America’s Big Hero

Chapter 455 Old Bu's Dilemma

"Crazy, lawless, if this kind of person is not restrained, the world will be completely chaotic!!" The Malay Sultan watched the video, his face livid.

The scene of the Umbrella using Dong 1 to bomb Pablo’s base with incendiary bombs was being shown on TV. Perhaps the Malay Sultan thought that he was threatened by the Umbrella, and it was stimulated by the fact that Sean was pushing the Chinese to rebel behind his back.

It was very immersive when I watched this tape.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Umbrella threw incendiary bombs towards his state one day!

"It's really too much." A white man next to him raised his hand to pause the video, and said with a heavy face: "The world needs peace, but some people are always trying to promote it out of personal interests. War has brought great damage to the world and brought a lot of deaths to the people."

"We admit that those people were involved in the production of drugs, but they were only out of consideration for their livelihood. The real criminal is Pablo, not those innocent Colombian poor who don't know a single word."

"But some people just like to hold the banner of righteousness and do unjust things."

"After this incident, this gentleman also brought this videotape everywhere to threaten the leaders of other countries, threatening to sell the Devil Birds to those anti-government armed forces, drug criminals, and gangsters, and forced many South American countries to order the aircraft they produced. "

"According to the news we got, he will go to Southeast Asia to sell, and then Africa."

"This kind of strong buying and selling is the biggest damage to the free trade system, and we cannot be sure that he will not sell this powerful weapon to the rebels in the future."

"On the contrary, based on what this gentleman has done in the past, this possibility is not small, or very high. He is an out-and-out warmonger and murderous maniac."

"We all know that Southeast Asia is actually not peaceful. Including Malays, there are still anti-government armed forces on the northern border with Thailand. Once they grow stronger, they will inevitably destroy the development opportunities that Southeast Asia has hardly encountered."

"So." The Malay Sultan snorted heavily, "You have nothing to do, just watch him flaunt his power like this."

"We feel that it is time for the United Nations to issue some laws and regulations to impose some reasonable and legal restrictions on the destructive behavior caused by the expansion of private force to the international situation." The white man shrugged, "However, the current call is not The United States stands behind this gentleman, and the United States is also happy to see its influence expand."

"In addition, there is that evil country in the east that has been dormant and ready to re-rule Asia at any time. This gentleman bought many weapons from there and has a deep relationship."

"So, if you want to reverse this situation, you have to do it yourself, unite more people to speak up, and when this voice gathers, some things can really enter the stage of promotion, instead of constantly wrangling because of the existence of certain countries."

"I'll think about it." The Malay Sultan didn't agree impulsively. He also had to consider the risks and the possibility of being retaliated by Sean.

However, when he thought of the great losses that guy had caused Malays, and the shame he had brought to Malays again and again, he began to get angry.

Anyway, it is the most powerful country in Southeast Asia!

Although Vietnamese, Indonesians don't think so...

...

Xiao En didn't know that someone was secretly plotting against him behind the scenes, so he could only say that it's a mediocrity not to be envied by others!

There are always people who want to harm me.

He's in Washington right now.

Just before he arrived in New York, Xiao Bu called, but Sean rested at home for a few days, teased the children and so on, and went to see old man David by the way.

From time to time, I show my face in the family office, brush up my sense of presence, and pay attention to the body of old David.

When the old man dies, I can come out to take over...

Of course, this idea cannot be let old David know, the old man will go crazy.

"Sean, sit down first, everything will be ready soon, I'm frying steak, I'll try my cooking later." Old Bu, wearing an apron and gloves, said enthusiastically to Sean at the kitchen door.

"Haha, you must try this. The president of the world's largest country cooks the steak himself. I don't think there are many people in the world who can eat it. It's my honor, Uncle Bush." ​​Sean smiled and tilted his head. Glanced towards the kitchen.

Let alone whether it tastes good or not, the name alone is enough to bluff people.

Ten minutes later, Sean and the Bush family went to the dinner table together and cut a piece of Bush steak. Sean chewed it lightly, not to mention, it was really delicious!

Sean closed his eyes, nodded while chewing, and made a humming sound in his mouth.

"How is it?" Old Bu asked Xiao En with a smile.

"It's unexpectedly good." Sean's expression and compliments were all just right, appearing very real.

Lao Bu felt a little relieved.

