Chapter 1811 Dangerous move of soldiers!
"Hong Tao!?" Harding shouted in surprise, "But he told me that as long as I pass the proposal to suppress housing prices, the overseas Chinese in M can afford a house, he will support me in the election. Could it be that he will go back on his word? "Why not! Politics is like this, one scam comes with another. Besides, is he really asking you to suppress housing prices for overseas Chinese in M? As far as I know, a securities company under Hong Tao has seized huge profits from this crisis. This is clearly a conspiracy set up by Hong Tao against you! They not only made profits from the stock market, but also suppressed your prestige and supported McKinley!" Levins snorted coldly.
"What a Hong Tao! It's so hateful! I'll settle the score with him now!" Harding stood up suddenly and shouted angrily.
Levins shook his head and said, "You go and ask him now, how could he admit it? He is not stupid!
"At least I can warn him that if he helps McKinley to cause trouble for me, I will be polite to him and his China Federation! After all, this is the territory of our country M, and he can't help but do whatever he wants!" Harding shouted.
"Haha, everything has two sides. If Hong Tao is really helping McKinley, it will certainly be a bad side for us, but it is also a great opportunity for us! Now with the rise of China, the Chinese threat theory has begun to rise in our country. Haven't many people already proposed to you to curb the China Exhibition? That means that among the people of M, the Chinese threat theory has also had a considerable market! If Hong Tao is really helping McKinley, then we can give McKinley a hat of being a puppet in the Chinese people. At that time, it will definitely arouse the disgust of the people of M country towards McKinley. By that time, McKinley's support rate will definitely plummet! We can even take the opportunity to deal with the difficulties of the Chinese Federation, accusing them of manipulating the general election of M country and disbanding them in one fell swoop with the support of the people of M country. Isn't this a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?" Levins said with a sneer.
Levins' words suddenly reminded Harding, and his joy spread out on Harding's face like a wave and finally turned into ecstasy. He laughed and said, "Doesn't that mean McKinley is actually digging his own grave now? Levins nodded and said, "In theory, that's right! But if Hong Tao really wants to help McKinley win the election, he will definitely not be too arrogant! It's not easy to find their evidence!
"Yes! The Chinese Federation's style of conduct has always been mysterious. I tried to seize their handle several times, but I got nothing! It is not easy to find evidence of his collusion with McKinley! Levins, do you have a way?" Harding placed all his hopes on Levins.
Levins smiled and said, "I have no choice, but someone may be able to help us?" He said, "Who is he? Tell me!" Hardingmon asked anxiously.
"The former agent of District 61, now Hong Tao's girlfriend - Manli!" Levins said word by word.
"Manli? She is indeed a very suitable candidate, but she is Hong Tao's girlfriend now, how could she be willing to help us?" Harding asked with a dissatisfaction.
"If you tell her the truth, she will certainly not help us! But if we use a little trick, it will be different! Leave this to me, and I will let her help us willingly!" Levins said with a cunning smile on his face.
Harding laughed haha, "God, what should I do if I didn't have you by my side? Hahahaha." As if he had mastered the magic weapon to win, Harding relaxed like never before. The devastating defeat yesterday's debate today's collapse and the stock market plummeted. It seemed that he had never had any past.
"Mr. President, Francis wants to see you!"
"He? What's going to happen if he comes to me at this time?" Harding subconsciously turned his head to look at Levins and asked.
Levins said, "You will know if you let him in?" Harding said to the secretary, "Let him in!"
After a while, Francis hurriedly walked in and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. President's stock market today? Why did the subprime mortgage crisis suddenly explode? Seeing Francis' anxious look on his face, Harding asked faintly: "Why, General Motors' stock price also plummeted? Francis shook his head and said, "General Motors must have fallen miserably some time ago, but now it's a drop! However, seeing how severe the stock market is, it may soon affect other sectors. Not to mention the stock market, just talk about reality, financial stocks are falling sharply, banks are constantly going bankrupt, and the economy continues to be sluggish. Maybe it won't take long to drive cars. At that time, the impact of General Motors will be fatal.
