Chapter 94: What a Familiar Face

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

With so many invitations and so many guests for someone like him, it was obvious that it couldn't really be as simple as just hosting a party.

If you really want to think like this, then you are even more white than Kim Hyun-tae.

Although Kim Hyun-tae still doesn't understand some of the rules of these politicians in the United States, and is an out-and-out novice, he also knows that people like old George are definitely different from what he imagined.

Sure enough, under the guidance of the secretary Mona, Kim Hyun-tae and his party left the banquet hall and came to the corridor of a suite on the side of the banquet hall.

In the corridor, Kim Hyun-tae saw that there were already a lot of people in suits and leather shoes, and people who looked like successful people were gathering here.

Although the door to the suite was open and not closed, none of the people gathered in the hallway walked in recklessly.

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

"Secretary Mona, when will Governor George be able to meet with us? I have a proposal for an immigration investigation to show him. β€œ

"Hey, Mona, I'm going to see the Governor, please let me know, I'm coming to see him on behalf of the Screen Actors Guild of California. ”

Mona just smiled at these people, and did not give any direct reply, and even if there was, it was a very perfunctory kind of clichΓ©.

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, then smiled and signaled, and closed the door of the suite.

It seems that this is to let his group walk into the suite to meet George.

Anne and Dave didn't react with any surprise, only Kim Hyun-tae felt a little new to it.

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

Dave turned his head sideways and said a smile to Annie, then pushed Kim Hyun-tae to step away and began to walk towards the suite, and Annie followed silently with Coco in her arms.

Dealing with politicians like George, whether it is Dave or Annie, is no stranger, so it will not be like Kim Hyun Tae at all.

This large suite was specially prepared for George Sr. at the Casvi Hotel to meet and chat with some special guests.

A politician like George Sr. has a lot of things to do with the people he sees every day, so he has to have such a private space.

Old George's bodyguards have already inspected the room very carefully, and there are no hidden camera equipment, or hidden sound collection equipment, that is, bugging devices or anything, so talking about some intimate topics here, there is no fear of being leaked out.

After all, George Sr. has a level of position, and he has already announced that he will run for president next year, so his camp party has put a lot of effort into this regard.

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

The group walked a short distance, and when they turned a corner and appeared in front of the entrance of the living room, they saw the figure of old George.

It's an American-style living room, with a large fireplace with firewood piled up in the fireplace, a circle of blood-red leather sofas around the fireplace, and a small bar in the corner, filled with all kinds of drinks.

After seeing George Sr., Dave noticeably quickened his pace.

Kim Hyun-tae also saw this Governor George, when he was in the banquet hall before, he couldn't see it clearly when he was too far away, but now with close contact, Kim Hyun-tae really saw this 'big official' clearly.

George Sr. wore a pair of plain jeans, a pair of crocodile denim boots, a light blue denim shirt on his top, and a cowboy hat on his head.

I heard that he is from Texan, and you can see from this outfit that he is definitely right.

But when Kim Hyun-tae saw Old George's appearance, he suddenly shouted "I'll go" in his heart, and his heartbeat accelerated a little.

Because Kim Hyun-tae found that old George looked a little like the world in his previous life, a former president of the United States.

Well, it's Lao Tzu who is the president and fights, and the son is the president and still fights in the same way.

Oh, this parallel time and space is really amazing.

Kim Hyun-tae looked at the familiar face of old George, and the image of a herd of alpacas galloping past appeared in his mind.

Dave was the first to extend his right hand at this time.

"Hello, Mr. George, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and your complexion is still so good. ”

Old George smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand, shook Dave tightly, and immediately responded: "Yes, it's been half a year since we last met." ”

This is a very polite and normal opening remark.

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

As for Anne, Old George may have communicated with her for a long time, so he just nodded very vaguely, and did not greet Anne warmly.

"Come, Mr. George, let me introduce you. Dave pushed the wheelchair forward slightly at this time, then looked down at Kim Hyun Tae and introduced himself to Old George.

"This is the teenager who was shot three times in the Monica high school shooting, with senseless courage to face the gunpoint of the murderer, save his classmates and be shot three times, William King. ”

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

However, Old George grew his mouth with an exaggerated expression, and then stared at Kim Hyun Tae like a monster.

"You're the 'hero' boy in the mouth of the public!?" The reaction was too exaggerated, bad review!" I realized that you were more handsome than the pictures taken in the newspapers, and it was my honor to be invited to come. ”

You don't mix in the entertainment industry to act in movies, it's a pity that you are a talent, with such an exaggerated expression, it's absolutely no problem to act in a comedy or something!

Kim Hyun Tae looked at Old George's exaggerated facial expressions and exaggerated body movements, and complained silently in his heart.

But how does Kim Hyun-tae understand that in fact, American politicians are really a group of people with absolutely excellent 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.

