Chapter 669: Disappointed Francis!

"It's really as mysterious as you said? This car production is not a joke. It requires years of experience and technical accumulation. Tianhao Group is just a new arrival. How can the cars produced be so sophisticated?" Harding still couldn't believe Francis' words and asked quietly.

Seeing that Harding had always not believed in himself, Francis was anxious. He picked up the remote control on the coffee table and turned on the big TV in Harding's office. On the TV, a famous American TV station was doing a special topic about Tianhao Auto. The picture shows the model of Tianhao Group shining at this China Auto Show. Seeing the cool car that subverted the traditional design concept and was so beautiful that it was dazzling. The commentator used his magnetic voice to explain Tianhao Auto's technical advantages to the fullest, Harding and Levins were finally moved, and his face was full of surprise.

"Mr. President, have you seen it? This is the car produced by Tianhao Group. Compared with their cars, our cars are simply toys and garbage! Let me tell you a more creepy data. At the exhibition at the China Auto Show yesterday, in just one day, Tianhao Group received orders of tens of billions of dollars, of which nearly 50% were from our United States. What does this mean? It means that as soon as Tianhao Group entered the historical stage of the automobile industry, it had already won nearly 30% of our local market in the United States! And this trend is still deteriorating. As Tianhao Group's production capacity continues to improve, the orders they can complete will surely increase, and the share of the US market they invaded will inevitably increase. One day, Tianhao Group will dominate the global automobile market. At that time, we, General Motors and the king of the automobile field, will probably only have the share of carrying shoes for people!" Francis said anxiously.

"I don't understand. GM has raised so many top experts in the automotive field. What do they do for? How could the people from Tianhao Group think of it, but why would they not think of it?" Harding couldn't help but scold Francis with anger and said.

"Mr. President, this is not my fault! These new technologies launched by Tianhao Group are not something that our current technological level can achieve! According to the evaluation of experts from our General Group, Tianhao Group's technical level is at least fifty years ahead of us, or even more!"

"Is it so exaggerated?" Harding seemed a little disbelief.

"Well! Our experts even doubt that Tianhao Group has captured some alien creatures with a highly technological civilization, otherwise their technology would not have reached such a high level." Francis nodded heavily and said.

His words just hit Harding's mind. Why Harding is a firm supporter of China's threat theory is because of its eye-catching performance in recent years. It has the seeds of perfect genes, the magical technology that turns the desert into a thousand miles of fertile fields, and the mysterious base in Takramagan, etc., all of these made Harding feel incredible. Even within the American ruling level, there are quite a few people who believe that China has established some unknown connection with alien life through some unknown method. This argument sounds absurd at first glance, but it is the best explanation at the moment. Why, while China's technological level has always lagged behind the United States, suddenly emerged and left the United States far behind. And as time goes by, this argument is being recognized by more and more people.

Harding frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How do you think we should deal with the crazy expansion of Tianhao Group in the world's automobile industry?"

Francis said in a deep voice, "The government immediately formulates a series of policies to strictly restrict the import of Chinese cars, especially Tianhao Automobile, to keep them out of the United States' national gates. Only by working hard to protect the local American market can we have a chance to breathe, vigorously develop automotive technology, and counterattack, and gradually recover lost ground around the world! If we can't even maintain the local American market, then our Tianhao Group will be helpless!"

"You mean, let me set up trade barriers between China and the United States' automobile trade?" Harding asked with a frown.

"Mr. President, this is the only way at present! Tianhao Group has begun to swallow our market crazily. If this is not the case, we will have no chance at all." Francis persuaded urgently.

"But have you ever thought about it? If we do this, China will probably do this to counter us! At that time, Tianhao Auto will not be able to enter, but your automobile industry will not be able to sell it to China!" Harding said.

Francis smiled bitterly and said quietly, "Mr. President, I'm going to say that even if China opens its doors and invites us in, under the strong advantages of Tianhao Group Automobile, we will not gain any advantage in the Chinese market. Therefore, setting up trade barriers in the automobile trade between the two countries will not suffer any loss to our American automobile industry!"

"Hardin, you have to think twice! At this critical moment, taking such measures is undoubtedly a provocation to the Chinese government, which will directly affect your election!" Levins reminded Harding on the side.

Levins' words also reminded Francis. Francis was too anxious and forgot this problem for a moment and said hurriedly, "Mr. President, you know, our General Group has always supported you, and this time is no exception! I will go back now, promote a budget, and spend 100 million US dollars to support your election!" Money plays a very important role in the US election, so every presidential candidate will pay attention to attracting financial tycoons like Francis, and Francis is even more familiar with this and is very good at it.

However, this time, Francis overestimated the power of money. Harding was not touched by 100 million US dollars. After pondering for a moment, Harding said quietly, "Francis, this matter is related to the relationship between China and the United States. I have to think carefully, you go back first!"

After hearing Harding's words, Francis was very disappointed and couldn't help but say, "Mr. President, if 100 million US dollars is not enough, then 200 million. As long as you agree to promote such a decision, the money will be transferred to your campaign committee's accounts immediately!"

Harding couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice, "Francis, you have to figure it out. Now it is the US government. General Group is holding General Group. The mobilization of every cent of the GM Group is not up to you, but the US government. If you don't have this point yet, I think you really have to go back and take a cold shower and be awake!

