If the male protagonist in the American drama "House of Cards" is compared to a university professor, then Schwarzenegger's political wisdom can barely reach the level of middle school students in front of him.

Li Mu found that although Schwarzenegger was elected governor, it can still be seen from this interview that his seven souls and six souls are still in the entertainment industry.

Stars in the entertainment industry are too good at exposure, and they are too keen on exposure, so they have always put satellites, no matter whether anything is reliable or not, and how big the success rate is, first throw it out to win a wave of eyeballs.

However, a truly wise politician will not blindly pursue the release of satellites, but will judge the hour and size up the situation according to the actual situation, and will never delay the release of those who need to release it early, and will never be anxious to release it later.

In Li Mu's view, Schwarzenegger should not have given Schwarzenegger face and attended his inauguration ceremony, and he should not have been exposed to the public at this time.

First of all, Schwarzenegger's exposure that he can't wait to expose now does make Li Mu feel a little uncomfortable, because he feels that he has become a kind of capital for Schwarzenegger to brag about and raise his value in front of the media.

Secondly, in Li Mu's view, even if he is a heavyweight guest, Schwarzenegger should not be exposed in advance at this time, early exposure only increases people's expectations, but covering the secret can make everyone stunned at a critical moment, and the latter is obviously more impactful than the former.

This is like the first atomic bomb in China that year, after the explosion was voluntarily announced to the world, which brought a huge shock to the West, on the contrary, if we were to clamor everywhere in advance to prepare for the test explosion of a nuclear bomb, not to mention how big the shock would be, I am afraid that I dare not think about how much trouble it will cause.

Li Mu saw this issue relatively thoroughly, if Schwarzenegger can bring certain benefits to himself, the superficial relationship must at least continue to be stable, after all, he will be in charge of California for eight years; if the interests are not satisfied, he will gradually distance himself and slowly cut off contact.

On the night of the second day of Schwarzenegger's election, Spielberg, Anne Hathaway and other Hollywood actors and crews left Huaxia on an Air China Boeing 747, and Li Mu prepared to depart from Huaxia two days before Schwarzenegger's inauguration ceremony.

The Gulfstream G550 that Chen Ze bought for Li Mu had already been purchased, and Li Mu bought it to meet the needs of traveling to and from the United States and Europe.

Because Schwarzenegger leaked Li Mu's itinerary in advance, Li Mu has been receiving inquiries from various media in the past few days before going to the United States, and even many American media want to take the opportunity to ask Li Mu to conduct a face-to-face interview.

Li Ziwei excitedly conveyed the news to Li Mu, and said happily: "Mr. Li, no one of us Chinese Internet entrepreneurs has ever appeared on the cover of this weekly!"

Li Mu frowned slightly and asked her, "Is it the American version or the Asian version?"

Li Ziwei blurted out: "American version." ”

Li Mu has the impression that Baidu's Boss Li once appeared on the cover of "Time Magazine", but it seems to be the Asian version.

The influence of "Time Magazine" is indeed very large, and being invited to be the cover character is indeed a precious honor for Li Mu, but he himself is not very interested.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Li Mu is now famous to the extreme, there is no need to grab a copy of "Time Magazine" too seriously, so Li Mu said to Li Ziwei: "My trip to the United States this time has been fully arranged, I don't have time to accompany them to do an interview, if they want to use me as a cover, I can authorize them to take a photo with my parents on my third birthday, as for the interview, forget it, whatever they want to write, let them play freely." ”

Li Ziwei said in surprise: "Mr. Li, this is "Time Magazine"! You can't treat it so hastily, how many people dream of being on the cover of "Time Magazine", this is a good opportunity for you to publicize, and it is also a great honor!"

