Chapter 788: Two requirements

Bloomberg yelled: "Isn't it because of the idiot Donald Arp? A series of political views during his campaign were in the interests of the'middle-and-low-level people'. When he came to power, he found that none of these roads worked. Now, this racial conflict is, in the final analysis, a conflict between the poor and the middle class. He now dares not to offend the middle class at all, nor does he dare to offend voters for supporting white people. He can only hold back like a tortoise. And really. The conflict problem continues to worsen, and the lives of all middle-class and above people in the Star-Stripe Nation will be affected. At that time, the entire Star-Stripe Nation will be over! Xiao, you must not say anything to you, you must know that the Chinese in the Star-Stripe Nation , Most of them are middle class! They are not black people. They have received food stamps for a few lifetimes. If their lives are ruined, can you guarantee that they will not return to China?"
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Bloomberg said: "I just hope you don't do anything. Uh, it doesn't seem to be realistic either. You just need to make a public speech and say something like calling for abandoning hatred and peaceful resolution."
Xiao Peng nodded: "Then what can I get?"
Xiao Peng understands what Bloomberg said. In the final analysis, it is still the word benefit. If the Stars and Stripes are in chaos, it doesn't matter to the poor. Anyway, he would get food stamps. Where can he get worse? You can't squeeze oil out of a stone. But the impact on the middle class and the rich is huge. That's what they didn't want to see, so they came to persuade themselves.
Bloomberg asked, "What do you want?"
"Michael, can you agree to my terms on behalf of the Stars and Stripes?" Xiao Peng asked with a smile.
Bloomberg said: "I will have a way to persuade Conard, Xiao, believe me, I may not be able to do it alone, but this time, I am not representing my own interests, and Kenneth. Kenneth He will come because it represents the common needs of all Kenneth customers. He came on behalf of his customers' interests."
Damn, Kenneth is the president of American Express. All of his clients are the top rich, OK? We must know that the star-stripe countries have the most unequal income among developed countries. The twenty richest people here have more assets than half of the entire country’s population combined. The combined wealth of American Express’ customers may account for more than 90% of the national economy.
Xiao Peng thought for a while and raised two fingers: "I only have two requests. The Stars and Stripes countries open up free trade and receive refugees from the Middle East."
Kenneth was drinking whiskey, and after hearing Xiao Peng's words, he choked badly. Bloomberg was also shocked: "Xiao, are you kidding me? You don't fight for your own welfare? Your two requirements have nothing to do with you, right? Free trade I still understand. What is the relationship between Middle Eastern refugees and you? "
It's rather nonsense. After he came to power, he first started with trade. In his eyes, international trade should be beneficial to employment in the Star-Tangled countries. The so-called fair trade should not be free trade, and the imports of other countries should be increased. Taxes force Star-Tiao State enterprises to transfer employment opportunities to the mainland, which is a typical local trade protectionism.
To give a simple example, he once asked the Kent Group of Stars and Stripes to open a factory to produce bicycles ‘Made in Stars and Stripes’, hoping to boycott ‘Made in China’ bicycles.
You know, last year alone, 18 million bicycles made by China were sold to the Stars and Stripes!
Apu took a look, this is no good! This is all money and job opportunities, so I found Kent Group.
After all, three generations of the Kamler family, the owners of the Kent Group, have been in the bicycle industry for more than 50 years. They have been asked to produce bicycles with professional counterparts. And given the Kent Group a series of preferential policies, so the ambitious Kent Group's bicycle production line was grandly started in Manning.
For the Kent Group’s reopening of the bicycle factory, the Star-Spangled State media spoke highly of it, and Forbes Magazine cheered even more, saying that the Callum family brought manufacturing work back to the Star-Spangled State! Callum also expressed confidence that the new bicycle production line has solved more than one hundred employment problems, and is confident that the annual output will exceed one million!
But the truth of the matter is that since 26 years ago, the Carter Group has no longer produced bicycles. Instead, it has transformed into a pure agent dealer, selling bicycles imported from China in the Stars and Stripes! As soon as this new factory opened, the Kent Group encountered big troubles: For a long time, Star-Stripe Countries had almost no experience in producing bicycles, and all the parts and components needed to be imported from Asian countries!
Now the CEO of Kent Group got anxious, crying every day to ask Arp not to raise tariffs on Huaxia products. Otherwise, employment opportunities will increase, but local manufacturing companies in the Star-Stripe Country like Kent will suffer.
