Compared with everyone's debate, Bush's real headache is how to minimize the impact of the epidemic. After all, this is his first year as president. Such a big thing happened in the first year, even if Americans have no superstitious ideas.
, but I definitely don’t think I can leave him any positive comments.
This is undoubtedly the worst thing for George W. Bush, who is just about to do something big and is even thinking about being re-elected!
Of course, there is no way to reverse the negative impact caused by the terrorist attacks on him. The suggestion given to him by the think tank was to use war to divert the attention of the domestic people.
Therefore, what he is considering now is whether to follow the think tank's analysis. After all, once the United States starts a war, it will definitely be a major event involving all aspects.
If he can win as cleanly as his father did and achieve major benefits for the United States, he can even reverse the current unfavorable situation and be re-elected as the next president.
After thinking about the pros and cons, Bush gradually made a decision in his mind, but he still needs to study the specific country to attack.
As for the issue of awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a Chinese person that is currently being discussed, it is just a trivial matter for George W. Bush, and it is not worth wasting his energy at all.
So after thinking about it briefly, he said: "Award him the special Presidential Medal of Freedom, and give him a reward of US$1 million! Now the United States needs a positive figure to boost morale!"
Bush's words made many people react. Indeed, after the terrorist attacks, the entire United States was in mourning. At this time, a relevant heroic figure is really needed to boost the atmosphere of the United States, or to divert the people.
The attention is also good!
"Okay, let's stop discussing this matter for now! Paul, please report the results of the World Trade Center investigation!"
"Yes, Mr. President!"
…
After a night's rest, Liu Dong woke up the next day with full energy again!
Seeing that it was still early, Liu Dong walked out of the room, found a place with few people, and slowly started practicing his boxing.
Liu Dong did not deliberately fight too fast. At his current state, boxing has reached a state where the emphasis is on intention rather than weight. Like Buddhism, it focuses on enlightenment and uses spiritual power to drive the improvement of strength.
Liu Dong practiced a set of Mantis Boxing and a set of eight punches for nearly an hour. After moving his body, he slowly stopped.
"Liu, what you just practiced was Chinese Kung Fu?"
Looking at DelRoosevelt standing aside with a curious look on his face, Liu Dong smiled and nodded. He had noticed the other person when he was practicing boxing just now, but he didn't make a sound.
"It's amazing. If I hadn't seen your amazing performance on the plane, I wouldn't have believed that such slow movements could develop strength and fighting ability that are far beyond ordinary people!" Roosevelt shook his head and said with disbelief.
.
"Mr. Roosevelt, as an ancient civilization with thousands of years of history, things that can be passed down naturally have their own value! Kung Fu is one of them!" Liu Dong said.
"Yes, China has a long history of civilization, which is really admirable and enviable!"
After sighing, DelRoosevelt said: "By the way, Liu, I have good news for you. Your application for awarding you the Special Presidential Medal of Freedom has been approved by the President! A week later, President Bush will personally award you the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House.
Xun!"
As for the $1 million that came with the medal, DelRoosevelt didn't say anything because he had already used his own connections to find out that what Liu Dong said before was not a lie. Facing a rich man with a net worth of several billion, $10,000 was really too much. Dispensable!
"One week later!" Liu Dongsi said after some discussion, "Mr. Roosevelt, can I not accept this medal?"
"No? Why, do you know what a great honor this is? And having this medal will also be of great benefit to your future development in the United States!" Del Roosevelt said after being surprised.
This is the first time he has encountered a precedent of a private person refusing the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It would be understandable if Liu Dong was a government official, but he is just a businessman and has no identity restrictions.
Seeing the surprised and anxious look on Del Roosevelt's face, Liu Dong knew that the other party must have contributed a lot in this matter, and he did not want to refuse the other party's kindness, but Liu Dong didn't care much about the so-called American Medal. Take it seriously, and he is really in trouble!
"Mr. Roosevelt, after I plan to cooperate with the US and government investigations, I will go to Canada. There is a very important person to me there. We have not seen each other for more than a year. I want to visit him!"
The person Liu Dong said was very important to him was Uncle Long, who had been supporting him when he was in Quancheng. Since the old man came to Canada to settle down, Liu Dong could only talk to the old man on the phone.
