In the charity gala held by the Los Angeles Chinese Business Association, Zhang Lie participated in the charity gala as a special guest. (].

The charity gala was held in a manor in Los Angeles County, and the owner of the manor was the director of the Chinese Association of the United States, which had considerable influence in the United States.

The charity gala held this time was also the other party's rise. Of course, the main purpose is naturally to hope to bring Zhang Lie, a new generation of wealthy people, closer to him.

In the past year, Zhang Lie's Zhang's Investment Fund has led the wolves of Wall Street to attack everywhere in the international capital market and plundered a large amount of wealth. Chinese businessmen, who have always liked the real economy, are also hot. wants to take Zhang Lie's free ride and make some profits in the capital market.

Before coming, Zhang Lie did a survey on some influential Chinese businessmen in the United States, and knew that many of these Chinese businessmen were no longer pure. Especially the charity gala that Zhang Lie was invited to participate in this time. He saw a lot of strange faces, for no other reason, many Chinese businessmen had come to the United States three or four generations ago, and after hundreds of years of exhibition, their bloodlines were no longer pure. And the vast majority of people don't know Chinese, and they speak English fluently.

Of course, the only difference to determine whether they are Chinese businessmen or not is the surname they have always used. The ancestry may have changed, but the surname has remained largely unchanged.

Zhang Lie was the focus of attention of everyone present, and from time to time someone came up to say hello and hand over business cards. They are also seeking cooperation, most of these people are the descendants of these families, and although they respect the young Zhang Lie, they are more curious.

Before coming, Zhang Lie had already met the master of Zhuangzi. Head of the Lee family in Los Angeles County. My father crossed the ocean from the Xiangjiang River to the United States during the Beiyang period. Today, the head of the Li family is eighty years old. It is not very convenient to move, and you can only use a wheelchair to travel.

As long as the Li family operates ranches and real estate, they have a lot of influence in the Los Angeles area. When Zhang Lie saw the old man, the old man Li was very kind.

It's just that after the old man said a few words to Zhang Lie, his body couldn't support it, so he could only say goodbye to Zhang Lie. The little granddaughter pushed the old man back to the back hall, and Zhang Lie returned to the front hall to meet with these people who came to attend the charity gala.

After coming into contact with the younger generation of these Chinese businessmen. Zhang Lie always felt out of place with them. Maybe it's because I was told by the elders in the family before I came, and these people said that they were careful in doing things, and they didn't feel like the temperament they should have at this age.

Fortunately, after the so-called charity gala, Zhang Lie also took a shot of an enamel bottle. Although I don't have much interest in antiques or anything. But since I came, I also invested in playing, so it was regarded as charity.

After the party, in the back living room, I really met some people talking about Chinese businessmen in the United States.

After greeting Zhang Lie, as the host. The head of the Li family is also the eldest son of Old Man Li. Lee Kuan Yew opened his mouth and said, "First, on behalf of the Li family and the local Chinese businessmen in the United States, I would like to welcome Mr. Zhang's arrival. ”

The heads of the families present also clapped their hands gently, and Zhang Lie noticed that many of these residents still retain their old-fashioned styles and customs. There are also some families that have been very well assimilated by Western culture. If it weren't for the shadow on his body, it would be difficult to see that the other party was once Chinese.

"The reason why we gathered together this time is clear, but because Mr. Zhang is attending a gathering of local Chinese businessmen for the first time, he may not know the purpose of this gathering. I'll repeat it here. ”

"As local Chinese, the Chinese businessmen we present are counted from the first generation of immigrants, the oldest has four generations of immigrants, and the youngest has two generations. But in any case, under the Constitution of the United States, we are all real United States. The Constitution allows us to enjoy the rights of a Chinese people. But for so many years, the status of the Chinese in the United States is not high. Especially in the early years, there was also the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act. Although this law has now been abolished, over the years, we Chinese have relied on our own hands to lay a certain foundation on the road of the United States. Similarly, the Chinese society began to face up to our Chinese, and their status was also improving day by day. But in order to better serve the well-being of the Chinese, we Chinese must unite, only in this way can we find a space that belongs to us in the white society. ”

Zhang Lie frowned as he listened to Lee Kuan Yew's words. He had thought that these people had called him because of the economy. But I didn't expect that this involved politics. I have never wanted to get involved with the government, although I almost control the government of the United States. But I don't want to go to the front desk and wave the flag and shout with these old people.

"The second half of the year is the quadrennial election year in the United States, for the sake of the Chinese in the whole country, we Chinese should unite and elect a president who can work for the well-being of our Chinese, and also let the Chinese society see the strength of all Chinese."

