Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 503 Carter's Tendency
"I should just keep learning"

Smoothing her hair from her temples, Melinda smiled.

"I don't know if you've told me, but I'm more interested in diplomatic work. But with my current level, it's not enough. I want to go to the Paris Ecole Normale Supérieur for some time. That's from a professor I respect very much. alma mater"

"Paris Ecole Normale Supérieure. I remember that they are better at science and engineering. Didn't you major in economics?"

"I just like that kind of environment, and their social sciences are not weak! In addition, after having this experience, I will have an advantage when I apply to be a student of Professor Loral Debreu. Besides , I don’t need a degree, and I don’t need to register at a partner institution, and I’m enough to study for about one year.”

Laural Debreu
This name feels a little familiar.
"Professor Debreu, is that the author of the equilibrium economic theory? I seem to have heard Professor Sterling introduce his ideas."

"That's right, he is a French-American who is now teaching at the University of California, Berkeley. I had the honor to communicate with him in an exchange event before. By the way, he has a high probability of winning the Nobel Prize in recent years." Oh~ Do you want to consider sponsoring me, a future Nobel laureate student?"

Carter has black hair, and Carter has a bad feeling from the beginning.After all, the prices in Paris have never been low, and even many French people call the prices in Paris "so expensive".
It's always like this, in this era of economic downturn.I want to study in Paris.
What family? !
Eat KFC without waiting for Crazy Thursday, right? !
"You really don't treat me as an outsider, let's not talk about whether Professor Debreu can win the Nobel Prize. Even if he can win it, he will win it this year, but you are not his student? How dare you put Take this as a condition and use it to talk to me?"

Complaining. Rather than complaining, it is better to say that after teasing, Carter's eyeballs rolled up.

Strictly speaking, Melinda is indeed a good investment object.

This girl may not be as good as those full scholarship students, or have a beautiful resume.But after contacting for more than half a year, the other party is not only very brilliant in handling various council affairs, but it is also considered to be in order.He is a capable person!

Coupled with some emotional factors, Carter actually doesn't mind subsidizing the other party's one-year studies in France.only.
"Hey, Melinda, have you considered... the direction? I think you want to major in economics now, and economics is also very important to diplomatic work. But, how do you join in?"

"I have an idea, would you consider going to China to develop? First go to my office there for a while, and then go through the political revolving door and enter the diplomatic field to work in economics and business. If you need to go to Georgetown University If you study at the Walsh Institute of International Relations, or anywhere else, I will also provide you with funding, what do you think?"

"It's okay if you don't say it. Once you said this, I remembered it. You seem to be very optimistic about China. This is not like a republican should behave~"

Melinda doesn't mind working for Carter.He is no stranger to the political revolving door that Carter said.

The political system of the United States is a very diverse system, such as the diplomatic field.Except for what people have often heard, the Secretary of State is considered to be an official in charge of American diplomacy and the president's foreign policy staff. It is difficult to say that he has no power.
The highest power in the diplomatic field has shown diversity.Going down, let alone. Full-time officials and appointment-based officials exist at the same time, technical officials and professional officials exist at the same time
The so-called ministerial-level administrative agencies, directly affiliated agencies, and independent agencies coexist. In the United States, there is basically no so-called system, because its administrative structure is not unified at all, so how can we talk about the system?
Many people who work on Wall Street can be transferred to the Ministry of Finance to find an official position through introduction; the same is true for diplomats, just like the former ambassador to China Woodcock
He is a typical example. Before he became the ambassador to China and visited China as Jimmy Carter's appointed representative, he had never worked in the official US diplomatic field at all.Even the auto union, strictly speaking, is a private union organization.

Therefore, Carter made a promise to Melinda: After working in Carter's foreign office for a few years and adding some overseas work experience, as long as Carter has enough influence or can recognize some key people, then Melinda will It is really not difficult to get into the official US diplomatic agency.

The only thing that needs to be questioned and worried is whether Carter can get the nomination qualification in the past few years
Including the one-year study at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris and the time of studying under Professor Debreu, and then working in the Chinese office.This time, at least six or seven years later.

Based on Melinda's understanding of Carter, it is not difficult for Carter to have this qualification in six or seven years.It's just that Melinda is very puzzled and worried about a problem: Carter's tendency
Carter's pro-China attitude is never concealed in daily chats.Anyone who knows a little bit about Carter basically knows this.

In the context of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, as well as the strategic needs of certain upper levels, the trend of public opinion is thus guided.At a time like 81 or 82, it was not a problem to express my pro-China attitude.

However, according to Melinda's observation.Although Carter has always regarded himself as a non-partisan, his tendency is actually somewhat focused on the Republican Party.
Whether it is his capital status, ROTC student status, or the people around him.After hearing and seeing, Carter fell to the Republican Party, which is reasonable and reasonable!
The question then arises: What is the general thinking among Republicans?
Just look at the extreme examples, such as the Ku Klux Klan, where white supremacy, other races, and skin colors are all heretics, and they all have to be burned at the stake, so you can get a glimpse of the mainstream ideological tendency in the Republican Party:

Anti-China, even against all people of color!
You have a high probability of being a Republican, and only the Republican Party is more in line with your interests.Are you against organizational thinking? !

This made Melinda a little uneasy.

In other words, in Melinda's view, the only possible problem with Carter is here.

"Who told you I was a Republican? Besides, there are so many Republicans, and everyone thinks differently. How I think is my business. They are not so small-minded that they can't tolerate other voices at all? If If that’s the case, then there’s no need to join this party.”

"But you can't deny one thing. Those who have the right to speak in the Republican Party are not as friendly towards China as you are. If you keep doing this, they may not help you. Then you."

"But there are people who will help me, right? Besides, I only believe in one thing, benefits! If I can bring benefits to them, no matter what my inclination is, pro-China? I am pro-ET, and they will all be willing to help me. If I can't bring them benefits, so even if I go to advocate white supremacy with a clear banner now, it's useless."

"The more ignorant you are, the more you will take these things seriously. In this world, the only constant core is interest! This is true between people, between parties, between countries, and even more so between countries! If you don't believe me, Just look at Harrison in Arkansas"

"That is the stronghold of the Ku Klux Klan. If it can gain strong support from the Republican Party through extreme xenophobia, why is it still so poor?"
