Chapter 3666 The Most Successful President in History
"Hey, I really don't know what kind of wind brought you three here. レm♦思♦路♦客レ" Lin Feng sighed.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, please come to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. I think you should be very clear about our purpose. We are also entrusted by others!" The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
These three are no one else, but extremely important figures in California and the United States.
The first one was none other than Terry, the director of Lin Feng's own "Houston Television Station". Lin Feng hadn't seen this person for a long time. Special accounting personnel were responsible for checking the annual financial statements, and Lin Feng generally did not interfere. I didn't expect him to come. Of course, to say that he is a heavyweight is not a big deal for Lin Feng. After all, he is Lin Feng's subordinate. But Terry is now considered a heavyweight in the American television industry.
With the filming of dramas such as "Prison Break" and "Heroes", as well as the outstanding performance of the "Houston Rockets", "Houston TV" has also grown from a local TV station to a national TV station. As the station director, Terry, His status in the American television industry has naturally increased. ..
The second place is California Governor Schwarzenegger. Lin Feng was a little surprised by his arrival. This, who does he represent? As the governor of California, who do you want to intercede for?
Of course, compared to these two, the third one is even more important. Lin Feng really didn't expect him to come. This was a long time ago, and Lin Feng often watched him on TV. I just never had the chance to meet him face to face. And this man is William Jefferson Clinton, the youngest president in the history of the United States.
William Jefferson Clinton. Same as former US President Lincoln. They are all lawyers. He served as the governor of Arkansas and the 42nd President of the United States. during his term of office. It was the fastest-growing period of peacetime in American history. In the 2005 poll "The Greatest American" held by America Online, Clinton was voted the seventh greatest person in the United States. He has a wide range of hobbies and is especially good at playing the saxophone. He once served as the chief saxophone player of the Arkansas Wind Band.
Of course, another thing that made Clinton famous around the world was the "Lewinsky xìng scandal" that once caused a lot of controversy. However, even after such a huge sexual scandal, Clinton was not impeached and stepped down, and still succeeded. This is also the first time in the history of American presidents. This can only be said. Clinton's economic policies have made the American people not want him to step down.
And this, the former President of the United States, stood on his side like this, which really surprised Lin Feng.
"Mr. Clinton, what a surprise. I didn't expect you to come." Lin Feng sighed.
"Mr. Lin,
This time I was asked to do something for you, so I had to come. I just didn’t expect that there would be so many people competing. It seems that my goal today may not be easily achieved. "Clinton said with a smile.
"Haha. Sit down. You three! Nina, help pour three cups of coffee!" Lin Feng ordered.
Not long after. Three cups of coffee were delivered. After some pleasantries, the atmosphere relaxed. There was no tension like before. Among the three, Terry is the one who has the least psychological pressure. Whether he succeeds or fails here, it has nothing to do with his ability. It all depends on Lin Feng's personal mood. But Schwarzenegger and Clinton are different. Schwarzenegger is the governor of California, but Clinton is the former president of the United States. This time they came to act as lobbyists for the TV stations behind them. This failed, and it was a bit embarrassing. .
"Haha, okay, Schwarzenegger, and Mr. Clinton, let's talk first, which TV station do you represent?" Lin Fengxiao asked.
"Lin, I'm not polite. I'm here on behalf of 'Columbia Samsung' this time. I know there may be some friction between you and 'Columbia Samsung', but I owed this company a favor, so today I It's purely to repay a favor. If you look out for me and appear on the Columbia TV talk show owned by Columbia Samsung, it doesn't matter if you don't agree. We can talk about other things," Schwarzenegger said with a smile. .
This time, one of the things I wanted to do was invite Lin Feng to appear on the talk show. The other thing was about the economic development of California. I wanted to consult with Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and did not express any opinion, but looked at Clinton.
"Lin, I am here on behalf of (National Radio and Television). They have a talk show that they hope you can attend. As Governor Schwarzenegger said, if you are willing to appear, I am very grateful. If you are not willing to appear, I will never Care. This is your right to choose." Clinton said with a smile. Although he owes someone a favor, it does not mean that he must complete other people's tasks. The final decision on all this lies in Lin Feng's hands. He came here just to do his best and obey fate.
