Chapter 919 Personal Press Conference

Washington, USA.

Time comes Friday, April 26th.

In the White House briefing room, since it was caught in the whirlpool of the Paula Jones case, Bill Clinton has reduced the number of personal press conferences he personally hosted, which is the first time in the past two months.

Because the timing is good.

Today, I will definitely not be asked by reporters to question Kenneth Starr what has been revealed, or whether the single veto power he just obtained some time ago involves unconstitutionality.

The number of times the president personally presides over a personal press conference is determined by the individual based on the agenda and there is no mandatory regulation.

However, Clinton is a person who is very good at marketing his personal public image and is very clear that there are many benefits to maintaining direct contact with the media properly. In the first two years of taking office, Clinton basically maintained a very stable frequency of hosting personal press conferences every month, but it has only been more than a year since it has to reduce it to about once every two months.

Amid the sound of the shutter, the first Washington Post reporter who was clicked asked an expected question, just as Clinton imagined: "Mr. President, how do you evaluate Simon Westeros' visit to China this week?"

Clinton showed a long-standing friendly smile and said certainly: "This is a very great business visit. The exchange between Simon and China will bring economic cooperation between China and the United States to a new stage. Moreover, this will be a win-win situation. The federal stock market growth in the past week is the most direct proof."

Very routine answer.

The reporters in the audience thought so, and the second reporter stood up, and the question was no longer so friendly: "Mr. President, do you think this is reasonable in China's hospitality with the etiquette of receiving the head of state?"

The reporter said something, and many people kept paying close attention to the possible micro-expressions on Clinton's face without blinking.

Unfortunately, everyone was destined to be disappointed, and the President's expression was still impeccable: "China has indeed received Simon with very high standards. I think this is the right thing to do with Simon's achievements. Moreover, everyone is actually very clear that compared with the official state visits, the differences are still very obvious. I hope everyone will not deliberately mislead the public."

"Mr. President, do you currently have a plan to visit China? If so, will your team visiting China exceed Simon Westeros?"

"No, my first term has been focusing on restoring the federal domestic economy. If possible, I hope I will visit China during my second term," Clinton said, smiling, saying: "As for the size of the visiting team, considering the interests of taxpayers, I will choose the way to save money as much as possible."

"Mr. President, it is rumored that Simon Westeros will spend $12 million on this visit to China. Do you think this is an extravagant waste that should be condemned?"

"I don't think there are so many, and, I don't understand where you get the data, it's inconvenient to comment."

In fact, everyone knows that this is a small provocation.

Simon's visit is so large that it will definitely cost a lot of money. However, because it was an official invitation from China, who paid the expenses is very sarcastic. Although someone is rich, he is not a sucker. Moreover, if a visit to Simon Westeros can bring such help to the national economy, let alone $12 million, it is worth it to increase ten times.

Another reporter stood up and was still rude: "Mr. President, will Westeros' visit prompt Washington to speed up negotiations on WTO accession with China?"

"No," Clinton shook his head decisively, saying: "At present, our negotiations with China on joining the World Trade Organization are still in its infancy. The Federation will be very cautious about this negotiation so as to absolutely ensure the interests of the American people."

"So, Mr. President, China's accession to the WTO is a foregone conclusion. The question is just the specific terms of the contract?"

"A country like China with a population of 1.2 billion and a huge market, joining WTO is beneficial to the whole world. I am looking forward to introducing China to join on the premise of protecting the interests of WTO member states, but I have to say that this is not a foregone conclusion. Everything depends on whether China shows enough sincerity."

"Mr. President, how do you view the impact of the Westeros effect on the stock markets of Asian countries?"

Clinton changed his face to a perfectly joking smile, but his words did not leave: "I noticed this since a few years ago, which is very interesting. But to be honest, I think this is an overreaction to the market. East and South Asian countries have always been long-term partners of the federal government, and their economic development is very good."

The topic of Simon's trip to China lasted for more than half an hour, and all the questions that reporters should ask were answered. When they noticed that someone was starting to lead in a less pleasing direction, Clinton decisively declared the end of the press conference.

Leaving the White House briefing room, a white house intern with a short hair and a little plump figure came over and handed a copy of the information to Clinton, saying, "Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, is waiting for you in the Oval Office."

Clinton nodded, took advantage of the opportunity when the girl approached her, grabbed a handful behind the other party, and whispered: "Let me find dinner later."

The intern subconsciously glanced behind him, and the other two White House staff followed out of the briefing room together, but they all felt as if they didn't see the expression of Mr. President just now. Then they felt relieved, and said softly, followed Clinton and walked towards the Oval Office.

The intern named Monica Lewinsky handed over Clinton's latest support rating survey.

Clinton was so dedicated that he lowered his head and read it while walking, and quickly sorted out whether there were any mistakes in his answer at the press conference.

The results are all satisfactory.

Especially the support rating figures on the report.

Kenneth Starr's investigation into the Paula Jones case not only failed to hit his approval rating, but even played a counter-effect. It has reached a high of 61.5%. With such an approval rating, as long as there is no big accident, it is almost a foregone conclusion.

Re-election is also the primary issue that Bill Clinton has considered since this year.

Everything else has to stand aside.

On the other hand, the report in hand is actually an online survey from Igret Company.

Unlike the errors in restricted sampling of entities surveyed companies, the report is very accurate. Clinton also knows that the Westeros system regularly provides itself with these inhumane documents, which is actually a reminder.

At the personal press conference just now, Clinton always performed very well.

However, it is impossible if you don’t have the envy or even jealousy of the young man in your heart. However, Clinton’s strong psychological quality can resolve these negative emotions.

Because it doesn't make sense to understand.

If it cannot be resolved or even evolved into actual actions, it will only cause trouble for him.

