Chapter 3841 America Is Always Changing
The same trouble as Clinton? Lin Feng was stunned, then understood.
Scandal! Clinton's biggest trouble was the Lewinsky sex scandal. I didn't expect that Mayor Kilpatrick would also have a sex scandal. Clinton, as the youngest president of the United States, and now the mayor of the youngest major city in the United States, actually made such a mistake. This is a coincidence, or perhaps it is inevitable. After all, when this person is young, it is inevitable that he will be hot-blooded. Once you meet a beautiful female subordinate who admires you, it is inevitable that you will make mistakes.
"Okay, I'll introduce you." Lin Feng nodded. It's just a small favor.
Then, Lin Feng announced that he would rest in Detroit for a few days. He will return to China on New Year's Day to participate in the celebration ceremony of "Infinite Horror" which will be released in the new year!
"Hey, Bill, thank you for your hard work." Lin Feng received Clinton, who came to Detroit Airport after hearing the news.
"Haha, take money from others, and help them get rid of their misfortunes. By the way, what's the matter this time? Are you going to invest in Detroit?" Clinton asked, "Invest in the automobile manufacturing industry?"
As Lin Feng's investment consultant, Clinton immediately sorted out the relevant materials after receiving Lin Feng's call, and rushed over overnight with two assistants. As one of the most successful presidents of the United States, Detroit showed signs of economic recession during his term. But Clinton's eyes were on high-tech development at the time, and it was high-tech development that made the United States under Clinton's term show a vigorous development. Therefore, Clinton ignored the problem of Detroit's economic recession.
During the term of his successor, President Bush, 911 made anti-terrorism the only theme during his term. Coupled with the rise in oil prices, President Bush had no energy to care about the rise and fall of Detroit, an old industrial city. It can be said that Detroit's current situation, from a macro perspective, is due to the bad results planted during the Clinton administration. Therefore, Clinton himself still deeply agrees with Lin Feng's plan to invest in Detroit, and is extremely enthusiastic. After all, the United States is his homeland, and he is the former president of the United States. During his term of office, the Detroit crisis occurred. He hopes that after he leaves office, he can still cure the pain of Detroit.
"Haha, Bill. This time, there are two things for you to deal with. One is the cooperation with Detroit and the investment in the construction of a new automobile city. The second thing is a private matter." Lin Feng said with a smile, "As for this private matter, you will know when you meet Mayor Kilpatrick."
Clinton pursed his lips and followed Lin Feng into the car. Soon. He met Mayor Kilpatrick.
"Mr. Clinton, nice to meet you! You know, I have always been your admirer when you were president. I dream of reaching your height one day. Thank you so much for coming this time!" Mayor Kilpatrick was excited to see Clinton.
"Haha. Mayor Kilpatrick, there is no black president in the United States yet. I hope you can become the first black president of the United States!" Clinton praised.
At the age of 36, he has been re-elected as mayor of the largest city in the United States. If he can lead the automobile city to revival, then he will surely become the most favorable candidate for the future US president. And this time will not be too far away. In 10 years, he has the hope to compete in the US presidential election! Clinton said in admiration.
No matter which industry, youth is always capital.
"I hope so! Hahaha~~~" Kilpatrick laughed, "If I have the hope of becoming the first black president of the United States in the future. I must hire Mr. Clinton as my Secretary of State!"
Clinton smiled faintly.
"Okay,
Let's talk about business!" Clinton directly brought the topic to the point, "Regarding my client Mr. Lin's investment in Detroit, I hope the Detroit government can provide convenience in acquisition, site selection, and equipment purchase. At the same time, I hope the Detroit government can persuade the United Automobile Workers Union to make concessions in salary cuts."
Lin Feng exclaimed. This is indeed worthy of the former president of the United States. He grasped the key points as soon as he came. You know, Lin Feng did not tell Clinton about the agreement he reached with Mayor Kilpatrick. Because of lack of time, Clinton flew here directly. The two did not communicate in the middle. But Clinton still grasped the key points as soon as he came. This shows his keen vision in the economy.
"About acquisition. I hope my client can acquire Chrysler! Your government should support the acquisition!" Clinton dropped the first bomb as soon as he arrived.
Chrysler? Lin Feng was also stunned. Lin Feng had naturally heard of Chrysler. This is a well-known American automobile manufacturing company. It is one of the three major American automobile companies along with General Motors and Ford. Can I acquire this? Lin Feng was a little skeptical.