"Three of you, I've always been very direct. I hate hypocrisy, and I don't think there's any need for hypocrisy between us. I don't think I'm a 'hot potato' now, so I should wait for the price, and I should deliberately scorn you. To be honest, I hate this. I feel that when I make a decision, I should inform people as soon as possible and not to scare people and waste everyone's time. As for this interview, if I participate, it will really improve my reputation. influence. But I don’t plan to do that. So, I won’t participate in any talk shows. I am a businessman, not an actor.”
Terry frowned slightly. He could only accept Lin Feng's decision helplessly. He came here to ask for instructions today. Since Lin Feng had made a decision, he could only accept it and could not make any protest. Schwarzenegger and Clinton looked at each other in surprise and then applauded.
"Mr. Lin, you are so young, but you have such a strong willpower. You know what you want and what you should do. It is really admirable. You are so young, but you have such determination. I admire you!" Clinton applauded.
Lin Feng laughed.
"Mr. Clinton, you are too kind. I am not as good as you said. It's just that I really hate running around recently. I hate being in the spotlight. I want to be low-key, low-key." Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Low-key, Lin, can you be low-key! You have never been low-key since you arrived in the United States!" Schwarzenegger said jokingly.
The three of them laughed out loud.
Terry saw the three of them talking and laughing, but he had nothing to say. He suddenly realized that although he was famous and powerful in the American television circle, he was still far behind these three people. At that moment, he did not stay any longer, and said goodbye to Lin Feng and left.
"Lin, it's strange, why don't you go to your own TV station? Although 'Houston TV' has become a national TV station in the United States and has a great reputation, it is still far behind those old TV stations. If you appear in your own talk show, it should be able to enhance your influence." Clinton said strangely.
"Haha, forget it, if my TV station wants to truly compete with those old TV stations, it does not rely on me, but should rely on more outstanding and excellent programs. This is important, and if it only relies on me, then even if it is lucky enough to be famous now, it will eventually be just a follower behind those old TV stations." Lin Feng said lightly.
Clinton nodded. Lin Feng's words are really right. A real ace TV station relies on its foundation, not a momentary fluke.
Then, the situation suddenly became silent. Schwarzenegger had something to say to Lin Feng, but Clinton was not suitable to talk here. Clinton actually wanted to communicate with Lin Feng, but he was afraid that since it was their first meeting, they were not too familiar with each other, and some things might not be appropriate for him to say. The two should have more contact and wait until they were close. With each of them having their own thoughts, they became depressed.
Lin Feng, however, was thinking that Clinton's sudden visit was an opportunity. He should make reasonable use of it and not let it go. He was the former president of the United States and one of the most successful presidents in American history. He was in power for eight years, and his overall view, world view, and vision of the world economy and world trends were the most scarce resources for himself and the think tank he was currently building.
Suddenly, Clinton stood up.
"Mr. Lin, it's a bit abrupt to visit you today. I'll leave today and visit you again another day." Clinton said and stood up to say goodbye.
Lin Feng was startled and quickly grabbed Clinton.
"Mr. Clinton, please stay. I do have an idea, which is quite presumptuous, but I am a very direct person and hate excessive hypocrisy. It's like this. I heard that Mr. Clinton's speeches in the past few years were packed. Last year, his speech fee exceeded 8 million US dollars! I want to use Mr. Clinton as my exclusive trainer to give speeches to my think tanks and company employees. I wonder if Mr. Clinton is interested?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Trainer?" Clinton was stunned.
"Of course, an annual salary of 15 million US dollars! And Mr. Clinton has the freedom to speak and has the right to decide the content of your speech. And only 24 speeches a year." Lin Feng continued to offer conditions.
Last year, Clinton gave more than 40 speeches throughout the year, nearly twice as many speeches as Lin Feng offered, but the money he earned was half less, which made Clinton's heart beat. When he left office, he owed millions of dollars in debt because of the Lewinsky lawsuit. Now he has repaid all his debts through speeches and has accumulated tens of millions of dollars in wealth. This is rich, but it does not mean that Clinton does not want to make more money. He is no longer the President of the United States. He has the right to make more and more money.
Clinton was a little entangled in just working for Lin Feng. After all, the relationship between Lin Feng and President Bush was not so friendly. (To be continued...)
