Mr. Joseph Babcock of Standard Oil discovered mahjong in Suzhou and brought it to the American circle in Shanghai. Mr. Babcock is the Prometheus of the American mahjong industry.

Mr. Jim White's contribution was to bring mahjong back to the United States from Shanghai and to promote it in the form of a mahjong club. Mr. Jim White is the Prometheus No. 2 in the American mahjong industry.

The original intention of the White brothers was to make the American people understand and enjoy the game of mahjong.

The American people have indeed fallen in love with mahjong, which has made mahjong props a sought-after item.

People who do not forget their original intentions deserve our respect.

However, in these turbulent years, people who have made a certain degree of adjustment to their original intentions are full of people around you and me.

In order to expand its influence and business scope, the White Brothers Mahjong Club was upgraded to the American Mahjong League.

The headquarters of the American Mahjong League is located on 50th Street in Manhattan, and the league's headquarters has undergone some renovations on the basis of the White Brothers Mahjong Club.

Objectively speaking, the person who has contributed the most to the mahjong industry in the United States is Jim White.

Li Kangping helped Jim White's mahjong club revise the mahjong scoring rules that are in line with American habits, and Li Kangping wholesaled 400 mahjong pairs to the United States--- which was the first big order in the American mahjong industry.

Unfortunately, those who contributed were all reduced to wage earners of the Jewish capitalist syndicate.

At the moment, it seems that the most money made from mahjong is the Strauss family's Macy's.

A few months ago, Li Kangping sold his 400 mahjong pairs to Macy's, which was inevitably suspected of "aiding and abusing".

On the other hand, Li Kangping is also a wage earner who has been exploited and teased.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and Li Kangping received an invitation from Jim White. Jim White invited Li Kangping to join the American Mahjong League.

"Li, I really didn't expect that the American mahjong industry would develop into its current situation in just half a year." Jim White said with a complicated expression.

Li Kangping smiled bitterly: "Who said it wasn't." ”

Jim White reluctantly said, "We sowed the seed, but it was the Jews who reaped the fruit!" But we will not back down, cowards will run away! I will lead the American Mahjong League and continue to sow seeds throughout the United States! Hawaii, Alaska, where our influence will spread, and the sound of mahjong will reverberate in the warm woods and icy snow! ”

"Uncle Jim, this is back to the topic. The U.S. Mahjong League continues to promote mahjong, and the number of people in the U.S. who learn and enjoy mahjong is expected to continue to grow. Aren't the Jews, or those who only do wholesale and retail mahjong business, in vain? They will still rob us of the abundant fruits of the seeds we have worked so hard to sow. ”

"Lee, you know, this is no way to do it, if you want to monopolize a treasure, there must be countless guns pointed at you, either light or dark. Regardless, you are the inventor of the American mahjong scoring rules, and you are welcome to join the American Mahjong League! ”

It's all here, of course Li Kangping has to play a few games of mahjong.

"Uncle Jim, would you like to have something exciting?" Li Kangping smiled mysteriously.

Jim White said with interest: "Exciting? Tell us about your exciting gameplay. ”

Li Kangping threw the dice, and he turned over a mahjong --- three of a kind according to the number of points of the dice.

"I'll call this three of a kind Laiz, Laizi." Li Kangping explained.

The crowd excitedly said, "Oh, Laizi? It looks amazing. ”

Li Kangping continued to explain: "Before we build mahjong and draw cards, we randomly turn over Laizi, which can be three of a kind, or 50,000, nine cylinders or chickens, it can be any card. When you enter the game, Raizi can play any card, I say that, can you understand? ”

Jim White quickly understood what Raiko meant, and he laughed: "Raiko, it's exciting enough!" The addition of Laizi will speed up the progress of the game! Yes, I love Yoriko! ”

The crowd excitedly said, "If we have Laizi, our probability of winning a high score hand will be greatly increased!" ”

Li Kangping asked: "I want to ask everyone, if you have a laizi to win, then the points you get will be doubled on the base score, and in the same way, two, three, and four laizi continue to double, do you think this scoring rule can be added?" ”

"Oh my God, it's so exciting!"

"Why not!"

"Four Laizi won the game, it's also fantastic to think about!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for coming up with the new rules again, now, let's start the game with the Laizi rules!"

Extremely catering to the psychology of American players seeking excitement, Laizi gameplay quickly spread at the headquarters of the American Mahjong League.

Li Kangping is also a sower, and what he did, he invented a series of mahjong scoring rules, made him the No. 3 in the American mahjong industry.

After doing a round of mahjong market research, the calendar turned to September.

There was good news from the European side, the first of which was that Professor Woodgate had received an invitation to the Solvay meeting.

The Solvay Conference is the most authoritative and solemn conference in the international physics community, which is held every three years and is held in Brussels, Belgium.

The 1921 Solvay Conference was to be held in October under the theme "Atoms and Electrons", which was already decided in March of this year.

The list of participants for this year's Solvay Conference was also confirmed in June this year. Professor Woodgate was not originally on the invitation list for the Solvay conference, but he is now invited to attend on an ad hoc basis, presumably European physicists have already read "The Silver Atomic Beam Method Validates the Theory of Space Quantization", and this paper has had a certain influence on the European physics community.

"Congratulations, Professor!" Li Kangping sent his most sincere congratulatory message.

Li Kangping was of course eager to attend the Solvay Conference, which was full of bigwigs, but he was not invited to the Solvay Conference in 1921. In 1924 or 1927, I hoped to have the opportunity to attend the Solvay Conference.

"Unexpected, really unexpected!" Professor Woodgate couldn't hide his joy.

"The theme of this year's Solvay Conference is 'Atoms and Electrons', and our space quantization experiment does exactly this kind of research, and teaches you that you are an authoritative scholar in the field of atoms and electronics, so it is no surprise that you should attend the Solvay Conference." Li Kangping said objectively and fairly.

"That's right, but ...... In any case, I will bring our research results to the greatest extent possible to express our academic views at the conference. Lee, Allen, I'm probably going to be back in the U.S. in November or December, and I'll definitely be back before Christmas. When I went to the conference, Lee was in charge of the lab. Okay, gentlemen, get busy with your business, and I'm going to go about mine. ”

Professor Woodgate left everything from his work to concentrate on preparing for the Solvay Conference.

This is not some street talk, but a Solvay meeting.

Even if you go to the Solvay conference and paddle and applaud, your value will skyrocket when you come back.
