"You want to make it clear to voters that you're not running around with a big gun every day, that's just a movie scene. In real life, you're a gun control policy, you're a peace-loving, harmonious people of society."
"You have to tell voters that you value family, you like children, and children are the future of a family and a country, so you will not cut education spending!"
"You have to tell the voters that California belongs to everyone, and its rise and fall are inseparable from each of them. Therefore, to reduce the financial crisis in California, you need the strength of each of them!"
"You have to tell them that California now owes more than 300 billion dollars, and the global economy is in a recession, and you have just taken over this job. Ask them to be patient and give you enough time. Because you are not a movie The omnipotent superhero in the movie, like them, you are a person of flesh and blood, you also have to eat and sleep, you also have to reunite with your family, you also get sick, and you get tired!"
Fang Mingyuan said one by one, Schwarzenegger's eyes became brighter the more he listened, and he quickly found a pen and notebook to record them. Some of Fang Mingyuan's suggestions had already been thought of by them, but some they had neglected.
When Fang Mingyuan stopped, Schwarzenegger read his record again with joy, and frowned slightly. Fang Mingyuan's suggestions.It is indeed useful, it can help him gain the approval of more voters, and it can help him stabilize the situation after becoming the governor of California.Buying time, but there are no concrete recommendations to implement if it really boosts the California economy.
Of course Fang Mingyuan could see what was on Schwarzenegger's mind, he patted Schwarzenegger's arm with a smile and said: "Arnold, I can only give you a general direction on how to promote the economic development of California. Guidance, how to do it specifically. Hehe, to be honest, in California. I can help you directly, not much.” The industries under the Fang family, in addition to those companies that secretly hold shares, are Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Kuok Shipping Group have relatively close economic ties with California.those other industries.To be honest, America is more developed.It is not an easy task to promote the development of tourism between the two countries. Obtaining a US visa, even a tourist visa, is a lot of trouble.Schwarzenegger took a deep breath, and he also understood that Fang Mingyuan's words were not just perfunctory.Accelerating California's economic growth will require significant investment.The need for more exports cannot be decided in a short time.
"I hope California can get out of the predicament under your leadership. I also hope that we can have more cooperation in the future, and that California and Qinxi Province can also have more cooperation!" Fang Mingyuan looked at his table and said, "Maybe inadvertently Opportunities will come in time. I have an appointment with James, do you want to go with me?"
"Fang, thank you for your suggestion!" Schwarzenegger said sincerely, "I have something to do later, so I won't go with you."
Fang Mingyuan stood up, hesitated for a moment and said: "Arnold, after you become the governor of California, remember that the biggest enemy is the state assembly and yourself, I hope you can remember your original goal of running for the governor of California. And, if you can, get tax cuts."
Fang Mingyuan got into the car, and the car drove out of Schwarzenegger's house very quickly.
"What's the matter? Did you have a bad conversation with Arnold?" Uda Guangli approached in surprise. She was chatting with Schwarzenegger's wife in the garden just now, and did not participate in the meeting between Fang Mingyuan and Schwarzenegger.
"No, no, it was a pleasant conversation." Fang Mingyuan shook his head and said, "But, Arnold, I have created a big trouble for my future."
Although he said that he supports Schwarzenegger's election for the governor of California, this is mainly considered from two aspects. One is from the perspective of the Fang family. Schwarzenegger becomes the governor of California, and the future development of the Fang family Definitely a positive boost.The other is that he knows that this is what Schwarzenegger himself sincerely expects, so he tries his best to promote this result.
However, if we look at it from a friend's point of view, Schwarzenegger's running for governor of California is a huge challenge.
Although California is the largest economic state in the United States, to be honest, California's current economic prospects are not so optimistic.Schwarzenegger wants to improve the financial situation of California, which can be said to be a very difficult thing.As the saying goes, freezing three feet does not happen in a day.There are also a series of reasons for the current situation in California.It is difficult, really difficult to reverse this situation in one or two terms of governorship!
