Chapter 652: An Obstacle That Can't Be Broken

When Link became the richest man in the world, whether others wanted to admit it or not, he had become a benchmark for Chinese Americans.

Fuz currently serves as the vice president of the 100 Association. He was a little helpless about Link, a benchmark figure who was basically separated from the Chinese American world. However, Link took the initiative to contact them this time, which made him a little undecided.

Although the Chinese are one race, the Committee of 100 also claims to represent the interests of the Chinese as a whole. However, although the Committee of 100 is not a political party, in fact, it only represents the interests of the top Chinese in the United States.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with that. Now the thinking of the Chinese is that only when the Chinese at the top are established in the United States, can the Chinese fight for fairness in the United States.

In order to achieve this goal, the people contacted by the 100 will of course be the top Chinese. But the top Chinese who have no selfishness and want to really twist these people into a rope, hundreds of people will not be able to make a lot of efforts, but the effect is not very good.

People in various industries have their own interests. It's hard to agree with everyone's minds. Link is an example of this.

Fuz came to California so late because he needed to communicate with the rest of the Committee of 100. It can be said that he had no plan to make it easy for Link.

But since Link is in San Francisco, he can talk to Link as well.

Fuz arrived in San Francisco the next morning, and instead of immediately talking to the members of the Committee of 100 in the west, he and Fan Zhongkun went directly to the hotel to meet Link.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Fu Z got to the point first.

"Link, I personally support you in implementing an unmanned logistics system. I don't know exactly what support you need, though. Or rather, can our support make a difference? ”

Link smiled and said, "President Fu, I know that there are many Chinese who are engaged in transportation now. I hope they will be on my side. "He was not polite either, and he was straight to the point. "As for how effective it will be, I don't have much hope. ”

When Fu Zi heard what he said, he couldn't help but nod his head and said, "Maybe we have the same idea." The strength of the Chinese in all walks of life is not very strong. ”

Link smiled and said, "No, at least in the food industry, it's still very powerful. "Chinese restaurants are quite popular in the U.S. right now. It was indeed a very good industry for Chinese Americans.

"That's relative to the industry. Link talked about the catering industry, and Fan Zhongkun, who is in the catering industry, has more to say. "In fact, our Chinese food market share in the U.S. food industry is still not high. Now the best development is Panda fast food. But even if it were, its global revenue was only three or four billion dollars. That's not enough for a fraction of your annual income. ”

Link smiled and said, "But the total revenue scale of the Chinese in the catering industry is still very large. He paused, then turned back to the point. "President Fu, supporting the unmanned logistics system will actually not make the Chinese people who do transportation logistics have losses, and even let them get greater benefits, and they will not pay too much practical things to support me. ”

Fuz doesn't think so: "Link. What you say makes sense in theory. But we need to consider the entire industry environment. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "In the transportation industry, there are various unions. In the last century, not many of us Chinese were engaged in the transportation industry. However, after entering the 21st century, the employment situation in the United States has deteriorated many times, which has forced many Chinese to adapt to the work of long-distance transportation. Especially after the number of new immigrants increased, the number of Chinese who ran transportation also increased. A number of logistics companies of varying sizes have also been established. But their voice in the industry is still very low. Had to join those unions. ”

Link understood what Fuz meant by this. He nodded and said, "I understand." ”

He does understand. Unless the Chinese logistics company did not join the union, or the drivers hired were all Chinese, they would have supported him before the truckers' union took a stand. Their business will definitely be greatly affected.

If it is a Chinese driver, the consequences are even more serious. If they are expelled from the union, there is no way to get support.

He thought for a moment and said, "Aren't they going to integrate and form a bigger company? Bigger companies can be more scientific in terms of competition and resource allocation." ”

"It's a question of who's going to do the head. ”

"What if I'm going to take the lead?"

"You?"

"Yes, I'll take the lead. Link said, holding up his index finger. "Money, I have. I can make the company grow faster. I also have the goods, the customers of the Benihans Group, we can be more competitive in this area. Technology, I also have, we can get them out of higher and higher labor costs, and at the same time make the vehicles more efficient. ”

Fu Zi didn't understand: "But what do you need us to do in this matter?"

