Hadi's Empire 1945 New() Find the latest chapter!

Johnson went to several cities in Georgia and Alabama to do publicity. Seeing that the election was just around the corner, the publicity campaign officially stopped and returned to Washington.

October 31.

Johnson called Hardy, Hady, are you busy in LA?

It's okay. Hardy said with a smile.

Why don't you come to Washington to accompany me, I invite you to play golf on the 2nd. Johnson said.

Of course, I will accompany you to welcome the news of the election victory. Hardy said with a smile.

No one knows the outcome until the last minute, Johnson said.

Hardy knew that Johnson was still worried, it was just human nature, so he would find the most trusted person to accompany him.

the next day.

Hardy took a private jet to Washington, and met with President Johnson at the White House. The matter has come to the end, and all that has to be done has been done. Now we just need to wait for the result. Hardy accompanies Johnson to dinner and chats about economic matters. .

such as investment in Europe.

The future economic development of the United States.

Hardy also benefited a lot from chatting, because he knew Johnson's vision for the future, and he could make arrangements in advance.

Sometimes a big man can make a fortune with a single word. If a group company like Hadi grasps the future direction and seizes the opportunity, it can go to the next level. This is why those big businessmen are willing to invest in politicians.

Sometimes you don't need to actually ask them to help you make a profit, just knowing some plans in their mouths is enough.

For example, knowing that the executives are ready to vigorously develop high-tech enterprises, Hardy can make arrangements in high-tech enterprises in advance.

For example, knowing that you are going to suppress real estate, get rid of real estate investment in advance, and invest in other more profitable industries by cashing out at a high level.

Another example....

November 2, 1948.

Election Day.

Hardy and President Johnson came to a private golf course on the outskirts of Washington early, which is relatively remote and will not receive anyone else today, only Hardy and Johnson.

It's quiet here,

The two played and chatted, rested when they were tired, had some drinks and something to eat, and went to the hotel to sleep when they were sleepy.

At this time, the outside world was extremely noisy.

Tens of thousands gathered outside the White House, holding signs in support of Johnson's re-election, singing songs and asking President Johnson to come out and meet them.

Reporters also blocked the door of the White House, hoping to interview His Excellency the President.

And outside Dewey's New York governor's mansion, a lot of people gathered. These people shouted slogans in support of Dewey, and the voices were full of people.

On the other side of the ocean, a certain bald man is also anxiously waiting for news. He previously chose to invest in Dewey, who has a higher voice, hoping to gain strong support from the new president, but he did not expect that because of his campaign funds, Dewey was in trouble.

There has been a so-called 'black gold incident'.

Offended President Johnson and Dewey, and the $5 million he took out was also withheld.

And he also heard that President Johnson is asking the Secretary of State to sort out the White Paper on the Flowers, many of which stated that he would break with them, which made a bald man very annoyed and very scared, so this election, he still hopes that Dewey will win.

At the very least, Dewey will not take revenge on him as fiercely as Johnson.

He even hopes to continue to get support. Recently, the domestic war has been tense, and the Northeast has lost the first battle, losing more than 500,000 troops. This makes a bald head more frightened. The enemy is getting stronger and stronger, and he already feels that the crisis of destruction is approaching.

So he urgently asked for foreign aid.

Johnson has no hope at all, and Dewey is a straw that is not a straw.

it's getting dark,

Hardy and Johnson finished their dinner, the golf course street lights were on, and the weather was a little cold in November, and the two walked on the grass in their coats.

Hady, if I get re-elected and want to implement Medicare for All, do you think it's feasible? President Johnson asked.

Johnson is still obsessed with Medicare for All.

I mentioned it when I was the vice president, and I mentioned it when I became the president. In this election promise, there is also universal health care.

But Hardy knew in his heart that the simplified version of universal health insurance was not really launched until Ao Xiaohei came to power in later generations, and Johnson would definitely not.

Overall, Your Excellency, I have to strike you down. Strictly speaking, this universal health insurance plan is to raise taxes on the rich by a large margin, and take money from the wallets of the rich to subsidize the poor. It will definitely lead to the opposition of all the rich.

The implementation of this huge plan needs to be passed by Congress. Now that the Republicans in Congress are dominant, your plan may not be passed in Congress.

Johnson's face darkened.

Indeed, as Hardy said, now that the Republicans in Congress have a majority, this plan of his own harms the interests of many people, and I am afraid it will be difficult to pass.

And not only that, other reform proposals proposed by him in the future may also be strongly obstructed by the Republican Party.

Even if you are re-elected, life will not be easy.

Is there no other way? Johnson asked, frowning.

Hardy shrugged, I'm not a politician, and I'm definitely not as comprehensive as you are, but I've heard a story of 'boiled frogs in warm water', you don't have to do it one step at a time, just take it slowly, you won't be able to finish it this time. , to future presidents to lay a foundation for them.

What do you propose?

The limited universal medical insurance plan, the federal government takes part of the financial expenditure, the local state government provides part of the financial subsidies, and then let the people pay part of the insurance premiums themselves, and the tripartite combination purchases insurance. Of course, this insurance cannot pay in full. It can only be done. Up to limited reimbursement according to a certain percentage, there is still a maximum amount.”

With the financial support from the federal government and the state government, residents only need to pay a small part to obtain a limited medical insurance, which can also solve a large part of the problem. Although it is impossible to achieve the perfection you said, in the end At least there are treatments for minor illnesses, which are easy to promote, and are easy for Congress, insurance companies, and the wealthy to accept.”

After listening to Hardy's words, President Johnson felt enlightened.

