Chapter 261： : The next 1 march to Europe

Anthony left, and Hardy came to the casino. The casino was very lively and the guests were bustling. It happened to be the time of the draw. The prize of the draw reached more than 90,000 US dollars. A large group of people waiting for the draw were gathered around.

The lottery begins.

The Las Vegas TV camera is aimed at the lottery machine.

After three rounds of the lottery, the winning numbers appear.

The people of the agency investment company cheered. This time it was the grand prize won by the guests of the agency investment company. There were admirers and admirers on the scene.

Hardy suddenly thought of something.

Stop a waiter.

"Mr. Hardy, what do you want?" the waiter respectfully said.

"Go and call the manager Upton."

"Good Mr. Hardy."

Not long, Casino Manager Upton trot over, "Mr. Hardy, are you looking for me?"

"I'm going to open a handicap to bet on who will win and become president this time. You ask the actuary of the casino to calculate the odds. By the way, not only President Dewey and Johnson, but also other candidates." Hardy said. .

The casino manager opened his mouth in surprise, betting on who would win and become the president, and the boss really dared to play.

"Well, I'll let people prepare."

After two days of preparation, Las Vegas TV broadcasted an advertisement, and Hardy Casino opened a handicap to bet on who can win this election. There are 11 candidates this time. Of course, President Johnson and Dewey are definitely the biggest ones. Popularity, other contenders only accompany running at best.

However, accompany running also has human rights, and they are all on the gambling list.

President Johnson, odds are 1.46.

Dewey, the odds are 2.16.

Hawkins, the odds are 5.35.

Perot, 6.88.

Hughes,...

The higher the odds, the higher the odds, the lower the casino believes that the candidate will win.

The opening of the Hardy Casino instantly attracted the attention of people across the United States.

The opening bet that the president wins, no one has done this before, but this is the first time that Hardy is the first.

But people also see something from this odds. It is clear that Hardy Casino is more optimistic about President Johnson's re-election because Johnson has the lowest odds.

As soon as the market opened, many people placed their bets. Naturally, they were also betting through proxy investment companies. There was a lot of big money entering the market at a time.

One week later, the bet amount reached more than 30 million U.S. dollars, and the most people bought President Johnson and Dewey. The other contenders only accompany them on the run, and the third place was only tens of thousands of dollars.

......

The newspaper updated the betting amount of the President’s handicap daily. Johnson smiled after seeing it and said to his campaign team: “Look, now I’m buying the most. What does this mean? It shows people’s confidence in me to win. It's getting higher and higher."

It is true.

When Dewey received foreign political donations, Dewey’s reputation was discredited, and Hardy produced a documentary "Black Gold." Dewey’s approval rate plummeted. The last poll showed that Johnson has surpassed Dewey, which made Johnson very happy.

Johnson picked up the phone and called Hardy. After the call was connected, Johnson smiled and said, "Hadi, I will be in Los Angeles tomorrow. Are you ready over there?"

"Hehe, of course I'm ready, don't worry, this Los Angeles speech tour will be the most grand speech event ever." Hardy smiled.

President Johnson is going to continue his national speech tour, this stop is Los Angeles.

Hardy made a lot of preparations in advance.

The location is on Hollywood Boulevard.

A few days in advance, abc television station released an advertisement to tell the public the date of President Johnson’s speech.

There will be many guests to help out that day.

Including the four mentors of the ‘Super Idol’ audition show, as well as 32 finalists, they will perform on stage.

At the same time, a large number of stars will come to the scene to help out.

At that time, ABC TV will broadcast this speech across the United States.

hd security is responsible for site safety.

There is also a benefit. All people who come to the scene on that day can receive a bottle of Pepsi for free.

At that time, the team predicted that more than 100,000 people would come.

But these people still underestimated the attractiveness of the stars. On the day of the speech, the entire Hollywood Boulevard was crowded with crowds. One hundred thousand bottles of Pepsi had long been snatched away and 100,000 bottles were urgently transferred.

It turned out later that it was still not enough.

"Continue luck, don't be afraid of too many people, and get it repeatedly. Isn't it just some cola? There is no better advertisement than this." Pepsi Chairman and President Walter Mack ordered again.

The performance begins.

The first was Ava Gardner's debut and instantly won countless cheers. Ava sang her most famous song "Scarborough Fair", and more than 200,000 people cheered across the sky.

Immediately after that, several other instructors took the stage to greet the audience, and then the students of this year's "Super Idol" talent show appeared on stage.

This year's most popular show is "Super Draft", and people cheered no less than their mentors.

Especially when the **** American sweetheart Marilyn Monroe took the stage, the cheers were even more enthusiastic. After Monroe sang a song, she retreated to the stage, and many Hollywood stars appeared on the stage to cheer for this speech.

The abc TV station is broadcasting live at this time. Today is a Saturday off day. Most families in the United States gather in the living room to watch this show. It is rare to see so many stars at once, how can people let it go.

There are still many people who are envious of going to the scene. If they go to the scene, they can drink free Pepsi.

finally.

President Johnson took the stage.

Johnson waved his arms lightly, with a sunny smile on his face, "Hello people of Los Angeles, I am your President Johnson."

