Chapter 1229 Control the Rhythm

The White House chief of staff knew very well that it was basically impossible to stop him from meeting with Li Mu when he had already arrived in Los Angeles one step ahead of others and was in the same hotel as Li Mu. Meeting with Li Mu on behalf of the president will inevitably fall behind Kerry, so it is too late.

In his opinion, the only way at the moment is to find a way to shorten the meeting time between the two, and letting Li Mu's plane take off earlier is a good solution.

According to his analysis, Li Mu didn't really want to meet Kerry, or he was not very interested in Kerry, otherwise he wouldn't have compressed the formation so urgently, and only left Kerry for more than an hour. Time window, so in this case, as long as Li Mu's itinerary brings a sense of urgency, he will definitely choose to compress the time to meet with Kerry.

To be on the safe side, the chief of staff decided to let Li Mu's plane take off early, and then give him a signal to either take off early or delay at least a day, forcing him to fly away early.

If Li Mu flew ahead of schedule, the time between him and Kerry would be reduced to maybe ten minutes or even less. In such a short time, it would be difficult for Kerry to reach an in-depth cooperation with Li Mu. In this case, Li Mu would fly back from Los Angeles. In Huaxia, he secretly sent someone to fly from Washington to Huaxia, so that he could get ahead of Kerry and go to Huaxia to meet Li Mu.

If Li Mu doesn't fly today, he will immediately leave for Los Angeles. It doesn't matter even if Kerry meets Li Mu first, he will go to talk to Li Mu on behalf of the president. After all, there will be a way to attract Li Mu.

Li Mu just finished the discussion with the main creators and members of the Flying Tigers, and discussed Kerry with Wei Lan in the lounge next door. Li Mu said, "Kerry is upstairs now, and I promised Spielberg to talk to Wei Lan about Kerry. He met and talked for about an hour, would you like to meet him with me later?"

Wei Lan said, "It's not appropriate for such a big person to come so far to see you, right?"

Li Mu waved his hand: "There's nothing inappropriate, he asked me, not me. Even if he wants to run for president, it has nothing to do with us, not to mention he is the one with the lowest chance of winning."

Wei Lan smiled and said, "Then I will be your personal assistant, serving tea and pouring water beside you."

Just as she was talking, Li Ziwei knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Li Mu and Wei Lan together, she closed the door and said, "Mr. Li, Sister Wei, the captain called just now and said that the airport informed him that there is a flow control this evening, and the airport gave us it. Two choices, either take off at seven o'clock today, or take off again at 8:30 tomorrow night."

Li Mu frowned and asked subconsciously, "The United States also engages in flow control?"

Huaxia often has flow control, Li Mu has been used to it in his last life,

But it is very rare to hear that the airports in the United States will have flow control, and the flow control will continue until tomorrow night, which is a bit outrageous.

Li Ziwei said: "The captain doesn't understand very well, but this is a request from the airport, which may be related to the fact that we are business jets and we have to give way to civil aviation aircraft in terms of route resources, so he asked me to ask you what you mean. , if you want to fly today, it's almost time to prepare to go to the airport, and if you want to fly tomorrow, then I'll go and arrange for an extended stay."

Li Mu said, "Speak to the captain and say I'll give him the final answer at 5:30, and let him ask if it's still too late."

"Okay." Li Ziwei nodded and said, "Mr. Li, Sister Wei, you guys talk first, I'm going out."

As soon as Li Ziwei left, Wei Lan said to Li Mu, "Suddenly the flow control at this time seems a little abnormal."

Li Mu said: "Yeah, it's a good sudden flow control. Could it be that a big man is coming to Los Angeles? But that's not justified. No matter how big a big man comes, it's impossible to keep the control until tomorrow."

Wei Lan speculated: "I always feel that this flow control seems to be coming for you."

"Really?" Li Mu just felt that the flow control was surprised, but he didn't think about himself. After all, he felt that the airport flow control in the United States had nothing to do with him.

Wei Lan said at this time: "Look, first of all, it is a good sudden flow control, and the flow control for so long is extremely abnormal in itself. If something is abnormal, there must be a demon. I think there is some article in this matter."

Li Mu nodded: "That makes sense."

Wei Lan went on to say: "You have to meet Kerry at five o'clock, and now there are only ten minutes left, and suddenly the flow control makes you take off at seven o'clock, which basically forces you to hurry up and prepare to go. Airport."

Li Mu nodded again and said, "What do you mean, some people don't want me to meet Kerry, or don't want me to talk deeply with Kerry?"

"That's right." Wei Lan analyzed: "If you decide to take off at seven o'clock, then you have so little time left, and you can't talk about anything important with Kerry. If Kerry wants you to support his campaign, it's a big deal. It is very difficult to solve the problem in a very short period of time, and the basic rule of the big thing is that it is like a large portion of the meal must take longer to finish, and once the time is not enough, the problem cannot be solved.”

Li Mu frowned and thought for a while, then asked her, "Could it be that the White House is preventing me from meeting Kerry?"

"It should be." Wei Lan said: "Only they have this motive, and only they have the ability to figure out Kerry's whereabouts."

Li Mu couldn't help laughing and said, "This battle is a bit big. It seems that they are really worried about me getting involved."

Wei Lan nodded and smiled and said, "It must be the meaning. The Bush administration is more likely to be re-elected, so they may not necessarily cooperate with you, but they definitely don't want to see you cooperate with Kerry and prevent you from meeting with Kerry. Or minimizing the possibility of the two of you working together today should be their most pressing goal."

Li Mu shrugged and said, "Since they want me to leave, we won't leave today. I will have a long talk with Kerry tonight to see how they will react."

"Don't!" Wei Lan hurriedly stopped: "Don't provoke the White House at this time, and don't let the White House feel your hostility, otherwise, if you really get targeted, it will definitely bring trouble."

Li Mu asked Wei Lan, "What do you think is the best way now?"

Wei Lan said with a smile: "The best way is to have both sides, the White House is now afraid of the transitional love you show with Kerry, in this case, you might as well show indifference and indifference to Kerry, so we will follow the seven Take off on time, but you can still buy ten or twenty minutes to meet with Kerry. Even if you cannot reach a certain cooperation intention with Kerry during this time, it is enough to show goodwill. You and Kerry have a private chat You can show him goodwill when you are, and then you can leave a more private contact information, such as YY number, let him apply for a small account to add you, so that he can feel your sincerity enough, but you have to leave as soon as possible for a reason, so that , and give Kerry enough hope."

After speaking, Wei Lan added: "More importantly, since the White House knows that Kerry has set his sights on you, then the White House will definitely take you as its primary goal, so don't worry, even if you are tonight As soon as you return to China, Kerry and the people from the White House will chase you to China to find you, and at that time, you can open the timeline to separate contacts, and then control the rhythm to carefully study which party is more suitable to cooperate with."
