Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1795 Da Piaoliang is the best at negotiation (Second update, please subscribe)

The scenery outside the car window was receding rapidly, and the neon lights cast changing colorful shadows on the glass. The streets were full of people who were unwilling to go home.

The car was driving on the street, and after just over ten minutes, it stopped in front of a high-rise apartment building on the side of Haibin Avenue.

"Okay, we're home."

Li Shiyu said that the car door was opened and she got out of the car directly, as if all this was normal.

Brigitte Lin looked up at the brightly lit high-end apartment. Although she didn't know much about this city, she knew through movies and TV shows that there were two wealthy areas in Chang'an, one was the sea view rooms on Seaside Boulevard, and the other was the villas in Genting Highlands.

This...her home is actually here!

Thinking of this, Lin Qingxia's throat tightened a little, and she even became a little embarrassed. The uniformed guard in the lobby bowed to Li Shiyu and greeted her.

"Happy New Year, Miss!"

"You too, Peter."

When the elevator stopped at the top floor, Brigitte Lin's heart was beating uncontrollably fast. It really was the top floor.

Is this the legendary penthouse?

When the elevator door opens, what comes into view is the apartment, which is the characteristic of a luxury apartment - one apartment per elevator.

"Ding ding ding, welcome..."

Li Shiyu used an exaggerated gesture and moved sideways to invite Lin Qingxia to go in first.

The moment she stepped into the apartment, Brigitte Lin's breath stopped. It was not because of the spacious living room, not because of the dazzling city night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, but because of the photos hanging on the wall, and the protagonist of each photo was the same person - Audrey Hepburn, the heroine of "Chang'an Holiday".

What shocked Lin Qingxia even more was that many of the photos contained several children, both boys and girls. In some of the photos, Hepburn was hugging a girl, some when she was a child, some when she was a teenager, and they were both smiling brightly. The girl looked very familiar...

Brigitte Lin turned abruptly to Li Shiyu, who was leaning against the door frame with a smile on her face.

"This...this is..."

Brigitte Lin's voice was trembling badly.

"She is my mother."

Li Shiyu said softly:
"Yes, your favorite idol is my mother."

Brigitte Lin felt dizzy and had to hold on to the wall to keep steady. Her eyes moved back and forth between the photo and Li Shiyu, trying to find evidence that this was not a joke.

"So you... you are..."

Brigitte Lin spoke somewhat incoherently.

"Well, I am the daughter of your favorite female star. Well, I am the most favored little daughter."

Li Shiyu smiled at her and said:
"Why? Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Brigitte Lin's mind went blank. She recalled how she had just praised Hepburn in front of the poster, and how she had looked when she said she liked the heroine the most. Her cheeks suddenly became hot.

"I... I don't know... God, I just said so much..."

Li Shiyu burst into laughter:
"It's okay! Many people like my mother. In fact,"

She led Lin Qingxia to the living room and said:

"Many people fell in love with this city because of 'Chang'an Holiday', just like you. However, she only made those few movies. Well, I have to blame my dad for that!"

Brigitte Lin was still in shock, letting Li Shiyu press her down on the soft sofa. She couldn't take her eyes off the photos on the wall - the star she had seen countless times in movies, the smiles she thought only existed on the screen, turned out to be Li Shiyu's daily life.

"Is your mother...at home?"

Brigitte Lin asked in a low voice, both looking forward to and fearing to meet her idol.

Li Shiyu shook her head:

"She and some aunts were accompanying dad to the New Year's Eve dinner."

She tilted her head to look at Lin Qingxia,
“Is this too much information? Does it scare you?”

Brigitte Lin took a deep breath and finally found her voice:
"I just... didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. My good friend is actually Hepburn's daughter... How small is the probability of this!"

“Fate is sometimes very strange.”

Li Shiyu stood up.

"Would you like something to drink? Hot cocoa?"

Brigitte Lin nodded, looked at Li Shiyu and gave an instruction to the maid.

Everything was so magical. She looked at this living room, which was probably hundreds of square meters, in a daze. Suddenly, she thought of one thing - when did Hepburn get married?

I don’t think I’ve heard of it.

But the problem is, she actually has a child, and he's so big now, and... there doesn't seem to be a "dad" in those photos. Thinking of what Shiyu said before, "Aunts, Dad", she seemed to understand something, but was still a little confused.

Even when she drank the hot cocoa, Brigitte Lin was still a little confused. Everything was too strange.

However, she soon felt relieved, and she walked to the window and looked outside. The city lights outside the window were still bright, and occasionally there were some fireworks rising.

Perhaps because it was her first New Year’s Eve, Brigitte Lin already felt that this would be a year she would never forget.

