Chapter 641 The Road Paved with Money

"Won't you attend the Open Handset Alliance Conference in two days?"

In the morning light, Ivanta sat on the bedside, lowered her head and put on flesh-colored stockings.

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

"I won't go, you know, after I meet with Ao Guanhai, I will prepare to return to England..."

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

At present, 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 currently revealed, Google will officially launch their mobile phone 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, while Apple's iOS system will only be installed on the iPhone, and there is no need to compete with them for mobile phone manufacturers.

After saying goodbye to Ivanta, Barron left the manor by car and went to the airport.

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

In the US election that just ended, the Democratic Party candidate and Senator O'Guanhai 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. O'Guanhai, this is a great victory."

"Thank you for your support, Your Highness, I will serve the American people with all my strength in the next four years."

Although he has been confirmed to be elected, O'Guanhai needs to wait until January 20 next year to take office, so he did not go to Washington at this time, but remained in Illinois.

It can be said that O'Guanhai is in a state of high spirits at this time. From the smile on his face, we can see his ambitious mood at this time.

However, at the same time, with the current economic situation in the United States, Obama also understood that after he took office in the future, the first thing he needed to do was to clean up the mess left by Bush Jr. and make the American economy get out of the subprime mortgage crisis as soon as possible and revive.

Therefore, this time he took time to meet with Barron, the capital tycoon. In addition to thanking him for his support in the election, the two talked most about the current financial situation in the United States, specifically, the situation of 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 funds spent by the two candidates in this election have reached nearly 1.5 billion US dollars...

Among them, Obama's "fundraising" ability is obviously stronger, and his spending can account for two-thirds of the total spending of the two candidates, which is close to 1 billion US dollars.

It can be said that Obama's road to becoming the president is purely paved with US dollars.

Because in fact, Barron knows that in addition to the election funds that can be checked publicly and recognized by the Federal Election Commission, the funds filled in by other forms are several times more than this. For example, as a non-American citizen, Barron's investment in the Donkey Party where Ao Guanhai belongs is invested in other "informal" forms of campaign funds.

Therefore, if all these funds are included, the funds involved in this American election may be as high as 3-5 billion US dollars!

And Ao Guanhai's gratitude to Barron, in addition to the funds he invested, including the media of the Sinclair Group and the biased push of Woaw, cannot be ignored.

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

Although Ao Guanhai needs to wait nearly two months before he officially takes office, Barron directly calls him "the President", and Ao Guanhai opposite him just smiles and does not correct him.

As for the "more active economic policy" mentioned by Barron...

"I know that your funds have played a big role in stabilizing our finance, Your Highness, I am very grateful for this, and in the future I will definitely implement a series of measures to revitalize the economy, but the specific plan still needs to be carefully considered before it can be concluded."

Although Ao Guanhai has not yet taken office, Barron almost knows the outline of his future economic policy - there will be no difference from his previous life, that is, a large amount of money printing...

Speaking of which, it seems that there is no better way now. In fact, the "large amount of money printing" has already begun...

Otherwise, the US government will have a rescue plan of hundreds of billions of dollars at any time. Where does the money come from? Isn't it just starting their printing press?

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

With this round of "flooding" by the Federal Reserve, 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 in exchange rate relative to other currencies, and has even appreciated relative to the British pound and the euro. Of course, that's It's because other currencies have also begun to lose water accordingly.

After all, as the only global currency, if the US dollar starts to drain money, other countries will have no choice but to follow. Otherwise, the consequence will be that their own country’s wealth will be harvested in this way. Of course, there are pros and cons to currency draining, and in some cases Sometimes the harm outweighs the good, but between the two evils, one can only choose the lesser.

Next, Barron will continue to make acquisitions and use the funds he earned in the subprime mortgage crisis through various funds as soon as possible and turn them into various assets. Otherwise, these funds will only be passively devalued in his hands.

In addition, Barron knows that if history does not change much, the well-known BitC will probably appear later - after all, in his previous life, it is said that the rather mysterious "Mr. Nakamoto" once worked In the banking industry, he saw the government "rescuing the market" by randomly expanding the issuance of US dollars during the subprime mortgage crisis. He questioned the centralized monetary policy, thus creating decentralized BitC with a constant total amount of 21 million. …

Of course, if he were an ordinary person, Barron would probably be confused when BitC first appeared, because there were very few people participating in "mining", and there had not been several rounds of halvings. Even the computing power of an ordinary computer was not enough. When you can get rich output, participate.

But for Barron now, even if BitC enters the mainstream view in the future and more and more Wall Street capital participates, its total value is still far away from gold, let alone the current "barbaric" period. Worth his attention.

After all, he has no idea or need to directly control BitC and just let it develop slowly like in his previous life.

What should I say about some of the conspiracy theories surrounding BitC in the past life... Conspiracy theories are often exaggerated, mysterious, and curious, but inevitably lack logic.
