"Miss Kennedy, have you seen this movie from Hong Kong?" A reporter suddenly spotted a rare figure in the banquet hall, and immediately walked forward with his eyes shining.

"Of course, this is a very romantic oriental romance!" said Caroline Kennedy, smiling reservedly.

"Are you invited to come this time, and what do you have to do with the film?" the reporter pulled out his notebook and quickly began to shorthand.

"I'm just a simple movie fan who loves movies, and today I was invited by a friend to accompany her to a banquet! Look, my friend is already waving to me again!" Caroline saw Li Ying walking towards her, and immediately shook off the annoying reporter.

"Sorry, sir, this is not a press conference, we need a little personal space!" Li Ying smiled at the reporter who was reluctant to follow after Caroline walked to her, but her tone of refusal to be disturbed was unquestionable.

"Sorry!" the reporter shrugged his shoulders and had to watch Li Ying and Caroline leave.

"Caroline, this is the protagonist of tonight's celebration banquet, the director of the movie "Sleepless Nights in Hong Kong", Zhang Wanting, you can call her Mabel!" Li Ying introduced.

"Hello Miss Kennedy, thank you very much for coming tonight!" Zhang Wanting had been in New York for three years before, so she naturally knew this woman who did not often appear in the news, but her popularity in the United States was not at all inferior to those Hollywood actresses.

"Sister Ting, you should call Caroline now, it is more appropriate to be Mrs. Schlossberg!" Li Ying smiled as she pointed to her newly married friend.

Caroline Kennedy is the only daughter of the assassinated former President John F. Kennedy, and the adorable girl who plays freely with her brother under the resolute desk in the Oval Office of the White House!

She is the eternal princess in the hearts of Americans, because the United States owes this six-year-old girl a father! The little girl was already married.

After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, John's younger brother, Robert F. Kennedy, was also assassinated during the presidential campaign. In order to avoid the invisible black hand behind the scenes, Caroline's mother chose to marry Onassis, the Greek ship king, and fled the United States with her and her brother.

And when Caroline grew up, she always followed her mother's request. Get away from the spotlight. Of course, Caroline is carrying the surname Kennedy like this, and there are some responsibilities that can never be abandoned. In fact, her little uncle, Senate Lion Edward Kennedy, was very fond of having her niece as his female companion and taking her to various events.

And the reason why Li Ying got acquainted with the daughter of the former president was because of a social reception held by Li Xuan in New York. At that time, Caroline accompanied her uncle Edward, and Li Ying took the place of her sister-in-law as the hostess of the dinner.

Although Li Xuan has a close relationship with the Bush family, this does not prevent him from associating with the Democrats. And even more so according to the political tradition of the United States. High-tech companies have always been more pro-Democratic parties.

According to a survey conducted by relevant institutions in the United States, as many as 83% of people in Silicon Valley chose to support the Democratic Party. Silicon Valley and Hollywood are said to be the two most hardcore territories of the Democratic Party on the West Coast of the United States. The Republican and Democratic parties in the United States, the former tend to be conservative in their political views, while the latter is more open and free.

Silicon Valley is known as the capital of innovation, and the core competitiveness that drives its continuous development is naturally scientific and technological innovation. And those who can turn all kinds of great ideas into all kinds of new products. Liberals who are often unwilling to follow the rules. Therefore, their values are naturally more inclined to the ideas of the Democratic Party.

For example, in the field of biomedicine. Cloning technology, which has become increasingly popular since the 70s, has caused huge ethical controversy in the United States in recent years. Republican politicians, if not explicitly opposed to cloning, are at least unsupportive.

Therefore, those scientists who are conducting research on cloning technology, as well as biological companies that are eager to turn relevant achievements into scientific and technological achievements, naturally have to firmly support the Democratic Party to come to power.

In another time and space, it was Senator Albert Gore of the Democratic Party. The first proposal to build an "information superhighway" in the U.S. Congress originated from the vigorous lobbying of high-tech enterprises behind the scenes.

