Rebirth of England.

Chapter 641: The Road Paved with Money
"Aren't you going to attend the Open Handset Alliance conference in a couple of days?"

In the morning light, Ivanta sat on the edge of the bed and lowered her head to put on flesh-colored stockings.

From Barron's perspective, he could see her considerable curves...but he was simply admiring the view. After all, the two of them had just gone through a rather intense "morning exercise", and Barron was still in sage time.

"I won't go. You know, after I meet Ao Guanhai, I will go back to England..."

The so-called Open Handset Alliance is an alliance led by Android to promote the Android mobile phone operating system.

Currently, the number of members of this alliance has been increasing. At this conference, Android will also launch the latest Android version to counter the upgrade of the iOS system.

According to the information revealed so far, Google will officially launch their mobile operating system in January next year, but the specific name is still confidential at this time.

It can be said that this mobile phone operating system will compete directly with the Android system, and Apple’s iOS system will only be installed on the iPhone and does not need to compete with them for mobile phone manufacturers.

After saying goodbye to Ivanta, Barron left the manor and drove to the airport.

Next, he will travel to Illinois to meet with O'Neal, who just won the election.

In the U.S. presidential election that just concluded, Democratic candidate and Senator O'Kane from Illinois defeated his rival McCain with a ratio of 349:163 electoral votes and was elected the 44th President of the United States.

"Congratulations, Mr. Okuanhai, this is a great victory."

"Thank you for your support, Your Highness. I will devote my full efforts to serving the American people in the next four years."

Although he has been confirmed to be elected, O'Kane needs to wait until January 1 next year to take office, so he did not go to Washington at this time, but remained in Illinois.

It can be said that Ao Guanhai was in high spirits at this time. From the smile on his face, one can see his ambitious mood.

However, at the same time, given the current economic situation in the United States, Obama also understands that the first thing he needs to do after taking office in the future is to clean up the mess left by Bush Jr. and enable the American economy to recover from the subprime mortgage crisis as soon as possible.

Therefore, this time he took time out to meet with Barron, the capital tycoon. In addition to thanking him for his support in the election, the two talked most about the financial situation in the United States at that time, specifically, the subprime mortgage crisis.

It is worth mentioning that this American election is also the most expensive election in the United States so far.

According to statistics from the Federal Election Commission, the two candidates have spent nearly $15 billion in this election...

Among them, Ao Guanhai has obvious stronger "fundraising" ability, and his spending accounts for two-thirds of the total spending of the two candidates, which is close to 10 billion US dollars.

It can be said that Obama's road to becoming president was paved purely with dollars. In fact, Barron knew that in addition to the publicly traceable campaign funds that could be recognized by the Federal Election Commission, the funds filled in by other forms were several times more. For example, as a non-American citizen, Barron's investment in the Donkey Party, to which Obama belongs, was made through other "informal" forms of campaign funds.

Therefore, if all these funds are taken into account, the funds involved in this US election may be as high as 30-50 billion US dollars!
Ao Guanhai's gratitude to Barron, in addition to the financial investment he made, also includes the help from Sinclair Group's media and Woaw's biased push, which cannot be ignored.

"America needs to get out of the crisis as soon as possible so that the global economy can be stabilized. Your Excellency, the President, that requires more proactive economic policies..."

Although it will take nearly two months for Ao Guanhai to officially take office, Barron directly called him "the commander-in-chief". Ao Guanhai sitting opposite him just smiled and did not correct him.

As for what Barron calls “more aggressive economic policies”…

"I know that your funds have played a big role in stabilizing our finances, Your Highness. I am very grateful for this. In the future, I will definitely implement a series of measures to revive the economy. However, the specific plan still needs careful consideration before it can be worked out."

Although Obama has not yet taken office, Barron already knows the outline of his future economic policies. It will be no different from his previous life, that is, massive money printing...

Now, it seems that there is no better way. In fact, the "flooding" has already begun...

Otherwise, why does the US government always come up with bailout plans worth hundreds of billions of dollars? Where does the money come from? Isn’t it just by starting their printing presses?

This is also the reason why Barron has been buying continuously since the second half of this year.

With this round of the Federal Reserve's "flooding", the depreciation of the U.S. dollar is visible to the naked eye - of course, it seems that the U.S. dollar has not depreciated much relative to other currencies, and has even appreciated relative to the British pound and the euro. That is of course because other currencies have also begun to loosen their monetary policy accordingly.

After all, as the only global currency, if the US dollar starts to flood the market, other countries will have no choice but to follow suit, otherwise the consequence will be that their own country's wealth will be harvested in this way - of course, monetary flooding has advantages and disadvantages, and sometimes the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, but between the two evils, we can only choose the lesser of two evils.

Next, Barron will continue to make acquisitions and use up the funds he earned from the subprime mortgage crisis through various funds as soon as possible and convert them into various assets. Otherwise, these funds will only depreciate passively if they are kept in his hands.

In addition, Barron knew that if history had not changed much, the well-known BitC would have appeared. After all, in his previous life, it was said that the rather mysterious "Mr. Nakamoto" had worked in the banking industry. When he saw the government "saving the market" by arbitrarily expanding the issuance of US dollars during the subprime mortgage crisis, he questioned the centralized monetary policy and created the decentralized BitC with a fixed total of 2100 million pieces...

Of course, if Barron were an ordinary person, he might have participated in BitC when it first appeared, because there were very few people participating in "mining" and there had not been several rounds of halvings, so even the computing power of ordinary computers could produce rich outputs.

But for Barron now, even if BitC enters the mainstream vision in the future and more and more Wall Street capital participates, its total value is still far from gold, not to mention the current "barbaric" period, it is not worth his attention at all.

After all, he had no idea, nor any need, to directly control BitC. He could just let it develop slowly like in his previous life.

What can I say about the conspiracy theories surrounding BitC in the previous life... Conspiracy theories are often exaggerated, mysterious, and bizarre, but inevitably, they lack logic.
