v3 Chapter 903: For the sake of the United States (1/2)

Xia Yu smiled slightly and said with an expression of Zhizhu shaking in his hands: ”Although under normal circumstances, the director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers is the president's chief economic adviser, the appointment of all the staff of the White House is in the hands of the president. Adding a new economic adviser post, anyway, the president has the final say, without the approval of Congress.”

”One more thing, your status depends on your status in the eyes of the president. If your ability can't match John Rutridge, then even if you sit on the position of the chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, you will be replaced.”

”If you can contend with him, even if you are not in the position of the chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, you can still become the chief economic adviser in the president's mind, and even further swap positions with him.”

Rhodes Saxon nodded in agreement with Xia Yu's view.

He also considered this point, but he was not sure that he would be able to persuade Ronald Reagan to create a separate post for him to compete with the director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

He also thought about it in another way, knowing how much pressure it would cause Ronald Reagan to create this position alone.

After all, there are so many people in a team, and the position of senior White House officials is normally more than 20. Everyone wants to be in a high position. Since they can drive for the first time? So why can't it be opened a second time? What about the third time?

Once this kind of thing is not handled properly, it will cause huge internal risks to Ronald Reagan and affect his governance.

But he also knew that what he couldn't do didn't mean that Xia Yu couldn't do it, so he came here.

Xia Yu continued: ”So you should go back a little bit. You have to impress Ronald Reagan with your own theoretical views and let him put you in an important position in your heart.”

”For the sake of my happy cooperation with him, and also for the happy cooperation between you and him, the best I can do is to provide you with a fair competition opportunity, do you think it is right?”

Rhodes Saxon nodded heavily and said: ”You are right, I think I am not worse than him, but what I am worse is an opportunity to compete. I need a wide enough platform to show my ability.”

”Flap!”

Xia Yu smiled and applauded, and said with a smile: ”Yes, I also think you are not inferior to him. You and John Rutridge have their own characteristics. Although he also writes articles in the media, he is A typical academic expert, but you are different. Although your academic qualifications are not as good as him, your social practice experience far exceeds him. You are an academic and practical talent. Of course, you can see through some more subtle things in combination with reality. This is you The advantages.”

”No matter how good theories and policies are, they must be practical to achieve a perfect landing.”

Speaking of this, Xia Yu looked at Rhodes Saxon again. Seeing the latter's face in thought, Xia Yu knew he had listened.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Yu said again: ”But Rhodes, I also hope that your future will be brighter, and I will do my best to help you.”

”Now Jimmy Carter has left Ronald Reagan with a huge mess. Inflation, economic downturn, high unemployment, and international relations, etc., everyone is watching Ronald Reagan come to power. To be able to solve these problems later, if you want to become the chief economic adviser and become a true core figure in the White House, you have to face these problems and put forward practical and effective measures. Do you want to hear my thoughts?”

Rhodes Saxon was shocked and suddenly nodded in surprise: ”Of course, Mr. Xia, you are a master in the field of economics. It is my honor to listen to your instructions.”

Because he and Xia Yu were on the same line, Rhodes Saxon knew a little bit more than outsiders, so he understood Xia Yu's horror better.

In his opinion, the young appearance is completely disguised. Under the young appearance, it is the wisdom and the old way to see through the world.

Xia Yu's advice is definitely not easy to obtain.

Next, Xia Yu combined with the mature ”Reagan Economics” of later generations, and based on the status quo, began to inculcate Rhodes Saxon's ideas: ”If you want to solve the inflation problem, then the U.S. monetary policy must be expansionary...”

The full amount of dry goods tells Xia Yu that Rhodes Saxon can easily distinguish the quality. He was pleasantly surprised to find that Xia Yu’s views have given him a huge inspiration. Many things he had not considered before, but Nowadays, it is practical and effective to think carefully, and has a high degree of execution.

He wanted to take a tape recorder to record all Xia Yu's instructions, but unfortunately he could only get paper and notes urgently. He had to interrupt Xia Yu's narration more than once because he couldn't remember them.

After three days, Rhodes Saxon simply stayed at Xia Yu’s house. He seized this opportunity to discuss and communicate with Xia Yu. When he encountered incomprehensions, he would inquire in detail. Try to argue with Xia Yu.

But there is no need to guess the result of the argument, it is all based on Xia Yu's victory.

After arguing again and again, Rhodes Saxon's eyes on Xia Yu completely changed, and he was impressed by Xia Yu in his heart.

Three days later.

Rhodes Saxon, in a suit and leather shoes, stood at the door of Xia Yu’s villa, full of energy and self-confidence. He solemnly said to Xia Yu: ”Mr. Xia, thank you for your guidance. I may not be absolutely sure to defeat it three days ago. John Rutridge, but now I have the confidence to win, the chief economic adviser of the White House will definitely be me!”

The ”Reagan Economics” formed by Reagan's two years in power in later generations has an unquestionable impact on Rhodes Saxon, and has also brought his ideological and theoretical level to several steps. This improvement is completely cheating.

To put it simply, Rhodes Saxon, who learned the essence after Xia Yu’s advice, is a combination of himself + John Rutridge and the entire elite team eight years later. The foundation of Rhodes Saxon’s outstanding performance has been Yes, and it was given by Xia Yu.

Xia Yu smiled and said, ”Rhodes, remember what I told you. After you go back, you should take the time to show Ronald Reagan your views and talents, give him a surprise, and then I will see him again. ”

”Okay, I won't forget.” Rhodes Saxon replied.
