Like Barry Diller, Reagan was also extremely surprised when he saw a copy of ABC's equity transfer agreement. However, compared to Barry Diller, Reagan was much calmer!
The first is because although Wang Wei's acquisition of ABC was helpful to Reagan's campaign for the next president, it did not have as big an impact on Barry Diller. After all, as long as you have money, you can still hire a TV station for yourself even if you don't have your own media organization. publicity! But having your own TV network is just a little more convenient.
Secondly, Reagan was a full thirty-one years older than Barry Diller, and he had already experienced ups and downs in life! He is used to sudden surprises, so his mental endurance is much stronger than Barry Diller!
So when he saw the copy of the equity transfer agreement, Reagan did not show much surprise!
And Reagan¡¯s arrival also brought a huge surprise to Wang Wei. After congratulating Wang Wei with a smile, Reagan slowly said: ¡°Mike, I also have something to tell you!¡±
"What's the matter, tell me!" Wang Wei couldn't help but said in surprise when he saw Reagan's expression suddenly turned serious and he said he had something to tell him.
"Congratulations, you have won the right to host the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics." Reagan took a sip of tea, then cleared his throat and said.
"Can you repeat that?"
"I said you have won the right to host the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics! Of course, I only conveyed it to you in advance through my channels, and the real decision will not be finalized until the Los Angeles Organizing Committee signs a contract with you in a few days!" Reagan said every word.
This time Wang Wei really heard it clearly, and he didn¡¯t expect that he would actually get the right to host the Los Angeles Olympics! This made Wang Wei feel like he was dreaming! From Reagan's suggestion to helping him get this spot, Wang Wei always felt that it would be difficult for him to get this opportunity! Even when Wang Wei gave millions of dollars in bribes to members of the preparatory committee who came to inspect him, Wang Wei still felt unsure!
Because after traveling to this era, Wang Wei truly understood how low the status of Chinese people in this era in the world was, among other things. Take myself as an example, if I change my identity to another country, whether it is the United States or the United Kingdom. With his current achievements in the American entertainment industry. He can definitely be called the number one person in the entertainment industry, but now he only has the useless title of a young genius! This is enough to see the status of the Chinese people in the world!
So regarding the matter of obtaining the right to host the Los Angeles Olympic Games. Wang Wei didn't have much confidence in his heart.
Who would have thought that the right to host the Los Angeles Olympics would actually fall to him, which always made Wang Wei feel unreal, so Wang Wei confirmed it again!
Look at the ecstatic expression on Wang Wei¡¯s face! Reagan and Peter Lynch, who was sitting next to Wang Wei, both expressed deep doubts!
Especially Peter Lynch, he almost couldn't help asking why Wang Wei was so happy! Fortunately, cultivation defeated curiosity in the end. Peter Lynch still resisted asking Wang Wei the reason.
And after Wang Wei was happy for a while, he realized that the expressions of the two of them were a little weird!
He couldn't help but wonder: "Peter, Ronald. What are your expressions! Aren't you happy for me?"
Peter Lynch on the other side was already full of doubts. After hearing Wang Wei's inquiry, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Boss, isn't this an Olympic Games that is destined to lose money? Is it really worth your excitement?"
"?Uh??Uh" This time it was Wang Wei's turn to be stunned
Looking at Wang Wei¡¯s puzzled expression. Peter Lynch continued: "In fact, no one is competing with us to host the Olympics this time! Because no one is willing to invest in a project that is destined to lose money!"
After speaking, Peter Lynch turned his face to Reagan! Under the gaze of Peter Lynch, Reagan coughed twice with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face and said: "Well, it's true as Peter said, because the previous Olympic Games have suffered too much, so no one is willing to take over Los Angeles this time. Olympic Games!"
In fact, after Reagan suggested that Wang Wei host the Olympic Games, he started to regret it. Because as a friend. Wang Wei was extremely benevolent to Reagan, and helped Reagan when he was at his lowest point! And he also promised to sponsor Reagan's campaign for the next president. So Reagan was full of gratitude to Wang Wei.
