Chapter 1230
Yi Weilan's suggestion made Li Mu suddenly enlightened.
If according to my own temper, since the White House wanted to prevent me from meeting Kerry, I would have to meet him to make his wishful thinking come to nothing. Li Mu didn't want to let myself become a pawn that others can sway casually .
However, just like Wei Lan’s analysis, if I really have a long-distance relationship with the White House, it may not be of any benefit to me. After all, even if I reach a cooperation with Kerry, Kerry may not be 100% able to be elected, even if he can, but From preparing for the general election to actually taking office, during this period, the White House is still the manager of this country.
Even if you are not being polite to someone else, you are not good at drawing swords on someone else's territory. After all, your arms can't twist your thighs.
What's more, being right and left is the ancient wisdom of the Chinese ancestors in multi-party relationships, and it is the best choice for me now.
According to Wei Lan, on the one hand, he stabilized Kerry in private and gave him hope; Happy, hello and me.
After making up his mind, Li Mu immediately found Li Ziwei and said to her, "Ziwei, you should go and communicate with the captain now, we will take off on time at seven o'clock, and someone will come to Wei Lan and me's room to help us pack our luggage. When you come out, you will be sent to the airport to go through the security check, and then communicate with Kerry's contact person, and say that I will visit his room directly in five minutes."
Li Ziwei nodded and said, "Then I'll do it now."
Li Mu looked at his watch, and said to Wei Lan, "It's 4:50, let's go up together in five minutes, chat with him for fifteen minutes, and then leave for the airport."
Wei Lan said with a smile: "Talk for fifteen minutes... Kerry must be very depressed. He came so far to have a long talk with you, but in the end you gave him a time to practice between classes."
Li Mu said: "Isn't this your idea for me? Originally, I had a long talk with him all night on impulse."
Wei Lan said: "It really annoyed the White House, which is never a good thing for you. If the White House says that your YY is suspected of stealing American user information, and get a bunch of people to check your YY, what will you do?"
Li Mu pouted: "I know, you are right, you are right."
...
Kerry knew that Li Mu might not want to see him that much, otherwise it would be impossible for him to only give him an hour to meet. You must know that he flew all the way here, with a flight distance of more than 3,000 kilometers, and the one-way flight time alone was almost four and a half hours. .
However, even if Li Mu doesn't want to meet with him, he still has to give it a try. Even if he puts a hot face on a cold ass, he must try it. After all, Li Mu's influence is too great. If he gets his support , It will be of great help to my next year's election. With YY's powerful promotion resources, I can save a lot of campaign funds alone. If I can subtly influence the judgment of the American people, my winning rate will definitely increase greatly.
Based on such a state of mind, Kerry is ready to be neglected in front of Li Mu, even if he meets Li Mu later, he will subconsciously wait for Li Mu's call, and then go to Li Mu's room to meet him.
Just as he was thinking about it, a staff member who was in charge of contacting Li Ziwei knocked on the door and came in, and said to Kerry with an excited face, "Mr. Kerry, Li Mu said he would come see you in five minutes."
Kerry was stunned for a moment, then recovered and asked, "Li Mu is coming?"
"Yes." The other party nodded and said, "I will come up in five minutes. If you are inconvenient for a while, I can tell you to postpone it."
"No need!" Kerry stood up hastily, and said, "Hurry up and tell me that I'm here anytime."
After the staff left, Kerry suddenly became excited, and Li Mu took the initiative to visit his room. This is a very favorable signal!
Three minutes later, Li Mu and Wei Lan came to the door of Kerry's room together. When Li Mu rang the doorbell, he thought it must be Kerry's accompanying staff who opened the door.
But unexpectedly, it was Kerry himself who opened the door.
The first moment Kerry saw Li Mu, he stretched out his hand in a very gentlemanly manner, and said with a smile, "Hi, Mr. Li Mu, nice to meet you!"
Li Mu had seen Kerry on TV a lot before, but he didn't expect that he was more photogenic than on TV, and he was very handsome, and his appearance was much higher than this president.
Li Mu shook hands with him, and smiled politely, "It's my honor."
After finishing speaking, Li Mu turned to introduce Wei Lan to him, saying, "This is Wei Lan, my girlfriend."
Wei Lan didn't expect Li Mu to introduce herself as his girlfriend so bluntly, and she felt a little flustered. She thought that Li Mu would never introduce herself to others like this, but she didn't expect him to be so straightforward to a presidential candidate. Introducing myself, this is really undreamed of.
Moreover, Wei Lan was also instinctively worried. After all, her relationship with Li Mu cannot be made public. Will Li Mu's words affect him?
Li Mu is not worried about this. If Kerry went around gossiping like an ordinary person, then he would not be able to get to where he is today. Even if he failed to become the president in his previous life, he at least served as the secretary of state. Such a person, yes How to process the information I received is very precise.
