Chapter 94: A Familiar Face

After Old George finished his opening speech, he will not stay in the banquet hall any longer.

For someone like him to hold such a party, send out so many invitations, and invite so many guests, it is obviously impossible to just hold a party.

If you really want to think this way, then you are even more idiot than Kim Hyun Tae.

Although Jin Xiantai still doesn't understand some of the rules of these American politicians and is an out-and-out novice, he also knows that people like Old George must be different from what he imagined.

Sure enough, under the guidance of Secretary Mona, Jin Xiantai and his party left the banquet hall and came to the corridor of a suite next to the banquet hall.

In the corridor, Jin Xiantai saw that there were already many people in suits and leather shoes, and people who looked like successful people were gathering here.

Although the door of the suite was open and not closed, none of the people gathered in the corridor walked in rashly.

When the "successful people" gathered in the corridor saw Mona leading Kim Hyun-tae and his party back, they immediately surrounded him.

"Secretary Mona, when can Governor George see us? I have a proposal for an immigration investigation that I want to show him."

"Hi! Mona, I want to see the governor. Please inform me. I am here to see him on behalf of the California Screen Actors Guild."

Mona just dealt with these people with a smile, and didn't give any direct answers, even if there were, it was a very perfunctory routine.

Kim Hyun-tae's assassin is like grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

After Mona brought Kim Hyun-tae and his party into the suite, he stopped in his tracks, then smiled and gestured, and closed the door of the suite.

It seems that he asked his group to go into the suite to meet George.

Annie and Dave didn't have any surprised reactions to this, only Kim Hyun-tae felt a little fresh about it.

"Let's go, Mr. George must be waiting for us in the living room."

After Dave turned his head and said something to Annie with a smile, he pushed Kim Hyun-tae and started to walk into the suite. Annie followed without making a sound, hugging Coco.

Both Dave and Anne are no strangers to dealing with politicians like George, so they are not like Kim Hyun-tae at all.

This suite is very large, and it was specially prepared by Caswell Hotel for Old George to meet and chat with some special guests.

Politicians like Old George have to meet people every day and deal with a lot of things, so it is necessary to have such a relatively private space.

Old George's bodyguards have checked the room very carefully. There are no hidden cameras, or hidden sound collection devices, which are bugs, so talking about some private topics here is completely different from worrying about being leaked.

After all, where is George's rank, and he has announced that he will run for president next year, so the party in his camp has made great efforts in this regard.

Old George was indeed waiting for them in the living room of the suite.

The group of people walked not far, and when they turned a corner and appeared in front of the entrance of the living room, they saw the figure of Old George.

This is an American-style living room. There is a large fireplace in the living room, and the firewood stacked in the fireplace is burning. Around the fireplace, there is a circle of blood-red leather sofas. There is also a small bar in the corner, which is full of various people. alcoholic beverages.

After seeing Old George, Dave obviously quickened his pace.

Kim Hyun-tae also saw this Governor George. When he was in the banquet hall before, he was too far away to see clearly. Now that he is in close contact, Kim Hyun-tae can really see this 'big official' clearly.

Old George was wearing a pair of ordinary jeans, a pair of crocodile leather cowboy boots on his feet, a light blue denim shirt on his upper body, and a cowboy hat that all Texas cowboys would have on his head.

I heard that he is from Texas, and it can be seen from this attire that he is absolutely right.

But when Jin Xiantai saw the appearance of old George, he suddenly screamed "I'm going to fuck" in his heart, and his heart beat faster.

Because Kim Hyun-tae discovered that Old George looked a bit like a former president of the United States in the world he lived in in his previous life.

Well, it means that Lao Tzu became the president and fought the war, and the son became the president and still fought the war. The father and son of the family.

Oops, this parallel time and space is really surprising.

Kim Hyun-tae looked at Old George's familiar face, and a picture of herds of alpacas galloping past appeared in his mind.

Dave stretched out his right hand first at this time.

"Hello, Mr. George, we haven't seen you for a long time, but your complexion is still so good."

