The taste may not be good, but when it comes to drinking, the important thing is not just the wine itself, but also the sense of history and value hidden in it, just like tasting expensive and precious old wine can make it more enjoyable.

Han Chudong actually doesn't like the taste of whiskey. He feels it's okay after adding ice cubes. Occasionally, he will taste tequila, brandy, rum, etc. at home. There are many boxes of them piled up in the basement. He uses them to give his brain, which is accustomed to complex thinking, a short rest.

Bringing wine is a kind of etiquette. When socializing in the United States, whether visiting a male friend or attending a private party, you can never go wrong by bringing a bottle of good wine.

I also brought a box of pizza because I hadn't had dinner yet and was a little hungry.

Hearing Governor Olson say this, Han Chudong smiled and replied, "Thank you for your invitation. Although I have passed by Dodger Stadium countless times, this is my first time to watch a game. This is my old friend, Helena Bergman. Both of her parents work for the FBI. She came from Washington to study and will report to Stanford University in a few days. This is Governor Olson."

Hoover has been dead for some years, but his influence remains, and people are still wary of the FBI as an official department, especially those working in Washington.

The reason why they are worried and afraid is probably because they have something to hide. After all, even the person at the top has resigned in disgrace, so how can the people below be clean? Everyone has some little secrets that they are afraid of being known by others. This is the atmosphere.

Olsen initially thought that Han Chudong had only brought a pretty girl to such an occasion to see the world. After all, they were all men, and everyone knew what kind of fickle things they were doing.

After hearing this, he became a little interested. When shaking hands with Helena Bergman, he asked tentatively: "I often go to Washington, D.C., maybe I know your parents. Which department do they work in?"

"Counterintelligence. I guess you don't know me. I was just promoted last year."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Olsen felt relieved after hearing this. In fact, there was nothing to worry about.

Today was just a normal social event. He happened to be in Los Angeles, hanging out with local wealthy businessmen. Han Chudong's statement at Paul Getty Sr.'s party yesterday made him feel that he should win them over more and deepen exchanges.

The shareholders of MGM and Universal Pictures are named Tim and Anderson, both of whom are over 40 years old.

Although they are called shareholders, the shares they hold actually do not exceed 5%. Even so, they are already considered major shareholders among those old listed companies.

No matter how much money they had, as long as Paul Getty and the other two super-rich people were not present, they were not as rich as Han Chudong. They greeted and chatted, talked about movies with Anderson, and also got to know other people present, one of whom ran seven department stores in Southern California and the other was engaged in financial business.

The fund manager was well aware of Han Chudong's abilities, and knew that he could easily set up a private equity fund with guaranteed returns and raise hundreds of millions of dollars for management. Therefore, he was very polite and took the initiative to go out and ask someone to bring him wine glasses and ice cubes.

By the time the game started, they were already sitting in the box, eating pizza and drinking wine, watching the professional baseball team game with the lights on.

Han Chudong didn't know the Dodgers, let alone their opponent tonight, the Detroit Tigers. As for the Boston Red Sox, Oakland Athletics, etc., he only knew the names and nothing else.

So he just kept silent, even Helena understood more than him.

Anderson, a shareholder of Universal Pictures, realized that everyone was busy discussing the performance of the players and had not paid attention to Han Chudong, so he said, "Mason, aren't you a Dodgers fan? You should know the rules of baseball, right?"

"I used to read it sometimes, but I've been too busy with business recently, so I haven't paid much attention to it." Han Chudong said frankly.

Mr. Anderson raised his lips and said to his friends, "See, this is the attitude a businessman should have. No wonder he can make so much money in such a short time. All we do is drink, smoke cigars, and organize parties and card games from time to time."

"Hearing what you said, it seems that we really haven't worked hard enough. Especially after we felt that we had enough money, we became a little lax."

Governor Olson also smiled and said, "Mason, you should try to relax. You are so rich and still working so hard to make money, which will make others despair. The last time I met old Walter O'Malley, he seemed to want to sell his shares in the Dodgers. If any of you are interested, maybe you can try to make a move."

"Walter is actually willing to sell the Dodgers? It seems that his physical condition is really bad. I still remember when that guy first brought the Brooklyn Dodgers to Los Angeles, because it was a major league baseball team, the people of Los Angeles treated him as a hero. But I heard that he was scolded badly in New York. Someone wrote "liar" and "thief" on his door."

The person who said this was a shareholder of several department stores. He was over 50 years old and had just experienced the relocation of the Brooklyn Dodgers more than 20 years ago.

The atmosphere of the conversation was quite relaxed, just like a group of middle-aged people chatting about family matters.

Speaking of this topic, the shareholder of MGM, whose name is Tim, became excited. He said in surprise, "Is this true? Olson? If it is true, I want to talk to him, but I will definitely not offer a high price. The Dodgers have not performed very well in recent years. With so much money, I would rather invest in a golf course near Highway 1."

"It's absolutely true. Walter O'Malley told me in person that he hopes to approve the application to renovate Dodger Stadium as soon as possible and sell it after the renovation. Look at those chairs and railings down there. Many of them are broken. The environment is even worse than the home stadium of the San Francisco Giants," said Olson.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Although he seems to be very powerful, in fact, several people present today are his financial sponsors or potential financial sponsors. Therefore, he is not arrogant at all. Instead, he is like an amiable uncle next door. He only talks about competitions and gossip, and has nothing to do with topics such as business and policies.

Han Chudong finally had a chance to interrupt and asked, "Excuse me, how many shares does the Dodgers owner hold? Is the stadium being sold together with the transfer? If he really plans to transfer it, I would be more interested as long as the price is right."

"You? If you compete with me, I will definitely have no chance." The MGM shareholder named Tim said helplessly, and added: "But you don't even like baseball, right? I don't think you have the kind of impulse that comes from your heart to be deeply attracted to baseball games."

"These can be cultivated. If it becomes my team, I will certainly care about it."

Han Chudong continued, "Also, my mother thinks that my father's work in the SWAT team is too dangerous. He just happens to like baseball, so I want to find a position for him."

Everyone was speechless.

Governor Olson said with envy, "I wish I had a son like you, but he's just a lawyer. I don't see any hope at all."

"Who wouldn't? If I could have a son who would save me from struggling for several lifetimes, even if I had to lie in a coffin, I would be able to run out with a smile..."
