Chapter 425: May Friendship Endure Forever
Gu Chen specially transferred from New York to Washington, the purpose is very simple, that is, to congratulate the elder Bush on his successful election as the 41st president of the United States, and this will also be the first time he officially met with the elder Bush, when he arrived at the villa in the suburbs of Washington, the guard at the door of the villa stopped the car, these guards are all subordinate to the US Treasury Department Secret Service, and it is their duty to protect the safety of the president and vice president.
Gu Chen didn't have the idea of breaking this regulation, after all, this is a reasonable regulation, and he was about to ask the bodyguard to hand over the gun to the guard, one of the guards' walkie-talkie suddenly rang, this guard should be the leader, he walked away for a while, and when he came back, he directly opened the door and let him go, and did not ask for the bodyguard's gun to be confiscated. Seeing this, Gu Chen guessed that the head of the guard just now should have received instructions from Bush Jr.
As soon as the car drove into the villa, he saw Bush Jr. coming out of the villa, and before he got closer, he heard his laughter: "Gu, we meet again." ”
After hugging Bush Jr., Gu Chen said with a smile: "It's been several months since the last time I said goodbye to Ning Bo in China, and time really flies quickly, but it doesn't matter if it flies quickly, the main thing is whether it makes sense to see it, I came to congratulate your father this time." ”
"Hahaha......" Bush Jr. was obviously in a very good mood, and took Gu Chen's arm and walked towards the villa: "Let's go, my father is waiting for you in the study, originally he had a meeting this morning, and he knew that you were coming, so he specially postponed the meeting to the afternoon." ”
Walking up the stairs to the second floor of the villa, turning a corner, Gu Chen saw a spirited old man standing at the door of the study, he immediately stepped forward quickly, held the old man's outstretched hand, and had a faint smile on his face, not at all nervous because it was the future president of the United States who was standing in front of him. It's a sublimation of mentality. In his heart, the president of the United States is not very superior, and he does not think that he is one level lower than the president of the United States, on the contrary, he believes that his future will be the existence that even the president of the United States fears, and this extreme self-confidence makes his face always calm and calm: "Hello Mr. Bush, it is a pleasure to meet you in your private villa. ”
"Also. I congratulate you on your election as the 41st President of the United States. ”
"Hehe, thank you for your congratulations, and for your help, your donation is one of the strongest backing for me to be elected this time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a qiē to be so smooth, so it should be my heartfelt thanks to you. With that, Bush Sr. made a gesture of invitation to the study, and Gu Chen politely made the same gesture, and then the two walked into the study together.
After each of them sat down on the sand, the elder Bush said: "Today I read in the newspaper that Mr. Gu adopted two orphans in New York? ”
Gu Chen shrugged his shoulders lightly and said, "Yes." Originally, I didn't plan to attend the listing ceremony of the welfare home, but when I saw them, I thought of Barbara and Jenner, they are also twins, even the color of their heads, and they are equally cute, so I made this decision impromptuly, I hope they can have a happy childhood like Barbara and Jenner. ”
"Sure enough." Bush Jr. had a look that I had guessed correctly: "I believe those two little guys will be very happy to hear your words." ”
Listen to what George W. Bush said. Gu Chen's face showed a hint of helplessness: "You know, I've always wanted to be their godfather, but they didn't agree." ”
Thinking of the scene when the two daughters refused Gu Chen to be their godfather, Bush Jr. suddenly laughed and said: "I can't guess what they are thinking, but they miss you very much, if you come a few days later, maybe you can meet them in Washington." ”
"I miss them too. I think I haven't seen each other for more than a year, and I've definitely grown taller. As he spoke, Gu Chen couldn't help but show a look of remembrance on his face.
At this time, the elder Bush next to him said with a smile: "They have indeed grown taller, and they are not as naughty as they were when they were children." But as George said, I've heard them mention you several times, and I think your concern must be good news for them. And George can have a good friend like Mr. Gu, which is undoubtedly the best gift God has given him, and I am happy for him. ”
"Mr. Bush passed the award, my acquaintance with George was originally an accident, at that time I was just a singer, plus an ordinary businessman, but in Hawaii in the past few days we got along very happily and harmoniously, to use a Chinese word to describe, this is called 'fate', so I don't want the friendship between me and George to be mixed with too many interests, even if it has to be like this, I also hope that it is a win-win situation, even if George gets more benefits, I don't have any opinion, because I care more about our friendship."