Old George smiled and stretched out his hand when he heard the words, shook hands with Dave tightly, and immediately responded: "Yes, it has been half a year since we last met."

This is a very polite and normal opening speech.

Old George exchanged pleasantries with Dave, then looked at Anne, and also glanced at Kim Hyun-tae who was sitting in a wheelchair.

As for Annie, Old George may have communicated with her a long time ago, so he just nodded in a vague way, and did not greet Annie enthusiastically.

"Come on, Mr. George, let me introduce you." Dave pushed the wheelchair forward slightly at this time, then looked down at Kim Hyun-tae, and introduced to old George.

"This is William King, the teenager who faced the assailant's gun with senseless courage in the Monica High School shooting incident, rescued his classmates and was shot three times."

Dave's series of introductions made Kim Hyun-tae feel very embarrassed.

On the contrary, Old George opened his mouth with an exaggerated expression, and then stared at Kim Hyun-tae as if he was looking at a monster.

"You are the 'hero' boy in the public mouth!?" The reaction is too exaggerated, bad review! "I realized that you are more handsome than the photos in the newspapers when I met you in person. It is really an honor for me to have you here."

It's a pity that you don't want to play movies in the entertainment industry. With this exaggerated expression, it's absolutely fine to act in a comedy or something!

Looking at Old George's exaggerated facial expressions and exaggerated body movements, Jin Xiantai complained silently in his heart.

But how did Kim Hyun-tae know that American politicians are really a group of people with absolutely superb acting skills.

In fact, they are performing and putting on a show every day, and their skills are even deeper than the so-called big stars.

The reason why old George is so exaggerated today is because Dave and Anne are extremely familiar people, so he relaxed and adopted this exaggerated way.

This is a way of showing intimacy to acquaintances.

If it were anyone else, old George's 'acting skills' would not be so exaggerated, and it would definitely be at a top-notch level.

So he can't blame him for complaining in his heart.

"Thank you for your praise. I just did what I should do. I don't think I deserve the title of 'hero'."

Kim Hyun-tae didn't get dizzy, but responded modestly to Old George's compliment.

Old George smiled when he heard the words, and shook his head at the same time: "No! No! No! You can definitely bear the title of hero. After all, under the circumstances at that time, even adult men may not all be able to do that. choice..."

In short, with Old George, Kim Hyun-tae is a "young hero", and according to Old George, this title was given to Kim Hyun-tae by the media.

So since the media thinks so, can I still oppose the media?

At this time, Dave took out his check for $50,000 and handed it to Old George in front of Kim Hyun-tae.

"I hope it can be of some help to you, and I also hope that you can win the election in the coming year, and thank you for your concern for our publishing house in recent years."

Old George took the check and looked at it, um, a cash check for $50,000. He was very satisfied with this amount.

And Jin Xiantai, who was sitting in a wheelchair beside him, was completely stunned at this moment.

He never thought that Dave would just give the money directly, and Old George accepted it without hesitation.

Isn't it better to do this kind of thing in private?

At least, when there are no outsiders.

Obviously, Kim Hyun-tae linked this matter with bribery.

But in fact, in the United States, this kind of thing is very common.

What he thought of as bribery had no shadow at all.

You know, Dave gave old George the campaign funds. In the end, old George has to report, and it is absolutely impossible to use the money as if it were his own.

If old George dared to do this, he would really be breaking the law and it would be a big deal.

But once it is reported to the record, then there will be no problem with the money, and he will not cause trouble if he accepts it.

At the same time, Dave gave 50,000 yuan in campaign sponsorship, and he had to spend an extra sum of money to pay taxes. As long as the taxes are paid, the money is even more legal.

For campaign sponsorship funds like this, the tax rate after filing is 30%, which is not to say that the tax rate is not low.

In the United States of parallel time and space, taxes can be said to be everywhere.

Even in the time and space of Kim Hyun-tae's previous life, there was a saying in the United States [Everyone has two things that cannot be avoided, death and taxes. ], obviously the same is true in parallel time and space.

Generally speaking, after receiving campaign funds, all politicians have to go through such a set of procedures. Only in this way can everything be clear and clear.

