Chapter 380: Bencheng Meets San Francisco? (1st Update)
When Su Wenjin and Zhang Guoqiang saw GMC, they were shocked by the huge body of this car and the spacious and luxurious space layout of the interior.
"How much does this car cost?" Zhang Guoqiang was dumbfounded, and then felt that it was easy for his son to misunderstand when he said this, and explained, "I'm not saying that you spend money indiscriminately, you still have to spend it, but isn't it too ostentatious to buy this car?"
Zhang Chen laughed and said: "Dad, I am an investor in the United States, and this car is already low-key." I usually use it to pick up and drop off customers, but I use it occasionally when I go to play. ”
"And this car looks quite big, but it's not expensive, it's a luxury model, and it's more than 80,000 US dollars, which is much cheaper than my Mercedes-Benz. ”
"Playing ball? It's a sport, but if you play basketball and drive such a big car, you might as well run two steps. Zhang Guoqiang was not used to someone helping him carry his luggage, so he smiled at Zhang Chen's driver in the United States, Frank, refused the other party's help, and muttered while moving the big suitcase to the back of the car.
Zhang Chen naturally couldn't let his father do it, and said while taking the luggage in his father's hand: "It's not basketball, it's golf." ”
"Golf?" Zhang Guoqiang was completely speechless, he had also heard of golf in China, and there was a golf course in Bincheng half a year ago, and now a second one is being built.
After he became the Chinese general manager of Coloto Industries, there were also some suppliers or local connections who wanted to get close to him, asking him if he could play, and popularizing some golf knowledge for him. Ask the price again, good guy, the practice range is two hundred per hour, and the average player is one thousand yuan per game.
Not to mention that if you join the club, you need to pay membership fees, annual fees, and a lot of messy fees, and the new golf course in Bincheng is still under construction, and the permanent membership fee is now advertised to be 200,000 yuan, and it is said that it may not be able to grab it.
Is a grade 8 worker's monthly salary not enough to play a game? Zhang Guoqiang couldn't help but be a little speechless.
After all, Zhang Guoqiang has not adapted to the living habits of the so-called high-end business people, no matter how others persuade him, he also feels that it is not worth spending so much money to play a ball, and he will not mix with these people.
Before Su Wenjin and Zhang Guoqiang came, Zhang Chen told them not to bring too much luggage, there is everything here, and it is a waste to bring it.
Fortunately, Su Wenjin had a big belly and really couldn't take too many things, otherwise Zhang Chen would have said it in vain.
After getting into the car, Zhang Chen put down the privacy glass and persuaded Zhang Guoqiang, "Dad, you should also accept new things, this time you come over, I will take you to play two games of golf, feel it, golf is not as you think, it is actually a very good sport." Even if you don't talk about business on the course, you have nothing to do to practice two strokes, which is pretty good. ”
Zhang Guoqiang still shook his head, but didn't say anything more.
Compared with these miscellaneous things, Su Wenjin is more concerned about other things, "Son, I heard that if you give birth to a child in the United States, the child is automatically an American citizen, is it true?"
Zhang Chen smiled: "It's true, Mom, do you want to be born in the United States?"
Zhang Guoqiang shook his head: "Don't listen to your mother's scare, do a good job in China, why do you have to go to the United States to have a baby?"
Su Wenjin pouted: "Lao Xu and the two of them have been hacking here for five years before they got a green card, I gave birth to a child in the United States, and the child is automatically American, and people can't ask for it, so you have a lot to do." ”
In this era, if anyone goes abroad, becomes a naturalized citizen, and is an American, he will basically become an enviable existence in his domestic social circle.
Moreover, the atmosphere at this time was like this, and the state would not propagate any arguments such as immigrants being traitors, but repeatedly publicized the contributions of overseas Chinese to the country. In addition, the country is really poor, and people are often envious and jealous of their relatives and friends who have immigrated abroad, but they will not hate it.
The money earned from researching artificial satellites in China for a year is not as good as the money earned by brushing a plate for a month in the United States, and this is the social reality of this era.
In this case, the cost of talking about patriotism is really too high.
