Chapter 738 Empire! !
The White House, the living room.

With a cigar in hand, President Reagan said to Chen Xiaotang: "I heard that you will invest in Washington on a large scale?"

Although his words were questioning, Chen Xiaotang heard an unquestionable affirmation from it, obviously he had received some news.Besides, there is no need to deny this matter, so Chen Xiaotang nodded, "Yes, I think that Washington, as the political, economic and cultural center of the United States, has unlimited potential for future development. Taking advantage of such a good time to enter the market now, I will definitely be able to obtain huge profits in the future .”

"So how much do you plan to invest?" Reagan looked at him without blinking.

"Not too much for the time being, but it may be added to 1000 billion in the end..."

"1000 billion? U.S. dollars?!"

"Yes!"

"Hehe, you have quite a lot of money!" Reagan said in a daze, "1000 billion dollars, I guess you can even buy the White House where I live?!"

Chen Xiaotang smiled wryly, "Mr. President, you think highly of me too much, I still have self-knowledge, should I buy this place?" Looking around, "Probably, there is no way!"

"Hahaha!" Reagan laughed again, "How can there be no game? According to the law of capital development, the richer people will only get richer! You can control hundreds of billions now, and you can control trillions in the future... to At that time, not to mention buying the White House, it is possible to buy the whole world! This is the charm of capitalism!"

Money is everything!
Capital circulation, money never sleeps! ! !
You know, this is a world ruled by businessmen! ! !

Chen Xiaotang smiled wryly again, and the old man in front of him pushed himself forward desperately, "It is true that I have some money now, but look at the company under me, alas, compared with the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, it is not up-to-date at all, so , you don’t have to worry about me!”

What Chen Xiaotang said was very straightforward. Having personal wealth does not mean having a huge family power, and this kind of power is a force that cannot be ignored in affecting the progress of the United States and the world.Not to mention the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family that Chen Xiaotang said, as long as anyone with a discerning eye knows that the most powerful person in the world is not the President of the United States, nor Saddam Hussein, nor the Russians, but those who are in charge of billions of dollars. , the huge and incomparably super financial empire emperor --- for example, Rothschild! ! !

You only need to study history a little bit, you will find that there is a shadow of this financial family in WW[-] and WW[-], they control European banks, North American banks, Asian banks, in a sense, they are the real world empire greatest ruler of all!
Reagan is not an idiot, of course he understands this, because after hearing what Chen Xiaotang said, he nodded, flicked the ashes of his cigar, and said: "So you are going to learn from old Rockefeller and old Morgan, just like them Produced directly in the large-scale construction of the country? Then gain political capital...?"

"What did you say?" Chen Xiaotang was stunned, what do you mean, isn't this obviously asking me to cultivate family power?Would the U.S. government be so kind to let a Chinese build a huge consortium? !

Faced with such a strong temptation, it is estimated that nine out of ten people will choose to agree with great excitement.

After all, as long as there is the support of the US government and so much capital, it is enough to dominate the US business and political circles.The most important thing is to be able to wash off the traces of "upstarts" in the stock market, squeeze into the upper class, and become a real American chaebol!

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xiaotang tried his best to resist this temptation, because he knew that behind this temptation were compromises and traps. American politicians are not philanthropists, and they definitely don't have such good intentions.

"Sorry, dear Mr. President, I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot accept it!"

President Reagan was surprised by Chen Xiaotang's words, "Oh, why?! Don't you know what a great opportunity this is?! As long as you are willing to nod, then tomorrow I can make you an American citizen! Become an upstart in the upper class , to be the best friend of our American government..."

"Thank you, thank you for your kindness!" Chen Xiaotang had to interrupt him, and said flatly: "Although I refuse to cooperate with you, I promise that I will never participate in the politics of other countries...you know, I Just an actor, my biggest dream is to act and become an Oscar winner, not to be a politician or a big chaebol! I hope Mr. President can understand this point."

"So... don't you want to be the Chief Executive of Hong Kong in the future?" Reagan had studied "One Country, Two Systems" and the "Sino-British Joint Declaration on Hong Kong", and knew that after Hong Kong's return, a Chief Executive would be elected to manage Hong Kong's affairs.And obviously, if Chen Xiaotang wanted to do it, it would be a sure thing.

After all, celebrities have certain advantages in politics. Like myself, popularity is the biggest weapon.

"No, no, I don't think you understand me yet." Chen Xiaotang shook his head and said, "I said before, I just want to act, I don't want to be a politician, whether it's from the United States or Hong Kong, I don't want to be a politician." ! That's all!!!"