In the United States, if the government wants to increase taxes, it will be subject to various adverse restrictions. It is absolutely impossible for the people to raise taxes obediently with a single order from the government.Moreover, according to the statistics of the Americans themselves, California's corporate tax ranks No. 40 in the United States, which is the fifth from the bottom, while its neighboring Oregon ranks ninth, and Nevada ranks third!Its environmental protection requirements are the most stringent in the United States, and the oil price is naturally among the highest in the United States. The electrical industry cannot compete with counterparts in other states. Such high operating costs naturally cause many investors to avoid California, and it is Some large enterprises in the state will also migrate to other states for development.
And its personal income tax ranks sixth in the country, and its neighbor Nevada does not collect personal income tax!This has also caused many local talents to leave their hometowns.
That's why Fang Mingyuan suggested that he consider tax cuts. Only after tax cuts will more investors come to California, more businesses will be established, and more talents will be able to find jobs.California's economy may resume its upward trajectory.
"Big trouble, didn't you always support him to run for governor of California?" Uda Guangli said with wide-eyed eyes.She has a good relationship with Schwarzenegger. During his stay in the United States, Schwarzenegger took good care of her in many ways.
Fang Mingyuan nodded speechlessly. In his previous life, after Schwarzenegger became governor of California, the state legislature controlled by the Democrats rejected his proposals many times. It is almost a big fight, and some bills and the two parties intentionally or unintentionally submit these issues to a referendum in order to achieve their own goals. Of course, voters oppose any tax increase, and approve any increase in welfare.The result is that income has not increased much, but expenditure has continued to increase.
Therefore, today he reminded Schwarzenegger that it is best to make it clear from the beginning that in order to solve the financial crisis, the government will not increase taxes, but it will definitely not increase benefits.Anyway, it is very difficult to increase taxes in California. During Schwarzenegger's tenure for many years in his previous life, he did not succeed in a few bills, but passed a lot of bills to increase benefits.
If it is said that Schwarzenegger can truly understand his intentions, at least Fang Mingyuan believes that his official career in this life will go more smoothly.
Fang Mingyuan put his arms around her waist and said: "This is Arnold's own choice, how can I keep pouring cold water on him. After he is elected, hehe, just arguing with the parliament will be a headache." Yu Tian Guangli opened her mouth in surprise. She has been in Hollywood for so long, of course she knows that California is the territory of the Democratic Party. Even if Schwarzenegger succeeds in becoming the governor, the state assembly is still in the hands of the Democratic Party.The state legislature in California is not a human-shaped stamp. Without its cooperation, even if the governor wants to raise the salary of civil servants by one dollar, it is impossible to succeed!
Uda Guangli leaned on Fang Mingyuan's body, sighed softly and said, "Although I don't know the economic situation in California, I also know that the economy in California is obviously sluggish."
Fang Mingyuan smiled bitterly. He also read a lot of information about California, and finally concluded that the reason why California has fallen to this point can be described as success or failure. Before the 90s of last century, California was The aerospace industry and the military industry are the leading industries in the state. McDonnell Douglas and Lockheed Corporation, located in California at that time, were the two largest aerospace companies in the United States at that time, and they were also the arms dealers in the United States.The procurement of arms from the Ministry of Defense and countries around the world has made their lives extremely nourishing, and they have driven many supporting companies in California, which has given California's economy a strong engine.
However, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States began to drastically reduce military expenditures. Naturally, these two companies fell into a situation where they could not make ends meet, and their supporting companies were even more difficult.McDonnell Douglas was absorbed by Boeing until Lockheed merged with Martin Corporation.But no one thought that although the aerospace and military industries were in decline, the strong electronic technology foundation formed by the military industry in California made the IT industry emerge in California and led a generation of industrial revolutions worldwide.As the birthplace of the IT industry and the most concentrated area of wealth, California's finances are naturally rising, with huge fiscal revenue every year, and the welfare of Californians is naturally getting better and better, but the good times don't last long... The Internet economy bubble burst!The Nasdaq Composite Crashes!
After the dot-com bubble burst, California's finances suddenly fell into a situation where it couldn't make ends meet! (To be continued..)