In the 1992 U.S. presidential election, the high-tech industry was in fact the third largest contributor to political donations, after energy and insurance. Most of the money donated by the high-tech industry was received by the two running partners, Clinton and Gore.

So after the Clinton administration came to power. It immediately opened the door to the information age in the United States. If you look at the U.S. stock market in the eight years from 1993 to 2000, you will immediately realize it. With the help of the Internet wave in the United States, the market value of all high-tech enterprises has increased several times, and this is the Clinton administration's rich return to the financiers.

Although Li Xuan is friendly with the Bush family, he will never hang himself from a tree. Li Xuan wants to buy more insurance for himself, and the Democratic Party of the United States is not ready to give up. The money he poured on Edward Kennedy, Albert Gore and other Democratic politicians was actually not a lot!

Although New York is not the capital of the United States, its status in American political circles is not at all lower than that of Washington. Countless dirty behind-the-scenes deals in politics and business were done in the neon green of Manhattan. When Li Xuan was studying EMBA at Columbia University, every time he flew to New York, in addition to taking classes, another important job was to hold social parties.

And Li Ying followed behind her brother and after seeing all kinds of big scenes, she was no longer the ignorant girl she was five or six years ago. Although she didn't know her brother's long-term plans, she could still understand his brother's desire to befriend the Kennedy family.

So after Li Ying met Caroline, she has been trying to make friends with the jewel of the Kennedy family. Caroline settled in New York and got a job as an assistant at the Great Museum of Art in New York.

While Caroline tries to keep a low profile, her status as the daughter of a former president and a member of the Kennedy family makes her impossible to be an ordinary person. And Li Ying has an older brother who is the richest man in the world, and her identity is also impossible to be ordinary. Therefore, these two women in similar circumstances, although the age difference was nearly ten years, quickly became good friends.

And Li Ying and Caroline have recently had a lot of new topics. When she flew to the United States with her brother before school started. Li Xuan said that she planned to let her graduate and return to Hong Kong, and gradually take on the work of the family charitable foundation.

In addition to her daily work, Caroline spends a large part of her energy on taking care of several charitable foundations established by her mother, and her experience in this area is exactly what Li Ying needs most now. However, the topic of the two tonight naturally focused on the movie "Sleepless Nights in Hong Kong", which held a celebration banquet.

Caroline hadn't actually seen the movie. The reason why she appeared at tonight's party was completely pulled by Li Ying. Zhang Wanting talked to the two of them for a few words, and soon saw her mentor waving to her, so she had to leave the two of them apologously and leave quickly.

"Is the screenwriter of this movie really your brother? It's unbelievable!" Caroline was surprised to hear Li Ying say that the idea for "Sleepless Nights in Hong Kong" came from her brother.

"Actually, this is not the first time my brother has written a movie script, he has already conceived two or three movie scripts, and each film can be a big hit in Hong Kong!" Li Ying said in a slightly proud tone.

Because Li Xuan rarely accepts interviews with the media, the story that the American people can know. Most of them were when he first became the richest man in the world, and the American media reported the same myth about his entrepreneurship. Caroline really has a lot of curiosity about the gossip about other aspects of the world's richest man.

"You should have heard of NBC's ace program in the past few years, "Who Can Be a Millionaire"!" Li Ying nodded when she saw Caroline, and continued, "That column is also my brother's idea. He had just acquired Hong Kong's Asia Satellite TV and was eager to turn around the station's unfavorable ratings, so he designed the new show himself!

And "Who Can Be a Millionaire" became popular in Hong Kong. Asia Satellite TV has sold the rights to the show to many countries around the world, and its partner in the United States is NBC! So many people in Hong Kong are complaining that God is so unfair. Impose all the gifts on my brother alone!"

The day after the "Sleepless in Hong Kong" team held a celebratory party to win the New York Film Critics Association Award for Best Foreign Language Film, a prominent position in the entertainment section of the New York Post printed a headline like this: "The New Career of the World's Richest Man: Best Foreign Language Film Screenwriter?"!

This is naturally the handiwork of Universal Pictures, which is responsible for the PR team of "Sleepless in Hong Kong". is ready to use the influence of Li Xuan, the richest man in the world, to quickly hype up the popularity of the movie.

