559【Investment and Return】

Hotel, VIP room—

Song Zhichao and Bill Clinton savored the best Bordeaux red wine together. The bright red wine, against the backdrop of the light, was like a precious water of life.

No one knows that Bill will meet with such a person, a Chinese or a young Chinese at this time.

It can be said that since the moment Bill Clinton became president, there have been few people who have been treated like this, and it is even more unimaginable that he is a young Chinese who has been treated like this.

In fact, the reason why Song Zhichao was so "respected" by Bill is very simple. At the most critical moment of Bill's campaign, Song Zhichao privately supported him. To be precise, he sponsored and supported him in terms of money, and that amount was incomparable to many people, with a total of 30 million US dollars!

When a Chinese person is about to lose the election, he dares to support you 30 million in one go and help you participate in the final battle. This unparalleled courage alone will impress Bill.

What's more, in Bill's view, it was precisely because of Song Zhichao's timely help that he was able to turn defeat into victory at the last moment of the election, successfully counterattack, and finally win.

Therefore, in some ways, Song Zhichao is equivalent to Bill's benefactor, the hero behind the push of him to the throne of US president.

Of course, he would have to be treated with more courtesy to Song Zhichao.

"Oh, dear Song, I have heard about what happened to you before - I'm very sorry, I didn't expect such a thing to happen." Bill raised the red wine glass to Song Zhichao, and apologized sincerely.

The "accident" mentioned by Bill Clindu refers to the incident where Song Zhichao's subordinate Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong had a conflict with the police.

Unexpectedly, Washington was so big, the news spread quickly, especially in such a short time that it reached the ears of Bill, the new president, which shows how sharp the US intelligence agencies are.

Of course, Song Zhichao understood that Bill's words were not for nothing, nor was he really caring about him. The purpose of saying these words was to declare his "ability" - to be precise, Bill Clinton was telling Song Zhichao that he has become president now and is no longer the candidate Bill who begs his grandfather and seeks funds to attract sponsorship in order to participate in the election.

The candidate and the president, the transition between the two roles, Bill did it naturally.

"I worry you, dear Bill - in fact, I came here today mainly to congratulate you. Yes, congratulations on your success in the election, that's that simple." Song Zhichao also raised his red wine glass and signaled at Bill Clinton, and smiled.

"Thank you for your congratulations, and thank you for your help and support all the time." Bill seemed very polite.

The more polite you are, the more you are deliberately trying to distance each other.

After all, he is now president - and the president of the United States, the world's strongest country.

"That's all right, come and have a drink!" Song Zhichao clinked Bill with gracefully.

The two of them had their own thoughts, savored them, and then slowly put down the wine glass.

"By the way, dear Song, you gave me great help this time. I don't know where I can give back to you - you know, we Americans are so clear about grudges. Well, I'm using this word right?" Bill said to Song Zhichao with a smile.

Instead of hiding each other and practicing Tai Chi with each other, it is better to just do it and come straight to the point.

Song Zhichao touched his chin with his hand and said with a smile: "Uh, since you have spoken, I really have two things to do with you."

Bill looked expectant, "Please tell me if I can help you..." But he was calculating in his heart how much "human debt" the 30 million US dollars that Song Zhichao supported him could be converted into.

"Well, the first thing is that the United States has long had many restrictions on Chinese investment in American companies and American companies. I think this restriction is somewhat unfavorable to each other's development. In a broad sense, you are racist discrimination. In a narrow sense, your selective restrictions will lose many opportunities to help American companies develop."

Bill looked at Song Zhichao, without saying anything, just listening carefully.