The reason why Wang Wei was suggested to host the Olympic Games. It was because he was temporarily hired by Wang Wei to become Wang Wei's think tank during the period after Reagan's election failure. During that time, Reagan discovered that Wang Wei's development in the United States was seriously hindered due to identity issues! Therefore, it was suggested that Wang Wei become an American citizen, but was rejected by Wang Wei.
In desperation, Reagan could only help Wang Wei find another way. It just so happened that Los AngelesIsland's bid for the Olympics was successful. This news gave the keen Reagan an idea! Reagan then used his contacts in the government to keep an eye on the news about the Los Angeles Olympics. As expected, the U.S. government refused to allocate funds to the Los Angeles government to host the Olympics because the previous Olympics had suffered too much. However, the Los Angeles government is unable to host an Olympic Games. In desperation, it can only set a precedent and hand over the hosting rights of the Olympic Games to private parties!
When Reagan got the news, he was very happy. Because if Wang Wei hosts the Los Angeles Olympics. Then Wang Wei will be branded in the minds of Los Angeles and even the entire American people! In this way, it can greatly dilute the distance that Wang Wei has created in the hearts of the American people because of his Chinese identity!
At that time, Reagan was only thinking about solving the problem of Wang Wei¡¯s identity, but neglected to invest in the Olympic Games. and business costs. Although Reagan was very proficient in economics, he was not a businessman after all. Therefore, his inertial thinking led to Reagan not realizing this problem at the first time. In addition, Wang Wei had almost no hesitation, and such a big investment appeared. Dragon' event. Of course this was Reagan's idea. Wang Wei didn't think so. So when Peter Lynch brought it up at this time, Reagan felt a little embarrassed!
"I'm sorry, Wang, it was my lack of consideration, but please don't worry. If I can successfully run for office, I will try my best to make up for your financial losses!" Reagan opened his mouth when he said this, but stopped talking. Because Reagan realized that his promises to Wang Wei at this time were all based on the success of the election, and whether the election would be successful was still unknown, so these promises he made were just empty words.
So Reagan shut up in mid-sentence!
Wang Wei on the other side finally understood the reason for the matter during the conversation between Reagan and Peter Lynch! It turned out that these two guys did not agree with the fact that they would host the Olympics. Even Reagan, who suggested that he host the Olympics, felt that his suggestion had brought great losses to Wang Wei!
Thinking of this, Wang Weiruo realized something!
No wonder the competition went so smoothly this time. It turned out that no one wanted to compete! It seems that my actions were regarded as a fool by these Americans!
At the thought of this, Wang Wei couldn't help but shook his head!
He thought to himself: "How could these Americans who are money-oriented and have no awareness of their motherland understand their patriotism? Not to mention that hosting the Olympics this time will definitely make a profit without losing any money. Even if they knew in advance that they would lose hundreds of millions, they would still not care. Do not hesitate to host this Olympics! Because this is the best opportunity to promote the Chinese people to the world! As a Chinese, Wang Wei knows that some things can be measured with money, and some things cannot be measured with money. Things that can never be replaced, such as the Chinese heart that will never change!¡±
Thinking of this, Wang Wei looked up at Reagan and said with a smile: "Ronald, my friend, please don't blame yourself. This is a decision I made. You are just a suggester, so whether I make money or lose money, I am the one responsible for it." , because our friendship cannot be measured by money.¡±
Wang Wei said it calmly, but Reagan on the side felt that his eyes were a little moist, because he was just a powerless little person now, but Wang Wei gave him a friendship worth hundreds of millions of dollars! How could you say this could not move Reagan?
Excited, Reagan held Wang Wei's hand tightly and spoke in Chinese with a strange accent: "Wang, it is my greatest honor in Reagan's life to meet a friend like you!"
¡°You¡¯re just saying this, aren¡¯t you?¡± Wang Wei replied with a smile, listening to Reagan¡¯s poor Chinese.
After finishing speaking, Wang Wei turned his head to one side and Peter Lynch, who still had some dissatisfaction on his face, said: "My dear Peter, please believe me, the Olympic Games that lose money in the hands of others will definitely turn into nothing in my hands." Set up a money printing press!¡±