"Hehe, your idea is really unique." Reagan said with a smile: "If I had not had too much ambition like you back then, maybe I could have enjoyed a more comfortable life, acting, drinking tea, and having fun with my children. Get together happily, instead of hugging each other wherever you go like now, without any freedom!"

Chen Xiaotang didn't know whether the old man in front of him was telling the truth or a lie, because the other party was really good at acting, senior, it's okay.

"Hehe, maybe." Chen Xiaotang said with a faint smile: "Although what you said is indeed good, but many things cannot be turned back, so I made this choice, because I don't want to regret it when I get old!"

Yes, how many dreams can a person have? !
Maybe being the president of the United States looks glamorous on the surface, but is this really what you want?
I miss the experience on the stage and the humor on the silver screen...

The old man Reagan couldn't help but sighed, showing his true nature for the first time.

"Okay, then let's not talk about this topic, let's talk about your views on the international situation!" Reagan smoked a cigar, looking like a big boss.This made Chen Xiaotang smile somewhat, thinking: "If I play a role like the president in the future, will I have to use a cigar as a prop?"

"I'm not familiar with this." Although Chen Xiaotang already knew that the Soviet Union would disintegrate in the near future, East and West Germany would merge, and that the United States would send troops to Iraq, how could he tell Reagan, a Yankee, these things?Of course it was a direct excuse.

"Don't be so nervous!" Reagan said with a gentle smile: "People say that an excellent filmmaker must have a keen sense of touch, and the perception of the outside world must be beyond ordinary people, right? Haha, besides, now you But the most famous person in the entire world, I don't believe it, you really don't know anything!"

"Haha, it seems that if I don't say anything today, I'm afraid this old guy really won't believe it," Chen Xiaotang looked at Reagan, who was like an old fox, and had to quickly flash some information that was beneficial to him in his mind.

It's hard to fool a smart person, but if what you say isn't pure deceit, no matter how smart you are, you can't help being fooled.

"You really want to hear my opinion on the international situation?" Chen Xiaotang looked at Reagan, who had an unquestionable expression.So, he nodded and said, "Okay, then let me tell you a little bit of my own opinion!"

Chen Xiaotang carefully recalled some things about the Cold War that he saw on TV in his previous life, and also thought of the Iran-Iraq War that started in 80, and finally said: "When do you think the Iran-Iraq War will be complete? stop?"

"Hehe, test me?" Reagan chuckled and said, "Now the UN Security Council has intervened and is preparing Resolution 598, sternly demanding that Iran and Iraq stop the war unconditionally. This time the resolution has aroused the support of people all over the world. , so..." He looked at Chen Xiaotang, "Do you think it's far from their truce?"

"Hehe, isn't that enough?" Chen Xiaotang tricked out Reagan's words, so he said with a smile: "Then, how long do you think the Soviet Union can last?"

"Huh!" When the word "Soviet Union" was mentioned, Reagan felt a little suffocated, slapped his desk vigorously, and said angrily: "The biggest enemy of our United States is the Soviet Union, a huge thing, and we want to drag it down." The idea of ​​this idea was conceived decades ago, but it has never been successful. If you ask me this question now, I can only tell you one thing: I don’t know.”

"Hehe, didn't you notice something strange?" Chen Xiaotang didn't tell him directly, but guided Reagan's thinking step by step.

"You mean...?" Reagan came to his senses in an instant, and looked at Chen Xiaotang seriously, as if he wanted to find some subconscious things from his face, but unfortunately, since Chen Xiaotang learned to practice, it is impossible for ordinary people Find something else from the expression on his face.

"Well," Chen Xiaotang responded in a low voice, nodded and said, "They wouldn't have fallen into crisis so quickly, but since Gorbachev came to power in 1985 and implemented a series of so-called reform policies, the Soviet Union I believe you have definitely seen the changes that have taken place in the past two years, right?"

"Hehe," Reagan smiled while biting his cigar, "If you said this, you didn't say anything. Everyone can see the current difficult situation in the Soviet Union. Just buy a newspaper and you will be able to understand it at a glance!"

It seemed that it would be impossible not to show one's hand, Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly, "Then, respectful Mr. President, I will say the same thing, how long do you think the Soviet Union can last?"

"How would I know this?" Reagan laughed, "I'm not the chairman of their Soviets!"

"Maybe, but I heard that your old man is planning to use his pocket money to buy up the Soviet Union's industrial bankruptcy..." Chen Xiaotang also said with a smile.

The old man Reagan was stunned, or rather stunned.

