Chapter 1220

Hollywood celebrities, the foreign Democratic Party, just like the villagers on the Weishan Lake to the railway guerrillas, the whole Hollywood has always been the iron ticket warehouse of the Democratic Party, so Spielberg attaches great importance to Kerry's entrustment. He also hopes that Li Mu can establish a good relationship with Kerry after meeting with him, and give it to him in the upcoming election next year If Kerry can become the next president of the United States, it will be a great blessing for him.

In order to make sure that Kerry can meet with Li Mu before he leaves, Spielberg specially confirms the time with Li Mu repeatedly, and Li Mu, who is eager to return home, suddenly becomes the more powerful man. He thinks over and over again, and is unwilling to stay for Kerry in the United States for another day, so he gives Spielberg his final reply: "Steven, if Mr. Kerry really wants to talk to me To meet you, please ask him to meet me here at 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The meeting time can't exceed two hours, because my plane will take off tomorrow evening and return home. "

Spielberg's tentative suggestion: "can you put off the take-off for a few hours? It would be great if we could have dinner together. "

Li Mu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Steven, you know, my time is very urgent. I've been in the United States for many days, and there are many things waiting for me to deal with in China. Besides, you know, I'm not interested in politics, and my attitude has always been far away from politics. This time, if it wasn't for your sake, I would I will not promise to meet you. "

Spielberg nodded softly, and when Li Mu was willing to meet Kerry even if he didn't try to persuade him more, he was very grateful.

The reason why I am grateful is that Spielberg himself knows that Kerry is not only a level behind Li Mu. If we use the current strength to measure the two men, Li Mu's score is 100, Kerry can't even get ten.

Generally speaking, the US presidential campaign is not like the Olympic Games. The second best guy in the Olympic Games also has a silver medal and the second reputation in the world. But if he fails in the presidential campaign, it is basically equivalent to the dog with him in American politics. In other words, the presidential campaign is a game of winning and losing. The winners step on the throne and the losers go home to farm 。

takes trump as president of the United States, and it is the business of his own family that failed. Billions of dollars of assets are very rare in the presidential election of the United States. If he takes part in the presidential election, unless he wins the election, his assets will be one of Li Mu's ten points before he wins the election. In the future, he may even have hundreds of Li Mu's hundred dollars. None of them. It's a million miles away from Li Mu.

Spielberg is also very clear about Kerry's social influence. Although Kerry is the Democratic presidential candidate, the chances of winning in the next election are not very big. After all, in most cases, the president seeking re-election has more advantages than his competitors. So now Kerry's influence is not big enough, and his rights are not big enough. In Li Mu Such a transnational entrepreneur, even a world-class rich man, is really not a big man.

On the contrary, before Kenai, Li Mu was a big man, a real big man. Li Mu had money, resources and influence. For the presidential candidates, these were all the targets to strive for.

In fact, many presidential candidates have to constantly solicit the help of big people like Li Mu before the election campaign, and ask them to give them enough campaign funds and resources. For such political investment, the candidates will also clearly promise the political return, and explain how to repay each other if they are elected. This is what the American political public has in itself Well known rules.

After Spielberg left Li Mu's Hotel, the first thing he did was call Kerry in his car.

The other side is anxiously waiting for his call back in Washington DC at the moment.

He knew that Spielberg had met with Li Mu more than two hours ago, and that Spielberg would mention his meeting request in this meeting with Li Mu. What he was most worried about now was that Li Mu didn't want to meet him, because he had done his homework before, and Li Mu didn't seem to like to be close to politics.

Although most entrepreneurs like to be close to politics, and in the process of being close to politics, they can get more benefits and convenience, but Li Mu, an entrepreneur who is not close to politics and draws a clear line with politics, still has his unique advantages.

Take American entrepreneurs for example. After every presidential election, the value of American entrepreneurs has skyrocketed or plummeted. These are undoubtedly people close to politics. Their gamblers have a heavy psychology and are mostly in traditional and oligarchic industries. However, those entrepreneurs who are not close to politics, no matter who is elected president, will not suffer from their businesses or their value Interference.

Being more stable and earthquake resistant is the benefit of not being close to politics.

When Spielberg got through, Kerry couldn't help asking anxiously, "Steven, has Li Mu agreed to meet?"

