Chapter 3608 You Must Believe Me (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

[Monster] Chapter 3608 You must believe me (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival) [Text version]

Lin Feng frowned.

California's financial situation is not good, and Lin Feng knows it. Lin Feng has invested so much in California and has such a good relationship with California Governor Schwarzenegger, so he naturally has to understand the situation in California. At present, the situation in California is not optimistic. No, I cannot say that I am optimistic, I should say that I am very pessimistic. Most Californians are not optimistic about California's prospects. Although California is the sixth largest economy in the world, the financial situation of the California government makes it difficult for everyone to have expectations for it.

And this is why Schwarzenegger was able to become the governor of California. With no prospects, the people of the state can only choose to believe in the emergence of a Hollywood heroic figure. They hope that Schwarzenegger can kill everyone like he did on the screen and lead the people of California to open up a new world and create a future.

Unfortunately, Schwarzenegger himself was disappointed. He did not expect California's financial situation to be so bad. To this end, he consulted many financial experts, but none of them had much substantive advice. Even if they occasionally put forward a few suggestions, most of them would be painful and even lead to an unpredictable future. Schwarzenegger didn't dare to gamble randomly, so he could only seek skills from Lin Feng. I hope this Chinese boy, who has always been known as a miracle, can give him some insights.

"Governor, California's financial situation also has a long history, and there are many issues left over from history." Lin Feng said solemnly.

Schwarzenegger nodded. California's fiscal revenue is high, much stronger than other states, but its spending is also high. After all, as the most prosperous state in the United States, prices are correspondingly relatively expensive. Moreover, in the past, in order to vigorously develop California, some overly preferential corporate policies were introduced. As a result, many companies have high profits but low taxes. In addition, many companies in California, especially many companies in Silicon Valley, have chosen tax avoidance methods permitted by law. These tax avoidance methods, although legal, are unethical. It is a legal loophole that is exploited.

For example, Bill Gates, the president of Microsoft, has established a foundation. Since U.S. law has many preferential tax policies for private charitable funds, this has resulted in Bill Gates’ annual tax payment being even lower than that of one person in his company. There are more ordinary high-rises. All of them. California’s financial situation can be imagined.

Of course, in addition to taxation, there is also a lot of investment in urban infrastructure, which is also huge. In the past three years or so, Schwarzenegger has tried to use his Hollywood heroic spirit to transform California, but he has failed.

what to do?

"Lin, tell me, if you have any suggestions, say them all. Don't have any worries!" Schwarzenegger said expectantly.

Lin Feng pondered. I'm really not an expert in this area. For governing a state. To be honest, Lin Feng is really not good at it. Including the management of the company, Lin Feng has always been a hands-off boss and never participated in actual management. But facing the expectant Schwarzenegger, Lin Feng really couldn't say anything that he was powerless to say.

"Lin, I am really on the verge of desperation now. To be honest, I have to be re-elected this time." Schwarzenegger saw Lin Feng and said nothing. Thinking that Lin Feng was afraid of something, he smiled bitterly and told the problem he was facing now. "After I took over, the California government's debt increased by $5 billion. If I step down, my evaluation will be very bad, and the outside world will say that I am a bad politician. So, I have to be re-elected to change everything. But I I also know that even if I am re-elected, I will not be able to do anything about California’s debt in the future, and it will only continue to get worse. At that time, I will not only face the title of a bad politician, but it will even affect my future. Political career. My original plan was that after the governor of California left office,

Just run for Congress. It's a pity that now it seems that if California becomes a mess, I won't talk about congressmen! "

Lin Feng's heart tightened. Unexpectedly, the situation faced by Schwarzenegger was already so serious. And if Schwarzenegger steps down and withdraws from American politics in the future, he will lose a support in the United States. Although the restrictions of U.S. law prevent Schwarzenegger as the governor from actually helping him, sometimes a little policy preference within the legal permission, or help under circumstances where help is possible or not, is enough to help him. Lin Feng has a lot less trouble.

"Governor, regarding this issue at hand, I think we can only approach it from two aspects." Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

"Tell me!" Schwarzenegger's eyes lit up. Although Lin Feng has never managed any city or even a company, he is a very magical person. Schwarzenegger has always thought so. Maybe, he can help himself create a miracle.

"The first is to continue to improve your reputation and prestige; the second is to expand California's fiscal revenue." Lin Feng said slowly.

