The news of Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California spread around the world at midnight in China.

In order to give Schwarzenegger a little favor, Li Mu asked Muye Technology's Weibo Titter, YY, and YY networks to publish news simultaneously, contributing to the spread of the news that Schwarzenegger was elected governor of California around the world.

is very similar to Li Mu in that Schwarzenegger has a very high reputation in the world, and his image of "Terminator" is so classic that his popularity in the world is no worse than that of Michael Jackson.

However, an action star who played the role of "Terminator" suddenly became the governor of California, and this contrast surprised people all over the world.

Li Mu was shocked by this news back then, he still remembers his original thoughts, he thinks that an actor can be the governor of a state, this is simply incredible, he even once doubted whether Schwarzenegger had bribed the election, and even doubted whether he had the ability to manage the huge California well.

At that time, Li Mu didn't know much about American politics, he used the situation of Chinese officialdom to set Schwarzenegger, he felt as if he was a martial arts star in China, and suddenly one day he became a high-ranking official in the most economically developed province, no matter how he listened to it, he felt a strong sense of unreality.

Later, after gradually understanding how American politics work, Li Mu was no longer surprised by this matter, even a lawyer can run for president, and what is the fuss about a celebrity being governor.

But then again, Schwarzenegger's ability to govern is indeed a bit embarrassing, in the past few years in office, basically did not make any truly outstanding political achievements, the government deficit continues to grow, education, infrastructure, entertainment, employment, economy, the whole is a mess, the end of the term, the approval rating has fallen to the bottom, compared to his inauguration is close to 70% of the approval rate, Schwarzenegger can be said to have finally withdrawn.

Li Mu believes that at this moment, Schwarzenegger, who is waiting to take office under the attention of the whole world, must be full of enthusiasm to show his ability to govern, but he will definitely not believe that from the day he took office, he is basically going downhill.

It's been an eight-year downhill road, and worst of all, the 2008 financial crisis is almost a cliff road, and Schwarzenegger should feel the pressure soon after taking office.

……

The next day, a well-known talk show on CNN conducted an exclusive interview with Schwarzenegger.

Because the news of Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California is at the hottest stage in the world, this interview has also attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers across the United States and even around the world.

On the show, Schwarzenegger wore a very well-fitting suit on stage, and the handsome suit completely hid his muscles, which also made his whole temperament change dramatically.

The vast majority of the audience are accustomed to the image of him showing his muscles wantonly on the screen, and it is difficult to adapt to him for a while when they suddenly see him so serious.

Even the host couldn't help but sigh: "Arnold, to be honest, this is the first time I've seen you in a suit with my own eyes, I really didn't expect that such a strong bodybuilder and such a rough action actor would have such a gentlemanly side." ”

Arnold Schwarzenegger sat very appropriately on the single sofa of the interview, and said with a smile: "To be honest, when I started to prepare to run for governor, I was also stunned by myself in a suit and leather shoes in the mirror, and I asked in the mirror several times: Who am I and why am I dressed like this?"

The host smiled and asked, "Then how did you get used to it?"

Schwarzenegger shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I looked at the strange self in the mirror and said to him: You're going to run for governor, you're going to show your political ambitions, you're going to let the world know that you can not only be a good actor, but also be a good governor and make California better, and the first step to doing all this is to start by putting on a suit." ”

The host smiled and nodded, and at the same time applauded with the audience, after the applause, he said seriously: "I believe that not only the people of California, but also the people of the United States, and even the whole world are curious, how do you want to govern California, and what changes are you going to bring to California?"

Schwarzenegger must be serious: "First of all, I want to reduce California's fiscal spending, and to be honest, before I ran for governor, I couldn't believe that the people before me could run a good California like this." ”

Speaking of this, Schwarzenegger stretched out a finger and said with some emotion: "Can you imagine, California has a multibillion-dollar fiscal deficit, and California's fiscal spending has reached a crazy point, and these wasted money is not the money of the California government, these are all California taxpayers' money, and even include the taxes I contribute to California as an actor." ”

The host laughed and said: "Oh, I believe there must be a lot of tax money from you, after all, you are a top actor in Hollywood, and your salary is as high as 10 million US dollars." ”

Schwarzenegger said helplessly: "But you see, we have contributed so much money to California, and the California government has spent more money, but California itself is getting worse and worse, we have a lot of education and health problems, our government is running inefficiently, our roads are getting worse and worse, and the environment is getting worse and worse, these are all the dereliction of duty of the California government before." ”

The supporter asked, "Arnold, you're going to be in office next week, have you and your team thought about what you just talked about to solve these problems?"