The New York Post's report was only the first bullet, and soon after that, several reports hyping up the world's richest man to become a screenwriter appeared in major American newspapers. As a Hollywood giant, Universal Pictures naturally maintains a tacit cooperative relationship with many media outlets. I am very familiar with this kind of propaganda routine.

And this trick is indeed very effective, because Caroline is not the only American who is curious about Li Xuan, the richest man. After "Sleepless Nights in Hong Kong" attracted a lot of attention, Universal Pictures immediately released the film in the United States, quickly turning everyone's curiosity into box office!

In fact, Li Xuan only provided a general idea at the beginning, and the film script of "Sleepless Nights in Hong Kong" has been continuously filled in and revised by professional screenwriters, and when it was finalized, it was far from Li Xuan's original idea. But no one can deny Li Xuan's contribution to the entire script, at least there is no problem for him to add his name to the co-screenwriter column.

If things develop here and gradually come to an end, it can only be said that Universal Pictures has done a fairly good topic marketing. And the second climax of this drama appeared half a month after "Sleepless Nights in Hong Kong" was released in the United States.

"It's not just the UK that's ahead of us, it's Hong Kong!", an opinion piece published in the Industrial Technology News section of the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal is a newspaper known for its serious reporting style, and it is not as keen on chasing lace news as the New York Post.

But the author of the article thought that he heard that the world's richest man had changed his career to become a screenwriter, and he was curious and walked into the cinema to start writing. "Sleepless Nights in Hong Kong" left the deepest impression on him, not the love story of the hero and heroine, but the Hong Kong Internet that runs through the development of the plot of the whole movie.

The little protagonist, who had his legs amputated because of a car accident, regained his confidence through the Internet and can swim in this virtual world like ordinary people. And he and the male protagonist also began to meet through the Internet.,After the two established a friendship.,The little hero plans to turn this pretty good man into his father.。

So he took advantage of the idea that the actor wanted to convince himself to join the other party's game company to develop a new game, and told him that he needed to go through a series of tests to prove his sincerity.

In fact, the little protagonist contacted another group of friends he met on the Internet, turning this test into a love encounter between the male protagonist and the female protagonist. It's just that these plots, which were originally designed to be very romantic, are always destroyed by mistake!

But in the eyes of the author of the article, this Hong Kong movie is not only a romance film, but also a popular science film, with countless cool things in it. Hong Kong has gradually entered a new information age.

A single telephone line can connect every corner of the city. Those who didn't know each other had an intersection because of the Internet. This new way of socializing will profoundly change the future of mankind!

While the Internet in the United States was still prevalent only in scientific research institutes and universities, the Internet in Hong Kong had begun to be popularized. When the whole of the United States was fighting a war of words with the British because of the advent of the World Wide Web, Hong Kong had already quietly taken a big step ahead!

The World Wide Web Consortium held its Global Internet Conference in London at the end of September. The Cambridge Laboratory of the Institute of Oriental Studies officially released the World Wide Web technology in the opening speech of the conference.

Subsequently, American academics and public opinion quickly began to reflect on the reality that the United States was lagging behind Britain in Internet technology. This topic quickly sparked a large-scale war of words between the British and American media, and eventually even attracted great attention from the societies of the two countries.

But the media can't focus on one news story forever, and by the end of November, after nearly two months of release, the media is no longer so enthusiastic about Internet topics. And it was at this time that the Wall Street Journal suddenly threw out that the United States is not only lagging behind Britain in the Internet field, but also lagging behind Hong Kong!

If it is said that Britain is lagging behind, the Americans can barely accept it, after all, although Britain has handed over the status of world hegemon, it is still an old power that cannot be underestimated. But Hong Kong is just a British colony, and in the minds of most Americans, the colony is definitely a symbol of backwardness and ignorance.

And now even Hong Kong has ridden on the head of the United States in the high-tech field of the Internet, which makes many people feel incredible! As a result, the topic of the Internet has once again become popular in the United States! (To be continued......
