To be honest, Xu Cun is not a person who likes politics. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But the business is so big that it is impossible to isolate it from politics.

For example:

Under the restrictions of the antitrust law of the United States, the film companies of the United States and the United States cannot operate theaters vertically. In addition, to be able to become a Hollywood giant, in addition to making good movies, you must also have a media network. As a result, the parent companies of several major Hollywood giants either make television, newspapers, or records.

In other words, if Xu Cun wants to buy a theater chain in the United States, due to the restrictions of the anti-monopoly law, DreamWorks Pictures cannot be the parent company. Therefore, Xu Cun must have a company that makes television, newspapers, or records as the parent company of DreamWorks (a branch of US G) and the cinema chain that Xu Cun wants to buy, so that Xu Cun can not violate the antitrust law of US G.

In the last life, Murdoch, the media magnate, took advantage of the troubles of the Twentieth Century Fox Company and bought its shares at a high price. At the same time, he also used this to acquire seven television stations of Metropolitan Media Company and form Fox Television. To do this, he sold the Village Voice and the Sun Times. However, the law prohibits non-US citizens from owning both newspapers and television stations. In order to build his own television network, Murdoch had to become an American-G citizen. A year later, Fox became the fourth-largest television company in the United States after ABC, CBS and NBC.

Among TV, newspapers, and records, Xu Cun is more inclined to be a TV network. In other words, Xu Cun is ready to follow the path of Murdoch's construction of a television network.

But—

Murdoch's road is not easy to follow - in the previous life, Murdoch had a number of newspapers in his hands to advocate for himself, and many Wall Street predators helped him lobby the US government, so he also joined the US G nationality to establish his own media empire.

Compared with Murdoch, Xu Cun's only advantage is that he does not have a newspaper in the United States, and he does not have to violate the law of the United States and G, which prohibits non-American citizens from owning both newspapers and television stations.

But—

Even so, it is by no means easy for Xu Cun, a native of Xiangjiang, to establish a television network in the United States, especially when there is no one to help him lobby the United States government.

Whether it is a TV network or a U.S. G cinema line, for Xu Cun, who wants to build a big entertainment ~ empire, he is determined to win!

Therefore, Xu Cun must make some political investment in the United States and G.

It is precisely because of this that taking advantage of the upcoming US and G elections, Xu Cun made a lot of efforts to catch up with the Bush family.

Now, George H.W. Bush is competing with President Reagan within the Republican Party for the right to be elected to the next presidency.

Xu Cun naturally knew that the elder Bush had no chance at all, and in the end he could only obediently continue to be his vice president.

But even so, Xu Cun is still ready to invest in Bush Sr., or it can be said that he has invested in the Bush family.

Xu Cun did this because of Xu Cun's considerations:

First of all, the vice president also has great power, at least it is not a big problem to help Xu Cun lobby the US and G governments.

Second, Bush Sr. will serve as the next president of the United States and G in 88, and Bush Sr.'s son, Bush Jr., will serve as president of the United States and G for 2,000 years.

The U.S.-G election is not only a contest of personal charm, but also a contest of money -- "money is the mother's milk of politics," and the Bush family's political achievements are naturally inseparable from their family's thick money bags. Bush's great-grandfather was a manufacturing tycoon, Bush's grandmother was born into a family of financial magnates, and the Bush family's industries covered oil, banking, military enterprises, and even sports. It can be said that the Bush family is one of the biggest predators on Wall Street.

Of course, not to mention Bush Jr., even Bush Sr. has not yet become president, so there is still a lot of gap between the Bush family and the Adams family, the Roosevelt family, and the Kennedy family, the three largest families in the United States.

This is also the reason why Xu Cun decided to invest in the Bush family - after all, the icing on the cake is never a deep impression, isn't it?

The core figure of the Bush family is undoubtedly Bush Sr. The reason why George W. Bush was elected governor of Texas that year was that many voters looked at the face of his father, Bush Sr. And if Bush Sr. is the core of the Bush family, then Bush Sr.'s wife Barbara is the soul of the Bush family. Externally, Barbara presented herself as a kind grandmother and won the hearts of many people for the family, while internally she held power and trained her children and grandchildren to be obedient. After Bush Jr. became president, he still had to get up in the morning and drink coffee with the whole family according to his mother's rules, and he would still be reprimanded by his mother.

Xu Cun came to Texas this time to visit Barbara, one of the most powerful women in the United States.

Because Barbara is a woman, Xu Cun also brought Gong Li, a Shandong girl, - Barbara agreed to see Xu Cun very suddenly, Xu Cun couldn't let He Chaoqiong, who was far away in Xiangjiang, or others accompany him to see Barbara, so Xu Cun could only bring Gong Li, who came to play with him.

(Lizhi has been pregnant for more than a month, so she didn't go to Beij with Xu Cun or come to the United States with Xu Cun.) ）

Hearing Xu Cun say that she was going to take her to visit Vice President Meig's wife, Gong Li was very nervous - so much so that she tried the clothes Xu Cun bought for her one by one before picking out a set of clothes that she was satisfied with.

It's a pity -

All of this Gong Li did was in vain - Barbara only gave Xu Cun five minutes, and during those five minutes, Barbara barely looked at Gong Li.

In these five minutes, Barbara first said that she and Bush Sr. both like to watch the movies directed by Xu Cun, and then chatted with Xu Cun about China G, and then said that Bush Sr. has a good impression of China G, and then euphemistically said that she will have something to do in a while.

Now Xu is just a local tyrant with assets of more than two billion dollars in Barbara's eyes - this money is indeed a lot for an individual, but it is nothing for a big family and a large group. If it weren't for the Chinese person Xu Cun found who had a deep friendship with Barbara, Barbara would not have met Xu Cun, a local tyrant, let alone talk to Xu Cun for five minutes.

In this regard, Xu Cun, who has always been self-aware, can still figure it out.

So, Xu Cun first put a check for $50 million on the table, and then stood up to say goodbye to Barbara.

The Bush family is rich, but after all, the money belongs to the entire Bush family, but the $50 million Xu Cun can be owned by Barbarash personally, and the $50 million is just a gift from Xu Cun to the Bush family.

Xu Cun believes that Barbara's wisdom will not think of such things, and Barbara will definitely urge the Bush family to accept Xu Cun, a local tyrant who is willing to pay money.
