Chapter 284
Jonathan finished his heated speech and looked around, except for Steven, who nodded frequently in agreement, everyone else was silent, they were either playing with the cigar in their hands or leisurely twirling the red wine in their glasses, but no one spoke.
Jonathan sneered in his heart, secretly cursing these people for their shamelessness and greed, but said with a straight face:
"Dear members of parliament, our National Institute of Standards and Technology, out of our approval of the political views of your parliamentarians and admiration for your noble character, is willing to donate a sum of money to the election committee of each member, and invite gentlemen to bring your family members to visit our research institutions around the world at a convenient time."
"At the same time, we have several high-tech companies, such as DMA and Yinweida, who lack senior managers in macroeconomics and corporate strategic management, and specially entrusted me to take this opportunity to make a request to the parliamentarians to help recommend some suitable talents!"
"They only need to contribute to the company's major decisions, not get bogged down in the day-to-day affairs of the company. They offer satisfactory remuneration packages for these positions, and have prepared quite generous stock options, and will not be slow to wait for the talents recommended by gentlemen! "
The benefits are open, and it is still a package, both campaign sponsorship funds, but also reasonable and legal enjoyment of cost-free travel abroad, and according to general practice, overseas, these companies will also provide a large "travel subsidy", and even according to their requirements, deposit into a designated overseas account, not to mention those positions offered at the end, a proper pie!
What "advises the company's major decisions" and what "does not need to get bogged down in redundant affairs", these parliamentarians are very familiar with these words, which are simply one sentence: "Don't work, just get money!" Moreover
, the salary package is only hundreds of thousands of knives at most, are small money, that is, to maintain daily living expenses, what really impresses them is the so-called "stock subscription right", which means that they can get stocks at a very cheap price, and then hold them for about a year to sell, easily get a large amount of investment income, as little as tens of millions, as much as hundreds of millions of knives!
Jonathan offered such a "sincere" price, so these parliamentarians are not moved, so, they have changed people, began to actively help out with advice, their ideas, although a move is more vicious than a move, but are the beautiful country "hunting" the island country semiconductor industry of the successful routine, there is no new move....
Jonathan unconsciously showed a hint of disappointment on his face, and his eyes looked at Steven, who was sitting in the middle.
Steven coughed lightly, interrupting the members' impassioned speeches....
Steven Lewis, as Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee with great authority on Capitol Hill and vice chairman of the Senate Campaign Committee of the Donkey Party, is an Ivy League who has been in the politics of a beautiful country for decades, not only has deep connections in both political and business circles, but also has an extremely powerful interest group hidden behind him!
Unlike the Elephant Party lawmakers, who are happy to approach energy groups, military-industrial complexes and traditional conglomerates, the Donkey Party's general stance is to control gun violence, oppose tax cuts for the fossil fuel industry, support environmentalism, oppose unilateralism, oppose state subsidies and intervention in the economy, advocate economic globalization, and so on.
The proposition of the donkey party has been favored by high-tech and emerging network industry capital in the past ten years. Therefore, Steven, as one of the leading figures of the Donkey Party, has the full support of these powerful companies. With the support of these companies' huge financial resources, Steven rose from an unknown congressman to the distinguished chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which can be described as powerful, becoming the mainstay of the donkey party and a mediating force that cannot be ignored in the Senate.
However, what Steven said next was unexpected by everyone at the scene!
Steven gently shook the wine glass in his hand and said lightly:
"Gentlemen, your opinions are very good, very valuable for reference, these measures you proposed, historically, are very effective, once helped our country completely crush the island country's semiconductor industry, completely castrate it, and can never pose a threat to the beautiful country!"
"However, what we are facing now is not the Gallic country and the island country, but the dragon country, and Zhonghai Guangke Technology is not comparable to those slope enterprises in the island country, this enterprise has established a new chip architecture from scratch in obscurity, completely getting rid of the dependence on previous patent rights and technologies, so that we have no way to start!" Therefore, the original tricks against the island countries will not work at all now.
"Gentlemen, the Dragon Kingdom we are facing is a behemoth, so now our country must take unprecedented and decisive action to completely change all this!"
"We initially intend to start from both internal and external aspects!"
