Today's Li Feng is not an ordinary person in his previous life, but a wealthy upstart who is gradually rising, and he has naturally heard of these organizations.

It's not that these organizations are so strong, but in fact, they are mainly a platform, a platform that can contact all sides, after all, people are social animals, aren't they.

Both the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Committee of 100 have heard of it, and even have been in contact with many of them, such as the architectural design master I.M. Pei, who has been in contact with and exchanged contact numbers.

was thinking about the invitation letter sent, but Li Feng received a call from I.M. Pei-Pei Lao, and it turned out that Li Feng's invitation letter to the 100-person meeting was proposed and recommended by Pei Lao himself.

Naturally, I.M. Pei also told Li Feng the reason for inviting him, and then said a lot about the situation of Chinese or Chinese Americans in the United States, the purpose of the Committee of 100, etc., hoping that Li Feng can be a role model for Chinese people in the United States.

On the phone, Li Feng also expressed his gratitude for his recommendation, and at the same time thanked the invitation of the Committee of 100, saying that he agreed to join the organization of the Committee of 100, and finally discussed the formalities, I.M. Pei said that there is a branch of the Committee of 100 in Los Angeles, and someone will come to help him go through the procedures tomorrow.

……

Through a phone call with I.M. Pei, I also have a simple understanding of Li Feng of the Committee of 100, rather than hearsay.

The Committee of 100 was once proposed by I.M. Pei, and was later established with the support of a large number of influential and well-known elites in the United States, including Yo-Yo Ma and Yang Xuelan.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that one person is a dragon and a group of people are worms, and 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 was famous, he found that Americans' understanding of the Chinese was almost still stuck in decades or even hundreds of years ago, and even in the 80s, American reporters once asked I.M. Pei whether Chinese were still smoking big cigarettes.

On the phone, when Li Feng heard I.M. Pei being asked like this, Li Feng told I.M. Pei on the phone that this was not Americans' habit of marijuana, leading to thinking that Chinese also smoke these things, causing I.M. Pei to laugh.

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

At that time, I.M. Pei had the idea of giving out the voice of the Chinese, thinking that the voice of an elite Chinese was small, but if it was 100 Chinese elites.

Immediately, I.M. Pei contacted some influential Chinese in the United States to discuss his ideas, and received the support of many well-known figures in the Chinese circle in the United States at that time, such as Yo-Yo Ma, Yang Xuelan, Tang Liuqian, Deng Zhaoxiang, etc.

……

I.M. Pei aside, some of the world's most famous architectural designs, such as "the last master of modern architecture" such a reputation has said it all.

Yo-Yo Ma is a world-renowned cellist who enjoys a reputation in both the United States and the world; Yang Xuelan is now the global vice president of General Motors, which is the American General Motors Group, and GM's influence is truly throughout the United States imperialism in all aspects, from military and political to economic. At the same time, his stepfather is Gu Weijun, who is known as the 'first person in the diplomacy of the Republic of China', and enjoys a good reputation all over the world.

Tang Liuqian is also a figure, a director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and a well-known figure in the upper echelons of New York, and Deng Zhaoxiang is a Wall Street figure and financial expert.

It can be said that the starting point of the Committee of 100 is very high, and it is an elite organization, and each member alone enjoys a prestigious name, and now the Committee of 100 has become one of the most influential organizations in the Chinese circle in the United States.

The invitation of the Committee of 100 is very strict, and only those Chinese elites who have great influence and popularity in the United States are invited.

From 40 people at the beginning of its establishment to nearly 100 people today, every year the 100 people will select Chinese elite talents to join in the United States, and each joining talent needs the recommendation of members and can only receive an invitation letter after passing the review.

Coincidentally, several of the people invited to this year's 100-person meeting are closely related to Li Feng.

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

Another is Wu Jianmin, the president of East West Bank, who has now begun to expand to the Chinese American community, and with the merger and acquisition of two small banks in a row this year, it has begun to go out of the Chinese community, Wu Jianmin's East West Bank has naturally attracted a wave of attention in the industry.

As the leader of a bank, Wu Jianmin has also attracted the attention of the Committee of 100, and this year he was also invited by the Committee of 100.

……

In addition to the Committee of 100, Li Feng also mentioned it to I.M. Pei about the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but Pei said that the 100-person Association did not conflict with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and also persuaded Li Feng to join the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and also said that he was also a member of the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and said that the architectural design firm he established was also a member of the businessmen.

At the same time, he also told Li Feng about the situation of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, saying that this is the largest Chinese organization in the United States, and it can be said that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has been involved in 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 has maintained contact and cooperation with Chinese chambers of commerce all over the world, and if you trace the history, it may be hundreds of years, and even with the early Chinese community Hongmen, etc., there are intersections and great influence, after all, wealth can always connect the Quartet.

Through some communication with I.M. Pei, a master architect, I have a further intuitive understanding of the Chinese in the United States.

Speaking of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Li Feng only knew one before, and that was the Huashang Daily, after all, Li Feng would read the Huashang Daily every day, which is the largest Chinese newspaper in the United States.

To be honest, it's also strange that Li Feng rose so fast that others couldn't react, the headquarters of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the United States is in Los Angeles, 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 headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce is, and he can only blame Li Feng for being lonely and unheard.

……

Next, I naturally got in touch with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles, and at the same time explained that I agreed to join the Chamber of Commerce as a member, and got a reply from the Chamber of Commerce, saying that someone would be arranged to come to the door tomorrow, well, like the Association of 100, there are certain procedures.

Judging from what Li Feng has come into contact with after living in the United States, the Chinese and ethnic Chinese of the United States are also divided into upper and lower classes, and the upper echelons often look down on the lower class Chinese.

Even many Chinese communities in the United States are stratified into two layers, some of which are mostly inhabited by the so-called upper class, and a large number of Chinese communities are of a slum nature, all of which are too loose.

Moreover, Li Feng also knows that with the rise of the land of China, all kinds of Chinese and Chinese organizations will continue to rise all over the world in the future, and even many of them will be indiscriminate, so although there are many Chinese communities, their influence in the United States is almost none.

Speaking of minority communities, Li Feng can't help but think of Jewish communities, Jews in the United States are indeed united, Li Feng has learned a lot of examples of Jews helping each other, once made Li Feng feel that it is no wonder that Jews can occupy an important position in the United States and even the world.
