"Christopher, they will arrange all your inspections there. There will be special translators and professionals from Xujiahui Studio to accompany you to Wolong to see the scenery. You will make a feasibility report, focusing on pandas, how many pandas can be photographed, and how many pandas can be photographed.
How many scenes and distinctive scenery are there? Let’s take some materials and come back. We will mainly check if there is anything we need to bring with us. We will start casting when you come back.
I've already said hello over there. You can choose the actors from the Xujiahui Actors Troupe, the photography and makeup, the lighting team will be sent from Hollywood, and a batch of equipment will also be brought there. The film will be specially imported to meet our standards. This movie
It's going to be shown in America.
I know you love your family. Once filming starts, your wife and children can come together and appear as extras in accordance with Hollywood standards."
After getting the promise from there, Ronald immediately found Christopher Kane, the screenwriter of "The Adventures of Panda". Only the screenwriter himself was willing to do this kind of hard work, and Daydream also wanted to give him the third world.
National business trip allowance.
In addition to Xiaoyan personally leading the team and helping to communicate with the director, photographer, art director and people from the Xujiahui factory, a bodyguard was also hired to be responsible for the team's personal safety.
"Oh, Ronald, now I think about being able to take pictures of chubby pandas, and I get excited." Christopher Kane is a panda lover. He was overjoyed when he heard about such an opportunity.
"We had dinner at my house in the evening. They gave me some Moutai. Did you know? It was the same wine that was drunk at the reception banquet when Commander Richard visited..."
"Really? That's great. I was still a young man at that time, and I was still very excited when I saw the footage of Richard getting off the plane on the news..."
"Good guy, why does the Maotai taste so good this time?" Ronald opened a bottle of Maotai when he was having dinner in the evening. It tasted even better than the one he bought before. The previous one seemed to be the trademark of an ancient costume dancer.
The smell is not that strong. Could it be that the Moutai they export has been specially adjusted?
Ronald quietly exchanged the other unopened bottle with the previous one. It seemed that the one sent by the cultural counselor was high-end.
"Mr. Counselor, I really want to thank you for your coordination regarding the Panda Movie. I asked Deputy Director Fei and I found out that you did a lot of work..."
The next day, Ronald made a special call to thank the cultural counselor and also thanked him for the high-end Moutai he sent.
"Mr. Li, you're welcome. We also know that you have done your best to promote Chinese culture and expressed a little gratitude. Before I came to Los Angeles, I also received special instructions from the leader to work with you to contribute to the friendship between the two countries.
There are many friendly people coming and going.
I also talked with some of your old friends in China, and I learned that you entertained the women's volleyball girls during the Los Angeles Olympics. They all said that winning the gold medal was all due to the Chinese food you invited..."
"Hahaha, are they all okay now? I hope I can have the opportunity to treat them to dinner again."
"The main attacker is in America now, and her daughter has just been born..." The counselor seemed to be very familiar with foreigners who went abroad and were friendly to China. After Ronald heard this, he also asked him to find the main attacker.
Ronald knew that it was difficult for these people to go abroad and wanted to help find better conditions for them.
"Mr. Li is indeed a person who values love and justice. Before I came, the leader who talked to me mentioned that you helped organize the entrepreneur delegation and were the consultant of the first Foreign Experts Committee. He always remembered you.
, asked me to take care of it for you... He also said that I have some business matters and I want to ask you more..."
"Huh? Do you really want to know more about business matters?" Ronald suddenly remembered a person. His own business lawyer, Mickey Kanter, can be said to be well-known in Hollywood for his ability to litigate in the business field.
I have helped clients win many cross-border business cases before, and because of my political philosophy of adhering to free trade, I am a very good consultant candidate.
"Of course, Mr. Li, do you have any advice?"
"This is my lawyer, Mr. Mickey Kanter. We all call him Gray-Eyed Mickey. This is the Counselor... Mr. We are all our own people. This bottle of fine Maotai was bought for me by Mr. Counselor."
Authentic product, the same as what Commander Richard drank at the banquet..."
Ronald simply held a banquet at his home. On the grounds that he needed to send an expedition team to film the Panda movie, he hosted a large number of people, including director Christopher Kane, his adopted son Dean Kane, and the former national women's volleyball player.
