The Millennium Semiconductor Survival Guide.

Chapter 105

After Cao Yongluo finished reading the book the next day, he called Zhou Xin and had a general chat about it.

After Zhou Xin heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. Zhao Zhihua had only a few memories in his mind.

Originally, Zhou Xin thought that New Oriental would use the contract they signed, and then contact him to publish a book or something.

It's possible that New Oriental contacted him, but he didn't see too many emails in his mailbox.Unexpectedly, the first to publish the book was a classmate he could only say he knew.

Zhou Xin doesn't have a good way to solve this problem. If he wants to solve it, as long as he has the will, please Cao Yongluo, and use Cao Yongluo's family relationship to solve it.

However, there are still great hidden dangers in this solution. First of all, it is using public power to do things for private individuals, and it has not passed the relevant procedures.

It seems that it is nothing to do so now, and there may be problems in doing so when returning to China.

So when Cao Yongluo asked him on the phone if he wanted to come forward to help solve this matter, Zhou Xin refused.

This solution can only make this book no longer published, and it will not work for the hundreds of thousands of copies that have already been sold.

The genuine editions have sold hundreds of thousands of copies, let alone pirated editions.

It is impossible not to deal with this matter. This is not only a violation of his own right of reputation.

For example, the masters of success in China regard him as an archway, saying that they once taught Zhou Xin, which is why Zhou Xin can achieve such great success.

After Zhou Xin thought about it for a while, he could only think of contacting a law firm specializing in this area in China, and suing individuals and companies that violated his own right of reputation one by one.

Anyway, he has the money to afford a lawsuit.

However, this method is inefficient. Huaguo's punishment for this kind of infringement of reputation rights is very light, and it is difficult to truly deter the group of people who want to profit from his popularity.

This is also a problem for Zhou Xin. Even in 2020, it will be difficult to hold accountable for this behavior, let alone now.

Two words, headache.

Zhou Xin planned to put this matter aside for a moment. He had a dinner with Yang Zhiyuan at night, and Yang Zhiyuan asked him to dress more formally, saying that he had a friend to introduce him to.

When Zhou Xin drove out of Beverly Hills in a tattered second-hand GM, the real estate in the community knew at a glance that it was Newman, who had become famous in the past year.

In the entire Beverly Hills, only Zhou Xin drove such a bad car, so that the property owner and some neighbors thought that this young Chinese man had some eccentricities.

"Newman, long time no see. This is Li Xihui, Robert Lee, the vice chairman of California Blue Shield Insurance Group."

Yang Zhiyuan was very enthusiastic, and did not regard Zhou Xin as an enemy because of the many rounds of competition between Yahoo and the companies under Zhou Xin's name.

Business is business, and friendship is friendship. Yang Zhiyuan has a deep identification with the identity of the Chinese, so as a well-known entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, he believes that he and Zhou Xin naturally have a lot of common topics.

From time to time, Yang Zhiyuan would call Zhou Xin out for a gathering.

After shaking hands with Li Xihui, Zhou Xin said, "Hi, I'm glad to meet another senior Chinese."

At the same time, Zhou Xin thought that Blue Shield Insurance was quite famous, and he could often see the stores and advertisements of this insurance company.

But the problem is that the executives of the insurance company have nothing to do with Yang Zhiyuan, unless Blue Shield Insurance wants to advertise on Yahoo.

It was even stranger to come and see myself.

Li Xihui smiled all over his face. In order to appear more enthusiastic, he shook Zhou Xin's hand vigorously up and down a few times.

"It's also nice to meet you, it's really scary to be young now, I was still an undergraduate at the University of Southern California when you were your age.

We are also alumni in a sense, my MBA is read in Berkeley.

And I have made great achievements in the Internet field, which is much better than when I was young, and even at the age of 20, I have achieved greater achievements than when I was 60. "

Li Xihui seemed extraordinarily humble, mainly because Zhou Xin went through his memory and didn't know what the other party was.

However, being able to be the vice chairman of Blue Shield Insurance just as a Chinese is already very powerful. It has already broken the ceiling of the Chinese and belongs to the famous Chinese.

The other party was so polite to him, Zhou Xin would definitely not slap him in the face. After a few words of pleasantries, Li Xihui continued to ask:
"Did you know that American has always had a tradition of association?"

Zhou Xin nodded. Secret associations. Later, many conspiracy theories came from secret associations in Europe and the United States.

The Illuminati, Skull and Bones, etc. are all secret societies in a certain sense.

Including when Zhou Xin was studying for a doctorate at Berkeley, Lighthizer's grandson joined a certain fraternity.

Fraternities belong to the tradition of secret societies at American University.

As a native of China, Zhou Xin has a natural resistance to these things. He is still doing this in what age.

When he was in Berkeley, he was also invited by a Chinese secret society, but he declined.

"You know, there are fraternities similar to secret societies in our university. When I first came, no fraternity invited me to join. Later, after I got my doctorate, someone invited me to join."

