sdu777.net Chapter 505 I can still protect you after I retire
"Ronnie, it's nice to meet you. Barbara made a special trip to Staten Island. When she came back, she told me that meeting with voters was very enlightening. Your workers are all good Americans. There are Americans.
spirit, if there were more entrepreneurs like you, I wouldn’t be... ugh..."
George Sr. seemed to have temporarily recovered from the disappointment of losing the election. He is now much more efficient in handling government affairs than when he was busy with elections. But when it comes to defeat, he still shows a very depressed state.
First lady Barbara ran to Staten Island, wanting to see with her own eyes the kind of voters that her eldest son George Jr. said she should pay more attention to. But Barbara really didn’t like being with those at the bottom, and more
The whole time was spent enjoying the flattery and hospitality of little Douglas. Although he stayed on Staten Island for thirty hours, he didn't see as many ordinary people as William did in thirty minutes.
It was not easy for Ronald to say this to old George, who was still the commander-in-chief, so he could only agree with a smile.
"Well, I happen to be free now, so I came here to chat with you alone for ten minutes. I will have important guests to attend the dinner with you later. They are all old friends..." Old George seemed to be waiting for Ronald
Speak first.
"The first student in Datong..." Ronald didn't know what to say, so he looked at old George with big eyes and small eyes for more than ten seconds.
"Oh, for God's sake, this is my private area. There is no recording, and no one will disturb us. If you have any requests, you can ask."
Just like the important guests who were coming soon, Old George used his power to bribe some important stakeholders before leaving. He made it clear that Ronald could ask for anything he wanted.
"I don't have any requirements. I am a student in T&T. You know I only have one elder relative alive, my aunt. She taught me to be a responsible American citizen. What I want to say is that you have fully repaid me when you were in office.
support, of course, except for tax increases..." Ronald humored.
"Hahaha, you kid..." Old George's eyes showed a playful look. This guy is really good. He is very cautious in doing things. If you help him, you won't worry about the young man's lax remarks...
"No, you guys are not serious, are you?" Old George waited for another ten seconds, but Ronald still didn't ask for anything. His eyes suddenly became wet, I still have real supporters...
Since Ronald was so sincerely supporting him, Old George put his arm around Ronald's shoulders and pressed hard, "You are still young and don't know the power of the commander-in-chief. If nothing else, I have the power to pardon anyone who is imprisoned."
For those convicted by the judicial system, all previous commanders-in-chief will provide some amnesty before leaving office. If you have any requests, you can tell me. A retired commander-in-chief is still a commander-in-chief..."
Old George's hint was very straightforward. He could see that Ronald didn't quite understand the political and business exchanges here. But now that everyone is not coming to ask for help during this rubbish time, it is inevitable that he still has such loyal fans.
I was so moved that I personally gave some guidance to the young people.
"Student T&T, I have a question, can the amnesty be paid in advance?" Ronald thought of the Jews everywhere in Hollywood, as well as some sensitive materials and past grudges, and couldn't help but want to ask for an option for amnesty, just in case in the future
If something goes wrong, there might as well be a way out.
"Hahaha, you made me very happy today, little Ronnie. No, the pardon must be a crime confirmed by the court... Wait, what, what are you worried about?" Old George was very keen and saw that Ronald
There are worries.
"That's right, Datong is the first student." Ronald briefly explained the grievances he had with some powerful Jews in Hollywood.
"Ha, Jews...this is really troublesome...how did you offend them?" Old George was also scratching his head. At that time, Richard, the famous leader of the Elephant Party, blindly curried favor with the Jewish media and even found Jewish bases.
Dr. Sheen served as his consultant, but was eventually brought down by the Watergate scandal that was exposed and denounced by the media.
Successive commanders-in-chief love and fear these people. If they want to be elected, they must have the support of the media. But if they are not satisfied, there will be many problems in the election.
"The commander-in-chief may not know that I have been eavesdropped by them, but I have no evidence to file a lawsuit. I have not done anything illegal, I just want to protect myself and my family from their various illegal schemes.
Inviting a frame-up..."
"You are a very promising young man, Ronnie. Although I am about to retire, there are still many people in the CIA and FBI who are willing to listen to me. I will let them pay attention to whether there are any conspiracy activities against you.