But it is precisely because of this that those international students who were born in poverty and could have stayed abroad to live a good life that the Chinese people thought were good after going abroad with their talents, but they adhered to a patriotic heart and resolutely returned to China to contribute their own strength to the construction of the country, and such talents are more worthy of the admiration of every Chinese person.
Some people return to China and become leaders in certain fields, which is indeed better in the long run than staying abroad. But there are also some people who do not get the space to display their talents after returning to China, so they do nothing.
But this choice is only a difference in life circumstances, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, and for respectable souls, even if they do not achieve dazzling results, it does not affect the greatness of their personality.
People who can put their ideals into action and dedicate their lives to their lives are great.
Su Wenjin This is another situation, Zhang Chen does not recommend Su Wenjin to stay in the United States to have children.
The reason is not that love is not patriotic, but that it is not necessary.
But if Su Wenjin insists, he will not object, even if Su Wenjin is his mother, he does not want to interfere with his mother's choice.
Moreover, although the Chinese law does not allow dual nationality, it also stipulates that a child who has acquired the nationality of another country in the country of birth, and one of the parents is Chinese, can choose the Chinese nationality again when he reaches the age of 18, if he does not choose, he will automatically leave the Chinese nationality, and before the age of 18, the national treatment of the child is recognized, and even the household registration can be registered.
There is no need to find acquaintances to apply for fake documents in violation of regulations, and there is a corresponding policy for getting a set of ID cards or something in China.
Zhang Chen smiled: "Actually, I think it's all the same." If you're willing to give birth here, it's either impossible or troublesome, but I don't think it's necessary. ”
Su Wenjin had a question: "Why?"
Zhang Chen smiled confidently: "Mom, do you think it will matter if you and my younger brother or sister are Chinese or American in another ten years? Even if one day he can't stay in China, it will be very easy for him to apply for investment immigration, so why worry now? And if you give birth to a child in the United States and raise it according to the domestic education method, you may be called by a neighbor within two months, saying that you abused the child and deprived you of your guardianship." ”
Su Wenjin snorted: "I care about my children, what kind of police should the neighbors call the police?
Zhang Chen laughed twice: "Look, don't say that when I was a child, just a few years ago, when I was just in junior high school, I was disobedient, and you raised your hand to shine on the back of my head." If this were to be placed in the United States, you would definitely be sentenced to child abuse. ”
Zhang Chen saw that Su Wenjin didn't believe it, and said with a straight face: "Mom, don't be careless, I also want to tell you about the precautions caused by the differences between China and the United States, which is also one of them." Lao Mei's education method is completely different from that in China, and it is not possible to talk about who is good and who is bad, but here, corporal punishment is really illegal, and once it is reported, it is really possible to go to prison or even be deprived of guardianship. ”
"Wasn't there a case that caused a sensation a few years ago, that is, an old Chinese medicine doctor came to the United States to see his daughter and found that his grandson was on fire, so he took a gua sha board to scrape his grandson. Then an old beauty saw the red mark on the child's back, thinking that his grandfather was abusing the child, just like the police called the police, and the police really arrested the old man. So, don't underestimate these differences, maybe something that you don't care about in China is a felony here. ”
Su Wenjin and Zhang Guoqiang looked at each other, not knowing whether what their son said was true or not. It's also too scary, shave a sha, and actually go to jail.
Zhang Chen continued: "Also, if you meet a police officer and he tells you not to move, you really don't move, don't take out your jacket pocket or trouser pocket, otherwise he will think that you have the intention of attacking the police, as long as you have extra actions, he has the right to shoot, and many people will die in the United States every year." ”
"Also, if you give birth in the United States, you don't do confinement here, you happen to be born in June, and the air conditioning in the hospital is 24 hours a day, which can freeze people to death, and there is no such rule that you are not allowed to open the window or take a bath. It's science, but you don't really have to adapt to it. ”
Zhang Chen This can be regarded as a white lie, with his current wealth, it is no problem to have a child and find a private doctor. For the sake of safety, going to the hospital must also be the best medical conditions, and it is impossible to make Su Wenjin so miserable.
