People in America: My Uncle Don Quixote

Chapter 568 America Must Compensate Levi! (2-in-1, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

As Agent Caesar was catching his breath, a figure suddenly appeared in the living room.

Without any sign of air movement, light change, or sound, a person suddenly appeared in the living room, startling him so much that he immediately clutched his chest.

Anya and the others, however, were unfazed. They walked over to the figure and complained, "You said half an hour, why have you taken so long?"

"One aircraft carrier wasn't very satisfying," Li Wei said, rubbing Anya's head. "Most of the time was wasted watching the people from the second aircraft carrier evacuate. Killing so many people didn't seem necessary."

“That’s right,” Anya said, beaming. “So what would you like to eat tonight? I’ll cook it for you myself as a reward.”

Li Wei paused for a moment: "Well... it's not necessary. This is too much work. Let the chef make something, or we can have a barbecue."

Anya could easily see that Li Wei was making excuses, and was about to raise her eyebrows when she suddenly remembered that there were outsiders present. She pointed to the reserved Caesar and said, "You have guests."

Levi turned to look at Caesar: "Agent?"

"Yes, it's me," Caesar instinctively scrambled to his feet. "FBI, Senior Agent Caesar."

Just as he was about to say something, his headset lit up again.

He listened for a moment, then quickly said, "Mr. Li Wei, the President would like to invite you..."

"He wants to talk to me," Levi said. "I heard him. What does he want to say? I'll give him one last chance."

After covering his mouth and whispering a few words into his earpiece, Caesar looked up and said, "The President is already on his way in his private jet. He deeply apologizes for the Attorney General's abuse of power that caused your family distress."

“I heard it too,” Levi pointed to his ear. “His exact words were, ‘I’m on my way. I’ll tell him I’m sorry, it’s all the Attorney General’s fault.’”

Caesar paused, gave a wry smile, and continued dryly, "The President said that to express his apology, he is willing to receive you with a level of protocol even higher than that of a head of state. Air Force One will personally greet you, and a gun salute, honor guard, and state banquet can all be arranged."

"Go to Washington?" Levi thought for a moment. "It's too far, I'm too lazy to go, the process is too long."

Caesar was stunned.

"Isn't he on his way?" Li Wei said. "Let him come see me directly."

The no-fly zone over New York remained in effect, and an hour later, Air Force One secretly landed at Kennedy Airport.

After coming to a stop, the president transferred to a helicopter and flew eastward toward Long Island.

Finally, the helicopter landed nervously on the helipad at Levi's Manor.

Even more pressured than the president himself are his personal secret service agents.

They were right next to the president and witnessed exactly what Levi did.

They were quite certain that the pistols, folding shields, and other weapons they carried at their waists, which were meant to subdue ordinary people, were no different from toys in front of Li Wei.

Even if the Autobots came, they would only be beaten to the ground by Levi, since the former is a comic book and the latter actually destroyed two aircraft carriers in front of thousands of people.

Fortunately, the owner of the estate had no intention of replacing the president there, and no one even came out to greet them. The agents escorted the president into the main building, and they were soaked through in just a few dozen meters.

Meanwhile, the fireplace in the living room was burning brightly, and the sound of the television could be heard through the French windows.

A large fire broke out at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada tonight for unknown reasons, with flames shooting into the sky.

'

Breaking news: Emergency situation over New York; JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark airports are all closed.

"The Long Island Expressway in New York City was just reopened 10 minutes ago after an unknown incident paralyzed the entire city's traffic for more than two hours..."

Television stations across the United States, including some commercial channels, are reporting on what happened tonight, and it looks like at least a million people will lose sleep because of it.

Meanwhile, the mastermind behind everything, the ultimate villain, was sitting on the sofa, with a bunch of Shine Muscat grapes floating in mid-air beside him, falling one by one from the vine and flying into Li Wei's mouth.

The president paused at the door, glanced at the scene on the television, and then looked at Li Wei.

The Secretary of Defense and the Chief of Staff followed behind; this wasn't their first time there.

When the other people in the living room saw that the president had actually come, they all stood up and greeted him as a sign of respect.

When Li Wei saw the president enter, he stood up, and the grapes fell into the fruit bowl. Li Wei went up and shook hands with the president.

"I've even watched you play," the president suddenly said during the handshake. "My favorite team is the Philadelphia Hawks. I was there when the Giants played against the Hawks once."

"You beat the Hawks horribly back then," he joked.

"I was just doing what I was supposed to do back then," Li Wei smiled.

"Yes, you really played exceptionally well that season," the president remarked. "I used to wonder why an Asian could be so strong, but now I truly understand."

Li Wei shrugged.

"Can we find a place to sit down and talk for a while?" The president looked around and smiled wryly. "I'm just an old man who's getting old and could fall into an unstable state of dementia at any time."

"Of course," Li Wei gestured, "come with me."

Li Wei led everyone to a study on the first floor. The president wanted to go in, but he waved them off.

"If he's plotting something against me," he said, "what difference would another 2 men make?"

After saying that, he looked at Li Wei and said, "All I brought with me on this trip is goodwill and honesty; nothing else."

"Then I will repay you in the same way," Li Wei said.

The two entered the study, and the chair in front of the president suddenly pulled out by itself and then slowly moved behind him.

"Although I saw it in the video," he said with a wry smile as he sat down, "I still can't believe my eyes when I see it in real life."

The chair was placed in front of him at the table, and Li Wei walked over unhurriedly, sat down opposite him, and didn't say a word.

The two fell into silence.

After a few seconds, the president smiled and broke the silence, saying in a somewhat ingratiating voice, "The Attorney General has been suspended."

Li Wei nodded, his expression unchanged.

