Chapter 308: The Entanglement of Interests Behind It
"Daddy, I'm curious, with the energy of the Li family, it stands to reason that this Chinese American strike movement and Chinese American protest movement could not have been so vigorous and even affected all major cities in the United States! I guess there must be some other forces behind this that are helping to move things forward, right? At this time, Pei Pei was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room of the Li Mansion, while her father was sitting on another sofa on her right.
Dad Li reached out and took the coffee cup handed by his wife, took a sip, and then replied to his daughter calmly: "Why are you inquiring about this?" Did Austin ask you to come back and ask me? ”
Pei Pei picked up a cookie from the coffee table, took a bite, and then shrugged her shoulders and replied, "Austin is busy with the second wave of his plan, the land claim plan for the 'Indian Reservation'!" He's always only been responsible for fanning the flames, and he doesn't get involved in the finishing work. And, from my point of view and position, I'm not afraid of making things bigger! Tell me, the bigger the trouble, the better! It is only when Congress publicly issues a formal apology that it can be considered to have achieved its goal! ”
Li Chenghua was very satisfied with his daughter's answer, and it could be seen that her daughter's mind was still very sober, and she did not forget her political position as a Chinese because she got married.
I saw a smile of relief on the corner of Li Chenghua's mouth, and then said eloquently: "On the surface, the initiators of this Chinese rights and interests struggle movement are all the employees of the Los Angeles Chinese News, but in fact, hehehe"
Li Chenghua put down one of his erlang legs, and put the coffee cup back on the coffee table. Only then did he continue to speak: "The fact that this incident can develop to such a scale is also behind the joint efforts of the entire 'Chinese Business Exchange and Mutual Aid Association in the United States' to exert force and influence, which finally pushed this incident to the current trend." ”
After a pause, Li Chenghua continued to explain: "Since ancient times, once a businessman has money, he will find a way to enter the officialdom! As for whether to use the method of paving bridges and roads, or the method of marching and protesting, to put it bluntly, these are all means! It's a tool! Since the 40s of the last century, there was the first Chinese-American state congressman Deng Yuening to successfully enter the political arena of the United States, and these representatives of Chinese businessmen in the United States. It has never stopped entering the political arena of the United States and seeking a political spokesman of the same color. ”
"From the first Deng Yuening afterward. There are also Kuang Youliang, Wu Zhenwei, Zhu Sijiu, etc., who have successfully entered the stage of American politics, and the reason why this incident is so big is "Li Chenghua suddenly showed a mysterious smile to his daughter, and then changed the topic very abruptly, watching his daughter sell Guan Zi and said: "That's right." Have you ever heard of Locke? ”
Pei Pei touched her chin. Recalled in my head
The name sounds familiar. But for a while, she really couldn't remember who this person was.
So, she shook her head at her father.
Li Chenghua re-cocked one Erlang leg and leaned comfortably against the sofa. Then he smiled and announced the answer: "This person is amazing, he is the first Chinese American politician who has ever held real power among all the Chinese Americans who have entered the American political stage." From 1996 to 2005, he served two terms as governor of Washington state."
"And what is his position now?" Pei Pei asked curiously.
"Hehehe" Li Chenghua chuckled inexplicably, looked at his daughter and said noncommittally: "This person is now, but he doesn't have any official title, since he stepped down as the governor of Washington State in 05, he has begun to work in a multinational law firm, and he has left the political arena in the United States on the surface." ”
"I guess" Pei Pei rubbed her chin and looked at her father, and then said in a "very taken for granted" tone: "Does this person really want to return to the political stage of Lao Mei, so the 'Chinese Business Exchange and Mutual Aid Association' will bet on him, and use my 'racial discrimination case' to expand the influence of Chinese Americans?" ”
After Li Chenghua smiled, he continued: "Not only that, there is another layer of potential transactions in this! ”
Seeing his daughter looking at him curiously, Li Chenghua stopped selling Guan Zi, and began to explain to his daughter the potential entanglement of interests behind the reason why this incident was so big-
"08 is the election year, you know, the current Bush Jr. is a Republican, and next year's presidential election is bound to win the Democratic Party, so the Democratic Party is ready to play a good hand, this hand is 'racial equality'! For this reason, the candidate nominated by the Democratic Party is still a black man! ”
"Negro!" Pei Pei was really surprised, although she has never cared much about the political situation in the United States, but she at least knows a little unspoken rule of American politics - that is, there has never been a black person elected president in American history!
Not to mention that he has never been elected president, even among the previous candidates, there has never been a black person running for election!
Pei Pei looked at her father in surprise, and then plucked her ears in disbelief.
"Uh-huh! You heard it right, it's a black man! Li Chenghua nodded at his daughter, snapped his fingers again, and then continued with a smile: "The name of the black candidate nominated by the Democratic Party is Barack Obama, who was the first to be elected to the Senate of the Illinois State Assembly, and was elected to the Senate the year before. In February of this year, this newcomer in the political arena, Comrade Xiao Ohei, officially announced that he was going to run for president! ”
"Tut-tut" Pei Pei scratched her chin with a strange expression, and her father didn't need to continue to say the rest of the words, with her IQ, she had already guessed what kind of collusion of interests was behind this.
- It is now the end of '07, and in a few days the new year will begin. The current ruling party is George W. Bush of the Republican Party, while the Democratic Party has long been eyeing to make a difference in next year's presidential election year. Therefore, at the turn of the New Year, they "deliberately connived" or even "secretly promoted" the rights and interests struggle of the Chinese American community, and the calculation was to attack the current ruling party, the Republican Party, with the topic of "racial discrimination", and then extend the topic to "racial equality", forming widespread public opinion and support in society, and paving the skin color barrier on the campaign road for the dark-skinned candidate they elected in the upcoming presidential election campaign, and winning more votes, especially- In this part of the Chinese American people!
Pei Pei rubbed her chin, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right!
- No wonder Austin is so interested in the Brown Bear Tribe's reservation plan! It is estimated that this guy has already learned some of the inside information, so he will grasp the best opportunity and then take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters after the news that the Democratic Party is ready to go all out to nominate Xiao Okuhei to run for president is revealed.
"Tut-tut, no wonder! It's no wonder that this guy Austin would have sworn so confidently before, as long as it works properly, the reservation plan will definitely be achieved smoothly! Pei Pei unconsciously muttered to herself.
After Pei Pei guessed the entanglement of interests behind this incident, she couldn't help but ask her father curiously: "According to you, the transaction behind this Chinese rights and interests protest incident is so huge that it is to promote the election path of this black candidate of the Democratic Party, so what kind of benefits can the main promoter of this incident, that is, the 'Chinese Business Exchange and Mutual Aid Association', get from the Democratic Party in the end?" ”
Li Chenghua reminded meaningfully: "After every president takes office, the cabinet will be reorganized!" ”
"Oh, I see!" Pei Pei snapped her fingers in a sudden realization, then looked at her father, and said in an excited tone: "That's why you mentioned to me the Chinese named Locke Jiahui just now!" Is it true that once the black president named Obama comes to power, Locke will become a member of his cabinet, and a member of the real power! And this guy surnamed Luo will become the spokesperson for the interests of the 'Chinese Business Exchange and Mutual Aid Association' in the political arena of the United States in the future! Am I guessing right? ”
Li Chenghua smiled. (To be continued......)
