Chapter 160: Convincing President Roosevelt

''Yes, Mr. Hull, he's the professor at Princeton University. The guard attendant stopped and said earnestly.

''Oh, tell him to wait a moment, my dear Mr. President, Mr. Neumann is a brilliant scientist with unparalleled achievements in many respects, and as the saying goes, there is nothing to do in the Three Jewels, and I feel it necessary for you to receive him. Secretary of State Hull stopped his knife and fork and said seriously.

''I know him, actually, I've had a relationship with him, well, Stephen, you take him to the National Floor Reception Room, I'll be over in a moment.'' Roosevelt said with a shrug of his shoulders.

''Yes, Mr. President, as you commanded. Stephen said respectfully, hesitated for a moment, and asked uncertainly; ''Mr. President, will the Chinese also bring it along?''

''Oh, no, my dear Stephen, I'm talking about Mr. Neumann, and as for the Chinese, you just let him wait.'' Roosevelt spread his hands and said with a frown.

''Okay, Mr. President, I see. With a knowing smile on his face, Stephen turned and walked out.

Although the White House is the political heart of the United States, the official residence and office of the President of the United States, and although it is also heavily guarded, in fact it is not a military restricted area, and some of its places are open to the outside world, and the public can enter and visit, of course, government offices, presidential offices and their official residences, as well as places involving state secrets, are forbidden for outsiders to enter.

Qin Tianlong and Neumann were anxiously waiting for the result outside the White House, although Qin Tianlong was also anxious in his heart, but at least he could calm down on the surface, while Neumann looked even more anxious than him, and kept walking around, his anxious expression overflowing.

Looking at Neumann walking around, like an uneasy child, Qin Tianlong couldn't help but smile and said; ''Oh, dear Mr. Neumann, rest assured, Mr. President will receive you.'' β€˜β€™

Neumann shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and was about to speak, when the guard attendant Stephen walked over.

''Mr. Neumann, Mr. President promised to receive you, as for this Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, you can't go in. Stephen said solemnly.

β€˜β€™way?β€˜β€™ Neumann said in surprise; ''We came together, why can't he go in?''

''I'm sorry, I don't know, Mr. Neumann, you can ask Mr. President this question. Stephen spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

''Is it because he is Chinese?'' Neumann said unhappily with anger on his face.

''It's okay, Mr. Neumann, you can just go in.'' Qin Tianlong smiled and said noncommittally, but a faint sadness swelled up in his heart.

''Well, Qin, I won't let you down. Neumann patted Qin Tianlong on the shoulder, said comfortingly, turned around and walked in with Stephen.

Entering the national floor of the main building of the White House, Neumann clearly felt the majesty of the country's power and the thick sense of history, and involuntarily gave birth to a sense of awe in his heart, and his mood slowly calmed down.

Stephen did not bring Neumann to the president's office, nor to the conference room, but to a reception room, showing the specifications of the president's reception, and did not pay much attention to the meeting, Neumann calmed down at this time and did not express dissatisfaction.

''Mr. Neumann, Mr. President is dining, please be patient and good luck. Stephen ushered Neumann into the reception room, poured him a cup of coffee, said a casual remark, and walked away.

Neumann sat alone in a chair in the reception room, waiting patiently, but fortunately he did not wait long, and when he finished his coffee, the door was pushed open and President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull walked in.

In fact, Neumann had great respect for Roosevelt, in 1933, the United States had an unprecedented economic depression, capital was on the verge of collapse, a large number of workers were unemployed, Roosevelt was appointed as the president of the United States, implemented Roosevelt's New Deal, launched a series of effective bailout policies, quickly saved the American economy, his reputation was unparalleled, was widely loved, and appeared on the cover of the American "Time Magazine", becoming a figure of the times.

''Hi Mr. Neumann, are you alright?'' Roosevelt was the first to say hello, stretched out his hand to Neumann, and said enthusiastically.

''Hi Dear Mr. President, I'm fine, how about you?'' Neumann came back to his senses, flattered and shook Roosevelt's hand, and then shook hands with Secretary of State Hull.

''Mr. Neumann, do you have anything to do with me?'' After everyone took their seats, Roosevelt went straight to the point with a straightforward approach that is unique to Americans.

"Yes, Mr. President, I was entrusted with a deal with the U.S. government. Neumann was also unequivocal and directly stated his intentions.

''Oh? Wait, Mr. Neumann, you say you are entrusted by someone, but who are you entrusted with? Roosevelt said curiously.

''A Chinese, but he was turned away by Mr. President. Neumann spread out his hands and said helplessly.

''I'm sorry, Mr. Neumann, can you tell me what the deal is?'' I'm curious, what kind of deals will the Chinese do with me? Roosevelt laughed.

Neumann took out a stack of papers from his pocket, slowly handed it to Roosevelt, and said; ''Before we talk about the deal, I'd like to ask Mr. President to take a look at this. β€˜β€™

''Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey. Roosevelt smiled humorously and looked at it casually.

''Stored program general-purpose electronic computer, this topic looks pretty good. Roosevelt said jokingly, and began to browse quickly.

Neumann sat quietly, constantly observing Roosevelt's face, hoping to judge his attitude from Roosevelt's face, to his disappointment, Roosevelt's face was always unwavering, there was no change, obviously, in his eyes, this invention did not move him, not even worth two eggs.

Sure enough, Roosevelt quickly finished reading it, put it on the table casually, shrugged his shoulders and said; ''Mr. Neumann, the Chinese won't trade this with me, right?''

"Yes, Mr. President, they want to exchange this and Your Excellency for two divisions of U.S. military equipment. Neumann knew that Roosevelt was not moved, but he still said truthfully.

、、、、Roosevelt coughed violently, then leaned back and laughed, and even burst into tears, and finally stopped, took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears.

''I'm sorry, Mr. Neumann, please forgive me for my gaffe. Roosevelt laughed.

''Why is Mr. President laughing?'' Neumann asked knowingly.

''Oh, dear Mr. Neumann, I think the Chinese must be crazy, although I studied law and can't understand this, but I don't see at all how it is worth two divisions of American equipment. President Roosevelt said earnestly. (To be continued.) )