The meal was still very good. There was no talk about work at the dinner table, only some recent things about Sean in Colombia, talking and laughing after the meal.

After dinner, the Bu family father and son and Sean came to the study.

"I invite you here this time, mainly because I want to consult some financial matters. As we all know, Sean, you have a talent beyond ordinary people in financial matters. I hope you can give me some advice." After drinking a cup of black tea, Old Bu opened the Chatter box, "You know, the national treasury is empty now, and we have encountered great financial difficulties."

Of course Sean knew about these things, and he also expected that Lao Bu was looking for him.

"Uncle Bush, your advisory team should have suggestions." Sean asked.

"Yes, increase employment, lower taxes, expand exports, it's still the same old style." Bush's tone can be heard depressed.

Sean chuckled, what does it mean to listen to what you have to say, like listening to what you have to say.

Historically, Bush's team was not good at economics. In addition, Reagan left behind a lot of mess. In the end, Bush was kicked out after only one term.

The so-called advisory team, in fact, does not all listen to Lao Bu. Many of them are from Lao Bu's supporter groups. Naturally, they want to seek benefits for the group, so they naturally tend to think about issues.

Of course, Old Bu understands and doesn't mind giving something in return. This is all tacit, but now he is already sitting in the position of president.

In his position, seeking his own government, from the day he ascended the presidency, he naturally had conflicts with those who supported him at the beginning.

Lao Bu is not a puppet, and the president of the United States cannot simply be a puppet of a certain interest group!

This is the largest country in the world!

Sitting in this position, he has to think about this country. The Bush family is a political family, and fame and wealth are the most important thing. Obviously, fame is more important to the family.

"Okay, what is our relationship, I will say something straight." Sean thought for a while and said: "Increasing employment is almost impossible."

Although he is also a supporter of the Bush family, he is different from the interest group that supports the old cloth. He invests in the Bush family, after all, there is Bush Jr.

Besides, for the time being, Sean doesn't have any need for Lao Bu to tilt his policy.

"How do you say it?" Old Bu frowned tightly, his expression serious, and Xiao Bu's expression also became serious.

"Can we kill or buy off all those labor unions, and then reduce workers' wages, or extend working hours?" Sean asked rhetorically, "Prohibit workers from striking or suppress strikes, and let them be honest?"

"That's impossible." Old Bu shook his head, "Not everyone in each trade union is purely for personal gain, and many people do agree with this idea. Strike is a worker's right, and no one can take it away. This is the founding of the United States. book."

The corners of Sean's mouth curled up, his face was full of mockery, capitalism is based on strikes, this is a right, and, ahem...

It is true to say that capitalism is based on strikes. It was the strikes and revolutions in Europe that gave birth to capitalism.

Of course, capitalists were behind every strike movement hundreds of years ago.

Eventually capitalism was born, and the tradition of the strike became a right, and finally a shackles on the hands and feet of capitalists.

While more advanced regimes have clearly learned the lessons of capitalism, strike?

nonexistent!

"So." Sean spread his hands, "The United States is already the largest country in the world, no matter in terms of economy, technology, military, or politics."

"In contrast, the wages of our workers are also increasing day by day, and the production cost is gradually rising. For the same product, our labor cost alone is higher than the overall cost of many countries."

"Products naturally lose their competitiveness, and they lose money when they start work. This can be seen in the business competition with Benzi in the past 20 years. We have been forced back step by step by Japanese companies in industries such as steel, automobiles, textiles, and home appliances. , factories either go bankrupt or cut production, which naturally leads to an increase in unemployment and a reduction in taxes."

"So simply cutting taxes or something can't help factories get out of trouble, nor can it stimulate consumption and stimulate market vitality."

At this time, Xiaobu interjected: "We can also increase the technological content, our brand has higher added value!"

"A roll of toilet paper, tell me how to increase the technological content?" Sean rolled his eyes and mocked directly: "Wiping your butt with American-made butt wipes can prevent hemorrhoids or increase your IQ!"

"Or make your ass smell nice?"

"Uh..." Xiao Bu's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

"The things that are used the most in our lives, consume the most, and can never be separated, actually don't have much technological content. Even if the production efficiency is slightly higher, it is useless in the face of high labor costs." Xiao En said categorically: "We use paper, towels, clothes, shoes, water heaters, light bulbs, etc. In the end, the competitiveness depends on the price!"

