Chapter 4754: Persuasion
Everyone smiled but said nothing. Although this topic is a bit sensitive, it is related to their choice of the US election this time. However, they all know Lin Feng's character. Lin Feng brought it up at this moment, which also means that their relationship with Lin Feng is much closer than that of ordinary people. If they were not friends, Lin Feng would not say such things so openly. Of course, this also proves that Lin Feng is sincere in helping Donald this time.
"Lin, the US election has always been the most taboo for foreign funds to intervene. I hope you understand this!" NBA President Stern had to remind him.
Stern is old, and he is considering the future successor of the NBA. Originally, he had the courage to hand over the NBA to Lin Feng, but Lin Feng was so busy, and his business was so prosperous, so it was obviously impossible for him to give up everything to take over the NBA. So, he gave up the idea. However, the relationship between the two is good. Therefore, he must remind Lin Feng to prevent Lin Feng from making mistakes.
"Haha, don't worry, I will only provide my brain this time, not money!" Lin Feng pointed to his brain.
Everyone smiled. If Lin Feng only provided his brain, no one could blame him.
"Everyone, thank you for giving me this opportunity." Donald took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He knew that whether he could convince these business elites to help him depended on this time. This time, it was an opportunity that he had finally gotten. If he missed it, it would be difficult to find such a good opportunity again.
Everyone calmed down and listened to how Donald was going to persuade them.
"Everyone, regarding this election, as an independent candidate, it is naturally extremely difficult. But I think that in the history of American presidents, there should be an independent candidate. He does not represent the Democratic Party, nor the Republican Party, but only represents the will of the American people. The Democratic Party is nominally "left" and "liberal", representing the middle class and the poor. The Republican Party is "right" and "conservative", representing the bourgeoisie and social conservative forces. But these two parties have developed to this day, and actually represent the major interest groups behind them. The interests of real ordinary people are no longer within the consideration of the two major parties. No matter which of the two major parties comes to power, the priority is the interests of the interest groups behind their respective parties. And I will be an independent candidate to represent real Americans!" Donald said loudly.
Everyone nodded. This argument is not bad. At least it can attract some real poor people and free people. The fight between the two parties has long been described as a fight between donkeys and elephants in those black cartoons, and the US presidential election is just a political game for them. If Donald stands out, he can indeed attract many free people who have long been disgusted with the fight between the two parties.
Of course, this alone is not enough. Although there are many free people. But you, Donald, may not be able to reassure them.
"And the campaign slogan I proposed this time is to make Americans make more money!" Donald said confidently.
Make Americans make more money! Everyone smiled.
This slogan is really vulgar. Compared with McCain's slogan of keeping children away from violence and pornography, and Obama's slogan of health care reform. But it is much worse. But if you think about it carefully, this slogan is more touching. Don't forget that this society is a money society. No one doesn't like money, including all of you here, who doesn't worry about money every day. Of course, they are no longer worried about a day's meal, but about making their assets more powerful, making their reputation more prominent, and giving them more power. All of these are built with money.
Money is the root of all evil, but it is also the ancestor of everything. Although it is said that power is greater than money, don't forget that the original composition of power also comes from money. Only with money can you recruit troops and establish your prestige, and then you can build your power and have power. Moreover, even if you have power, if you don't give money to your subordinates, your power will collapse.
That's why philosophers say that power and money are twins.
"I will do my best to double the income of the bottom income earners during my term, and those in the middle class can also get an income increase of more than 50%!" Donald said loudly.
Hey! Everyone was stunned. This bragging is a bit too much. Doubling the income of the bottom may be possible, but increasing the income of the middle class by 50% is too exaggerated.
"Of course, not only that, I will also increase the income of the upper income earners by a small amount. Of course, it is a small amount for them, but it is a large increase for the middle class, and it is a sky-high number for the lower income earners!" Donald said with a smile, "My slogan is to make money, make money, and make more money!"
At this moment, all the elites looked at each other in bewilderment. It was really difficult for them to comment on this. Donald's slogan was too alternative and too difficult to accept. However, if he wants to succeed in the election and become the president of the United States as an independent candidate, then this may be his only way to win.