"Wow~~!"

There was a burst of cheers on the scene.

President Johnson began his passionate speech, from future governance to improving people's livelihood, from developing the country to international relations.

In terms of international relations, Johnson specifically mentioned the leaders of a certain country in the East, "In order to defeat France, we provided them with a lot of support, but after our victory in World War II, their greedy and corrupt attributes began to be exposed."

"I will not continue on the wrong path, so I stopped the assistance to them in time, because the assistance was all the property of the American people. They felt that they could not get any benefits from me, so they found Dewey instead, and what happened next? I must have known about the documentary, "Black Gold", and it was really exciting."

Hahahaha~~~!

Hundreds of thousands of people laughed in the square.

Johnson did not forget to step on his competitor in his own speech, but this method of stepping on the opponent often happens in the presidential election, and people will not think that Johnson is stingy.

Finally, the speech ended with warm applause.

The entire speech event lasted for more than four hours. According to incomplete estimates, more than 300,000 people came to the scene.

As many as dozens of Hollywood stars showed up to cheer, this lineup is bigger than any performance.

As soon as the speech was over, all parties began to report.

"Global Times", "This is a "Speech of the Century". President Johnson came to Los Angeles. The crowd welcomed them. There were more than 300,000 people in the venue. President Johnson gave a two-hour speech and received dozens of applause."

"Los Angeles Times", "There were dozens of celebrities at the speech to help out, the momentum was huge, and the people were extremely enthusiastic. According to the latest data from the survey company, President Johnson's approval rating has surpassed Dewey, and now the balance of winning the championship has favored Johnson."

"Los Angeles Pictorial", "Yesterday President Johnson drank more than 500,000 bottles of Pepsi at the speech venue, all provided by PepsiCo for free. I have to say that the President of PepsiCo is really good at advertising. With this opportunity, PepsiCo is in the United States. There was another big advertisement in front of the people."

President Johnson, who returned to his residence, was still in excitement. After seeing Hardy, he came up and gave him a hug.

"Hadi, you know, I seem to be back when I first entered the White House three years ago. At that time, my approval rate reached 80%. The American people liked me. They said that I led everyone to end the war." Johnson said with emotion.

"But slowly, as time goes by, people seem to forget my efforts. They no longer like me. They want to find a new president. I don’t have any negative news. They just say that I am stubborn. Good relations, failure of foreign policy, etc."

"Haha, but today, I once again felt the feeling of being loved by the people," said Johnson. Here, Johnson looked at Hardy and gave him a strong hug. "Hadi, I know who helped me."

After speaking, he patted Hardy on the shoulder twice.

The two sat down and Hardy handed Johnson a glass of wine. Johnson took a sip, suppressing his excitement, and continued:

"Hadi, when I came, I was asking the Secretary of State to prepare the'White Paper on the East'. I want to completely leave them alone. They plan to take refuge in Dewey. This is unforgivable, and in my opinion, they are indeed no longer worth the investment. "

Johnson just said casually, but Hardy moved in his heart.

If this white paper comes out, I am afraid it will be a devastating blow to the bald guy. Johnson asked the National Property Council to make comments and no longer supports them. They are just comments and can be changed at any time. Then it really broke.

"I am going to focus on Europe in the future, Hardy, do you know the Marshall Plan?" Johnson asked Hardy, looking at him.

"of course I know."

How could Hardy not know about such a big thing, and in his previous life, he also read a book about the Marshall Plan, and learned a lot about the latter. Now the days in European countries are very sad, and it is precisely because of the Marshall Plan that Europe can Recovered.

certainly,

The United States also has its own plan, which is to control the world's right to speak through aid and compete with Britain and France for the position of the world's leader.

There were only Johnson and Hardy in the room. Johnson looked at Hardy and said: "In April this year, I formally signed the Marshall Plan and approved the establishment of the Economic Cooperation Administration. In the next three years, I will provide assistance to a dozen Western European countries. "

"Aid includes funds, industrial products, technology, equipment, food, etc., with a total annual amount of about 4 billion US dollars."

"The economic team predicts that those countries are now waiting to be thriving and lack supplies. It is estimated that more than 80% of the funds to support them will return to the United States, and then they will be replaced with various commodities and shipped to Europe."

Hardy's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized the huge business opportunities in it.

"Now the Marshall Plan is just beginning, but I have found some problems. I think it is still a little insufficient to rely on government power. I am preparing to organize a private business investigation group led by the government to travel around Europe."

"Some of the members of the delegation have funds in their hands and can lend to those countries they have goods, they can sell to them, they have technology, they can cooperate, and those countries have promised to open some projects. If the delegation has someone If you look at these projects, you can consider investing. This is definitely a win-win thing."

Hardy looked at President Johnson and said he was an old politician. It is estimated that he could win many consortiums.

certainly.

Given the relationship between Hardy and Johnson, there must be a piece of this cake.

"Hadi, I am going to set up three teams for the first group of inspections. You can form one team." Johnson said.

The investment in Johnson is beginning to make a profit.

And it was the first group of study groups. The first group of people who came to the table ate all meat. After they had eaten it, the people in the back came back. I'm afraid they can only eat bones.
