Although everyone came for Chen Geng today, since Chen Geng said that he would not talk about this matter today, everyone closed their mouths one after another...... No one is stupid, what good is it for himself to provoke Chen Geng to be unhappy?

Those who secretly observed Lian Changheng and Ding Haijun were also relieved: If it continues, today's Chinese New Year's Eve will become a special investment promotion conference for Chen Geng.

"See, Lao Ding," Lian Changheng said to Ding Haijun in a low voice: "This is Chen Geng's appeal in the North American Chinese community, and in the North American Chinese elite group, you are also an old diplomat, you should know what it means to be such a strong figure with strong appeal." ”

Ding Haijun nodded extremely reluctantly.

The young man in front of him did subvert his inherent impression of Chen Geng, he had always thought that he was just a young man with some achievements (well, in fact, the achievements are still a little big), but that's all, but now it seems that his appeal in the most important group of Chinese in North America is not ordinarily strong, although it can't be compared with Mr. Meitang during World War II, but he is not an unknown person, in a word, people like this, the diplomatic system and even the country can't pay too much attention to it... ... For such a promising young man with a promising future, it doesn't seem like a bad thing for his daughter to be able to get together with him?

Or is Ding Haijun a little curious, Chen Geng can't come empty-handed, right?

........................

Chen Geng did not come empty-handed, but the New Year's gift he brought to the embassy was beyond the expectations of all the leaders of the embassy......

"Mr. Chen, you're not kidding, are you?" Lian Changheng's voice trembled, and he couldn't help but stand up: "Do you really want to set up an international student fund with $1 million a year?"

Lian Changheng's whole person was trembling with excitement, and the leaders of the other accompanying embassies were not much better, everyone was frightened by what Chen Geng had just said, or shocked by Chen Geng's generosity: 1 million US dollars a year, this is a lot of money from the boss!

For China in this era, how much does $1 million mean?

Look at the orders of the first and second weights for the automobile production line of Fernandez Company, you can know how important this money is, but such an important amount of money, Chen Geng did not hesitate to take it out, and it is specially provided to Chinese students studying in the United States? !

Chen Geng nodded and sighed: "If a country and a nation want to rejuvenate, it needs a large number of high-tech talents. ”

"Yes. Lian Changheng sighed, this is a fact, there is nothing bad to admit: "So at the moment when economic construction is the core, the country still grits its teeth and squeezes out as much foreign exchange as possible, sending outstanding students to study abroad and learn advanced knowledge, technology and concepts abroad." ”

"So the purpose of my decision to set up this international student foundation is to help these international students, so that they can focus more on how to study hard, rather than on how to find a job and how to survive," Chen Geng said, "In addition, we are also actively contacting major universities in the United States to strive for some international student places for our international student foundation, so as to give those students in China who may only be one or two points short and lose the opportunity to study abroad."

In addition, as you know, we have a lot of self-operated, share-owned car dismantling companies and vehicle maintenance and second-hand car sales companies in the United States, and I will try my best to provide these students with part-time opportunities, at least I can earn two or three times more than washing dishes for the same amount of time, and I don't have to look at the faces of those foreigners, and I don't have to be discriminated against......

"Thank you, Chairman Chen, thank you for everything you have done for this nation......" Holding Chen Geng's hand, Lian Changheng's tears could no longer hold back and flowed down.

Not only Lian Changheng, but also several comrades from other embassies kept wiping their eyes.

The comrades of the embassy present are counted as one, every one of them has studied abroad when they are young, and they know very well what kind of life those Chinese students who study abroad: as a public student, the state bears everyone's tuition fees and part of the living expenses abroad, but in fact, this money is not enough to live at all, as for buying some books and materials needed to study majors, don't even think about it, if you want to fill your stomach and get a good grade, almost every Chinese international student has to go to work.

But where can I go to work?

I can only go to those restaurants owned by local Chinese to brush the dishes, and after four or five hours of hard work to brush the plates, my hands are soaked white, but I can only earn two or three dollars. But even if he worked so hard to earn this money, he was often deducted by the boss with various excuses and reasons.

So much so that for these international students, in order to make ends meet, they have to work multiple jobs, and it is the norm to sleep five or six hours a day, otherwise there is no way to ensure life and study.

Compared with the hardships of life, what is even more uncomfortable is the pervasive discrimination: discrimination against people in the country where they are studying, discrimination against themselves by the owners of Chinese restaurants and shops where they work, and discrimination against students from other countries......

It is precisely because of these ubiquitous discrimination that Chen Geng's help for international students in the United States is invaluable, which is not only a help, a support, but also a dignity.

"Mr. Chen," Lian Changheng wiped away a handful of tears, held Chen Geng's hand vigorously, and refused to let go of anything: "I won't say anything else, in short, on behalf of Huaxia and the international students in Huaxia, thank you for your generous help...... By the way, Lao Ding, didn't you tell me that Ruoyan had long wanted to meet his brother Chen Geng?

Lian Changheng decisively sold Comrade Lao Ding.

"Ruoyan is also here?" Chen Geng was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ding Haijun with a happy face.

Looking at the overjoyed Chen Geng, I don't know why, Ding Haijun always had a feeling that the little cabbage he had worked so hard to cultivate was about to be arched by a wild boar, and he endured the feeling that every farmer who raised the cabbage was extremely unhappy, Ding Haijun squeezed out a smile: "Yes, ......"