Shou, Mr. and others came to the house to eat, drink and play.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they all agreed that they were all friends, and everyone chatted privately in twos and threes. The main attacker also exchanged parenting experiences with Diane, and Ronald took Mickey Kanter to the study.
"Any ideas?"
"They have learned well and now understand long-term investment. America's policies are composed of the general leadership, the House of Representatives and the Senate, and local politics. Those people are important to them. I think they are not very clear about it yet, but
If you use this method of making friends regardless of short-term fame and fortune, you will always gain something."
"You are so familiar with it, do you have any ideas about entering politics?" Ronald heard Mickey Kanter talk about a lot of political lobbying techniques. There were some things that Roger Ailes had not told him. He also benefited a lot, so
I made a joke with my lawyer.
"Hey, although the current commander-in-chief is a donkey party, the price charged by his wife is too high. Everything is clearly marked..."
Mickey Kanter's gray eyes had that familiar light again, and Ronald was moved and blurted out, "Do you really want to be in politics? What public office do you want to run for?"
"I know that I am not a very charming person, but as a technocrat in a large leadership system..."
"Oh, no wonder you talked about the couple, hehe. Is there any position you really want to be? The couple owe me a favor. If they are ambassadors of a small country, I can help you with some activities, such as...
..." Ronald looked at the counselor who was chatting with the main attacker in the restaurant, but his eyes kept looking towards him and mouthing.
"No, I want to be the trade representative. Now the North American Trade Agreement needs to be passed in Congress. I have always actively advocated free trade and global division of labor. If I can get this position, I can show my talents.
.However, since when did you become friends with the Donkey Party?"
"To be precise, it's not me, but someone very close to me. She prefers the idea of women's equal rights, so she has been donating to the PAC of Datong and his wife, especially after the primary election last year.
time."
"Oh?" Mickey Kanter's gray eyes twitched. At that time, no one was optimistic that William could be the commander-in-chief. At that time, donations were a timely help, and the big donors received good returns.
"But do you really want to be in this position? There is strong resistance to the trade agreement. Some conservative central states are eager to re-elect the old George who signed the agreement."
"I'm pretty sure that this is the best intersection between my personal philosophy and my career path." Mitch Kanter knew that the position he wanted was right in front of him, so he immediately put some of his ideas into a sales pitch to Ronald.
.
"You know what? It's a very pleasant thing to talk to a future politician whose business ideas are very consistent with his own. I'll see what I can do..."
Ronald reached out his hand and shook Mickey Kanter's hand again.
"Well... what about them?" Kanter also nuzzled at the counselor.
"You know, I have a lot of production business there. Of course I hope that tariffs will continue to be lowered and the market will be more open, but I am just a small businessman..."
"It's not small. We have an annual deficit of 18 billion U.S. dollars with Japan. This figure is second only to Japan."
"Are there so many? Are they all low-value-added shirts and socks toys?" Ronald's own products produced in Qingpu, except for lightning lamps, are all due to the sufficient production capacity and low cost there.
"In any case, it is a very important national free trade partner. If I become a trade representative, I will promote more open markets on the other side, especially the opening of the cultural, film and television industries... The objections of those in Congress
It’s very big, we must come up with conditions that satisfy them…”
"Well, you are a very competent trade representative. Let me reintroduce you."
"Oh, is Attorney Kanter willing to be a federal official? That would be a blessing to us on both sides of the Pacific..."
Mr. Counselor's eyes flashed, he had eaten today's meal, and he was very likely to become an old friend of the Chinese.
"Then congratulate you in advance for your contribution to the promotion of free trade around the world."
The two shook hands again and talked about when he would take that position.
"Then it depends on Ronald, although this position is not a popular position in the federal government."
The counselor looked at Ronald again.
Ronald smiled and changed the subject. It was not convenient for outsiders to know this. "Mitch, before you turn to a more noble cause of serving the public, there is one more thing I need your help with."
"Oh, what is it?"
"I heard that there is a local state university. Their women's volleyball team is very competitive, but they lack a capable head coach..." Ronald directed the conversation to the former women's volleyball national player.
"You must be talking about Long Beach. We have been suppressed by Texas, Hawaii, and Florida for long enough." Mickey Kanter answered knowingly.
In the NCAA women's volleyball competition, most of the strong teams are universities from states with beautiful beaches. The atmosphere here on the West Coast is also suitable for this kind of competition with many beauties.
