White House, USA, inside the meeting room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
With a cigar in hand, President Ronald Reagan said to Chen Xiaotang: "I heard that you will invest in Washington on a large scale?"
Although his words were inquiring, Chen Xiaotang heard an undoubted affirmation from them, and it was obvious that he had received some news. There is no need to deny this thing, so Chen Xiaotang nodded, "Yes, I think Washington, as the political, economic and cultural center of the United States, has unlimited development potential in the future. ”
"So how much do you plan to invest?" Reagan looked at him without blinking.
"Not too much for the time being, but it may end up being 100 billion ......"
"100 billion? Dollars?! ”
"Yes!"
"Hehe, you have a lot of money!" Reagan said with a son-in-law: "For 100 billion dollars, I guess I can even buy the White House where I live, right?!"
Chen Xiaotang smiled bitterly, "Mr. President, you also think too highly of me, do I still have the self-knowledge to buy here?" Look around, "I guess, no play!" ”
"Hahaha!" Reagan burst out laughing again, "How can it be that there is no play?" According to the law of capital development, the richer the person will only be richer! You can control hundreds of billions now, and you can control trillions of ...... tomorrow When the time comes, don't say that if you buy this White House, it will be possible to buy the whole world! This is the charm of capitalism! ”
Money, it's everything!
Capital flows, money never sleeps!!
To know. It's a world ruled by merchants!!
Chen Xiaotang smiled bitterly again, and the old man in front of him pushed himself forward, "It's true that I have some money now, but if you look at my company, alas, compared to the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, it is not high-grade at all, so you don't have to worry about me!" ”
Chen Xiaotang said it very bluntly. Having money does not mean that you have a huge family power, and this kind of power is a force that cannot be ignored in influencing the progress of the United States and even the world. Not to mention the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family in Chen Xiaotang's mouth, as long as anyone with a discerning eye knows, the most powerful person in the world is not the president of the United States, nor Saddam Hussein, let alone the Russians, but those who are in charge of hundreds of millions of wealth. Huge super-financial emperors ---for example, Rothschild!!
You just have to study the history a little. You will find that in World War I and World War II, there are shadows of this financial family, they control the European banks, the North American banks, the Asian banks, in a sense, they are the biggest rulers of the real world empire!
Reagan is not an idiot, of course he understands this, because after listening to what Chen Xiaotang said, he nodded. Qu finger flicked the ash of his cigar and said, "So you are ready to learn from the old Rockefeller and the old Morgan, like them, who were directly produced in the large-scale construction of the country?" And then ...... to make political capital?"
"What did you say?" Chen Xiaotang was directly stunned, what do you mean, isn't this obviously for me to cultivate family power? Would the U.S. government be so kind to let a Chinese build a huge consortium?!
In the face of such a super temptation~ bewilderment, it is estimated that nine out of ten people will choose to agree excitedly.
After all. As long as there is the support of the U.S. government and so much of his own principal, it is enough to dominate the business and political circles in the United States. The most important thing is to be able to wash away the traces of the stock market "hail household" on yourself. Squeeze into high society and become a real American plutocracy!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xiaotang tried his best to resist this temptation~ because he knew that behind this temptation were compromises and traps, and American politicians were not philanthropists, and they were definitely not so kind.
"I'm sorry, dear Mr. President, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept it!"
Chen Xiaotang's words surprised President Reagan, "Oh, why?!" Don't you know what a great opportunity this is?! As long as you're willing to nod, then tomorrow I can make you a U.S. citizen! Become an upstart in high society and be the best friend of our American government......"
"Thank you, thank you for your kindness!" Chen Xiaotang had to interrupt him and said categorically: "Although I refuse to cooperate with you, I promise that I will never participate in the politics of other countries...... You know, I'm just an actor, and my biggest dream is to act and become an Oscar-winning actor, not to be a politician or a big chaebol! I hope you, Mr. President, understand this. ”
"So...... Don't you want to be the chief executive of Hong Kong in the future?" Reagan had studied the contents of "One Country, Two Systems" and the "Sino-British Joint Declaration on Hong Kong" and knew that after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, a chief executive would be elected to manage Hong Kong's affairs. And obviously, if Chen Xiaotang wants to do it, it will be a sure thing.
After all, celebrities have certain advantages in politics, and like themselves, popularity is the biggest weapon.