Suddenly, "It's interesting, it's so interesting!" Reagan laughed loudly, looked at Chen Xiaotang who didn't care, and suddenly his face darkened: "How do you know this?"

Chen Xiaotang shrugged, "As you said, buy a newspaper and read it!"

Reagan was speechless.

"You'd better not talk about such things, after all..."

Before Reagan finished speaking, "Don't worry, dear Mr. President, those are all my guesses; besides, I didn't want to say it at first, hehe, you asked me to say it yourself, Mr. President."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Reagan waved his hand helplessly: "After talking about the economy and the world situation, let's talk about women now! I think this topic must be handy for you?"

"Don't say that." Chen Xiaotang said flattered: "As a public figure, the most taboo thing is this kind of gossip; besides, my girlfriend is in Hong Kong, and I am wandering in North America alone. How can there be any handy words?" ?”

"Haha, do you still want to hide from me?" Reagan smiled triumphantly while biting his cigar, opened the drawer, and threw a stack of photos over, "See for yourself."

"Dizzy, the president is stealing~shooting?" Chen Xiaotang looked at these photos, and a flame rose in his heart immediately, staring at Reagan and said in a deep voice: "Mr. President, I think you should give me a good explanation for this matter! "

Looking at those photos again, almost all of them were sneak shots of him and Madonna having a tryst together.

Of course, as an entertaining public figure, this kind of photo should have appeared in the hands of gossip paparazzi, not on the president's desk. This shows how much the White House attaches importance to Chen Xiaotang. He is an agent responsible for maintaining world peace and protecting the White House. They even temporarily acted as paparazzi!

"Are you angry?" Reagan took out a bottle of red wine and two glasses from the desk with a smile on his face, unscrewed the lid, and said with a smile while pouring the wine, "If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself!"

"Myself?" Chen Xiaotang was really angry, and sneered: "Although you have a state machine, you must know that I can still sue for invasion of personal privacy. The United States is a country that emphasizes democracy and laws, isn't it?!"

"Hehe, don't be angry, come on, let's have a drink!" Reagan brought out the wine, then forcefully stuffed a glass into Chen Xiaotang's hand, and he himself took a sip and said, "Hehe, who told you Then generously spent 100 billion to save the world at once, compared with the government departments of our countries! Just imagine for yourself, what would we do in the face of a monster like you? I dare say, this kind of photo is definitely not just me Yes, the Soviet Union, Britain, Japan, and even mainland China!"

"Why, why did you do this?" Chen Xiaotang said helplessly, could this be Mu Xiuyu Lin? "Why are all your eyes focused on me? I didn't do anything wrong! Hmph, is this a so-called politician?!"

"No! No! I'm not a politician, I'm just an old man who is about to retire forever!" Reagan looked quite serious, but what he said almost depressed Chen Xiaotang to death. He took a sip of red wine and shook his head in his heart , old man, you can invest in the Soviet Union, invest a lot, if the estimate is good, it will be two or three years before the Soviet Union goes bankrupt, what a shame!

"Young man, it seems that you are very unconvinced!" Reagan slowly raised his eyes, took another sip of red wine, blinked his mouth and said: "Some things have rules, this is a game. And you play too hot It’s too hot to steal other people’s glory, hehe~ You said that in this case, if we don’t pay attention to you, who should we pay attention to?”

"Then you can't pry into my privacy..." Chen Xiaotang was furious, and his chest felt even tighter.

"Don't worry, no one will announce these things!" Reagan looked down at his footsteps, and said with a smile: "Old guys like us who are dying, do you think you are still interested in seeing such things?" ?”

"Then why did you give me this?" Chen Xiaotang's thinking at this moment was obviously messed up, and he couldn't remember what Reagan meant by doing this.

"You are a smart person, I should have figured it out." Reagan patted him on the shoulder, and then smiled: "But your girlfriend is really top-notch, really, I swear to God about this, maybe you don't know, I'm also a fan of hers!"

Old man Reagan is a fan of Madonna? !
It's so sloppy!
But unfortunately, he had no choice but to smile wryly and stare blankly.

"Haha~..." Reagan laughed loudly, and said in a funny way: "Young man, when you are angry, I actually feel more handsome than you when you smile."

Chen Xiaotang was speechless, so he had to pick up the old man Reagan's red wine bottle, and finished the bottle in a few sips, but this made Reagan depressed, and shouted: "God, that's the out-of-print Bordeaux that I have treasured for 40 years. , a bottle is worth tens of thousands of dollars! You devil...you..."