……

Another absurd night, when the morning sun shone into the bedroom, Li Yian woke up with a smile on his face, his eyes swept over the women around him. After so many years, sometimes, he really likes such absurdity, perhaps, this is some kind of bad taste.

There is no opportunity at ordinary times, and such a chance only exists during festivals when everyone gets together.

Although it is ridiculous, you still need to exercise your body. Although exercise in bed is also exercise, habits of many years rarely change.

After a ridiculous night, Li Yian finally got up at 6 o'clock in the morning, washed up simply, and went to the backyard.

In line with the principle of not working during holidays, Li Yian, who sets an example by himself, comes to Genting Highlands every weekend and holiday to enjoy the rare leisure time.

Even though he was running in his own garden, there were still several Secret Service agents following him, but they were keeping a certain distance.

Breathing the refreshing breeze unique to Genting Highlands, Li Yian's mood also became relaxed. Perhaps it was because of the New Year, the oxygen-rich air, or last night's indulgence.

He ran all the way like this. Even though he was already in his forties, when he ran, those agents were still no match to him.

This might be the blessing of the system or the sequelae of time travel. Not only did the past twenty years not leave many traces on his body, he had not even caught a cold. His physical fitness was even better than that of professional athletes.

Just as Li Yian was expressing his gratitude for his good health, Zhang Zeyuan was already waiting there not far ahead.

He would come here at this time, so something must have happened.

He slowed down his pace in advance, walked over, took the towel from Zhang Zheyuan's hand, wiped his sweat, and asked:
"Tell me, what happened."

"It's not our business, but it has a lot to do with us..."

Zhang Zheyuan took out a report and said:
"Sir, Nixon has delivered his New Year's speech,"

Li Yian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, although he hadn't read his speech yet:
“Anything related to Vietnam?”

"Yes, Your Excellency,"

Zhang Zheyuan nodded and said:
"In his speech, Nicholas Nicholson clearly mentioned that he would do his utmost to end the Vietnam War..."

"Finish it with all your strength..."

With his brows furrowed, Li Yian sneered, ""

"Is this his masterstroke? A declaration like this that he's going to end the Vietnam War?"

Sometimes Li Yian is even too lazy to complain about these American presidents.

Everyone keeps saying that no one is better at negotiating than them, that they are all omnipotent and outstanding people, but in reality, it is simply indescribable.

"How can we negotiate if we throw out the bottom line before we even start the negotiations?"

The reason why Li Yian said this is because Nixon’s speech this year directly exposed his bottom line.

“You want to end the Vietnam War, but that’s not how you end it.”

Zhang Zeyuan nodded and said.

"Sir, it's New Year now. Nixon needs to give some explanation to the Americans. After all, when he took office, he said he would end the war."

"The war is going to end, but not in this way."

Shaking his head, Li Yian continued:

"Nixon's biggest bargaining chip was to continue the war, but when he said he would end the war at all costs, he actually exposed his bottom line - the United States was no longer able to continue the war. In this case, no matter how he talked at the negotiating table, he would not be able to reach a conclusion..."

After taking a quick look at the New Year's speech, Li Yian handed it to Zhang Zeyuan and said:

"Hanoi will not compromise, and its backers will not compromise either. Hanoi hopes to achieve national reunification, while its backers hope to see the United States embarrass itself in front of the whole world and demonstrate its own strength."

Li Yian took the towel and wiped the sweat off his forehead, then continued:

"They have seen the weakness of the United States. How could they possibly compromise at the negotiation table? Nixon has no cards to play in this war..."

“The United States has no more cards?”

Zhang Zeyuan looked at you with some doubt.

"What if they break through the previous ban and launch a full-scale bombing of North Vietnam?"

"So what? The more this happens, the more it reveals their eagerness to end the war. What they can't get on the battlefield is also impossible to get at the negotiation table."

Li Yian sighed and said:
“The United States no longer has any cards in its hand. Originally, they could have used extreme pressure to force North Vietnam to sit down at the negotiation table, end the war through negotiations, and restrain North Vietnam’s behavior.

but now……"

Shaking his head, Li Yian looked into the distance and said.

"The United States has no chance. This speech by Kerson has exposed his bottom line. In the coming period, he will go all out to end this war.

Even including betraying Saigon."

What will he do in the next period of time? He will visit Moscow, he will visit the University of Tokyo, and he will try every possible way to end this war through various channels.

When the effect was not significant, he forced the other side to return to the negotiating table by launching a full-scale bombing of Vietnam, which, like his New Year's speech, exposed his inner anxiety. In the end, the so-called armistice treaty was actually a treaty without any binding force.

The fate of Saigon was sealed at this moment.

With his brows furrowed, Li Yian thought for a moment and then said:

"Well, get ready, an old friend will be visiting soon."
