The call lasted for more than ten minutes before Bush Jr. put down his big brother and said to Gu Chen: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, the old guy on the phone just now is Bowers, a senior Senate member?" Johnson, who has been in the Senate for 15 years, will have a way to get the Singapore government to change its mind. ”

can serve in the U.S. Senate for 15 years, there is no doubt that this Bowers is far beyond ordinary people in terms of his own means and connections, and I believe that there should be no problem on the side of the Singapore government, and then it will be his turn to repay the favor...... The two stayed in the study for more than two hours, and discussed the specific matters of cooperation, and from time to time they could faintly hear hearty laughter outside the study, and it was obvious that the two had a good conversation, until Laura knocked on the door and called them to eat in the dining room, and they realized that it was noon.

The lunch was also sumptuous, and at the dinner table, George W. Bush told Gu Chen some interesting things that had happened in the United States recently, which made the atmosphere of the meal a lot more lively, Gu Chen could see that although the most famous wealthy family in the United States in the future abides by some etiquette handed down in the European Middle Ages, but there are not so many rigid and harsh rules, which may be the difference between the emerging and the old giants.

After lunch, George W. Bush personally drove Gu Chen to visit several scenic spots in the suburbs of Houston, and although the natural scenery of the United States was really not very good, George W. Bush still received his wishes. In order to welcome Gu Chen's arrival, Bush Jr. specially organized a drinking party in the evening, which was attended by many of Bush's friends, including many people from business and political circles, including the veteran Senator Bowers.

As soon as the reception began, George W. Bush led Gu Chen to find Powers: "Hey, Powers, I thought you wouldn't be able to come today." ”

"Can I take your words as a contempt for me? I've always been very good, yes, great, and I've been exercising for half an hour every day, don't you think I've lost a lot of weight lately, Alice said I had biceps last night. ”

Biceps? Gu Chen looked at the fat man in front of him who was at most 165 cm tall, but his weight must be more than 250 pounds, and his waist circumference was about the same as that of a pregnant woman who was ten months pregnant, and he almost didn't laugh, he still wanted to have biceps at this tonnage? He felt that this Bowers was not your average humor.

Bush Jr. had obviously learned this kind of Bowles-style humor for a long time, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "I think we can have a chance to discuss your biceps in the future, and now I will introduce you to a friend from Hong Kong, I think you should be no stranger to him." ”

After speaking, Bush Jr. leaned slightly towards Gu Chen's side and introduced: "This is Chen from Hong Kong?" Gu, he wants to be the owner of the largest film company and the largest record company, and he is also the majority shareholder of Hong Kong's second largest TV station, in addition to owning investment companies, catering companies and many other industries, and it only took him a year to create all this, you don't have to stare so wide, I also thought it was incredible when I first knew the Tao, and at the same time ......"

"Okay George, you can stop all that chatter, I don't think I know more about Mr. Gu than you." Powers stretched out his chubby hand and shook it with Gu Chen, and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Gu, it's a pleasure to meet you here, in addition to my identity as a Senate, I am also your fan." Although I don't understand your Chinese songs, I like the musical melody of the songs, especially your light music album "The Call of Nature", which has become my most precious collection, whenever I am troubled, or unable to control my anger, it can bring me a peace, that wonderful feeling as if the soul has been cleansed, it is really wonderful. ”

"I'm honored that my music can help you." For this powerful figure in the United States, Gu Chen naturally wanted to deliberately make friends: "Some time ago, the hardcover version of "The Call of Nature" was released, and the sound quality should be even better, and I will ask Hong Kong to send one to Mr. Bowers tomorrow." ”

"That's great, thank you so much for the gift, but what should I give in return?" Powers happily accepted Gu Chen's gift, but the next moment a trace of distress appeared on his face, but this distress only lasted for a moment: "Oh yes, George called me in the morning and said that he had opened an oil company with a Hong Kong friend, I think this Hong Kong friend should be Mr. Gu, right?" ”

Seeing Gu Chen nodding, Powers said again: "In the afternoon, I have asked my assistant to call the Director General of the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore in my name to reflect the incident, but now it seems that I need to make a phone call to Prime Minister Li Guangyao in person, otherwise I am worried that they will deliberately delay time." ”

"Thank you so much Mr. Bowers." Gu Chen said happily, but he was shocked by Bowles's sentence of 'personally making a phone call to Premier Li Guangyao', and he was both emotional and envious, and he didn't know when he would be able to reach this realm.

The two chatted for more than 10 minutes before Gu Chen and Bush Jr. walked away together, and the people who came tonight have a certain weight in the American political and business circles, and Bush Jr. introduced some of the main ones to Gu Chen one by one.

After the entertainment circled, more than an hour had passed, Gu Chen walked to the corner of the hall, and not long after he sat down on the sofa, a middle-aged man with yellow skin and black hair walked towards him, he quickly got up, came and touched his wine glass with him, and said with a smile: "Didn't bother Mr. Gu." ”

"Of course not, Mr. Liang, please take a seat." This middle-aged man's name is Liang Qiwen, the president of the Texas branch of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce of the United States, who first immigrated to the United States from Hong Kong and started by running a Chinese restaurant, and later expanded his business to trade and media.

After Liang Qiwen sat down, he said with a smile: "The Bush family has a huge influence in the United States, especially in Texas. Walker befriended, and looked at George? Walker has specially prepared for you tonight's cocktail party, and the friendship between you should be not shallow. ”

Hearing this, Gu Chen knew Liang Qiwen's thoughts, which was nothing more than seeing that he had a good relationship with Bush Jr. and wanted to get close to Bush Jr. through himself. In this regard, he didn't think there was anything, he himself met a lot of people through Bush Jr. tonight, so he smiled slightly and said: "It's just a chance acquaintance, not to mention a deep friendship, but Mr. Zhao has created such a big industry in the United States with his bare hands, which is really admirable." ”

Liang Qiwen saw that Gu Chen didn't go far to say more, so he naturally didn't entangle: "Hahaha, if you want to say that it is admirable, I think no one is more suitable than Mr. Gu, although Mr. Gu is in Hong Kong, you can often see your news in the United States." Earning the first pot of gold in life by singing, and then creating achievements that anyone will be eyed by in just one year, can only be described as incredible. ”

Gu Chen still smiled faintly: "It's just luck." ”

"That's really modest, speaking of which, my son is about the same age as you, but he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and he doesn't even go to college, but he is 108,000 miles behind you, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will let that kid learn from you."

"Hehe, everyone's situation is different, Ling Gongzi has you to help him lay a good foundation, and it doesn't matter how easy it is for a few years. Like me, everything is on your own. ”

"There is an old saying in Chinese that 'children from poor families are in charge early', and it is true, if it were not for the forced by life, Mr. Gu would probably still be a university student now."

"So it's really hard to predict the world......"

"Gu ......"

Before Gu Chen finished speaking, he heard a childish voice, he turned his head to look, and saw little Barbara and little Jenner in little princess clothes running towards him......