Spielberg said: "Li Mu promised that it would be five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, but he only has two hours to meet you at most. Is the time enough?""Enough, enough!" Kerry said excitedly, "I'm going to prepare for it. I'll fly there tomorrow morning."

Spielberg said, "OK, Mr. Kerry, I'll wait for you in Hollywood."

"Thank you so much this time, Steven!"

"It's my pleasure."

After hanging up, Kerry immediately called his party and excitedly told him, "Mr. Andrew, Li Mu has promised to meet me. I will fly to Los Angeles tomorrow morning!"

"Oh? Li Mu agreed? Glad to hear that. How are you going to Los Angeles? "

"I'm going to ask the Secretary to book a flight for tomorrow morning," Kerry said

"Never!" "It's a sensitive period before the election campaign, and the CIA is watching us. The Bush administration is most concerned about who we met, talked with and asked for help. If you go to Los Angeles by air, they will immediately know that you are going to see Li Mu. If they start to ask for Li Mu's help, we will be too passive, so you go this time You must not let anyone else know when you see Li Mu, not even your secretary. "

Kerry's heart was filled with awe. The party whip was indeed the party whip. He was more cautious than he was.

So Kerry asked him, "Mr. Andrew, what should I do?"

The other said: "except for Spielberg, only the two of us and your wife can know about this. You go back at night and tell your wife to play with you. Tomorrow morning, ask your wife to call your secretary and say that you are not feeling well. You have to rest at home all day. No work is arranged and no visit is accepted. I will arrange a car Pick you up at your house and arrange a private plane to take you to Los Angeles! "

“OK！” Kerry did not hesitate to say: "all at your command."

The other side responded and said: "you know, our election is not very successful, far less than 50%, so Li Mu is very important to our election. His influence is too strong, and his information delivery ability is too strong. If he can support you, our victory will be much greater, more than 50%. So you must communicate with Li Mu well, as long as he is willing to help, After your election, we can provide him with enough policy facilities. "

Speaking of this, the other side reminded: "Li Mu is a very patriotic person, you must properly convey your good feeling for China, and promise that if you can be elected in the future, you will introduce a variety of policies to promote the trade, exchange, education and tourism between China and the United States, and use these to impress him, I think it will be very effective."

"OK, I wrote it down!"

……

When Elon Musk came to meet Li Mu in the hotel, Spielberg had been away for about half an hour.

Seeing Li Mu, Elon Musk was very close. After shaking hands and hugging for many times, he sat opposite Li Mu and talked about the development of PayPal.

Li Mu doesn't care about PayPal, but when this guy is going to start X-Space and Tesla. So Li Mu asks him, "by the way, what's your X-Space like?"

"Aha..." Elon Musk sheepishly scratched his head: "you know, that's what registration comes to play with. I really want to invest some money to start, but this thing, I want to make it work. There's no way to make it work without a $120 million cash. I originally wanted to sell PayPal's shares, and then cash out to do this. But now PayPal's market value is rising all the way, so Just want to wait and see. "

"I thought you were very aggressive, but I didn't expect you to be trapped by PayPal's shares," said Li Mu, with his mouth curled

"Boss." Elon Musk said innocently, "I really wanted to sell PayPal. Isn't it you who advised me to keep PayPal shares and stay in paypal?"

Li Mu laughs: "at that time, it was a good opportunity for PayPal, but now it seems that the fast lifting period has passed, and then it's a gentle climb. It's impossible to pull faster, so you can think of withdrawing to do something else."

"Is it?" Elon Musk couldn't help asking Li Mu, "boss, are you interested in X-Space? How do you like it when I take out some shares to cash out and then we both invest in this project? "

Li Mu said with a smile, "I don't understand aerospace. You let me vote, but I haven't got the bottom at all."

Elon Musk knew that most rich people would not be interested in investing in aerospace, so he advised Li Mudao: "in fact, you don't lack money, even if you don't understand aerospace, it doesn't matter. If you believe me, it's an angel investment. I think this industry is really promising, and in the process of developing aerospace technology, it can give birth to There are many independent new technologies, and it is very possible for these technologies to be translated into other industries. It is difficult to develop a new flight control system in the aerospace field. In the future, it can be sold to some countries to develop missile flight control or even UAV flight control. Do you think the United States started a UAV squadron last year? The predator is officially in service. "
