Chapter 1671: Elected Governor
The gubernatorial election in California not only affects Spielberg's heart, but Leonardo and Tom Hanks, who are drinking with Li Mu at this moment, are also very concerned.
As soon as Spielberg talked about the imminent announcement of the election results, the two hurriedly put down their wine glasses and said with a serious face: "Arnold should have a high probability of winning this time, right?"
Spielberg smiled slightly, looked at Li Mu again, and said firmly: "With Mr. Li's secret help, I think Arnold's election this time is a sure thing, we can drink here while waiting for good news." ”
Leonardo suddenly realized, nodded again and again: "Stephen, when you say that, I also remember, so if we go back to Hollywood tomorrow, we can participate in Arnold's successful election party!"
Tom Hanks exclaimed: "If Arnold is really elected, the most important thing to thank should be Mr. Lee!"
Li Mu thought of Arnold Schwarzenegger's election for governor of California, and a faint smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
How to say it, he suddenly understood that the folk gods and barefoot doctors who were pretentious and deceitful were all relying on what to eat.
To put it bluntly, it is to peddle a psychological sustenance, and then make money by probability.
For example, in the strongest stage of patriarchal thinking, there are always people who take the initiative to buy home remedies that can give birth to sons, and many Jianghu doctors have sworn promises, promising that their medicine can give birth to a son, and even promising invalid refunds, many people who desperately want a son will feel that it is worth a try, after all, if they fail, they can get their money back.
The role played by the Jianghu doctor in this is the person who peddles psychological sustenance, he actually did not have any actual impact on the result, he just threw out the bait, and then waited for the prey to take the bait, and then waited for the prey to be its own probability, if ten people bought his medicine, and five people gave birth to sons, then he naturally made five people's money, and as for the remaining five who gave birth to daughters, it was a big deal to return the money to them.
Although Li Mu is not such an outright liar, he knows in his heart that Arnold Schwarzenegger can be elected governor of California even without his own help, but if he is elected this time, he will most likely be grateful to himself and think that he has helped him a lot.
Perhaps, the whole of Hollywood will feel that Arnold Schwarzenegger can be elected to the state of California without his own backing.
However, Li Mu naturally can't say it, such a thing is an additional bonus for him as a reborn, just enjoy it with all his heart.
California is a treasure land in the United States, known as the Golden State, and the cow is very good at almost everything in this state.
California's total output value is the first in the United States, and its per capita GDP is the first in the United States.
What's even more outrageous is that this place is also extremely developed in agriculture, and it also ranks first in the United States.
If you go to China, the cultural industry in this place is much stronger than the cultural industry of Yanjing and Shanghai combined, the manufacturing industry is much more developed than Guangdong Province, which ranks first, and the agriculture is much higher than that of Qilu, which ranks first.
Before Li Mu was reborn, California's GDP was pulled out separately and it could rank sixth in the world.
Schwarzenegger has a bright future as governor in such a state, which can be imagined.
Coupled with the unique political system of the United States, the power of the state is very large, and even the legislative power of most laws is in the state, so there are unlimited possibilities in this.
For example, if California passes a bill that will provide a 30% tax deduction for all foreign capital companies in Silicon Valley in order to promote the entry of foreign capital and promote the development of local high-tech industries, the amount of money that Makino Technology can save every year will be astronomical.
Hollywood stars and famous directors are very supportive of Schwarzenegger's campaign, in fact, the core reason is the same, the United States itself is a country with relatively high taxes for the rich, although it is much better than Europe, but for those rich people in the United States, the tax is not the lowest in their eyes, only lower.
Therefore, Hollywood stars also hope that there can be more favorable policies, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Hollywood star himself, and a first-line star, if he is elected governor, you don't have to think about it, you know, he will definitely do something practical for Hollywood.
Li Mu has now sent Makino Technology to Silicon Valley, and is about to send Makino Imaging to Hollywood, in the future, after Schwarzenegger is elected, he will really have to deal with Schwarzenegger.
I have the impression that Schwarzenegger served two terms as governor in his last life, for eight years, and having such a parent official, and he has been in office for eight years, which is also an excellent thing for Li Mu.
The party lasted until half past eleven in the evening.
At this time, every Hollywood actor and crew present was already a little anxious, and some of them used PDAs with Internet access to constantly refresh the official Titter of the California state government, hoping to see the good news that Schwarzenegger was elected governor of California.