Schwarzenegger said: "We will start from the essence of each issue, reduce spending, improve the efficiency of government operations, and reduce the basic burden on the people, and I will announce specific measures after I am sworn in." ”

The supporter smiled and said: "Let's talk about the inauguration, and the private party after the inauguration, you are a famous A-list star in Hollywood, I believe that there should be a lot of Hollywood stars who will come to the scene to cheer you on, right?"

Schwarzenegger smiled slightly and said seriously: "I really want to invite the whole of Hollywood to come, but unfortunately there is no such a big venue, this time my election is inseparable from the support given to me by Hollywood filmmakers, and the future of California will become better, and it is inseparable from the contributions of these elites." ”

The supporter nodded, and said: "By the way, as the incoming governor, I believe that the people of California are not only concerned about how many celebrity friends you have, but also how many entrepreneur friends you have.

Schwarzenegger smiled: "I invited many CEOs of Silicon Valley companies, even Bill Gates, who is not in Silicon Valley, I also invited, and Bill also accepted the invitation very readily, and I will have a serious chat with Bill about Microsoft's increased investment in California." ”

Speaking of this, Schwarzenegger smiled mysteriously and said, "By the way, I also invited a more heavyweight entrepreneur." ”

"Oh?" the host asked in surprise: "A more heavyweight entrepreneur, more than Microsoft's Bill Gates?"

"That's right. Schwarzenegger nodded mysteriously.

The host hurriedly asked, "Who is that?"

Schwarzenegger paused, and then said seriously: "It's the chairman of Makino Technology, Li Mu." ”

"My God!" the host exclaimed, "Li Mu?!, Wall Street's estimated worth of more than 100 billion US dollars?"

Schwarzenegger nodded and smiled, and said: "100 billion US dollars is just a conservative estimate, according to the information I have got, the valuation of Makino Technology has long been around 200 billion US dollars, and now the individual valuation of Weibo Titter has reached 40 or 50 billion US dollars, plus Mr. Li's other industries, I believe that his personal worth of more than 200 billion US dollars is already nine out of ten." ”

The host was amazed and said, "Two hundred billion dollars of personal wealth, this is really incredible!"

Schwarzenegger smiled slightly: "If you have the opportunity to interview Mr. Li, I believe he will not admit that he is worth more than 200 billion US dollars, and he will not even admit that he is worth more than 100 billion US dollars." ”

The host was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"Mr. Lee has always kept a low profile, and he doesn't really approve of valuation, which is just a concept in itself," Schwarzenegger said. ”

The host asked curiously: "Isn't valuation a very common measure in the Internet industry?"

Schwarzenegger imitated Li Mu's tone and said seriously: "It's like you have an ancient painting at home, and others say that it should be worth about 10 million US dollars, and this 10 million US dollars is the valuation, but when you take it to the market to sell, the highest price that the real buyer is willing to pay may only be 200,000 US dollars, and this 200,000 yuan is its true value." ”

After that, Schwarzenegger said: "I guess, we can only determine Mr. Li's true worth after Makino Technology goes public." ”

The host nodded again and again, and then asked, "Arnold, can you tell me how you met Mr. Li?

Schwarzenegger smiled and said in a somewhat pretentious manner: "We have known each other for a long time, but Mr. Li has always been low-key, so the outside world rarely knows." ”

The host exclaimed: "I believe that Mr. Li attaches great importance to you to let Li Mu come from Huaxia to attend your inauguration ceremony and celebration party, so I want to ask, will this be an opportunity for you to promote the in-depth cooperation between California and Li Mu, and even the in-depth cooperation with Huaxia?"

Schwarzenegger said with a determined face: "I believe it will." ”

In Huaxia, thousands of miles away, Li Mu shook his head helplessly in his office after watching Schwarzenegger's interview video.

Li Ziwei, who was beside her, handed him a cup of coffee and asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, do you think Schwarzenegger said too much?"

Li Mu shook his head and sighed: "I just think that he is not enough in the city government, and he is not patient enough, but after all, he is a politician who is a monk halfway, and he can't ask for too much." ”

After that, Li Mu said with a smile: "But this is a good thing for us, the more Schwarzenegger speaks to foreign countries, the more worried I am about falling off the chain, I should have begged him to do something for me with the matter of helping him campaign, but if he goes on like this, he will soon have to beg me to do something for me." ”