"No, no, I don't think you understand me yet." Chen Xiaotang shook his head and said: "I said it, I just want to act, I don't want to be a politician, whether it's American or Hong Kong, I don't want to!" That's all!! ”
"Hehe, your idea is really unique." Reagan smiled: "If I could have been as ambitious as you back then, maybe I could have enjoyed a more comfortable life, acting, drinking tea, and getting together happily with my children, instead of being like now, hugging everywhere and without any freedom!"
Chen Xiaotang didn't know if the old man in front of him was telling the truth or a lie, because the other party was too good at acting.
"Hehe, maybe." Chen Xiaotang smiled faintly: "Although what you said is indeed good, many things cannot be turned back, so I chose this way, because I don't want to regret it when I get old!"
Yes, how many dreams can a person have?!
Maybe being the president of the United States looks glamorous on the surface, but is this really what you want?
I miss the experience on the stage and the humor on the screen......
Old man Reagan couldn't help but sigh, his true temperament was revealed for the first time.
“ok。 So let's not talk about this topic, let's talk about your views on the international situation! Reagan smoked a cigar and looked like a big guy. This made Chen Xiaotang a little embarrassed, and thought: "If I play the role of president in the future, will I also use a cigar as a prop?"
"I'm not familiar with that." Although Chen Xiaotang knew for a long time that the Soviet Union would disintegrate in the near future, East and West Germany would merge, and that the United States would use troops in Iraq, how could he tell Reagan, the Yankee, about these things? Of course, it was directly prevaricated.
"Don't be so nervous!" Reagan smiled mildly: "People say that a good filmmaker must have a keen sense. Isn't it true that you have to know the outside world beyond ordinary people? Hehe, besides, you're the most famous person in the world now, I don't believe it, you really don't know anything! ”
"Dizzy, it seems that if you don't say anything today, I'm afraid this old guy really won't believe it," Chen Xiaotang looked at the old fox-like Reagan. I had to quickly flash some information in my favor.
It's hard to trick a smart person into falling for it, but if what you're saying isn't pure deception. Then, I believe that no matter how smart people are, they can't help but be fooled.
"Do you really want to hear my opinion on the international situation?" Chen Xiaotang looked at Reagan, who had an unquestionable face. So, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you a little bit of my own opinion!"
Chen Xiaotang carefully recalled some of the things he saw on TV about the Cold War during this period in his previous life, and also thought of the Iran-Iraq War that began in the 80s, and finally said: "When do you think the Iran-Iraq War will completely stop?"
"Hehe, test me?" Reagan chuckled: "Now the UN Security Council has stepped in and is preparing Resolution 598." Solemnly demanding that Iran and Iraq unconditionally stop the war, this time the resolution has aroused the support of people all over the world, so ......" He looked at Chen Xiaotang, "Do you think it is still far from their truce?"
"Hehe, isn't that enough?" Chen Xiaotang took out Reagan's words, so he smiled: "So, how long do you think the Soviet Union can hold out?"
"Humph!" Speaking of the word "USSR". Reagan felt sullen, slapped his desk, and said angrily: "Our biggest enemy of the United States is the huge thing of the Soviet Union, and our idea of dragging it down has been there for decades. But it has not been successful, and if you ask me this question now, I can only tell you one thing: I don't know. ”
"Hehe, haven't you noticed something unusual?" Chen Xiaotang did not tell him directly, but guided Reagan's thinking step by step.
"You mean ......?" Reagan reacted instantly, looking at Chen Xiaotang with a straight face, as if he wanted to find something subconscious from his face, but unfortunately, since Chen Xiaotang learned to exercise, it is impossible for ordinary people to find anything else from the expression on his face.
"Hmm", Chen Xiaotang responded in a low voice, nodded and said: "Originally, they would not have fallen into a crisis so quickly, but since Gorbachev came to power in 1985 and implemented a series of so-called reform policies, I believe you have definitely seen the changes that have taken place in the Soviet Union in the past two years, right?"
"Hehe", Reagan grinned as he bit his cigar, "you say this is equivalent to not saying it, everyone can see the current difficult situation in the Soviet Union, as long as you buy a newspaper, you can see it at a glance!" ”
It seems that it is not possible to show his hand, Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly, "Then, dear Mr. President, I still say the same thing, how long do you think the Soviet Union can hold out?"
"How do I know this?" Reagan laughed, "I'm not the chairman of their Soviets!" ”
"Maybe, but I heard that your old man is preparing to use his pocket money to buy the bankruptcy ...... Soviet industry," Chen Xiaotang also said with a smile.
The old man Reagan was stunned, or directly stunned.
Suddenly, "Interesting, so interesting!" Reagan laughed, looked at Chen Xiaotang who didn't care, and suddenly said with a sinking face: "How do you know this?"