It's just that most of the time, George Sr. will not face the sponsors himself, and the campaign funds are also collected by his subordinates.

A situation like today is quite special.

But considering that Dave and Annie were not outsiders, Old George didn't have any worries, so he just accepted it, as long as he didn't forget to report and record it when he went back.

Putting the cash check into his shirt pocket, Old George smiled and said, "Thank you for your support. I will always pay attention to the California Press. If there is any problem, I will help you."

Kim Hyun-tae felt that everything that happened in front of him was 'fun'.

Dave knew what the most important period was today, so after exchanging pleasantries, he took the initiative to step aside.

After finishing talking with Dave, Old George turned his attention to Kim Hyun-tae.

Old George first gave a small compliment to Kim Hyun-tae, nothing more than saying how brave he was during the shooting incident, how noble his moral character was, and such unnutritious words that everyone should learn from.

Kim Hyun-tae is sitting in a wheelchair, and occasionally responds with a few words. In short, the conversation between the two is very harmonious, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

In the end, Old George told Kim Hyun-tae that after the meeting, he would announce at the banquet that he would award Kim Hyun-tae a certificate similar to a good boy in California. Maybe Kim Hyun-tae would need to come on stage to say a few words, so let him have a Mental preparation.

In this regard, Kim Hyun Tae said that he has no problem at all.

I thought the meeting would be over here, but old George changed the subject and asked Kim Hyun-tae a very strange question.

"Young man, you said that if I submit a proposal to the Congress, the content is to target the Japanese who are jumping up and down now, and let the United States forcefully suppress the Japanese to revalue the currency, will the Congress pass it?"

what!

Why do you ask me this question?

Aren't members of Congress concerned about such big matters?

Although he didn't understand why Old George asked such a question, Jin Xiantai felt that it would be okay to answer it himself, and he was not as complicated as he thought at all.

From Kim Hyun-tae's point of view, Old George was just asking himself this question casually, as if he was chatting about family matters.

Besides, since I am so 'young', even if I have a good suggestion, can Old George still take it seriously?

Hehe, this is a joke.

That being the case, say it yourself, just say it.

So Kim Hyun-tae, who was not under any pressure at all, thought about it for a while before answering: "There will definitely be resistance, but it is not impossible to solve it. The Japanese economy is very strong now, and it has already threatened the American economy. I think everyone should understand this." I understand.

If this connivance continues, the consequences will obviously be unimaginable. It can be seen from media reports that the Japanese want to put pressure on the United States and let the US troops stationed in Japan withdraw. This is an obvious signal. "

Old George smiled, but listened to what Jin Xiantai said very seriously.

The more Kim Hyun-tae talked, the more excited he became, and his strong chatter was aroused, as if he couldn't stop.

"Although the Japanese economy is strong, they also have their own weaknesses, and this weakness is fatal.

After the end of World War II, Japan no longer has an army, and the United States has 1.2 million troops stationed in Japan. Is this all a display?

It is true that Japan's economy rose after the war, but without the guarantee of military strength, what is the use of a strong economy?

In my eyes, Japan is actually a delicacy that can be slaughtered, it depends on whether everyone dares to do it.

As long as enough people can be united and let them understand the benefits contained in it, I don't think the Congress will have to worry about it. Naturally, someone will persuade those rigid and conservative guys in Congress.

Besides, as long as you are not a fool or an idiot, you will know how much you can benefit from the Japanese once this goal is achieved. Ha ha……"

Speaking of this, Kim Hyun-tae sneered.

"The foreign exchange reserves accumulated by the Japanese for decades is not a small number, it is a huge wealth enough to make people crazy..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. George, these are just some naive thoughts of mine, please don't mind." Kim Hyun-tae, who expressed his own thoughts, showed a 'shy' expression after speaking, which exactly corresponds to what a young man of his age should have. some performances.

Ha ha!

well said!

Benefit!

As long as people see the huge benefits and benefits contained in it, those guys who want to come to the American capital circle will not be tempted.

To say a thousand things and ten thousand things, the interest is the most touching point.

There is a saying.

A 50% interest can make people take risks.