"Mr. President, it is precisely because the US government is now the real owner of General Group that I remind you that you must pass the resolution to restrict Tianhao Auto from importing the United States as soon as possible. Otherwise, when General Group is squeezed out by Tianhao Group, the biggest loss is the US government. Not only me, Francis!" Francis said in a deep voice with a serious face.

"You don't need to remind me of this! You can go out!" Harding shouted with a bad face.

Francis took a long breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said quietly, "I hope Mr. President can think clearly and answer me soon!" After that, he turned around and walked out of the president's office.

As soon as Francis left, Harding immediately slapped the table and shouted, "What a rogue! Did you hear that? He is actually threatening me!"

Levins sneered and said, "I think he's crazy!"

"GM Group is becoming less and less prosperous. It was once the glory and pride of our American manufacturing and industry, but now it is the biggest burden of the US government. If I had known this would be the case, I would not have listened to him and acquired shares of GM Group!" Harding said angrily with regret.

"I bought it all, what's the use of being upset now?" In fact, Levins disagreed with Harding's allocation of funds from the national finances and purchasing General Shares, but unfortunately he couldn't resist Harding at that time.

"Levins, what should we do now? Should we listen to Francis's opinion and restrict Chinese automobile imports to the United States?" Harding asked.

"Of course there is no limit! You adopt such a policy at this time, not to mention what will happen to the Chinese government, the Chinese Federation will be the first to jump out to oppose you!" Levins shook his head and said.

"What should I do? Francis's mixed ball is right. General Group collapsed. The unlucky thing is our US government. In order to acquire the bad shares of General Group, I used a fiscal budget of over 100 billion US dollars. If the money cannot be collected, I will definitely become the eternal sinner of the United States. By that time, I think I will take the initiative to launch the election myself!" Harding said worriedly.

Levins smiled and said, "Mr. President, I think you were frightened by Francis' exaggeration! Things are not as bad as you imagined! The US market is so big, and Tianhao Group's production capacity is simply impossible to meet the entire US market. At least until Tianhao Group's production capacity expands to a large enough level, it will not threaten the survival of General Group."

"You mean, let this go beforehand?" Harding asked Levins.

Levins nodded and said, "There is priority for the matter! Nothing can hinder your election now! Let General Group wait. After the election is over, after you are successfully re-election as president, you will take a series of measures to restrict Tianhao Group. It is not too late to save General Group's survival crisis!"

Harding thought for a while and said, "There is only this now! Let Francis wait! It's just a chance to let him understand that I, Harding, are the president of the whole United States, not the president of him alone!"

Levins stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I'll prepare a bill to promote the increase in bank loan interest rates and temporarily suppress the housing prices in the United States!"

"Okay! I'll convince Republicans to pass this resolution in the Senate!" Harding said.

Levins smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You don't have to worry about those congressmen. Hong Tao's China Federation will do it! You should visit several major real estate giants in the United States. Please understand your difficulties and hope they will temporarily give up their immediate interests and support you!"

"I'm not worried about those real estate developers! In the past few years since I took office, I have helped them make a lot of money! I think they are more eager than anyone else to be re-elected as president, so that they can continue to make money!" Harding smiled and said confidently.

"That's the best!" After saying that, Levins turned around and walked out.

China M City. Tonight's M City is more lively than ever! Among the 100 hotels distributed throughout the city, 6,000 brothers from the Lightning Gang were arranged to hold celebrations here. Many local people, the owners of the Parkway Shopping Building, and celebrities from all walks of life in M ​​City were also invited by Scar to drink happily.

Tonight, the night sky of M City is particularly colorful, with countless brightly colored fireworks blooming freely in the night sky. Laughing and joy are rising and falling, covering M City.

In the suburbs of M City, Wu Jingtong's military camp was also in a joyous and lively atmosphere, with more than a dozen trucks transporting mountains of ingredients and beer. Hundreds of chefs in the entire military camp were desperately waving their swords and shovels to cook various delicacies, preparing to welcome such a carnival night.

In the largest hotel in M ​​City, Dao Scar, Mu Ping, Wu Jingtong, Dai Hu, Liu Jiangsheng, Han Sanping, Luo Rongrong, Sang Longhao and his wife all took their seats, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Wu Jingtong could not resist Scar's insistence and was pushed to the head of the head by Scar, who was closely accompanying Scar.

"Hahaha... Deputy Master Wu Xi, aren't we going to know each other without fighting?" Scar raised his wine glass and said to Wu Jingtong with a smile.

Since Wu Jingtong became the deputy leader Xi, he has rarely drunk alcohol, but today he has become abnormal and refuses everyone, and is very generous! Even Dai Hu wants to drink for him, he refuses it.

He wiped the wine stains on his lips, waved his hand and said, "Forget it! Why don't it! Hahaha... Scar, these tricks I have with you in City M have impressed me! You kid, you really have a good idea! Being able to rule such a big Lightning Gang is indeed not a futile reputation!" Wu Jingtong's eyes did not hide his appreciation for Scar at all, which was impossible before.

Scar smiled and said, "But this ginger is still spicy! And Deputy Master Wu Xi, you are particularly spicy! Very good. Someone who is at your age and can live so passionately. Scar is really impressed!"

After hearing this, Wu Jingtong said proudly, "Our generation has experienced countless sports and fought countless battles. That is the passionate generation! It cannot be beaten, cannot be beaten, cannot be burned, cannot be crushed, cannot be crushed, it is like what the book says, it is a loud copper pea!"
