Rebirth of the Evil Life

[Yao Nie Bar] Chapter 3608 You Must Believe in Me (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival) [Text Version]

Lin Feng frowned.

California's financial situation is not good, Lin Feng knows it. Lin Feng has invested so much in California and has such a good relationship with California Governor Schwarzenegger, so he naturally has to know something about California's situation. At present, the situation in California is not optimistic. No, it cannot be said to be optimistic, it should be said to be very pessimistic. Most Californians are not optimistic about California's prospects. Although California is the sixth largest economy in the world, the financial situation of the California government makes it difficult for everyone to have any expectations for it.

And this is why Schwarzenegger can become the governor of California. Without prospects, the state can only choose to believe in the emergence of a Hollywood hero. They hope that Schwarzenegger can kill all around like on the screen, leading Californians to open up a new world and a future.

Unfortunately, Schwarzenegger himself was disappointed. He did not expect California's financial situation to be so bad. To this end, he consulted many financial experts, but they did not have much substantive advice. Even if they occasionally made a few suggestions, most of them would hurt their bones and even lead to unpredictable future. Schwarzenegger did not dare to gamble recklessly, so he could only seek skills from Lin Feng. He hoped that this Chinese boy, who has always been known as a magician, could give him some insights.

"Governor, California's financial situation has a long history and many historical problems." Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

Schwarzenegger nodded. California's fiscal revenue is very high, much stronger than other states, but its expenditure is also high. After all, as the most prosperous state in the United States, prices are also relatively expensive. Moreover, in order to vigorously develop California in the past, some overly favorable corporate policies have been introduced. As a result, many companies have high profits but low taxes. In addition, many companies in California, especially many companies in Silicon Valley, have chosen tax avoidance methods permitted by law. These tax avoidance methods, although legal, are unethical. They exploit legal loopholes.

For example, Bill Gates, the president of Microsoft, established a foundation. Since the US law has many tax policy benefits for private charitable foundations, Bill Gates' annual tax payment is not even as much as an ordinary senior executive in his company. This is the case. The financial situation of California can be imagined.

Of course, in addition to taxes, there are also many huge investments in urban infrastructure. Schwarzenegger has wanted to use his Hollywood heroic spirit to transform California for more than three years, but he ended up with nothing.

What to do?

"Lin, tell me, what suggestions do you have? Speak out. Don't worry!" Schwarzenegger said expectantly.

Lin Feng pondered. He is really not an expert in this area. To be honest, Lin Feng is really not good at managing a state. Including managing a company, Lin Feng has always been a hands-off manager and never participated in actual management. But facing Schwarzenegger with an expectant face, Lin Feng really couldn't say that he was powerless.

"Lin, I am really on the verge of despair now. To be honest, I have to run for re-election this time." Schwarzenegger saw that Lin Feng did not speak. He thought Lin Feng was afraid of something, so he smiled bitterly and told the problem he was facing now. "After I took over, the California government's debt increased by 5 billion US dollars. If I step down, my reputation will be very bad, and the outside world will say that I am a bad politician. So, I have to run for re-election to change all this. But I also know that even if I am re-elected, I will have no way to deal with California's future debt, and it will only continue to deteriorate. And by then, what I will face is not just the title of a bad politician, but it will even affect my future political career. I originally planned to run for Congress after the governor of California left office. Unfortunately, now it seems that if California becomes a mess, I will not talk about being a congressman!" Lin Feng's heart tightened. I didn't expect that the situation Schwarzenegger was facing was so serious. And if Schwarzenegger stepped down and withdrew from the American political arena in the future, he would lose a helper in the United States. Although the restrictions of US law prevented Schwarzenegger, as the governor, from actually helping him, sometimes a little policy bias within the legal scope, or help in situations where it is possible to help or not, is enough to save Lin Feng a lot of trouble.

"Governor, regarding this issue, I think there are only two ways to start." Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

"Tell me about it!" Schwarzenegger's eyes lit up. Although Lin Feng has never managed any city or even a company, he is a very magical person, Schwarzenegger has always thought so. Perhaps he can help him create miracles.

"First, continue to improve your reputation and reputation; second, it is to expand California's fiscal revenue." Lin Feng said slowly.

Schwarzenegger pondered for a moment and did not say much. He knew that Lin Feng had more to say. At this time, all he had to do was listen, not express any opinions.

