Chapter 1673

If we compare the man in the American play "house of cards" to a university professor, then Schwarzenegger's political wisdom, in front of him, can barely reach the category of middle school students.

Li Mu found that although Schwarzenegger was elected governor, it can be seen from this interview that his seven spirits and six spirits still stay in the entertainment circle.

The stars in the entertainment circle are too good at exposure and too keen on exposure, so they always put satellites. No matter whether it's reliable or not and how successful it is, they should first throw them out to win a wave of eyeballs. In this, one of the six teachers who played monkey king knows this well. It doesn't matter if they take pictures together for more than ten years. Satellites should be put out now.

However, a truly intelligent politician will not blindly pursue the satellite launch. He will judge the situation according to the actual situation, and he will not delay the launch of the satellite if it needs to be released early; he will not be anxious if it needs to be released late.

In Li Mu's view, Schwarzenegger should not be given face to attend his inauguration ceremony, or exposed to the public at this time.

First of all, Schwarzenegger can't wait to be exposed, which really makes Li Mu a little uncomfortable, because he feels that he has become a kind of capital for Schwarzenegger to boast and raise his value in front of the media. Schwarzenegger's rectification of this issue is equivalent to adding a gap between the two people's relations;

Second, in Li Mu's view, even if he is a heavy one Mr. Schwarzenegger shouldn't be exposed in advance at this time. The early exposure only increases people's expectations, but only by covering the secret can everyone be stunned at the critical moment. The latter is obviously more powerful than the former.

It's like the first atomic bomb in China, which was announced to the whole world after the explosion, brought a huge shock to the West. On the contrary, if we clamor around in advance to prepare for the test explosion of the nuclear bomb, we don't need to say how big the shock can be, and how much trouble it will cause, even if we don't dare to think about it.

Li Mu has seen this issue more thoroughly. If Schwarzenegger can bring certain benefits to himself, the apparent relationship should at least continue to be stable. After all, he will be in charge of California for eight years. If the benefits are not satisfied, he will gradually alienate and gradually disconnect.

On the night after Schwarzenegger was elected, Spielberg, Anne Hathaway and other Hollywood actors and staff left China on a Boeing 747 of Air China. Li Mu was ready to leave China two days before Schwarzenegger's inauguration ceremony.

Chen Ze helped Li Mu buy the Gulfstream G550. Li Mu bought it to meet the demand of going back and forth to the United States and Europe. This time, it's just time to take a walk.

Due to Schwarzenegger's early disclosure of Li Mu's itinerary, Li Mu had been receiving consultations from various media in the past few days before he left for the United States. Even many American media wanted to take the opportunity to ask Li Mu for face-to-face interviews. Li muquan let Li Ziwei get rid of it, but unexpectedly, Time magazine sent an invitation to Li Mu, their editor in chief list It is hoped that Li Mu will become the cover person of the next issue of time and make an exclusive interview for Li Mu.

Li Ziwei excitedly conveyed the news to Li Mu and said happily, "Mr. Li, no one has ever appeared on the cover of this weekly magazine!"

Li Mu frowned slightly and asked her, "is it the American version or the Asian version?"

"American version," said Li Ziwei

Li Mu's impression is that Baidu's boss Li once appeared on the cover of time, but it seems to be the Asian version.

The influence of time magazine is really great. It is a precious honor for Li Mu to be invited to be a cover person, but he is not very interested in it.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong. Li Mu is now famous to the extreme, so he doesn't need to take a time magazine seriously. So Li Mu said to Li Ziwei, "I've arranged my trip to America this time, and I don't have time to accompany them to make an exclusive interview. If they want to use me as a cover, I can take a picture of my third birthday with my parents Delegate to them. As for the interview, whatever they want to write, let them play it freely. "

Li Ziwei said in surprise: "Mr. Li, this is time magazine! You can't be so hasty. How many people dream of being on the cover of time magazine. It's a good opportunity for you to publicize and a great honor! "

Li Mu said with a smile, "are you stupid? On the ability of information delivery, Time magazine can match us? Who can borrow and who can publicize it? "

After that, Li Mu said again, "well, don't take time seriously. If they think I have enough weight to put on their cover, let them write what they write. I don't care, but I won't take the time to cooperate with them in exclusive interviews. We don't need a time to raise our price."

