The first thousand two hundred and thirty chapters
Wei Lan's suggestion made Li Mu suddenly realize.
If, based on his temper, since the White House wants to stop him from meeting Kerry, he will insist on meeting him and let his wishful thinking fail. For nothing else, Li Mu doesn't want to make himself a pawn for others to control.
However, it is as Wei Lan analyzed that if he really just had a long-distance with the White House, it might not be of any benefit to him. After all, even if he reached a cooperation with Kerry, Kerry might not be 100% elected. Even if he could, from preparing for the election to taking office, the White House of this term is still the manager of this country.
If you are digging for food on other people's territory, even if you are not polite to the other party, you will not be nervous. After all, your arms cannot twist your thighs.
What's more, being able to get along with others is the ancient wisdom of the ancestors of China in many relationships, and it is the best choice for themselves now.
According to Wei Lan, on the one hand, he will stabilize Kerry in private and give him hope, and on the other hand, he will give the White House a chance to go out on the spot. If you want me to leave early, then I will leave early. If you are satisfied, I am happy, and you are good, and I am good.
After making up his mind, Li Mu immediately found Li Ziwei and said to her: "Ziwei, go and communicate with the captain now. We will take off on time at 7 o'clock. In addition, let someone go to Weilan and I to help us pack our luggage and send it to the airport for security check, and then communicate with the interface person on Kerry. Then I will go to his room in five minutes to visit."
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 now. In five minutes, let's go up together, chat with him for fifteen minutes, and then set off to the airport."
Wei Lan smiled and said, "I'm afraid Kerry is very depressed. He ran over so far away to have a long talk with you, but you'll give me some time to have sex during class."
Li Mu said: "Isn't this the idea you gave me? I really had a long talk with him all night when I was impulsive."
Wei Lan said: "It's really annoying the White House, which is definitely not a good thing for you. If the White House says that your yy is suspected of stealing information from American users and get a bunch of people to check your yy, what will you do?"
Li Mu curled his lips: "I know, you are right, you are right."
...
Kerry knew that Li Mu might not want to see him so much, otherwise he would not have given him only an hour of meeting time. You should know that he flew over there, with a range of more than 3,000 kilometers, and the one-way flight time alone was about four and a half hours.
However, even if Li Mu doesn't want to meet him, he must try it. Even if he uses a hot face to put on a cold butt, 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 his next year's election. With powerful promotion resources like yy, the campaign funds alone can save a lot. If it can subtly influence the judgment of the American people, the winning rate will inevitably increase greatly.
Based on this mentality, Kerry was ready to be neglected in front of Li Mu. Even if he met Li Mu later, he would subconsciously wait for Li Mu's call, and then go to Li Mu's room to meet him.
Just as he was thinking, a staff member in charge of contacting Li Ziwei knocked in and said to Kerry excitedly: "Mr. Kerry, Li Mu said he would come to see you in five minutes."
Kerry was stunned, and came back to his senses before asking, "Li Mu is coming?"
"Yes." The other party nodded and said, "It will come up in five minutes. If it is inconvenient for you for the time being, I can tell him to postpone it."
"No need!" Kerry hurriedly stood up and said, "You can reply quickly and say I'll be waiting at any time."
The staff left, Kerry suddenly became excited, and Li Mu took the initiative to visit his room, which was a very favorable signal!
Three minutes later, Li Mu and Wei Lan came to Kerry's room door together. When Li Mu rang the doorbell, he thought that the staff who opened the door must be Kerry's accompanying him, but unexpectedly, the one who opened the door was Kerry himself.
The first moment Kerry saw Li Mu, he reached out his hand very gentlemanly and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Li Mu, I'm very happy to see you!"
Li Mu has seen Kerry on TV a lot before, but he didn't expect that he was more photographed than on TV, and he was very handsome and looked much better than this president.
Li Mu shook hands with him and smiled politely: "This is my honor."
After saying that, Li Mu turned to him to introduce Wei Lan and said, "This is Wei Lan, my girlfriend."
Wei Lan didn't expect that Li Mu would introduce himself so bluntly as his girlfriend. He felt a little panicked. He originally thought that Li Mu would never introduce him to others like this, but he didn't expect that he would introduce himself so directly to a presidential candidate. This was really an unexpected dream.
Moreover, Wei Lan was also instinctively worried. After all, his relationship with Li Mu cannot be made public. Will Li Mu say this affect him?
Li Mu didn't have this concern. If Kerry was gossiping like an ordinary person, he wouldn't have been able to reach his current position. Even though he failed to become president in his previous life, he was at least a secretary of state. Such a person has very accurate grasp of how to deal with the information he received.
