Bill Gates didn't give much money, only 50 million US dollars. Other American rich people didn't give that much money. For example, the stock god Buffett was relatively generous, only giving 150 million US dollars. ¡ê¡Ø, but overall, there are not many wealthy people participating. Jia Hongjian and the others already had good connections on the West Coast of the United States. They had already blended into the local celebrity circle, and they were doing well. Therefore, under such a situation, the rich people on the West Coast contributed a lot of money. First of all, Jia Hongjian¡¯s base on the West Coast is still in a performing arts center like Los Angeles, so many directors, producers, and even actors, no matter how many, have done something wrong. Some offer millions, some offer hundreds of thousands, etc. That¡¯s all there. Under the leadership of these people, San Francisco, which is about 6 hours drive from Los Angeles, has a large number of upstarts in technology. Next to San Francisco is Silicon Valley!
After various technology upstarts near the San Francisco Bay Area have also "invested", the next step is Seattle, the home base of Microsoft. In addition to Microsoft, Seattle also has the famous American Boeing Company. This is why when the NBA still had a team in Seattle, the name of the team was the Seattle SuperSonics. Of course it was the SuperSonics! And Boeing not only makes civilian aircraft such as the Boeing 747, they are also a very important aerospace contractor and provider for the United States. Take the World War II period as an example, such as the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, the B-29 bomber, and even the classic B-52 Stratofortress bomber, which were all produced by Boeing!
In addition to these bombers, Boeing also made fighter jets during the war! Later, because the war was over, we saw more and more aircraft being used in the civilian market. That's why Boeing entered the field of civil aircraft. At the same time, after the war, after the United States obtained the German missile designs and the corresponding engineers and scientists, Boeing also began to study missiles, rockets and other things. Later, when the United States began to compete with the Soviet Union to explore space, Boeing That is also a great display of power. First of all, they are NASA, the largest contractor of NASA. For example, NASA's aircraft for weightless training is a Boeing aircraft transformed into a large aircraft that looks like a passenger plane. The interior has been specially modified. After flying to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, it begins to rapidly descend as planned. This descent directly allows the astronauts preparing for training in the cabin to directly experience the zero gravity in space! The whole person can float in the air!
Although Boeing didn¡¯t give much money, the rich people in Microsoft still gave some. For example, Uncle Ballmer, who is Microsoft's current EO and was selected by Bill Gates as the successor to the future president of Microsoft, will be the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers in the future. That would be worth 100 million US dollars. Donations. In addition to these rich people on the West Coast, Obama's stronghold is on the East Coast. Obama studied at Columbia University when he was in college, and although the name of Columbia University sounds like a drug-infested country in South America. But in fact, the name of this university is to commemorate Columbus, the discoverer of America! In Western languages, Colombia is just a derivative of Columbus with certain modifications to the end of the word. Just like America and the United States, "America" ??is also a derivative of the Italian expedition that first discovered the American coastline. Home American Am¨¦rigo. Later, the ending of Am¨¦rigo was modified and became America!
And such a Columbia University is in New York! Obama had been hanging out in New York for several years. Although he didn't know many rich people in society at that time, he knew a lot of alumni and so on! And among those alumni back then, how many of them are not among the best now? With the help and referrals from these people. In addition, Obama himself is now one of the candidates for the US President. It will of course be much easier for him to come here to find "donations"! So it was just in New York, where he had only stayed for a few years. That¡¯s a total of $300 million in small money from the wealthy class! In addition, Chicago, Obama¡¯s main battleground after graduation, is also the third largest city in the United States, second only to New York and Los Angeles! Obama has so many connections in Chicago! From Chicago, he raised more than $500 million in charity!
