If the male protagonist in the American drama "House of Cards" is compared to a university professor, then Schwarzenegger's political wisdom can barely reach the level of middle school students in front of him.

Li Mu discovered that although Schwarzenegger was elected governor, it can still be seen from this interview that his seven souls and six spirits are still in the entertainment industry.

Celebrities in the entertainment industry are too good at exposing and too keen on exposing, so they always release satellites. No matter whether they are reliable or not, the success rate is, throw them out first and attract a wave of attention. In this, a teacher who has played Sun Wukong is well aware of this. China and the United States have been shooting together for more than ten years. It doesn’t matter whether they are shooting or not. The satellites must be released.

However, a truly wise politician will not blindly pursue the release of satellites. He will judge the situation based on the actual situation. Those who need to release early will never delay; those who need to release late will never be anxious.

In Li Mu's opinion, Schwarzenegger should not have been exposed to his inauguration ceremony by giving him face to attend his inauguration ceremony.

First of all, Schwarzenegger's impatient exposure now really made Li Mu feel a little uncomfortable because he felt that he had become a capital for Schwarzenegger to brag about and raise his value in front of the media. Schwarzenegger's move was equivalent to adding a gap between the two's relationship;

Secondly, in Li Mu's opinion, even if he is a heavyweight guest, Schwarzenegger should not have exposed it in advance at this time. Exposure in advance only increases some expectations, but only by covering up secrets can everyone be stunned at critical moments. The latter is obviously more impactful than the former.

This is like the first atomic bomb in China that year, after the explosion, it took the initiative to announce it to the world, which brought great shock to the West. On the contrary, if you shouted everywhere in advance to prepare to test the nuclear bomb, not to mention how big the shock could be, it would cause so much trouble in the middle, I am afraid that I would never dare to think about it.

Li Mu saw this issue relatively thoroughly. If Schwarzenegger could bring certain benefits to himself, the superficial relationship would still continue to be stable. After all, he would have to be in power in California for eight years; if the interests were not met, he would gradually become alienated and slowly cut off contact.

On the night after Schwarzenegger was elected, Hollywood actors and staff such as Spielberg and Anne Hathaway left China on an Air China Boeing 747, while Li Mu was preparing to set off from China two days before Schwarzenegger's inauguration ceremony.

The Gulfstream g550 that Chen Ze helped Li Mu buy has already been bought. Li Mu bought it to meet the needs of traveling to and from the United States and Europe. This time he can drive it out for a walk.

Because Schwarzenegger leaked Li Mu's itinerary in advance, Li Mu had been receiving consultations from various media in the past few days before he went to the United States, and many American media even wanted to take the opportunity to invite Li Mu for face-to-face interviews. Li Mu asked Li Ziwei to let go, but unexpectedly, Time magazine actually sent an invitation to Li Mu. Their editor-in-chief said that he hoped Li Mu could become the cover character of the next issue of Time magazine and give an exclusive interview to Li Mu.

Li Ziwei excitedly conveyed the news to Li Mu and said happily: "Mr. Li, no one of us Chinese Internet entrepreneurs 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?"

Li Ziwei blurted out: "American version."

Li Mu remembers that Boss Li from Baidu has appeared on the cover of Time magazine, but it seems to be the Asian version.

"Time" has a very big influence. Being invited to be a cover character is indeed a precious honor for Li Mu, but he is not very interested in it.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Li Mu is now famous to the extreme, so there is no need to take a copy of Time magazine too seriously, so Li Mu said to Li Ziwei: "My itinerary to the United States this time is already arranged, and I don't have time to accompany them to interview. If they want to use me as the cover, I can authorize them the photo of my parents on my third birthday. As for the interview, forget it. What they want to write, let them play freely."

Li Ziwei said in surprise: "Mr. Li, this is Times! You can't treat it so hasty. Many people dream of being on the cover of Times. This is a good opportunity for you and a great honor!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Are you stupid? In terms of information delivery ability, Time Magazine can compare with us? Whoever borrows who can promote it may be possible."

