Chapter 1007 (1/2)

When the U.S. stock market closed on the afternoon of August 15, Carvel, who was officially listed, said, Clinton was deliberating, only listening to Hillary's preemptive saying: ”this is a good idea, Chester, do you have any specific ideas?”

Clinton frowned slightly, but still looked at the campaign manager opposite.

Chester Carvel pretended not to notice the first lady's continuous intrusion, looked at the president and got permission from her eyes, and said: ”after all, the company's monopoly tendency is too obvious. Moreover, as the company with the highest market value in the federal market, launching an investigation on igritte can also achieve the best results in the shortest time Big impact. ”

With regard to the monopoly issue of igritte, as the company has been listed in the first place in the market value of U.S. enterprises, related lawsuits and disputes are numerous, but they have been deliberately ignored by Washington.

Now, if an investigation is to be launched, all kinds of reasons are ready-made.

This time, before the president and his wife spoke, Leon Panetta had already said, ”Chester, have you considered the possible impact on the Nasdaq stock market?” With

breaking through 5000 points, the degree of bubbles in the technology stock market is becoming more serious.

This kind of time node, rashly launched an anti-monopoly investigation on igrit, is likely to lead to the collapse of the Nasdaq market.

If this happens, Clinton's most brilliant achievements in his first term may be wiped out in the next few months. Most importantly, investors on Wall Street, Silicon Valley and even all over the world who are bound to suffer huge losses from the collapse of technology stocks will turn their anger to the White House.

No one can bear the result.

The living room on the West Wing of the White House was quiet.

We all remember that in the first half of this year, Simon westrow tried to suppress the excessive madness of the NASDAQ index by continuously reducing his holdings and other actions. However, in the face of strong pressure from all aspects, even the super rich man with trillions of dollars had to stop.

Now, the White House is more afraid to take that risk.

On the Republican side, it's almost a dead end.

To get the initiative, the White House has to take the lead. On the Republican side, Bob Dole, who has confirmed that he will be nominated by the party, only needs to emphasize that he will take tough measures against the westrow system after he is elected. Who knows if he will really do so in the future?

After a moment of silence, Hillary was the first to speak, looked at her husband and said, ”bill, you have to make a decision to fight the westero system.”

The attitude of the first lady is obvious.

Leon Panetta and Chester Carvel looked at each other and said nothing.

Clinton, who had been repeatedly pondering with his fingers on his knees, could not help feeling a little angry when he heard his wife's words. He knew that Hillary's idea was not so much for his re-election as to pave the way for her future political future.

launched an antitrust investigation against igritt, and once it smashed, it broke the bubble of technology stocks. Whether Wall Street or Silicon Valley, it would only put its responsibility on this president. Even if it affected the first lady, it would probably be able to resolve it in a few years. As for him, even if he wins a second term, it will not be easy for him.

Not to mention after stepping down.

However, the first lady can continue to grab political capital and accumulate deeper political connections through his second term.

Even though he thought so, Clinton was not a man who lacked decision. He quietly made up his mind and then looked at his chief of staff: ”Leon, what do you think?”

Leon Panetta thought a little and said, ”even if The bubble is really broken. Voters, I think they should be more willing to see this kind of scene.

Yeah.

Offend capital, the impact will not immediately appear, after all, even the current campaign funds have been raised enough.

if bubbles really break down, voters will get instant results.

The mentality of ordinary people is very easy to understand. What they can't get is a happy thing to see destruction. In addition, starting the anti-monopoly investigation on igritte, Dole's side, in the next few months, is not easy to attack himself with this topic.

In the final analysis, the first order is to strive for re-election.

Since the decision was made, Clinton said, ”well, Leon, let Jennie come to see me tomorrow morning.”

Clinton is talking about Janet Reynolds, the current attorney general.

To maximize the initiative, the anti-monopoly investigation against igritte must be initiated by the Justice Department, one of the president's cabinet.

Leon Panetta agreed, thought about it and said, ”bill, this Do you need to discuss it with westero in advance? ”

Clinton thought a little about what she was about to say, and she already said, ”no need. If the Republican Party detects this, it will be meaningless. On the contrary, it will become a weapon to attack us...”

Seeing that Hillary still had to go on, Clinton finally interrupted and said to Panetta, ”I'll discuss these details with Jenny tomorrow and then make a decision.””Well, I'll let Jennie know later.”

After talking about it, Clinton didn't give Hillary a chance to intervene. She turned to her campaign manager and directly changed the topic, saying, ”Chester, talk about the situation of several major newspaper unions.”