And the reason why old George is so exaggerated today is also because Dave and Anne are extremely familiar people, so he will relax and adopt this exaggerated way.

It's a way to show intimacy with acquaintances.

If you are someone else, Old George's 'acting skills' are not so exaggerated, and they are definitely at a first-class level.

Therefore, he can't be blamed for complaining in his heart.

"Thank you for the compliment, I just did what I was supposed to do, and I don't think I deserve the title of 'hero'. ”

Kim Hyun Tae did not get dizzy, but modestly responded to Old George's praise.

Old George smiled when he heard this, and at the same time shook his head and said, "No, no, no, you definitely take the title of hero, after all, in that situation, even adult males may not make that choice......"

In short, in old George, Kim Hyun Tae is a 'young hero', and according to old George, this title is still deducted by the media on Kim Hyun Tae's head.

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

At this time, Dave took out a check for $50,000 on his body and handed it to George Sr. in front of Kim Hyun Tae.

"I hope it will be of some help to you, and I hope you will win the election in the coming year, and thank you for your care of our publishing house in recent years. ”

George Sr. took the check and looked at it, well, a cash check for $50,000, and he was very happy with the amount.

And Kim Hyun-tae, who was sitting in a wheelchair on the side, was completely stunned at this time.

He couldn't have imagined that Dave would give the money directly like this, and old George accepted it without any hesitation.

Isn't this kind of thing done in private?

At the very least, when there are no outsiders.

Apparently, Kim Hyun-tae linked this matter to bribery.

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

What he thinks of as bribery and bribery is nothing to do with it.

You must know that the campaign funds that Dave gave to George Sr. were reported by George Sr. in the end, and it was absolutely impossible to use the money as if it were his own.

If old George dares to do this, it will really break the law and will make a big deal.

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

At the same time, Dave gave 50,000 yuan in campaign sponsorship, and he had to come up with an additional amount of money to pay taxes, as long as the taxes were paid, the money would be even more legal.

For example, the tax rate for campaign sponsorship funds is 30% after filing, which is not a low tax rate.

In the United States in parallel time and space, taxes can be said to be ubiquitous.

Even in the time and space of Kim Hyun-tae's previous life, there is a saying in the United States that "everyone has two things that cannot be escaped, death and paying taxes." Obviously, the same is true on the side of the alternate plane.

In general, all politicians have to go through such a process after accepting campaign funds, and only then will everything be clear and clear.

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

A situation like today's one is quite special.

But considering that Dave and Anne are not outsiders, old George has no worries, and accepts it, as long as he doesn't forget to report it for the record when he goes back.

Putting the cash check in his shirt pocket, Old George smiled: "Thank you for your support to me, I will always pay attention to the California Press, and if you encounter any problems, I will help you." ”

Kim Hyun-tae thinks everything that is happening in front of him is 'fun'.

Dave knew what the most important period of the day was, so after a few pleasantries, he took the initiative to step aside.

After finishing his conversation with Dave, George Sr. turned his attention to Kim Hyun Tae.

Old George first complimented Kim Hyun Tae a little, which is nothing more than how brave he was in the shooting, how noble his character was, and how worthy of learning from everyone was these unnutritious words.

Kim Hyun-tae sat in a wheelchair and occasionally responded with a sentence or two, but in short, the conversation between the two was harmonious and the atmosphere was harmonious.

In the end, George told Kim Hyun Tae that after the meeting was over for a while, he would announce at the banquet that he would award Kim Hyun Tae a certificate similar to a good California boy, and that Kim Hyun Tae might need to come on stage to say a few words or something, so he should be mentally prepared.

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

I thought that the meeting would be over here, but I didn't think that old George would change his words and ask Kim Hyun-tae a very strange question.

"Young man, you said that if I came up with a proposal and submitted it to the Congress, the content of which was aimed at those Japanese who are jumping up and down now, and asked the United States to forcibly suppress the Japanese for currency appreciation, would the Congress pass it?"

Yes!

Why is this question being asked to me?

Isn't this kind of big thing to worry about by the members of Congress?

Although he didn't understand why Old George asked this, Kim Hyun Tae felt that it would be okay for him to answer, and he was not as complicated as he thought.

In Kim Hyun-tae's view, old George is just like a chatter, casually asking himself this question.

Besides, he is so 'young', even if he has good advice, can old George still take it seriously?

Hehe, it's a joke.

In that case, let's talk about it yourself.

So Kim Hyun-tae, who didn't have any pressure at all, thought about it a little and replied, "There will definitely be resistance, but it's not impossible to solve it." The Japanese economy is now very strong, and it is already a threat to the American economy, and everyone should know this.

