Entering July, Bill Clinton won the Democratic primary and became a candidate to represent the Democratic Party in the presidential election.
This junior who was not favored before defeated many powerful enemies in this election campaign. Not only did he show his extremely inflammatory speech ability, but he also showed extraordinary wisdom of the genitals.
The monarchy proposition he put forward also won the support of the people, which gradually increased his approval rating.
In comparison, Lao Bushi, who was sure to win, has made many tricks in the past six months, and his approval rating has dropped sharply.
Just last year, when the election war just started, Lao Bushi's approval rating reached 89%. Such a high approval rating means that as long as he doesn't make any moves, he can choose to lie down.
But as the saying goes, you will not die if you don’t commit suicide. Under such a good situation, perhaps Lao Bushi Piao had already announced that he would increase the tax revenue of the government at this critical moment.
Although he did this to reduce the federal deficit, it violated his previous promise of ruling, greatly disappointed his supporters and greatly dissatisfied all Americans.
After all, increasing taxes in the government means robbing money from the people, and no one is willing to exchange for anyone. What's more, the US economy has not performed well in recent years. Especially although the United States won a beautiful victory in the Gulf War, the high-tech war was all about money, and a missile costs millions of dollars. Therefore, the Gulf War caused the US federal deficit to rise sharply.
Under such circumstances, the lives of ordinary Americans were affected and did not enjoy the dividends brought by the Gulf War. Therefore, Lao Bushi wanted to increase taxes and grab another sum of money from their already meager income, so the people naturally would not do it.
So after announcing the increase in tax revenue, Lao Bushi's approval rating began to decline. From the end of the Gulf War, the approval rating was 89, and it fell to only 40, falling more than half.
...
Lao Bushi won the Gulf War and won the approval rating, but owed a large number of debts; now increasing taxes to repay debts has led to dissatisfaction among the people, causing the approval rating to fall... This is really a drink and a peck, can it be decided before?
...
In comparison, Bill Clinton is much smarter. On the one hand, he plays the economic card, claiming to revitalize the economy, narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, and win the support of the people; on the other hand, he accuses Lao Bushi of going back on his word, breaking his promises, and suppressing his opponent's support rating.
This caused Clinton's approval rating to gradually rise. At the beginning of the year, the approval rating was only 25%, and at one point it reached 55%, surpassing Lao Bushi.
Faced with such a strong opponent, Lao Bushi made serious mistakes in his campaign strategy. He did not care about the economic issues that the American people are most concerned about at present, but instead vigorously praised his contributions to diplomatic fields, such as the end of the Gulf War and the Cold War.
But this is actually indifferent to ordinary people. After all, the end of the Cold War and the Gulf War have nothing to do with their daily lives and their economic income.
They may feel honored because the United States won the Gulf War, but when it comes to reality, they still have to worry about three meals a day.
Therefore, Lao Bushi only talks about these diplomatic contributions and does not mention economic development, so it is naturally difficult to win the support of the people.
In comparison, Bill Clinton's words "Follower, this is an economic problem!" have won the resonance of the people in this way, and have made his support rate higher and higher.
...
Lao Bushi's support declined, which made his son Xiao Bushi very anxious.
Because Xiao Bushi understands that power represents money. Once his father is not the president of the United States, his power will greatly decline. At that time, no one will give him money to spend.
So he had to keep his father's position as president. In addition to helping him assist him in the election, he also tried his best to help him increase his support. He called Xia Tian every few days and asked Xia Tian to help him and use his media to help him build momentum.
Xia Tian agreed very simply and also helped Xiao Bushi promote more on TV. Because he knew that Xiao Bushi would make a comeback in eight years, and it was unwise to offend him now.
However, he promoted it as a propaganda, but only promoted the good of Lao Bushi, and did not promote Bill Clinton's bad. In this way, he dealt with Xiao Bushi, but did not offend Bill Clinton.
Moreover, when the promotion started, Xia Tian agreed very happily and did not even ask for promotional fees. This blocked Xiao Bushi's mouth. Later, when he called again and asked Xia Tian to do more publicity, Xia Tian directly threw the bill with him. Seeing that Xia Tian paid tens of millions of dollars in promotional fees in advance, Xiao Bushi couldn't make any more excessive requests.
...
On Clinton's side, Xia Xue's support for him was mainly reflected in the support of funds and items.
In terms of donations from Zhengzhi, Xia Xue's donations are among the best. In addition, Clinton gave speeches everywhere, and also needed material support. For example, the entire team's food and accommodation, rental venues, etc., Xia Xue gave necessary support. This also deepened her relationship with the Clinton and his wife.
As for public opinion, CBS and Snow Media Holdings are neutral. Whoever gives money will sell their advertising space. In the Storm program, their views on the Democratic Party (Bill Clinton) and the Republican Party (Lao Buss) are also neutral, neither too catering to someone or oversuppressing someone.
The reason for this is that Xia Tian doesn't want to cause trouble. To be honest, although he is now an American media tycoon, he is always an outsider to Americans because of his nationality and skin color. If he performs too prominently in the presidential election, it may cause a rebound from populist forces within the United States.
Therefore, in order not to offend both sides, we can only adopt a moderate policy.
This is not like Murdoch. Although Murdoch was born in the Australian Liberty, he is white and has become an American citizen, so he has to be much bolder in news reports. His words are sharp and his angles are tricky, which makes people unable to defend themselves.
...
The presidential election in the United States is in full swing.
The summer's vcd patent application is also progressing smoothly. Now, patents are registered and approval are underway in China, the United States, Europe and other places.
At the same time, factories in mainland China have also begun to produce the first batch of vcds. The first batch is expected to manufacture one million units and will be mainly sold in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Nanyang and other places.
In addition to producing vcd machines, genuine vcd discs have also begun to be recorded. The first batch of vcd discs recorded are mainly classic movies produced by Tianxia Pictures in recent years, such as the "Mr. Zombie" series, the "Battle Flower" series, the "Heroic Color" series, the "Huang Feihong" series, etc.