Gu Chen's words are very straightforward, but in the eyes of Westerners who don't like hypocrisy and politeness, they can't be said to be straightforward, but sincere, and even more so in the eyes of Bush Sr. and Bush Jr., because Gu Chen not only said this, but also did it, and Tang Dynasty oil is a living example.
You must know that the Tang Dynasty Oil Company is already exploiting the oil of the Falkland Islands, and in the next 3o years, the 5% stake in the Tang Dynasty Oil Company owned by George W. Bush will bring him a steady stream of huge income, and almost all of these income will be given by Gu Chenbai.
Although George W. Bush has also contributed some strength to the company, those 'forces' are insignificant compared to the wealth worth tens of billions of dollars.
Bush Jr. patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and didn't say anything, but the look on his face proved that he was deeply touched by Gu Chen's words. Bush Sr. nodded and said, "Only such a friendship can last, and I also believe that your friendship with George will stand the test of time." ”
He didn't doubt whether Gu Chen's words were sincere, because not only did he have the facts of the Tang Dynasty Oil Company in front of him, he had already secretly investigated Gu Chen before this, and he didn't dare to say that he knew Gu Chen's character, but he also knew seven or eight points, and knew that Gu Chen valued affection and righteousness, and he had always given more than he asked for his relatives and friends, which was also one of the reasons why he had such a good sense of Gu Chen.
He got up and picked up an invitation card with gold rim from his desk and handed it to Gu Chen, and said with a smile: "The 2O day of next month is the day when I become the president of the United States, and I hope that Mr. Gu can come to attend the inauguration ceremony at the White House at that time, then I will be very happy." ”
Gu Chen took the invitation and said solemnly: "I will definitely go, and it is my honor to attend Mr. Bush's presidential inauguration." ”
Bush Sr. smiled and said, "If you don't mind your relationship with George, you can call me George Sr. in private." ”
Gu Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "In that case, old George, you should also call my name directly like George." ”
After speaking, Gu Chen and Bush Sr. glanced at each other, and then laughed heartily at the same time, sincere friendship is the foundation, but Gu Chen and Bush Sr. are not ordinary people, and it is destined that this friendship cannot be pure. For Gu Chen, it is very important for him to have a good personal relationship with the Bush family, the most powerful political family in the United States in the future. As far as Bush Sr. is concerned, having Gu Chen, the world's richest man, as a friend is definitely more beneficial than disadvantageous to the Bush family......
At noon, Gu Chen was left by Bush Sr. to eat, and after enjoying a delicious lunch, Gu Chen sat down for a while before getting up to say goodbye, during which the three of them were just chatting and did not say anything related to business and interests, so the atmosphere has been very relaxed and happy.
At the time of parting, Gu Chen hugged Bush Jr. and said: "After your father completes the presidential inauguration ceremony in January next year, you should have free time. ”
Hearing this, George W. Bush smiled and joked: "I've never been to Hong Kong, it's a beautiful place, but is this a formal invitation?" ”
"Of course, I'll send my private jet to pick you up in the U.S. if needed, although I'm mostly trying to pick up Barbara and Jenner."
As soon as these words came out, Bush Jr. suddenly laughed, opened his arms and hugged Gu Chen again, and said, "I wish you a smooth journey." ”
Returning to the hotel and walking into the living room, Gu Chen saw Anna and Catherine obediently sitting on the sand watching cartoons, and the next moment, Catherine, her more lively and outgoing sister, ran towards him, and shouted at the same time: "Daddy is back, Catherine misses you so much." ”
"Huh." Gu Chen laughed happily twice, bent down to hug Catherine, and kissed her heavily on that delicate little face: "Daddy misses you too." As he spoke, he looked at Anna, who was standing not far away, with a hint of shyness and timidity in her expression, and couldn't help but smile slightly, only to see him walk over and pick up Catherine with his other hand: "Is Anna like Daddy today?" ”
Anna nodded heavily, and then asked in a milky voice, "Daddy, have you had lunch?" Originally, Catherine and I wanted to wait for Daddy to come back and eat together, but Daddy didn't come back until 1 o'clock, and Aunt Monica was worried that we would be hungry so she let us eat first. ”
"What a good boy, Daddy has already eaten. Here, let Daddy kiss it. Gu Chen kissed Anna's little face, he now likes these two cute little Loli more and more, maybe liking children is his hidden nature.
