Chapter 203: Simon and Duru

Jazz originated in the United States at the end of the 19th century, and is a representative of black culture and black music, as well as a symbol of the cultural fusion of black and white people.

In the 30s of the 20th century, jazz became the vane of popular music in the United States, and many white people began to play this kind of music.

The brisk and swaying rhythm and the improvisational expression of emotions are destined to become a genre of jazz.

Yang Ye's choice of black singers to sing jazz is also particular, because early blacks and black music were not welcomed in the United States, especially those in the upper class of the United States.

It's like what happens to Infinite Dreams in the United States right now.

Yang Ye came this time, not only to portray himself as a 'victim' and 'vulnerable', but also to take out the banner of 'racial discrimination'.

And he and Infinite Dream are the discriminated against, and the Ao Guanhai government, as well as giants such as Microsoft, are discriminators.

Once the identities of the two are decided, the infinite dream will gain the sympathy of the American people, as well as blacks and Chinese Americans.

Then he united with the opposition congressmen of the Republican Party, universities such as Haval, Processing, and MIT, and American scientists to put pressure on the Oguanhai government.

With the general righteousness of racial discrimination in hand, the opposition of the Republican Party will definitely attack the ruling party of Okukanhai like crazy, and there is no need to be taboo about Yang Ye's 'red background'.

In fact, the main reason why Li Lingyu was given a cold reception when he approached those opposition legislators was because of his identity.

It is an indisputable fact that Yang Ye cooperated with the Chinese government.

In terms of China policy, whether it is the Democratic Party of Oguanhai or the Republican Party and other opposition parties. have kept the pace all the time.

The unemployment rate in the United States, which has been increasing year by year in recent years, has made them hate the Chinese government.

The media propaganda made them feel that it was 'Made in China' that harmed them.

The Chinese not only took away their scholarships, but also their jobs, causing the decline of American manufacturing......

Well, when it comes to that, there is so much bitterness for the Americans. They can talk to you all day.

They never think about where the cheap goods in the supermarket come from and what causes them to lose their jobs.

……

7 p.m.

In a five-star hotel in Silicon Valley, Yang Ye has just met with a group of senior executives of Infinite Dream Overseas Company and learned some latest developments from them.

News about his arrival in the United States was playing on the television in the suite. and speculation on the views of the host and guests.

They all think. Yang Ye personally came to 'put out the fire' this time, either to negotiate with IBM and other companies, or to cooperate with the Aoguanhai government.

Of course, their speculation was not made out of nothing.

In the afternoon, Yang Ye really received a private call from the Democratic Party whip.

He revealed his intention to cooperate on the phone. And extend an olive branch to the poplar leaves.

Probably this means that we are more powerful than the Chinese government. The market is also broader. Those who know the times are Junjie, brothers.

"Okay, please come up."

As he spoke, Yang Ye turned off the TV. Pick up a classic jazz record from the 60s from the table and place it on the gramophone.

This gramophone is also an antique, but in the 30s of the last century, it was outright high-tech.

As the button presses, the tray spins the record, and a song "WhatawonderfulWorld" comes out of the horns.

That unique taste of the years, softened the original singer Louis. Armstrong's hoarse and rich voice sang the taste of life and life.

Even Wang Feng, who didn't know English, couldn't help but frown. It's so feeling!

After seeing their expressions, Yang Ye crossed his hands and made a performance salute, and then raised his voice and sang together:

"I saw green trees and red roses......"

"I can't help but think about what a wonderful world it is......" "I see blue sky and white clouds...... They're saying, "I love you......"

"Hehe......"

Looking at Yang Ye's vivid expression, the three girls covered their mouths and laughed, and at the same time applauded his voice.

After the evolution of the brain domain, Yang Ye can easily control the brain to imitate each other, although the singing is not as good as the original singing, but it has a different taste.

"Quack, applause!"

Li Lingyu said with a smile: "Boss, you must sing this song when you go to Haval tomorrow." ”

"No problem."

As he was talking, suddenly the doorbell rang, and the waiter led a middle-aged white man in casual clothes to stand outside the door.

His name is Simon. Al, the most loyal aide to the Republican Party chairman, came today to talk to Yang Ye on behalf of his boss and most of the congressmen.

Originally, Yang Ye wanted to invite the party whip, but because there were too many media outside the hotel, he asked an assistant to replace it.

"Thanks, it's your tip." Yang Ye will take out a hundred dollars and hand it to the waiter.

The young waiter hurriedly excused himself, "Mr. Paul, you have given too much. I ......"

"No need to excuse yourself, your service is worth so much." Yang Ye smiled and returned the money.

He did this to show Simon, including this song "What a Wonderful World".

According to the information provided by Wang Yan, Simon is not only an assistant to Republican Party Chairman Ms. Claire, but also her behind-the-scenes military advisor and lover.

Simon, a former soldier in his youth, joined the White House Secret Service team as a full-time bodyguard for those lawmakers.