After Lee Kuan Yew said this, he looked at Zhang Lie with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Zhang, we invite you in the hope that you can join us, I know that you are still a Chinese national, but because your own influence is too great. If you have your support, it will be a great honor for all Chinese. You're enough for all of us here. “

Zhang Lie didn't speak, and glanced at everyone present, not knowing whether they were sincere or fake.

However, he also has a feeling of being deceived, these people are going to make trouble, and he has no reason to go crazy with them.

Still, he asked, "Mr. Li, I want to know who you support?" You are clear that although the general election in the United States in the second half of the year, whether it is the Republican Party or the Democratic Party, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just a businessman, and I believe it's the same for me, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat. ”

Lee Kuan Yew said: "At present, what we have agreed is to support the Republican candidate, after all, compared with the Democratic Party, although the Republican Party is more conservative, it is more in line with the interests of the Chinese. The Democratic Party is aware of some radical economic policies and has foreign policies, which are likely to ignite the fire for the current US economy. In our opinion, only the conservative Republican Party is more stable and can bring stability to the Chinese people in the United States. ”

Zhang Lie shook his head and said, "However, the conservative policies of the Republican Party have hardly played any positive role in improving the social status of the Chinese? Don't you think that no matter what you do, you must take the premise of improving the status of the Chinese? ”

At this time, the head of the Long family spoke: "Although the Republican Party is conservative, we have reached an agreement with the Republican Party that as long as we support the Republican candidates, the Republican Party will work hard to improve the living environment of the Chinese during its term of office." ”

Zhang Lie looked at this person, and helpless. He has already heard that these so-called Chinese businessmen have actually negotiated with the Republican Party, and they use their influence to get the Chinese in the country to support the Republican Party. The Republicans, on the other hand, will defend their economic behavior in the future. As for the status of the Chinese, it actually has little to do with them, after all, they are rich and powerful, and as long as there is no big riot, it will not harm their interests at all.

Unable to get used to seeing the faces of these people, Zhang Lie stood up, glanced at the people present, and said, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll retire first." Also, I sue you, I support the Democratic Party! ”

After speaking, Zhang Lie didn't look at the expressions of these people, turned his head and left.

Lee Kuan Yew's face suddenly pulled there, not knowing whether to be angry or to chase Zhang Lie back. He knew Zhang Lie's influence, and his father had repeatedly told him that he must have a good relationship with Zhang Lie. This is related to the Li family's exhibition in China and Mimi.

As Zhang Lie said, with Zhang Lie's status, whether it is the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, who wins in the end has little to do with him. His influence is enough to make any party stumble.

The head of the Long family was immediately angry, stood up, and scolded: "Obabi, that green-haired turtle, if you can be re-elected as president, I will write the dragon character backwards!" ”

He really can't get used to Zhang Lie's attitude, especially when Zhang Lie is so young and has become so famous. In the eyes of their older generation, it was simply a mob. Especially the Long family, it can be said that they have always been arrogant and almost looked down on everyone.

Although the Long family's assets are not the most among these people, they are the most powerful. Everyone present knew the details of the Long family, and the reason why they were surnamed Long was very simple. Their Long family is a native of Aixinjue Luo, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. Some of Aixinjue Roche stayed in Huaguo University 6, and there are many more Aixin Jue Roche left Da 6 and went to all over the world. Among them, rice country, Europe, dwarf country and so on are the most common. And these Aixinjue Luo clans who can leave often have a lot of wealth, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, they were not the princes but also the kings of the county, so it can be said that they are really wealthy. It was only after the continuous defeat in the early years that the assets continued to shrink, and then slowly switched to the industry, and the family property gradually recovered. Just like the enamel bottle that Zhang Lie just auctioned, it was taken away by the Long family when they left the big 6 that year. A true royal thing, worth a lot.

Maybe it's because after being a royal family, the Long family is arrogant, and they naturally can't get used to a young man like Zhang Lie who has no background.

In particular, one of the sons of their Long family is also a Republican, and now he is doing well in the Republican Party, and he is expected to run for governor of Arizona in two years.

"Old dragon, dissipate your anger. But I didn't expect Zhang Lie to be so ignorant. Look at those policies of the Democratic Party, what are them? President Obabi, in particular, proposed the legalization of homosexuality some time ago, which is not pure nonsense. Yin and yang are in harmony, which is the root of human beings. The fact that the Democratic Party actually proposed that homosexuality be legal is a step backwards. Also, Obabi, that, his wife can't stand it, and he wears such a big green hat, and he is embarrassed to run for president? (To be continued!)