Lian Changheng took over the topic quietly, and said with a smile to Chen Geng: "The country understands us, and this year we gritted our teeth and squeezed out a little money to send our lover and children over for the New Year together." ”

Chen Geng didn't think there was anything wrong with this, it was not easy for comrades on the diplomatic front, and it was easy to stay abroad for a year or two, and the state squeezed out a little fund, so that the families of these comrades should reunite during the New Year, and said with a smile: "You didn't say it earlier, I knew that everyone was coming, and I should have prepared some New Year's gifts for everyone." ”

"No, no, brother, you're too polite......"

Without waiting for Lian Changheng to finish speaking, Chen Geng waved his hand, and after a little thought, he asked Lian Changheng: "Ambassador Lian, how many days will you stay in the United States this time?"

Lian Changheng said: "A week. ”

"A week?" Chen Geng was a little surprised: "Don't you wait until fifteen?"

"This ...... The country's funds are relatively limited......" Lian Changheng said with a wry smile.

I see!

As the Chinese embassy in the United States, the daily clothing, food, housing and transportation of the comrades here are squeezed out of the country's precious foreign exchange reserves, and all the dollars are spent.

In a word, it's all poor.

"A week," Chen Geng frowned: "I am also going to invite some friends to gather on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and when the time comes, please bring your wife and children over together, this ...... Ambassador Lian, can you tell your superiors about this situation?"

"This ...... Mr. Chen, what you said is true?" Lian Changheng hurriedly asked.

Although everyone knows that there are some twists and turns, if there is really a good reason for your lover and children to stay in the United States for a few more days, as long as this reason is reasonable...... That, of course, is to work hard.

"Of course it's true," Chen Geng nodded and said, "Our company is going to open another 20 computer hypermarkets in the United States, and we need to find some partners." ”

As for why this event was arranged on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Geng didn't say it, and everyone was smart and didn't ask: Just know it in your heart, what's the point of saying it?

Lian Changheng glanced at Comrade Lao Ding and immediately nodded: "Then I'll go back and report to the leaders." ”

————————————

What Chen Geng didn't know was how much of a sensation he had caused in China when he set up an international student fund to help Chinese students studying in the United States.

There are those who regret it: 1 million US dollars a year, if this money is invested in domestic economic construction, how much effect can it play?

Those who agree with it: With the annual $1 million and $6 per hour part-time opportunities, our students finally don't have to work so hard and overstretched outside, and can devote more energy to studying, return to China as soon as possible, and contribute to the development of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation......

Conspiracy theorists are also the same: What is the idea of a capitalist capitalist in a capitalist country who is so selfless and deliberately helps our students? There must be a conspiracy! Well, maybe he is corrupting and co-opting our students in this way......

But at the top level, every leader was shocked and moved by Chen Geng's move without exception.

Combined with what Chen Geng has done for this country and nation for more than a year, they can easily analyze the reason why Chen Geng did this: Chen Geng really loves this nation, and he does this so that these elites and the future of the country who are sent abroad to study can focus on their studies as much as possible, instead of worrying about three meals a day.

Therefore, after learning that some comrades were still looking at Chen Geng with such a gloomy view, the old man was furious, and in a certain speech, he criticized this phenomenon by name: "Imperialism is selfless and does not die, and this situation is a reality and deserves our vigilance, but what is our current focus? It is not class struggle, but efforts to develop the economy and science and technology, and to realize the four modernizations as soon as possible!"

I have heard that some comrades have recently had a lot of opinions about the international student fund set up by Mr. Chen Geng, saying that this is a tool for capitalism to win over and corrupt our comrades.

In my opinion, Mr. Chen Geng is a true patriot, the most patriotic overseas traveler after Mr. Meitang, and the actions of certain comrades have chilled the hearts of every overseas Chinese who hope that the country will become prosperous and strong......"

The old man's words made a final conclusion for Chen Geng and Chen Geng's international student foundation.

Who is Mr. Mido?

That is for the Anti-Japanese War, for the country, for the nation has made great contributions to the Chinese, after seeing the country's treatment of Mr. Meitang is also a common experience, now the old people think that Chen Geng is comparable to Mr. Meitang, this evaluation can not be higher.

Combined with the news that international students in the United States have successfully worked part-time in various industries in the United States, some of the previous statements disappeared without a trace in an instant.

For example, the Capital China Merchants Bureau sent a plan to build a large shopping mall on Chang'an Avenue to Chen Geng through Fernandez's car dismantling company in the capital, and asked Chen Geng if he was interested in the plan......

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the more far-reaching implications of this event have only just begun.

........................

"The capital is going to build a new western hypermarket on Chang'an Avenue?" Looking at the investment plan of the Capital China Merchants Bureau that was transferred to him, Chen Geng couldn't help laughing: "We are not high-commercial real estate, why did you find us here?"

Rosemary shrugged, "Boss, do you want me to turn them down?"

Chen Geng has no doubts about the profitability of this hypermarket, and he also understands why the capital will find him: if he is willing to invest, this hypermarket will become a "Sino-US joint venture".

Chen Geng is not a saint either, since everyone has Zhu Dongba to send the opportunity to the door, he has no polite reason, he nodded: "Ask them the detailed idea first, if you can, let's invest in dollars." ”