Song Zhichao played with the red wine glass with his hands, pondered for a while and continued: "For example, now I am very interested in a computer company called Microsoft in the United States. By the way, there is another computer company called Apple. I am also very good. I am going to invest in them, but after careful study, the United States does not seem to welcome foreign capital investment like me. Of course, I can borrow the identity of an American to invest, but this will be very troublesome. The most important thing is that I have to stay out of it... You know, I am a person with a strong desire for power. Since I have invested in the company, I like to participate in the operation. Therefore, I hope you can help you modify such unwritten provisions in the future. This will only benefit you and me, the United States, and the two companies in the United States, and there is no harm, right?"

Bill Clinton smiled and said, "You are right. Dear Song, the United States has always been very strict in technology investment - you know, the world is now in technology, especially in computer technology. Although companies like Microsoft and Apple require a lot of capital investment, they must also selectively select investors. The reason is very simple. The United States cannot hand over the highest technology to outsiders."

"Oh God, do you mean I'm an outsider?"

"I don't mean that, but that's the case," Bill said. "Unless Mr. Song is willing to give up his Chinese nationality and join our American Republic, if you speak, I will definitely help you get the green card that everyone dreams of as fast as possible."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhichao smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "There is no need for a green card. I can't change my nationality to do business."

Bill shrugged, showing his understanding.

Song Zhichao continued, "So that's the case, I'll settle for the second best - I'll find an agent to help invest in these two companies, what do you think?"

Bill: "Who is your agent?"

"Her name is Hong Xueli, and she is still in high school. She is a Chinese who has your American nationality. By the way, her father is still a member of the Los Angeles city government. How about it, is she suitable?"

Bill was silent.

He never expected that Song Zhichao would propose such a candidate. If the girl was threatening - she was still a high school student, if she was not threatening, she was also a Chinese after all.

In terms of identity and background, she is very suitable. Her father is a member of the Los Angeles US congressman and is considered a government official. She also has American nationality.

"Dear Song, I'm just curious, did you think about it very early?"

Song Zhichao smiled and replied: "Yes." Then he said in Chinese, "If you are not a race, your heart will be different!"

Of course, Bill didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. If he knew it, he would know why Song Zhichao suggested this.

Since he didn't understand, Bill nodded generously: "Well, let her be your representative and invest in Microsoft and Apple." Although Bill didn't know why Song Zhichao wanted to choose these two companies, he, a politician, didn't understand the investment interest of rich people.

"That's thank you!" Song Zhichao said with a smile.

The United States has always been extremely strict infiltration and prevention in domestic technology, especially in software development, and has eliminated the injection of foreign funds. Especially in the future, due to China's strong rise, the United States is even more worried. In addition to preventing Chinese people from investing in their major domestic technology projects, it has also encircled and banned China's super-new technology. The most famous of them is the ban on the excellent Chinese mobile phone brand - Hua W.

However, it is the early 1990s, and China's strength is not that strong, especially in terms of technology, so Americans do not value the Chinese very much - to be precise, they are full of contempt for the Chinese, thinking that they are lofty and feel that they are God, and the Chinese are primitive people, and are still in the primitive society of technology.

In addition, Song Zhichao was very sleekly using the unknown little girl "Hong Xueli" as an "agent" and investing in Microsoft and Apple in her name, which further eliminated Americans' vigilance - after all, a young girl who is not old and her father is a member of the Los Angeles US congressman, should not have any trouble.

Relying on these two points, Song Zhichao is preparing to use money to penetrate Microsoft and Apple, just like Masayoshi Son of SoftBank Group in his previous life who used money to invest and penetrate Alibaba, taking the lead in seizing the opportunity and drawing a big pie.

Bill didn't know this. He didn't have any eyes, and he wouldn't have the golden fingers of "prediction" like Song Zhichao. At this moment, he asked Song Zhichao with a smile: "Oh, by the way, dear Song, you just said that there are two things, so what is the second thing?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhichao raised his lips slightly, jingled, and gently knocked on the playing red wine glass with his fingers - the big belly glass made a pleasant sound.

"The second thing is actually very simple, I hope you can help you a favor tomorrow."

Bill: "…"

Song Zhichao: "A big deal!"