Chen Xiaotang shrugged, "Like you said, buy a newspaper!" ”
Reagan, speechless.
"You'd better not talk about such a thing, after all, ......"
Without waiting for Reagan to finish, "Don't worry, dear Mr. President, those are my guesses; Besides, I didn't want to say it in the first place, hehe, this is what you, Mr. President, asked me to say. ”
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Reagan waved his hand helplessly: "I'm done talking about the economy." Now that we've talked about the state of the world, let's talk about women! I guess this topic is definitely handy for you?"
"Don't say that." Chen Xiaotang was flattered and said: "As a public figure, the most taboo thing is this kind of lace news; Besides, my girlfriend is in Hong Kong, and I'm wandering around North America alone, so what's so handy?"
"Haha, do you still want to hide it from me?" Grinning smirkantly as Reagan bit his cigar, he pulled open the drawer and tossed over a stack of photos, "See for yourself." ”
"Dizzy, the president is playing secretly ~ shooting?" As soon as Chen Xiaotang saw these photos, a flame immediately rose in his heart. Stared at Reagan and said in a deep voice: "Mr. President, I think you should give me a good explanation for this matter!"
Looking at those photos again, almost all of them are some tryst scenes of him and Madonna being secretly photographed together.
Of course, as an entertaining public figure, this kind of photo should have appeared in the hands of the gossip paparazzi, not on the president's desk, which shows the "importance" of the White House to Chen Xiaotang, and the agents who were originally responsible for maintaining world peace and protecting the security of the White House. even temporarily filled the paparazzi duties!
"Angry?" Reagan grinned and took out a bottle of red wine and two glasses from his desk, unscrewed the lid. While pouring the wine, he said with a smile: "If you want to blame, then you can only blame yourself!"
"Myself?" Chen Xiaotang was simply angry, and sneered: "Although you have a state apparatus, you must know that I can still sue individuals for violating them, the United States is a country that stresses democratic laws, isn't it?!"
"Hehe, don't be angry yet, come on. Have a drink! Reagan took out the wine, and then forcefully stuffed a glass in Chen Xiaotang's hand, and he himself took a sip and said: "Hehe, who made you so generous to throw out 10 billion yuan at once to save the world, and compare our national government departments!" Imagine for yourself, facing a monster like you. What will we do? I dare to say that I am definitely not the only one with this kind of photo, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Japan, and even the mainland of China~! ”
"For. Why?" Chen Xiaotang said helplessly, could this be Mu Xiu Yulin?" Why are your eyes on me? I didn't do anything wrong_, is this what a politician is called?! ”
“no! no! I'm not a politician, I'm just an old man who is about to retire forever! Reagan looked quite serious, but what he said almost made Chen Xiaotang depressed to death, he took a sip of red wine, and couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, old man, you should invest in the Soviet Union, invest a lot, if the estimate is good, there will be two or three years before the bankruptcy of the Soviet Union, and you will be killed!
"Drunkard, it seems that you are very unconvinced!" Reagan slowly raised his eyes, took another sip of red wine, blinked and said, "Some things have rules, and this is the game." And you're playing too hot, so hot that you steal the glory of others, hehe~ You said that in this case, we don't pay attention to you, so who else do you care?"
"That can't spy on me......" Chen Xiaotang was angry, and his chest became even tighter.
"Don't worry, no one will announce these things!" Reagan looked down at his steps and smiled, "Do you think you're still interested in watching this kind of thing, an old guy like us who is dying?"
"Then what are you giving me this?" Chen Xiaotang's thinking at this moment was obviously chaotic, and he couldn't remember what Reagan meant by doing this.
"You're a smart person, you should think of it." Reagan patted him on the shoulder, then smiled: "But your girlfriend is really superb, really, I swear to God, maybe you don't know, I'm also a fan of hers!"
Old man Reagan is a Madonna fan?!
It's so grassy!
But alas, he had nothing else to do but smile wryly and stare dryly.
"Haha~......" Reagan laughed loudly and said funny: "Drunkard, when you are angry, I actually feel more handsome than you laugh."
Chen Xiaotang was speechless, so he had to lift the old man Reagan's red wine bottle, and filled a bottle in a few sips, which made Reagan depressed and shouted: "God, that's the Bordeaux that I have treasured for 40 years, and a bottle is worth tens of thousands of dollars!" You devil...... You ......"
