Chapter 1230: Left and Right Convergence
1. Wei Lan's suggestion made Li Mu's time suddenly brighten.
If according to his temper, since the White House wants to prevent him from meeting with Kerry, then he wants to meet him, so that his wishful thinking will fail, if nothing else, Li Mu does not want to let himself become a pawn of others at will.
However, it is precisely like Wei Lan's analysis that if he really has a long time with the White House, it may not be of any benefit to him, after all, even if he cooperates with Kerry, Kerry may not be 100% elected, even if he can, but from the preparation for the election to the actual inauguration, the White House is still the manager of the country during this period.
I am shaving food in other people's territory, even if I am not polite to the other party, it is not easy to be tense, and my arms can't twist my thighs after all.
What's more, the left and right are the ancient wisdom of the Chinese ancestors in the multi-party relationship, and it is the best choice for the current self.
According to what Wei Lan said, on the one hand, he stabilized Kerry in private and gave him hope, and on the other hand, he gave the White House a smooth push on the surface, if you want me to leave early, then I will leave early, you are satisfied, I am happy, you are good and I am good.
After making up her mind, Li Mu immediately found Li Ziwei and said to her: "Ziwei, you go and communicate with the captain now, we will take off on time at seven o'clock, and let someone come to my room with Wei Lan, help us pack our luggage and send it to the airport to go through the security check first, and then communicate with the interface person on Kerry's side, and say that I will go directly to his room to visit him in five minutes." ”
Li Ziwei nodded and said, "Then I'll do it." ”
Li Mu looked at his watch and said to Wei Lan: "It's four fifty o'clock, let's go up together in five minutes, chat with him for fifteen minutes, and then leave for the airport." ”
Wei Lan smiled and said, "Let's talk for fifteen minutes...... Kerry is afraid that he is very depressed, and he came all the way to talk to you for a long time, and as a result, you gave people a time to exercise between classes. ”
Li Mu said: "This is not the idea you gave me, I really talked to him all night on impulse." ”
Wei Lan said: "It's really annoying the White House, it's never a good thing for you, if the White House says that your YY is suspected of stealing American user information and getting a bunch of people to check your YY, what should you do?"
Li Mu pouted: "I know, you're right, you're right." ”
……
Kerry knew that Li Mu might not want to see him so much, otherwise he would not have been able to give himself only an hour to meet, he had to know that he had flown all the way, with a range of more than 3,000 kilometers, and the one-way flight time alone was almost four and a half hours.
However, even if Li Mu doesn't want to meet with himself, he must try it, even if he uses a hot face to stick a cold ass, he must give it a try, after all, Li Mu's influence is too great, if he gets his support, it will be of great help to his election next year, with such powerful promotion resources as YY, the campaign funds alone can save a lot of money, if it can imperceptibly affect the judgment of the American people, the winning rate will inevitably increase.
Based on this mentality, Kerry was ready to be snubbed in front of Li Mu, even if it was to meet Li Mu later, he subconsciously waited for Li Mu's call, and then went to Li Mu's room to meet him.
Just thinking like this, a staff member in charge of contacting Li Ziwei knocked on the door and came in, and said to Kerry excitedly: "Mr. Kerry, Li Mu said that he will come to see you in five minutes." ”
Kerry was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses before asking, "Li Mu wants to come over?"
"Yes. The other party nodded and said, "I will come up in five minutes, if you are inconvenient for the time being, I can tell the other side to postpone it." ”
"No need!" Kerry hurriedly stood up and said, "You hurry up and reply, just say I'm here for you." ”
The staff left, Kerry's mood suddenly became excited, and Li Mu took the initiative to visit his room, which was a very favorable signal!
Three minutes later, Li Mu and Wei Lan came to the door of Kerry's room together, and when Li Mu rang the doorbell, he thought that it must be Kerry's accompanying staff who opened the door, but he didn't expect that it was Kerry himself who opened the door.
The first moment Kerry saw Li Mu, he stretched out his hand very gentlemanly and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Li Mu, it's a pleasure to see you!"
Li Mu had seen Kerry on TV before, but he didn't expect that he was much more photogenic than on TV, and he was very generous, and his appearance was much higher than that of this president.
Li Mu shook hands with him and smiled politely: "It's my honor." ”
After speaking, Li Mu turned to introduce Wei Lan to him and said, "This is Wei Lan, my girlfriend. ”
Wei Lan didn't expect Li Mu to introduce himself as his girlfriend so bluntly, and he was a little flustered in his heart, he originally thought that Li Mu would never be able to introduce himself to others like this, but he didn't expect him to introduce himself so directly to a presidential candidate, which was really undreamable.
Moreover, Wei Lan was also instinctively a little worried, after all, his relationship with Li Mu could not be made public, would Li Mu say this, would it affect him?