At 11:45 a.m., Spielberg's assistant, holding a Nokia mobile phone with a full keyboard slid sideways, looked at the screen excitedly and shouted: "The California state government has issued a Titter! Schwarzenegger has been elected governor of California!"
His voice made the audience fall into a carnival.
Even Spielberg, who has always been calm, couldn't hold back for a while, he took the initiative to pick up his glass and shouted: "Everyone, let's toast to Governor Schwarzenegger!"
"Cheers!"
All the people from Hollywood were excited.
Although Li Mu was also very happy in his heart, because he had known this result for a long time, he did not show great surprise.
Schwarzenegger was already a household name Hollywood action star as early as the end of the last century, and he was suddenly elected governor of California, USA.
In fact, except for Americans who knew in advance that Schwarzenegger was going to run for election, fans in other countries, including Huaxia, were stunned by the news, but they didn't expect that a film and television star could run for governor as soon as he turned around.
Moreover, it is just enough to participate in the election, but what is even more unexpected is that this actor-turned-muscular man turned out to become the governor of California, which shocked everyone's heart.
Just when the others were carnivaling, Li Mu suddenly received a call from the United States.
He didn't know who was calling, so he walked to a secluded place to answer the phone, but he didn't expect Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice to come from there.
On the phone, Schwarzenegger said gratefully: "Mr. Li, I am Schwarzenegger, I call you to thank you for your help to me, and I also want to share a good news with you, I have been successfully elected as the governor of California, and I will take office in more than a week!"
Li Mu said with a smile: "Congratulations to Arnold, I knew that you would definitely be able to succeed in the election, and sure enough, it didn't disappoint me." ”
Schwarzenegger hurriedly said: "The main thing is to thank Your Excellency for your help, the resources you gave me on Weibo Titter have allowed me to achieve high public support in a very short period of time." ”
Li Mu smiled: "Arnold, you and I are old friends, you don't need to take a bite of Your Excellency, it's too raw, you can call me by my name directly, or call me Mr. Li and Mr. Li directly, but don't use words like Your Excellency anymore." ”
"Okay!" Schwarzenegger laughed and said, "Mr. Li, I plan to have a celebration party before I take office next week, and all my good friends are invited, I wonder if you have time to enjoy it?"
Li Mu asked in surprise: "Where is Hollywood?"
"That's right. Schwarzenegger hurriedly said: "I'm tentatively in Hollywood at the moment, but if you have something to do, we can change to another time, even if I go to China." ”
Li Mu smiled: "This is your election party, how can I let you come all the way to Huaxia, it is too insincere." ”
After that, Li Mu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "When you book the party time, I will definitely coordinate a suitable time to come over to cheer you on." ”
When Schwarzenegger heard this, he immediately became excited and blurted out: "Mr. Li, what you said is true?"
Li Mu said without hesitation: "Of course it's true, we'll see you in Hollywood at that time." ”
"That's great!" Schwarzenegger hurriedly said, "I will personally pick you up at the airport then!"
Considering that Schwarzenegger will be governor for eight years in the future, Li Mu feels that he really needs to go to the United States, on the one hand, to get closer to Schwarzenegger, and on the other hand, to see the business progress of Makino Technology.
If time permits, I can also go to Harvard again, meet Su Yingxue, and see how far Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook's project progress has been.
In addition, Li Mu also wanted to find out the bottom of Silicon Valley to see who was suitable to be the receiver of Weibo Titter in the near future.
For the vast majority of people, long-distance flights are not an easy task, but fortunately, the brand-new Gulfstream G550 that Chen Ze bought for Li Mu has been parked in the Air China hangar at the capital airport for a long time, and it is in excellent condition and ready to fly at any time.
However, the specific time will pass, and we will have to wait for Schwarzenegger to reply to a specific time.
Back at the party, Spielberg pulled Li Mu with a red face and asked him in a low voice: "Mr. Li, just now I saw you hurriedly go out to answer the phone, and I took the liberty of asking, is it Arnold calling?"
Li Mu nodded and told Spielberg about Schwarzenegger's invitation to attend the election celebration party.
After hearing this, Spielberg hurriedly asked, "Mr. Li, have you decided to go?"
Li Mu bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "For such a big thing, it is natural to go to cheer him up." ”
Spielberg hurriedly said: "That's great, my family also lives in Hollywood, you must come to the house when you arrive!"