Li Ziwei spits out her tongue and says, "then you can just choose a picture of you. For example, when you gave a speech at Harvard, I think a lot of photos are very good."

Li Mu waved his hand and said with a smile, "we all choose the most satisfactory photo on the cover, so do I. what I am most satisfied with is not one of my own snapshots, or the birthday photo I took with my parents when I was three years old."Li Mu takes his wallet from his desk and takes out an old photo with some yellow color. This photo was taken in the old photo studio. Li Mu wears his mother's knitted sweater and holds a bunch of plastic flowers provided by the photo studio. His father and mother squat beside him. They support his waist and back, one on the left and one on the right, although the background is the fresco of Tian'anmen It seems very fake, but all three of them have a natural and happy smile on their faces. They can't be real any more.

In the upper right corner of the picture, there are also some small characters with gilding words: "Li Mu's third birthday commemoration". The gilding strokes are naturally mottled.

Li Mu handed the picture to Li Ziwei and said, "look, this picture is more commemorative. It has me, my parents, and Tian'anmen, the landmark building of China. You can see the five-star red flag flying when you look carefully."

Li Ziwei stared at the picture for a long time, and sighed heartily: "when my parents were young, they were really talented."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yan is very good at fighting."

Li Ziwei made a sound, then thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, did you have a strong local style in this picture of time in the American edition?"

Li Mu said with a nonchalant smile: "in their eyes, apart from money, what interests them is the exotic customs of me as a Chinese? If I wear a suit and tie, I'll lose a lot of foreign customs. "

Li Ziwei chuckled. Seeing Li Mu's insistence, she nodded and said, "OK, I'll reply to them first and see what they think."

Li Mu asked: "by the way, you tell them that it doesn't matter how the content is written, but there is one thing that must be stopped."

"You say, I'll pass it on to them."

"Don't say that I'm God's favor or God's blessing. Tell them that I'm a firm atheist," said Li

……

Felix, editor in chief of time magazine, was dissatisfied with the decision of Time Warner, the parent company of time magazine, to put Li Mu on the cover of American Time magazine.

In Felix's view, Li Mu is really a powerful person, but this guy is a white supremacy racist in his heart, and has a strong prejudice against Chinese and even yellow people.

He never thought that Li Mu would be on the cover of the American Time magazine, but he didn't expect that the senior management of Time Warner would call directly and ask him to position Li Mu as the cover character of the next issue.

As Felix protested, he proposed Shuaiguo to the Asia Edition Editorial Department of time in Hong Kong. In his opinion, Li Mu is Asian anyway, so it's natural for him to go on the cover of the Asia Edition.

However, Time Warner's senior management didn't give him any chance to refute. Instead, they gave him a death order, asking that Li Mu be arranged for the next issue.

Felix realized that the high-level intention was strong, so he sent an email to Li Mu's assistant, Li Ziwei, and got in touch.

Felix thought that when Li Mu heard the news, he would definitely agree without hesitation, because it is an absolute honor for any Chinese entrepreneur.

In Felix's view, so far, no Chinese entrepreneur has been on the cover of time magazine. In Japan, which is not far from China, it's only with the help of Panasonic founder Yukio Matsushita and Sony founder Akio Morita, who has been famous in the West for many years. Li Mu is expected to be the first one among Chinese entrepreneurs, which is for him I must wake up with a smile in my dream.

Just thinking about this, his assistant came to report and said, "Mr. Felix, Li Mu's personal assistant just called me. She said that Li Mu can be on our cover, but she has some requirements."

Felix snorted coldly and said, "let him on the cover. What else does he want?"

The assistant nodded and said awkwardly, "Li Mu designated the photo he took with his parents when he was three years old, and said that if we want him to be on the cover, we must use this photo."

"What a piece of shit!" Felix sneered: "so far, I haven't heard of any adult who would use childhood photos to go to time."

Assistant helplessly said: "besides, Li Mu said that he will not accept any interviews, so if we want to write about him, we can only feed ourselves."

"No access?! What a big shelf! "

The assistant nodded and said, "Li Ziwei means that we can play freely, as long as we don't deliberately smear and attack Li Mu."

After saying that, he thought of something and hurriedly said: "by the way, and finally, Li Mu said that he was an atheist, so when we write his content, God cannot appear..."