"Internally, we plan to introduce a series of national subsidy policies and promote relevant legislation to give high financial subsidies to relevant industries in China to help them be invincible in global competition!"
"Regarding this legislative motion, I have privately consulted many government officials and members of the Senate and House of Representatives, and the overwhelming majority of them have expressed support!"
"I have great confidence in the smooth introduction of this bill, and whoever dares to oppose this bill will be an agent and supporter of the Dragon Kingdom, and will be criticized by both parties!"
The congressmen looked at Steven, who was talking, and felt a little incredible!
The interest group behind Steven, how much money is this? Let Steven, who has always been staunch against state subsidies and government intervention in the economy, like a different person, spare no effort to implement the policies he had vigorously opposed before!
The parliamentarians present all regretted it in their hearts:
they were sloppy!
The promise was too cheerful, and I failed to win greater benefits!
Looking at this situation, the wealthy interest group behind Steven must have promised him great benefits, which drove this stubborn conservative to become an interventionist, for their interests, personally engaged in it, completely disregarding his previous conservative image!
Although politicians suddenly change their positions because of interests, it is nothing new in a beautiful country, but a donkey party leader like Steven suddenly changed his order, and he really caught everyone off guard!
In a beautiful country known for its conservatism, this major change in position is undoubtedly a complete betrayal and harm to the party, this infinitely close to the idea of the elephant party, and may even lead to the internal division of the donkey party, although Steven raised the banner of "political correctness" to suppress the voice of opposition, but harm is harm, not not on the surface, without saying it!
Steven is completely crazy for profit!
In order to repay the financial owner behind his scenes, in order to fight for his own interests and political resources, he completely disregarded the assertion of the donkey party!
The donkey party's midterm elections will surely be miserable because of Steven's willfulness...
Steven saw everyone's consternation, no matter how thick his skin was, he was a little embarrassed, but as a veteran of politics, this unnatural expression on his face was only fleeting, and then he said with no different face:
"Domestic subsidies are only temporary policies to help beautiful countries regain their dominant position in cutting-edge manufacturing, and the subsidy period will definitely not exceed five years, I believe that five years is enough time for us to defeat the Dragon Kingdom!"
"In addition, we will take a series of measures in terms of external operations, the most important of which is to replace the seemingly clever fool of the current C.A.I. Director John Rodriguez and put my friend, the wise and courageous Mr. Tony Campbell, back at the helm of C.A.I!"
"John has caused trouble several times, and even his most important supporter, the vice chairman of the Intelligence Council, has had enough of this guy's stupidity and incompetence and has completely abandoned him, and this is the perfect time for Tony to return!"
"Gentlemen, let us abandon our prejudices and take a long-term view, internal subsidies are only a last resort, external actions are the most important, we welcome the returning Director Tony, to express his views and action plans!"
Obviously, Tony knew the news in advance, and at this moment, when he heard Steven's official announcement, he did not have a surprised expression, but stood up solemnly, bowed slightly to everyone to thank him, and then sat down, pondered for a while, and slowly said:
"Dear Senators, Mr. Jonathan, thank you very much for your trust in me!"
"After withdrawing from the position of C.A.I., despite the opposition of many friends, I did not accept the generous position offered by the think tank, but insisted on going to Hode as a senior partner, which caused many friends to be puzzled and misunderstood, thinking that I was already discouraged and had no intention of participating in public affairs!"
"But that's not the case! During my time at Hodd, I was mainly responsible for analyzing client profiles to help the firm identify key regions, industries and key client groups in the future.
"You may think that accounting firms are just intermediaries that provide professional accounting services, in fact, accounting firms can grasp a large number of core trade secrets of clients through detailed and thorough audits, tax reviews, due diligence and other work!"
"It can be said that a good accounting firm knows the company even better than the owner of the audited company!"
"Gentlemen, this is all valuable business intelligence, and accounting firms are naturally commercial espionage agencies! Moreover, because the auditors are very professional and sensitive, accounting firms are several times more efficient than C.A.I. in collecting and analyzing business intelligence
" "This is the main reason why I insist on going to Hode CPA!"
"Due to the authority of Hode Firm, about 60% of its clients come from Asia, and about 65% of them are from the Dragon Mainland, which allows me to observe the development of the Dragon Kingdom from a more intuitive perspective!"
