MTL - Rebirth in a Perfect Era-Chapter 1672 Monk
News of Schwarzenegger's election as governor of California spread throughout the world at this Chinese midnight.
In order to give Schwarzenegger a favor, Li Mu asked Makino ’s Weibo Twitter, YY, and YY to simultaneously release news, which contributed to the spread of Schwarzenegger ’s election as governor of California.
What is similar to Li Mu is that Schwarzenegger has a very high reputation worldwide. 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, and this contrast made the people of the world surprise.
Li Mu was shocked by the news that year. He still remembered his original thoughts. He felt that it was incredible that an actor could be the head of a state. He even doubted whether Schwarzenegger had a bribe. It is even more doubtful whether he will be able to manage the great California.
At that time, Li Mu didn't know much about American politics. He used the situation of the Chinese officialdom to set Schwarzenegger as if he was a martial arts star in China. One day, he suddenly became a senior official in the most economically developed province. Unrealistic.
Later, after gradually understanding how American politics works, Li Mu was no longer surprised by this matter. Even a lawyer can run for president, and a star as governor has no fuss.
But then again, Schwarzenegger's ability to govern is indeed a bit awkward. In the past few years, he has basically made no truly outstanding achievements. The government deficit has continued to grow, education, infrastructure, entertainment, employment, economics, and overall. Dudu was a mess, the end of his last term, the support rate has fallen to the bottom, compared to his employment is close to 70% of the support rate, Schwarzenegger can finally be said to leave.
Li Mu believes that at this moment, waiting for Schwarzenegger to take office under the attention of the whole world, he must be full of blood to show his ability to govern, but he will certainly 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 the financial crisis in 2008, which is almost equal to a cliff road. Schwarzenegger should feel great pressure soon after taking office.
...
The next day, a highly-known CNN talk show in the United States conducted an exclusive interview with Schwarzenegger.
Because Schwarzenegger ’s election as governor of California is at the hottest stage in the world, this interview also attracted the common attention of hundreds of millions of viewers across the United States and even around the world.
On the show, Schwarzenegger appeared on the stage in a suit that fit well. The handsome suit completely hidden his muscles, and also changed his temperament dramatically.
The vast majority of viewers are accustomed to showing his muscular image on the screen. Suddenly, he is so serious that it is difficult to adapt for a while.
Even the host couldn't help but sigh: "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen you wearing a suit for the first time. I really didn't expect such a strong bodybuilder, such a rough action actor, There is such a gentleman. "
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 shocked by my suit and leather in the mirror. I asked the mirror several times: Who am I and why should I dress like this? "
The host asked with a smile: "How did you get used to it later?"
Schwarzenegger shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "I look at the stranger in the mirror and say to it: You are going to run for governor, you are going to show your political ambitions, you want the world to know, you Not only can you be a good actor, you can also be a governor and make California better. The first step in doing all this is to start with a suit. "
The host nodded with smile and applauded with the audience at the same time. After applause, he said seriously: "I believe that it is not only the people of California, but the people of the United States and even the whole world are very curious. What changes are you planning to bring to California? "
Schwarzenegger must seriously say, "First of all, I want to reduce California's fiscal expenditures. To be honest, before I ran for governor, I couldn't believe the people who were in the past, and I could manage California as it is now. "
Speaking of which, Schwarzenegger stretched out a finger and said with emotion: "Can you imagine that California has a billion-dollar fiscal deficit? California's fiscal expenditure has reached a mad level, and these have been wasted. The money I lost was not the California government's money. It was all California taxpayer money, and it even included the taxes I contributed to California as an actor. "
The host laughed and laughed: "Oh, I believe there must be a lot of taxes in you. After all, you are the top Hollywood actor and the pay is up to ten million dollars."
Schwarzenegger said helplessly, "But you see, we have contributed so much money to California, the California government has spent more money, but California itself has become worse and worse, and we have a lot of education and medical problems. "Our government is inefficient, our roads are getting worse, and our environment is getting worse. These are the areas where the previous California government failed."
The supporter asked: "Arnold, you are about to take office next week. Have you and your team ever thought about what areas you need to solve these issues you just mentioned?"
