Grand Hotel, VIP Lounge---

Song Zhichao and Bill Clinton tasted the best Bordeaux red wine together, and the red wine was like a precious water of life under the light.

No one knew that at this time, Bill would meet such a person, a Chinese, or a young Chinese.

It can be said that since the moment Bill Clinton became president, there are not many people who can be treated with such courtesy by him, and it is even more unimaginable to be a young Chinese who has been treated so courteously.

In fact, the reason why Song Zhichao can be so "valued" by Bill is very simple, at the most critical moment of Bill's campaign, Song Zhichao privately supported him, to be precise, sponsored and supported him in terms of money, and that amount is incomparable to many people, a full 30 million US dollars!

A Chinese, when you are about to lose the election, dares to support you with 30 million in one breath to help you participate in the final battle, this unparalleled courage alone makes Bill extremely impressed.

What's more, in Bill's view, it is precisely because of Song Zhichao's $30 million that he was able to turn defeat into victory at the last moment of the campaign, successfully counterattacked, and finally won the victory.

Therefore, in a way, Song Zhichao is equivalent to Bill's benefactor, and the behind-the-scenes hero who pushed him to the presidency of the United States.

For Song Zhichao, of course, he has to be courteous.

"Oh, dear Song, I've heard about what happened to you before--- I'm sorry, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Bill raised his red wine glass to Song Zhichao and apologized with a sincere expression.

The "accident" that Bill Clindu refers to is the previous incident in which Song Zhichao's subordinates Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong clashed with the police.

I didn't expect Washington to be so big, but the news spread quickly, especially in such a short period of time, it reached the ears of Bill, the new president, which shows how sharp the US intelligence agencies are.

Of course, Song Zhichao understands that Bill's words are not in vain, nor is he really concerned about him, there is only one purpose in saying this, to declare his "ability", ---to be precise, Bill Clinton is telling Song Zhichao that he has now become president, and is no longer the candidate Bill who begged his grandfather and grandmother everywhere to participate in the election and begged for funds to sponsor him.

The switch between the two roles of the candidate and the president, Bill did it naturally.

"I'm worried about you, dear Bill--- in fact I'm here today mainly to congratulate you, yes, on your election success, it's as simple as that. Song Zhichao also raised his red wine glass and gestured to Bill Clinton and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your congratulations and thank you for your continued help and support. Bill seemed polite.

The more polite they are, the more they are deliberately distancing themselves from each other.

After all, he is now president--- and he is also the president of the United States, the strongest country in the world.

"That's all as it should be, come, have a drink!" Song Zhichao gestured elegantly and clinked glasses with Bill.

The two of them had their own thoughts, took a sip, and then slowly lowered the wine glass.

"By the way, dear Song, you have given me a lot of help this time, I don't know if I have any place to give back to you--- you know, we Americans have such clear grievances, well, I used this word quite right, right?" Bill said to Song Zhichao with a smile.

Instead of hiding from each other and playing Tai Chi with each other, it is better to be direct and get straight to the point.

Song Zhichao touched his chin with his hand and said with a smile: "Well, since you have spoken, there are really two things that I need your help with." ”

Bill looked like he had expected it, "Please speak up and listen, if I can help you......" In his heart, he was extremely shrewdly calculating how many "human debts" Song Zhichao's 30 million US dollars for supporting him could be converted into them.

"Well, the first thing is that for a long time, the United States has had a lot of restrictions on Chinese investment in American companies and American companies, and I think this restriction is somewhat detrimental to each other's development. In a broad sense, you are engaging in racial discrimination, and in a narrow sense, you will lose many opportunities to help the development of American companies with this kind of selective restriction. ”

Bill looked at Song Zhichao and didn't speak, just listened carefully.

Song Zhichao played with the red wine glass with his hand, groaned and continued: "For example, now I am very interested in a computer company called Microsoft in the United States, by the way, there is also a computer company called Apple Computer Company is also very good, I am ready to invest in them, but after careful study, the United States does not seem to welcome foreign capital like me--- of course, I can borrow the identity of an American to invest, but it will be very troublesome, and the most important thing is that I must stay out of it...... You know, I'm a very power-hungry person, and since I've invested in companies, I like to be involved in running them, so I hope you can help me change this unwritten provision in the future, so that it's only good for you and me, for the United States, and for both companies in the United States, and there's no harm, isn't it?"

