Chapter 206 Different ways of thinking and doing things are also different
George's words are a cliché to Yang Weiye, but they give him hope for implementation, after all, although the Chinese were wealthy in the past, their demand for this aspect was not high, and it was impossible for them to contribute money to fund their own people to participate in the election, even if they had a long-term approval, there were only a few people, and their funding could not support their plans.
Now it is different from before, now they have gone through decades and hundreds of years of development, they have broken away from the previous category of "piglets", have their own life and life, during this period, they must have accumulated a lot of wealth, after having wealth, they have to ask for power from those in power, this is the unchanging truth since ancient times.
If George hadn't stirred up this topic today, he might still be thinking about how to mobilize those people and what actions to do to make the momentum bigger, but he didn't need it now, he just went back and told those people about the idea, and see what they decided to talk about next.
Although this will take a long time, things will be dragged on for a long time, but it is better to be safe, of course, you can also walk on two legs, do you do it together, as long as there is enough financial resources to support it, he can't think of any problems, after all, this is not anti-government, but just seeking the government to return the rights that originally belonged to him.
Cultivating one's own people is just an insurance, or it can be said that learning from those big consortia and big families are cultivating as their own spokespeople.
Thinking about this, a smile finally appeared on Yang Weiye's originally calm face, and the depression of the closed door that he encountered at Smith also dissipated.
"All the Chinese in the United States will support us, and before meeting Smith, they have contacted the New York Chinese Mutual Aid Association, but they have not yet given an accurate answer.
The reason why I mentioned it in front of Smith today is just because I think that he is already serving in Congress, and if we can get his support, it will save us a lot of tedious things.
Maybe I'm too wishful thinking, Smith represents the interests of the white people and his own family, how can he do what their ancestors decided together for the sake of us irrelevant people, I am too naïve, I forgot that everything in the United States is based on interests, and everything without interests is not to be discussed. ”
Yang Weiye looked at George, who was sitting there looking at him, although he had a smile on his face, but there was a trace of bitterness in this smile, he only thought that Smith was George's father, and the Chinese in Los Angeles also spontaneously supported him when he ran for state legislature, although he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone afterwards, but they didn't blame him.
Now I just hope that he can give them some help where he can, did he ask him to be the bird that came out, but who would have thought that such a small request was refused, if it wasn't for George speaking in time, he really didn't know how to continue.
After walking out of the living room and wandering around the manor for a while, he suddenly figured out that George himself had a very poor relationship with Smith, and he himself represented a force, and he actually thought of looking for him for help, without the support of interests, isn't this asking for trouble!
After understanding, Yang Weiye was a little reproachful for his recklessness, of course, more thinking about the interests that Smith said at the end.
As a person who has lived in the United States for more than 20 years, although he has spent very little time out of Chinatown, it does not mean that he does not understand the American political system.
In the past, he kept what he knew in theory, but now he has experienced first-hand the difficulties of practice and the directness of the Americans.
This kind of direct education is completely different from the education after thousands of years of Chinese disintegration, at this time he suddenly realized that although he became a naturalized American and became an American, he did not really understand the United States, and his companions may have the same feelings as himself to some extent.
"Don't have any illusions about Smith, he has the characteristics of most Americans, and he has a selfishness and cunning that many Americans don't have.
These politicians are different from business people, in their eyes credibility is not valuable, and it is the most normal thing for things to happen to them.
Interests are their ultimate pursuit, and only interests can open the door for them to make it convenient, and they will not unconditionally support us just because we are Americans.
They are not Chinese, they do not have the kind of thinking that the world is open, and American education and tradition have long been assimilated little by little by those behind the scenes through the subtle influence of public opinion, and have become beneficial to them.
Don't have any illusions about him, since you seek the support of the Chinese Mutual Aid Association, I think once they agree, you can also bring up the change.
For example, lawyers, let them look for loopholes or find some information, and file a lawsuit with the Supreme Court, asking them to repeal some unfavorable regulations and documents, which is the fastest way, but also the most unstable.
Once a lawsuit is filed, it will have to be brought against the entire U.S. government unit, which requires a very large amount of work and argumentation to complete,,,,,,"
Speaking of this, George suddenly stopped and did not continue, he knew that they would never agree to this, after all, once a lawsuit was filed, it might offend the entire American workplace, which was the last thing to do in the deep minds of the Chinese.
In the eyes of these immigrants of the first and second generations, it is the safest thing to achieve the results they want without offending the government.
Thinking of this, George shook his head with a chuckle, and eliminated this proposal in his heart, after all, not everyone is so fearless.
Americans can sue the government for a trivial matter, or even do whatever they need to do after winning the lawsuit, the law is part of their daily lives, and as long as they don't offend the consortium and the family behind the scenes, everything is a game in their eyes.
The Chinese are different, and the difference in thinking creates a difference in daily behavior, which is something that cannot be changed, unless they all change, precipitate, and become real Americans after one or two generations of development.
However, all this is impossible in George's mind, the Chinese like to get together, like to intermarry with their own people, communicate with their own people, and pass on their own living customs and culture from generation to generation.
Then George changed the topic and did not continue to communicate on this issue, he believed that those who began to promote and began to organize the Chinese to fight for their rights and interests are not low-minded, but their way of thinking has a little problem, which is not a big problem, after all, check and fill in the gaps, think about all the problems, have a complete plan, step by step to promote the completion, and be thoughtful is the advantage of the Chinese.
George doesn't think he's all-powerful, he only intervenes because he cares about Yang Weiye, but as long as Yang Weiye doesn't open his mouth, he will at most donate some money and make a gesture of support after the matter spreads, that's all.
