Chapter 1672 Halfway to Become a Monk

The news of Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California spread all over the world at this midnight in China.

In order to give Schwarzenegger a little favor, Li Mu asked Muye Technology's Weibo Twitter, YY, and YY to release news at the same time, contributing to the global spread of the news of Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California.

Similar to Li Mu, Schwarzenegger also has a very high reputation in the world. His "Terminator" image is so classic that his popularity in the world is no worse than that of Michael Jackson.

However, an action star who played "The Terminator" suddenly became the governor of California, a contrast that surprised people all over the world.

Li Mu was shocked by this news back then. He still remembered his original thoughts. He felt that it was incredible that an actor could be the head of a state. He even once doubted whether Schwarzenegger was bribery. , I doubt whether he has the ability to manage the huge California well.

At that time, Li Mu didn't know much about American politics. He used the situation of officialdom in China to trick Schwarzenegger. He felt as if he was a martial arts star in China, and suddenly one day he became a senior official in the most economically developed province. of unreality.

Later, after gradually understanding how American politics works, Li Mu is no longer surprised by this matter. Even a lawyer can run for president, and a star can be a governor. What a fuss.

But then again, Schwarzenegger's ability to govern is indeed a bit embarrassing. During his tenure in office, he basically did not make any truly outstanding political achievements. The government deficit continued to grow, education, infrastructure, entertainment, employment, economy, overall They were all confused and messed up. At the end of the last term, the approval rate had fallen to the bottom. Compared with his inauguration, which was close to 70%, Schwarzenegger finally retired.

Li Mu believes that at this moment, Schwarzenegger, who is waiting to take office under the attention of the world, must be full of enthusiasm to show his ability to govern. However, he will definitely not believe that from the day he took office, basically Just going downhill.

This is an eight-year downhill road. The worst thing is that there is also the financial crisis in 2008 in the middle, which is almost equal to a cliff. Schwarzenegger should feel a lot of pressure soon after taking office.

...

The next day, CNN, a well-known talk show in the United States, conducted an exclusive interview with Schwarzenegger.

Since the news of Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California is at the hottest stage in the world, this exclusive interview has also attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers across the United States and even around the world.

on the program,

Schwarzenegger stepped on the stage in a very fitted suit. The handsome suit completely concealed his muscles and changed his temperament drastically.

Most of the audience are used to the image of him showing his muscles wantonly on the screen, and suddenly seeing him so serious, it is difficult to adapt for a while.

Even the host couldn't help but sigh: "Arnold, to be honest, this is the first time I've seen you in a suit with my own eyes. I really didn't expect that such a strong bodybuilder and such a rough action actor, There is still such a gentleman's side."

Arnold Schwarzenegger sat on the single sofa of the interview very decently, and said with a smile: "To be honest, when I started to run for governor, I was also surprised by myself in the mirror. I looked in the mirror several times and asked: Who am I and why am I dressed like this?"

The host smiled and asked, "Then how did you get used to it?"

Schwarzenegger shrugged and smiled: "I looked at the unfamiliar self in the mirror and said to it: You are going to run for governor, you are going to display your political ambitions, you must let the world know that you are Not just being a good actor, but being a good governor and making California a better place, and the first step in doing it all is to put on a suit."

The host smiled and nodded, while applauding with the audience. After the applause, he said seriously: "I believe that now not only the people of California, but also people all over the world are curious about how you want to govern California, you What changes are you going to bring to California?"

Schwarzenegger must say seriously: "First of all, I want to reduce California's financial expenditure. To be honest, before I ran for governor, I couldn't believe that the previous group of people could manage a good California into what it is now. "

Speaking of this, Schwarzenegger stretched out a finger and said emotionally: "Can you imagine that California has a budget deficit of billions of dollars, and California's financial expenditure has reached a crazy point, which is wasted The money lost, not the California government's money, it's all California taxpayer money, and it even includes the taxes I contributed to California as an actor."

The host laughed and said: "Oh, I believe there must be a lot of your taxes in it. After all, you are a top Hollywood actor with a salary of tens of millions of dollars."

Schwarzenegger said helplessly: "But you see, we have contributed so much money to California, and the California government has spent more money, but California itself is getting worse and worse, and we have a lot of education and medical problems. , our government is running inefficiently, our roads are getting worse, the environment is getting worse, these are the failures of the previous California government."

The supporter asked: "Arnold, you are going to be inaugurated next week. Have you and your team thought about how to solve the problems you just mentioned?"