If this kind of indulgence continues, the consequences will obviously be unimaginable, and it can be seen from media reports that the Japanese want to put pressure on the United States to withdraw the US troops stationed in Japan, and this is a clear signal. ”

Old George smiled, but listened very carefully to what Kim Hyun-tae said.

The more Kim Hyun-tae talked, the more excited he became, and his strong chatty spirit was stimulated, and he had a posture that he couldn't stop.

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

After the end of World War II, Japan had no army, and the United States had 1.2 million troops stationed in Japan.

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 by others, and it depends on whether you dare to do it.

As long as we can unite enough people to understand the benefits of this, I don't think there is any need for Congress to worry, and there will be people who will convince the rigid and conservative people in Congress.

And 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. Hehe......"

Speaking of this, Kim Hyun-tae sneered.

"The foreign exchange reserves that the Japanese have accumulated over the decades is not a small number, it is enough to make people crazy about it......

"I'm sorry, Mr. George, but these are just some of my own naΓ―ve thoughts, please don't mind. Kim Hyun-tae, who expressed his thoughts, showed a 'shy' expression after speaking, which corresponded to some of the behaviors that a young man of his age should have.

Ha ha!

Well said!

Benefit!

As long as people can see the huge benefits and benefits contained in it, there is no one who will not be moved by those guys who want to come to the American capital circle.

Say a thousand things and ten thousand, and interests are the most touching focus.

There is a saying about it.

With a 50% benefit, you can make people take risks.

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

There is a 300% interest...... Hehe......

And for Japan, the benefits contained in this plan are not just 300%, but a huge wealth that makes people crazy when they think about it.

Once these guys are tempted, join in, Congress ...... Hmph, Congress is a piece of!

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

Originally, when he heard Anne talk about Kim Hyun-tae, he was still a little skeptical.

But after seeing Kim Hyun Tae with his own eyes and hearing these opinions from himself, old George really decided that [this is really a young man with high political sensitivity], this kind of thought.

Then old George nodded to Anne very covertly.

Anne saw the hint of the old George, and her blue eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance.

"I'm going to run for president next year, and I hope you can support me then, because after the shooting, you have a lot of influence in the Chinese community, especially in the youth groups of all ethnic groups, and I hope you will be on my side." ”

After saying that, old George stretched out his right hand to Kim Hyun Tae.

Old George's words, even if the little white as Kim Hyun-tae could hear it, this was seeking his own political attitude.

But the question is, is it really that important?

Kim Hyun-tae's diao-silk mentality flared up again.

But no matter what he thinks in his heart, he has to satisfy old George for now.

Therefore, Kim Hyun Tae hurriedly stretched 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 measures to improve the situation. ”

Kim Hyun-tae is talking nonsense, in fact, how does he know what old George's political program is, these are still mentioned by Dave in a chat with him just now, and he only understands a little bit.

But Kim Hyun-tae didn't blink when he said nonsense, and old George didn't know about this, and thought that Kim Hyun-tae really understood his campaign platform, so he agreed with it.

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

Just as Old George was smiling, Kim Hyun Tae took out the $1 million cash check he had prepared in advance and handed it to Old George's eyes.

"Mr. George, this is my caution about your candidacy for the coming year, and you are welcome. ”

Old George took it and looked at it, "Wow!"

Truth be told, that's definitely not a small amount.

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

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

It's like Anne, she's old George's benefactor.

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

can give a one-time sponsorship of 1 million US dollars, the relationship is not so good, Kim Hyun Tae is the first.

Could it be that this little guy is also a potential radical ideologue?

Oh, yes, that's how it should be.

Kim Hyun-tae's unintentional mistake made old George completely misunderstood.

It seems that if you cultivate it well, there will be one more talent in your camp in the future.

Moreover, he has a lot of appeal now, especially for the Chinese community, which is of great benefit to him to get Chinese votes when he is running.

So...... In an instant, old George's mind flashed through countless possibilities.

"Thank you, I won't let you down. If I am elected, I will definitely give my supporters the greatest reward!"

Basically, Old George made a verbal promise to Kim Hyun Tae, and as for whether it can really be reciprocated, only God knows.

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

But Anne was very excited.

Because Anne knew very well that once old George made a promise, he would definitely not lose his word, and of course, old George would not easily promise anything to others.

After chatting about other topics, the meeting was over.

Before leaving, Anne deliberately fell behind, and the elder George came over knowingly, and said to Anne in a low voice: "A good child is worth cultivating, let him finish high school well, and I recommend him to go to West Point after graduation." At the same time, my election next year can add him to the preparatory committee and add a dazzling resume to him......"

"Thank you, Uncle George. ”

"Don't thank me, he won it all himself. ”

"I've prepared the proposal, you have to hurry up and lay it out in Japan, and the province will have less meat to eat, don't blame Old George." ”

"Don't worry, I'm already working on it. ”
