After Li Mu and Du Wei successfully completed the customs procedures, they followed Schwarzenegger's motorcade to his villa in Sacramento.

said that it was a villa, but when I arrived, I found that it was actually more appropriate to call it a manor.

The whole villa alone covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters, with almost one-third of the construction area, and the rest is lawn, swimming pool, and various green plants.

There are five parking spaces in the garage alone, and the garage is fully enclosed and can be accessed directly from the garage inside the villa.

Unlike the large estates of the Goldberg family, the estates of the Goldberg families are castles located far from the city, and there are historical reasons for the huge size of the area and the large floor area.

Schwarzenegger's villa here is completely modern and well-designed, and it is more practical than a centuries-old castle.

Compared to here, Li Mu felt that his villa in Ziyun Villa was really weak.

Li Mu asked Schwarzenegger curiously: "Arnold, how much did you spend on this villa?"

Schwarzenegger laughs, "It cost less than four million dollars." ”

Li Mu was surprised and said, "Such a big villa, as long as it is less than four million dollars?"

Schwarzenegger nodded and explained: "Sacramento housing prices are not high, if it is in Los Angeles, such a estate will start at least 10 million dollars, and if it is in the San Francisco Bay Area, the price will double again." ”

Li Mu nodded lightly, housing prices in the United States have always been relatively rational, except for special cases such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Manhattan.

Schwarzenegger said: "Many Internet billionaires who came out of Silicon Valley live in the Bay Area, where the living environment is very good, if Mr. Li is interested, he may wish to buy a real estate in the Bay Area in the future." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "If the business in the United States increases in the future, it is not impossible to buy a house in the Bay Area, after all, it is close to Silicon Valley." ”

Schwarzenegger chatted with Li Mu and guided him and the others to the interior of the villa.

Schwarzenegger's wife and their four children also gathered at the door to greet them, very warmly.

The family was greeted at the door by Celine Dion's husband, a music producer who was at least twenty years her senior.

Schwarzenegger took the initiative to introduce Li Mu to his beautiful wife, as well as two boys, two girls and four children.

His wife's name was Maria Schleiv, and she was a beautiful and temperamental white woman.

Li Mu shook hands with her politely, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Li, thank you for your help to Arnold all the time, without you, he would not have won this election." ”

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Believe me Mary, even without me, Mr. Schwarzenegger can still succeed." ”

Maria glanced at Schwarzenegger, and then said with a smile: "Arnold stepped into politics for the first time, and I was worried about whether he could handle this position, but he has a friend like Mr. Li and you, I am completely relieved, I hope that Mr. Li can help Arnold a little more in the future, so as not to make himself a big joke in the United States in the future, of course, if Mr. Li needs Arnold's service in the future, we will definitely go all out." ”

Li Mu smiled noncommittally, but secretly thought in his heart, this Mary spoke very directly, directly mentioned the key points in both sentences, and was always praising herself, she didn't look like an ordinary family woman, much like Hillary Clinton by his side when he was president.

So, he smiled and said to Schwarzenegger: "Arnold, you really have a good wife!"

Schwarzenegger laughed and whispered to Li Mu: "Maria is the niece of former US President John F. Kennedy, although she is not surnamed Kennedy, but she is also a member of the Kennedy family. ”

Saying that, Schwarzenegger said: "But Mary is right about one thing, without your help, Mr. Li, I will definitely not be able to be elected."

In Schwarzenegger's eyes, he was able to be successfully elected governor of California, and Li Mu's help played a very big role.

But Li Mu knew in his heart that Schwarzenegger himself could be elected, and he was just helping him add to the cake.

However, Li Mu was not overly modest, on the contrary, he felt that Maria, a woman, was not simple, and he told himself these things as soon as he came up, which should be a test of his positioning towards Schwarzenegger, hoping to get his own statement.

Moreover, in the words Maria just said, she has actually expressed her stance for Schwarzenegger, Schwarzenegger is willing to cooperate with him in depth, and the rest is whether she is willing to cooperate with him in depth.

Thinking of this, Li Mu smiled indifferently and said to Maria and Schwarzenegger: "I hope we can cooperate deeply in the future, support each other and help each other, I am very optimistic about Arnold's achievements in the position of governor of California, so I will also give the best help to support Arnold to achieve this goal." ”

The husband and wife glanced at each other, and each was excited by Li Mu's answer.

Originally, they were worried that Li Mu was unwilling to play this kind of petty gubernatorial game with them, but they didn't expect that Li Mu didn't have any steam at all, and even expressed his willingness to cooperate with them in depth, so that the incoming Schwarzenegger was reassured in the real sense.