If you find any problems, you can also go to George. Although I am retired, I can still see the monthly domestic intelligence briefings... Don't worry, make more movies with American spirit. Even though I am retired, I can still protect you...
…”
Old George was very confident when he said this. Most people would not reveal these secrets. The power of retired commanders is also different. As the head of powerful departments such as the CIA and FBI for many years, Old George can see that the current commander
The same safety briefing as the commander-in-chief, this is a treatment that the retired commanders of the Donkey Party cannot enjoy... and some Xiang Party members cannot enjoy it either...
"Thank you for taking care of me, Mr. T&T President..." Ronald told the truth with hesitation. Can a retired T&T Chief really still have such great influence?
"Is there anything else?" Old George continued to pat Ronald on the shoulder and asked. He knew that his eldest son and Ronald had a good relationship together.
"It's nothing. I have some investments in the Pacific Ocean to manufacture some movie lighting fixtures that we have no production capacity. I wonder if it is possible to enjoy some tax benefits? Just like the North American Free Trade Agreement that the Grand Commander just signed..."

"Datong first, please do you want me to do this? Isn't it going to make you unhappy?"
"Yes, I don't care if you do some lobbying work for your own affairs."
Next, George Sr. personally attended the dinner with Ronald and his wife. Although he did not sit at the table of the general, the important guests were introduced to Ronald one by one by George Sr.
The most important guest was former Secretary of State Weinberg. Ronald didn't know the way around it at first, but George Jr. informed him promptly.
The former defense minister and secretary of state, who was brought to court because of the Persian scandal, was recently given additional evidence to be re-indicted. However, the commander-in-chief decided to pardon his crime. In addition, the former countryman, who was already in prison for the same scandal,
Security adviser McFarlane, and former Assistant Secretary of State Abrams. Three other senior CIA bureaucrats are also on the pardon list.
"Looking at it this way, he is someone who can really maintain the influence of a powerful department after retirement..." Ronald knew this, and his mood gradually became better during the dinner.
"Jerry, you are here too...Jane...good evening"
At the dinner, Ronald was surprised to find that Weintraub and his real wife Jane Morgan were also present. Many of the people who came this time were personal friends of the president and his wife, and they could help them solve their personal problems while still in office.
A big gathering of questions.
"I'm sorry that our new Dragon King failed to continue the trend of box office sales..." Weintraub came over to apologize for the box office performance of the new Dragon King. This is the worst box office among the four Dragon King series, which is a bit
It means that it is popular but not popular.
"Nah, this series has been finished. No audience will like to watch it in the short term. Let's wait a little longer..." Ronald knew that Weintraub also wanted to make money by launching another "Dragon Boy", but
It might not be a good idea to make another movie that just did mediocre at the box office.
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Are you going back to Los Angeles? Let's talk on the plane..." Ronald interrupted his questioning and turned to chat with Jane Morgan with Diane.
"Any good ideas? Ronald"
After getting on Ronald's special plane and flying back, Weintraub began to want to cooperate with Ronald again.
"I don't have any good ideas, Jerry. No one knows whether a good idea is good before filming. There are only interesting ideas before filming... Do you have any interesting ideas?"
"Hey, I can't understand the audience's preferences now, but Christopher Kane, the director of New Longwei Boy, has a new script. I don't know if it's good or not. It's interesting..."
With that said, Weintraub seemed to be prepared, and took out a script and handed it to Ronald.
"Uh..." Ronald was speechless when he saw it. The script was interesting, but did the director really understand the cost of this filming?
The script is called "The Adventures of the Panda" and tells the story of a scientist engaged in animal protection who does international exchange work in a panda reserve, but a young giant panda in the reserve was stolen by poachers.
The scientist was injured while trying to protect the panda. His son, who came from America for the summer vacation, and a local girl found the traces of the poachers, and after all the hard work, they rescued the panda in the bamboo basket.
return.
"Don't you know? Nowadays, children can queue for more than an hour to see pandas. Do you know what this means to a child in America? What else can make them queue for such a long time? Except for Michael Jackson's
concert……"
"Of course I know, and my son wants to see it too. Unfortunately, there is only a pair of giant pandas in the zoo in Washington, DC, in the United States. They are both adults. I think you should give up this idea..."