Li Mu said with a smile: "Are you stupid, in terms of information delivery capabilities, "Time Magazine" can compare with us? ”

After that, Li Mu said again: "Okay, don't take Time Magazine too seriously, if they think I am heavy enough to be on their cover, let them write what they write, I don't care, but I won't take the time to cooperate with them to conduct an interview, we don't need a copy of Time Magazine to raise our value." ”

Li Ziwei stuck out her tongue and said, "Then you can just pick a photo of you who is more handsome and give it to them, such as the photo of you when you gave a speech at Harvard, I think there are many snapshots that are very good." ”

Li Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone chooses the photo they are most satisfied with on the cover, and I am the same, what I am most satisfied with is not one of my own snapshots, or the birthday photo I took with my parents when I was three years old." ”

Saying that, Li Mu picked up his wallet from the desk and took out an old photo that was a little yellowed, this photo was taken in the old photo studio, Li Mu was wearing a small sweater knitted by his mother, holding a bouquet of plastic flowers provided by the photo studio, his parents squatted beside him respectively, and the two of them supported his waist and back on the left and right.

The upper right corner of the photo is also written in gilded words: "Li Mu's third birthday commemoration" These small words, the gilding strokes have been a little natural mottled.

Li Mu handed the photo to Li Ziwei and said: "Look, this photo is so commemorative, there are me, my parents, and our landmark building Tiananmen Square, and if you look closely, you can see the fluttering five-star red flag." ”

Li Ziwei stared at the photo for a long time, and sighed sincerely: "Godfather and godmother were really talented and beautiful when they were young. ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "The appearance is very good." ”

Li Ziwei snorted, then thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, on the American edition of Time Magazine, is your photo a little too strong in local style?"

Li Mu smiled indifferently: "In their eyes, in addition to having money, what can interest them is not the exotic customs of me as a Chinese?

Li Ziwei pursed her lips and smiled, seeing that Li Mu was very persistent, she had to nod and say, "Okay, I'll reply to them first and see what they think." ”

Li Mu instructed: "By the way, you tell them that it doesn't matter how the content is written, but there is one thing that must be eliminated." ”

"You say, I'll pass it on to them. ”

Li Mu said: "Don't say that I am God's favor, or God bless, tell them that I am a staunch atheist." ”

……

Felix, the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine, was a little unhappy with Time Warner's decision to put Li Mu on the cover of the American edition of Time Magazine.

In Felix's opinion, Li Mu is indeed a very powerful character, but this guy is a white supremacist racist at heart, and he has a strong prejudice against Huaxia and even yellow people.

He never thought that he would let Li Mu appear on the cover of the American edition of Time Magazine that he was responsible for, but he didn't expect that the senior management of Time Warner directly called him and asked him to position Li Mu on the cover of the next issue.

Felix protested and proposed to give the handsome pot to the editorial department of the Asian edition of Time Magazine in Hong Kong, in his opinion, Li Mu is Asian anyway, and it is natural for him to go on the cover of the Asian edition.

However, the senior management of Time Warner did not give him any chance to refute, on the contrary, they also gave him a death order, demanding that Li Mu be arranged for the next issue.

Felix realized that the intentions of the higher-ups were strong, so he sent someone to send an email to Li Mu's assistant, that is, Li Ziwei, and get in touch.

Felix originally thought that when Li Mu heard the news, he would definitely agree without hesitation, because this was an absolute honor for any Chinese entrepreneur.

In Felix's view, so far, no Chinese entrepreneur has been able to appear on the cover of Time Magazine, and Japan, which is not far from China, is only an entrepreneur who has accumulated many years of fame in the West, such as Panasonic founder Konosuke Matsushita and SONY founder Akio Morita who has accumulated fame in the West, has such an opportunity.

Just thinking like this, his assistant ran over to report and said, "Mr. Felix, Li Mu's personal assistant spoke to me on the phone just now, and she said that Li Mu can appear on our cover, but there are a few requirements. ”

Felix snorted coldly and said, "Let him be on the cover, he still has requirements?"

The assistant nodded and said embarrassedly: "Li Mu specified the photo he took with his parents when he was three years old, and also said that if we want him to be on the cover, we must use this photo." ”

"What a stinking shit!" Felix sneered, "So far, I haven't heard of an adult who would use a childhood photo to be featured in Time magazine." ”

The assistant said helplessly: "Also, Li Mu said that he doesn't accept any interviews, so if we want to write about him, we can only support ourselves." ”

"Don't accept interviews?!

The assistant nodded and said, "What Li Ziwei means is that we can play freely, as long as we don't deliberately smear and attack Li Mu, it's no problem." ”

After that, he remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, and one last point, Li Mu said that he is an atheist, so when we write his content, we can't have God ......."
