"Otherwise, you ask Xu Cun to see if he is willing to invest in your Soviet Union?"

As soon as he heard Bill Francis Adams' words, Peter Shevardnadze scolded in his heart: "If you don't want to help, just say it, let a Hollywood director invest in our Soviet Union, what to invest in? Is it to invest in our Soviet films?"

Actually,

It's no wonder that Peter Shevardnadze scolded Bill Francis Adams in his heart, it is impossible to invest in films in the Soviet Union!

Soviet cinema was very much about human nature, which had to do with Orthodox values, so the films that Soviets liked to watch were evocative films, such as "The Quiet Don" and "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears," rather than Hollywood commercial films, which the Soviets considered too superficial and focused on entertainment.

In addition, the cultural publishing work in the Soviet Union was all controlled by the government, and its films were all produced around the main theme, which is not to say that it was not necessarily impossible to produce high-quality products, but it itself served the government, not the audience -- no matter how much the audience liked it, as long as the leaders liked it, they could still get a stable salary, so the entertainment of Soviet films was very low.

All in all, investing in films in the Soviet Union will not make money at all, and even Xu Cun, a person who has been a man in two lifetimes, will not be able to untie this dead knot.

The most important thing is that the investment that Pyotr Shevardnadze wants to attract is the kind of large investment -- figuratively speaking, it is not 100 million yuan, and Pyotr Shevardnadze, the son of the Soviet Foreign Minister, is embarrassed to say that this investment was made by himself. In the opinion of Pyotr Shevardnadze, how could a director not be able to invest so much money in the Soviet Union?

But-

Although he scolded Bill Francis Adams in his heart, and although he thought that Xu Cun would not be able to come up with the investment he wanted, Peter Shevardnadze still said to Xu Cun with a smile on his face: "Xu, how about it, go to our Soviet Union to invest in a movie, I promise that the Soviet Union will definitely open the door for you!"

Xu Cun shook his head and said, "Forget about the movie, I am a commercial film director, and there should be no market in the Soviet film industry." ”

Hearing Xu Cun's refusal, Peter Shevardnadze nodded secretly and said in his heart: "This director is a bit self-aware. ”

Unlike Peter Shevardnadze, George W. Bush, who knew Xu Cun well, knew that Xu Cun had the intention of investing in the Soviet Union as soon as he heard Xu Cun say that "forget the movie."

Bush Jr. looked at Xu Cun and asked, "Do you really want to be a fool who went to the Soviet Union to invest?"

Xu Cun met Bush Jr.'s gaze and said, "The reason why Columbus was able to discover the New World is because Columbus was a fool who dared to take risks. ”

As soon as Xu Cun said this, Bill Francis Adams and Peter Shevardnadze were all stunned - they did not expect Xu Cun to really have the intention of investing in the Soviet Union.

Bush Jr.'s eyes flickered a little when he looked at Xu Cun -- Bush Jr. didn't believe that Xu Cun, who had made tens of billions of dollars from scratch, was a fool, on the contrary, Bush Jr. also thought that Xu Cun was a rare smart person in the world. Therefore, Bush Jr. can almost conclude that Xu Cun saw that there was a business opportunity to invest in the Soviet Union, so he intended to invest in the Soviet Union.

Pyotr Shevardnadze, who came to his senses, immediately laughed and said: "Welcome! Welcome! Xu, I promise you will definitely make money in our Soviet Union!"

At this moment, Peter Shevardnadze made up his mind to buy Xu Cun's pile of horse bones, and then used Xu Cun as an example to recruit more powerful investors.

It is precisely because of this that Pyotr Shevardnadze smiled and said: "Xu, my friend, what are you going to invest in? Do you need to give you some good advice from a Soviet? My friend, I think that building a cannement factory in our Soviet Union must be a sure deal, don't you know, our Soviet canned food is simply terrible!"

The conscience of heaven and earth, Pyotr Shevardnadze's advice to Xu Cun is really very good - for an investor with a small capital, building a cannery in the current Soviet Union will definitely make a good amount of money.

But as soon as Peter Shevardnadze said this, George W. Bush and Bill Francis Adams couldn't help but laugh!

Xu Cun smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the Soviet Union to invest in a cannery." ”

How could Pyotr Shevardnadze be a stupid person if he could come to the United States with his old son to help Gorbachev make a prelude to his visit to the United States?

As soon as George W. Bush and Bill Francis Adams laughed, Peter Shevardnadze realized that he might have made some low-level mistake.

So Peter Shevardnadze said with a look of grievance: "George, Bill, I think happiness should be shared with friends, not let friends stand by and watch like fools." ”

Bush Jr. stopped smiling and said, "Peter, as a friend, I have to give you a heartfelt suggestion, don't promise Xu Cun to go to the Soviet Union and only invest in a cannery." ”

After listening to George W. Bush's words, Peter Shevardnadze's eyes twinkled -- he knew what he had done wrong, and how could Xu Cunruo, who was just a film director, become friends with Bush Jr. and Bill Francis Adams, the top talents of the top American families?

Thinking of this, Pyotr Shevardnadze immediately turned his head to Xu Cun, and then said with a grudge on his face: "Xu, you bad guy, you made a fool of your friend and me, and deeply hurt the friendship between me and you, so if you don't invest a lot of money in the Soviet Union, I won't forgive you!"

Xu Cun smiled and said: "Okay, Peter, my friend, if your Soviet oil industry also attracts foreign investment, then I can consider investing 10 billion or even more in the Soviet Union." ”

As soon as Xu Cun's words came out, Peter Shevardnadze's pupils shrank sharply, and George W. Bush and Bill Francis Adams also showed a look of shock -- $10 billion in 1987 was not a small amount of money for any group, including the four major families in the United States. Of course, this is not to say that the four major families in the United States cannot afford to invest so much money, but that they will not invest so much money easily, let alone in the Soviet Union, a market full of too many uncertainties!

After calming down, Pyotr Shevardnadze cautiously asked Xu Cun: "Xu, my dear friend, you are talking about dollars, right?"

It's no wonder that Pyotr Shevardnadze was so cautious - if this happened, it would be an extremely strong political capital for Pyotr Shevardnadze, with which Pyotr Shevardnadze would immediately become a political star in the Soviet political arena, and coupled with his father's powerful power, Pyotr Shevardnadze's political future can definitely be described as 'unlimited'!
