Chapter 507: For His Conscience
"Where is this? Why are there so many Asian faces?"
Li Zhiyang couldn't help but ask, after all, in such a foreign place, it should be a very happy thing for the two of them to meet so many fellow villagers.
But Li Zhiyang had never heard James or Carnegie mention this place, and Li Zhiyang also knew that there were many people in the Celestial Empire in the United States.
In the past, most of the people of the Celestial Empire in the United States came to Hong Kong, Guangdong, or Taiwan, but in recent years, especially after the Celestial Empire has become rich, many rich people have chosen to immigrate to the United States.
However, the people of the Celestial Empire just like to get together, and many of the new immigrants from the Celestial Empire choose to live in Los Angeles, where there are more Chinese, or San Francisco, and there are many in New York, but many of them live in Chinatown.
He never thought that there would be so many people from the Celestial Dynasty here, in the Hampton of Long Island, where the rich people in the United States gathered, could it be that these are the families of those rich people who immigrated from China?
But at this time, Sam, who was driving in front, turned around, looked at Li Zhiyang with a very playful smile, and then said.
"Boss, don't you really know where this is, what are these people doing?"
Li Zhiyang immediately felt confused, he was greatly wronged, where did he know where these people were referring to? What are they for?
He hasn't been to the United States a few times, even the previous two times, they have been running all over the United States, and he hasn't turned around well on Long Island at all.
That is, when he first came to Long Island, Nancy took him and simply walked around Long Island, many places on Long Island, to be honest, he really hadn't been there, let alone this small Celestial Empire settlement here
Sam heard Li Zhiyang say this, and then from the rear mirror of the car, he saw that Li Zhiyang's expression did not seem to be fake, and knew that he really didn't know this place, so she just wanted to explain it to Li Zhiyang
Unexpectedly, at this time, Cheng Dazhuang, who had been sitting in the car just now and watching the scenery, suddenly felt like his butt had been pricked by a needle, and almost bounced off the back seat of the car.
"Isn't it old that I wipe Weifu?"
Cheng Dazhuang's loud voice startled Liu Jie, who was sitting next to him, and Li Zhiyang and Sam were talking in English just now.
Cheng Dazhuang and Liu Jie's English is average, if they speak slowly, they may still be able to understand, if they speak faster, they can't understand at all.
Li Zhiyang and Sam were both speaking very fast just now, so they didn't understand what they were talking about, but now the situation is different.
Cheng Dazhuang originally hugged it today, came here to have a good visit, the experience of building high-end residential communities in the Americans, and went back to have a good exchange with his partners.
Some time ago, they planted a big heel on the iron ore company in Australia, which hurt their vitality a little. This account had to be retrieved quickly, so Cheng Dazhuang, who had always been in the real estate business, couldn't help it this time.
Just before they took over the iron ore company in Australia, a friend of his took a piece of land in the imperial capital, but because of the recent financial crisis and the shortage of funds on hand, he invited her to join the shares.
And Cheng Dazhuang also learned from the relationship at the top that the imperial court may have major measures to support real estate companies next year, so he plans to do it.
But what he didn't expect was that it was so simple in the process of walking in the United States that he was asked to bump into an 'old friend'
What Sam was going to say was also interrupted by Cheng Dazhuang's surprise, and at this time, Liu Jie was also aroused by Cheng Dazhuang's voice, and even Li Zhiyang was very curious, who is this old Yu?
"Brother Zhuang, what are you doing with such a grand event?
Li Zhiyang turned his head and asked Cheng Dazhuang, he had always known Cheng Dazhuang's concentration, if it weren't for the fact that the person he met was very important, he would not have been so surprised
He asked, turning his head and looking out the window, where Sam's car was slow, and he could clearly see that on the terrace in front of a large luxurious house, a pleasant-looking Celestial man was teasing each other with a dog beside him
At this time, Cheng Dazhuang still looked at that guy, dumbfounded and speechless.
The navigator slowly drove out of this block, Li Zhiyang glanced at it, there are roughly thirty or forty mansions on this street, and almost all of them are inhabited, and it seems that the owners of these residences seem to be from the Celestial Empire.
Although there are some houses, you can't see the people inside, but Li Zhiyang has that feeling, the people who live here must be from the Celestial Empire.
Just as the navigator drove out of this block, Cheng Dazhuang came back to his senses, sat up straight, and let out a long breath.
"What's the matter, big strong brother, who is that old Yu just now?"
Li Zhiyang saw that Cheng Dazhuang was relieved, so he hurriedly asked him.
"Hmph, that grandson is a good person, he used to be the president of a state-owned bank, and his level was quite not low, but then because of corruption and embezzlement, he suddenly disappeared a few years ago, and many people thought he was dead at the time, but I didn't expect this grandson to enjoy it, and it turned out that he didn't come over. When I used to do business in Province X, I didn't deal with this grandson a lot, and at that time, this guy was full of patriotic official words, clichés, and when he reached out to ask for money, I didn't see him have so much consciousness."
