History is the simplest and non-contradictory interpretation of known historical sources, and by definition it seems that only one history can be used, and all historians should be unemployed. Historical sources are documents, archaeological discoveries, historians' statements. There are two attitudes in governing history: the scientific attitude is to say whatever it is, and the second is the attitude of party spirit, which is not to say anything.

This is not what Sun Ziming said, as a person who has achieved fame and has never been mixed in the system, he has not made such a three-point comment. However, he was about to quote the classic words of the writer whom he admired so much, because the two guests sitting in the drawing-room had brought a script and wanted him to direct it.

After reading the script hastily, Sun Ziming put it on the dining table, drank milk and chewed bread, and then said quickly in English unhappily: "Secretary Xiong, you are from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this is the script of the Peking Film Studio, and you have a fart relationship?" ”

Secretary Xiong smiled bitterly, and said quickly in English: "Director Sun, you don't think that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is an independent department, right?" ”

Sun Ziming waved his hand and continued to eat his breakfast, and when he finished eating that little thing, he said with a straight face: "Secretary Xiong, I treat you as a friend, it doesn't mean that you have some unreasonable requests, and I will agree to you." There are some things, not to mention friends, even if it is my family, I will not sell it. ”

"Director Sun"

Sun Ziming interrupted him, "Maybe you don't know, there is an old saying called 'The sky and the earth are big, but the big is not the truth'!" I've made political achievements for you, but I'm going to smash my job, aren't you a little too strong? ”

The leader next to him saw what Sun Ziming meant, scratched his ears and cheeks, and wanted to interject several times, but the two of them didn't give him a chance at all. Finally, when Secretary Xiong was speechless, the leader hurriedly answered: "People are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads!" Director Sun, your university project is stuck, and there will always be a way to do some detours. Besides, this movie will not be released overseas, forget it, you can make your own decision. ”

Sun Ziming stopped chewing, threw the bread slices on the table, stood up, and said in Mandarin with a Xiangxi accent with a calm face: "Vice Minister Zheng, right?" You have given me such a big problem, it is nothing more than that the private university has moved your interests, and you want us to be in a dilemma, right? I don't like to go around in circles, make an offer! ”

"You", the white and chubby Vice Minister Zheng also jumped up from the sofa, and just wanted to speak, but found himself speechless. His chest rose and fell a few times, Vice Minister Zheng endured his anger and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sun, do you know what you are talking about? ”

Sun Ziming left the dining table, sat on the sofa opposite, and said disdainfully: "Vice Minister Zheng, I know your subtext. Do you know why I didn't even go back for the Chinese New Year? As long as we have a few brothers and one overseas, anyone who can figure out some tricks to fix us has to think about the consequences. ”

Secretary Xiong hurriedly played a round, Sun Ziming didn't eat him at all, and sometimes the wicked people were even more scared, "Vice Minister Zheng, do you know how rich I am?" Before New Year's Day, my financial advisor said to me, 'Boss, congratulations, you're already one of the top 10 richest people in the U.S., and your wealth is growing fast!' I will only be 30 years old next year, and it is estimated that by the time I am 40 years old, it is not impossible for me to become the richest man in the world. ”

Vice Minister Zheng has never seen such a person, his status is already so high, and he is still trying to see the poor dagger as soon as he comes up, "Mr. Sun, when you reach your status, you have to speak responsibly!" ”

Sun Ziming shrugged his shoulders and said sheepishly: "No, as long as I'm happy, I can say whatever I want, as long as I don't let reporters hear it." I know what you want to say, nothing more than what you stand for and what it will be like to go against you. What I'm going to sue you is that you can't represent anyone, not even yourself. A friend of mine said very thoroughly, the so-called official position is just a piece of paper, and there will always be a day when he will step down. I guess your children are definitely not as big as me, and their future achievements will definitely not be higher than mine, you can play with me now, and beware of me playing them to death in the future! ”

This kind of hooligan face, not to mention that Vice Minister Zheng has never seen it, and even Secretary Xiong, who is quite familiar with Sun Ziming, has never seen it, but he just said so, and directly used other people's descendants as bargaining chips. If it is in the officialdom, this is a big taboo, it is an enemy of everyone, but this bastard is not a person in the officialdom, not even the people of the Celestial Empire!

After defeating the other party's arrogance, Sun Ziming changed his tone, "Vice Minister Zheng, aren't you used to my style?" I was able to start a self-made business in Hong Kong, go to Hollywood alone, and make a fortune, not because I can make movies, but because I can't make movies. I am a person who values love and likes to share interests, so I have more and more friends and fewer and fewer enemies. ”

Taking out the tea set from under the coffee table, Sun Ziming made tea like a humble gentleman, his movements were soothing and elegant, changing the rogue face just now.

"Vice Minister Zheng, taste it, this is the real tea from the old tea garden of West Lake."

The change of face like a Sichuan opera made Vice Minister Zheng cry and laugh, "Director Sun, you deserve to be a director." ”

"You're gracious, 'History is the simplest and non-contradictory interpretation of known historical sources, and by definition it seems that only one history can be used, and all historians should be out of work.'" Historical sources are documents, archaeological discoveries, historians' statements. There are two attitudes in governing history: the scientific attitude is to say whatever it is, and the second is the attitude of party spirit, which is not to say anything. ’

Look at your age, you should have been born before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and you know some history better than me, right? ”

For a while, Vice Minister Zheng didn't know what this bastard wanted to say, so he had to be silent.

