Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 861 The Task of the Finance Minister

I didn't ask anything, since the trade protection policy can directly solve the US-Japan trade conflict, why doesn't the US do such stupid questions?
After Tang Guiyi made such a point, Carter's thoughts instantly became clearer!

The United States does not want to crush Japan
Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the giant bear in the Far East, the United States needed such a springboard as Japan. In the era of post-war reconstruction, the United States invested so much money and thought to help Japan recover.If Japan is killed directly, the United States will undoubtedly suffer a blood loss!
But we can't let the Japanese grow bigger and bigger, and even start to threaten the interests of the United States!

Hence, the present negotiation has begun!
To put it bluntly, this negotiation is a game of great powers, but to put it bluntly, it is a bit like a quarrel between young couples.
The United States does not want to kill Japan, and Japan does not want to completely offend the United States, the father of the funder.In addition to exporting goods and needing the American market, the Japanese are somewhat afraid of being sent to Siberia to dig potatoes.
Both parties don't want to break up, but both feel wronged!
The United States feels that you are asking too much from me, and Japan feels that we are a girl, what's wrong with taking something from you?Eat your two meals, what's the matter? !

Now Treasury Secretary Reagan walked away, more like saying to Japan: "If you don't promise me to eat less in the future, then break up! Come and see if you change to a penniless iron cock, will your life be comfortable?"

Japan, even psychologically understands that American boyfriends are not willing to part with themselves.But how much you have to weigh your own weight, is it that heavy?
The initiative has always been in the hands of the United States!

Um.
The script writing idea for the new TED talk show
Chatted with Tanguy from time to time along the way, but Carter, who spent more time thinking about his own problems, just thought about it all the way to the hotel where he stayed.

Then, because he stepped into the hall with his left foot first, he was called to Secretary Reagan's room
"Mr. Reagan?"

In sharp contrast to the image of the irascible old man at the venue, Treasury Secretary Reagan was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room.With his head lowered, his slightly aged palms supported his head, and his knuckles seemed to be pressing against his brain
Walking to the other side softly, Carter called out.
"Carter?! Sit down. Are you surprised to see me like this?"

"Some, it looks like you're tired right now."

"Yeah, there's another call from the White House. My old friend is a little anxious! He's a little dissatisfied with our progress."

There was a forced smile on Secretary Reagan's face:

"Speaking of which, this is part of the reason why you still have your kid."

"I?"

"It's you, if it weren't for your "Tucao Conference" program. People's discussions about the president's lack of economic achievements in the past three years may not be so enthusiastic. This public opinion puts a lot of pressure on the White House!"

"But I'm not"

Carterton was embarrassed.

One of the purposes of doing TED is to create momentum for Reagan in the public opinion and to create momentum for this meeting.Because Carter knows that as long as this stuff is negotiated, the US economy will surely usher in recovery!
To lay the groundwork in advance and tell Reagan's achievements is obviously flattering.result.
Judging from the current situation, my actions are more or less "backstab".
"Okay, okay, I know what you mean. Mr. Bush has already explained it to you, so you don't have to worry about them embarrassing you. It's just that the pressure I'm facing here is a bit heavy. Mr. President hopes that we can talk about it within a month. results."

"I'm afraid it's very difficult!"

Carter breathed a sigh of relief just now, and brought it up again.

Young couples quarrel, not young couples quarreling.Can also quarrel at the end of the bed, and at the head of the bed
This little couple quarrels, and it will bring you a "cold war" every now and then, it's normal for it to drag on for a few months!
Want to "make up" quickly.
Maybe there are only two ways: first, take the initiative to give in; second, force the other party to take the initiative to give in!

If the U.S. wants to recover its economy, it will definitely not be able to take the initiative to give in.That's the rest. Carter seemed to understand why Secretary Reagan was so irritable today, so he got up and left without saying a word.
"Yeah, it's hard! These Japanese are the most tolerant! No matter how much you scold or stimulate them, it's hard for them to have any mood swings. The pressure on the venue alone may not be enough. I asked you to come so"

"If you are free during this time, when you go to visit your Japanese friends, pretend to tell them some news unintentionally. I don't think I need to teach you how to do it. The general meaning is: the United States has Without the patience to negotiate slowly, the noise of trade protectionism is getting louder."

"If necessary, you can even arrange me. For example, as the general election is approaching, Mr. President urgently needs to make the US economy recover to win votes. He is very fond of me, the secretary of the Treasury, for my grinding negotiating work. Dissatisfied, thinking that before the general election, I can't achieve the situation he needs, and have the idea of ​​​​changing coaches, etc."

"I understand what you mean. When you are drinking and bragging with them, pretend to be unintentional, and pass on the information. This will make it appear more real."

"Well, that's right. Well, this time I came to you for this matter. You go first, don't worry about the school, I will write to your principal Giama to apply for exemption from the course. During this time, It's very important!"

"Mr. Sherman! Hahaha, I finally found you. Thank you for answering my questions today. May I make arrangements tonight?"

After coming out of Secretary Reagan's room, Carter found his "wingman"!
Perhaps, compared to the "American megaphone" that has already registered with the Japanese, it is easier for Tang Gui, a young man, to win their trust with his "mantras after drinking"?
"Huh? You don't need it. How much do you have for an intern every month? If you let you spend money, if this gets out, I'll be ashamed to see people in the future! Wait, I'll call some colleagues, let's work together Go, there are so many people!”

Tanguy's enthusiasm made it impossible for Carter to see that this was a scholar-type official who studied policy issues.But as soon as the other party spoke, Carter couldn't stop him, and he couldn't stop him either.
About half an hour later, unwilling to be lonely, a group of low-level officials from the Ministry of Finance who rarely came to the country left the hotel shoulder to shoulder.Taking off the serious suits, a group of young people in their twenties.

Many people are not even qualified to enter the venue, and they come here purely as fringe people to help with errands.For those major national events, the concern is really limited!

Traveling at public expense may be their biggest expectation for this trip!

However, the large number of people inevitably made Carter a little worried about what to do with the task assigned to him by Secretary Reagan.
I can't talk to them one by one, and have a unified caliber in private, right?That's too fake!In case there is any wine that is not good and drinks too much, let me tell you about my speech skills in advance. That guy, everyone knows that the United States is being cruel.
Mixing in the crowd, worrying while walking
At this moment of dilemma, Carter suddenly heard the voice of a dispute erupting in front of the team:
"Why don't you accept American guests?! You said that you don't accept foreign guests, and a European guy just went in!"