From a country's bottom-level white garbage posthumous to the federal president, Clinton, one of the most powerful people in the world, has gone far less relaxed than the outside world imagined. His distinct goal-oriented personality also makes him understand what he needs and doesn't need, so he will not accumulate these meaningless emotions.

Clinton knew that the only thing he had to do was to continue his power to the greatest extent.

First is the second term.

Then, like the Bush family, the Clinton family was built into a prosperous political wealthy family.

To do this, he must unite all resources that can be used.

As long as Simon Westeros can support him in getting re-election, and the follow-up, there will be no problem.

As for the wealth and power that the young man had at this time, it might be useless to envy and think too much, and even make people feel powerless.

When he arrived at the Oval Office, Vice President Al Gore stood up and greeted Clinton. When he saw the black-haired intern who was following him, he frowned slightly without any trace. After the other party brought coffee to the two, there were only two people left. Gore said bluntly: "Bill, I have someone recommend the girl to the Ministry of Defense just now. What do you think?"

Clinton just picked up the coffee and took a sip. He heard this and just gave a slight meal, and nodded quickly: "No problem."

Even Gore was concerned about this matter. Clinton realized that it was time for him to let go, otherwise it would have been possible to bring unpredictable consequences. Therefore, although he was a little uncomfortable with Gore's straightforwardness, he still agreed.

Seeing Clinton agreeing, Al Gore nodded, and did not say anything more. He turned to the topic and talked about today's topic with Clinton.

It is still related to Simon indirectly.

As of yesterday's closing, the Nasdaq index has reached 3697 points.

Last time, all parties jointly dispelled Simon Westero's plan to suppress the Nasdaq index, but now, the Nasdaq's rise is really out of control. The increase in two months has exceeded 10%. If this continues, if the Nasdaq fails to support the election at the end of the year, it may be a big trouble.

However, the two discussed for more than ten minutes without any clues.

I can't help but remember that Simon Westero's slow share reduction strategy was actually correct more than two months ago. However, there are some things that everyone knows are correct, but they are difficult to implement because of the general trend.

Now the entire Wall Street has fallen into madness. To be honest, the means they can use are definitely no more than Simon Westeros, nor will they be more clever.

The most direct way is to push the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates as Westeros suggested at the beginning of the year.

Then what?

Rate hikes are a double-edged sword to chase unstable conditions.

If you don’t pay attention, you will completely expose the new technology bubble. In this case, it’s better to bet on a gamble that Nasdaq can last through November.

After a moment of helplessness, Gore looked at Clinton: "Where is Simon now?"

Clinton also shook his head: "I don't know, but it must be some beautiful place in China."

"Maybe, you should take the time to call him."

Clinton hesitated a little and nodded: "I will contact him as soon as possible."

In fact, I also understand that this call is not asking someone for advice, because the other party has already made suggestions to them, but not only has not been adopted, but has ruined the plan that someone has taken on his own. Therefore, this call is more accurate, just asking for peace of mind and hope that someone can tell them that Nasdaq can last until the end of the election.

Yangshuo, China.

Inside the courtyard on the top of the Dongling Mountain on the other side of the county town.

It was still morning on the east coast of the United States, but late at night on China.

In the past few days, Simon and Janet left the brigade, quietly climbed the Great Wall on Wednesday, and turned to see the Terracotta Warriors on Thursday. After all, in China, these iconic attractions are indispensable. On Friday, this afternoon, we arrived at the small town of Yangshuo on the banks of the Li River in southern Guilin.

In the evening, he stood in amazement on the terrace of the villa on the mountain top to watch the strange peaks standing around him. Even though he was born in a wealthy family and traveled everywhere since childhood, Janet was still shocked by the creation of heaven and earth in front of him.

Guilin has the best scenery in the world and is well-known.

I was very excited to enjoy the scenery until the sun sets, and tasted the carefully prepared food here. I also talked to Simon about the weekend plans. I was pestering Simon about the recent reading of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". After all, I couldn't stand it late and just fell asleep.

The whole trip was a comfortable private jet, and Simon's physical fitness was much better than Janet, but he was not sleepy at this time.

Janet, who was huddled in her arms like a cat, stopped murmuring until the woman stopped murmuring, then looked through the last few pages of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" under the desk lamp on the bedside table, while sorting out the recent events.

After the two-day trip, Simon has actually been paying attention to the follow-up feedback on this matter.

Except for Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries, where stock markets are chaotic, there is no other unexpected situation, which is the best.

As long as this week passes, everything will be settled.

After all, Simon has never forgotten some of the potential risks that this visit may bring, whether political or economic. Therefore, not only is this visit very large on the surface, but in private, the Westeros family has also invested a huge amount of investment in the operation of the public opinion level.

Simon's goal is also the result of this visit eventually forming a "win-win" result.

After a while, the woman in her arms arched again and hummed a few times, as if she was dissatisfied. Simon smiled, put down the book, reached out to turn off the lights.

Apricot blossoms and spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

When I woke up the next day, there were no apricot blossoms or spring rain, but there was the beautiful scenery of the mountains in the mist in the spring of Yangshuo City.

This is also Jiangnan.

On the terrace overlooking the town on the other side of the Li River, Janet wore the Hanfu that he had just sent in the morning, which had a unique charm and forced Simon to change his set, which was all very light blue, with the cufflinks and the opposite clasp with just the right hand-embroidery, in a cotton style, which can withstand the coldness of the morning mist in the mountains.

Have breakfast together on the terrace.

Chen Qing, who also changed into a water-green Hanfu, knelt down next to the short table, chatting and laughing. The girl has been very pleased with Janet recently, and even Simon has to admire her versatility.