As soon as Cheng Dazhuang heard Li Zhiyang ask him, he didn't hesitate much, and said it like pouring beans into all the bamboo tubes, it seems that he has been unhappy with this old man for a long time.
Li Zhiyang did think of something thoughtfully at this time, and Liu Jie was on the side at this time.
"What? brother, you didn't fix him? What the hell?"
"Why don't you want to? At that time, I was still thinking, after my project in province X was finished, I wanted him to look good, but I didn't think that this grandson suddenly disappeared mysteriously before I finished his work, and then the bank in province X still squeaked and couldn't explain clearly, there might be too many people involved, and finally forced this matter down. I didn't expect it, it turned out that this grandson didn't come over."
Cheng Dazhuang said viciously.
And Li Zhiyang also remembered something at this time, before he was reborn, his last job was to work for a boss of the Red Letter Party who was in the middle of the road.
That down-and-out Eight Banners kid is doing everything he can, looking for relationships everywhere, exploiting loopholes, and doing some small work on the seams, when it's good, he can earn hundreds of thousands at a time, and when it's bad, he has no business for several months.
Another time they made a lot of money on the construction of highways in a certain province, and as soon as the down-and-out Red Son Party was happy, he asked Li Zhiyang to accompany him to drink, and the Red Son Party had drunk too much at that time and told him.
"Zhiyang, do you know how my brother got this live microsuit?"
Li Zhiyang could only shake his head honestly, saying that he didn't know, and the red party continued to brag to him.
"Brother, this time I smashed the pot and sold iron, got the son of Director Sun to the United States, and bought a mansion for that grandson on Long Island, brother, I gambled all my net worth this time. ”
Li Zhiyang, who had never been to the United States at that time, knew where Long Island was, so he asked out loud.
"The house on Long Island is so expensive, and it is more expensive than that of our Celestial Empire?"
At that time, the red party glanced at Li Zhiyang with disdain, and then said to him.
"What do you know? Brother told you, Long Island is a rich area in the United States, especially where the rich people in New York live, do you know Weifu?"
At that time, Li Zhiyang knew that there was a Long Island in New York, and he still said a lot at that time.
"Rub that Director Sun's son, what kind of virtue, we haven't seen it, just like him, what can he do if he goes to the United States? He can't speak a word of English, and he will starve to death when he arrives. ”
Thinking of the boss of the Red Son Party, he laughed out loud, and then said to Li Zhiyang.
"You kid, do you know a fart? Let me tell you, where is there a place like an urban village, where all the people of the Celestial Empire live, and you don't have to speak English at all, and in that place, as long as you have money, what kind of thing can't be settled?"
Li Zhiyang was still very unconvinced at the time, and asked with the complicated emotions of envy and jealousy.
"Are we Celestial Empire people so rich?
Unexpectedly, the boss's answer made Li Zhiyang dumbfounded.
"To go to him, you have to have money, where the group of grandsons live, there are a few money that comes from the right way. Let me tell you Zhiyang, where are the corrupt officials who ran out of our Celestial Empire, or the mistresses maintained by those tycoons, where is the virtue of the second mother village that we are common in the Celestial Empire, he doesn't have a good thing"
Li Zhiyang was dumbfounded, he had only heard that many corrupt officials fled from the Celestial Empire every year, but in the river crab news broadcast on the news network, of course, such news was not heard at all.
At this time, he, the down-and-out boss of the Red Son Party, told him the news, but let him confirm the news, it seems that there are indeed many corrupt officials fleeing every year
And these grandsons have also swept away a lot of the hard-earned money of the people of our Celestial Empire, otherwise, how can these grandsons have the ability to live in a big house in the United States, drive a good car, and make beautiful girls?
At that time, he and his boss scolded these grandsons together and scolded them all night
But later, as he ran for a living every day, he gradually forgot about it.
When he first saw the people of the Celestial Empire here just now, he still had a trace of intimacy, but after hearing the origin of this old Yu from Cheng Dazhuang, his mind suddenly remembered the allusion that his boss told him before
It's not a good place at all? it's just a place for a bunch of embezzlers and secret prostitutes with a clear price
Li Zhiyang was already a corrupt official, but he didn't expect to meet these bastards here this time, and then look at them one by one, driving luxury cars, living in luxury houses, and enjoying family fun one by one, Li Zhiyang's heart suddenly became uncomfortable.
These moths, what's the matter?
Before he knew it, Sam's car pulled up in front of a café that was already the junction between the South Hamptons and the Hamptons.
Cheng Dazhuang was pondering, Liu Jie didn't know what he was thinking, and Li Zhiyang turned his head to look at Sam, but saw Sam smiling at him.
