Chapter 1980 Reminder
"As a sister, why don't you give in to your sister?" Feng Yiping teased Ma Ling on purpose, and also wanted to resolve the embarrassment caused by Annie's question.
Ma Ling's face suddenly changed, and she retracted her hand holding the cake, "Don't you want to eat the cake?"
"I do, I do," it seems that this Anne really makes Ma Ling, her sister, hate her very much, "Sister like this, giving in to her is spoiling her, Heidi's lesson to her is still too light, if conditions permit, she should be beaten up every day,"
"She should be moved to pray to God before meals and before going to bed every day to be a sister like you, and you dare to make you angry? What's the big deal about a broken heart, as if no one has ever been broken-hearted,"
"Hehehe," Ma Ling laughed so hard that she could hardly hold the cake in her hand, "You should say this again in front of her,"
Feng Yiping quickly took the cake from Ma Ling's hand, swallowed it in one bite, and wiped her face with his hand dipped in some cream, "I didn't expect that you are so narcissistic,"
"So sad, it turns out that what you said just now was not what you really thought," Ma Ling pretended to be sad, "Hey, listen, hehe, John seems to be scolding her over there, and he scolds her well!"
John also scolded Anne? Feng Yiping turned his head and listened, "I didn't listen..." He felt his face getting cold, Ma Ling had already run away laughing, and playfully pointed to Feng Yiping at the cream on her fingers.
This guy, using the feint to the east and attack to the west so skillfully, is worthy of being the fighting sister among the sisters who has been fighting with Annie for many years and has always won by a large margin.
"I want to ask, do you girls regard your sisters as competitors?"
"Competitors? No, you can use a word that you may have an impression of, class\enemy, or enemy\of\the\people,"
"Class enemy?" Feng Yiping smiled, worthy of graduating from Georgetown University, which is known as the "Politician's Paradise".
"Yes, since childhood, she has been competing with you for everything, snatching everything from you, and making you grit your teeth at least three times a day," Ma Ling, who was wiping cream on Feng Yiping's face, gritted her teeth when she said this.
So these girls just don't know how to be more generous.
"What did Annie do this time that made you grit your teeth?"
"She... is nothing, just what she used to do in such situations. Hey, let me ask you, have you considered Annie's suggestion?"
She didn't even give Feng Yiping the chance to ask Annie what she used to do in such situations.
"Don't tell me, I did know about it, but I gave up later."
Speaking of Mormonism, it is hard to describe. Its correct name should be the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
There are not many believers, but there are many sects, and not all of them support polygamy.
"Why?"
"It's those Mormon believers in Utah. Their actions are not permitted by local laws, right?"
In fact, so far, no state court in the United States has declared Mormon plural marriage legal.
However, as the calls for legal marriage of homosexual groups are getting louder and louder, this has also, to a certain extent, supported Mormon believers who have been fighting for legal recognition of their beliefs for many years.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Utah court will sooner or later recognize this as legal.
The main reason is that the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the most important bill of rights for the American people, prohibits the U.S. Congress from making any law to establish a state religion; hindering freedom of religious belief.
"Haha, it seems that you have really thought about it," Ma Ling laughed.
"Yes, even if they get the approval of the courts of some states, it is useless. First of all, I am not an American citizen and have no intention of becoming an American citizen,"
"Secondly, I learned about the Mormons, and they actually have a bad life,"
That is equivalent to a man having to support several families, generally at the level of three or four. If life can be easy, it would be strange!
"So I am afraid that after I join, they will force me to donate money,"
"Well, your concerns are right," Ma Ling also imagined it seriously.
"So, I think another group in the world that is rich and also practices polygamy, and it is legal, will be a better choice,"
"Oh, I understand, you are talking about those Middle Eastern men that many men envy, right," Ma Ling said immediately.
Feng Yiping looked at her in surprise, have you really thought about this possibility?
Ma Ling blushed a little, "Why are you looking at me like that? During college, the school's debate club once organized a debate on this issue,"
"Well, I believe there will be such a debate," Feng Yiping nodded solemnly.
Ma Ling was wiping the cream off his face, but behind her was the cake with a lot of cream. It can be said that whether there is no cream on her face or more cream is all in Ma Ling's mind.
"However, given that many people in Western society are hostile to the Middle East now and for a long period of time in the future, this is obviously not a good time for me to join their group,"
"Thank you for your hard work," Ma Ling kissed him on the face, and there was no trace of cream on his face.
…………
"John, I think I found a club you will definitely like," Feng Yiping told John a good news during dinner.
Old-school people like John spend all their leisure time in clubs, playing various sports, such as golf, tennis, horseback riding, etc., with the same group of members in clubs in Orlando or Palm Beach for decades.
Drinking the same whiskey and smoking the same cigars for decades.
Even wearing the same clothes and shoes that were made in the same clothing and shoe stores that they have been patronizing since their parents and grandparents.
