In Washington, in the Hay Adams Hotel, which is famous for being "haunted" and is located opposite the White House, O'Hai Niu, who is preparing for the inauguration on the 20th, is sitting in front of the desk, with his arms propped on the desk and a phone in his hand.

"Hehe, don't tell me, you can't attend my inauguration?"

I only heard Andy's hearty laughter on the phone, and "How come, I will fly back to the United States, attend your ceremony, and then return to continue my voyage around the Pacific Ocean.

how about it? Have you come across a ghost? Ha ha"

Hearing Andy's teasing jokes, Ao Hei Niu shook his head and laughed. The media were overjoyed that he and his family stayed at the Devil's Hotel, and his team's decision achieved the desired effect.

"Hey Andy, I'm the President-elect of the United States of America, and I'm not afraid."

After the joke was over and his smile was restrained, O'Hei Niu did not forget the purpose of calling Andy Smith, and continued: "Andy, economists from all political parties agree that if we do not act quickly and boldly , we could see a more severe economic downturn, which could lead to double-digit unemployment, and the American dream will become even more difficult to achieve."

In the Pacific Ocean, Kuaiyin is like a swan spreading its wings against the wind, flying steadily on the water.

Andy smiled and nodded, took the coffee that Taylor brought him, watched Taylor blink his big eyes, sat down with a curious look on his face, stared at himself, couldn't help but shook his head with a chuckle, and didn't shy away from her, anyway. What a secret.

"The danger of the American economy is that it follows too rigidly an orthodoxy. In the midst of a severe economic crisis, the orthodoxy will prove inadequate."

On the satellite phone, Aoheiu's very characteristic voice came out: ""This is exactly why we need a U.S. economic recovery and reinvestment plan. This plan can not only increase employment opportunities in the short term, but also Stimulate economic growth and enhance competitiveness in the long run. "

Andy listened to the general content of the economic incentive plan disclosed to him by Ohei Niu, saying that the number one goal of the plan is to "create 3 million job opportunities, 80 of which are in the private sector." Make "long-term investments" in infrastructure, among other things, update America's health care system and build "21st century" learning institutions.

"The total amount of this plan is expected to be between US$675 billion and US$775 billion. My economic advisory group believes that if the crisis is to be overcome, at least US$1 trillion will be needed"

Andy heard the numbers revealed by Ao Hei Niu,

The corner of his mouth twitched, this guy is indeed going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing! It is conceivable that this fiscal stimulus plan will definitely cause the gap in the US fiscal deficit in 2009 to soar to more than 1 trillion US dollars, more than twice the deficit in 2008. It is inevitable that Congress will be blocked.

Sure enough, he heard the real purpose of Ao Hei Niu from the satellite phone, "I will talk with the leaders of both parties in Congress within the next week to urge them to accept this plan."

Andy covered the health phone, and said softly to Taylor beside him, "Go and bring me some fruit snacks."

The smart Taylor naturally knew that Andy was about to say something important, so he nodded quickly without being unhappy or hesitant, got up and walked into the cabin quickly.

Andy put the phone back to his ear, frowned and asked: "Without enough measures to reduce the fiscal deficit, this unprecedented stimulus package investment, have you thought about the fiscal deficit?

I think there are different opinions on the content of the plan within your transition team, right? "

""

After a short silence on the other end of the phone, Ao Hei Niu couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "You guessed it right, this is also one of the factors that I am worried that the proposal will not pass, but, Andy, if the US economy further declines, this will lead to Double-digit unemployment rate, if the economic crisis is not resolved as soon as possible, then in 4 years, my road to re-election will become more and more difficult."

Andy frowned slightly, remained silent, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, pursed his lips silently, and waited patiently.

"Andy, this will be an unprecedented stimulus package that will revitalize the American economy in the short term, invest in sustainable long-term growth, and deliver on key campaign promises on health care and alternative energy.

Doubling U.S. renewable energy production and repairing broken roads and bridges are among the top priorities of the plan.

In the "Innovation Strategy", in addition to providing incentive subsidy support of 250 to 2,600 US dollars for each low-carbon car, the government will also provide tax credits totaling up to 750 billion US dollars to encourage consumers to buy electric vehicles. "

Hearing the dry goods that Ao Hei Niu took out, Andy licked his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "What can I do?"

"Tomorrow, I will meet with the leaders of both parties in Congress to discuss the issue of passing this economic stimulus package as soon as possible. I want to urge Congress to act "quickly and boldly" to pass this fiscal stimulus package designed to boost the shrinking US economy .”

Andy smiled silently. Since the Donkey Party gained the upper hand and O Hei Niu was elected president, it was not as easy as he thought to unite the two parties and change the split situation in American politics. On the contrary, the differences between the two parties became more and more serious. hind legs.

Especially after Old Smith became the leader of the Elephant Party, he is bound to win the mid-term elections in 2010 and plans to regain the majority of seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives.

It was exposed on Christmas that Salzman, the leader of the Elephant Party in Tennessee, distributed a Christmas gift cd to all members, which contained racial discrimination and adapted the song O'Black Cow. It can be seen that the "innocuous" political humor reason escaped, and it is really not easy for Ohei Niu to get cheap in Congress.

"The current economic downturn really needs to find a solution as soon as possible to stimulate economic growth and enhance competitiveness as soon as possible."

Since he can get benefits, Andy will naturally not refuse to help, and he believes that this plan will eventually be passed, but it will fall into a tug-of-war of multi-party game compromise, which will take a long time.

As for the fresh president, O Hei Niu, with the idea of ​​turning the tide as a savior as soon as he took office, he set up a few big fires.

"However, it may be unrealistic for this fiscal stimulus package to arrive on January 20."

"Hey, I understand this too, but the most important thing right now is to start as soon as possible, time is running out.

By the way, Andy, are you Tesla considering expanding production capacity? Set up a new factory? "

Andy raised his eyebrows, and said with a light smile: "There is indeed such a consideration. The research and development of our second car product models is on the right track, and we are also planning for a rainy day. However, everything is still under investigation. Why do you care about it?" This problem? Any good suggestions?"

"Detroit"

"Sorry, I can't help you!"

Andy rolled his eyes, and directly interrupted Ao Hei Niu's continuation, "We are an IT company, not a traditional auto industry. Detroit has no attraction for us."

"Okay, okay, you always need workers!"

"I don't need it for the time being, and I don't have a good impression of the Auto Union members. Sorry, they played Detroit to death!"

Andy pouted, with a sneer on his face, and said mockingly.

"Hehe, well, let's leave it at that, I won't disturb your vacation, I'll wait for your good news."

Hearing Ao Hei Niu's helpless wry smile, Andy didn't care at all. He knew that Ao Hei Niu would not dare to offend the auto union. It was a giant second only to the Rifle Association and held a lot of votes .

And O'Hei Niu's fight for Detroit's interests is not out of public interest. You must know that the auto union campaign for O'Hei Niu not only spends a lot of money, but also actively contributes to it.

They even use the media to make speeches, incite public opinion, create a public opinion base in support of O'Hai Niu, post or distribute campaign slogans and leaflets, and launch a large number of attacks on rival McCain.

After hanging up the phone, Andy sneered. Tesla has always kept the auto union out, not only not recognizing them, but also not giving them the slightest chance to get involved in Tesla.

Andy is not used to them. The whole world can see how miserable the three major American auto giants have been. The Auto Union is already notorious. Let them rot slowly with the decline of Detroit!