"Honey, why do you want to sponsor the university's women's volleyball team? Do you like their clothes?" Diane came over and joked to cheer up the atmosphere.
"I'm a sports fan, and let me tell you, the women's volleyball team is the prettiest, and the men's volleyball team doesn't have as many back-and-forth balls as the women's volleyball team. This is all the valuable experience I accumulated from the Olympics, don't you think?" Ronald waved to the main attacker.
wave.
"That's true, the women's volleyball game is indeed more interesting." The main attacker is no longer the ignorant athlete he once was. He relied on himself to play and coach the team in America, and got a degree from the University of New Mexico. What he said to Ronald is a little bit
Understanding.
…
"Thank you for your support of the Long Beach University women's volleyball team..."
Long Beach University, a state university that is not ranked among the best in California, has nothing to show off, including its sports teams. One of the conditions for Ronald's donation this time is to build a modern gym for them.
It must be limited to the women's volleyball team, and a former Olympic champion attacker must be hired as the head coach.
Ronald smiled and came over to speak to the women's volleyball team, "I don't know how to win the women's volleyball game, but your new head coach said that they could win the 1984 Olympics by eating my invitation.
Chinese food. So I will equip Long Beach with a good nutrition team and hope you eat well..."
"Ahh..."
The female team members below were all very happy. Long Beach is not as well-funded as private universities. Many of them have to provide food themselves, which not only takes time but also costs money. One by one, they came up and hugged Ronald and lined up to kiss him.
Ronald smiled and shook hands with the new head coach, then wiped the lipstick on his face and ran to his car to make a phone call.
"Donna, how's it going on your end?"
"Hey, let me tell you, Ronnie, this guy doesn't look like a first lady, but looks like the first female commander-in-chief..."
Ronald arranged for Donna to go to the White House to meet First Lady Rodham, hoping to donate a large sum of money to her action committee, and then promoted his lawyer Mickey Kanter to serve as trade representative.
But after Donna went there, she found that Rodham's office was even more lively than William's, with an endless stream of people of all kinds.
On the first day she entered the White House, she had to redecorate the White House and replace all the curtains. They should not be the ones left by her predecessor Barbara and her predecessor Nancy, but should be fully restored to those of JFK's wife Jacqueline.
That kind of characteristic.
Then there is the Travel Office. This office in the White House is responsible for all travel arrangements for the commander-in-chief and his entourage. Rodham first put his friend from his lawyer days as deputy director, and then changed the reimbursement process. Everything had to be done.
She'll take care of it herself.
This alone is not surprising. There are many first ladies in the history of the White House who like to take care of themselves. What is strange is that Rodham also wants political power.
Not only did she successfully get William to appoint her as the head of the National Health Care Reform Task Force in her first week in the White House, she was responsible for promoting universal health insurance reform at the federal level and trying to expand medical care.
improve insurance coverage, control medical costs, and achieve universal health insurance.
In addition, she has also established several PACs aimed at protecting women's rights, aiming to promote the protection of women's rights in America.
She also actively speaks out on political issues. The first bill that William pushed for after taking office was the Family and Medical Leave Act, which allows qualified employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave a year.
Used to manage serious personal health problems, care for a newborn or adopted child, and care for a seriously ill immediate family member.
This is rare among previous first ladies. In the past, first ladies often only spoke out on some ceremonial bills, and most of them only participated in some political activities after their husbands had been in the White House for many years, especially when they were re-elected.
Gain favor.
"It seems that she is not the good southern wife and mother in the 60 Minutes program..."
"That's not true at all. She was very skillful in collecting the check I gave her, and she was also very skillful in keeping her promise to me. In this little time, she could probably pay off millions of election debts..."
Donna also complained there that the money she donated to Rodham only got ten minutes of conversation time, and there was a long line of people waiting to send the money. The staff in the White House looked at her with suspicion, including lawyers.
The First Lady is different, and her business is booming.
"Looks like we need to work harder." Ronald also felt that Mrs. Rodham's attitude of collecting money did not seem to be reliable if she was asked to do things. He also tried to find other ways and directly contacted Commander William.
, recommend Mickey Kanter.
"This damn panda lover..."
Ronald's movements in the past few days, except for Donna's actions, were collected by someone and sent to Ovitz's desk. Seeing that many of Ronald's things were related to the Chinese, he cursed him a lot and followed suit.
He was called a pro-China "panda lover" and then archived all the information.
