556. in the first place
556. The Conversation (Page 1/1)
Li Zimu looked at the American president, a standard middle-aged American man, the golden curls on his head had already appeared a little white, his eyes were small, his eyelids were single, and the whites of his eyes were a little cloudy, and he should usually drink a lot.
Wearing a suit, showing a little belly, white skin slightly reddened, the wrinkles on his face were already a little obvious, and he sat on the chair next to the sofa with a cup of coffee and crossed his legs.
Li Zimu saw a real person for the first time, and he didn't even watch much TV, only seeing pictures of this person on websites and newspapers.
It does not have the momentum of the previous black president, and it looks old, although the two are about the same age, but the difference between the two is somewhat obvious.
"Oh, long time no see my old friend"
He knew Carl because the two had met, had a few meetings, had a few drinks in private, and that was when he was campaigning, and now two years have passed.
The secretary had already gone out, and there were only a few Li Zimu and him left in this place, and after a polite greeting, it was finally time to get down to business.
"This is my boss" Carl stood up and introduced Li Zimu next to him in English, his main thing today is to let Li Zimu meet with the president, and the rest is completely to act as a driver.
"Oh sir, good afternoon, you look very young, I was a little surprised"
The president was a little surprised in his eyes, and stretched out his hand to shake Li Zimu's hand, he was indeed surprised, because he didn't expect that the boss behind a big chaebol who supported him turned out to be such a young person, and he seemed to be an Oriental.
"Good afternoon, let's get down to business, shall we?"
Li Zimu stretched out his hand and shook it with him and nodded, there was no expression on his face, in fact, there was not much fluctuation in his heart, he didn't mind letting this person know that he was the boss of a chaebol.
"Do you believe that there are youkai in this world?"
Li Zimu started with a direct point, fluent English made it very comfortable to stop, and the time they agreed on was half an hour, which was definitely enough, so he was not in a hurry at all.
"Youkai? I also liked to play World of Warcraft when I was younger, and as for whether there are monsters in this world, who knows? Maybe?"
The president pouted, his expression was a little exaggerated, they liked to play this set of actions, they could simply show their emotions, and Huaxia's face did not change at all.
"We have an ancient saying in China, called the impermanence of the world must have demons, maybe you have heard, I believe, and I have seen it, today to talk to you, it is this problem"
Li Zimu said unhurriedly, Americans don't respect demon deism very much, maybe some of them believe in Christ and believe in God, but they have no concept of monsters.
The United States is an emerging country, with a history of only a few decades, and they have a bad view of the theological system in Europe and the theological system in China, and they care more about power and finance, and the president is no exception.
He didn't have much interest in what Li Zimu said about seeing monsters, and Li Zimu was still a Chinese, he didn't mean to look down on Chinese people, or maybe he was subconsciously, he didn't like the race that wasn't white, and his eyes couldn't deceive Li Zimu.
But Li Zimu is not in a hurry, this is what he expected, if the President of the United States says that he believes in Li Zimu, that there are really gods and monsters in this world, and he believes in it, this makes Li Zimu feel a little strange.
"Some time ago, a mermaid was found in Puerto Rico, and I think you know about it."
Li Zimu smiled and said, that mermaid is a serious monster, maybe it has been dismantled by the Americans now, but it is not necessarily, as the president of the United States, the person in front of him must know.
"Oh, that's just a piece of fake news, we've sent out a confirmation"
The middle-aged man smiled, it was obvious that he was very good at lying, and anyone who sat in this position would do this, he didn't understand Li Zimu's intentions.
Of course he knew about the mermaid, it was a secret in the United States, just like the aliens they dissected a few years ago, it was a secret that could not be made public, so when Li Zimu said it, he had enough words.
"It might be useful for you to say that to the citizens outside, but that's not how we do, are we? Of course, I don't mean to ask for that mermaid."
Li Zimu said unhurriedly, the reason why he said the mermaid was to remind this middle-aged man with a small belly that he knew a lot, and he didn't need to fool him like he did with the people outside.
"Well, I believe your point of view, there are indeed youkai in this world"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, the young man in front of him is not an ordinary person, he did misplace just now, that mermaid, the body structure is unprecedented, and there is also a special department under his hand, which is responsible for this piece, and the mermaid is an important discovery.
These Chinese people like to beat around the bush like this, and they can't get to the point in three sentences, which is enough for him not to like it, but he doesn't dare to show it on his face.
Although he is the president of a country, he is not a monopoly, and there are many eyes staring at him, he has to pay attention all the time, the chaebol represented by Li Zimu alone is enough for him to patiently listen to Li Zimu's words without losing his temper.
"I sincerely hope that you will be able to meet and vote on a law on yokai, the main thing is to treat them well, protect them, and if you can, preferably with a clear attitude and position, and then mass propaganda"
Li Zimu said the main problem today, and his tone was very polite, saluting first and then soldiering, every word said by the middle-aged man was within his expectations.
"Impossible"
The middle-aged man shook his head decisively, as if he had heard a joke, and asked him to propose a piece of legislation against monsters? What kind of international joke, this will be a huge oolong incident, not to mention that he knows that there are monsters, but he doesn't think much of this existence.
The advanced military technology of the United States has a higher status than even those small countries for the existence of monsters, although neither of them has any status in his eyes.
"Maybe you can believe that there are a lot of monsters in this world" Li Zimu lost even a little interest in looking at him, turned his head and drank the coffee in his mouth, but the taste was not good, and he put it down after smelling the instant smell.
Carl opened a notebook and placed it on the table, and inside it was playing a short video, which was very short, but the content was somewhat different.
Half-snake, half-human existence, a brown bear with a huge body, a reindeer running on the water, and a more than thirty meters long with a dragon's head.