The Kamler family was the first to firmly support the imposition of high import tariffs on the bicycle industry, just like the European Union, which imposed an ultra-high tariff of 48.9% on China Bicycles! After doing so, the price of Huaxia bicycles in the European market is about one-third more expensive than that of Star-Stripe Countries. The Callum family’s imported bicycles can make more money on the grounds of higher tariffs.
But when it was his turn to produce himself, he was directly dumbfounded: he ignored the fact that so many countries in the European Union, from Bulgaria, Romania to Portugal and Hungary, still have bicycle manufacturing industries, but what about the Stars and Stripes? After more than 20 years of impact from China Bicycles, except for a few high-end brands with very small output, the Star Stripe country has basically lost its ability to mass produce bicycles. It takes about forty parts to make a bicycle, and all local manufacturers in Star-Tangled Country cannot meet the supply of any one part.
It's all right now. I originally wanted to save money, but now I spend more money. In the current Stars and Stripes, Arp launched the '301 Clause' to force a trade war with China.
The so-called "Article 301" gives the president of the Star-Spangled countries the power to unilaterally impose tariffs or other trade restrictions, and emphasizes the protection of domestic industries from the harm of other countries' "unreasonable or unfair trade practices". Since the establishment of the World Trade Organization in 1995, the "Article 301" has actually been abandoned. As a result, Arp took it out again, adding obstacles to people all over the world.
Everyone with a discerning eye knows that if unilateral sanctions are really imposed on China, the losses of the Stars and Stripes will definitely be greater than that of China. If this is done, Star Stripe Nation may have to accept higher prices of imported goods than before, and it will be more difficult for Star Stripe Nation to sell agricultural products, airplanes, automobiles and other commodities in China, and it will be more difficult for China Xia to find new suppliers. It is much easier for China to find new consumers. Moreover, higher tariffs also mean increased pressure on the lives of ordinary people.
With this fuss, Arp is very likely to become the fourth president to be impeached in the history of the United States, and very likely to become the first president to be impeached. Because this girl is so awesome, it hurts the interests of all classes in the Star Stripe nation in one go. If the president can do this, he is the only one who is scorpion shit. If Apu can be re-elected as president for two consecutive terms, the Stars and Stripes will properly become the second largest country in the world!
Of course, Apu did this not because he was stupid, but because he was smart. Raising the tax rate will become an early thing. In the short term, many business activities will be carried out before the tariff increase. This will cause a short-term GDP increase and an increase in the employment rate. This will make his position solid and win the re-election campaign, but how long can it last? Not necessarily.
As for the trouble he caused? Please, whether he will survive until the end of his term is not certain. Let the people behind get the headache. . . . . .
What's more, he is smarter, which is to make enemies for the country. Nothing can improve national cohesion more than a hostile country.
It's a pity that he picked the wrong opponent-he found China in the trade war.
These measures of raising tariffs are very direct to the lives of the people of Star Stripes-greatly increasing people's cost of living. But what about Chinese people? It is certain that related companies will be affected, but with the state's price regulation, the lives of ordinary people have little impact.
It is said that there is no winner in the trade war, but China is definitely the last laugh.
As for the refugee issue. Hoho, that's a better understanding, you can wipe your by yourself. Those Middle Eastern refugees are responsible for those who made these refugees. Don’t you not accept refugees? Now add a pair of refugees to you. Do it yourself.
Xiao Peng spread his hands: "I can earn the money by myself. Besides, when the money reaches a certain amount, it is just a number. Since you said that I want to deal with this matter for the sake of the people, then I will mention these two for the people. A request. Can you do it?"
Bloomberg and Kenneth looked at each other, lost in thought.
free trade? It doesn't matter, it will not affect their income. On the contrary, they will make more. Because of the lower tariffs, their costs will also be reduced. They also support this, they don't want to be a fool like the Kent Group.
But open to accept refugees? Damn, how does Nima accept this? Isn’t that planting a bomb in your yard?
Their consistent policy is "control kills, do not bury them," no matter how much trouble they cause in the world, as long as the money is made. It never accepts refugees. What if these people get into trouble in the Star Stripe country? After all, there is no star-stripe country nor these refugees-the star-stripe country still knows itself.
These things have nothing to do with Xiao Peng! Bloomberg and Kenneth had imagined many demands that Xiao Peng might make. To be precise, they even prepared compensation, but they never thought he would make such demands! They really want to ask Xiao Peng what he thinks!
In fact, Xiao Peng's idea is also very simple: You want to reconcile, don't you? Then use your most uncomfortable way to reconcile! Otherwise you don’t know it hurts!
