Chapter 221: Qualifications
As a very famous scientist in the United States, Ms. Zhu Liwen is very famous among the Chinese. But it is a pity that when she was young, in order to integrate into American society, she did not learn Chinese very well.
This is also a very sad place for some ABCs, in order to gain recognition in American society, they do not fight to achieve their own demands like black people, but through self-separation. The cultural fragmentation of the self and the pursuit of perfection, thinking that in this way they can gain the approval of white people. Blindly believe that as long as they can get closer to white people in behavior, ideology, and even genes, they can gain the recognition of American society.
However, there are actually very few ethnic groups in the world that are linked by culture like the Chinese. This kind of self-separation and integration into white society is ridiculously based on the theory of Mengyuan pseudo-Confucianism. ABC thinks that in the United States, you can enter the country and enter the summer, but you don't know that most societies in this world still look at faces.
There are even ABCs who are more disgusted with Chinese and even yellow people than whites, looking for whites to exchange blood and be two devils. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, while shouting in Chinese, "I am Chinese, don't shoot!" "ABC, who is holding the fire vigorously, don't hesitate to be killed directly like this.
In any case, these Chinese American elites in the 100-member Association are much better than this kind of two-devil banana people.
Unfortunately, the overall educational attainment of the Chinese is even lower than that of Indians among ethnic minorities, and the proportion of Chinese over the age of 25 with a college degree or higher is 51.8%, which is twice the average in the United States.
Even though the Chinese are such a good group, they are still outside the mainstream of American society. Looking at the Hollywood film and television circles in the United States. Where can I find a Chinese celebrity coming out? Able to compare to Denzel. Washington or Will. Herbert Smith comes, even if it's Dwayne Johnson. Neither. American television can openly insult and discriminate against Chinese people, but they dare not cross the line against black people in the slightest. Is this a lack of quality among Chinese Americans? Not. It is caused by the idea that the Chinese do not want to rebel but want to compromise with white society.
Oh, and of course there is the only Keanu Reeves in Hollywood who is close to the Chinese, claiming that his father is a Chinese-Hawaiian. But in reality only one-eighth of Chinese ancestry, hehe, one-eighth.
Ms. Zhu Liwen's life has come from this stage. Born in 1948, she experienced the height of modern blacks fighting for their rights as a young woman. So after she succeeded in her career, she joined the cause of improving the status of Chinese in the United States. Facts have also proved that even if they are already Americans, Chinese people will still be excluded, labeled and socially discriminated against. And the establishment of the Committee of 100. It is a reflection on this practice of self-cultural fragmentation.
It turns out that in a society like the United States, the only way to be respected is to respect oneself first. Americans, and even Europeans, always think only of fists.
"I didn't expect Professor Zhu's Chinese to be so good." Zhou Shuo said with some surprise.
Zhu Liwen replied humorously: "It's just this sentence, it's just a temporary cram!" Don't dare to continue, otherwise you will be exposed. ”
"Coffee, or tea?" Li Zhi skillfully adapted to the identity of the hostess and warmly entertained her.
"Tea, Xie Luxie." Zhu Liwen nodded and smiled.
Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand and invited her to sit on the sofa, just facing the drizzle outside. Looking at the distance between the water and the sky. The tranquil waters and grey skies of Lake Washington are truly indescribably pleasant.
"When I heard that Mr. Zhou had arrived in the United States, I wanted to come over for a long time, but I never got in touch." After Zhu Liwen sat down. Said with some regret.
"Blame me, blame me, I've been a little too busy these past few months." Zhou Shuo touched his head, and said with a smile.
Zhu Liwen owes herself. took the teacup from Li Zhi's hand and said with a smile: "I have long heard of Mr. Zhou's achievements. It's really a glory for the Chinese. In the Internet industry, who doesn't know your name now. ”
"Professor Zhu is really awarded!" Zhou Shuo waved his hand. But he also said with some pride: "It's not so much what I have achieved, but the achievements of more ordinary Chinese behind me." ”
Zhou Shuo said with emotion: "Don't look at me, I only have a development team of more than 20 people in the United States, but behind this team is the support of at least 20 times the staff in China." In the country, I also have thousands of workers in two factories. The Pan-Han Research Institute, which I single-handedly established, has established a cooperative relationship with scientists from the Chinese Academy of Engineering. I couldn't do anything without them. ”
Zhou Shuo said that these are of course not simple modesty, but hope to block Zhu Liwen's request. In the eyes of the ABC of the United States in this era, it should be a great honor to be able to become an American citizen. After all, the Americans have just defeated the Soviet Union, and as a unipolar world in the world, they naturally have reasons to be proud. No matter how ABC says it, he is also an American, and loving the United States is not a problem.
