Chapter 317: Pig nose with green onions

The f430 convertible is indeed a good car, comfortable to operate and strong horsepower. Turn on the navigation, Zhou Liwen walked southeast along the highway, and arrived at Chambers's manor in California in the afternoon.

"Very good car!" He drove into the gate and drove along the path to the front of the house. Chambers stood there with a smile to welcome Zhou Liwen, and praised him when he saw his new car.

"Thank you for your praise, why? Are you interested in driving up and driving around?" Zhou Liwen smiled and opened the door and got out of the car, quipping.

Chambers shook his head happily: "It's not possible today. As the host, I can't drive the guest's car and disappear, right? If you don't mind, you can lend me this car. Maybe that day I drove you, my baby, to the nightclub for a walk. I think there must be many beautiful girls who want to get in the car and go for a ride together."

"Haha, that's fine!" Chambers's words made Zhou Liwen laugh. This old guy who was almost 60 years old would even make such jokes.

This Chambers estate is actually a small farm, not far from Silicon Valley, which is much simpler than the place where Zhou Liwen and Chambers went on vacation before. However, it is convenient and close to Silicon Valley. Sometimes Chambers will come here with his wife and children for weekends, riding horses and fishing.

Today, of course, his family did not come together. In addition to Chambers, the only one who hosted Zhou Liwen was the servants of the manor and two cowboys who worked permanently.

"What to drink?"

Chambers asked enthusiastically as he greeted Zhou Liwen into the house.

"Coffee bar."

Chambers went to the coffee machine and brought it over, sat down with Zhou Liwen on the sofa, and then started chatting.

Let’s talk about the release of smartphones first. Tomorrow is the day to be officially launched. Although they discussed this issue on the phone yesterday, they still talked about it after meeting.

In fact, all the preparations should be made have been made. What is needed now is to wait for the results. Zhou Liwen is still full of confidence. He firmly believes that the success of his mobile phone is inevitable. Although Chambers is optimistic about this product, he always feels strange that Zhou Liwen has such strong confidence. After asking, Zhou Liwen just smiled and said it was a feeling, and he said something. His feelings have always been very accurate, and this time will not be an exception.

"Zhou, you are an American now. Are you ready to take the team?"

After chatting about his phone, Chambers suddenly asked a serious question. Zhou Liwen was slightly stunned and looked at him with some difficulty understanding.

"Party!" Chambers reminded, explaining to Zhou Liwen that most Americans will choose a party to join to express their political stance. The US government takes turns to correct the situation, that is, the two major parties, Republican and Democratic Party. Often ordinary American families have the tradition of one of the factions. Of course, some fathers are Republicans, but their children tend to be Democratic, but these are a minority after all.

"Is there no non-partisan in the United States?" Although Zhou Liwen knew about this situation a little, she was still a little strange about Chambers' reminder and couldn't help asking.

"There are, but not many, and these people are usually people with no status." Chambers explained: "You got a green card at the beginning, but now you are different. You are already an American and a successful businessman. People like you with status, even if you don't have the idea of ​​joining the party, there will naturally be people from both parties who come to you to invite you to join. Moreover, choosing one party to join is a good choice for business or better integration into the American society."

"It was the same when the Immigration Bureau took the initiative to find me and invited me to immigrate?" Zhou Liwen asked thoughtfully.

Chambers nodded with a smile.

Looking at Chambers, Zhou Liwen smiled and said, "I said John, you just said that even if people like me don't have the idea of ​​joining the party, there will naturally be some people from both parties who come to me and invite me to join? So, is the purpose of your words to me today?"

As soon as Zhou Liwen finished speaking, Chambers laughed: "You guessed it right! I did have this purpose. Now, when you are not known to the outside world, it is also a little selfishness of my old friend."

"I don't care. Since you say it's good to join a political party, then add it." Zhou Liwen nodded and then asked curiously: "By the way, John, what party do you belong to?"

"Of course it's the Republican Party!" Chambers replied proudly.

"Now President Bush is also from the Republican Party, right?" Zhou Liwen thought for a while.

"That's right! I didn't expect you to know it very well."

"Haha, you have been to China. Don't forget that China also has news and the Internet. If you listen to it more and watch it, it will naturally be familiar." Zhou Liwen joked: "I said to John, if I join your Republican Party, can I go to the White House, have a meal and golf with Bush Jr., or something? If there is this benefit, I don't mind standing on the Republican side."