Schwarzenegger couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Mr. Li, I specially asked someone to prepare a Chinese meal, let's go to the restaurant now!"

Li Mu nodded slightly, and Schwarzenegger hurriedly made a gesture of please, politely and respectfully guiding Li Mu.

Schwarzenegger, who is in his fifties, can be regarded as an old-timer in the whole of Hollywood, but when facing Li Mu, he completely puts himself in a lower position, even when he met the president of the United States in the early years, he has never been so polite.

This is also normal in Schwarzenegger's opinion, although Li Mu is very young, he has a huge business empire behind him, and he is the owner of this business empire, and his strength is indeed very strong;

In contrast, although the president of the United States is in charge of the most powerful country in the world, he is only a professional manager who is in charge of the country for a short time, and even when he is in office, his power will be greatly limited, let alone leave office after a few years.

The elderly Schwarzenegger, deep down in his heart, has strong political ambitions, eager to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Li Mu, and use Li Mu's energy to help him do a better job as governor, even if he just gives himself some propaganda resources, he can solve big problems for himself.

In every election in the United States, candidates spend a lot of campaign money, and a large part of this money is invested in propaganda resources.

It can be said that whoever has a strong publicity channel has won at the starting line.

What's more, any politician in the United States needs the support of a financier, and there is no financier more powerful than Li Mu at the moment.

……

When he came to the restaurant, Li Mu found that there were several chefs with Chinese faces who were busy, and there were already a lot of Chinese dishes on the table, and exquisite Chinese porcelain was specially prepared.

Schwarzenegger invited Li Mu and everyone to sit down, and then said to Li Mu: "Today's Chinese chefs are specially invited by me from Los Angeles, they are all very good Chinese chefs, I hope their food can meet your taste, Mr. Li." ”

At this time, a Chinese chef who did not smile walked up to the restaurant and said to Li Mu in slightly accented Chinese: "Mr. Li, we have also prepared a carefully stewed Buddha jumping over the wall for you, and it will be served in a few minutes." ”

Schwarzenegger introduced: "It is said that Buddha jumping over the wall is a famous Chinese dish, so I took it upon myself to order one, I don't know if Mr. Li likes it or not, if not, I will ask the chef to prepare others." ”

"I can do it all. Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Arnold, you are so polite, I actually don't have high standards for eating, so I don't have to worry so much." ”

Schwarzenegger hurriedly said: "Mr. Li flew over so far to cheer me on, and these are all things I should do." ”

As he spoke, Schwarzenegger took out two bottles of Moutai from the wine cabinet next to him and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, it must be very hard to sit on a plane for such a long time, let's drink two glasses, and you can relieve your fatigue." ”

Li Mu did not refuse.

However, at the dinner table, when Li Muzhen and Schwarzenegger pushed the glasses and exchanged glasses, he realized that Schwarzenegger's wine was more than a little good.

After Li Mu drank a few or two liquors, he felt a little drunk.

Celine Dion also heard Maria's intentions, and she also wanted to seize Li Mu's huge opportunity, but she put the entry point on Du Wei.

Because she felt that she was not like Schwarzenegger who could use the position of governor to plot Li Mu's resource investment, in this case, it was better to start directly with Li Mu's sister. ”

So, she has been taking time to chat with Du Wei about music-related things, unlike Schwarzenegger who directly used his status as governor in exchange for Li Mu's resources, she hopes to borrow Du Wei's hand in exchange for Li Mu's resources.

……

After the meal, Schwarzenegger called the servants and asked them to take Li Mu's assistants and bodyguards to the guest room on the third floor to rest, and he personally took Li Mu and Du Wei to the second floor.

According to Schwarzenegger, the villa has nineteen bedrooms.

There are five rooms on the first floor of the villa, all of which are occupied by servants, drivers and bodyguards, the second and third floors have seven bedrooms each, the third floor is full of guest rooms, and the second floor is the room for him and his children.

On the entire second floor, Schwarzenegger and his wife live in one room, his two sons each have a room, and the two daughters live in the same room, and there are just three rooms left, one is arranged for Celine Dion, and the remaining two rooms are arranged for Li Mu and Du Wei.

Du Wei has been chatting with Celine Dion, and it seems that the two are chatting quite speculatively, so Schwarzenegger said to Celine Dion at the staircase: "Celine, the room arranged for Miss Du is next door to your room, if it is convenient for you, please accompany Miss Du, I think you can talk better." ”

Celine Dion immediately nodded and said to Du Wei: "You live next door to me, we can discuss music together in the evening!"