"Want a cup of coffee?"
"Okay"
Li Zhiyang replied, and then followed Sam out of the car, and Cheng Dazhuang and Liu Jie also got out of the car, and at this time, the bodyguards who followed them out all got out of the car, surrounded the coffee shop vaguely, and checked it, and then signaled safety.
At this time, Sam walked in with Li Zhiyang and a few of them, ordered a few cups of coffee, and then sat in front of the window of the coffee shop.
This café is very well decorated, it was originally a rich area, but now the business seems to be not very good, because the coffee here is really not cheap, they are the only table of customers.
After Li Zhiyang waited for the coffee beans to be served, he finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Sam.
"Sam, are they really all from the Celestial Empire... ”
He really didn't know how to say it, after all, it was a family ugly for him. But of course he also knew that as a veteran former IAD agent, Sam would certainly understand what he meant.
Sam looked at Li Zhiyang, smiled slightly, then nodded and replied.
"Yes, those people are all from the Celestial Empire, most of them are ** officials who fled from the Celestial Empire to the United States, or the children of ** officials, or the playthings of those tycoons and tycoons, canaries who are wrapped up"
After getting confirmation from Sam's mouth, Li Zhiyang's heart was sad for a while, no wonder his father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as Nancy, had never mentioned this place to him.
It's not something to be proud of at all, it just makes him feel embarrassed, a colony of fugitive corrupt officials from the so-called world's second-largest economy?
This will make it embarrassing for a Celestial Empire person who has always insisted on not changing his American nationality?
Li Zhiyang's inner essence is a small indignation, even after he became a billionaire, it has not changed.
He originally planned to go to the southwest or the poor areas in the northwest next year, when he had time, to do something for the poor children who could not afford to go to school or eat.
But he didn't expect that before he went to complete his good deeds, on the eve of his engagement ceremony, in such a drunken place in the United States, he bumped into a group of corrupt officials who had scavenged and stole those poor children's lunch money and ran to the United States to get drunk and dream of death, Li Zhiyang's mood suddenly became heavy.
His emotions had not fluctuated so violently for a long time, and he felt that he should do something, but he didn't know where to start and what to do
Cheng Dazhuang and Liu Jie also sat there, with gloomy faces, they didn't talk much, they all understood the conversation between Li Zhiyang and Sam just now, because the two of them spoke very slowly this time, and they were not stupid, as long as they thought about it, they would know what was going on there.
Although two of these three people are red sons, these two are not the kind of traitors who completely forget their ancestors and can only be two dogs.
Moreover, Cheng Dazhuang and Liu Jie have been friends with Li Zhiyang for so long because they have similar values, they are both indignant, but their identities are different.
Although Cheng Dazhuang is making money by relying on relationships, he earns more money from foreigners, and he participates in domestic projects, but he participates very little, and even if he does, he rarely does something unconscionable.
Not to mention Liu Jie, he has been following Li Zhiyang since he left school, and he has not degenerated to the point that other Red Sons can only oppress his compatriots.
Several people were thinking about each other at this time, and they didn't talk much, Li Zhiyang thought for a while, and then asked out loud.
"Those guys are not good things, some of them may have red notices on their heads, don't you US government know about micro-service?"
"Haha, boss, are you stupid Weifu? How can we not know, but what is this place, this is the USA, this is the land of freedom, not to mention that they still come with a huge amount of wealth, they come here, they bring consumption, they bring jobs, they stimulate our economic prosperity, so why should the US government care about them? As long as they don't make trouble here, it's fine. ”
Sam replied with a smile, Li Zhiyang heard this, but he felt uncomfortable for a while, yes, why should people care, let alone manage Weifu?
Look at the casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, who are the most people? They are all from the Celestial Empire, and Li Zhiyang is sure that if the Celestial Empire people in those casinos are from the mainland, at least five out of ten are from a certain government department and come here to 'investigate'.
It's public money spent, and it can be reimbursed if you lose
If you look back, those in the southwest, or the northwest, or even the inland, those old people and children who can't afford to see a doctor or go to school.
Their parents work hard outside the home every day, earning a meager salary, and they have to pay taxes, which is honorable
They did their duty to the country, but what about the duty of the state to its citizens? they can't afford to buy a house, they can't afford to see a doctor, they can't afford to go to school
That's what happens to taxpayers
And those people were brought to the other side of the ocean by these moths, and they continued to spend money, enjoy life, and even enjoy the joy of family.
The more Li Zhiyang thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, he raised his head, looked at Sam and asked.
"Sam, can you get information about the people who live there? I mean, detailed information, including their records in the Celestial Empire and whatever?"
Li Zhiyang felt that he had to do something for his conscience this time
Ant wishes everyone a happy May Day, and everyone supports Ant Ha
