Not long after Gao Xian came to the United States this time, a major event that caused a sensation in international public opinion occurred.
Four officials of the American table tennis association, nine athletes and a small group of American journalists arrived in the Chinese capital through Xiangjiang. Since then, the isolation of personnel exchanges between China and the United States for more than 20 years has ended, which has been called "table tennis diplomacy" by the media.
In terms of the degree of sensation, it is no exaggeration to describe "ping pong diplomacy" as attracting worldwide attention. Gao Xian witnessed the competing reports of major mainstream media in the United States.
If you think about it a little, you will understand that the current phenomenon is actually very normal. After all, these are the two "poles" of the world, an unexpected and historic contact.
I don't know if it's related to the sudden warming of the Chinese theme. Gao Xian, who originally planned to leave Peanut Stew and deal with business affairs the next day, was unexpectedly invited by Nixon to stay for two more days.
During these two days, Gao Xian enjoyed dinner in the white house one after another, and then walked with Nick for 15 minutes.
In this regard, let alone the media staring at the White House, even the White House staff were very puzzled.
With this intimacy, the outside world would have suspected that Gao Xian was Nixon's son-in-law if he had not known who the bridegroom was at the White House wedding.
At the regular White House press conference, spokesman Ronald Zegler gave the answer that the president and Gao were just gossip between friends.
For this simple and capricious explanation, the media really can't help it.
You know, Nixon was a big man in American politics. His career was like hanging up. The first step into politics was the California federal congressman, then the California senator, and then the vice president in the Eisenhower era.
If Kennedy had not skillfully introduced television debate into the American general election, won the favor of female voters with his carefully packaged appearance, caught Nixon unprepared and won by a narrow margin, Nixon would have long been president of the United States and stayed at home to write his memoirs.
Therefore, when Nixon put on the posture of "chatting with friends, you should gossip", the reporters stopped pestering this small problem.
Gao Xian, who lives in a hotel in the Watergate building, also escaped most of the media harassment.
Turning around, Gao Xiangang was about to go out. When he said goodbye to Chen Xiangmei, he didn't expect two uninvited guests in suits and shoes, "Gao, our boss wants to see you. Please come with us."
Upon hearing this, Gao Xian couldn't help but rejoice on the spot.
He said, "NIMA, this is Peanut Stew, the Zhengzhi center of the United States; Watergate building is home to many Zhengzhi elites with Peanut Stew, only a few blocks away from the White House. As a result, you suddenly ran over and talked to me in a gang tone. It's too funny."
When he stopped smiling, Gao Xian asked curiously, "who is your boss? Do I know him?"
"Go, you'll know." the other party replied impolitely.
Gao Xian shook his head and said faintly, "my schedule is very tight, so I have no spare time to talk about strange topics with strangers in strange places."
The two guys looked at each other, and then the tall man said, "wait, I'll report to the boss."
Gao Xian nodded and picked up today's Wall Street Journal. "I'll give you up to ten minutes to stay here."
In fact, Gao Xian was curious about who was looking for him.
As for these two sudden lengtouqing, Gao Xian can preliminarily determine through his own observation that they should not be gangsters, but rather some kind of civil servants trained to be silly.
The international financial market analysis page of this issue of the Wall Street Journal mentioned the West German mark with increasing pressure on currency appreciation in Western Europe.
In short, several Western European countries, including West Germany, have complained that under the rigid fixed exchange rate system of the Bretton Woods system, as long as the US economy is weak, they will have to bleed and passively "pay for the big brother".
But the problem is that the US side is also dissatisfied with reality.
Gao Xian's mouth tilted. The Bretton Woods system has become a zero sum game. No wonder it will be thrown into the dustbin of history,
That is, after browsing a page, the two uninvited guys showed up again and said, "Gao, our boss will see you in the Robert Kennedy Justice Department building."
Quite surprised, Gao Xian asked, "who is your boss?"
The two should have been trained just now, with a faint helplessness on their faces, and replied: "Gao, we don't know whether the boss is willing or not. We'll tell you his name; therefore, you'd better wait to meet and get the answer yourself."
Gao Xianxin said, look at your embarrassment, your boss has a strange temper!
Thinking of this, Gao Xian joked tentatively, "can I choose not to go?"
Unexpectedly, the two silly guys shook their heads very seriously, "no one can refuse our boss."
Gao Xian said angrily, "even if Robert Kennedy, the owner of the Justice Department building, Attorney General John Mitchell, doesn't have such a big tone."
The two men said admiringly, "of course John Mitchell can't be compared with our boss!"
As soon as Gao Xian was excited, he blurted out: "the boss in your mouth is not the director of the FBI, Hoover?"
"Remember, you guessed it yourself, not what we told you." the two were very funny to get rid of the relationship.
Gao Xian immediately frowned silently. Eight poles couldn't play. Why did Hoover suddenly want to see himself? I'm not keen on Zhengzhi!
Anyone who is suddenly stared at by such a world-famous spy leader will feel uncomfortable, and Gao Xian is no exception.
However, Gao Xian understands that avoidance is not the way. The best response is to take it lightly.
"I'm afraid of a ball! If you don't believe that the Lord of hell can't find you next year," said Gao Xian, who was cruel to himself. "OK, let's go. I'll take the special bus of the hotel, and you'll be free."
Without objection, two FBI staff drove ahead to the Robert Kennedy Justice Department building on Pennsylvania Avenue.
As the name suggests, the name of the US Ministry of justice building comes from former US Attorney General Robert Kennedy, the brother of the assassinated former US President John Kennedy and another assassinated member of the Kennedy family.
The FBI's own headquarters building is still under construction. Therefore, it still shares office space with the immediate boss of the Ministry of justice.
Being able to meet Hoover, who put the FBI Director's throne in the building of the Ministry of justice, really calmed the high string who seemed to be nothing wrong.
Even under the global attention, there are still many strange phenomena in the United States.
For example, the Federal Reserve, which has the reality of a central bank, is private.
For another example, even the president of the United States can only be re elected for two terms, but Hoover has sat on the throne of director of the FBI for nearly half a century.
Of course, there must have been some American presidents who wanted to move Hoover's position, but they magically gave up in the end, forming a situation that as long as Hoover didn't die, the FBI would still be his private plot.
After Gao Xian finally met the legendary Hoover, he found that the other party was now a little old man running away at the age of 80. He described it as not amazing and not exaggerated at all.
There is no need for greetings between the two.
Hoover said bluntly, "young man, you are much calmer than I expected."
Gao Xian nodded softly, "I'm a businessman who abides by the rules. Of course I'll be calm!"
Hoover smiled playfully. "Then why do you think I should invite you here?"
"Maybe it's because I'm closer to the president's family recently." Gao Xian shrugged calmly. "As for the real reason, please let me know."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