This visit to the United States was an opportunity. Originally, he was planning to wait for the Christie's auction to stop by and visit Canada. Now the auction has been postponed, and he has nothing to do in the United States, so he just went to visit!
Looking at the firm expression on Liu Dong's face, DelRoosevelt, who is good at observing words and expressions, knew that the other party would definitely not change his plan!
"Liu, let's do this. I'll apply to the White House to hold the award ceremony in Phoenix! That should be fine, right?"
"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Roosevelt!"
Although Liu Dong doesn't care about a Presidential Medal of Freedom, he cannot care less about Del Roosevelt's friendship.
"Haha, just promise! Let's go, the breakfast at Wilcona Barracks is delicious, I believe they have prepared it!"
After nodding, the two of them walked towards the restaurant together.
Del Roosevelt's application was finally approved by the White House, but the price was that only one medal ended up in Liu Dong's hands, and $1 million was deducted!
But Liu Dong doesn't care about this little money.
In the following days, Liu Dong accepted questions from nearly 18 departments in the United States. He had already thought of answers and answered everyone's questions without any flaws.
They even took the Americans to the underground maze, which was only 2,000 meters deep and more than a dozen kilometers or even longer in the underground cave. The American soldiers were confused and couldn't find Liu Dong's mouth. The existence of those savage Indians.
The American soldiers couldn't waste too much energy for an underground maze and the Indian tribes who didn't know what was hiding there, so after searching for four or five days and finding nothing, they finally used explosives to blow up several exits, hoping to blow away the barbaric beast. After the indigenous Indian tribes were sealed underground forever, they withdrew their troops and returned to camp!
Moreover, Superstition Mountain is not a good place. It is inaccessible and full of rattlesnakes and poisonous lizards. No one wants to stay here any longer.
…
"Dong, are you really not going to New York with me?".
Holding Liu Dong's arm, Ivanka was a little reluctant to leave. After all, as far as the relationship between the two was concerned, they were in a period of intense love and affection after they fell in love, and they couldn't bear to separate for a minute.
"You go first. I have to go to Canada. In about 10 days, I will go to New York. Then we can meet again!"
After comforting Ivanka, Liu Dong put her on the train.
After the terrorist attacks, the industry that was most affected was the air transportation industry. In the past, Americans usually drove short distances and flew long distances, and few people took slow trains.
But now, out of concerns about travel safety, almost everyone has changed their mode of transportation. Even Donald, a guy with a private jet, has changed to taking the train. And the more than 100 million people in the United States are all crowded into the train station.
You can imagine how crowded it was!
If Liu Dong hadn't been so sure that he was in the United States, he would have thought he was experiencing the Spring Festival travel rush in China!
"Okay, but you have to remember to call me!" Ivanka nodded reluctantly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do it!"
"Ivanka, the train is leaving, we need to go!" Donald Trump shouted in the distance.
Since it was confirmed that Liu Dong is indeed a billionaire whose net worth exceeds his own, and that he is a self-made man, Donald no longer objects to his daughter's relationship with Liu Dong.
Because he knows very well that this young Chinese is really a business genius! Now is the time to invest! If his daughter can marry the other party, it will also be a good thing for him. China's rapidly growing real estate market
He is also very greedy!
After seeing off Ivanka, Liu Dong did not immediately leave because he had to wait for Zhang Fan here.
For this man who had controlled Qingyang Venture Capital for more than a year and nearly doubled the company's assets, even if Liu Dong guessed that he was coming to ask for money, he still couldn't shut him out.
.
And after more than a year of understanding, Liu Dong also has a better understanding of the Internet industry that Zhang Fan is obsessed with. Although he still doesn't understand the future of this emerging industry, it does not prevent Liu Dong from feeling more and more
This industry is closely related to your own life.
Especially after coming to the United States, Liu Dong personally used Google to get the information he wanted from the Internet. The convenience left a deep impression on him.
There is a saying in China that "a scholar knows everything about the world without going out." The emergence of the Internet made Liu Dong understand this truth.
In the United States, a country with a more complete Internet foundation than China, Liu Dong feels the charm of this industry more intuitively! (To be continued...)
