Chapter 1632 Punching DC Nursing Home, kicking Congress Kindergarten
"puff--"

"Why should I pay back the money I borrowed with my own ability now?"
As soon as this sentence with some rogue logic came out, the audience was in an uproar, and the American people in front of the TV even directly criticized it.
The people across the United States were watching the hearing at this time, all of whom looked extremely strange and looked at the TV in a daze. Andy looked serious and righteous. I didn't know that I really thought that it was his ability to borrow money, just like everyone has worked hard to earn...
“Geeh…”
Ivana looked at her man's serious nonsense, laughing so hard that her branches trembled. She trembled with an exaggerated magnitude. Those who didn't know thought it was an earthquake.
The other women had different expressions and laughed. It seemed that it was not very surprising to the men they were familiar with that shameless rogue logic.
At this moment, including the hearing scene and the American people in front of the TV, they were confused and suddenly felt that this sounded so reasonable!
Well, the reason why it is rogue is not that rogue is in this logic, but that logic is penetrated into the sentence, and the focus is on deforming the meaning of "borrowing" by "using one's own ability".
This is the pit.
The other eight giants on the long table looked at Andy with extremely strange eyes, and then when they thought of anything, they covered their mouths with their hands, looking down and thoughtful. However, if they looked closely, their shoulders kept shaking and their uncomfortable expressions on their faces could be seen that if they could, they would definitely laugh out loud.
Andy's words simply reached their hearts.
Yes, why should we pay back the money we borrow based on our own abilities?
Facing the chuckles and whispers in the audience and press seats behind him, the laughter of the giants around him, and the black faces of the members of the hearing committee, Andy looked like why you were looking at me like this, was I wrong? He shrugged innocently and spread his hands to express his honesty.
The high-ranking House Financial Services Committee cannot respond to the defense of these bankers with enough expertise. Andy is not the other eight executives. He will use an extremely "humble" attitude to gain understanding and pretend to be a grandson. When he used the financial crisis to make money, he was ready to deal with the situation today.
This was originally a criticism and struggle meeting full of secular venting. The members present may not really care about the financial crisis. Not to mention it, they are all indignant now, as if they are trying the evil alliance on behalf of justice. So, what did these members who are willing to verbally punish others do at the beginning of the financial crisis?
Especially in more than an hour before the hearing, the expert consulting team conducted a "quick training" for Andy, such as how to adjust the rhythm of the answer, if the person asked suddenly interrupted and how to respond, he must not apologize, and whether it is better to expose some golden sentences to increase the public's favorability, etc. The expert consulting team strives to make Andy a humble, easy-going, straightforward, and neither humble nor arrogant.
In the words of the expert team, apologize only if you do something wrong. Andy has no mistakes, and once you apologize, you will inevitably bear certain responsibilities.
This hearing was a criticism meeting full of anger and blame, and it could also be an image public relations.
This "small episode" triggered by Andy still cannot stop the storm-like venting and criticism of the members of the parliamentary committee during the entire hearing.
The financial crisis has caused the US economy to fall into a serious recession and the unemployment rate remains high. The American people are generally dissatisfied with the crisis caused by excessive speculation of banks and other financial institutions. At the same time, the American people are full of complaints and anger at the issuance of high salaries in financial institutions after receiving government assistance.
“According to the regulatory filings submitted, we can see that in 2006 and 2007 alone, your eight CEOs received a total of $401 million in salary. The total market value of your respective companies has fallen by 69% since the Dow Jones peaked in October 2007.
I would like to ask you all, why do you have the nerve to take away so much salary? Even in 2008, you also have a generous salary, so why do you still have to get an extra bonus? While you are receiving government assistance, you continue to receive high salaries, the American people are indignant of "the right"."
The chairman of the committee, Phil, looked ugly, stared at the ceo people at the long table below with anger, and watched them perform with their hands pinching their cheeks, covering their foreheads and showing bitter faces, and scolded them sternly.
Faced with the most concerning issues among the American people, these financial giants could not avoid them and responded to them.
Bank of America Lewis apologized to admit that the banking industry caused a lot of losses in the financial crisis. "We thank taxpayers for their assistance... Understand why they are angry, but most of the bank's employees do not play a role in the economic crisis and should not accept salary cuts..."
mg Chase said that most employees had accepted "significant salary cuts" in 2008, but the company will continue to pay salaries in a compliance manner to attract and retain top talents...
John, CEO of mg Stanley, said that mg Stanley is reforming the salary system to curb "over-risk behavior". At the same time, he did not forget to say that he did not receive the bonus in 2009, which caused a burst of cynicism among lawmakers.
"Mr. Smith, you allocated a total of $2 billion in 2008 bonuses to your employees, with an average of $161,000 per person, but the proportion of senior staff is relatively high. There are 70 employees in the highest vocational positions, each of which receives at least $10 million. Do you have any explanation?"
A donkey party member from New York State took out the materials he had and questioned Andy, who had been calm and composed.
When she exposed the dollar figures, it caused an uproar at the scene, and the people in front of the TV were even more shocked.
So proud!
This is the real tycoon. Being so generous to his employees is definitely a good boss.
"How do I want to spend my money? Do I need the consent of others?" Andy asked with a smile, looking at the other party's bad sex and wanted to continue asking. Andy shrugged and said, "If you really want to give a reason, it is that it provides them with special motivation to help the company solve problems."
"Puchi--"
"hehe..."
The group of Wall Street elites dressed in Wall Street sitting behind Andy couldn't help but chuckle. There was also a smile at the hearing. The Americans once again saw Andy Smith's golden venomous snake attributes, and they really had a good attitude to criticize others.
Isn't it? What else can add more motivation to work than US dollars!
At the next hearing, Andy Smith was like transforming into a baseball Golden Boy and was welcomed with one soft and weak serve after another, and the red roars against Andy seemed to be more suitable for kindergarten.
"The nine people here and eight of them have private jets, why don't you sell them?"
"Sorry, Mr. Congressman, private jet travel is very convenient, and I am not short of money!" Andy said with his big eyes blinking.
“Tax the banking industry…”
"Sorry, Senator, it's a bad idea to use tax policies to punish, which only makes all companies tend to pass on their costs to their customers," Andy persuaded with a serious expression.
“I hope all of you promise to implement de facto deferred payments,” said the MP in charge of the Supervisory Office of the Savings Agency, indignant and tough. “During this period, if someone’s house is foreclosed, it will be unforgivable. I ask each of you to suspend redemption before receiving funding from the Ministry of Finance.”
"I refuse, this goes against the market economy that America has chosen to implement since its founding. Freedom and equality are an important part of American values. The free market economic system was established based on this value.
Mr. Senator, your request reminds me of Marx…”
Wow—
Both the hearing scene and the audience in front of the TV were in an uproar. No one expected that an evil alliance was originally a relief to the American people, and the evil alliance was questioned mercilessly. The mocking "criticism meeting" completely turned into a fierce confrontation of verbal guns and swords.
What impressed everyone the most during the entire hearing was that in the face of every time he was questioned, Andy Smith had a "humble and honest" attitude to show his superb financial wisdom, easily counterattacked and highlighted the unprofessionality of the members of the parliament.
This also made the column comments of major newspapers mercilessly sarcastically ruthlessly at the anger of the parliamentarians after the hearing.
