Chapter 180: Choosing a Team
When Philip arrived, Ji Kai had just finished his work. After carrying Marianne into the bed in the bedroom, and then walking into the bathroom, she washed her whole body with the ability of the water system, quickly got dressed, and then went out.
"Hey, Philip, where are we going this time? Ji Kai said after sitting on Philip's elongated Lincoln.
"Haha, Ji, don't worry. When you get to the place, you'll know. Come, let's have a drink. Philip opened a bottle of red wine, poured two glasses, and handed Ji Kai a glass.
"Well, looks like you're going to surprise me? I'll have to wait and see. ”
I took a sip of red wine, and it felt like that. I don't know when the wine grapes on the estate will be harvested, and whether it will be better to taste them when the time comes.
"Ji, your media group and catering company have been expanding very quickly recently! Even here in New York, the catering company is nothing. But the expansion of the media group has caused a lot of dissatisfaction!" said Philip.
"Oh, I don't know very well, you know, I don't usually run a company. Everything is left to the people below, and I am only responsible for signing. Is there anything wrong with the expansion of the media group?" asked Ji Kai.
"It's okay for the media group to expand normally, but the problem is that the media group is yours. Some people have suggested that although you have become an American citizen, your political leanings are closer to China, and they are worried that once the media group grows bigger, it will spread some news that is unfavorable to the United States. So you get the idea. ”
"I don't believe it. Could it be that all the people at the helm of media groups in the United States are native-born Americans, not to mention others, Mercado was originally Australian, why no one mentioned his topic. Besides, where did I get any political leanings? When did I show them? Why don't I know? Could it be that I just donate some cultural relics to Huaxia?" Ji Kai said angrily.
"Haha, Ji, don't be angry. Do you know why you've been in the U.S. for so long, and no one has invited you to a party? Supposedly, there are many people like you who invite you regularly. According to Huaxia's words, although you are more homely, this is also abnormal.
It's been almost a year, and we've studied your business. Eventually, we confirmed that you were an acceptable person, and no, this is why we have this meeting. In the United States, as in China, interpersonal relationships are more important. Only if you are involved, then you can become a part of us, which will be very helpful for your company or other businesses. Philip said.
"Thank you. There is a saying in China that you follow the customs of the locals. Of course, I would like to have more friends, and I am honored to be able to integrate into American society. I know that going it alone doesn't come well, and thank you for giving me this opportunity. ”
Philip was very happy to see that Ji Kai had no objection. Being able to have the cooperation of such a media tycoon as Ji Kai is really a tiger for some aspects.
"I wonder what you know about American politics?" asked Philip.
"Philip, to be honest, I don't even know much about China, let alone America. I only know that the main political parties in the United States are divided into Republicans and Democrats, and it seems that every presidential election is basically from these two parties. I don't know about the rest. ”
"Haha, Ji, living in the United States, you still have to understand and be familiar with politics. Especially a rich man like you, who doesn't understand politics and is prone to turning his head. Know that neutrality is sometimes not so simple!"
"Philip, don't go around in circles, you mean I have to choose one of these two parties, right? It's just that I don't know anything about politics at all, so how do you let me choose? You can't just choose one at random, right? You know, sometimes, if you get the wrong position, it ends badly. Ji Kai said.
"Haha, that's not the case. As long as you have obvious political leanings, then even if something goes wrong with that party, it won't affect you. It's not like other countries, there isn't so much bloodshed.
So, what do you think of the current President of the United States, Pulp Jr.?" asked Philip.
Anyway, I don't feel as good as my predecessor Xiao Hei, and he always makes some messy things, like a clown. It's okay to be a star or a variety show host or something, but I'm not optimistic about him when he engages in politics. Ji Kai told the truth.
"You're so funny. That guy is a clown, he doesn't understand politics at all, he will say good things and paralyze the American people, but in fact, he has not made any contribution at all. That guy is a Republican!" said Philip with ulterior motives.
"Hey, Philip, why are you talking so vaguely. You just want to tell me that the Republican Party can't work, and then introduce the Democrats to me. Xiao Hei and Clinton are both Democrats, and I know that. If nothing else, at least it feels good to me, and if I had to choose, I'd rather choose the Democratic Party. Ji Kai said.
"Haha, Ji, it's a wise choice. Looks like we're going to have a great night tonight. You're sure to get a lot out of it. Philip said with a smile.
I knew you meant that. It seems that tonight's party should be about to be a party for the Democratic Party or something, and I used to read novels to know that such a party is nothing more than a statement of support at that time, at most some money.
"Philip, you know I don't know much about any of this. If there is anything you need to pay attention to, please let me know in advance. Political donations or something, I'm fine here. Still, as the old saying goes, you always have to pay off, don't you?"
"Don't worry, Ji, we are all capitalists, how can we do a loss-making business! No one will hinder the expansion of your media group, we are all our own people! Especially since California is the territory of the Democratic Party, you don't have to worry. ”
Without saying a few words, the car drove to a large manor. Although it was night, the lights were bright ahead, and there seemed to be a lot of people inside.
After the car stopped, someone immediately opened the door, and Philip asked Ji Kai to go out first, and then follow behind.
The security personnel who followed behind the car also quickly came to Ji Kai's side, although Mariana did not come, but the other security team members still followed Ji Kai all the way.
"Ji, it seems that everyone has arrived, let's go in. Your people will be arranged, don't worry!"
After Philip finished speaking, he walked into a huge living room with Ji Kai. There are many men and women holding wine glasses, chatting, Ji Kai has good hearing, and many people are talking about the weather and gossip and the like. I don't know where they got their leisure from, and they are talking nonsense here.