"Don't mention to me that a high-end suit costs a few hundred dollars. The global luxury goods market is only a bit big, and its proportion in the civilian product market is negligible." Xiao En didn't give Xiaobu a chance to refute.

"And Uncle Bush can investigate these companies again when he goes back. They are either bankrupt or operating in difficulties. Therefore, it is inevitable that the unemployment rate will rise."

Old Bu looked at Sean in shock, didn't he?

What are the interest groups behind Lao Bu?

The oil industry, arms companies, steel industry, shipbuilding industry, heavy industry, etc., those small companies are not qualified to support the US presidential election.

Naturally, these news would not fall into his ears.

"Then what should we do?" Old Bu rubbed his temples with a headache. To be honest, the vice president has never paid attention to these industries or these things in the past 8 years.

No one mentioned it to him.

Taking the paper industry as an example, after the U.S. Congress abolished tariffs on low-priced products imported from Canada in 1913, the U.S. paper industry suffered the first major blow, which led to the bankruptcy of many small paper companies.

In the end, the largest paper company in the United States took the approach of going north to Canada to obtain raw material production sites and lower labor prices, which saved the paper industry.

"No way!" Sean spread his hands, "This is an inevitable law of social development. As the world's largest country, the United States has high labor costs. All relatively backward productive forces will inevitably be eliminated by American society and transferred to backward The country produces."

"Then just watch?" Bush stared at Sean.

Sean murmured to himself, it is also possible to forcibly lower the wages of the workers.

Didn't the experts say that low wages are our advantage, and malicious wage increases are prohibited...

"Of course not." Xiao En said with a smile: "The government can provide some policy protection, such as raising tariffs on imported daily necessities, etc., and concentrate on transferring this part of backward production capacity to backward countries, using their low wages to save our company."

"The transfer of production capacity, we still haven't solved the employment problem?" Lao Bu asked with a frown.

"First, the company is not dead, second, the headquarters is still in the country, and third, taxation." Sean continued: "This at least increases taxation, doesn't it?"

"Okay." Although Lao Bu is not very satisfied, there is no better way than this, and the government takes the lead, at least it is an achievement.

"If according to what you said, many companies are now facing bankruptcy and other problems, and they have to transfer outdated production capacity and lay off a large number of workers, they simply don't have that much money." Unavoidable to face economic problems, so think a lot.

"Loan, why is it a government organization? That's one of the reasons, and it's still a very important part." Sean said with a smile: "Of course, I don't recommend tax exemption or something. It's a big contribution to fiscal revenue. Hurt. I also know that the government is also struggling financially."

"I also know that the government has to take risks. Well, I, Sean, am not that powerful, but I can't look at Uncle Bush in a difficult situation. Sean Bank can provide a loan of 5 billion US dollars to support this work."

Old Bu laughed, "Thank you very much, Sean. The American people will remember you, and history will remember your contribution to this country."

Between talking and laughing, a PY deal was concluded.

Sean Bank will not directly deal with enterprises. This loan is issued through the government. The Bush administration can use this loan to carry out large-scale publicity to show its efforts to save the country's economy. It can also use the amount of loans to buy those Companies in trouble.

Sean Bank releases the loan through the government, which not only ensures the safety of the loan, but also earns a large amount of interest, and as the partner this time, all overseas settlement business of these companies that accept the loan will use Sean Bank .

This plays a vital role in the expansion of the bank's business scope.

In fact, almost all of this money is transferred back and forth within the bank, and it is nothing more than a number...

Moreover, even if there are companies that do not manage well and fail to pay the loan, it is okay. The companies that can enter the government organization this time are considered high-quality assets, and the banks will not lose money if they get them.

After talking about backward production capacity, Lao Bu asked again: "Is there any other way to increase fiscal revenue?"

Sean tilted his head and thought for a while, of course there was. What happened when Clinton came to power later, but you can’t sell all this old foundation at once, so how can you show your value, “Global taxation!”

Old Bu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. As the president, he is always particularly interested in the word taxation, "What is global taxation?"

"There are people who have taken American citizenship. No matter whether he works in the United States or abroad, he has to pay taxes to the United States!" Sean said with a vicious tone in his tone: "Americans are everywhere in the world. Being able to enjoy super-national treatment is rooted in the fact that the United States is strong enough to enjoy privileges, so it is natural to give rewards, which is fair.”

