Of course, Zhuang Siyuan has done his homework in advance, and the development of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to this day, although the scale is not small, covering all walks of life, but it seems a little dull and rigid. When he learned that Li Mingming, who had risen like a comet, was now in Los Angeles and was buying a biotechnology company on a large scale, he had the idea of getting in touch.

Although it was only a short conversation of about ten minutes, Zhuang Siyuan already felt that this young man was really not simple, and he did not have the impetuousness and flamboyance of ordinary people at his age. There are also some outstanding juniors, because of good tutoring and talent, they are more calm. But Li Jie is completely different from them, it is a kind of calm and calm that penetrates into the bones, as if he has an extraordinary rich life precipitation, which can't help but make Zhuang Siyuan feel amazing, and the idea of pulling into the Chamber of Commerce arises.

"Actually, I went to Los Angeles just by chance, and I'm afraid that in the future, I will be more focused on New York, and I won't have much energy to take care of this side." said that it was a lack of energy, but in fact, it was a tactful refusal. The resources and access of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce are certainly helpful, but there is no unearned benefit in the world. Li Jie has a very clear idea of the development of himself and the company. It is a path that is not suitable for clearly standing in a certain group or camp, so it is not suitable to be tied too closely with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

"Mr. Li doesn't have to be in a hurry to refuse, the distance between regions has long been no problem in modern society. This matter does not need to be decided immediately, you can think about it slowly. "The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is indeed a mutual aid group, which can provide a lot of help to members, and more importantly, the sharing of resources and information. No matter where you are, it's clear that networking is good for business. Zhuang Siyuan didn't expect Li Jie to refuse so simply, but he didn't find annoyance, he just smiled faintly and put the topic down.

Since he said to think about it slowly, Li Jie is naturally not in a hurry. At this time, the streets outside seemed to be very lively, not only with the noise of gongs and drums, but also with bursts of cheers. Li Jie got up and looked down from the window, only to see that the whole street was crowded with people, crowded, and the yellow dragon dance team was passing through the street.

"This is the Golden Dragon Parade of our Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which is held every year, and we have also invited a TV station to record it. You young people always say that times are different, and even my son is developing in the new area of the San Gabriel Valley, and you say what kind of 'Xinhuabu' is. But in my opinion, traditional things are still classics, you look at Chinatown, although it is not as prosperous as in the thirties and forties, but it is still very popular every year, and the historical status, cultural value, architectural features, etc., here cannot be replaced, and it is also the special charm of Chinese culture. Zhuang Siyuan also walked to his side and said with some sighs.

This is a nostalgic person, who did not expect that these old Chinese who immigrated to the United States three generations ago have a deeper attachment to tradition than in China. Li Jie can't help but think of a lecture given by a professor of political science - the professor said that someone asked him, since the country is very good, why do so many people immigrate abroad, can you persuade those who want to emigrate? The professor said that I don't do such stupid things, and that more than 70% of Chinese people who emigrated abroad ended up being more patriotic than when they were at home, which is simply the best patriotic education.

It doesn't matter if this data is accurate or not, but from Zhuang Siyuan's body, Li Jie seems to see some signs. But he doesn't care about that, in fact, the problem is very simple, in the United States, the power of money can be almost infinite, and he himself is a good example. If you change to a poor person, not to mention that you are not qualified to immigrate, you will come, and you will be reduced to a place like washing dishes or even the black part of Harlem in New York, and you will talk about the quality of life, and you will be shot and killed one day on the street.

"I think what exists has its value, and as for whether it can be preserved, let time tell. When I came all the way over, I saw that there were still a lot of people in Chinatown, and there were even more whites than Asians. Li Jie pondered for a moment and replied.

Zhuang Siyuan was obviously very happy to hear this, smiled and nodded again and again, saying that this was a moderate statement. At this time, a tall and handsome Chinese young man walked over, and said to Zhuang Siyuan in a somewhat cynical tone: "Uncle Zhuang, I came early enough, did you arrange a place for me at night?" ”

"It's arranged, don't fool around, be careful I tell your dad." Zhuang Siyuan was obviously very familiar with him, and he didn't mind at all, just glared at him. "Come, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Li Jie, an outstanding young representative of our Chinese businessmen, and this is Cai Chengping, a child of mine who is a friend of mine, has a good temperament, but he is occasionally a little impatient."

After he said this, the young man opposite was a little unhappy. "Ouch, I said Uncle Zhuang, what kind of introduction do you have, the difference is a little bigger. I'm fooling around with me, this handsome guy is an excellent representative of Chinese businessmen. ”

After he finished speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Li Jie, obviously not really angry. "Handsome guy, this is not aimed at you, I just think Uncle Zhuang is a little too demeaning to us, as for that!"

Li Jie smiled at him, this young man is a bit of what the Chinese people say, he doesn't care about anything, but he doesn't seem to be unscrupulous, no one in his eyes, and he has just the right grasp of proportion, so as not to make people feel disgusted.

"You kid! It's really not me who hurts you this time, Mr. Li is already a person who has really created a career. Pfizer's new drug 'Willida', which is about to be launched, you have heard of it, it was invented by Mr. Li. Zhuang Siyuan didn't bother with him, smiled and stretched out his hand to point Cai Chengping.

"I'll go! Bruce Lee! Idol! Cai Chengping's eyes really widened this time, and his attitude changed greatly and he warmed up from the heart. I said how come it is so familiar, there was Bruce Lee kung fu superstar in the past, and now there is Bruce Lee to save the common people - no, male compatriots. ”

"Hahahaha!" Even Li Jie was amused, this young man was a little interesting. Zhuang Siyuan couldn't help laughing, shook his head again and again to signal that he was going to be busy, and bluntly said that let the young people communicate by themselves.

"Mr. Cai is a very interesting person." Li Jie took the initiative to shake his hand.

Cai Chengping pulled Li Jie and didn't let go, he could see that he was really enthusiastic, and stretched out his thumb again and again. "Don't be polite to me, just call me Pingzi, or call me William. I see that we are about the same age, you don't mind if I call you Jie Shao. Let me tell you, you are really my idol, what are those suits and leather shoes that are acquired in this economy, like you, who casually make an invention, benefit countless male compatriots, and make billions of dollars, this is called really domineering! ”

Cai Chengping is a young man with a lot of personality, he is particularly pleasing to the eye when he sees it, and he is too lazy to take care of what he doesn't like. Now he just feels that he admires Li Jie very much, so he keeps pulling him to brag. You must know that Cai Chengping and Cai Dashao are not something that everyone can look up to, he can go all the way from China to abroad, which shows the deep background and foundation.

"Jie Shao, you didn't bring a female companion? Wise move, listen to me, the evening drinking party is our main event, and there are a few excellent ones in the Miss Chinatown pageant, so I've already inquired about it. After chatting for a few words, Cai Chengping began to squeeze his eyebrows, revealing an expression of understanding between men.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce's anniversary celebration has a lot of content, the most important of which is of course the evening reception, which is also the time when the results of the annual Miss Los Angeles Chinatown pageant are announced. Cai Chengping has long been eyeing the popular seed contestants in the Miss Chinatown beauty pageant, and for this matter, he also specially asked Zhuang Siyuan to arrange a good position close to the stage and at the right angle for himself.
