Chapter 841: Tough American Thinking (Part II)
Jiang Peng's new home is in Montecito, CA (Montecito), the villa is a French country style, with a swimming pool, olive groves, a wine cellar and a video room downstairs, standing on the balcony can overlook the sea, which can be described as picturesque.
After eating a sumptuous dinner, Jiang Peng, who had already begun to get rich, led Sun Ziming and Li Rui to the open-air veranda to talk, while Betty accompanied Li Yingai, who was pregnant, for a walk. Looking at Li Yingai at sunset, Jiang Peng, who is also Chinese, is also happy for his grandson, his boss finally has a son, and the inheritance of incense is finally completed.
After a few jokes, Jiang Peng took the initiative to bring the topic to this afternoon's phone call.
"Brother Ming, Hong Kong has returned, and the status of Hong Kong permanent residents has been tacitly accepted. Have you ever been able to get a British passport before, and have you considered getting a US passport? ”
Sun Ziming was stunned, why didn't he think of it? In a short period of time, Sun Ziming did not think of the disadvantages of changing nationality, and only thought of its benefits. If you become an American, you can naturally join a party, fund party politicians, and prop up your own spokesperson. With his own economic strength and influence, are you afraid that the U.S. government will stumble on Chinese Freemasonry in the future?
Damn, if you are also a citizen of the United States of America, you can openly establish the North American branch of the Chinese Freemasonry, and even let the British and Irish and Shinzhi come forward to win over Japanese and Korean Americans, and then everyone will jointly form an Asian American Freemasonry and become a political force in the United States, why are you afraid of those politicians in Washington?
Li Rui saw that Sun Ziming was not angry, but a little excited, and cautiously bewitched: "Brother Ming, don't you just want to reassure Americans that you don't target the Chinese Freemasonry?" No matter what you do, how can anyone take a boat to reassure them?
You are a permanent resident of Hong Kong, and when you get a British passport, doesn't the mainland treat you as one of its own? We Chinese are the most flexible, as long as your heart is towards the motherland, who cares what passport you get? ”
This makes sense, because he has only established a few exchange funds between Jingshi universities and famous universities in the United States, and most of his wealth is invested in education in China.
But when the words came to his lips, Sun Ziming hesitated again. Take a British passport, that is to know that after the return of Hong Kong, you can still be considered Chinese by the Chinese people. After the return to the motherland, even if he has a British passport in addition to a Hong Kong passport, others will think that it is a problem left over from history and will not embarrass himself much. However, if you take the initiative to become a U.S. citizen, the nature of the problem will be different, and it will involve the problem of mainland industries. If you become a U.S. citizen, Carrefour, Hanhua Group, Far Eastern Bank and Far Eastern Group will become a joint venture with U.S. holdings, which will face a series of legal problems and national sentiment problems?
Also, last time because of the British passport, he almost made the third brother turn his face with himself, if he applies for American citizenship again, he will not have to fight with himself? The third brother is still like this, what about the eldest uncle and the second uncle? People live not only for themselves, but also for their families!
A basin of cold water was poured down, and Sun Ziming finally shook his head and said, "No, there are too many things to be involved in it." ”
Jiang Peng is a person with clear eyebrows, seeing the hesitant look on Sun Ziming's face, he understood what he was worried about, and hurriedly whispered: "Brother Ming, anyway, half of your family property will be invested in Jingshi University, why not allocate it to Jingshi University now." If the holder of those corporate shares is a university in China, who can say anything? ”
Sun Ziming, who had already made up his mind, still shook his head and said, "No, my situation is different from yours." Family reasons aside, the political environment in a single country does not allow me to do this. I have already made many people dissatisfied with my British passport, and if I suddenly change my nationality, I am afraid there will be big trouble!
Okay, let's not talk about it again, let's talk about today. ”
Jiang Peng secretly regretted that if Brother Ming could become an American citizen, it would not only be of great benefit to the Light and Shadow Group, but also a lot of benefits to himself.
"Brother Ming, you are now desperately blowing up your own material, and it is actually unnecessary to make the image not as perfect as before. The U.S. government is not worried about you at all, but hopes that the 'Chinese Freemasonry' will become a public welfare organization that fights for the status of Chinese politicians, as stated in the constitution. ”
Yes? Sun Ziming and Li Rui were stunned, how could this be?
"Why?"
Jiang Peng lit a cigarette for himself, crying and laughing: "Brother Ming, I really don't understand you." You know the culture and psychology of Americans so well when you shoot "Shawshank" and "Forrest Gump", why do you get confused when it is your turn?
Democracy, equality, and freedom are the founding principles of the United States, which were written into the Declaration of Independence. No matter how the United States is now the world's policeman, interfering in the internal affairs of other countries everywhere under the guise of human rights, and even going to war for its own interests, principle is principle, and no matter who becomes president or congressman, he must abide by the "Declaration of Independence" on the surface!
The purpose and constitution of the Chinese Freemasonry are actually the Asian version of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. election policy. ”
Sun Ziming's mind is full of paste, where is this? Although it seems like that on paper, the Chinese Freemasons were born out of the Xingtian Society, and the Xingtian Society is a standard gangster organization!
"Gangster?"
