In his rare free time, Gao Xian likes to chat with the funny Jean cletti. After all, he is the former finance minister of Canada and can always reveal some information that interests him.
In fact, Jean Chretien is very unhappy in his position as finance minister. Because in the cabinet with Pierre Trudeau as prime minister, Jean Chretien belongs to an "executor"; As for national economic policy, it was Pierre Trudeau and his advisers who made decisions.
Yi Huirong, who is already a senior member of the Canadian free travel party, once told Gao Xian about one thing.
At last year's G7 summit, West German Prime Minister Helmut Schmidt, who has a close personal relationship with Pierre Trudeau, held extensive discussions on how the Canadian Liberal Party won the general election in 1979, that is, this year, and gave an experienced proposal, that is, to sharply reduce fiscal expenditure in response to criticism of the high fiscal deficit of the government.
Pierre Trudeau adopted this proposal and decided to cut the fiscal expenditure by 2 billion. As a result, the media knew the news faster than Jean Chretien, the Minister of finance. As a result, they were unprepared and lost face when facing reporters' questions.
What's more embarrassing is that foreign dignitaries like Helmut Schmidt think he is not a member of Pierre Trudeau's core circle.
If the Canadian Liberal Party had not lost this year's general election, which led to the dissolution of Pierre Trudeau's cabinet, Jean Chretien, who was dissatisfied with his being a "tool man", would most likely have offered his resignation to express his dissatisfaction.
Listening to Jean Chretien, who is thinking of becoming Pierre Trudeau's successor, he often steals a joke from time to time, complains without trace, laughs and doesn't speak. The competition in the Canadian free travel party is still very fierce.
However, Pierre Trudeau's status is irreplaceable at present. One of the evidences is that after the Canadian free travel party lost this year's general election, Pierre Trudeau, who is to blame, decided to simply resign from the position of party leader, but was elected to continue to lead the Canadian free travel party and fight in the house of Commons.
Vancouver's affairs have fallen behind for a while. Gao Xian invited Jean Chretien to go with him, get on a plane and come to Toronto, more than 4000 kilometers away, and continue to be a guest.
Like Jean Chretien, Yi Huirong was in a state of "unemployment" in terms of government affairs with the collapse of Pierre Trudeau's cabinet, which also gave Miss Yi peace of mind.
Accompanied by Yi Huirong, there are more topics about the Canadian free party.
His family knows his own affairs, and Jean Chretien is well aware of the series of policies adopted by Pierre Trudeau's cabinet to deal with the high unemployment rate, inflation and government deficit. It is appropriate to describe them as ineffective. Otherwise, the Canadian Liberal Party will not lose this year's election.
Under such circumstances, Jean Chretien is quite confused about when the Canadian Liberal Party can regain power.
After listening to the discussion for a while, Gao Xian looked at a gap and said, "I don't think it's necessary to be so pessimistic."
"Over the years, I have traveled to many places, and I have a lesson that, although the specific conditions of different places are different, the solutions are often very similar."
"Take the world oil crisis this year as an example. Many places have begun to levy gasoline taxes to deal with it."
"The current cabinet is a minority coalition, so it is particularly dangerous to submit the budget plan to the house of Commons. If the proposal for a new gasoline tax is forced by the pressure of the world oil crisis, it is very likely to turn over. It may be distrusted by the house of Commons and trigger a new election."
Jean Chretien, who has been plagued by his becoming a "tool man" recently, heard a bright light, "Sir Gao's analysis is very reasonable. Now the cabinet really wants to break through in the house of Commons for the budget plan, and there is a great chance of being overturned."
Jean Chretien thought more and more reasonable, so he began to feel a little restless.
Seeing this, Gao Xian stopped detaining him and sent Jean Chretien out, so that he could run to Pierre Trudeau, the political magnate, and continue to act as a "tool man".
Yi Huirong yawned lazily and joked, "sure enough, men are more interested in official career."
"Jean Chretien, who can only tell the connotation but can't spell his beauty, won't be able to stand out without making more efforts." Gao Xian shrugged. "I think he's interpreting a very inspirational story."
Yi Huirong asked curiously, "you won't appreciate Jean Chretien for no reason, will you?"
"Jean Chretien can be called a golden elixir in the free swimming party. He is put in various positions by Pierre Trudeau, which is a very valuable wealth in life." Gao Xian said leisurely: "it is easier for the talker to attract attention, but the doer can become an evergreen tree in the political world."
Yi Huirong said thoughtfully, "so, do you think Jean Chretien is the most competitive leader of the free swimming party after the Trudeau era?"
Gao Xian smiled. "Being competitive doesn't mean plain sailing. Maybe there are some setbacks waiting to test Jean Chretien."
Yi Huirong nodded, put down the topic and asked, "how long will you stay at home this time?"
"I should stay a few more days." Gao Xian explained while walking with Yi Huirong: "the king of Pahlavi in exile wants to meet me, but it's still very sensitive. I want to ask Nikko to come and consult me."
……
Although nikkson returned to the public view through the documentary nikkson interview funded by Gao Xian, it is still unable to eliminate the adverse impact of the Watergate incident in the United States.
Moreover, the current Carter government's attitude towards Nixon is very cold, and even hinders its plan to visit Australia, so that Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser has to make this arrangement quietly.
Therefore, it is a relaxing trip for niksson, who is currently in New York, to come to Toronto. Anyway, New York is very close to Toronto, even only a fraction of Vancouver in Canada, and the transportation is very convenient.
After receiving nikkson in person, Gao Xian greeted him enthusiastically and said, "Richard, you've been busy writing books, but we haven't seen each other for some time."
Nikkson said happily, "it's better for you to have a good atmosphere here."
After a short chat, Gao Xian turned to the subject and humbly asked his senior adviser, "King Pahlavi, who is in exile, thought of living in a resort invested in San Jose Island, Panama for a period of time and wanted to meet me. Is there any place to avoid?"
Nikkson did not answer immediately, but asked sharply, "can you encounter such a problem? Is there a certain interest relationship with King Pahlavi like David Rockefeller?"
Gao Xian smiled. "When King Pahlavi sat in the Royal Palace in Tehran, we did have an interest relationship; but since King Pahlavi went into exile in Tehran, this interest relationship has lost its foundation."
"Now, I'm mainly due to my habit of loyalty. Seeing that King Pahlavi was displaced and seriously ill, I felt pity. If I can help, I'll help, just ask for peace of mind."
"King Pahlavi is really in trouble now." nikkson took a deep look at Gao Xian. "I heard that when he fled to Morocco, he left Morocco quickly because he found that Moroccans were trying to share his $2 billion assets."
Gao Xian gave a hearty laugh, "if this news is true, then king Pahlavi is a moving golden mountain, which is expected to make many people who have a heart beating."
Nikkson put down the topic and began to analyze for Gao Xian: "the Carter administration has abandoned King Pahlavi. Now the White House is trying to establish friendship with the new Iranian regime, so as to ensure the oil supply there and the strategic geographical position against the Soviet Union, resulting in the delay of King Pahlavi's entry."
"In this case, your contact with King Pahlavi will certainly not be popular with the White House, but it is limited to that."
"I think, for the sake of safety, I can go to see King Pahlavi instead of Sir Gao."