Chen Xiaotang shrugged, "I just said why this wine is so bad, it turned out to be expired! May God bless, don't let me have diarrhea, otherwise I will come here to ask for medical expenses... Amen!"

"God! Forgive this ignorant guy in front of you!" Reagan was about to cry. A bottle of top-quality Bordeaux red wine worth tens of thousands of dollars and at least 70 years old turned into expired spoiled wine in his mouth. This is something that makes Reagan's heart bleed!
Chen Xiaotang's reaction to this was still shrugging.

"Oh, forget it, I'm at a disadvantage today." Reagan shook his head and lifted the wine bottle, looked at the bottom of the bottle eagerly, but found that there was no drop, couldn't help feeling depressed again, turned around and said with a wry smile: " Remember, you boy, red wine is like a woman, and the best red wine is like the best woman, only a man who knows how to appreciate it will enjoy it."

Chen Xiaotang chuckled, "I've been taught, it seems that you understand women better than me, and I don't know if your lady knows?!"

Reagan, "I..."

"Ahem, it's almost time for dinner!" Reagan looked at his watch, then took Chen Xiaotang's hand and said, "Let's not talk about this... Let's go and try my wife's cooking skills."

"How is the craftsmanship, can you eat?" Chen Xiaotang shrank his neck deliberately, and asked very carefully.

"Don't go if you're afraid of death." Reagan pretended to be angry, "You are lucky if you can eat the food cooked by my wife. No one else can eat it if they want to!"

"Really so good?" Chen Xiaotang looked at Reagan very proudly, and suddenly said something that made him almost have a stroke: "Since your wife cooks so well, hehe, then whenever I come to the United States, I will come to you." Come to the White House to enjoy, do you think it's okay?"

Reagan: "I... you have a good idea."

Mrs. Reagan, Nancy Reagan, was also an actress before. Although her current age has long allowed her to pass her prime time as a woman, she still looks very young when she is well maintained, and she does not look so old at all.

And Nancy Reagan also expressed a warm welcome to Chen Xiaotang's arrival, and even brought slippers for him.A beautiful and kind woman.This is Chen Xiaotang's evaluation of her.

"Dear child, what do you want to eat?" Nancy Reagan said generously.

"I'm not very clear about this either, well, Madam, you can make the decision!" Chen Xiaotang was really not interested in Western-style dinners, so in desperation he had to leave the choice to Madam Nancy.

"Honey, let's make your best black pepper steak. I like it the most. This little guy will definitely like that kind of delicious food." Reagan said with a smile.

"Okay then, let's talk slowly!" Nancy turned and went into the kitchen after she finished speaking, while Chen Xiaotang was dragged by Reagan to sit down.

At this time, Reagan seemed more cordial, but Chen Xiaotang did not dare to take it lightly. Think about the old man in front of him who used "Star Wars" to bring down the huge Soviet Union, and took care of the United States into a "one super and many strong" The one super... countless iron proofs, proving that the old man who was born as an actor and star in front of him, he is joking on the surface, but in fact he has a hidden world inside, and he is definitely a political genius.

The change in Chen Xiaotang's expression was taken into the eyes of the old man Reagan, but the old fox was not disappointed, but a little happy, because now he found that Chen Xiaotang was actually quite like him, and he had this kind of feeling at a young age. Chengfu, if he can't be overwhelmed by his aura, what's more valuable is to know how to "hide clumsiness", and he doesn't have the arrogance of young people after being promoted... Well, such young people are quite interesting.

In the following time, under Chen Xiaotang's deliberate restraint of emotions and words and deeds, they seemed relatively harmonious.In particular, Mrs. Nancy is really good at cooking western food. The pepper steak is delicious, and it tastes even more delicious when paired with the red wine collected by President Reagan.

After having a good dinner, Chen Xiaotang finally had a full stomach, wiped his mouth with unsatisfied desire, and then chatted with Reagan for a while, before saying goodbye politely.It's just that when he was leaving, Mrs. Nancy still enthusiastically told him to get married quickly so that the old couple could go and ask for a wedding drink. This proposal made Chen Xiaotang smile wryly, but he still nodded happily in agreement.

Seeing Chen Xiaotang, supported by his group of bodyguards, drove away from the White House.The old man Reagan looked at the back of the convoy with a half-smile, and his wife Nancy beside him couldn't help laughing and said, "This young man is very energetic, just like you were when you were young."

"Really? When I was as young as him, I was not as successful as him!"

"But you're more ambitious than him, aren't you?" Nancy took his hand.

Reagan smiled: "Did you think he didn't? He just hid it..."
