Chapter 90: The American-Chinese Association I
In the following two days, Li Guangyu dealt with some affairs of various groups in the United States, as well as the design studio established by the apparel group in the United States.
On May 23, when Li Guangyu came to the Great Western Forum Arena, Peng Xiaoli said to Li Guangyu: "Mr. Li Sheng, Mr. Wang Heng, President of the California Chapter of the American-Chinese Association, invites you to attend the cocktail party held by their branch at 8 p.m. tomorrow night. ”
Li Guangyu didn't know much about the American-Chinese Association, and said to Peng Xiaoli: "Do you know anything about this association?"
"Li Sheng, after I received a call from Mr. Wang Heng, I went to inquire. The US-China Association was established in 1973 by Mr. Wang Gongli and several Chinese elites to unite the Chinese forces, promote the participation of Chinese in politics in the United States, and improve the status of the Chinese. Currently, Mr. Wang also serves as the director of the U.S. Bureau of Mines. Peng Xiaoli said.
After hearing this, Li Guangyu also admired these people, and it was impossible for the United States to be able to reach such a high position without being a top elite talent. I also support the purpose of the association, in the United States, this society can only develop well if the Chinese are united, and the recurrence of racial discrimination in the United States is not an empty word.
Li Guangyu said: "You go and reply to Mr. Wang Heng, I will definitely attend this reception on time tomorrow night." ”
"Okay Li Sheng, I'll go and reply to Mr. Wang Heng. Peng Xiaoli said.
Li Guangyu seemed to have something in mind, and said to Peng Xiaoli: "You and I will attend this reception tomorrow night, and learn more about these Chinese elites at the dinner, which will be of great help to your future work in the United States." ”
Peng Xiaoli didn't expect Li Guangyu to let her accompany him to attend this cocktail party, and she was naturally willing to go to the dinner.
"Got it, Li Sheng, I'll prepare well. Peng Xiaoli replied.
After talking to Peng Xiaoli, Li Guangyu came to the side of the Kings (NHL), and Li Guangyu didn't know much about ice hockey. It just so happens that he has been staying in Los Angeles for the past few days, and as a team under his own, Li Guangyu feels that he still needs to understand it.
At half past six the next night, Li Guangyu and Peng Xiaoli left the company and rushed to the Millennium Hotel, accompanied by Du Yonghong and others, where tonight's cocktail party will be held.
At half past seven, Li Guangyu arrived at the Millennium Hotel, and under the guidance of a staff member of the association, Li Guangyu and Peng Xiaoli came to the banquet hall.
At this time, Wang Heng, the chairman of the branch, walked over to Li Guangyu, came to Li Guangyu and said, "Mr. Li, Ms. Peng, thank you for being able to attend this reception. ”
Li Guangyu said politely: "Mr. Wang, it is also our honor to be invited to attend this reception, and we also hope to meet the Chinese elites in the United States." On the side of the United States, only when we Chinese are united can we achieve better development. ”
Wang Heng was very happy to hear Li Guangyu say this, and said to Li Guangyu: "Mr. Li, what you said is very good, our association was established precisely because of the situation of our Chinese in the United States, just to hope that the Chinese can unite and improve the status of our Chinese in the United States. ”
When Li Guangyu was about to say something, Wang Heng spoke: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, you can take a walk around the banquet hall, I still have to welcome the guests." ”
"It's okay, Mr. Wang is going to be busy with you, Ms. Peng and I will meet the elites from all walks of life who are here today in the banquet hall. Li Guangyu said.
After Li Guangyu finished speaking, Wang Heng walked towards the guests who had just walked into the banquet hall, Li Guangyu looked over, it turned out that this person Li Guangyu still knew. It was Chen Zhengchang, chairman of Jufengyuan, and the lady next to him should be his wife.
Li Guangyu and Peng Xiaoli walked towards the relatively quiet place of the banquet hall, and now Li Guangyu does not need to introduce himself to people he doesn't know in the past. Although Li Guangyu is here to get to know more people and accumulate some contacts. But that was introduced by others, or people came to him to introduce himself, not Li Guangyu to introduce himself to others.
When Li Guangyu and Peng Xiaoli didn't sit down for long, a man in his twenties walked towards Li Guangyu.
"Li Sheng, hello, I didn't expect to see you here. ”
Li Guangyu didn't know this one, and replied: "Hello." ”
"My name is Cheng Shouzhong, and my father is the founder of Xiangjiang Cheng's Garment. Cheng Shouzhong said.
Since Li Guangyu has always been engaged in the garment industry before, he is still relatively clear about the companies in the garment industry in Xiangjiang. Cheng's Garment is also located in Sham Shui Po, with an estimated market capitalisation of HK$100 million.
Li Guangyu said: "You sit, I didn't expect to see our elites from Xiangjiang here." ”
Cheng Shouzhong sat down opposite Li Guangyu and said: "In the past two years, Li Sheng's development has been widely spread in Xiangjiang, and my father often asks me to learn from Li Sheng?"
Li Guangyu also knows that the second generation of various families in Xiangjiang is a bit sad, and they are often used by the elders to educate them with Li Guangyu's example.
"Your father was too complimentary, and he was lucky. Li Guangyu said modestly.
Maybe his father said too much, today I saw Li Guangyu real person, Cheng Shouzhong said to him: "Li Sheng, I really have no interest in clothing, but my father thinks that I will go back to take over." ”
Li Guangyu found that Cheng Shouzhong was very powerful, and many people fought for the inheritance of the family industry. He's good, and he's not willing to let him go back and take over.
"Oh, what industry is Cheng Sheng going to do?" asked Li Guangyu.
Cheng Shouzhong may be a little under a lot of pressure from his family, and now that he heard Li Guangyu ask, he also wanted to confide in Li Guangyu, if Li Guangyu could support his decision, he would be able to better convince his father.
"I graduated from Brown University with a degree in electrical engineering last year, and now I'm pursuing a master's degree in electrical engineering at the California Institute of Technology, and I will be able to get my master's degree this year," Cheng said. I'm not interested in the apparel industry, I'm more interested in chip design. ”
Li Guangyu heard him say this, he really admired it, he was able to get a master's degree in one year, which is not something that ordinary people can sit on, and he also likes to engage in chip design, which is definitely a top talent. It's a pity that Li Guangyu doesn't have a foundation in this area at present, otherwise he would directly recruit Cheng Shouzhong to his own company.
"Cheng Sheng, if you really like the electronics industry, then you can do it towards your ideals. If you have any pressure from your father, I can help you talk about it. Li Guangyu said.
Cheng Shouzhong is very happy that Li Guangyu supports him to engage in the electronics industry he likes, and with Li Guangyu's support, his father will no longer force him to go back to Xiangjiang to inherit the family business.
"Thank you Li Sheng for your support to me, I believe that my development in this area will not be worse than that of my family's garment company. Cheng Shouzhong said confidently.
"I also believe that you can achieve great things in this industry, if you have anything here, you can contact Ms. Peng, I think she can help you solve some troubles. Li Guangyu said.
When Peng Xiaoli heard Li Guangyu say this, she immediately handed out her business card and said to Cheng Shouzhong: "Cheng Sheng, you can contact me at any time if you have anything, if you can solve it, I will help you deal with it, and if I can't solve it, I will report to Li Sheng immediately." ”
Cheng Shouzhong accepted Peng Xiaoli's business card and said, "Thank you Li Sheng, thank you Ms. Peng." ”