Chen Xiaotang shrugged, "I just said why is this wine so unpleasant, it turns out that it is expired!" God willing. Don't let me have diarrhea, or I'll come and ask for a doctor...... Amen! ”
"Oh God! Forgive this ignorant guy in front of you! Reagan was almost crying, a bottle of the best Bordeaux red wine worth tens of thousands of dollars, made at least 70 years old, turned into expired spoiled things in his mouth, which simply made Reagan's heart bleed!
Chen Xiaotang's reaction to this was that he still shrugged.
"Alas, forget it, I suffered a loss today." Reagan shook his head as he lifted the bottle and looked at the bottom of it. But I found that there was no drop, and I couldn't help but feel depressed again, turned around and said with a wry smile: "You kid remembered for me, red wine is like a woman, the best red wine is like a best woman, only a man who knows how to appreciate it will enjoy the taste."
Chen Xiaotang smiled, "I've been taught, it seems that you know women better than me, and I don't know if your lady knows?!" ”
Reagan. "I ......."
"Ahem, it's almost dinner!" Reagan looked at his watch. So he took Chen Xiaotang's hand and said, "Don't talk about this...... Let's go and try my wife's cooking. ”
"How is the craft, can you eat down?" Chen Xiaotang deliberately shrunk his neck and asked very carefully.
"Don't go if you're afraid of death." Reagan feigned anger and said: "You can eat my wife's cooking, that's your blessing, others can't eat it if they want to!"
"Is it really that good?" Chen Xiaotang looked at the proud Reagan very thief, and suddenly said something that made him almost have a stroke: "Since your wife cooks so well, hehe." Then as long as I come to the United States in the future, I will come to your White House to enjoy it, do you think it?"
Reagan: "I...... You think beautifully. ”
Mrs. Reagan Nancy? Reagan used to be an actor, although her current age has long allowed her to pass the golden age of a woman, but she looks very young and does not look so old at all when she is properly maintained.
And Nancy? Reagan also expressed a warm welcome to Chen Xiaotang's arrival, and even brought him slippers himself. A very beautiful and kind woman. This is Chen Xiaotang's evaluation of her.
"Dear child. What would you like to eat?" Nancy? Reagan said generously.
"I don't know this very well, well, it's up to you, madam, to decide!" Chen Xiaotang really didn't like Western-style dinners, so he had no choice but to give the choice to Mrs. Nancy.
"My dear. Make your best black pepper steak, I'm my favorite, and this little guy will love that delicious too. Reagan said with a smile.
"Alright then, you guys talk slowly!" After Nancy finished speaking, she turned around and went into the kitchen, while Chen Xiaotang was pulled by Reagan to sit down.
At this time, Reagan seemed more cordial, but Chen Xiaotang didn't dare to take it lightly, thinking about the old man in front of him who used "Star Wars" to drag down the huge Soviet Union and turn an American into a superpower among "one superpower and many powers...... Countless ironclad proofs prove that the old man in front of him, who was born as an actor and star, is giggling on the surface, but in fact, he is definitely a political bull.
Chen Xiaotang's expression changed and was taken into the eyes of the old man Reagan, but the old fox was not disappointed, but faintly happy, because he now found that Chen Xiaotang, a young man, is actually quite in line with his taste, he has this kind of city government at a young age, he can not be overwhelmed by his own momentum, and what is more valuable is that he knows how to "hide clumsy", and he does not have the arrogance of young people after being promoted...... Well, such young people are still more interesting.
In the future, under Chen Xiaotang's deliberate restraint of emotions and words and deeds, it still seems to be relatively harmonious. In particular, Mrs. Nancy's cooking skills are really good, and the pepper steak is delicious, and it tastes even more delicious when paired with President Reagan's treasured red wine.
After a beautiful dinner, Chen Xiaotang finally had a full stomach, wiped his mouth unsatisfied, and then chatted with Reagan for a while, and then said goodbye politely. It's just that when he left, Mrs. Nancy still enthusiastically told him to get married quickly, so that the old couple could go and ask for a cup of wine to drink, this proposal made Chen Xiaotang smile bitterly, but he still nodded happily and agreed.
Seeing that Chen Xiaotang drove away from the White House with the support of his own bodyguards. The old man Reagan looked at the back of the convoy with a smile, and the lady Nancy next to him couldn't help but laugh: "This young man is very energetic, just like when you were young."
"Really? When I was as young as him, I wasn't as successful as he was! ”
"But you're more ambitious than he is, aren't you?" Nancy shook his hand.
Reagan smiled: "Do you think he doesn't?" It's just hidden......" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation, monthly pass,