Schwarzenegger said: "We will start from the essence of each issue, reduce expenditures, increase the efficiency of government operations, and at the same time reduce the basic burden of the people. I will announce specific measures after taking the oath of office."
The supporter smiled and said, "Come and talk to us about the inauguration ceremony, and the private party after the inauguration ceremony. You are a well-known first-line star in Hollywood. I believe there should be a lot of Hollywood stars coming to the scene to support you?"
Schwarzenegger smiled and said seriously: "I really want to invite the entire Hollywood to the past, but unfortunately there is no such large venue. This election is inseparable from the support of Hollywood filmmakers. Getting better is also possible without the contributions of these elites. "
The supporters nodded and said, "Yes, as the upcoming governor, I believe that the people of California are not only concerned about how many celebrity friends you have. They are more concerned about how many entrepreneur friends you have. After all, California ’s The economic development is extremely outstanding, and there is also the cradle of the IT industry in Silicon Valley. At this inauguration ceremony, there should be many entrepreneurs present to support it? "
Schwarzenegger laughed: "I have invited many CEOs of Silicon Valley companies, even Bill Gates, who is not in Silicon Valley. I have also invited Bill, and Bill has accepted the invitation very easily, and I will talk to Bill seriously at that time. Let's talk about Microsoft investing more in California. "
Having said that, Schwarzenegger smiled mysteriously and said, "Well, I also invited a more heavyweight entrepreneur."
"Oh?" The host asked in surprise: "More heavyweight entrepreneur? Heavier weight than Microsoft's Bill Gates?"
"Yes." Schwarzenegger nodded pretentiously.
The host hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"
Schwarzenegger paused, and then seriously said, "He is the chairman of Makino Technology, Li Mu."
"My God!" The host exclaimed, "Li Mu ?! Li Mu, who is estimated to be worth more than $ 100 billion on Wall Street?"
Schwarzenegger nodded and said, "100 billion U.S. dollars is only a conservative estimate. According to the information I have received, Makino's valuation is still around 200 billion U.S. dollars, and now the separate valuation of Weibo and Twitter has reached four. 50 billion US dollars, plus Mr. Li's other industries, I believe that his personal worth over 200 billion US dollars is already very stable. "
The host said with amazement: "It's incredible that 200 billion US dollars of personal wealth!"
Schwarzenegger smiled slightly: "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, "Why?"
Schwarzenegger said: "Mr. Lee has always been low-key, he does not agree with the valuation, and believes that the 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 earnestly: "It's as if you have an ancient painting in your house. Everyone else said that it should be worth about 10 million US dollars. This 10 million US dollars is the valuation, but when you hold it When going to the market, the highest price that a real buyer is willing to pay may be only 200,000 US dollars, and that 200,000 is its real value. "
After all, Schwarzenegger added: "I guess, we can't determine Mr. Li's true worth until after Makino Technology goes public."
The host nodded again and again and asked: "Arnold, can you tell me how you met Mr. Li? It seems that I have never heard of you before."
Schwarzenegger smiled, and said something foolishly: "We have known each other for a long time, but Mr. Li has always been low-key ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ so the outside world rarely knows."
The host praised: "Let Li Mu come far from China to attend your inauguration ceremony and celebration party. I believe Mr. Li also attaches great importance to you, so I would like to ask, will it be a promotion to California for you? Opportunity for in-depth cooperation with Li Mu and even with China? "
Schwarzenegger said with a firm face: "I believe it will."
In Huaxia, thousands of miles away, Li Mu shook his head helplessly after watching Schwarzenegger's interview video in his office.
Li Ziwei beside him handed him a cup of coffee and asked Li Mu: "General Manager Li, do you think Schwarzenegger has said too much?"
Li Mu shook his head and sighed: "I just feel that his city is not enough, and his patience is not enough, but after all, he is a politician who has become a monk halfway.
After all, Li Mu said with a smile: "But this is a good thing for us. The fuller Schwarzenegger is, the more worried I will be if I drop the chain. It was supposed to be something that I held for him to run for. He's doing things for me, but if he goes on like this, he will soon have to ask me to do things for me. "