Schwarzenegger pondered slightly and didn't say much. He knew that Lin Feng had more to say later. At this time, all he had to do was listen instead of expressing any opinions.

“California’s current situation makes it unrealistic to change its financial situation in a short period of time. In that case, California voters will definitely be disappointed with you. Therefore, you must improve your reputation so that voters will always believe in you and believe in you in the future. It is possible to change California. This is the most important thing!" Lin Feng said.

Schwarzenegger nodded slowly. This can be regarded as encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao. Since California's financial situation cannot be improved in the short term, we choose to make voters believe that they have the possibility to change the future situation. As long as voters believe that they have the potential to change California's destiny, they will not give up on themselves and will always believe in themselves.

"What to do?" Schwarzenegger asked.

"It's very simple, people's livelihood issues! Just make every Californian feel that they are the happiest in California." Lin Feng smiled slightly, "The United States is a country with a lot of guns. The gun problem has always troubled all American citizens. In particular, gun cases on campus occur from time to time, so we must try our best to prevent gun cases on campus from happening. In addition, we must increase our efforts to combat crime and reduce the crime rate for everyone. Everyone can live and work in peace and contentment.”

"This is not about increasing investment in police force. This..." Schwarzenegger frowned. The current financial situation in California is bad enough. If we continue to increase investment in the police, I'm afraid... the Congress will not agree. Of course, more importantly, the security in California is pretty good, which is the excuse for the congressmen's rejection.

"Governor, the problem of the proliferation of guns in the United States is very serious. This is especially true for many wealthy people. They do not want their personal safety to be threatened at any time. Therefore, you must control the crime rate as much as possible!" Lin Feng said seriously, "Although this will make California's financial situation extremely bad, I believe you can gain the support of voters. As long as California's finances can be turned around in the future, there will be no problem at all."

Schwarzenegger thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

"Lin, this is a desperate move!" Schwarzenegger smiled bitterly.

"Haha, of course, this is a bit of a gamble, but believe me, I definitely have a way for you to turn around California's finances!" Lin Feng chuckled.

"Really?" Schwarzenegger couldn't believe it.

"Of course, you have to believe me." Lin Feng's eyes were shining.

In two years, when the financial crisis breaks out, the subprime mortgage crisis detonated on Wall Street in New York will completely sweep the world. Historically, California also suffered heavy losses due to the financial crisis. This is why Schwarzenegger was eventually called a bad politician. But since this crisis will be detonated by himself, then he will let Schwarzenegger avoid being called a victim in this financial catastrophe.

During the 2008 financial crisis, even if Schwarzenegger could not completely reverse the situation in California, as long as California was not too involved, the outside world's comments on Schwarzenegger would rise to a higher level.

"Okay, I believe you, and I will try my best to promote police reform." Schwarzenegger said seriously.

Lin Feng chuckled. If Schwarzenegger believes in himself, that would be great. He believes in himself, and only then can the suggestions he puts forward be adopted, and only then can Schwarzenegger change his political image, which will also help him more in the future.

"As for turning around California's finances, there is only one thing: let more real economy enter California!" Lin Feng said solemnly, "Although the financial system is the most profitable and high-tech is the most gimmick, the backbone of a country is the real economy, and the same is true for California. So. California's Silicon Valley is indeed famous around the world, but the risks involved are also very high, and the employment rate in the high-tech industry is very low. Computers have replaced labor, but the real economy can reduce California's unemployment rate by several percentage points. . Therefore, vigorously developing the real economy, even if these real economies provide very little tax revenue, will reduce the number of unemployed people in California, and the government’s investment in the unemployed population will be greatly reduced." Lin Feng He said with a smile, “You know, unemployment benefits are also a huge expense!”

Schwarzenegger was slightly confused. In his opinion, more financial companies and high-tech companies would be in line with California's image and identity as the world's sixth largest economy. He really doesn't like the real economy. The investment is huge, the output is not big (compared to the financial industry and high technology), and it also has an impact on environmental damage. He has never cared much about the real economy. But Lin Feng said so, but he had to do it. After all, he has no more choices now.

"Of course, in addition to the real economy, there should also be greater investment in new energy. And I will invest in a new energy company in California with an annual output value of more than 10 billion US dollars!" Lin Feng showed his trump card.

This is what Lin Feng has been planning. It is also a weapon against the ‘G23’ in the future! New energy, if the world does not use oil, hey, that would be so interesting!