"What? Do you want to see Bush Jr.?" Chambers was a little surprised. He frowned and thought for a while. Just when Zhou Liwen thought that his demands were too high and wanted to tell him that he was joking, Chambers said: "It's not interesting to go to the White House, but I know Bush Jr. will be on vacation at Camp David next month. If you don't object, how many days will you stay together?"

Zhou Liwen was stunned by what he said. Chambers said that he would go out together when he was on vacation. How many days would he stay? Is it true? Zhou Liwen was a little suspicious of Chambers' bragging, but seeing that his serious expression didn't look like, he couldn't help but ask a few questions.

It was not until Chambers explained to him that Zhou Liwen realized that Zhou Liwen has always used the ideas of domestic officialdom to build American politics. In fact, American politics is completely different from China. Although the US president has a high status, he is supported by parties and consortiums. To put it bluntly, President Bush Jr. is just a spokesperson launched by parties and consortiums. As the main supporter of the Republican Party, Chambers and Bush Sr. were originally friends, not to mention Bush Jr., not to mention, when he was not president, Bush Jr. was his regular visitor and often visited. Zhou Liwen didn't know that by 2008, Chambers even served as the main campaign adviser for Republican presidential candidate McCain.

From this level, it is not difficult for Chambers to take Zhou Liwen to meet Bush Jr., and it is even more convenient to have a vacation together, just arrange it in advance.

Chambers made up his mind to win over Zhou Liwen. Since working with Cisco, Chambers has spent a lot of effort to study him, especially Zhou Liwen's vision and ability in the mobile phone industry, which made Chambers feel even more moved.

Not to mention Zhou Liwen's other industries, just his Orz company has become one of the large mobile phone manufacturers in just two years. Orz's first generation smartphone will be launched tomorrow. As one of the main collaborators of this product, Chambers is even more amazed by Zhou Liwen's fantasy ideas in mobile phone design and development.

Chambers has already had the answer to whether the new touch screen smartphone can achieve market success. He is as optimistic as Zhou Liwen, and he also firmly believes that when this phone is released, it will inevitably cause a sensation and pursuit in the market again.

What's more, the development of smartphones is not only about hardware updates, but also software. Cisco is responsible for the design of mobile phone systems. The second-generation smartphone system is not only much more powerful than the first generation, but also has a mobile phone system store. As a giant in the IT industry, Chambers's vision is much stronger than that of ordinary people. When Zhou Liwen proposed to him to build a mobile phone system store platform, he immediately reacted that where is the real power of future smartphones? This unique open mobile phone system store platform is the basis for Zhou Liwen's Orz mobile phone to be invincible in the future.

If there is no accident, Zhou Liwen becomes a celebrity in the mobile phone and IT industry just around the corner, and this time will not be too long. Perhaps it will cause a sensation after tomorrow's smartphone release, and Orz mobile phones will truly enter the ranks of first-class companies. Chambers is about to see a new star rising.

If Zhou Liwen did not hold his American passport, then Chambers might never have asked for this invitation, but now Zhou Liwen has changed his identity. Of course, Chambers, the main supporter of the Republican Party, will not miss this good opportunity to bring Zhou Liwen into the camp. If Zhou Liwen joins, only with his popularity and influence of Orz mobile phone company will be of great help to the Republican Party. As long as this goal is achieved, everything else will be easy to discuss. As for having a meal with Bush Jr. to fight Gole, or vacation, it is simply a trivial matter for the interests of the entire party.

After understanding the situation, Zhou Liwen was astonished, and at the same time he had his own thoughts. He formally agreed to Chambers' invitation to join the Republican Party, and asked Chambers to arrange for him to meet Bush Jr., which would be better if he could have a vacation together. Although Chambers felt a little strange about Zhou Liwen's request, he didn't think much elsewhere, and only thought it was Zhou Liwen's curiosity about Bush Jr. However, as the main supporter of the Republican Party, it was enough that Chambers could bring Zhou Liwen into the camp.

However, Zhou Liwen was a little happy after receiving Chambers' promise, and even considered whether to show off after seeing Bush Jr. When she saw Bush, she would show off. These things were not for herself, and might be useful when she returned to China. Americans are not popular with this, but they still enjoy this in China. I haven't seen some entrepreneurs with status, especially private entrepreneurs who like to put a few huge photos with a leader in his office? Even if he is in the corner of the photo, as long as he shows up in this photo, it is a huge capital to show off.