"We can use dwarfs to dress up in fur and makeup, just like those cute little aliens from Star Wars."
"Don't even think about how the current audience could be fooled by this..." Ronald sneered. Weintraub's upper class life was too comfortable, and it was indeed too far away from the audience's taste.
Ten years ago, Star Wars used some dwarf actors to wear bear-like costumes and pretend to be aliens. However, pandas are an animal that often appears on TV. People put on makeup to play them. I guess only Minahan
Only a B-movie lover can do that.
Ronald also revealed some information to Weintraub about Spielberg's new film that he had watched. The combination of computer and model special effects can restore dinosaurs on the screen. Audiences will be able to watch it next year.
It’s a level of visual spectacle. You can’t even sell a video tape with a fake panda.
"Then we can..." Weintraub listened to Ronald describe the situation of the dinosaur movie. Ronald raised him to the level of breakthroughs like Jaws, and he also became interested. Dinosaurs can be filmed.
, can’t you shoot pandas? Spielberg can shoot it, and so can you Ronald...
"Don't even think about it..." Ronald shook his head and refused. Do you know how many special effects people Spielberg used and how much budget he spent to shoot this movie? This is because he is Lucas's employee.
My good friend, Industrial Light and Magic gave me a friendly price. If I were to shoot it myself, I'm afraid the fees would be more than doubled.
"Then can we go there to film? Like the last emperor?" Weintraub just refused to give up. He could only maintain the company's situation with the new Longwei Boy, and he especially wanted to rely on a movie to restart
Announcing his return as a successful producer.
"Why are you so persistent? Wouldn't it be better to play something safe now?" Ronald was also surprised. What happened to Weintraub?
"I don't want to give my children and grandchildren the impression that I am a has-been producer. I want them to know that I can still be successful. I want to set an example for them..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Weintraub said that he was so eager to make a successful movie because he wanted to leave a positive role model for his children.
Ronald was dubious, but this guy still lives with his partner Susan in the small house he bought for her. His real wife Jane Morgan spends Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, and Susan still has to go to the big house obediently.
Be nice here.
I guess this is one of his motivations, right?
"Well, let me ask you..." After hearing what he said, Ronald also had some thoughts.
If a co-production film can get support, the cost of filming will be very low. Many things that cost money in America, a capital society, can be solved at a very low cost there.
Besides, I also need some movies to repair the relationship with my counterpart. If I can introduce big Hollywood productions to my counterpart, in addition to profits, I can also get the love of many studios. The attraction of that market to Hollywood, Ronald
But I have seen it.
"Deputy Director Fei, I am Xiao Luo..."
Finding an old connection, Ronald called Deputy Director Fei, who was in charge of film affairs.
"Oh, Director Luo, you are very busy, why do you have time to call me today?" Deputy Director Fei's tone was still very enthusiastic.
As soon as Ronald mentioned the panda movie, the other party immediately said that he would report it. This matter will definitely be a good thing for the cooperation between the literary and art circles of the two countries.
"But, Director Luo, can you do me one more favor?" Deputy Director Fei is actually no longer thinking about his film career. The relationship he established with Little George during his last trip to America earned him praise from the leader.
, praising him for accomplishing something that even the departments in charge of trade and commerce could not accomplish.
When Ronald heard what he wanted, he immediately said that he was helpless and gave him some knowledge about America's system. George Sr. had already lost the election and would officially leave office next year. It was impossible to make any progress in such a short period of time.
of.
After all, the North American Free Trade Agreement in America needs to be approved by both houses of Congress before it is signed by the President. It might be delayed for a year or two...
Deputy Director Fei asked if he could introduce him to a powerful person like George Jr. like he did last time. Ronald had to explain with a wry smile that every time we change people in the White House, all the staff must be changed, and George Jr.
He's having trouble with it now.
"We are also studying the panda matter. After all, this is cross-department coordination, and it is not easy for us to do it...unless there is an explanation from the leader..."
"Damn it, it's time to leave..." Ronald understood as soon as he heard that George Sr. had failed to be re-elected, and his relationship was not going to work well anywhere.
