0616 Seattle Raiders
Continuing from above,
Li Wenxing must admit that from getting to know Dorothy Bush, to attacking her, taking the initiative to ask for a visit to her family, to preliminarily negotiating political and business cooperation with the Bush family, luck and timing accounted for a greater proportion of this.
Let's talk about the timing first, at this juncture of '77, the Bush family is going downhill, Bush Jr.'s grandfather died in '72, and the only Bush family member who is still in politics is about to step down.
He Li Wenxing, as well as his career in the United States, want to become bigger and stronger quickly, and need the support of the Bush family, but in the same way, the Bush family also needs him, and no one will dislike having many friends, especially in difficult times.
Speaking of luck, it was luck to meet Dorothy on the street, and there was a misunderstanding after the encounter, which made him walk directly into the sight of Bush Sr., which is even more good luck.
And the most prominent embodiment of luck is Dorothy herself, her star-chasing preferences, her lack of involvement in the world, her simplicity, her kindness, etc., especially her coaxing, easy to deceive, all of which have become the help of the later strategies.
Good luck and good timing, with these two things, all that remains is to seize the opportunity and play on the spot, and only then will we finally succeed in gaining the friendship and trust of the Bush family.
The times create heroes, there is a good saying, even if it is a pig, put it on the outlet, it can also fly.
Li Wenxing is naturally much smarter than a pig, relying on his foresight and his own adaptability, he found the outlet at the right time, and only then did he seize this excellent opportunity.
With this big help, his career in the United States, such as the entertainment industry, can speed up the process at least three to five times, and even save more time, so that he can get involved in the energy industry, the banking industry, and the technology and communication industry earlier.
Well, let's not mention the layout of the energy, banking, and communications industries in the United States, and focus on Li Wenxing, who has left Langley and came to Seattle.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of January 28, '77, the flight taken by Li Wenxing and his entourage landed smoothly at Seattle's Takma Airport.
When the group walked out of the terminal, there was already a receptionist sent by Boeing waiting outside, well, and sister-in-law Lin Jiali also came to pick up the plane.
The personnel of the three parties converged, Li Wenxing did not take the courtesy car prepared by Boeing, Lin Jiali brought her own team and bodyguards, of course, in her own car.
However, the accommodation problem was handed over to the receptionist of Boeing, and Lin Jiali was not familiar with this side, so it was easier for Boeing to arrange it.
Since leaving Langley in the morning, taking a two-hour car to transfer to Washington Airport, and then taking a four-hour plane to come, Li Wenxing was very tired, and when he came out of the airport and got into the extended Lincoln car, he had no interest in talking, so he just lay on the back of the seat and closed his eyes to rest.
However, Lin Jiali and Dorothy chatted on the side, so it was good, Li Wenxing was still worried that she would be upset for her cousin Lin Xueli, and she was quite sensible.
The plot is accelerated......
At six o'clock in the evening, in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Seattle, after taking a hot bath, eating some snacks, and making a cup of tea, Li Wenxing was exhausted and became vigorous again.
"How does the plane look? Especially the modified interior, it won't cost you money, right?"
At that time, in the living room of the suite, Li Wenxing was lying on the comfortable leather sofa, his feet drooping to the coffee table unruly, looking like a second-rate man.
And, Dorothy and Lin Jiali sat next to them watching TV, while Gong Wei took the opportunity to go to the inner bedroom to rest.
At this time, Li Wenxing finally asked about Lin Jiali's plane, which was his primary goal in Seattle this time.
"Well, it's nicely decorated, you should like it. It's just that the cost is a bit high, too extravagant......"
Suddenly hearing Li Wenxing's question, Lin Jiali immediately turned her head and replied, just seeing the appearance of this cousin-in-law, she was a little funny.
Every time I saw this before, I always looked steady, rigid, majestic, and unsmiling, how could I be like now, remove my disguise and completely expose my true nature?
"There are only two planes that can be taken away, and what about the remaining three? It seems that the Boeing company is not very good, and only two planes have been made in more than half a year, which means that the production capacity is limited. ”
Talking like this, Li Wenxing was really loud-mouthed, and he even forced his eyes to look at the Boeing Company, and he didn't want to think about his own identity, how could people make a special plane for him alone?
Therefore, Lin Jiali did not answer this, she could neither directly refute the other party, nor did she want to go along against her will, she had her pride, although she was not proud.
"What about the café?
pretending to be compared and complaining, no one cooperates at all,
Li Wenxing is very depressed, as a traverser, there is no supporting role around him who has a negative IQ, this is definitely the scum performance of the kind of crane tail truck in the traversing army.
Fortunately, I have been addicted to pretending to be more than I have recently, and I even ran to pretend to be enough in front of the future president of the United States, father and son, and it was not bad to pretend in front of Lin Jiali this time.
"The intermediary team is still talking about it, this can't be in a hurry, let them press the price again, this is the A round of financing, it's too bad to sign in a hurry, it's not cost-effective. ”
After asking about the plane, Li Wenxing immediately asked about investing in the Starbucks café, which is really, Lin Jiali is powerless to complain.
Please, big guy, it's only been less than a month since this task was distributed, just to collect information, market research, it takes time,
Not to mention direct contact, take the initiative to come to the door and want to invest in other people's stores, it's strange if you don't open your mouth, or talk about it well, and press the price, you will lose blood and vomit blood.
"What about the computer software? Microsoft shares?"
After asking about the progress of the acquisition of Starbucks, Li Wenxing continued to ask about the third goal of coming to Seattle this time.
Because I don't like to fly to and fro, I decided to buy a plane, invest in Starbucks, and invest in Microsoft together, so that I don't have to come here in the next few years.
"Hmm......
Computer software, speaking of which, I have been looking for almost a month in Seattle, and I have hired a lot of people to search for carpets, no, there is no DOS system at all,
Brother-in-law, are you mistaken? Or, is this a national defense secrecy project of the Chinese government? Is it really okay for us to ask around like this?"
Exploded, directly exploded,
When Li Wenxing mentioned the third thing, Lin Jiali suddenly broke out, although her tone was very calm and not very choking, but her answer, every word, every word, meant that she was very angry.
"What?
I sat up as soon as I breathed, Li Wenxing didn't have time to pay attention to Lin Jiali's little emotions, his mind was now buzzing, how could it not be? I want to talk about "Rebirth of Xiangjiang Giant" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