Harding shook his head and said, "Francis, you think too much! Our economy is not as fragile as you imagined. At the beginning of the last century, when other countries didn't even have bicycles, our people were already driving cars everywhere. At that time, the people of M countries could afford cars, and they would definitely drive in the future! You don't have to worship people and worry about the sky here.
Francis nodded and said, "I have a lot of confidence after listening to Mr. President.
Harding sneered and asked, "Francis, you came to see me today, not just to express your concerns about our country's economic situation to me, right? Francis laughed dryly and murmured, "It's really impossible to hide anything from your eyes from the President. It's not bad at all! I've come this time to have another purpose.
"Then let's talk about it quickly! You know the current situation. I don't have much time to chat with you!" Harding said in a deep voice.
Francis hurriedly nodded and said, "That's right. A few days ago, I asked the President to issue a special decree to prohibit the cars produced by Longhao Group from entering the M country market, but he was rejected by you. When I went back, I thought it was a bit inappropriate to do so! If it caused a trade war between the two countries, it would be more than worth the loss.
Harding smiled faintly and said, "You finally figured it out? It's not easy!
Francis nodded awkwardly and said, "Yes! I am just a businessman, and my eyes are bound to be limited. Of course, I can't see it thoroughly than Mr. President!" Francis' current identity and status are no longer as good as before, and even General Motors is not his. He has no choice but to learn to flatter and flatter, which is really forced. Thinking about his former presence, he had the largest company in the world. How glory was, how could he use to be as humble as he is now.
"Okay, okay, don't say these flattery words. Just tell me what you are going to do!" Harding waved his hand.
Francis cleared his throat and said, "That's right. Although it is inappropriate to directly ban Longhao Group's cars from entering the M country market, if the cars produced by Longhao Group are allowed to capture the M country market, it will undoubtedly cause a fatal blow to the country's automobile industry. Therefore, it is still very necessary to prevent Longhao Group from shaking down the M country automobile industry. After several days of meditation, I finally came up with an idea, which is to use international antitrust laws to deal with Longhao Group.
"Anti-monopoly law?" Harding frowned and asked in a daze.
"That's right! The reason why Longhao Group's cars are so popular is because they monopolize advanced technology. We can use the antitrust law as a basis to require them to disclose all technical information. If Longhao Group does not do it, we can use this as an excuse to impose sanctions on them and prohibit their cars from entering the M country market. Now the island countries and Europe have begun to take action. I think, can our M country follow up? Francis Road.
Harding turned to look at Levins and asked, "Levins, do you think Francis's method is feasible? Levins pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "It is feasible in theory! But Chinese people will definitely find a way to fight back. It is hard to say whether they can achieve our goals!
Francis hurriedly said: "Mr. President, since it is theoretically feasible, we have no reason not to try it. Besides, antitrust demands like this are very common in the international community. Although they will cause dissatisfaction from China, they will not affect your election.
"Levins, what do you think?" Harding once again turned his eyes to Levins, which made Francis suddenly shock his heart, and he realized that he had always ignored Levins, an important figure. He secretly scolded himself for not being so careless!
"Since both the island countries and Europe have taken similar actions, I think we can participate! After all, protecting our country's automobile industry is also the responsibility of our government!" Levins nodded and said.
"Mr. Levins, you are indeed wise! Hahaha," Francis hurriedly gave Levins a thumbs up and said with a pleasing voice.
Levins smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are wise or not, I just talk about the matter!"
Since Levins had spoken, Harding no longer hesitated and said to Francis: "Francis, I am busy with the election now and can't take care of so much. Go back and have someone draft a draft, and I will ask the relevant departments to follow up!
"No problem! Thank you Mr. President! I will not hinder your election! Haha" Finally, there was a way to check and balance the Longhao Group. Francis was very excited, and he just wanted to lie down and kiss Harding's toes, and said repeatedly.
