Chapter 680 Is it a sweet treat or a big deal?
Fang Chen chuckled lightly and immediately expressed his appreciation for Mikas' words.
But in his heart, Fang Chen couldn't believe a word of what Mikas said. Anyway, he definitely didn't think that Mikas came here specifically to apologize and thank him.
Both his reason and his so-called sixth sense told him that Mikas must have something else to do with him.
After all, Mikas started her modeling career at the age of sixteen, founded her own independent fashion brand in her twenties, and became the vice president of the Hilton Group at the age of thirty.
.
She even believed that her only disadvantage compared to the family's designated successor, Richard Hilton, her sixth brother, was that she had no descendants, otherwise it would be difficult to say who the successor of the Hilton Group would be.
Seeing the perfunctory fake smile on Fang Chen's face, Mikas couldn't help but look embarrassed. It seemed that there was nothing more embarrassing than the fact that she had just spoken impassionedly for a long time, but the audience sneered at it.
But in fact, she felt that what she just said was half sincere. If Fang Chen hadn't strongly requested to save the cat, if this matter was brought to the attention of animal protection organizations and reporters, it would definitely be a disaster to Hilton's reputation.
Great impact.
For this reason, she had already punished the lobby manager before she came.
The atmosphere in the air fell into silence again, and Fang Chen drank the tea in his cup leisurely, as if the embarrassing thing just now had not happened at all.
After a few breaths passed, Mikas gritted her teeth and said directly: "I came to visit Mr. Fang this time, but I actually have one more thing to do."
She really didn't want to continue talking to Fang Chen.
Fang Chen was as slippery as a loach, and she could never catch him. But more importantly, every word and every movement hit her heart, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Talking to Fang Chen was simply a torture, and she wanted to end this pain as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Fang Chen curled his lips slightly. If the atmosphere was so uncomfortable now, the only person to blame was Mikas herself.
Just say what you say when you have something to do, and insist on a lot of apology and thank you. It is simply duplicity.
He feels that Mikas, an American, speaks in more roundabout ways than he, a Chinese, or does it mean that the American elites are all this virtuous?
But to be honest, although he had been to the United States many times in his previous life, he really didn't have much actual contact with the so-called American elite.
Seeing Fang Chen indicating to her that it was okay, Mikas coughed, her expression suddenly became a little serious, and said: "Clinton, do you know William Jefferson Clinton?"
Although he knew that it was no small matter for the daughter of the Hilton family to come in person, Fang Chen really didn't expect that the word "Clinton" would come out of Mikas' mouth.
How could Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, not know this?
Clinton was the first Democratic president to be re-elected since Franklin Roosevelt. He unexpectedly defeated George H.W. Bush, whose reputation was at the height of his popularity due to the Gulf War.
Even though Clinton became the third president to be impeached by Congress while in office due to the Whitewater and Zippergate cases in more than 200 years of American history, 70% of the American people still chose to support Clinton.
The information highway strategy, the prototype of the Internet, was also implemented and promoted by Clinton.
It can be said that without Clinton’s implementation promotion, the Internet would never be what it will be in the future.
The importance of the Internet to modern society is almost undoubted and needs no elaboration.
During his tenure, Clinton created eight years of long-term economic prosperity in the United States and enabled the rapid development of the U.S. high-tech industry, establishing the United States as a high-tech power today.
Some people evaluate Clinton as the third greatest president of the United States, ranking only behind Lincoln and Washington.
Many people even miss the Clinton administration in 2018.
And when Hillary was running, a lot of people who voted for her actually voted for Clinton.
And what’s interesting is that during the campaign, Hillary Clinton made various explicit hints that if she became president, Clinton would take control of the economy.
This shows Clinton's status in the minds of Americans.
For a moment, Fang Chen was filled with surprise, and even subconsciously combed the cat's hair for the little fairy beside him.
The little fairy looked very useful, and her stomach made a rumbling sound.
After a few breaths, Fang Chen said to Mikas: "Mr. Governor Clinton, how could I not know, but?"
Fang Chen had a faint smile on his lips, and then stared at Mikas intently.
"Mr. Clinton heard that you came to the United States, and he wanted to invite you to a dinner party." Mikas swallowed nervously.
It’s time to eat again!