By this time, on the East Coast alone, Obama has acquired $800 million! In addition, Jia Hongjian obtained nearly 1 billion US dollars on the West Coast. Seeing that Jia Hongjian hasn¡¯t even invested the money yet, US$2 billion has already come out! Suddenly, classmate Obama had a new feeling and emotion. It seemed that if he could become president, it would be okay if he did not rely on congressional funding! It feels quite simple to raise funds privately or something like that! Now he is not the president yet, he is just a presidential candidate of a party. You can make 800 million US dollars by brushing your face.A lot of donations, and this is just north of the East Coast! If he becomes the president in the future, he can go to places like Miami and wander around the southern part of the East Coast. Will he still be able to earn 1 billion on the East Coast? Add in the money from the West Coast and other Midwestern cities. Not to mention too much, it¡¯s not difficult to make a total of 3 billion US dollars, right? And since then, it seems that US$3 billion is almost enough to implement such a job relief plan?
That¡¯s right! In general national plans, the amount of money for any plan can range from tens to hundreds of billions. Of course, this level of money cannot be raised by the president and private fundraising. Obama himself knows that things like health care reform are dependent on Congress, and cannot be accomplished with donations from wealthy individuals. Only such an employment plan can allow rich people to donate money relatively generously. On the one hand, the employment plan has no impact on the rich, and it will not affect other people's financial paths! And plans like medical insurance reform may really affect the jobs of some wealthy people! Can people still donate money?
¡°As for this employment plan, on the one hand, it does not rob the rice bowls of any vested interests, and at the same time, it does not rob any social resources. Overall, it can be considered that it is good for everyone. Of course the rich are willing to donate money. Anyway, in order to reduce taxes and avoid taxes, they donate some money every year. Since they donate to anyone, why can't they donate to the potential future president of the United States? Even if Obama cannot succeed in the election this time, Obama will definitely try again in four years, and he will try again in eight years. So, there is nothing wrong with knowing such a politician who is constantly attacking the presidential throne? Isn¡¯t this also a connection?
In addition, for example, the plan developed by Jia Hongjian and the Obama team can be almost completed with only three billion US dollars in the initial stage. After all, the unemployment situation in the United States is not serious yet, and Jia Hongjian¡¯s plan is to deal with the most in the early stage. Just 10% unemployment. At the same time, their plan does not mean that all unemployed people will find jobs 100%. Please, Jia Hongjian is not an American nanny! When we were in China, we encountered massive layoffs. We should try our best to provide every household with a way out, but we are not Americans, so why are we so dedicated to the United States? What does Jia Hongjian want from such a plan? What you want is reputation, what you want is control of votes! This means that it is enough for us to help 10,000 people out of 500,000 people. Even 10,000 people are not needed because word of mouth will spread!
Similarly, Obama and his team do not really want to completely solve the unemployment situation in the United States. Although Obama still has some of the youthfulness and idealism of a newbie in politics, idealism does not mean perfectionism! Idealism makes Obama want to reform medical education and control guns. It does not mean that he wants to completely solve it once and for all. It does not mean that he wants to solve the unemployment rate to zero! Even speaking deeper, who knows whether Obama¡¯s youthfulness and idealism that is exposed on the outside is a political image that is very consistent with his personal image and habits? It is because he has little experience, and it is because he has I have a good heart, so I just designed some very early proposals, proposals that some mature politicians would not propose because they knew they would not succeed. In this way, it would seem that Obama is different from others? But anyway, as long as the re-employment problem of some unemployed people is solved, that will be enough for Obama to be elected president!
After all, word-of-mouth spreads. Ten people are unemployed and one person¡¯s re-employment problem is solved. Then the remaining nine people will be full of hope and vote for Obama, right? As for after being elected if Obama finds a way to find employment for half of the remaining nine people, then that's about it, right? After all, if we really talk about it, the four unemployed people left are not unemployed all the time, nor are they always unemployed. And besides, at least it doesn¡¯t look like the U.S. economy will continue to decline, right? When the economy gets better and job opportunities naturally increase, then when these four people find jobs, they won't complain that Obama didn't help them, right? By then, I¡¯m sure they will all be praising Obama!
So no matter what, the goal of Jia Hongjian and the Obama team is not to find jobs for all unemployed people in the United States. What they need is to find some people per 500,000 people based on population density, and then help them and create reputation. , to control the votes to some extent, that¡¯s all! (To be continued.)