Kerry had learned some information about Li Mu before coming. In the party he was in, there were detailed information about Li Mu, including Li Mu's girlfriend Su Yingxue, who was published in China. Kerry had also seen her photos and knew that she was not the same person as Wei Lan.
However, Kerry was not too surprised by this. It is easy for him to understand a few more girlfriends for a person like Li Mu, so there is nothing to make a fuss about, but this has sent some good signals: at least Li Mu is very honest with himself.
So Kerry hurriedly invited the two of them into the room and sat down in the living room of the room. His staff had already prepared black tea, so Kerry asked the two to sit down and poured tea for them himself.
After Li Mu sat down, he said sincerely in a very sorry tone: "Mr. Kerry, I'm really sorry. The news just came from the airport that our plane had to face flow control, so we had to take off at seven o'clock, otherwise it would be postponed by more than 24 hours. I was still anxious to rush back to China to deal with some important matters, so our originally scheduled meeting time might have to be shortened to fifteen minutes."
As soon as Li Mu said this, Kerry immediately smelled the extraordinary thing.
Li Mu may not understand the United States, but Kerry really knows it too much.
Flow control is rarely encountered in civil aviation in the United States. Now the weather in Los Angeles is clear, there is no rain, snow, fog, and even the wind is very gentle, with extremely high visibility. What else can flow control in such weather?
Moreover, first-class control is 24 hours a day, which is even more impossible. If such a big thing really happened, such a thing would have been in the news long ago.
So, Kerry guessed almost instantly that this must be controlled by the White House behind the scenes.
Although I was very cautious when I came today, it seems that I can't hide it from the White House.
Kerry was a little annoyed. If the White House also came in to compete with him for Li Mu's resources, it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to convince Li Mu to cooperate with him.
Moreover, from now on, Li Mu only has fifteen minutes to explain what he can explain in fifteen minutes? He can't explain anything.
If you want Li Mu to support his election and take out his resources to help him run, you must first explain your political stance to him, and then tell Li Mu about his current election preparations, which states he has innate advantages and his approximate chances of winning the election, and then analyze the shortcomings of this White House with Li Mu, as well as his operating model and governance philosophy if he can enter the White House, if he is interested, he will give him a little bit of cake and promise if he promises to help, what level will he give him after his successful election.
This is an extremely informative work that can be achieved in fifteen minutes.
Kerry also knew very well that he would definitely not be able to keep Li Mu. Since the White House had taken action and the airport also said that it was flow control for 24 hours, it would be too difficult for him to control it for such a long time. If Li Mu chatted with him for an hour, the White House people rushed over to talk to Li Mu tomorrow? Wouldn't he be a wedding dress for others?
Kerry's expression was involuntarily disappointed. It seemed that his wish to win by surprise was disappointed again.
However, the only thing that made Kerry feel a little relieved was 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 proves that he can still get some attention from the other party in front of Li Mu.
At this moment, Li Mu said again: "Mr. Kerry, although the interview time has been greatly shortened, we can leave a contact information for each other. Many things do not require interviews, phone number, email or yy."
As he said that, Li Mu pointed out intentionally or unintentionally, saying: "The security of phone and email is not very high. I will leave you a yy number. If there is anything more important, you can contact me on yy at any time, including text, voice or video."
Kerry, who was originally disappointed, suddenly became energetic. When listening to Li Mu's words with his political sensitivity, he instantly felt that the meaning expressed in this sentence was very ambiguous. Li Mu said that the phone and email were not safe. Do you know what he wanted to talk to him? He also signaled that he could contact him through yy. Does this mean that he really hopes to communicate with him in-depth on this topic?
Li Mu struck while the iron was hot: "If Mr. Kerry has yy, it is better to register a new number and add me with the new number."
This sentence was even more clear. Kerry suddenly realized it. The haze just now swept away. He nodded excitedly and said with a smile: "I understand Mr. Li, don't worry, I will definitely add you!"
Li Mu smiled meaningfully and said, "Mr. Kerry, there is an idiom in China that has ears in the partition walls. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I think I have not stayed with you for too long. Let's talk about all serious things on yy!"
Kerry nodded very clearly and said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk yy."
Li Mu smiled slightly, looked at the time, and it was only five minutes before he sat down. If he ended his meeting with Kerry now, the White House would definitely put his heart back in his stomach.
So Li Mu stood up and said to Kerry: "Mr. Kerry, I'm really sorry this time. Because I'm going to catch a plane, I'll take the lead!"