Li Xihui continued: "Zhiyuan and I are both members of a society called the Hundreds, which is different from the college fraternity, we don't engage in activities for young people like that.

We mainly focus on socializing, subsidizing Chinese education, and promoting political and economic exchanges between Huaguo and American.

I was one of the earliest founders of the Committee of [-] and is now the chairman of the Committee of [-]. Zhiyuan is also a member of us.

This time, I asked Zhiyuan to introduce me to you as an intermediary, and it is also the Committee of [-] who wants to invite you to join our organization.

Our members include Pei Ming, Yang Zhenning, etc., and a large number of outstanding Chinese in various fields are members of the Committee of [-]. "

After Zhou Xin listened to it, he immediately understood that the Committee of [-] is a well-known Chinese organization, and almost all the well-known Chinese in the United States are members of the Committee of [-].

Famous people like Yau Shing Tong, Gary Locke, Zhang Zhongmou, Wu Jianxiong, etc., Kai-fu Lee also joined this organization, and he is not even considered a Chinese coffee in it.

Hu Zhengming talked with him to the Committee of Hundreds, and he was not qualified to join the Committee of Hundreds when he was just an ordinary professor.

When he was qualified to join the Committee of [-], there was Zhang Zhongmou in the Committee of [-]. He and Zhang Zhongmou had disagreements in their ideas, so he never joined the Committee of [-] from the beginning to the end.

Another very important point is that Hu Zhengming does not like to join this kind of organization.

In 2003, when Qiu Chengtong, Liu ZY, and Pei Minxin joined the Committee of [-], Hu Zhengming could also join in.

Qiu Chengtong doesn't need to introduce too much. Liu ZY was hired as the president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and then was pulled in by the Committee of [-]. Pei Minxin is a senior researcher at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Zhou Xin's view of the Committee of [-] is relatively neutral. He had only heard about it from Hu Zhengming before, and had never dealt with it himself.

Unexpectedly, I have only been in American for a year now, and the Hundreds will come to my door, "I want to know what obligations I need to undertake, and I can roughly guess what I can get."

In addition, Zhou Xin seemed to remember something: "I remember that the Committee of Hundreds seemed to be required to be American, right?
I am afraid that a Chinese person like me who only holds a green card does not meet the requirements of the Committee of [-]? "

Li Xihui took a sip of wine from his glass and said: "In the beginning, the rules formulated by our founders Mr. Pei and Mr. Yo-Yo Ma, the Committee of [-] was to promote exchanges between Huaguo and American and promote the relationship between the two countries.

At the same time, speak out for the Chinese community in American, and strive for more voices for all Chinese Americans.

Our original requirement was indeed to recruit only American citizens.

But the Committee of 21 has been established for almost ten years, and the earth is about to enter the [-]st century. We also need to change, so we changed the rules to allow a Chinese citizen with an American green card to join the Committee of [-] every year. "

After finishing speaking, Li Xihui paused for a moment: "It can be said that it is your appearance that made us decide to modify the rules.

If Newman, who is well-known in Silicon Valley, does not join the Committee of [-], what is the point of the Committee of [-]'s so-called elite among the elite?

And we have discussed this topic in depth internally. A society that promotes the relationship between Huaguo and American not only needs to have Chinese from American, but also needs representatives from Huaguo to speak out.

We have not only revised the membership rules, but the membership dues of the Committee of [-] only sponsored Chinese American students in American. Starting this year, we will also sponsor outstanding Chinese overseas students. "

Although the Committee of [-] is an American organization, it has always called on the American government to adopt dialogue to resolve differences during the American tariff increase period.

In 2019, the Committee of [-], together with the American Chinese Business Association, the Chinese American Business Association, and the Overseas Chinese Federation, issued a statement calling on the American government to withdraw the new tariffs on Chinese goods.

To put it simply, a hundred people will be much better than a lot of gods who have run out.

"As for what you need to do, you may be required to participate in the internal activities of the Committee of 1000. Our annual fixed membership fee is $[-], which is nothing to you.

At the same time, you can mention it to us if you need it, and we will find a way to help you solve it. "

Yang Zhiyuan took over the words: "That's right, judging from my experience of joining the Committee of [-], the Committee of [-] has helped me in many ways.

This is a great non-political organization that will help you a lot in expanding your network in American.

Newman, whether you join the Committee of [-] or not is completely up to you. I just stand as a friend and think it will help you integrate into American society faster. "

Jerry Yang was also admitted as a member of the Committee of [-] after his start-up in Silicon Valley.

Zhou Xin also wanted to go back and collect the information of the Committee of [-] carefully, so he said: "I am very grateful that the Committee of [-] values ​​me so much, and I don't reject joining the Committee of [-], but because I don't know enough about the Committee of [-].

I want to go back and understand it carefully before replying.Whether I join the Committee of [-] or not, it will not affect my friendship with the Committee of [-].

One more question, if I don't join, will the Committee of [-] still recruit Chinese members this year? "

　Have you seen the Committee of [-] in other articles about Rebirth of America?