After saying that, Li Mu said again: "Okay, don't take Time Magazine too seriously. If they think I have enough weight to be on their cover, let them write what they write on their own. I don't care. But I won't take time to cooperate with them in an interview. We don't need a Time Magazine to raise our value."

Li Ziwei stuck out her tongue and said, "Then you might as well pick a photo of you who are more handsome. For example, when you were giving a speech at Harvard, I saw that there were many snapshots that were very good."

Li Mu waved his hand and smiled, "Everyone chooses the cover of the photo that they are most satisfied with, and I am the same. What I am most satisfied with is not one of my own captures, or the birthday photos I took with my parents when I was three years old."

As he said that, Li Mu picked up his wallet from his desk and took out an old yellow photo from it. The photo was taken at the old photo studio. Li Mu wore a small sweater knitted by his mother and held a bouquet of plastic flowers provided by the photo studio. His parents squatted beside him, and the two of them held his waist and back from the left and right. Although the background was a mural of Tiananmen Square, it looked very fake, but the three of them all smiled naturally and happily, so they could not be real anymore.

The upper right corner of the photo also uses small words "Li Mu's third birthday to commemorate", and the gold-toned strokes are already a bit natural and mottled.

Li Mu handed the photo to Li Ziwei and said, "Look, this photo is so memorable. With me, my parents, and our landmark building in China, Tiananmen. If you look closely, you can see the flying five-star red flag."

Li Ziwei stared at the photo for a long time and sighed sincerely: "Godfather and godmother were really handsome when she was young."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Everyone is good at appearance."

Li Ziwei nodded, then thought of something and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, go to the American version of Time magazine. Is your photo a little too strong in the local style?"

Li Mu smiled indifferently: "In their eyes, besides being rich, what interests them is the exotic style of me as a Chinese? If I wear a suit and a tie, wouldn't the exotic style be greatly reduced?"

Li Ziwei smiled pursed her lips, and saw that Li Mu was very persistent, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll reply to them first and see how they think about it."

Li Mu instructed: "By the way, tell them, it doesn't matter how much the content is written, but one thing must be eliminated."

"You said, I will convey it to them."

Li Mu said: "Don't say that I am favored by God or blessed by God, tell them that I am a firm atheist."

...

Felix, editor-in-chief of Time magazine, was somewhat dissatisfied with Time Warner, the parent company of Time magazine, that is, let Li Mu appear on the cover of the American version of Time magazine.

In Felix's opinion, Li Mu is indeed a very powerful person, but this guy is a white supreme racist at heart and has strong prejudice against Chinese and even yellow people.

He never thought of letting Li Mu appear on the cover of the American version of Time magazine, which he was responsible for, but unexpectedly, the senior executives of Time Warner called directly and asked him to position Li Mu as the cover character for the next issue.

While protesting, Felix raised a hot pot to the editorial department of Times Asian Edition in Hong Kong. In his opinion, Li Mu is an Asian anyway, so it is natural to go to the cover of the Asian Edition.

However, the senior executives of Time Warner did not give him any chance to refute. Instead, they gave him a death order, requiring that Li Mu be arranged in the next issue.

Felix realized that the senior management had a strong intention, so he sent someone to send an email to Li Mu's assistant, Li Ziwei, and contact him.

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

In Felix's view, so far, no Chinese entrepreneur has been able to appear on the cover of Times. Japan, which is not far from China, is only an entrepreneur who has accumulated fame in the West for many years. Li Mu is expected to become the number one entrepreneur among Chinese entrepreneurs, which must have a laugh in his dream.

Just as he was thinking about this, his assistant came over to report and said: "Mr. Felix, Li Mu's personal assistant just called me. She said Li Mu could be on our cover, but there are a few requirements."

Felix snorted coldly and said, "Let him on the cover, does he have any requests?"

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 stinky shit!" Felix sneered: "So far, I haven't heard of any adult who can use childhood photos to Time magazine."

The assistant said helplessly: "Also, Li Mu said he would not accept any interviews, so if we want to write about him, we can only support ourselves."

"Not to accept visits?! The shelves are so big!"

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, there is no problem."