Because the business has not expanded to the West, the thing he was most uncomfortable with when he came to Silicon Valley before was that he could not find the kind of club he liked to have fun in.
"Really, it can be said that it has the best golf course in Northern California. Because of the geographical location, it also has the best wines of all years produced in Napa Valley."
John took the business card handed over by Feng Yiping and was quite happy, "Really? Heidi, it seems that our trip tomorrow can be cancelled,"
Annie looked at Feng Yiping with interest, "Brother-in-law, are all Asian men as considerate as you?"
This could have been a compliment, but with Anne's flowing eyes, it completely changed into another meaning.
Ma Ling, who was serving the dishes, suddenly had more swords and shadows in her eyes, but Anne raised her neck towards her in protest.
Just when Ma Ling wanted to cover Vincent's eyes and give her a lesson, Feng Yiping laughed, "Haha, you should have an intuitive experience of this question. I think there must be many students from China on the Harvard campus now,"
If you want to say that in China, I don't know why, maybe it's easier to pronounce or what, Harvard University is the most famous American university in China, and it is also a university that many people want to study abroad.
With our expertise in exams, the number of Chinese students at Harvard has been growing over the years.
"Don't you usually interact with them?"
"No, brother-in-law, I never discriminate against my Chinese classmates,"
Anne immediately ignored everything else and quickly explained to Feng Yiping.
Racial discrimination is not a small problem in the United States, in any occasion.
John and Heidi also seemed relieved, "Come on, let's raise our glasses together to congratulate Feng on his successful acquisition of Marvel,"
Ma Ling took advantage of Feng Yiping clinking glasses with his parents and smiled in Anne's ear, "Pay attention, Ping is not my boyfriend, he is my son's father,"
"Why, are you scared?" Anne also smiled and said, "I now feel that men who are fathers like this are more mature, more charming, and more sexy,"
Ma Ling immediately wanted to pour the glass of wine on Anne's head.
…………
"Really not going to have one?" John paused the cigar on the cigar box and asked Feng Yiping again.
"Thank you, I'll just have this," Feng Yiping said, pointing to the plate of pistachios.
This was the exclusive time for the two men after dinner.
"It seems that you are very optimistic about the film and television industry?" John asked.
"It's mainly the content industry, which will be an important direction in the future. I think in a few years, the major Internet companies will have to compare the strength of self-made content. I'm just making arrangements in advance in this regard," Feng Yiping explained roughly.
"Netflix, it's really doing well. At least we can't live without it now, and many of our friends around us are the same as us," John said.
"Haha, I have to thank you for your support, but I personally still suggest that if you want to hold it for a long time, you should hold more Apple stocks," he added.
"It seems that you are really optimistic about Jobs," John looked at him, "I believe your judgment, but Apple is not good at all, it doesn't pay dividends,"
Yes, this is also a bit unkind of Apple. Not to mention now, even later, because of the success of a series of groundbreaking products, when they have huge cash in their hands, they still don't pay dividends.
"I believe that the extent of Apple's stock price increase in the future will make you forget their shortcomings,"
"Oh? Do you know what their plans are? No, just pretend I didn't ask this question,"
John took a deep puff of his cigar, "Feng, you are indeed a young man that Americans, including me and many others, I mean those of us who are still relatively capable, admire very much,"
"Thank you,"
"It can be seen that you are a young man with great ideals, and hope to make this society and the world a better place through your own efforts,"
"Thank you," but what exactly do you want to say?
"It's just that you know that sometimes, in order to make the world a better place, first of all, we may have to make some compromises in some aspects,"
"What I want to tell you is that at your current level, the relationship with politicians," John pointed out his main point.
"Of course, those politicians can be said to be none of them good,"
"I understand, but we must have a good relationship with them," Feng Yiping said.
"Yes, this is a compromise. I noticed that you hired Buchanan, who has a background in Capitol Hill, as the top person in charge of your US business. Obviously, you recognized this problem,"
"However, after your NEXTDOOR successfully opened up the situation, you seemed to have put no more effort in this area. That Buchanan also became the staff of the *** Senator from Illinois,"
"It should be said that he, or you, do have a good vision. It is really inspiring that *** can successfully run for the Senate. Behind this, you may also have some help, right, but after all, he is a senator. Being one of the most junior congressmen may not be able to provide you with much help on some issues,"
"So I think, in this regard, are you a little lax now? As your situation in the United States opens up, the relationship in this aspect should be strengthened rather than relaxed. You can also imagine that if some members of Congress Being encouraged by others can easily create big obstacles for you,"
You think *** is very inspiring, but you definitely don’t know how inspiring he will be in a few years, Feng Yiping said sincerely.
But now, can he say that *** will run for president next, and will he be elected successfully?
"John, thank you for the reminder. You are right. I should really strengthen my work in this area,"
In fact, he is already doing it, but in this regard, it is best for no one to say the best.
"Also, that Annie..."
"I understand, it's okay," Feng Yiping said hurriedly.