"In addition, the salaries of those American companies' expatriate employees must be paid in the United States and pay national taxes."

"This..." Lao Bu didn't realize it for a while. Taxes are extremely complicated in the United States. Only the most brilliant accountants can figure out how many legal tax avoidance methods there are.

For a while, Lao Bu couldn't quite understand what Sean's global taxation meant.

For the time being, Sean only mentioned these two, and the others were either because Lao Bu hadn't gained a firm foothold and were inappropriate, or they were left behind by Sean.

After chatting about other things, Sean bid farewell to Bush's house.

As soon as he got into the car, Sean told Norris, "Call Morocco and ask the senior executives of the investment company to come see me."

The reason why the government was asked to take the lead in doing this, how could Sean have no calculations.

The development strategy he set for Morocco included the textile industry, and this time he just enjoyed a wave of dividends.

The textile industry is backward in production capacity in the United States, but it is a treasure in Morocco!

In fact, Morocco is full of small heads here, and there is only a little more population there. How many skilled workers can it provide? If you die, you can't do a sheep city...

The real big head is still to the east.

Suddenly... When the Asian Investment Bank was formed, Sean told the rich Malays that they wanted to invest in Chinese, and it came true.

What is the transfer of backward production capacity?

OEM!

As soon as he returned, Xiao En called Shen Bi and explained the matter.

"Are you sure?" Shen Bi asked a little excitedly.

"There should be no problem. Many companies, including the home appliance manufacturing industry, are really on the verge of bankruptcy. They are also looking for a way out. Even other industries that can still support are also facing the problem of high labor costs." Xiao En explained: "It's just that building a factory overseas is really not as simple as saying a word, even with the support of the local government, the site, equipment, skilled workers, industrial standards, etc... a problem of upstream and downstream supporting enterprises can make them burnt out. "

"If the U.S. government came forward to help with coordination, it would be a different story. Issues such as taxation, fast-track customs clearance, etc., could all be perfectly resolved."

"Naturally, we have to intervene in this and become the official partner of this time." Sean explained, and then thought for a while and said: "Forget it, I'll go there, I have to talk to Dongbian about this in advance chat."

After hanging up the phone, Sean couldn't help but sigh with emotion, what a fucking toil!

It's easy for me to make two bucks!

...

Things are not just done, the preliminary inspection alone will take a long time, not all countries can provide so many skilled cattle and horses!

Looking at the whole world, only the east can provide cattle and horses in a long-term and stable manner.

Of course, Americans don't think so.

In Hong Kong Island and Sean's Beppu, a large number of shareholders of the Asian Investment Bank have come.

First, I visited Sean's mansion on Hong Kong Island, and then arranged a Hokkien banquet, which was full of wine and food, and then Sean talked about serious matters with everyone.

"People have different perceptions of the world. In the eyes of the absolute majority of American devils, Asia is synonymous with poverty and backwardness, especially in the east." Sean pouted and said, "They don't care about the east." My impressions all come from movies, and in the movies, the people in the east all wear braids and live in thatched houses.”

"So, I expect that although the government is taking the lead this time, things will not be so easy to achieve. Of course, this is not a bad thing for us."

Including Mr. Guo, a group of people looked at Xiao En with weird expressions. You, an American, are American devils if you open your mouth and shut your mouth. Why do you sound so awkward.

Before Xiao En came to Hong Kong Island, he asked Shen Bi to release the news to this group of people. When they heard that the backward production capacity was transferred from the United States to the east, these guys were all excited.

The reason why Malaysia has embarked on the fast track of development in the past ten years is that Japan has transferred a lot of backward production capacity to Malaysia.

But in 1980, the total Malay population was only 14 million, of which only 40% were Chinese.

There are still many Chinese who prefer to do small businesses, so the number of high-quality workers that can be provided is really limited. It is not impossible for Malays to make up for it, but the quantity and quality cannot be increased, so it will soon be saturated.

But even so, the horsepower economy has taken off, and a group of Malay rich people here have also enjoyed a big wave of dividends.

Now that they heard that Sean is cooperating with the U.S. government to transfer the backward production capacity in the U.S., they are naturally excited and don’t want it.

If it was said that when Sean took their wealth accumulated over hundreds of years and asked them to spend money to invest in the Asian Investment Bank, he still couldn't help but feel that he had no idea, but now he feels that this wave of money is crazy!