Bill Clinton smiled and said: "You're right, dear Song, the United States has always been very strict in controlling technology investment--- you know, now the world is very competitive in science and technology, especially in computer technology, although companies like Microsoft and Apple need a lot of capital investment, but they must also selectively select investors, the reason is very simple, the United States cannot put the highest technology in the hands of outsiders. ”

"Oh God, you mean I'm an outsider?"

"I didn't mean that, but it is. Bill said, "Unless Mr. Song is willing to give up his Chinese nationality and join us in the American Republic, if you ask, I will definitely help you get the green card that everyone dreams of as soon as possible." ”

When Song Zhichao heard this, he smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "There is no need for a green card, I can't change my nationality in order to do business." ”

Bill shrugged in understanding.

Song Zhichao continued: "Then let's do it, I'll settle for the next best thing--- I'll find an agent to help invest in these two companies, what do you think?"

Bill: "Who's your agent, please?"

"Her name is Hong Xueli, she is still in high school, she is Chinese with your American nationality, by the way, her father is also a member of the Los Angeles City Council, how about it, is she suitable?"

Bill was silent.

He never thought that Song Zhichao would propose such a candidate, if this girl is a threat--- she is still a high school student, if she is not a threat, but after all, she is also Chinese.

In terms of identity and background, she is very suitable, her father is a member of the Los Angeles Congress, and she is an important member of the government, and she also has American nationality.

"Dear Song, I'm just curious, is this something you thought about a long time ago?"

Song Zhichao smiled and replied, "Yes." Then he said in Chinese, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different!"

Of course, Bill didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and if he knew, he would have known why Song Zhichao suggested this.

Since he didn't understand, Bill nodded generously: "Okay, then let her be your representative, and you can invest in Microsoft and Apple." Although Bill doesn't know why Song Zhichao chose these two companies, but people have money --- rich people's investment interests, and he, a politician, doesn't understand.

"Thank you very much!" Song Zhichao said with a smile.

For a long time, the United States has been extremely strict in guarding against the penetration of domestic science and technology, especially in software development, and even more so to prevent the injection of foreign funds. Especially in the future, because of China's strong rise, the United States is even more worried, in addition to preventing Chinese from investing in their major domestic science and technology projects, but also to carry out various containment and blockade of China's super new technology, the most famous of which is to ban the excellent Chinese mobile phone brand --- Hua W.

However, it is the early 90s, China's strength is not so strong, especially in science and technology is still very backward, so Americans do not pay much attention to Chinese--- to be precise, full of contempt for Chinese, thinking that they are high, feeling that they are God, Chinese are primitive people, and they are still in the primitive society of science and technology.

In addition, Song Zhichao very tactfully used the little-known little girl "Hong Xueli" as an "agent", and invested in Microsoft and Apple in her name, which made Americans further remove their vigilance--- after all, a little girl who is not very old, her father is still a member of the Los Angeles Congressman, and there should be no moths.

Relying on these two points, Song Zhichao is ready to use money to infiltrate Microsoft and Apple, just like Son Masayoshi of SoftBank Group in his previous life used money to invest and infiltrate Alibaba, taking the lead in seizing the opportunity and drawing a big pie.

Where does Bill know this, he doesn't have front and back eyes, and he doesn't have the golden finger of an "unpredictable prophet" like Song Zhichao, and at this moment he asked Song Zhichao with a smile: "Oh yes, dear Song, you just said that there are two things, so what about the second thing?"

When Song Zhichao heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and with a clanging sound, he gently knocked his fingers on the red wine glass he was playing with--- and the big-bellied glass made a pleasant sound.

"The second thing is actually very simple, I hope you can do a favor tomorrow. ”

Bill: "......"

Song Zhichao: "A big favor!"

The smile is weird and meaningful.
