Mr. Lee's Manhattan Zeus Company owns 40 percent of Walt Disney Studios, and Mr. Lee became an investor in the film industry.

After the exchange with KBK, that night, at the invitation of the Disney brothers, Li Kangping came to a hotel in downtown Los Angeles.

The film party is held in the banquet hall on the first floor of this hotel, where uncles and uncles are constantly spinning around young girls, and men and women of similar age and self-esteem hug each other in pairs, stepping on complex and fashionable dance steps, and guarding the corners of the dance floor. There are also many girls dancing solo or helping the drummers in the band to beat for a while to catch their breath.

The lights dimmed, the spotlight hit the center of the stage, and a tall redhead sang in a trembling soprano voice, drawing applause and screams from the audience.

Li Kangping slapped a few times, and he said: "I didn't read or heard it wrong, Maggie is actually a singer too?" ”

Maggie, a big star who has always been seen only on screen, appears here and conquers ladies and gentlemen with her highly professional singing voice.

"She started out as an opera singer and later acted in films." Walt Disney held up a glass bigger than the bowl he used to wash his hands, and the liquid in the glass was champagne.

It's normal to meet big stars at parties in Los Angeles. Li Kangping didn't show much surprise, he said: "Walter, you said that Roy is one of your brothers, so how many brothers do you have?" ”

"I have three older brothers." Walt Disney said, "Our family was Irish immigrants, and my father's habit was to move if he was unlucky, and he moved to Chicago, where I was born. Did I tell you that my father was a skilled carpenter who built houses in Chicago, sold them when he built them, and gradually gained some savings to support his family? However, in 1901, the year I was born, the construction industry suddenly went into a slump, and my father had to work as a carpenter in another company, working seven days a week for only one dollar a day. It was a tough time. ”

"Chicago? You know? It's a violent city, and gangs are rampant? Al Capone, the nation's largest moonshiner, is based in Chicago. Of course? I didn't have a ban on alcohol when I was younger, but the gangsters in Chicago were crazy by then. Gangsters storming our neighbor's house? Killed all the men in that house in front of the women. Oh, so tragic? What a pathetic family. Walt Disney said with palpitations? After witnessing all this, my parents thought Chicago was a sin city, so we moved again, to the town of Marceline in rural Kansas. ”

"A large city with a large population and a developed economy? There will always be gangsters. Li Kangping couldn't help but think of Brother Xun and Arthur Compton? They were in Chicago.

In fact, the strength of the New York gangs is not inferior to the Chicago gangs. We, good citizens, live our lives and don't take the initiative to provoke gangsters.

Once the box of childhood memories is opened, it can't be closed. Walt Disney continued: "Land in the countryside was very cheap back then, $20 an acre. My father bought 45 acres of land in the Kansas countryside? Build a farm there, and then? Our whole family became farmers. ”

"Aside from the murder of my next-door neighbor, I have no other memories of living in Chicago. But I vividly remember living on a Kansas farm. Is that a beautiful farm? There's a big meadow in front of you, with light willow branches blowing in the wind? And two orchards? There is a kind of apple in the garden called the Wolf River apple? They are so large that the farmers in the neighborhood come to watch. ”

"The men in the family are all busy with the farm, and so is the mother, who cooks, washes, and sews for the whole family, takes care of the vegetable garden, and makes butter so that she can go to the grocery store in town to exchange for some necessities. Dr. Lee, did you know that my mother's butter was pure and delicious, so the grocery store owner set up a counter to sell my mother's butter! Speaking of which, Walt Disney is filled with unparalleled joy and warmth.

Infected by Walt Disney's joy, Li Kangping raised his glass and said with a smile: "Let's toast Walter, the 'farm boy', and a glass of 'Walter's mother's super delicious butter'." ”

Two large champagne glasses collide gently. Walt Disney added: "If it weren't for the fact that I met paintings and movies, I would have willingly been Walter, the 'farm boy' for the rest of my life." ”

"Walter, is your farm still functioning?" Li Kangping asked.

