Chapter 224 Oak Manor

"Have you met Donald? You are going to Asia soon. I don't want any problems to occur during your term."

In the AOL headquarters building, Bautman leaned on a chair and looked seriously at William Prolos in front of him. Although Prolos was as strong as a bear, he still had to be cautious in front of Botman.

"Oh, he is busier than the President of the United States." Poulos complained first, "He is not in Virginia now. You will find him all over the United States..."

These days, Pross originally wanted to invite Peng Bo for a drink, but Peng Bo really didn't have the time to do it.

For several days, he has been visiting American business leaders and old friends, the vice president of Microsoft in Seattle. The two got along very well in China. When Peng Bo's first list came out, he personally called him.

, of course, he also met Bill Gates in Seattle.

The schedule is tight, with Jack Welch of General Motors, William Owens, co-CEO and vice chairman of Skynet, Thomas Reed, chairman and CEO of Reader's Digest Federation of America,...

"There is no place for me on his list." The muscular Pross complained like a resentful woman.

"Oh, he is really sociable and good at dancing," Portman showed a smile. "You have the kind of friends you have according to your status. It seems that his influence does not correspond to the position of president of Greater China...

So, where is he now?" Boltman suddenly asked.

"I don't know, let me ask," Prolos quickly got through the phone and shrugged when he put down the phone, "He is in New Orleans now..."

"Why go so far away?" Botman was puzzled.

"This was his last stop in the United States. Amazon's Bezos accompanied him to Oak Manor. It seemed that they met at the Global 500 Forum in Shanghai last year..."



Oak Manor is about an hour's drive from New Orleans. Starting from New Orleans, cross a steel frame bridge over the Mississippi River, walk along the river bank for a while, and you will see this mysterious and magnificent Oak Manor.

"This is Oak Manor." Bezos' wife McKenzie introduced with a smile. She has a very gentle personality. Peng Bo had a good impression of this woman from the first time he met her, not the big mouth later.

woman.

Shi Jiao and Luo Yan were also looking outside, at the green grassland with no walls and a guardrail marking its boundary.

The movie "Gone with the Wind" based on Margaret Mitchell's famous novel "Gone with the Wind" was shot here. There is a passage in the novel, "This was once the land of knights and cotton, called the Old South... In this

In this beautiful world, chivalry has become a thing of the past. Knights and ladies, manor owners and slaves, appeared here for the last time. They can only be seen in books. Now they are just the memories of dreams. A generation of civilization, drifting away in the wind..."

When Tongqi was still in school, Peng Bo and his girlfriend at the time made an appointment to come here to have a look. However, the beautiful woman passed away, leaving him alone to fulfill this long-cherished wish.



To this day, in the hearts of old Americans, the manor is still a symbol of the lost elegant civilization.

Guides dressed in 19th-century costumes will lead you to visit the main buildings of the manor and appreciate the style of the plantation owners back then.

"This manor, built in 1837-1839, is named after the 28 huge oak trees in the courtyard..."

Standing in front of the two-and-a-half-story main building of the manor, Bezos smiled and said, "Donald, I know why you have to come here." He looked at his wife with a smile, and McKinsey also looked at her husband with a smile.

There is no doubt that now they are a couple who get along well with each other, and there are no cracks in their marriage, "because you are a writer."

writer?

I am a writer? Peng Bo has some doubts about his identity.

"By the way, haven't you read the newspaper these days?" Bezos' driver handed the newspaper over. "It's all your reports." Bezos raised his eyebrows.

Huh?

Peng Bo took over. He was just the president of the Greater China region under the new company. There would be no media attention when he came to the United States. However, American newspapers are now full of reports about his other identity.

——Financial writer.

Moreover, several newspapers have listed him as a doctor from a British university, a publisher of lists, a TV program producer, and as a president of Greater China.

The Wall Street Journal even paid attention to him, specifically mentioning that "China's private media enjoy great success and come to the United States to seek cooperation..." and listed many big bosses he has met recently.

"I am a fox pretending to be a tiger." Peng Bo said modestly.

"A fox is pretending to be a tiger?" Bezos was puzzled. He looked at his wife, and McKinsey also shook his head.

"You are the big fish and I am the little shrimp. Only when I pay attention to you do I pay attention." Peng Bo said with a smile.

"No, you are the king of Chinese media," Bezos said. "Now the whole world is reading your "I Moved Your Cheese". My wife is also a writer. She is also your loyal reader.

"

"There is also "Details Determine Success or Failure."" McKinsey said with a smile, "I like both books very much, and employees in our company are now reading these two books."

Really? Peng Bo smiled. He didn't expect that he would become famous like this.

"And, on our Amazon, your book sales are very good." Bezos added. Yes, with Lafayette personally recommending it, the sales will not be bad.

"Oh, I'm taking a call," McKenzie apologized, stepping aside but quickly returning, "Donald, can I make a request?"

"Please speak." Peng Bo said politely.

"A friend of mine, Christopher, wants to interview you. Yes, he is at the gate of the manor now. Sorry," McKinsey looked uneasy, "I think..."

"I accepted his interview." Peng Bo said with a smile. He also smiled and looked at Bezos. With a little effort, giving face to a friend's wife is giving face to a friend.

Sure enough, Bezos laughed.

The New York Times is the most powerful newspaper in the United States. It would not hurt for Peng Bo to appear in the newspaper. It is impossible for his American colleagues to remain silent. "If the news is not reported, it will have no impact."

Under the oak tree, Peng Bo looked at the famous New York Times columnist and a big-name reporter, who was very prestigious in the mainstream media in the United States.

It was he who became famous in China for his article on the dispute over the Diaoyu Islands published in the New York Times. Who owns the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands? Christopher insisted: "I think it should be China's, there is no doubt about it."

He put forward three points of view. First, China's navigation records show that the Diaoyu Islands belong to China "for centuries." Second, the map printed by Japan in 1783 indicates that the Diaoyu Islands belong to China. Third, Japan is in

In 1884, it pretended to "discover" the Diaoyu Islands, and then in 1895, when it acquired Taiwan under the Treaty of Shimonoseki, it also acquired the Diaoyu Islands.

The Japanese are very quibbling. They said that when Japan took away the Diaoyu Islands, China did not protest. Christopher then retorted that China was very weak at that time and even lost the entire Taiwan Province. Would they still go to peace for a few rocky islands?

Japan fights? What the Japanese say is really ridiculous.

In short, this is a conscientious reporter and a good friend!