"Given California's current financial situation, it is not realistic to change its financial situation in a short period of time. California voters will definitely be disappointed in you. Therefore, you must improve your reputation and make voters always believe in you and believe that you have the potential to change California in the future. This is the most important thing!" said Lin Feng.

Schwarzenegger nodded slowly. This can be regarded as encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao. Since California's financial situation cannot be improved in the short term, we choose to make voters believe that they have the possibility to change the future situation. As long as voters believe that they have the potential to change California's destiny, they will not give up on themselves and will always believe in themselves.

"What to do?" Schwarzenegger asked.

"It's very simple, it's a matter of people's livelihood! Just make every Californian feel that they are the happiest in California." Lin Feng smiled slightly, "The United States is a country with a lot of guns. The gun problem has always troubled all American citizens. In particular, gun cases on campus occur from time to time, so we must try our best to prevent gun cases on campus from happening. In addition, we must increase our efforts to combat crime and reduce the crime rate for everyone. Everyone can live and work in peace and contentment.”

"This is not about increasing investment in police force. This..." Schwarzenegger frowned. The current financial situation in California is bad enough. If we continue to increase investment in the police, I'm afraid... the Congress will not agree. Of course, more importantly, the security in California is pretty good, which is the excuse for the congressmen's rejection.

"Governor, the problem of the proliferation of guns in the United States is very serious. This is especially true for many wealthy people. They do not want their personal safety to be threatened at any time. Therefore, you must control the crime rate as much as possible!" Lin Feng said seriously, "Although this will make California's financial situation extremely bad, I believe you can gain the support of voters. As long as California's finances can be turned around in the future, there will be no problem at all."

Schwarzenegger thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

"Lin, this is a desperate move!" Schwarzenegger smiled bitterly.

"Haha, of course, this is a bit of a gamble, but trust me, I definitely have a way for you to turn around California's finances!" Lin Feng chuckled.

"Really?" Schwarzenegger couldn't believe it.

"Of course, you have to believe me." Lin Feng's eyes were shining.

In two years, when the financial crisis breaks out, the subprime mortgage crisis detonated on Wall Street in New York will completely sweep the world. Historically, California also suffered heavy losses due to the financial crisis. This is why Schwarzenegger was eventually called a bad politician. But since this crisis will be detonated by himself, then he will let Schwarzenegger avoid being called a victim in this financial catastrophe.

During the 2008 financial crisis, even if Schwarzenegger could not completely reverse the situation in California, as long as California was not too involved, the outside world's comments on Schwarzenegger would rise to a higher level.

"Okay, I believe you, and I will try my best to promote police reform." Schwarzenegger said seriously.

Lin Feng chuckled. If Schwarzenegger believes in himself, that would be great. He believes in himself, and only then can the suggestions he puts forward be adopted, and only then can Schwarzenegger change his political image, which will also help him more in the future.

"As for turning around California's finances, there is only one thing: let more real economy enter California!" Lin Feng said solemnly, "Although the financial system is the most profitable and high-tech is the most gimmick, the backbone of a country is the real economy, and the same is true for California. So. California's Silicon Valley is indeed famous around the world, but the risks involved are also very high, and the employment rate in the high-tech industry is very low. Computers have replaced labor, but the real economy can reduce California's unemployment rate by several percentage points. . Therefore, vigorously developing the real economy, even if these real economies provide very little tax revenue, will reduce the number of unemployed people in California, and the government’s investment in the unemployed population will be greatly reduced." Lin Feng He said with a smile, “You know, unemployment benefits are also a huge expense!”

Schwarzenegger was slightly confused. In his opinion, more financial companies and high-tech companies would be in line with California's image and identity as the world's sixth largest economy. He really doesn't like the real economy. The investment is huge, the output is not big (compared to the financial industry and high technology), and it also has an impact on environmental damage. He has never cared much about the real economy. But Lin Feng said so, but he had to do it. After all, he has no more choices now.

"Of course, in addition to the real economy, there should also be greater investment in new energy. And I will invest in a new energy company in California with an annual output value of more than 10 billion US dollars!" Lin Feng showed his trump card.

This is what Lin Feng has been planning. It is also a weapon against the ‘G23’ in the future! New energy, if the world does not use oil, hey, that would be so interesting!