Sun Ziming didn't expect him to answer, and said to himself: "In fact, history is 'success and defeat', history is like the Yellow River, although it eventually flows into the sea, it has nine twists and eighteen bends. You may not have been to Taiwan, but I have been, and there are gentle and frugal people who preserve many of our past and foreshadow our future. Hehe, don't object, it's unscrupulous to object! When I was a child, the production team cut the tail of capitalism, and now? ”

Vice Minister Zheng had to smile bitterly, he had never been to Taiwan, how could he refute it?

Seeing that Vice Minister Zheng's small teacup was empty, Sun Ziming refilled the cup, "Just like the tea you drink, only we Chinese can drink the taste, followed by the Japanese and Koreans, which is the mark left to us by our ancestors." Vice Minister Zheng, I don't know who is behind you, but there is something I have to warn. So far, the Taiwanese do not think that the two Chiangs are good people, nor do they think that they are necessarily bad people, but they have only invited them down from the altar and given them a fair and objective evaluation. ”

A bureaucrat like Vice Minister Zheng may have selfish thoughts, but it will definitely not be a straw bale, and under the domestic system, the straw bale will not rise to the top. Sun Ziming began to reason, and Vice Minister Zheng also talked to him about the difficulties of reality.

Like all countries, there are left, center, and right in the country, and perhaps those political ideas do not represent their true ideas, but they will definitely be used to seek political interests for themselves or their camps.

Sun Tzu Ming wants to build a private university, and the rightists must raise their hands in favor of it, and democracy and freedom have always been their ideas; Neutral is also conditionally welcomed, wanting advanced private universities to explore the path of education reform; The left, who claim to be the most resolute in the revolution, is the most vocal in opposition because it will touch their interests.

"Mr. Sun, last time you expressed in Peking that you wanted to invest most of your family property in education, and if it was not a private university but a private university, perhaps no one would object. I mean, do you understand? ”

Sun Ziming smiled bitterly: "Private universities are for profit, and national universities have also begun to be economy-oriented, but I am for the purpose of scattering money, so how can many people be embarrassed, right?" ”

Vice Minister Zheng also sighed, and simply revealed the bottom line, this young man would not accept additional quid pro quo at all, why let his leader grudge against him in the future? What's more, this young man is well-known for his retribution, the Li family in Hong Kong ruined his wife's future, and their entire group sniped at the Li family everywhere in the country, and it was useless for the heavyweight leaders to come forward to reconcile. Although the faces of the hooligans just now are hateful, they show their temperament, and they really want to settle a grudge, as he said, unless you can be the right for a lifetime, the descendants will fall into his hands sooner or later.

"Your application has been approved by the above, and you only need to go through the procedure at the Prime Minister's Office Meeting."

Yes? Sun Ziming excitedly splashed all the tea in his hand on his body, the back of his hand was red, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm out of shape!" ”

"It's okay, the joy of getting what you want, everyone is the same."

Seeing that Sun Ziming had lost his antagonism, Vice Minister Zheng also regained his composure, explained the matter as it was, and also turned the problem back.

"Mr. Sun, I agree with your way of doing business, in fact, it is also the case in politics, the so-called united front is to make more and more friends and fewer and fewer enemies. This script may be ill-conceived by us, but it is also a good intention. Nearly 50 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the descendants of the founding fathers have begun to grow up, and if you can make a film that reflects the revolutionaries of the older generation, it will be good for you and your friends. ”

Sun Ziming was silent for a while, what Vice Minister Zheng said was not unreasonable, if he took over their script, it would not only be good for them, but he would not suffer a loss. Those red second generations don't appear much in the news media, but they have a lot of influence and scary, so they are called red aristocrats.

After weighing it, Sun Ziming still declined, he has always advertised that he does not participate in politics, which is the foundation of his life. Stepping on two boats may have some benefits for the time being, but in the long run, the gains outweigh the losses.

Vice Minister Zheng didn't insist on it, and his leaders only showed favor to the second generation of reds, and achieved his goal regardless of success or failure.

"Well, then I'll report to the leader like this. Mr. Sun, there is another Jianyì, I hope you can consider it. ”

"You say"

Vice Minister Zheng also began to fulfill his own duties, persuading Sun Ziming to give up building schools in developed areas and go to underdeveloped areas.

"The distribution of our educational resources is too uneven, and it is unfair to some poor and backward areas, what do you think?"

Sun Ziming thought about it, and couldn't say that what others said was unreasonable, but it was difficult to achieve, so he had to shirk and say: "Minister Zheng, I can't be the master of this matter." ”

Vice Minister Zheng showed displeasure, and Sun Ziming had no choice but to explain: "For things that you don't understand, it's best to leave them to someone who understands." After you have approved my application, the first thing I will do is hire the president, and then he will do the preparation, and my only authority may be the naming of the university. In Western parlance, I was just the owner of the ship, telling the captain where I was going, and sailing was his business. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Yes, this is a public welfare, and I am only a funder, and I have no right to interfere in affairs that I don't know anything about."

As he was talking, Jill came, and Sun Ziming hurriedly confessed, "I'm really sorry, I have to go to New Haven, Yale's principal Levine wants to meet me." ”

Secretary Xiong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Is there hope?" ”

Sun Ziming smiled bitterly: "I don't know, you haven't given the exact news, so I have to drag it all the time and let Jill go to the side to inquire." Today, the crew is resting, and I'm getting ready to go hard. ”