With 100% interest, people can trample on all laws.

There is a 300% interest... hehe...

As for this plan for Japan, the benefits contained in it are not only 300%, but a huge amount of wealth that makes people crazy and jealous just thinking about it.

Once these guys are moved, join in, the Congress... Heh, the Congress is nothing!

Old George was very satisfied with Kim Hyun-tae's answer.

Earlier, when he heard Annie talk about Kim Hyun-tae, he was a little dubious about it.

But after meeting Kim Hyun-tae with his own eyes and hearing these views from himself, old George really settled down on [this is really a very politically sensitive] young man, this kind of idea.

Afterwards, old George nodded to Anne very covertly.

Annie's blue eyes suddenly shone brightly after seeing the hint from the old George.

"I'm going to run for president next year. I hope you can support me. After the shooting incident, you have great influence in the Chinese community, especially in the youth groups of various ethnicities. I hope I hope you will be by my side then."

After finishing speaking, Old George stretched out his right hand to Kim Hyun-tae.

Old George's words, even a little white like Kim Hyun-tae can understand that this is seeking his own political attitude.

But the question is, is he really that important?

Kim Hyun-tae's silk mentality broke out again.

But regardless of what he thinks in his heart, he has to satisfy Old George right now.

Therefore, Jin Xiantai quickly reached out his hand and shook old George tightly.

"I will definitely support you. I agree with your election platform. I think the United States is very rigid and conservative now, so it is necessary to adopt some radical political reform methods to improve this situation."

Jin Xiantai talked nonsense, in fact, he didn't know what old George's political platform was. He only knew a little bit about these things after hearing Dave chat with him just now.

But Kim Hyun-tae didn't even blink his eyes when he was lying, and Old George didn't know about it. He thought that Kim Hyun-tae had really understood his campaign platform, so he agreed with it.

Therefore, old George's smiling eyes became a slit.

Just when Old George was smiling happily, Kim Hyun-tae took out a cash check of US$1 million that he had prepared in advance, and handed it to Old George.

"Mr. George, this is my little wish for your campaign in the coming year, please don't be polite."

Old George took it over and took a look, ho! One million cash checks!

To be honest, this is definitely not a small amount.

Basically, politicians in the United States solicit sponsorship campaigns, and people give at best 10,000, 20,000, or 50,000.

Unless there is a fixed big backer to support his political career, there will be a large amount of funding source guarantee.

Just like Annie, she is the old George's benefactor.

But even so, George Sr. still needs to occasionally come out to solicit sponsorships to make money for himself and his camp.

But the one-time sponsorship of 1 million US dollars, the relationship is not so good, Kim Hyun-tae is the first.

Could this little guy be a potential radical idea too?

Oh yes, that's how it should be.

Old George was completely misunderstood by Kim Hyun-tae's unintentional mistake.

It seems that if you train well, your camp will have one more talent in the future.

What's more, he has a lot of appeal now, especially for the Chinese-American community, which is of great benefit for him to win Chinese-American votes during his election campaign.

Then... In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through Old George's mind.

"Thank you, I will not let you down. Once I am elected, I will definitely give my supporters the greatest return!"

Basically, Old George is making a verbal promise to Kim Hyun-tae. As for whether he can really get something in return, only God knows.

Anyway, Kim Hyun-tae didn't take it to heart, just listen to it.

On the contrary, Annie was very excited.

Because Annie knew very well that once Old George made a promise, he would definitely not break his word. Of course, Old George didn't promise anything easily.

After chatting about other topics, this meeting is considered over.

Before leaving, Anne deliberately lagged behind. Old George came over knowingly, and said to Anne in a low voice: "A good child is worth cultivating. Let him finish high school well. After graduation, I recommend him to go to West Point Military Academy. At the same time, next year I Can let him join the preparatory committee and add a dazzling resume to his resume..."

"Thank you, Uncle George."

"You don't need to thank me, he earned it all by himself."

"I've already prepared the proposal. You have to make plans quickly in Japan. If you save money, you'll eat less meat. Don't blame Old George."

"Don't worry, I've already started working on this matter."
