Rebirth

Today's Li Feng is no longer an ordinary person in his previous life, but a rising wealthy and upstart, and he has naturally heard about these organizations.

It’s not to say how tyrannical these organizations are. In fact, they are mainly a platform, a platform that can connect with the four parties. After all, people are social animals, right?

Both the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Hundreds have heard of it, and even have contacted many of them. For example, the architect I.M. Pei, etc., have contacted and exchanged telephone numbers, which is considered to be an acquaintance.

Thinking about the invitation letter sent, Li Feng received a call from I.M. Pei-Lao Pei. It turned out that the invitation letter of Li Feng's Hundred People's Association was personally proposed and recommended by Pei.

Naturally, Pei I.M. also told Li Feng the reason for inviting him, and then said a lot about the situation of Chinese or Chinese in the United States, the purpose of the Hundreds of Peoples Association, and so on. I hope Li Feng can be an example of Chinese in the United States.

On the phone, Li Feng also expressed his gratitude for his recommendation. At the same time, he thanked the Hundreds of Peoples Association for the invitation, saying that he agreed to join the Hundreds of Peoples Association, and finally discussed the formalities. Pei said that there are Hundreds of People’s Points in Los Angeles. Department, someone will come to your door tomorrow to help yourself with the formalities.

...

Through the phone call with Pei I.M., he also had a simple understanding of Li Feng, instead of hearsay.

The Council of Hundreds was once proposed by I.M. Pei, and was established with the support of a large number of influential and well-known elites in the United States, including Youyou Ma and Xuelan Yang.

Since ancient times, the Chinese have said that one person is a dragon and a group of people are worms. The prejudice against Chinese people in the United States has a long history.

For example, when I.M. Pei was interviewed by the American media when he became famous, he discovered that Americans’ understanding of the Chinese remained almost decades or even hundreds of years ago. Even in the 1980s, American reporters asked I.M. Pei. , Chinese people are still smoking big cigarettes.

On the phone, when Li Feng heard that Pei was asked like this, Li Feng told Pei on the phone whether it was because the Americans had become accustomed to marijuana, which led to the belief that the Chinese also smoked these things. Pei burst into laughter.

Later, Pei said that there are many Chinese organizations in the United States, such as the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but these organizations are too silent.

At that time, Pei had the idea of ​​making a Chinese voice. He believed that the voice of an elite Chinese is small, but if it is 100 Chinese elites.

Immediately, Pei contacted some influential Chinese in the United States to discuss his own ideas, and received support from many well-known figures in the American Chinese circle at the time, such as Youyou Ma, Xuelan Yang, Liuqian Tang, and Zhaoxiang Deng.

...

Not to mention Pei, some of the famous architectural designs all over the world, the reputation of "the last master of modern architecture" has said everything.

Yo-Yo Ma is a world-famous cello player and enjoys a reputation both in the United States and the world; Xuelan Yang is now GM’s global vice president, which is the American GM Group. GM’s influence is truly all-encompassing. Military, political and economic.At the same time, his stepfather is Gu Weijun, known as the'first person in diplomacy of the Republic of China', and enjoys a good reputation all over the world.

Tang Liuqian is also a personal character. The director of the Metropolitan Museum of New York is also a prominent figure in the upper echelons of New York. Deng Zhaoxiang is also a figure in Wall Street and a financial expert.

It can be said that the starting point of the Hundreds Association is very high, and it is an elite organization. Each member is given a prestigious name. Today, the Hundreds Association has become one of the most influential organizations in the Chinese circle in the United States.

The invitation of the Hundreds is very strict, only those Chinese elites with great influence and popularity in the United States are invited.

From 40 people at the beginning of its establishment to nearly a hundred people now, the Hundreds of People's Association will select Chinese elites across the United States to join each year, and each joining talent needs a member's recommendation and approval to receive an invitation letter.

It's a coincidence that this year's 100 people will invite candidates, and several of them are closely related to Li Feng.

The first is Yang Zhiyuan, the chairman of Yahoo. Now Yang Zhiyuan has a huge influence in the United States and the world. After all, Yang Zhiyuan is now known as one of the pioneers of the Internet.

Another is Wu Jianmin, President of East West Bank. Today, East West Bank has begun to expand toward the Chinese American community. With the continuous acquisition of two small banks this year, it has begun to step out of the Chinese community. Wu Jianmin’s East West Bank naturally attracted a lot of attention in the industry. .

As the leader of a bank, Wu Jianmin also attracted the attention of the Hundreds of Peoples Association, and was invited by the Hundreds of Peoples Association this year.

...

In addition to the Chamber of Hundreds, Li Feng also mentioned the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to I.M. Pei. Pei said that Hundreds would not conflict with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and he also persuaded Li Feng to join the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and said he was also a Chinese in New York. A member of the Chamber of Commerce said that the architectural design office he established is also a member of the businessmen.

At the same time, he also told Li Feng about the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, saying that it is the largest organization of Chinese in the United States. It can be said that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has involved all aspects of the Chinese circle in the United States, from politics, economy, culture, and life.

Similarly, Li Feng also knows that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce maintains contacts and cooperation with Chinese chambers of commerce all over the world. If you look back in history, it may be hundreds of years old, and even has an intersection with the early Chinese community Hongmen, etc., and has great influence. After all, wealth can always contact the Quartet.

Through the communication with Pei I.M., the architect, I have a further intuitive understanding of the Chinese in the US.

Speaking of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Li Feng only knew one before that was the Chinese Business Daily. After all, Li Feng reads the Chinese Business Daily every day, which is the largest Chinese newspaper in the United States.

To be honest, it is also blamed for Li Feng's rise so fast that others can't react to it. The headquarters of the American Chinese Chamber of Commerce is in Los Angeles. Before Li Feng thought it was in New York. After all, the headquarters of those large organizations are either in Washington or New York.

As a native of Los Angeles today, Li Feng doesn't know where the Chamber of Commerce is headquartered. He can only blame Li Feng for his ignorance.

...

Then I naturally got in touch with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles, and also explained that I agreed to join the Chamber of Commerce as a member. I got a reply from the Chamber of Commerce, saying that it would arrange someone to visit tomorrow. Well, like the Chamber of Hundreds, there are certain procedures.

In fact, Li Feng is really not very attractive to the various so-called Chinese organizations of the American Emperor. From the perspective of Li Feng's contact with the American Emperor now, the American Emperor’s Chinese and Chinese are also divided into upper and lower levels. , And the upper-level personnel often look down on the lower-level Chinese.

Even many Chinese communities in the U.S. Empire are stratified into two levels. Some Chinese communities live mostly so-called upper-class people, and a large number of Chinese communities are slum-like in nature, which are too loose.

And Li Feng also knows that with the rise of China Land, a variety of Chinese and Chinese organizations will continue to rise around the world in the future, and many of them will be filled up. Therefore, although there are many Chinese organizations, their influence in the United States is almost full. no.

Speaking of minority communities, Li Feng could not help but think of Jewish communities. The Jewish communities in the United States are indeed united. Li Feng learned a lot of examples of Jewish people helping each other. It once made Li Feng feel that it is no wonder that Jewish people can The United States and the world occupies an important position.