"Lin, Chrysler is no longer the Chrysler of the past. Today's Chrysler has fallen into a bankruptcy crisis. According to the information I have obtained, Chrysler's current debt is as high as 7.8 billion US dollars, and this debt is likely to continue to deteriorate in the next few years. Chrysler can't hold on!" Clinton looked at Lin Feng and said, "The overall decline of the US real economy, especially the decline of the automobile industry, has led to Chrysler's inevitable path of bankruptcy and reorganization. And acquisition is the best way out for them!"
Lin Feng nodded. Lin Feng is aware of the decline of the American automobile industry. After all, in the era when Lin Feng was reborn, not to mention Chrysler, even General Motors, the number one auto giant in the United States, was going bankrupt. But can I buy it myself? It's not like Geely buying Volvo, that's different. As one of the three major automobile giants in the United States, will the U.S. government allow itself to acquire Chrysler?
"As for the qualifications for acquisition, Lin, there is no problem at all. Maybe you don't know much about the national policy of the United States. Indeed, the United States has national protectionism, but that refers to certain high-tech fields, such as those involving the production of military industry. Enterprise, Boeing, will never allow any foreign investment. But Chrysler is just a very simple civilian automobile company, and the industrial structure chain of the United States has been adjusting in the 1920s, and the United States relied on steel and oil. After that, the steel and oil industries gradually declined, and then the U.S. automobile manufacturing and shipbuilding industries rose. After that, the financial industry, information technology, software and other industries became the pillars of the U.S. economy. It can be said that the U.S. industrial chain structure! We are constantly adjusting and adjusting with the progress of the times!" Clinton explained.
"In other words, for today's United States, the automobile manufacturing industry is no longer the focus, and Detroit's bankruptcy is particularly historic. Because it did not keep up with the pace of reform of the times, it declined. Twenty years ago , the automobile city is famous all over the world. Today, Silicon Valley is the center of the world!" Clinton said proudly, "Americans have been leading global changes, and every industrial adjustment has brought great success to the United States. Huge benefits! And this is the symbol of a superpower! "
Lin Feng was silent. Indeed, as Clinton said, the success of the United States is not only due to its military strength, but not its economic strength. The real strength is that the United States has always been innovating and leading the world. Just like Japan, even if it becomes the world's second largest economy, Japan will still be vulnerable if war breaks out again. Its economy has its limits. The same is true for China.
Regardless of nuclear weapons, if the war between China and the United States continues, China will eventually be brought down first. This is not only because the U.S. economy is stronger, but also because Americans are always innovating. Whenever one field is overtaken by other countries, it can always lead the world in another field and make this field a global leader. The most noticeable focus. From this point of view, the United States is indeed not afraid of any country.
The Arabs have money, but they play with oil. Oil was something that the United States stopped playing after the 1920s. Russia has heavy industry, but heavy industry was also eliminated by the United States after the 1980s. Europe has high-tech industries, but all its high-tech standards come from the United States. China, on the other hand, only has a lot of people. When there are many people, the first problem is not the power, but the consumption.
Beyond the United States, Lin Feng suddenly wanted to laugh. It was so ridiculous! How many years behind China is the United States? 50 years! Really 50 years!
"Lin! Lin? Lin!" Clinton called softly a few times, waking Lin Feng from his meditation.
"Haha, I was just distracted for a moment. Bill, continue." Lin Feng smiled lightly.
Although China is 50 years behind the United States, it is confident that with its own efforts, it can shorten the distance as much as possible. At least, individually speaking, I am no worse than anyone in the United States. In the future, not only will I not lose to anyone in the United States, I will also be ahead of them. Since the whole cannot be surpassed in a short period of time, let the individual surpass it comprehensively.
"Chrysler, Lin, we will acquire Chrysler. However, since your Shenlong Motors has a national component, I have a proposal. Either you let Jessica Alba become an investor in the acquisition, or you let the Chinese government withdraw its shares." , let Shenlong Motors become your sole proprietorship, and then acquire Chrysler. Once the business involves the country, it will be very complicated!" Clinton said, "Even if the automobile industry is no longer the focus of the United States. , Americans can make high profits through software, and then buy cheap cars from Japan or Europe at low prices, but when it comes to countries, especially China, there will always be some people who oppose it for the sake of transaction. Purity, let the government withdraw its shares, and return your private nature!" Clinton said seriously.
Lin Feng frowned. This is a bit difficult!