Instead of standing still there, it is better to reduce the range and move forward slowly, at least the people will benefit.

Hadi, your proposal is very good. I will have someone carefully study and formulate the plan when I go back. Johnson said with a smile.

The two walked a few steps forward, and Johnson took a puff of his cigar and asked intentionally or unintentionally: By the way, does your Hardy Group have insurance business?

Hardy caught Johnson's message at once.

This can be.

If you can get the government's medical insurance business, this is a huge business. Without the insurance company, Hardy will become a family.

Yes, Hadi Group has insurance business. Hadi said.

President Johnson nodded.

The two continued to chat about other topics.

At this moment, in Hardy's mind, he has already begun to plan how to use this resource to gain greater benefits for himself.

Wells Fargo has insurance business, but it is not large. Bank of America has insurance business, mainly in automobile, life, fire, business and so on.

Ping An Pacific Insurance Company is a large professional insurance company with business coverage across the United States and a complete range of categories, including medical insurance.

Not to mention that medical insurance does not make money, according to the statistics of later generations, the total annual income of the five major medical insurance companies in the United States is higher than the total income of the five major technology giants Apple, Google, Amazon, Netflix, and Facebook.

It can be seen that the earning power of the medical insurance industry.

......

The two returned to the golf course hotel.

Hardy turned on the TV.

Transferred to ABC TV station, which is broadcasting a normal entertainment program at the moment, Johnson was very calm, watching the program with Hardy and chatting about interesting topics.

Waited until 12 o'clock in the evening.

Originally, the ABC TV station would be closed for a rest at this time, but it didn't happen today. Hardy gave them an order to broadcast live 24 hours a day.

This is also the first TV station to carry out 24-hour simulcast since the TV industry, and Hardy once again made history.

in the TV,

The three hosts sat there, chatting non-stop about the election. At the same time, whenever a state was counted, they would immediately broadcast the result.

Many people in the United States who pay attention to the presidential election are all gathered in front of the TV at the moment, watching the results come out bit by bit.

One o'clock.

News came from Georgia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee one after another. Statistics show that Johnson won these five states with a clear advantage.

Dewey took three northern states.

Three o'clock in the morning.

News came again that in the three key populous states of California, Ohio and Michigan, Johnson led by a slight margin.

six o'clock in the morning.

The election results are in full swing.

Johnson won 49.5% of the popular vote and 305 electoral votes, while Dewey won 43.1% of the popular vote and 187 electoral votes.

Johnson won in a landslide, without any suspense.

Of course, there are six other candidates, but they are all poor decimal point values, not worth mentioning.

At this moment, Hardy and Johnson woke up. When they opened their eyes, they saw people on TV congratulating Johnson for his re-election. There was a large crowd of cheering crowds gathered in front of the White House early on.

Congratulations, Your Excellency President, you still have to work for this country for four more years. Hadi congratulated with a smile.

Thank you Hardy.

Johnson hugged Hardy and patted him hard on the shoulder.

Only he knew how difficult it was for Johnson before. No one supported him, no one hurt him. The approval ratings in the polls always hovered around the 20s and 30s. improved.

Johnson returns to the White House.

Tens of thousands of people gathered at the gate of the White House at the moment, and many held signs supporting Johnson's re-election. When the president's special car drove over, people flocked to congratulate him. Johnson smiled and waved to the crowd.

In the east, a certain bald man received the news that President Johnson had won the re-election. His face was very ugly. He walked slowly to the sand table, preparing for the next big battle.

2 p.m.

On the White House lawn, President Johnson held a small press conference.

This is not an inaugural speech. The president's inaugural speech will be held on Capitol Hill until January 20 next year. Now it is just a press conference. I will simply express my emotions and let the public see the president's joy.

The press conference will still be broadcast exclusively on ABC.

According to statistics, there are more than 30 million people in the United States watching Johnson's speech in front of the TV.

Johnson walked to the speech table, and there were several rows of seats behind him, on which sat dozens of dignitaries and celebrities, including the Speaker of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Chief of Staff, Vice President Barkley and other officials, as well as celebrities in the business world.

Hardy sat at the first place in the business seat, which was very conspicuous.

During President Johnson's speech, after the ABC camera gave the President, it pushed to the back of the VIP seats, and after sweeping through the crowd, it deliberately stayed on Hardy's face for several seconds. Hardy always looked forward with a smile on his face Somewhat profound.

Many Americans know him.

Jon Hardy, owner of Hardy Group, is only 27 years old this year.

Many people know that President Johnson's re-election this time can be said to be caused by Hardy. Even if some people know that it is not 100% of Hardy's credit, they must admit that he played an extremely important role in this election.

When the California consortium Giannini saw Hardy on TV, he sighed softly, He was bet on by him. What a great young man, his future doesn't stop there.

When the heads of other big financial groups saw Hardy, they all took a serious look and remembered Hardy's appearance in their minds. They knew that with Johnson as a political backer in the next four years, this young man would definitely be like a duck to water.

With Hadi, the two sides minimize conflicts and increase cooperation opportunities.

It is human nature to be with red and white. Now that Hardy is red, they naturally have to avoid his edge, and even try to win over. This is the most correct way of life.

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships.

The presidents and managers of the various companies in the Hardy Group were proud to see the boss sitting in that position, and they admired the boss for his greatness. More importantly, they were more confident and more confident in the future development.

When Marilyn Monroe saw Hardy, she immediately thought of the full feeling that she was caught by a man that night, and trembled unconsciously.

To be honest, powerful men make her intoxicated.

In the outside world, there are also more rumors that Jon Hardy is the man standing behind the president.