Walt Disney suddenly became sad: "When I was eight years old, my father unfortunately fell ill with typhoid fever, and soon turned to pneumonia. At that time, my eldest brother and second brother slipped away in an irresponsible manner, and the burden of the whole family fell on Roy, who was only 16 years old, which is one of the reasons why Roy now looks so mature and sophisticated. But, Dr. Lee, you can trust Roy to the fullest, he is the most responsible man I have ever met. How can a man who is not responsible for his family be responsible for his career? ”

"Eventually, we sold our farm in the country, and we moved again, to Kansas City. If possible, I will definitely buy back the Disney farm in Marcelinetown. Walt Disney swore that "there will always be my happiest and happiest childhood memories there, and yes, I will buy Disney Farm back and spend as much as I want." Oh, that was my childhood paradise! ”

"Walter the Farm Boy is cute, but I don't want to lose Walter, the Master of Animator." Li Kangping said.

"Dr. Lee, as I said earlier, I met painting and film, which is what I will fight for all my life. I just want to buy back the fond memories of Walter, the farm, which is the fond memories of Walter, the farm boy. Walt Disney explained.

"Oh, old Walter." Li Kangping found that art masters often have a certain complex, nostalgia, homeland, romance, innocence, or whatever.

Big star Maggie stepped down from the stage, replaced by a group of sexy dancers in short skirts, exposing large areas of skin on the lower part of their necks, and glittering golden shards on their bodies, and they began to perform hot dances.

"The sunshine, the flowers, the great climate, the beautiful girls, I love California, yes, I love California." Li Kangping admired the passionate performances of the dancers, and seemed to have an attitude of "I don't miss New York here".

Walt Disney looked around, and he said to himself, "Where did Roy go?" Roy promised to bring the girl over, but he disappeared himself. ”

Li Kangping asked, "Which room is my room?" ”

Walt Disney took out a key from his suit vest and handed it to Li Kangping: "You live in 205 tonight." ”

At this time, a young girl walked to the table of Li Kangping and Walt Disney.

She was dressed like a dancer on stage, with the only difference being that she wore a strap around her neck, on which hung a delicate little box in which some merchandise was displayed.

"Cigars, cigarettes, chewing gum, do you want them?" She asked.

Walt Disney had no desire to buy anything, and he asked rhetorically, "Did I see you somewhere?" Brand Bar? ”

"Uh-huh, it's possible." The saleswoman said.

There are many Hispanic residents in California, and this salesperson looks a lot like Hispanic. Her eyes are large, her eyelashes are long, her hair color is black, she is tall and tall, and her calves are straight and long.

Miss Salesperson is a typical Latin beauty, but the fly in the ointment is that she has a smirking poker face at such a joyful, drunken party.

"Cigars, cigarettes, chewing gum, do you want them?" She asked again, still with a poker face.

"Oh, it looks like she's not going to let anyone go." Li Kangping said to Walter with a smile.

Immediately, Li Kangping took out a $100 bill, put it on the dining table, and then took a pack of $2 and 50 cents of cigarettes in the sales box.

"Sir, do you have any change?" The saleswoman was finally moved, she looked surprised, and she said, "I can't find $100, I have to go to the bar and change money, if you're willing to wait." ”

"Don't look for it, the rest is your tip." With two fingers, Li moved the $100 bill an inch in her direction.

"Oh...... Oh, my God...... Oh......" She was startled by the surprise and hesitated whether she should accept the unprecedented tip.

Li Kangping's elbow of one hand was propped up on the round table, his palm supported his chin, and the index and middle fingers of the other hand were brought together in a hook gesture.

Li Kangping stared at her big eyes and said, "Can you do me a favor, just laugh, just laugh." ”

She smiled, showing her white teeth, and smiled charmingly.

"You see, your upper lip is shorter, which makes your smile attractive. I wondered, what do girls like you enjoy doing? Let's say you're standing here, by the way, let me touch you, and it's like this, I touched your calf with my fingertips, do you like it? Li Kangping's fingers rubbed against her bare calves, gently, slowly, up and down.

Her eyes gradually became tender and misty, she took a deep breath, took a deep breath again, her cheeks were rosy, and her body trembled slightly.

Li Kangping asked seriously: "I want to know, how can I please you?" I want to know everything about you, can you give me this chance? ”

She shook her neck, her head swayed from side to side, and she was silent for a few seconds before she said, "In another hour, I'll be off work." ”

Li Kangping said more seriously: "I have to have a room of 205, and you, please accept the tip you deserve." ”

She accepted the $100 and smiled even more charmingly.

"See you later." Li Kangping said.

"Okay." She gasped and left.

"Oh." Walt Disney took a sip of champagne and didn't say much.
