Chapter 400: Begin
Ye Dongqing lives a luxurious life that people dream of, and it is simply an unattainable dream for ordinary people.
He knew that he could not represent the Chinese, because the vast majority of Chinese Americans living in the United States were still struggling to make a living, working at the bottom of society, and being marginalized by society.
America is never a paradise, for many people of color, only children who often cry have milk, blacks make the most trouble, and even go bankrupt in Detroit, but they can still enjoy more preferential treatment, and even teachers will give students with typical black name characteristics to give more points.
In recent years, many Chinese from all over the world have poured into the United States, and the number has increased.
Don't think that their lives are so good, the United States is certainly a money-first country, suitable for rich people to live, but the vast majority of immigrants are a little rich small middle class, immigration means the loss of most of the original fixed sources of income, coupled with high life pressure, language barriers, etc., will directly lead to many new immigrants consumption downgrade, the quality of life is a few grades lower than in the original country, can only engage in some low-level manual labor, and there is not much security.
This is their own choice, although Ye Dongqing is a little confused, but he will not interfere with anything, in fact, in his opinion, living in a rapidly developing country, the opportunities are far greater than those of the United States, the class in the United States has long been solidified, his success is just an accident, more Americans can't even pay a thousand dollars, and they live a little miserable.
For the first time, I stood in the perspective of the Chinese and sought the welfare of my compatriots.
The process went more smoothly than expected.
After leaving the city hall, Ye Dongqing asked his assistant to invite a few elites from all walks of life who were more famous in Downtown's Chinatown to come over and meet with him, and take the time to talk about what kind of request to make, as long as it was not too much, most of them could ask Mayor Bloomberg to help solve it.
The strength of that old man is not small, some people don't know who the governor of New York is, but almost everyone knows that he is a clean and capable super-rich mayor, even the current "Mr. Bodybuilder" governor of California, compared with him, he is a big step behind.
Helping is casual, even if you don't help others, you are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks, after all, you don't owe anything to others.
Some people often say that Ye Dongqing made the first pot of gold by absorbing funds from Chinatown, but in fact, it was just a simple business, and the initial fundraising was not less regarded as a fraudulent company.
Nothing.
Ye Dongqing took a car to Chinatown and stopped at the door of the dilapidated small building where he lived with his parents.
There is no elevator, you can only walk to the second floor, the walls are all kinds of small advertisements, layer after layer, tattered and dusty, if you can find small advertisements in the seventies of the last century from the bottom, Ye Dongqing will not be surprised.
Repairing water pipes, drilling holes, repairing furniture, cleaning, etc., you can watch with relish, and occasionally you can see a photo of a beautiful woman with "home massage" written next to it, and there is a phone number.
When I came back last time, I left a message saying that I would spend a lot of money to buy the house back, and then the new landlord really agreed to come down and successfully completed the transaction, but Ye Dongqing never came to see it once after buying it, and today is no exception, just standing at the staircase, looking out the window at the dilapidated old building smoking a cigarette, listening to the scolding from upstairs, and the crying of children downstairs, recalling the past.
He didn't want everything to change when he went in, so he might as well just close the door and let everything good stay in his memory.
Occasionally, a resident went out and saw them in a group of strong men in black suits, thinking that they were coming to collect debts or doing something, so they hurriedly went back and gently closed the door, for fear that something would happen, and someone called the police.
Of course, it was a misunderstanding, when the two old policemen arrived, they saw Ye Dongqing's face smiling brighter than a flower......
"Don't let anyone tell you that you can't make it, not even me.
If you have a dream, you have to defend it, try to achieve it, those who have achieved nothing always want to tell you that you can't achieve great things, it may be your teacher who says this kind of thing, or it may be your friends who say this kind of thing, no matter who it is, anyway, if you have an ideal, you have to spend 100% energy to work hard, that's all. ”
Ye Dongqing sat at the dining table and said to Zhao Liuli seriously.
The little girl who was "picked up" by him is almost twelve years old, and she has begun to develop her own habits of thinking, just now Zhao Liuli told him that he wants to be a zoologist in the future, and protect the creatures on this planet as Ye Dongqing said to people, but he doesn't know whether it will work or not, Ye Dongqing is helping her cheer up.
Very good ideals, at least more realistic than those girls of the same age who become stars, princesses, etc., and there is a tortoise park on the island recently, raising more than 20 huge tortoises, plus other animals, which is probably the root of Zhao Liuli's ideals.
The little girl didn't understand well, so she just nodded at the moment and replied: "I will try my best to get admitted to a university that offers this kind of major, and the teachers told me that several species disappear from the earth forever every day, mainly because of human activities." ”
"Maybe I can give you a zoo in the future, so you can help endangered animals continue to reproduce, some of which are not quite capable of reproducing and adapting enough to recover their populations naturally. ”
Ye Dongqing continued.
With a huge amount of money and $350 million in money from several companies, his philanthropic efforts have begun to take shape, recruiting like-minded new employees through executive search firms, and negotiating with several poorly run and underfunded animal and plant sanctuaries to have his charitable trust take over the day-to-day management and operation of the future.
The development and research work of new energy, new drugs and other projects may not start in a short period of time, and some people are helping him to investigate in Texas and New Mexico, trying to find suitable land for afforestation activities, and use forests to cultivate forests in the future to achieve sustainable development.
It's not that you just burn money, you can't get in and out, "sustainability" is also the focus of Ye Dongqing's consideration, the best way is to create and learn a new model, achieve long-term operation under the premise of doing your best, and drive other wealthy people and official organizations to join in, and eventually form a wider range of influence.
This takes a long time to complete, and Ye Dongqing has been personally watching it recently, and has continuously started tentative cooperative relations with multiple organizations, in order to integrate more resources and avoid wasting time and money......