However, the American people will not only listen to you howl a few slogans, but they will vote for you. After all, this is much more illusory than trying to keep children away from violence and pornography, or medical reform. Education and medical reform can be changed directly through administrative orders, but making money does not mean that you can make money just by issuing an order. The most difficult thing in this world is to make money. Countless people have to work hard to make money. If you talk nonsense like this, not many people will believe it. Don’t forget, the United States is the richest country in the world. It’s hard to get voters to vote with your empty talk.
"Industry! I will vigorously promote industry so that more Americans can find jobs and reduce the unemployment rate as much as possible. When the unemployment rate is low enough and there are vacancies for workers, wages will naturally rise. At the same time, the rise of industry , will also promote all walks of life,” Donald said, “I will change the current financial society in the United States and return to an industrial society!”
Cuban and others all frowned. He is in the Internet business, and it was through the Internet that he made his first fortune and gained his current net worth. Doing business is not suitable for people like him. However, if the industry really does well and the people have more money in their hands, then the people will not mind spending money on the Internet. As games are so popular today, more and more people are willing to spend money to play games, and this is the reason.
"Donald, we quite agree with your slogan of 'make more money'. But we want to know one thing, how do you promote industrial development?" Mayor Bloomberg asked.
He is the mayor of New York, and New York is the financial center of the world, with banks everywhere and Wall Street being the focus of the world. When Donald promoted industry, he not only did not oppose it, but supported it. Because the financial industry is by no means the foundation of society. If all the people are engaged in finance, who will be engaged in industry? You know, every bit of your life, a tube of toothpaste, a towel, can only be made in a factory. It's not produced by your Wall Street brokers. Although there is outsourcing now, if a country relies entirely on outsourcing, it will inevitably suffer some losses.
Industry is always the backbone of a country!
"Heavy industry! First, we still need to vigorously support heavy industry and agriculture. Although heavy industry has entered the mechanical age, many jobs still cannot be replaced by mechanized assembly lines, and this requires recruiting more workers. We only need to give these enterprises Seeing profits, we will definitely invest in factories in the United States, which will bring a lot of employment. Secondly, in agriculture, the world is short of food, and the international community will be short of food for a long time to come. Of course, this is thanks to Lin. , Genetically modified seeds are now banned from sale globally, and Monsanto will also face sky-high compensation. Genetically modified foods will completely disappear from our world. Without genetically modified foods, the food gap will be even greater. The United States has a vast land and sparse population, which is suitable for planting. "Food country." Donald smiled, "So, I believe Americans can make more money."
Everyone nodded slowly...
. Although these points are not entirely able to impress everyone. But it shouldn't be a big problem if it's used to convince some ordinary people. What's more, Donald's mouth has always been powerful. He makes promises and offers to the people, and the people might actually pay for it!
"But one thing is that your background is shallow. Donald, your campaign team is really bad. If Lin Feng hadn't been here today, I'm afraid you would have suffered a huge humiliation today!" Mayor Bloomberg criticized.
When he ran for president, although he failed, he did not suffer such humiliation. This is simply unheard of. If no one showed up at the charity dinner, Donald would become the laughingstock of the United States.
Donald was also embarrassed. This is what he failed this time. But the team he can recruit is already the best publicity team. He thought there was no problem before, but now he understands what the problem is. Although his team has no problem with publicity, they don't understand politics. And politics is a game that can kill people. This time, the other party didn't come forward at all, just an order or a phone call, which almost caused him to fall into trouble. This is the art of politics! The group of propagandists under him are weak in comparison.
"But I do have a candidate to recommend!" Mayor Bloomberg said with a smile.
"Oh, Mayor Bloomberg, please say it!" Donald was surprised.
"Haha, it all depends on Mr. Lin. Don't forget, the former US President Bill Clinton is now his financial advisor! And Bill Clinton, during his tenure, was the best period for the US economy. You also promote the economy , I think you two should be able to resonate!" Mayor Bloomberg said with a smile.
Watch the reborn evildoer live a long life.