Fan Zhongkun was also a little puzzled by Link's words: "Link, you can talk to them directly about such a thing!"

Link didn't answer and asked, "President Fu, Lao Fan, do you think there is a big difference between the number of Chinese and Jews in the United States?"

"We're a little bit less populous. ”

Link nodded and continued: "I know that the color of the Jews has a big advantage, but they can stand at the top of the United States, and we Chinese can only be at the bottom of the United States, and I don't think skin color is the most important issue. It is the foundation on which the Jews can stand. ”

Fuz certainly understands why.

There are, of course, objective reasons why Jews have been able to gain a foothold in the United States. The Jews who first came to the United States later influenced American politics through the banking industry. For example, when the United States entered World War II, and absorbed a large number of Jews. Many of the Jews who were later brought to America were scientists, and Jews became a force to be reckoned with in the American scientific community.

These are all things that the Chinese do not have. In modern times, Jews stand at the top of the United States because they have too much economic influence over the United States.

Their interests have become completely entangled with whites. And they themselves have a lot of economic power.

Then there is the fact that the Jews have never fought for any direct political advantage.

The Chinese want to improve their standing in the United States. However, the existence of the Chinese Exclusion Act, as well as the existence of skin color discrimination, has never given the Chinese a chance to truly develop themselves in the United States.

Without a political foundation, economic status cannot be supported. This is the current situation of Chinese Americans now.

But Fuz had to admit that Link was an outlier, and it was a miracle that he could rise to the top of the country and become the richest man in the United States.

But everyone knows that Link is an unrepeatable case. Link didn't need to borrow from the start, and his assets were almost all tangible assets. In the history of the United States, there is absolutely no rich man who can develop like him. I'm afraid there won't be one in the future.

Link's own conditions also allowed him to be free from the shackles of American capital, breaking through the invisible ceiling of American society towards Chinese Americans. Breaking through this barrier, coupled with his own capital energy, there is no one in the United States who can suppress him by legitimate means.

But who else can do it?

Link saw that he was silent, and said: "We Chinese have always been pursuing a breakthrough in politics. But there is no more support. Because our population is so small and so dispersed, it is difficult to push our people to the top of politics. But we've been working the political level. But I didn't think about uniting to make the economy bigger first. ”

It is also impossible for Jews to come to the United States in the first place, and they could not have been directly present at the top of American politics. But through their influence in the U.S. economy, they gradually entered American politics.

"Why, the American Jewish Consortium controls more than 60% of the American economy. We Chinese are as smart as Jews, so why doesn't anyone think of forming a consortium?"

Fu Zi and Fan Zhongkun glanced at each other, they didn't expect Link's ambition to be this.

Fan Zhongkun thought for a while and said, "Link, there is no basis for the establishment of a consortium among us Chinese for the time being. ”

Link knew why he said that, "I wasn't mature because I didn't have anyone to take the lead. What do you think of me?"

"You're going to take the lead?"

Link shook his head and said, "What I'm talking about is not to unite through various interests like other consortia. It's about solidarity with each other. So I'm not taking the lead, I'm collaborating. I work with them. ”

He continued: "I'm going to take out the project now. Don't they even have the courage to fight? My bank can lend them money. The Benis Group can provide ingredients for Chinese restaurants. Fox Foods can work with Chinese restaurants. My TV station can promote them. ”

Fuz felt a little bitter in his heart, and said with a smile: "Link, our situation is very different from that of the Jews. ”

"Because they've been subjected to genocide, they're more united?" Link pointed out unceremoniously. "But that's why we're not united?"

Although Fan Zhongkun came to the United States later, he saw the Chinese in the United States very clearly. He pondered for a moment and said, "Link, the Chinese have been living in the United States for many generations, and the treatment in the United States has made most people more inclined to integrate into the white world to survive. It's hard to get them to change. ”

His words, Link turned out to be a little speechless.

This is indeed the case with the Chinese. When the Chinese wanted to seek American citizenship, they did take the initiative to move closer to the white world. But haven't they discovered that skin color is an insurmountable barrier?
