Chapter 1672 (1/2)
The news of Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California spread all over the world in this Chinese midnight.
In order to give Schwarzenegger a little favor, Li Mu asked Muye technology's microblog twitter, YY and YY to release news simultaneously, which contributed to the global spread of Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California.
Similar to Li Mu, Schwarzenegger has a high reputation in the world. His image of terminator is so classic that his popularity in the world is no less than that of Michael Jackson.
However, an action star who plays ”terminator” suddenly becomes governor of California, which makes people all over the world surprised.
Li Mu was shocked by the news at that time. He still remembers his original idea. He thought that it was incredible that an actor could be the head of a state. He even doubted whether Schwarzenegger had paid for election, and even doubted whether he could manage such a big California well.
At that time, Li Mu didn't know much about American politics. He used the situation of Chinese officialdom to cover Schwarzenegger. He felt like a martial arts star in China. Suddenly, he became a high-ranking official in the most economically developed province. He felt strongly untrue when he listened.
Later, after gradually understanding how American politics works, Li Mu was no longer surprised by this. Even a lawyer could run for president and a star could be governor.
After all, Schwarzenegger's ability to govern was a bit awkward. During his several years in office, he basically did not make any real outstanding achievements. The government deficit continued to grow, education, infrastructure, entertainment, employment and economy were all in a mess. At the end of his last term of office, the support rate had fallen to the bottom, which was close to 70% compared with his inauguration Rate, Schwarzenegger finally can be said to be a dismal exit.
Li Mu believes that at this moment, Schwarzenegger, who is waiting to take office under the attention of the whole world, must be full of enthusiasm to show his ruling ability, but he will not believe that from the day he took office, he is basically going downhill.
This is an eight year long downhill road. The worst thing is that there is also the financial crisis in 2008, which is almost a cliff road. Schwarzenegger should feel great pressure soon after taking office.
……
The next day, a well-known talk show on CNN in the United States conducted an exclusive interview with Schwarzenegger.
As Schwarzenegger's news of being elected governor of California is in the hottest stage in the world, this interview also attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers in the United States and even the world.
On the show, Schwarzenegger appeared on the stage in a very fit suit. The handsome suit completely concealed his muscles and changed his whole temperament.
Most of the audience are used to the image of his muscles on the screen. Suddenly they see that he is so serious that it is difficult to adapt for a while.
Even the host couldn't help sighing: ”Arnold, to be honest, this is the first time I have seen you in a suit. I didn't expect that such a strong bodybuilder, such a rough action actor, should have such a gentleman side.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger sat on the sofa of the interview and said with a smile: ”to be honest, when I started to run for governor, I was also shocked by the suit in the mirror. I asked in the mirror several times: who am I and why do I wear this?”
The host asked with a smile, ”how did you get used to it later?”
Schwarzenegger shrugged his shoulders and smiled: ”I looked at the stranger in the mirror and said to him: you are going to run for governor, you are going to show your political ambition, you are going to let the world know that you can not only be an actor, but also be a governor and make California better. The first step to do all this is to start with a suit.”
The host smiled and nodded, and applauded with the audience. After the applause, he seriously said: ”I believe that now not only the people of California, but also the people of the United States and even the world are curious about how you want to govern California, and what changes are you going to bring to California?”
Schwarzenegger must seriously say: ”first of all, I want to cut down on California's fiscal spending. To be honest, I couldn't believe that those people before I ran for governor could run a good California like this.”
Speaking of this, Schwarzenegger held out a finger and said with some emotion: ”can you imagine that there are billions of dollars in deficit in California? California's fiscal spending has reached a crazy point. These wasted money, not the money of the California government, are all the money of the California taxpayers, even including my contribution to California as an actor 's tax. ”
The host laughs and says, ”Oh, I believe there must be a lot of taxes in it. After all, you are the top actor in Hollywood, with a salary of tens of millions of dollars.”
Schwarzenegger helplessly said: ”but you see, we have contributed so much money to California, the California government has spent more money, but California itself has become worse and worse, our education and health care problems are many, our government's operation efficiency is low, our road is getting worse and worse, the environment is getting worse and worse, these are all the previous failures of the California government.”The supporter asked, ”Arnold, you are going to take office next week. Have you and your team ever thought about how to solve the problems you just mentioned?”
”We will start from the essence of each issue, reduce spending, enhance the efficiency of government operation, and reduce the basic burden of the people. Specific measures will be announced after the swearing in,” Schwarzenegger said
The supporter smiled and said, ”let's talk about the inauguration ceremony and the private party after the inauguration ceremony. You are a famous first-line star in Hollywood. I believe there will be a lot of Hollywood stars who will come to the scene to give you a lift, right?”