"After half a year of observation and analysis, I have come to a conclusion!"
"Gentlemen, we have met a real opponent, if we can't defeat the Dragon Kingdom in the next ten to twenty years, then it must be us who lose!"
"Moreover, once the beautiful country loses in this competition, it will not even have a chance to become the second most powerful country in the world, it will only become a second-rate country, and even more depravity is possible!"
"Gentlemen, I am not grandstanding or alarmist, there is a perfect logical derivation process behind it!"
"For example, as a beautiful country with the largest economy, the GDP size is about 1.33 times that of the Dragon Country, but the size of the debt is nearly three times that of the Dragon Country!"
"The wealth of the beautiful country is concentrated in stocks, debts, trust funds and various financial products, while the wealth of the dragon country is concentrated in various public infrastructure and fixed asset projects."
"In the past twenty years, beautiful countries have borrowed money to spend, borrow to start wars, and even owe large amounts of debt, just to be able to save the country from the abyss of financial crisis!"
"On the other hand, in the Dragon Kingdom, they borrowed money to build roads and bridges, built the world's first highway and high-speed rail network, built countless airports, subways and overpasses, borrowed to build cities and villages, and improved all kinds of infrastructure, including schools and hospitals!"
"Gentlemen, even if all of the Dragon Kingdom's debts cannot be repaid, they still have a large number of public goods and fixed assets, and what about us? If the debts of the beautiful country cannot be repaid, what do we have left?
"Therefore, I very much agree with Mr. Steven's proposal to provide subsidies for related industries by the state, but I think Steven's proposal is too conservative and moderate, and we should let go and extend this policy to more industries in our country!"
"I even made further suggestions to Steven, that is, to comprehensively learn from the Dragon Kingdom and vigorously carry out infrastructure and fixed asset investment!"
"Maybe my views were too radical and didn't have Steven's support, but I stuck to my ideas."
"Fellow parliamentarians, our previous experience in dealing with other countries is simply unable to defeat the Dragon Kingdom!"
"The Dragon Kingdom is very different from other countries: first of all, the Dragon Kingdom has a huge domestic market, which can completely achieve internal circulation;"
"Secondly, the Dragon Country has a complete industrial system, with 41 industrial categories, 207 industrial intermediate categories, and 666 industrial sub-categories counted by the United Nations, and the Dragon Country is complete!"
"Third, the Dragon Kingdom has independent political, diplomatic, economic and military capabilities, and is completely independent of any country."
"Fourth, the Dragon Kingdom has a unique civilization system and national character, with extraordinary resilience and cohesion!"
"However, even so, I still maintain confidence in defeating the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Because, there are many advantages of beautiful countries, such as we have the world's most powerful military force, the largest spy agency, and the most powerful alliance!"
"In the future, if I can successfully return to C.A.I, I will make full use of all resources and take necessary actions by any means!"
"Mr. Jonathan, I very much agree with your views on television a few days ago, but your statement that you publicly called for the arrest and extradition of those concerned was too reckless and prematurely exposed the objectives of our operation."
"Incredible changes are taking place in the Zhonghai region of the Dragon Kingdom, and the root of all this is related to a young man, his name is Kong Bai, and he has a nickname, called the Demon King, the King of the Devil!"
"According to reliable sources, this technology that makes us extremely passive is the work of this person!"
"If it were me, I would highly appreciate the contribution of the scientists of the Dragon Country to the technological progress of mankind, and actively invite them to participate in the technical forums held in our country or our allies, as long as he is willing to come, things will be easy..."
"Also, we should award the Turing Award to this Dragon Countryman, and try to promote him himself to receive the award, as the second Dragon Countryman to receive this award, I think this young man may be vain, And enjoy receiving the highest honor in the field of computing in person!
"In addition, there are a large number of experts and scholars who have received Western education in the Dragon Kingdom, and there are many people who maintain a good relationship with us, and we will actively encourage them to participate in Kong Bai's research and development work, on the one hand, they can provide us with first-hand information and intelligence, on the other hand, they can also let us grasp his movements!"
"Gentlemen, there are many more means we can take, the current advantage is still on our side, our actions should be more flexible, more concealed and deceitful, only in this way we do not have to force our children to learn esoteric and difficult Chinese..."
