When the man in the trench coat said that the follower behind him was the senator, Li Mu was stunned.
Didn’t he say that the senator wanted to see him? Why did the senator become a lackey? So who is this person in front of him who makes the senator obedient and respectful
Perhaps seeing Li Mu's surprise, the man in the trench coat looked at Li Mu with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Li Mu, please introduce yourself. My name is Paul Keane."
Paul Keane
Li Mu frowned. He had never heard of this name before, and there was no impression related to it in his memory.
At this time, Paul Keane said again: "Mr. Li may not know the Keane family very well. We don't have much involvement in the Internet industry. Most of the industries are physical industries."
As soon as the other party mentioned the Keen family, Li Mu immediately thought of the other party's origin.
The president of the Harvard Student Union who Dong Ai mentioned has been trying to control the 3321 American Station is James Keane, a descendant of the Keane family.
Li Mu has never met James Keane, but since he is a graduate student, he is only 23 or 24 years old, and Paul Keane looks about 50 years old, so he may be James Keane's father.
Li Mu secretly murmured in his heart: He put pressure on Lawrence to kick James Keane out of the 3321 project. Now Paul Keane suddenly came to him with the Senator. Could it be that he was doing it for James Keane? matter
Although he was murmuring in his heart, Li Mu still said to Paul Keane very politely: "Hello Mr. Keane."
After saying hello, Li Mu stretched out his hand to gesture at the cabin environment around him, and then asked: "I wonder if Mr. Keen is here to see me. What advice can you give me?"
Paul Keane smiled slightly, pointed to the seat in front of Li Mu, and asked, "Can you sit down and chat?"
In the cabin of Li Mu's business jet, in addition to eleven first-class seats, there is also a small conference table. The conference table adopts a two plus two seat layout. Li Mu himself sits in front of the conference table for convenience. Use your computer or read a book.
Seeing that Paul Keane was well prepared, Li Mu wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling. He could have a senator following him as his little brother. It seemed that his political strength and status were indeed impressive.
So, Li Mu made a gesture of invitation to Paul Keane and said, "Since Mr. Keane wants to chat, please sit down and chat slowly."
The reason why Paul Keane brought the senator here was actually to show Li Mu his political strength. He knew that Li Mu was worth a lot, but he also knew that Li Mu had no political foundation in the United States. In his opinion, politics Relationships must be the top priority for Li Mu's future development in the United States, so he should show his strength in the political field first to facilitate subsequent negotiations.
Seeing Li Mu inviting him to sit down and chat, Paul Keane smiled faintly, sat opposite Li Mu, and said with a smile: "Actually, the reason I took the liberty to interrupt this time is mainly for a small project in Mr. Li's hands."
Li Mu smiled slightly, knowing very well that Paul Keane came here just for 3321. However, he did not point it out yet, but said, "Mr. Keane has something to say."
Paul Keane nodded and said: "To be honest, James Keane, the president of the Harvard Student Union, is my son. I would like to ask Mr. Li for help to let Quanzi play a role in the 3321 American station project. In return, the Kean family will share the special resources we have cultivated in the United States for more than a century with Mr. Li, so that we can benefit from each other and develop together in the future."
As he spoke, Paul Keane pointed to the respectful senator behind him and added: "If we can reach cooperation, Mr. Duncan will apply for a large number of government subsidies from the Massachusetts government for the 3321 American Station project, and even provide This mobilizes various resources of the state government to accelerate the development of the 3321 American Station."
Li Mu looked at Paul Keane and smiled lightly: "Mr. Keane, money has never been a problem for 3321. I have enough funds to ensure that the 3321 US station is on the right track, and 3321 itself is a non-profit project. , all profits will be used to support poor students. Instead of asking Mr. Duncan to obtain government subsidies for 3321, it would be more direct to ask the state government to donate the subsidy money to poor students."
Paul Keane understood the meaning behind Li Mu's words. He had no interest in the government subsidies he mentioned. This was a subtle rejection of himself.
However, there is nothing wrong with what Li Mu said. 3321 itself is a public welfare project. Generally speaking, it is very rare for rich people to be willing to do public welfare projects. Who else would use all kinds of extra human resources to do public welfare projects? Paul Keane used this to discuss cooperation with Li Mu, which was not attractive at all to Li Mu.
However, Paul Keane was not discouraged at all. He continued: "3321 is just a small thing I used as an example. The Keane family has been working in the United States for so many years and has become pervasive in the entire American society. Mr. Li's Makino Technology will definitely have many important layouts in the United States in the future, and with the help of the Keen family, we can definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Li Mu smiled and asked Paul Keen: "Mr. Keen, let's put aside what kind of help the Keen family can bring to me. You might as well talk about your specific demands first!"
Paul Keane said: "My core demand is that my son James Keane be responsible for the specific work of the 3321 US station, whether it is external announcement or actual implementation, he should be the general person in charge of the 3321 US station. As long as you can help us implement this and make the 3321 US station go online smoothly, the Keen family will definitely give you double compensation in other conveniences!"
After saying that, Paul Keane reminded: "If you want to make a company bigger in the United States, government relations are a very important resource. Mr. Li, you have a big deficiency in this aspect, although you can't see anything substantial right now." However, as Makino Technology continues to develop in the United States, the negative effects of this deficiency will inevitably show up step by step, and become more and more obvious. If there is the Keen family as a partner, these problems can be easily solved. .”
Li Mu smiled playfully, looked at Paul Keane and said: "Mr. Keane, if I remember correctly, your son has been expelled from the 3321 team. I don't need to tell you about many of his actions during this period. Not only is he not suitable to be the general manager of the 3321 US station, he is not even suitable to be a member of the 3321 team, so I’m sorry, but I can’t agree to your proposal!”