However, if she is really asked to open this mouth first, and then Zhou Shuo refuses, the two of them will always look bad on their faces. Since this is the case, he might as well find a reason that the other party can understand first, and just turn this matter over. Pointing out one's foundation in China is the key to success in the United States, which is the reason given by Zhou Shuo.
Zhu Liwen put down the teacup, was silent for a moment, and said with a disappointed smile: "I originally wanted to persuade Mr. Zhou to become a naturalized citizen in the United States, but it seems that I was indeed too wishful thinking." ”
"I believe that in another 20 years, Professor Zhu will be proud of his Chinese identity." Zhou Shuo said with an oath.
"Of course, I've always been proud to be Chinese." Zhu Liwen said proudly.
Zhou Shuo changed his words, nodded and continued: "However, I am still very interested in joining the Committee of 100, and I am very willing to do something for the social status of our Chinese in the United States. Ms. Yuqiong, the general manager of our Six Ears Software Company, has already obtained a green card, I wonder if Lu Dao can join the 100 Club instead of me? ”
"Although the application requirements of the Committee of 100 are very strict, it is an open organization." Zhu Liwen nodded and said, "As long as it can pass the review of the committee, any Chinese American can join." ”
"Passed the review......" Zhou Shuo pondered for a moment and nodded unconsciously.
As an elite organization of Chinese Americans, the Committee of 100 is difficult to join and has few members, and the Skull and Bones Association, which is also an elite organization, is simply a street club compared to it. If you don't have a title that can't fit on A4 paper, people won't look at you. It can be seen how high the requirements of this organization are for the review of newcomers.
To say that Yu Qiong's strength is not weak, after Zhou Shuo leaves the United States, the North Dynasty Computer and the Six Ears Software Company will be under her command. But even so, it was not enough for Yu Qiong to become a member of the Committee of 100.
In fact, if it weren't for Zhou Shuo's graphene paper published before, he would not have entered Zhu Liwen's field of vision so easily and was actively recommended by her. This kind of scientist, who is at the top level in the United States, how can he be impressed by a few pieces of green paper in his eyes?
"Okay, I got it." Zhou Shuo closed his eyes and thought about it, and nodded slowly.
For Yu Qiong, financial resources are not a problem, but in terms of fame, especially preferably academic fame, it must be made up to be able to qualify. If she were on her own, it would undoubtedly be a long process. After all, achievements like graphene, which are enough to win the Nobel Prize, are not something that can be picked up on the street.
"In addition to that, I have some things that I would like to ask Professor Zhu for help. I know that this is the first time we have met, and it is a bit presumptuous to make such a request, but the development of the domestic industry is really urgent. Zhou Shuo said sincerely: "I hope that Professor Zhu can come forward and help me recruit some researchers in the United States." ”
Zhu Liwen raised her eyebrows and did not immediately express her opinion. She picked up the teacup, crossed Erlang's legs, and slowly took a sip of tea.
She held her head high and said with a slight smile: "I personally admire Mr. Zhou's academic and business talents, but you should also know that although I am a member of the Committee of 100, I am also an American. ”
She stared at Zhou Shuo with both eyes, carefully chose her words, and said seriously with an attitude that did not stimulate Zhou Shuo as much as possible: "If it is the internal help of the Association of Hundred, I am naturally duty-bound. But if a foreign businessman asks me to help him catch up with the U.S. tech industry, I'm sorry I can't say yes. ”
"Tsk." Zhou Shuo sighed slightly in his heart, Zhu Liwen obviously still did not dispel the idea of wooing herself to become an American citizen. I just don't know if the reason why she is so active comes from the development of the Committee of 100, or whether there are some factors in the US government.
Zhou Shuo pursed his lips and said regretfully: "To be honest, Professor Zhu may be a little disappointed, I think I will return to China in a short time." ”
"But—" He stood up, lowered his head and took two steps, and asked tentatively, "If Ms. Yu Qiong can obtain enough qualifications to enter the Hundred People Council during this time, can you do me this favor?" ”
"Of course there is no problem, it is very normal for the members of the Committee of 100 to help each other." Zhu Liwen shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile.
In her opinion, if a person can achieve the achievement of joining the 100 Association in a short period of time, can the 100 Club still be called the 100 Association? Although the 100-person Association is still only four or five years old, it is not the result of more than ten or twenty years of struggle to be able to reach their social status. Zhu Liwen is confident that Zhou Shuo will still choose to become an American citizen in the future. After all, for a businessman, of course, only the United States is the place where he can really show his strength.
Zhou Shuo smiled, nodded vigorously and said, "I think that after Ms. Yu Qiong joins the 100 People's Club, she will also demand herself with this helpful standard." ”
Zhu Liwen smiled slightly and shook her head, still not believing that Zhou Shuo would be able to push Yu Qiong into the 100-person meeting. (To be continued......)