Jiang Peng couldn't help laughing, "Brother Ming, you are gangsters, and your regime was still a rebel before!" You know the history, they used to grow opium in the name of a specialty, and now they are not also legitimate governments?
As long as you succeed, who cares about your past?
The United States is a commercial country, so let's talk about East Timor. If you can really turn it into a rich country and import a lot of American products, the US government doesn't care if it will become a second Singapore! ”
Sun Ziming and Li Rui's brains are completely messed up, is this still the United States that they usually see?
"Don't understand? Let's put it this way, the United States is a country on the surface, but in essence it is a super company, and the state system of corporatized operation and the action mode of business thinking are the essence of the United States!
Goldman Sachs, Morgan, Citigroup, Microsoft, Intel, Wal-Mart, General Motors, and Mobil are the shareholders of this huge American company, and it is the principle of the United States to put the interests of shareholders first. Culture, commerce, weapons, oil, gold, religion, and even morality, the United States sells it all.
The president, parliament, and justices in the United States, who claim to have three powers of separation of powers, represent the three poles of power in this huge multinational corporation in the United States: the CEO, the board of directors, and the board of supervisors. The three perform their own duties, have a clear division of labor, but check and balance each other, and are deeply aware of the modern enterprise system, and jointly run the United States, the world's largest listed company.
The United States is the quintessential business organization, a shrewd pragmatist, and it is in its nature to be mercenary. It never does things that don't make money, let alone things that lose money and make money. Every action of the United States—trade, diplomacy, war, legislation—can be transformed into a contract. And the dollar is the most powerful commodity that binds countries to the throne of world domination and global domination. Its military is a powerful security service, and when the economic accounts show signs of loss, the United States will use violence to expand its market and squeeze the market share of its competitors.
So, the essence of the United States is a big company! ”
Jiang Peng said a lot, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and joked: "Brother Ming, you are the major shareholders of big companies such as Cisco, Microsoft, and Apple, and you pay tens of millions of dollars in taxes to the government every year, in other words, you are the food and clothing parents of our people, who dares to target you?" ”
Sun Ziming looked at Jiang Peng in shock, although this guy has invested a lot of money in his own investment company, but he holds those stocks in the name of the foundation, how does he know that he is a shareholder of those big companies?
is no longer a subordinate, Jiang Peng is naturally not as awe-inspiring as before, seeing Sun Ziming so shocked, he can't help but laugh: "Brother Ming, your Far East Group is so huge, if the FBI doesn't check you out, then it's weird!" I don't know what they found, but when I stay on Capitol Hill, I can always hear the rumors, not to mention that Mr. President belongs to our party.
Just now I asked you if you have considered becoming an American citizen, and that is what our party bigwigs asked me to ask. You are the big benefactor of our Democratic Party, and if you can become an American citizen, it will be much easier for our party to raise campaign funds in the future. ”
This news was so shocking that Sun Ziming couldn't help but think of Helen's warning, what is going on? Could it be that she is deliberately alarmist?
"Roc, is this your personal opinion, or is it the opinion of your members of Congress?"
Sun Tzu Ming was strict, and Jiang Peng also lost his smile, this big man is his behind-the-scenes supporter, without his funding and influence, he can't be a senator at all.
"Brother Ming, I inquired, the FBI did investigate you, but after learning about your investment in the United States, it immediately stopped the investigation. As I just said, the United States is a commercial society, and if you put business interests first, you have a lot of wealth and great influence, and you have huge common interests with the California consortium, so as long as you don't harm the interests of the United States, no one will dare to worry about you. ”
After a pause, Jiang Peng himself took a few puffs of cigarette, organized his thoughts, and continued: "I know what you are worried about, it is nothing more than whether the Chinese Freemasonry can get the tacit approval of the United States, in fact, you don't have to worry.
Yes, although the United States is a commercial society, it will also focus on national interests and security. If the purpose and political proposition of the Chinese Mutual Aid are in line with the mainstream values of the United States, it will first be morally recognized. Second, your remarks in various public forums show that you do not agree with the ideology of the mainland government, which virtually eliminates the possibility that this organization will be used by the mainland government.
Besides, is the ideology of the current mainland government still the original communism?
Brother Ming, the United States is the boss of the world, an organization of hundreds of thousands of people, and it is still outside the sphere of influence of the mainland government, do they need to worry? Don't forget, the truth is only within the range of artillery, and the US military bases are all over Southeast Asia. ”
Sun Tzu Ming thought about it, the world is under the control of the Americans, as long as the Chinese Freemasons are not anti-American, do they need to guard against an organization that will inevitably go to the public welfare?
The United States today is not the United States ten years later, the Internet wave has made their economy very good, and the mainland government has not grown to the point where they are scruples, and they really will not take the Chinese Freemasonry seriously.
Wrong, myself and Helen were wrong. How can the way of thinking of a small country and a small country understand the idea of a superpower? Just as a hyena cares about what a lion thinks, how can a lion care about what a hyena thinks? The obedient hyena, after he has eaten his fill, let him eat what he eats and the rest, and the disobedient slap to death is! No, if it's disobedient, as long as it doesn't bark its teeth at itself, it won't bother to raise its slap, and a roar can make it tremble.