Li Mu didn't have this worry, if Kerry gossiped around like an ordinary person, then he would not have gossiped to this position today, even if he failed to become president in his previous life, but at least he was a secretary of state, such a person has a very accurate grasp of how to deal with the information he receives.
Kerry had learned some information about Li Mu before he came, and in the party he was in, there was a detailed introduction to Li Mu, including Li Mu's girlfriend Su Yingxue in Huaxia, Kerry had also seen her photos and knew that he was not alone with Wei Lan.
However, Kerry was not too surprised by this, a person like Li Mu, a few more girlfriends was too easy for him to understand, so there was nothing to make a fuss about, but this released some good signals: at least Li Mu was very honest with himself.
So Kerry hurriedly invited the two into the room, and sat down in the living room of the room, his staff had already prepared black tea, and Kerry invited the two to sit down, and poured tea for the two of them himself.
After Li Mu sat down, he first said sincerely in a very apologetic tone: "Mr. Kerry, I'm really sorry, the news just came from the airport that our plane is going to face flow control, so it must take off at seven o'clock, otherwise it will be delayed for more than 24 hours, and I am still in a hurry to rush back to Huaxia to deal with some important matters, so our original one-hour meeting time may have to be compressed to fifteen minutes." ”
As soon as Li Mu's words came out, Kerry immediately sniffed out the unusualness.
Li Mu may not know the United States, but Kerry really knows too much.
Civil aviation in the United States, there is very little flow control, now the weather in Los Angeles is sunny, there is no rain, snow and fog, even the wind is very mild, the visibility is extremely high, such weather, what else can flow control?
Moreover, the first-class control is 24 hours, which is even more impossible, if there is really such a big thing, this kind of thing would have been in the news a long time ago.
So, Kerry guessed almost instantaneously that this must be behind the White House's manipulation.
Although he was very cautious when he came today, it seems that he still can't hide it from the White House.
Kerry was a little irritable, if the White House also came in to compete with him for Li Mu's resources, then it would be difficult for him to have a chance to persuade Li Mu to cooperate with him.
Moreover, from now on, Li Mu only has fifteen minutes, and what can he explain in fifteen minutes?
If you want Li Mu to support your election and use his resources to help you run for election, you must first explain your political position to him, and then tell Li Mu about his current campaign preparations, which states he has innate advantages, The approximate probability of winning his own election, and then analyze with Li Mu the shortcomings of this White House, as well as if he can enter the White House, his own operation mode and governing philosophy, if Li Mu is interested, he will give him a little bit of pie, and promise that if he agrees to help, after he succeeds in the election, what kind of reward will he give him at what level.
This is an extremely informative task, and fifteen minutes is simply not possible.
And Kerry also knows very well that he will definitely not be able to keep Li Mu, since the White House has taken action, and the airport has also said that it is a flow control for 24 hours, it will be too difficult for him to control such a long time, if Li Mu chats with him for an hour, and as a result, people from the White House will come over to talk to Li Mu tomorrow?
Kerry's expression couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and it seemed that this time his desire to win by surprise had been disappointed again.
But the only thing that made Kerry feel a little relieved was Li Mu's apologetic attitude, Li Mu's expression and tone were very sincere now, and he could see that he was really embarrassed, which also proved that he could still get some attention from the other party in front of Li Mu.
At this time, Li Mu said again: "Mr. Kerry, although the time for this interview has been compressed a lot, we can leave each other a contact information, and many things do not have to be interviewed, telephone, email or YY are fine. ”
Saying that, Li Mu also nodded intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "The security of the phone and email is not too high, I will leave you a YY number, if there is anything more important, you can contact me on YY at any time, text, voice or video." ”
Kerry, who was originally full of disappointment, suddenly came to his senses, and listened to Li Mu's words with his political sensitivity, and instantly felt that the meaning expressed in these words was very ambiguous, Li Mu said that the security of the phone and email was not high, did he know what he wanted to talk to him about? And he signaled that he could contact him through YY, so does this mean that he very much wants to communicate with himself on this topic in depth?
Li Mu struck while the iron was hot at this time: "If Mr. Kerry has YY, it is best to register a new number and then add me with a new number." ”
This sentence was even more thorough, Kerry suddenly came to his senses, the haze just now was swept away, he nodded very excitedly, and said with a smile: "I know Mr. Li, don't worry, I will definitely add you!"
Li Muda smiled meaningfully and said: "Mr. Kerry, there is an idiom in China called the wall has ears, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I think I still won't stay with you for too long, let's talk about all serious things on YY!"
Kerry nodded very clearly and said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk." ”
Li Mu smiled slightly, looked at the time, and it was only five minutes after he sat down, if he ended his meeting with Kerry now, the White House would definitely put his heart back in his stomach.
So, Li Mu stood up and said to Kerry: "Mr. Kerry, I'm really sorry this time, because I have to catch a plane, so I'll go first!"
Kerry nodded understandingly: "Okay, I wish Mr. Li a smooth journey!"