Simon's life was not good, his father and mother divorced early, and his wife's affair also made him look down on love......

He then became a drug addict and an alcoholic, and for a time lost his job.

It was during his most difficult time that Simon met his mentor in life, Mr. Durroux.

Mr. Durroux was born into a political family, and his grandfather was one of the first politicians in the United States.

At the age of 60, he was elected majority whip, and Claire, the current chairman of the Republican Party, was his daughter.

Durroux loved black music all his life, and what is being sung on the gramophone now is one of his favorite songs during his lifetime.

"The ancients said: Seeing things and thinking about people, hearing the sound and crying. I'm afraid it's Mr. Simon now......"

The afterglow swept over the sparkle in the corner of Simon's eye. Yang Ye gently closed the door and removed two glasses and a bottle of whiskey from the wine rack.

Whiskey is an alcoholic beverage made from grains that Westerners consider to be the water of life.

So the quick way to become friends with a Westerner is to learn to drink whisky.

Whiskey, like Chinese liquor, is an evergreen in the Western liquor world, enjoyed by both upper-class and working-class drinkers.

Generally, the alcohol content of whisky is about 43°, which is considered a low-alcohol alcohol for most Chinese who drink alcohol, while Westerners such as the United States regard whisky as a spirit.

"I can't help but think about what a wonderful world this is!"

"I can't help but think of ......"

As the song ended, Simon's thoughts were brought back to the days when he had worked with Mr. Duru. Then I heard the gentleman say to himself:

"Hi. Don't be so serious, have a drink, boy! ”

"Would you like a drink? Simon? Yang Ye handed over half a glass of whiskey, and his expression was just right.

"YES, THANK YOU PAUL."

Simon took a sip of whiskey and said, "Something." It was really unforgettable. Mr. Paul also likes this jazz song? ”

"Ugh. How to say it. ”

Yang Ye invited him to sit down and said, "I didn't like it before." But now I'm a fan of the singer. Because this song is so wonderful. ”

"Let me introduce you, this is Li Lingyu, my current boss. This is our financial ambassador......"

"Hello Mr. Simon." Wang Yan smiled and shook hands with Simon.

"Hello Ms. Wang Yan, hello Ms. Shiru......"

A brief understanding seems to have brought Simon back to work, which is not what Yang Ye wants to see.

He looked at Simon with a smile and said, "Sir likes this song too." How did you fall in love with jazz? ”

"Nope." Simon held his wine glass, and his handsome cheeks once again showed a wistful expression.

"Like you, I don't appreciate jazz. But love the song. It reminds me of an unforgettable person. ”

"Oh?"

Yang Ye asked with interest: "That must be a very respectable elder." ”

"Yes." Simon nodded: "He is a good and wise man, and he saved my ......"

"......, I remember that day when I was so drunk, Mr. Duran kicked me up with an umbrella and said, 'Hey bastard, get out of my place!'

"Hahaha......"

Hearing this, Yang Ye couldn't help but laugh with Simon, and Wang Shiru and the four of them also chuckled one after another.

But what they laughed at was Yang Ye's 'pretending interest' acting skills.

Yang Ye had already read Simon's information, so Wang Shiru and others thought that Yang Ye acted well.

As everyone knows, he was really touched by Simon's friendship with Duru.

After chatting for about an hour, Simon talked with Yang Ye about business with a hint of drunkenness.

To put it simply, Ms. Claire is interested in working with Yang Ye.

She hopes that Yang Ye can come up with some 'benefits' to help her, so that she can repay Yang Ye.

For example, three patents for plant power generation, cell battery, and water purification solution have been authorized.

Of course, these are not free.

It's like Huaxia's investment promotion, she just wants to introduce the patent to the United States, and it is best to hand it over to her supporters, so that she can kill two birds with one stone.

And the benefits she has received are the support of public opinion and party parliamentarians, as well as income companies.

"Look, I did what Ao Guanhai couldn't do. Ao Guanhai is not going to roll the calf quickly!? ”

"Comrades, it's no good to follow Ao Guanhai, only I can help you win benefits and help you solve work problems, so support me next time."

The above example is not quite appropriate, but that's probably what she thinks.

"I'm so glad to meet you Simon, please tell Ms. Claire: I can authorize everything except the technical core."

"I'm also glad to meet you, Paul. She should be happy to hear the news. ”

Simon walked out of the suite with a smile, and at this time Yang Ye remembered something, took off the record from the gramophone and handed it to him: "I hope you like this gift." ”

"It's ......" Simon didn't expect him to give the record to himself.

"Just a few dollars replica!"

Saying that, Yang Ye asked humorously: "This shouldn't be considered a bribe, right?" Hehehe......"

"Thank you, I love it."

……

Walking out of the hotel, the sky suddenly fell and it rained, Simon looked back at Yang Ye's window and raised his collar.

He had already seen Yang Ye's intentions, but he had to admit in his heart: this alien kid was very likable.

"Maybe we can be friends...... Is that right? Mr. Duroux. ”
