In addition, as far as he knows, unlike other Chinese organizations in the United States, the membership qualifications of the 100 British Club are very strict, and they must be recommended by members and approved by all other members before being accepted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He told what he knew, and Elson smiled and said, "If we recommend you, I think they'll be willing to accept you." ”

After careful consideration, Li Du still refused Elson's help.

Joining Baiying Club is a tempting choice for any Chinese American.

You must know that the 100 British Association is the most influential Chinese organization in the United States, and important figures from the political and business circles in the United States are invited to participate in the annual meeting every year.

Li Du remembers that in 2007, the annual meeting of the 100 British Society invited future President Barack Obama to speak, and in 2008, the former vice president was invited, as well as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, the king of Apples, all attended certain gatherings.

Joining the Hundred Heroes Club means that you can ascend to the sky in one step and become a member of high society from an ordinary person.

As long as they are recognized as a member of the association, they will spare no effort to help him become the leader of the beggar gang, even if he is a Chinese beggar.

In short, for any Chinese, as long as they have the connections of this association, they can quickly achieve a net worth of tens of millions.

But it is only tens of millions of net worth, and then you have to rely on your own ability, and you need to be hard to strike iron, and Baiying will be able to help, but it is not omnipotent.

The problem is that now Li Du is worth more than 10 million dollars, he has more than 8 million US dollars in savings, wears a famous watch worth four or five million, and has a gemstone saber at home that may be worth a fortune.

For him, there wasn't much that the Baiying Club could help.

However, if he joins, it will be obvious that his status and connections will be improved, and this association includes almost all the top Chinese in all circles in the United States.

For example, Tian Changlin, former president of the University of California, Berkeley, Gary Locke, the first Chinese-American governor of the United States, Chen Li Wanruo, the first Chinese-American female mayor of the United States, He Dayi, an expert in epidemic disease research, Yang Zhiyuan, the founder of Yahoo, and the famous CEO Kai-Fu Lee.

Elson obviously knew these inside information, and he knew that for Li Du, sending him to join the Hundred Heroes Club was sending him a great transformation.

It is no exaggeration to say that for ordinary people, joining Baiying will be equivalent to reincarnation and ascension to heaven in one step, which is almost like saving his life.

Li Du guessed that Elson wanted to use this incident to thank him for saving Steve, and also wanted to use this incident to repay the favor.

But he has a little flying insect in his hand, and becoming a rich man is a low-hanging fruit, and it is the same without the help of the Baiying Club, so why does he join the Baiying Club?

After being rejected by him, Elson asked in surprise, "You don't want to join?" Mr. Li, maybe you don't know the situation of the Baiying Club?"

Li Du said: "No, Mr. Elson, I know very well, it is I who know, so I refuse." ”

"I am joining the Baiying Club now because I have the help of people with distinguished status, not because my strength has reached the point where I can join it. ”

"In addition, my status and identity do not match this association, it is easy for me to join, but it is difficult to contact and associate with them on an equal footing. ”

"Most importantly, Mr. Elson, one day I will join the Hundred Heroes, but I will not be recommended by people outside the association through personal channels, but invited by the association. ”

Listening to his methodical analysis, Elson laughed and said, "Haha, it's not easy to be invited to join by the Baiying Club. ”

Li Du also smiled and said: "There is a saying in our Chinese culture, which is called man-made, I am full of confidence in my potential, and I will definitely be able to do it." ”

Elson patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, then I won't talk much, come on!"

Americans appreciate confident people, especially young people, and Mr. Lee's ambition and confidence have made Elson look at him.

When he arrived at the airport, before leaving, Li Du said again: "Mr. Elson, I know the reason why you proposed to help me apply to join the Hundred Heroes Club. ”

"Really?" Elson looked at him with a smile.

He nodded, "Yes, you don't have to, I saved Steve because I'm a normal person, just because of that." Any normal person who sees someone in need of help will lend a helping hand. ”

Elson looked at him, then nodded slowly, "Okay, young man, I understand. ”

The two sides waved goodbye, Li Du boarded the plane, and Elson booked three first-class tickets.

Sitting on the wide and comfortable soft chair, Da Ao smiled and said, "Boss, I think what you just said won the favor of the old gentleman." ”

Li Du said: "I'm not trying to win his favor, that's what I think." ”

Da Ao said suspiciously: "But you have done a great deed, this is a great favor." ”

Li Du patted him on the shoulder and said, "I would like to introduce you to a slang phrase in our Chinese culture, called 'But don't ask about the future when you do good deeds', this is what a gentleman does." ”

Godzilla said thoughtfully, "Boss, I'm interested in your culture. ”

Back in Flagpole City, Li Du regained a peaceful life.

The weather in early September was still very hot, and he had nothing to do, so he teased Meow and noodles during the day, and when Sophie got off work in the evening, he went to have dinner with Sophie and teased Ah Hao together.

It can eat and drink, it is very well developed and strong, but it does not make a watery sound, and it screams when it opens its mouth.

Sophie joked that Li Du was prescient and gave it a name that fit his character very well.

On the first weekend of September, after being contacted by Hans, the rosewoods were taken over by a Chinese woodcarver from Phoenix.

After Hans got in touch with him, he immediately found Li Du and asked Li Du to contact the other party.

Li Du said: "I'm not good at bargaining. ”

Hans said: "It is not yet to the point of bargaining, the first thing is to stabilize this source of customers, you and he are compatriots, and you should have a greater sense of identity." ”

The Chinese carver's name was White Chen, a young man, quite bold, and when he answered the phone and learned that Li Du was a Chinese student, he changed his Mandarin and said: "Brother Li, transport the mahogany to me, the price is easy to say!"

White-Chan lives in Tempe, a city in the Phoenix metro area, which is part of Phoenix according to the U.S. geographical division, but is also a separate city, where Arizona State University is located.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was free on the weekend, Li Du and Hans took the mahogany and drove over.

White Chan was very welcoming, gave them the address but said it was hard to find and asked them to go to a resort called HPR&S and wait at the door.

But he was a little too enthusiastic on the phone, and Li Du felt bottomless.
