The first thousand five hundred and ninety-two chapters behind the scenes

"The coaches and players of the returned New York "Heroes" Giants celebrate this historical moment with more than 2 million fans, and the celebration scene is unprecedentedly spectacular..."

“Budweiser will provide free beer for revelers at more than 20 bars on the parade route. In addition, other beer companies have also said that they do not want to be defeated by other manufacturers, and they provide free beer for fans on the day of the parade…”

"The fans came to the parade route in the early morning to prepare for this grand event. They were waiting for this carnival in the cold wind..."

Looking at the New York City on TV, which was caught in a carnival, millions of people screamed, slapped, hugged, and sang the live broadcast of the Giants' songs over and over again. They put their feet on the desk and lay on the presidential throne. They did not have the joy of winning the Giants' championship because of his magical predictions.

Especially when he saw Andy Smith standing in front of the microphone with a cheering of the entire New Yorkers, his mood became even worse.

The latest data shows that all aspects of the US economy have signs of further deterioration, from consumption to investment, from manufacturing to services, from financial markets to housing markets.

What is particularly worrying is that the U.S. unemployment rate reached its highest point in the past 26 years in January and is continuing to rise, and people's livelihood problems are becoming more and more serious.

In the presidential election, the American people placed their hopes on saving the economy and changing the status quo. If he cannot improve the economic situation as soon as possible after he took office, his ability to govern will inevitably be questioned.

The economic stimulus plan and new financial rescue plan were blocked in the Senate, and uncertainty about measures to rescue the banking industry led to investors selling financial stocks. The three major stock indexes in the New York stock market continued to plummet more than 4% today, amid a general decline yesterday.

This caused the panic of investors who had just calmed down to spread again, and they fled one after another in the market wailing.

Behind the current panic situation, Andy Smith's figure is looming, which made O'Guanhai, who has become president, truly realize for the first time that the young man with talent and lucky eyes in his eyes is not at all different from all the Wall Street super giants he has seen. Cold, greedy, and will do anything for the sake of his interests! In addition, I got some bad news early this morning, such as UBS Group announced a loss of US$7 billion in the fourth quarter and is preparing to cut another 2,200 employees.

Royal Bank of Scotland announced it will cut up to 2,300 positions in the UK.

General Motors plans to cut 10,000 salaried employees worldwide to cut costs.

Boeing's re-released results show that its losses in the fourth quarter expanded, while its full-year profit in 2008 shrank...

This is undoubtedly another fuel to the current stock market. As expected, in just one morning, the United States plummeted by more than 4%.

Helplessly, the president had to watch all this. Ao Guanhai picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, his face fell into the water, and reached out to pinch his nose. A sense of powerlessness surged in his heart. In addition to the helplessness that could not stop the stock market from plummeting, more importantly, he felt powerless about everything in Washington, even if he was already the president.

After the economic stimulus plan, which was already resistant to by the Party, was sent to the Senate, the original economic stimulus plan, which had a total of more than 800 billion US dollars, expanded to $937 billion. The donkey party senators added many expenditure projects to it, further escalating conflicts between the two parties, and signs of a plan being stranded became increasingly obvious.

Why don’t these greedy bastards think that if this plan cannot be implemented, the US economy may fall into the serious consequences of a lasting recession?

The fire in Ao Guanhai's heart quickly dissipated, and he shook his head helplessly and sighed. As a politician, he really understood the mentality of these people. Everyone wants to divide the cake with such a big person. However, after the distribution is completed, the person who has not been divided naturally wants to make the cake bigger again!

You should know that after learning that his economic stimulus plan was as high as $800 billion, including shoemakers, zoos, business center owners, airlines, public broadcasters, car dealers, even catfish breeders, and everyone else who can afford the lobby fee, sent lobbyists to Washington, fantasizing that they could get a "cake" from the above economic stimulus plan. Members of Congress are spared no effort to strive for the best interests of their constituencies, hoping to get the most delicious cake.

"Damn it, they just want people like me to keep the door because they know I'm going to do anything, they all like to be like this, get involved and make a profit from it. They don't need me to stick to anything, they just want me to stand up, I hope I'm strong, I want me to act...

Cards are washed, and the rules are manipulated.fxxk! Welcome to the end of the rational era. There is no right or wrong here, only entry and exit." Just like rap, Ao Guanhai muttered softly with an ugly expression, venting his anger.

"Ding"

The phone answering machine on the desk rang, Ao Guanhai took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and reached out to press it.

"Sir President, Senator Smith is here."

"Please come in."

After letting go, Ao Guanhai raised his mouth, stood up from the throne, tidied up his suit, looked at the Oval Office, and after hearing the knocks twice, the door was pushed open. Old Smith followed the presidential secretary indifferently and walked in.

"Good morning, Mr. President."

"Good morning, Senator Smith, please sit, coffee or tea?"

"Coffee, thank you."

Old Smith and O'Guanhai sat opposite each other and started chatting without a word. When the secretary served the coffee, Old Smith smiled and tasted it. After putting down the coffee cup, O'Guanhai began to say with a serious expression: "Mr. Smith, you can read the latest report from the Department of Labor? In January this year, the number of unemployed people in the United States reached 600,000, setting a record for the monthly unemployment since 1974. The overall unemployment rate reached 76%, setting a record since 1992. This situation significantly increased the urgency of passing the economic stimulus plan. The whole world is paying attention to what we will do in the next few days!"

The faint smile on Old Smith's face dissipated, and his eyes became extremely sharp and bright. "Everyone has many different opinions on the economic stimulus plan, and they all hope to "suspend" this plan to win more time for modification and make full use of the "taxpayer's money."

"No, no, Mr. Smith, every day the stimulus plan is implemented, and more Americans lose their jobs, save less, and cannot live in housing. You know, if Congress does not approve this plan, the recession may last for years, with another 5 million jobs reduced, the unemployment rate climbing to double digits, and the country will fall into a deeper crisis, and at some point, it may not be reversed.

Mr. Smith, don’t let “Washington’s bad habits” block our path to progress. I hope that our two parties can work together and act boldly to turn the crisis into opportunities, and write “another great chapter in our history”.” Ao Guanhaiyu convinced the Xiang Party boss in front of him earnestly, hoping that the other party could be moved by him.

Unfortunately, he faced an old fox who had a family background and had traveled in the political sea for a lifetime. Old Smith just chuckled faintly, blinked his eyes, and said lightly: "Okay, then we can exchange opinions first, I will try to go back and convince them..."

As he said that, he took out a folder from the bag beside him and handed it to Ao Guanhai, he said: "In addition to asking this plan to "slim down", he also requires additional tax cuts provided for individuals and enterprises, regarding the nomination of the Minister of Commerce and..."

After taking the folder and opening the Ao Guanhai who had just looked at him, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard Old Smith's words. He looked up and looked at the other party with a look of ugly expression. The elephant party was talking big!

Old Smith didn't care about Ao Guanhai's gaze and smiled faintly. He was here to ask for a price all over the place, so let's talk slowly. Thinking of the phone call from his grandson before, he would not be able to let the president of the donkey party be able to live a few days after the plan was passed, for his own interests!

In New York, Andy, sitting in the office of the Giants General Manager, put his hands in his pockets, stood in front of the floor-to-celebration window, watching the packed celebrations in the stadium, listening to the cheers of mountains and tsunamis, his eyes were crescent-shaped, his mouth was raised, and the smile on his face was extremely bright under the winter sunshine.