Schwarzenegger said: "We will start from the essence of each problem, reduce expenditure, enhance the efficiency of government operation, and reduce the basic burden on the people. The specific measures will be announced one after another after I take the oath of office."

The supporter smiled and said, "Tell us about the inauguration ceremony, and the private party after the inauguration ceremony. You are a famous first-line star in Hollywood. I believe that there should be many Hollywood stars who will be there to cheer you on?"

Schwarzenegger smiled and said seriously: "I really want to invite the whole of Hollywood, but unfortunately there is no such a big venue. My election this time is inseparable from the support of Hollywood filmmakers. To become better is also inseparable from the contributions of these elites.”

The supporter nodded and said: "By the way, as the incoming governor, I believe that the people of California are not only concerned about how many celebrity friends you have, but how many entrepreneur friends you have. The economic development is extremely outstanding, and there is Silicon Valley, the cradle of the IT industry, this inauguration ceremony should have many entrepreneurs present to support it, right?"

Schwarzenegger said with a smile: "I have invited many CEOs of Silicon Valley companies, even Bill Gates, who is not in Silicon Valley, and Bill accepted the invitation very readily, and I will have a serious chat with Bill when the time comes. Let's talk about Microsoft's increased investment in California."

Speaking of this, Schwarzenegger smiled mysteriously and said, "By the way, I also invited a more heavyweight entrepreneur."

"Oh?" The host asked in surprise: "A more heavyweight entrepreneur? More heavyweight than Microsoft's Bill Gates?"

"That's right." Schwarzenegger nodded mysteriously.

The host hurriedly asked: "Who is it?"

Schwarzenegger paused, then said seriously: "It's the chairman of Muye Technology, Li Mu."

"My God!" The host exclaimed and said, "Li Mu?! Li Mu, who is estimated to be worth more than $100 billion by Wall Street?"

Schwarzenegger nodded and smiled, and said: "100 billion US dollars is just a conservative estimate. According to the information I got, the valuation of Muye Technology is still around 200 billion US dollars, and now the individual valuation of Weibo and Twitter has reached 40 billion US dollars. 50 billion US dollars, plus Mr. Li's other properties, I believe that his personal worth is over 200 billion US dollars."

The host said in amazement: "200 billion US dollars of personal wealth, this is really incredible!"

Schwarzenegger smiled and said: "If you have the opportunity to interview Mr. Li, I believe he will not admit that he is worth more than 200 billion US dollars, and he will not even admit that he is worth more than 100 billion US dollars."

The host asked in confusion, "Why?"

Schwarzenegger said: "Mr. Li has always been relatively low-key. He does not approve of valuation very much. He believes that valuation itself is just a concept."

The host asked curiously: "Isn't valuation a very common measure in the Internet industry?"

Schwarzenegger imitated Li Mu's tone and said seriously: "It's like you have an ancient painting in your home. Others say it should be worth 10 million US dollars. This 10 million US dollars is the valuation, but when you hold it When it goes to the market, the highest price a real buyer is willing to pay may be only $200,000, which is its true value.”

After that, Schwarzenegger said again: "I guess we can only determine Mr. Li's true worth after Muye Technology goes public."

The host nodded again and again, and then asked: "Arnold, can you tell me how you met Mr. Li? It seems that you have never heard that you know each other before?"

Schwarzenegger smiled, and said somewhat conspicuously: "We have known each other for a long time, but Mr. Li has always been low-key, so the outside world is rarely known."

The host praised: "Let Li Mu come from China to attend your inauguration ceremony and celebration party. I believe that Mr. Li also attaches great importance to you. Then I want to ask, will this be a promotion for you in California? An opportunity for in-depth cooperation with Li Mu, or even in-depth cooperation with Huaxia?"

Schwarzenegger said firmly: "I believe it will."

In China, thousands of miles away, Li Mu shook his head helplessly after watching Schwarzenegger's interview video in his office.

Li Ziwei next to him handed him a cup of coffee and asked Li Mu, "Mr. Li, do you think Schwarzenegger said too much?"

Li Mu shook his head and sighed, "I just feel that he is not shrewd enough, and he is not patient enough, but after all, he is a half-way renunciation politician, so he can't ask for too much."

After that, Li Mu said with a smile: "But this is a good thing for us. The more Schwarzenegger talks to the outside world, the more worried he is that I will lose the chain. I should have been begging for his campaign. He does things for me, but if he keeps fussing like this, he will soon have to beg me to do things for me."
