"Liza, do you know how many Chinese there are in the United States?" Xiao Bushi took a glass of whiskey and took a sip.

Condoleezza Rice said without hesitation: "According to the '96 census, there were about 3.5 million Chinese Americans in the United States. ”

For the average person, few people have a clear idea of the number of minorities, but Rice is clearly not one of them.

If you want to be a good campaign manager, it's just the basics.

Xiao Bushi nodded and said, "Three and a half million people, and the current population of the United States is 270 million, accounting for about 。。。。。。 ”

Rice added: "About 1.3 percent. ”

Xiao Bushi grinned: "Yes, one hundred and three percent, Liza, your math is as good as that of the Huaxia people." The number of Chinese may not seem large, but the total population of the United States is already the second largest minority after Mexicans and Jews. ”

Condoleezza Rice smiled, "Yes, you're right. However, the votes of Chinese Americans are not so easy to win, and the voter turnout rate of Chinese Americans is very low, and the voter turnout rate is generally less than 1 percent in ordinary elections, and it is difficult to exceed 10 percent even in general elections. ”

Xiao Bushi nodded and smiled: "You're right, but what I want to say is not a vote." ”

It's not a ballot? What is it? Rice couldn't help but pout.

"Votes are only one of the most important types of political power. Xiao Bushi's eyes were deep, "Moreover, the low turnout is only the result, not the reason." ”

Rice was a little confused by the little bush, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Bushi smiled: "There is Caesar Chavez of Mexican origin, there is Bella of Indian origin, and there is Ken Inoue of Japanese origin... The population of these ethnic groups in the United States is not as large as that of Chinese Americans, but have you ever heard of the emergence of appealing ethnic leaders in the United States?"

Condoleezza Rice's face suddenly became serious.

Rice really hadn't thought about the question of Little Bush.

Indeed, although there have been some elites among the Chinese, such as Hawaii's first Chinese-American senator Youliang Kwong and Chennault's wife Chen Xiangmei. But they have never been able to reach the entire Chinese class, and it is difficult to call them ethnic leaders.

The crow's feet at the corners of Xiao Bushi's eyes were even more profound: "If any ethnic group wants to gain a foothold in the United States and have its own status, it must have one or has had a real ethnic leader. Ethnic minorities themselves have small populations, and if there is no leader of the ethnic group who unifies the opinions of all and gathers them into one force, then this minority will not be able to gain more benefits in the United States, which is the biggest problem facing Chinese Americans at present. ”

"You're saying that he introduced the Chinese Exclusion Act in order to become a leader of the Chinese community?" Condoleezza Rice was a little incredulous, "You think too much, don't you? He's not even twenty years old, he's just a child." ”

Xiao Bushi pursed his lips: "The child who became a world-class rich man from scratch before the age of twenty?"

Condoleezza Rice was speechless for a while, because of Shanatanu's relationship, even though she had long known about Zhang Chen's achievements, she always regarded Zhang Chen as a junior in her subconscious.

But in fact, the other party is the richest person who has entered the top 15 of the Forbes list!

The United States is a thoroughly capitalist empire, and capital represents status, power, justice, and everything!

What about the president? He is just a spokesman for the top conglomerates, just a spokesman standing in front of the stage. Any top billionaire in the United States has a social status and power that is not inferior to that of the president of the United States.

After the president leaves office, he still has to make money by publishing books and speeches as a director of a large company, to put it bluntly, he still lives on these rich people, and it is not necessarily who has a higher status than whom.

Rice used to think that Zhang Chen's attitude towards Xiao Bushi was too arrogant, but now that he thinks about it, Zhang Chen is neither humble nor arrogant at most.

"Jebb, Prescott should be graduating from college right away, right? Um, um, graduate student at Austin? Yes, yes, I have a suggestion, before I went to Austin, I put him in touch with a three-month internship, the legal department of an investment firm on the West Coast。。。。。。 No, believe me, it's good for him。。。。。。 Okay, you ask him to call me. ”

Rice knew that Xiao Bushi was on the phone with his younger brother Jebu Bushi, and just at the dinner table, Xiao Bushi finally mentioned to Zhang Chen that his nephew George Prescott Bushi is now studying law at Rice University in Houston and is about to graduate from college, hoping to go to Tinder Source for an internship for a while.

Prescott is the leader of the third generation of the Busch family, handsome and well-graduated, a man of the year at Rice University, and now he is running for the position of Republican National Youth Chairman, and is the natural third-generation helmsman of the Busch family.

Xiao Bushi sent the most promising heir of his family to go to the Tinder Source for a three-month internship, which shows that he attaches great importance to Zhang Chen, and it seems that he really wants to tie Zhang Chen to his chariot.

——————————————————

San Diego, Southern California.

On the turquoise sea, a 108-foot yacht is docked, standing on the bow deck, with a distant view of the horizon and the size of an ant.

"In a week, the Nasdaq has lost $100 billion in market capitalization and is still falling, and from a risk control perspective, I think we should optimize our position structure appropriately. The Ministry of Commerce announced last Wednesday that the first phase of Microsoft's antitrust investigation has been completed, and it has preliminarily judged that Microsoft has monopolistic behavior, market uncertainty has increased, and the Nasdaq may burst a bubble at any time. Dressed in a floral shirt and beach pants and a pair of beach shoes on her feet, Blankefen's baldness was shiny from the fierce Southern California sun.

"At your request, Cowys bought another $75 million in tech stocks last week, which flattened out some of the costs but also caused dissatisfaction among investors. You also received the joint email sent by 35 investors the day before yesterday, right? If the NASDAQ continues to fall, it will be difficult for us to explain to investors the return rate for this quarter. Belrankefen sat on the recliner next to Zhang Chen, leaned slightly to the side, picked up an apple, and took a bite.

After Bellankefen finished speaking, he didn't get a response from Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen wore a pair of sunglasses on his face to block the sun, and he couldn't see his expression, only knowing that he was staring intently at a fishing rod in his hand.

The head of the rod sank slightly, and then there was a violent swing, Zhang Chen quickly lifted the fishing rod, pulled the reel, and shouted loudly: "Lauerde, help!"

Bellankefen also came to his senses, and hurriedly got up to help Zhang Chen control the fishing rod together, and knew from the force from the rod that this was a big guy.

This hooked fish is very cunning, dragging the line around in circles, that is, the yacht is big enough. Ordinary fishing boats may be entangled in fishing lines.

Zhang Chen's response is also very calm, once the fish pulls the line outward, he will never pull back, let the hooked fish jump in the sea, wait until the fish is tired, and then shake the line control violently to pull the fish closer.

went back and forth like this, and was almost unhooked by this fish several times during this period, but fortunately, Zhang Chen's physical strength was enough, otherwise he would have really let this fish run away.

After fighting with this sea creature for more than forty minutes, the strength on the fishing rod gradually weakened, and the fishing line was almost closed, Zhang Chen suddenly mentioned it, and a big fish full sixty or seventy centimeters long appeared on the surface of the sea.

“Bingo。 Zhang Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned, "Lauerde, it's only the first round now, be patient." ”