Fang Chen suddenly felt dumbfounded. He didn't even notice that he had become such a popular person. No matter where he went, someone wanted to treat him to a meal.
Moreover, the standard of the treat was getting higher and higher, and even Clinton wanted to treat him to dinner.
However, he was not surprised that Clinton knew about him. Knowing him was quite normal for a man who had served as governor for more than ten years and was now chairman of the National Conference of Governors.
But he was a little unsure. Why would Clinton invite him to dinner?
Fang Chen knocked on the table lightly and said slowly: "Thank you, Mr. Clinton, for the invitation, but it seems that Clinton and I have never met before, right?"
After hearing this, Mikas instantly realized that Fang Chen had misunderstood, and quickly said: "This is Mr. Clinton's campaign dinner."
Hearing this, the expression on Fang Chen's face suddenly solidified.
Embarrassing! It’s so embarrassing!
He just thought that Clinton's meal was a dinner specially held for him just like in Malaysia, but in fact, Clinton clearly wanted to cut his flesh!
The campaign dinner, as the name suggests, is a dinner arranged for Clinton to run for president. Naturally, inviting a wealthy businessman like him there has only one purpose, which is to make him spend money to support his campaign.
Now he really doesn't know whether he is a victim or a victim?
Seeing that Fang Chen was silent again, Mikas pondered for a moment and continued: "Mr. Clinton's situation is not very good. He needs the help of all peace-loving and free people in the world."
Fang Chen's expression instantly became a little weird. Is Mikas telling a joke?
As a president of a country that has spent 90% of its time fighting wars since the founding of the country, and the remaining 10% of its time planning conspiracies and provoking wars, is there anyone who loves peace and freedom?
It can be said that the United States is either at war or on the way to war.
However, what Mikas said did arouse his curiosity. As the next president of the United States, and someone who has received so many praises during his term of office, and who survived the zipper door incident safely, he really doesn't know what's going on with Clinton.
Not very good.
"Now in the entire United States, no one is optimistic about the competition between the Democratic Party and President Bush." Mikas said with some helplessness.
Bush's booming popularity after the war caused many Democratic heavyweights, including New York Governor Mario Guomo, to retreat.
Fang Chen nodded, he knew this.
During Bush Sr.'s term, he not only won the Gulf War, but also personally ended the life of the Soviet Union, America's biggest rival, turning the entire planet from a two-superpower-and-multiple-power structure to a one-superpower and multiple-power structure.
Since then, the United States has ascended to the throne of the world's number one and only superpower, laying the beginning for its subsequent domineering and arrogant behavior.
Under such circumstances, how could anyone think that they could win over George H.W. Bush? It is not surprising that he would protect his own skin and cherish his feathers.
However, he still doesn't understand what problems Clinton, a future winner, will encounter now.
"Although the non-candidacy of many major Democratic figures gave Mr. Clinton the opportunity to run, he lost to Massachusetts Senator Zongers in the first Democratic primary in New Hampshire."
When Mikas said the first half of the sentence, she obviously twitched her lips, obviously sniffing at the group of Democratic Party bosses who were cowering at the critical moment, but the second half of the sentence was full of helplessness and even a touch of sadness.
.
Fang Chen's fingers gently grasped the little fairy's hair, and he fell into thinking.
After what Mikas said just now, if he doesn't understand the key to these things, then he will be a fool.
Clinton was invited because now that he had lost the election, he urgently needed money from investors to replenish his blood and fight again.
He even felt that Clinton was now so panicked that he was starving for food, otherwise how could he, a Chinese, be able to keep an eye on him.
Of course, Clinton invited him this time because of his special status in China and Russia. Clinton wanted to win over him and lay a foundation for future governance. After all, there are only five gangsters, let alone China and Russia.
No matter how you look at it, Russia is better than the other two.
As someone who ranks among the top two and top three countries in the world with a special status, Fang Chen naturally has great win-win value.
In this way, not only was the money obtained, but preliminary personal contacts with China and Russia were also established. This was really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.
To be able to come up with such an arrangement, Clinton is truly worthy of the rumored IQ of 182.
But for some reason, Fang Chen felt like laughing in his heart right now.
To be honest, if Mikas hadn't said anything, he really wouldn't have known that Clinton, known as the third greatest president of the United States, actually knelt down in the first race, and the first race within the party!