"Everything that happened tonight was his decision alone. The White House had no prior knowledge of it and it has nothing to do with you," the president continued.

However, Li Wei simply said "Oh," with an "I see" expression, and remained silent.

"Furthermore, all the losses that have occurred today," the president continued, "have nothing to do with you."

Silence remained.

"Is that all?" Li Wei asked.

The president exclaimed, "Huh?"

"What about my compensation?" Li Wei asked.

"You, your compensation...?"

The president was stunned and almost drifted into a trance again.

What does it mean to compensate Levi? He destroyed two aircraft carriers, hundreds of fighter jets, and the Red Rock fortifications, inflicting the most severe military losses on the United States since World War II in just two hours.

The direct economic losses alone amounted to as much as $100 billion, not to mention the devastation caused by the sinking of the two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

The salvage and monitoring often take several years.

This is a real blow, and he's still racking his brains trying to figure out how to resolve the situation.

Now Li Wei is actually asking him for compensation?!

"You have unjustifiably restricted my personal freedom, illegally entered my home, and caused immense emotional distress to my family," Li Wei said. "Is this all you want to end this?"

"Well..." The president felt sweat pouring down his back, "What kind of compensation do you want?"

"My live stream on January 7th?" Li Wei asked. "They can't keep blocking me, can they?"

"I'll give the green light to all the live streaming rights, and I'll have someone meet with the CEOs of the TV networks and platforms," ​​the president said.

"And then there's my LW product," Li Wei thought for a moment, "the FDA's product classification, and the recent stagnation in sales growth."

"The FDA will grant LW a whitelist and set up a special department to review LW's products," the president immediately said. "As for sales growth... I will push for LW to sign contracts with the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force."

"There are other allies," Levi said. "LW will not sign an exclusive agreement with the U.S. military."

"And there are other allies," the president paused, then said, "LW can be sold wherever it wants."

Li Wei nodded. Given the number of active personnel in the U.S. armed forces, this order would be worth at least $20 billion a year. Moreover, the President would probably not sign a one-year contract with him; it would likely be at least a five-year base period plus a five-year renewal.

If the other American allies follow suit, they could probably contribute about half of that.

The $300 billion in cash inflow alone is enough to make LW a behemoth with a valuation of over $4000 billion.

"Since you're being so cooperative," Li Wei smiled, "then I won't make any requests regarding the state government level."

Upon hearing this, the president gave a wry smile.

The United States adheres to a federal and state separation system. Even if he agrees, he cannot simply implement it with an order like mobilizing the military. He would have to leverage his personal connections and work his way up through the various levels of government.

"Also," Li Wei said, "regarding LW, you can't deduct my taxes."

He was shocked by the high tax rates when he first arrived in America, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to make demands.

"This..." the president hesitated, "I probably can't do this in a short time."

"Then let's talk about it on January 7th," Li Wei smiled, "or maybe I've actually been annoyed by the IRS building for a long time..."

'

"I will discuss this with the director of the IRS," the president said helplessly.

"Furthermore, on my side, all follow-up communications with government agencies are based on Elizabeth Mellon's directives," he continued. "He paused, looking at the president: 'You're not going to renege on your promise, are you?'"

"How could that be?!" the president exclaimed. "Since I've promised, I will definitely do everything in my power to push it forward."

"No, I'm afraid you'll forget as you get older," Li Wei said. "How about this, I'll get you a piece of paper..."

After Li Wei mentioned a few more points, he wrote them all down and handed them to the president.

"I don't need your signature anymore," Li Wei said with a smile. "If you can handle it well, I'll still personally support you on social media. What do you think?"

The president looked at the treaty on paper, feeling both angry and relieved.

Li Wei's demands are mainly focused on himself and those around him, except for LW, whose situation might be the most damaging.

Aside from the tax exemption, he could generally grit his teeth and swallow the rest.

But this was a complete and utter humiliation, for America and for the President of the United States.

No one can ever ride on the back of an entire country.

But then he suddenly remembered Li Wei's record and had no choice but to suppress his anger.

As he spoke, Li Wei suddenly sniffed the air.

"Oh no," he frowned, "Anya must have cooked."

He stood up on his own, and the study door opened by itself: "For your health, I won't keep you for dinner. You can leave now, but don't forget my request."

The president stood up somewhat bewildered, and was then surrounded by Secret Service agents, his chief of staff, the secretary of defense, and others who entered the room.

He handed the paper to his chief of staff: "Get things done as soon as possible."

The chief of staff took the paper, unfolded it, and gasped. His gaze toward Li Wei became complicated.

"I'm afraid you'll have a new title in the future," he said. "Mr. World's Richest Man."

Li Wei smiled, shrugged, and said nothing.

The group followed the president out of Levi's estate, and the helicopter slowly took off until the estate became a tiny dot.

"Should we agree to all of these?" the chief of staff asked.

"What else can we do?" the president said with a complicated expression. "You go and tell him face to face, 'We can't do that?'"

The chief of staff shook his head like a rattle.

"But this is a good thing," the president said, looking down at the clouds. "The deeper he is tied to us, the less damage he may cause."

His deep gaze was so impressive that if the chief of staff hadn't known he had severe presbyopia, he would have been fooled into thinking he could actually see the Long Island Estate below.

"But we must now acknowledge that a real-world god is riding on our heads," the Secretary of Defense said, "and he is not American, he is not even white."

"God has many forms," ​​the president said. "All we can do now is accept it."

"Understood," the chief of staff sighed, "I'll quickly put together a plan today."

He looked up at the Minister of Defense: "Those two fleets should have all seen Li Wei, right? What are you planning to do about it?"

"It's impossible to cover it up," the Defense Minister shook his head. "Videos are already starting to circulate on the internet."