Kerry knew some information about Li Mu before he came here. In the party he was in, there was a detailed introduction about Li Mu, including Li Mu's girlfriend Su Yingxue who was publicized in China. Kerry had also seen her photo, so he knew Wei Lan is not alone.
However, Kerry was not too surprised by this. For a person like Li Mu, having more girlfriends is simply too easy for him to understand, so there is nothing to make a fuss about, but it does release some benefits. Signal: At least Li Mu is honest with himself.
So Kerry hurriedly invited the two into the room and sat down in the living room of the room. His staff had already prepared black tea, so Kerry invited the two to sit down and poured tea for them.
After Li Mu sat down, he first said sincerely in a very apologetic tone: "Mr. Kerry, I'm really sorry, the news just came from the airport that our plane is going to face flow control, so we have to take off at seven o'clock. Otherwise, it will be postponed for more than 24 hours, and I am still in a hurry to go back to Huaxia to deal with some important matters, so our original one-hour meeting time may have to be compressed to fifteen minutes."
As soon as Li Mu said this, Kerry immediately smelled something unusual.
Li Mu may not understand the United States, but Kerry really does.
Civil aviation in the United States rarely experiences flow control. Now the weather in Los Angeles is clear, with no rain, snow, fog, even the wind is very mild, and the visibility is extremely high. What else can flow control in such weather?
Moreover, the first-rate control is 24 hours, which is even more impossible. If such a big thing really happened, it would have been on the news long ago.
Therefore, Kerry guessed almost instantly that this must be controlled by the White House.
Although I was very cautious when I came here today, it seems that I still haven't been able to hide it from the White House.
Kerry felt a little annoyed. If the White House also came in to compete with him for Li Mu's resources, it would be very difficult for him to have a chance to persuade Li Mu to cooperate with him.
Moreover, from now on, Li Mu only has fifteen minutes, what can he explain in fifteen minutes? I can't understand anything.
If I want Li Mu to support my campaign and use his resources to help me campaign, I must first explain my political stance to him, and then tell Li Mu my current campaign preparations, which states I have inherent advantages, I have a rough chance of winning the election, and then I will analyze the shortcomings of this White House with Li Mu, and if I can enter the White House, my own operation mode and governance philosophy. If Li Mu is interested, I will give him a little bit of cake He promised that if he agreed to help, he would give him what kind of return at what level after he succeeded in the election.
This is a task with an extremely large amount of information, and it is impossible to complete it in fifteen minutes.
And Kerry is also very clear that he definitely has no way to keep Li Mu. Since the White House has already made a move, and the airport has also said that the flow control is 24 hours, it will be too difficult for him to control such a long time. If Li Mu and himself After chatting for an hour, people from the White House rushed over to talk to Li Mu tomorrow, what should I do? Don't you want to make wedding dresses for others?
Kerry's expression was involuntarily a little disappointed. It seemed that his desire to win by surprise this time had failed again.
But the only thing that makes Kerry feel a little relieved is Li Mu's apologetic attitude. Li Mu's expression and tone are very sincere now. It can be seen that he is really embarrassed. This also proves that he can still get the other party in front of Li Mu. some serious.
At this time, Li Mu said again: "Mr. Kerry, although the time of this interview has been shortened a lot, we can leave a contact information for each other. Many things do not have to be interviewed. Phone, email or YY are all fine." .”
As he said that, Li Mu nodded intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "The security of phone and email is not very high, I will leave you a YY number, if you have anything more important, you can contact me on YY at any time , either text, voice or video.”
Kerry, who was originally full of disappointment, regained his spirits. Listening to Li Mu's words with his political sensitivity, he immediately felt that the meaning expressed in these words was ambiguous. Li Mu said that the security of phone calls and emails is not high. What do you want to talk to him about? And he indicated that he can contact him through YY, so does this mean that he himself very much hopes to have an in-depth communication with himself on this topic?
At this time, Li Mu struck while the iron was still hot: "If Mr. Kerry has YY, it's better to register a new number and use the new number to add me."
This sentence made it even more clear. Kerry suddenly realized that the haze just now was swept away, nodded very excitedly, and said with a smile: "I know Mr. Li, don't worry, I will definitely join you." you!"
Li Mu smiled meaningfully, and said: "Mr. Kerry, there is an idiom in China that says that walls have ears. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I think I should not stay with you for too long. Let's talk about serious matters on YY." !"
Kerry nodded very understandingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about YY."
Li Mu smiled slightly, and looked at the time. It had only been five minutes since he sat down. If he ended the meeting with Kerry now, the White House would definitely put his heart back.
So, Li Mu stood up and said to Kerry: "Mr. Kerry, I'm really sorry this time, because I have to catch a plane, so I'll take a step ahead!"
Kerry nodded understandingly: "Okay, I wish Mr. Li the best of luck!"
