This is an ordinary private banquet, and it is also an extraordinary private banquet.

At the White House, Lin Fan and the black president were tasting the steak provided by the White House chef, and by the way, they had another glass of authentic Huaxia Moutai. In fact, it is an honor for many people in the United States to be able to attend a private dinner at the White House, and having dinner with the president means that you are a real American high-ranking powerhouse.

Even Bill had only been invited to a White House dinner, but it was only a state dinner. Compared with this kind of private banquet, the meaning is naturally completely different, which is not only a recognition of the status of the guest, but also represents the president's personal friendship.

"Lin, I doubt how you Chinese people can endure such strong alcohol, I think it's about the same as Russian vodka. ”

Lin Fan smiled faintly, "This may be related to the living environment of our ancestors, the primitive tribes migrate and survive in the vast land, fighting with the sky and the earth, the harsh environment, need the company of a pot of spirits, warm the spleen, and strengthen the courage." ”

"I'm fascinated, maybe after I leave the job, I will study the history of China, it's a magical country. ”

Lin Fan was noncommittal, he knew the reason why this president came to him, it was nothing more than the wind and rain during this time, and even the president couldn't sit still. Senior government officials have entered Lin Fan's interest group, what does Lin Fan want to do? But Ao is very helpless, this is the United States, liberal and democratic, he has no right to decide whether a member of the government should serve as a director of a certain company, and it is still when there is no public dissent, so he can only go directly to Lin Fan.

The American media will say bad things about Lin Fan, one of the largest media giants in the United States, the Hearst Group, is Lin Fan's ally, and a number of high-ranking officials serve as directors of oil companies, and under the propaganda of the media, Lin Fan is seeking asylum from the government, after all, the oil is produced in Africa, where poverty and war are raging, and only the United States can protect the interests of Lin Fan.......

"Lin, congratulations on setting up two more companies. ”

Looking at the black buddy who wanted to ask a question but twisted and turned, Lin Fan was a little funny. But of course he couldn't laugh out loud, in fact, he had long expected this day, and he had a chip that Ao would not refuse.

"I understand what you mean, sir. I'm just a pure businessman, I don't want to do anything, you know, even if I want to be president, it's impossible. ”

Ohaha smiled, revealing his infectious big white teeth, "I want to thank your Huaxia nationality for giving me one less competitor." ”

"It's not just one less opponent, it's one more friend. Lin Fan's words have a deep meaning.

"Oh?"

"To be honest, in the global wave of economic crisis, the economies of all countries are struggling with exhaustion, but in the United States under your leadership, I see hope and light. ”

Ao did not lose his mind because of Lin Fan's praise, "In fact, the US economy has not changed dramatically, and the hundreds of billions of dollars bailout plan has only stabilized the economy." This is also the result of the Treasury Department constantly inviting Wall Street giants to lunch. ”

Lin Fan didn't laugh, this is normal in the United States, the state rarely intervenes in the market economy, and the control of giant enterprises in the market may far exceed that of the state, but if it is in China, a few bills will be solved in an uproar.

"But it's getting better anyway, so I'm very optimistic about your abilities. ”

Ao was about to be modest, but Lin Fan's next sentence surprised Ao's face, "So I think you should be re-elected as president of the United States." ”

"I'm glad you have so much confidence in me, but it's not really something I can say, it's up to the public. ”

Lin Fan was noncommittal, "I will discuss your succession to the presidency of the United States with Democratic Party Whip Siegel, the media giant Hearst will promote for you, Citibank will open a door for you to tell Wall Street giants about your governing philosophy, if you need to be on TV, NBCUniversal will provide you with support, Twitter will provide you with online propaganda positions, so that you and your supporters can communicate face-to-face, of course, you can also get some support from the military, but this requires you to communicate with them." ”

Running for president in the United States is a process of competing for wealth and connections, and Ao suddenly felt that he was very likely to be re-elected, and he seemed to realize Lin Fan's tremendous energy only today.

"Thank you, my friend. ”

"We are friends, no need to say thank you. ”

The two tacitly did not mention Lin Fan's wanton wooing, and when Lin Fan left, Ao pondered for a while, and made a phone call to ask the secretary to come over, "You go and get a copy of the specific information of Lin Fan, a Chinese businessman." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Don't go through the CIA and the FBI, take it from the White House Intelligence Office. ”

The secretary was stunned for a moment, but then nodded......

Hangcheng, Lin Fan's first stop on his return from the United States, if Song Qing hadn't taken the initiative to call him, he might have gone to Yanjing now.

"I'm not used to looking at an old-fashioned suit, do you want me to give you a set of clothes?"

"How can I have the scenery of the richest man in Lin, and I eat with the president of the United States at every turn. ”

As soon as the two met, they started to fight directly, and it was rare that Song Qing was not only not old-fashioned after more than a year of mixing in officialdom, but also joked with Lin Fan.

"What's the matter with District Chief Song calling me this time?"

"What are you shouting, District Mayor Song? When I go to the party school after a while, I will be the director of the Hangzhou City Bureau of Commerce. ”

"The Vice-Hall?"

"Alas, I'm thirty years old before I get into the deputy hall. Compared to you, it's a good failure......."

Lin Fan really didn't want to look at Song Qing's face, he obviously looked like he was going to die, and he pretended to have an inferiority complex, so he could be promoted with such a good look?

"To be honest, I still want to thank you, vivo settled here, and with the entry of subsidiaries such as Fosun Group and Alibaba, my economy can be so good. ”

"Don't say that, it's all your credit, I'm just going to build a bridge for you. ”

Song Qing didn't say much when he saw Lin Fan like this, he was relieved, he smiled, "Actually, I asked you to come to explain something to you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Before I explain, let me ask you something, did you buy a red down jacket for my sister. ”

"How do you know?"

Song Qing smiled helplessly, "During the Chinese New Year, Song Nuan was wearing red clothes for us to video chat, I wondered at the time, my sister doesn't like red the most, how can she wear red clothes?"

Lin Fan's face changed, and he explained again and again, "Third brother, things are not what you think. ”

"I'm at ease with you, and I'm at ease with my sister. Song Qingzheng said, "What I want to explain is also related to my sister, one night my father said that it has nothing to do with you, do you remember?"

"Of course. Lin Fan's expression remained unchanged, and it was that night that he made up his mind not to ask for anyone again, but to go to the United States to compile a network of interests for himself.

Song Qing looked at Lin Fan's flat expression, and sighed in his heart, "I just tell you that the country is not only surnamed Song, my father is for your good, and he can't help himself." ”

"This?"

"Don't ask anything, I won't say if you ask, and you don't have to go to my dad again, it's okay for us to see each other." ”

Lin Fan's eyes suddenly flashed......
