A pinch of small black lines on the horizon gradually thickened, and finally showed the appearance of land.

Fan Heyan stood with his hands in his hands, looked into the distance and smiled, and said to Zhou Hexuan and Song Ziwen beside him: "It's finally time to land, Mr. Song and Mr. Zhou, I hope the two of you can show your skills!" ”

"Don't look at me, look at Mr. Zhou." Song Ziwen's tone was still a little strange.

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Don't worry, take your time." ”

Song Ziwen didn't care anyway, he had long lost hope for this trip, and he was even completely disappointed in the Nanjing government.

Historically, since his resignation in 1933, Song Ziwen has focused his energy on investing in finance and industry.

Although during this period, Song Ziwen also stepped in to help with things, such as participating in the pacification of the silver trend and the completion of currency reform, and assisting Song Meiling in resolving the Xi'an Incident, he has been excluded from the core leadership of the government for seven years.

It was not until June 1940 that Soong Ziwen was reactivated by Lao Chiang, and went to the United States to seek economic and military assistance as a personal representative and a representative of the national government, and from then on he became a diplomatic expert from an economic expert.

can make his brother-in-law so angry that he has no intention of being an official, which shows how awesome Chang Kaishen is - Song Ziwen is a person who really wants to do things.

As the ship got closer to the harbor, you could see the crowd and the fluttering flags in the distance.

"It's here, ready to go ashore!" Fan Heyan said to everyone.

The attachés returned to the cabin one after another to get their luggage, and Fan Heyan commanded tightly and orderly, and even warned the attachés to pay attention to etiquette and not to lose the face of Chinese in the United States.

Don't think that Fan Heyan is really here to make soy sauce, this guy is a personal essence, and it is not a fluke to be the deputy secretary general of the central bank. This gentleman is not only a good hand at managing money, but also has a deep knowledge of gold and stone antiques, and will become one of the founders of Taiwan's "United Daily News Department" in the future.

As the ship gradually landed, Fan Heyan was taken aback by the situation on the dock, and couldn't help muttering: "The scene is really big." ”

The welcome scene was indeed very large, and the Chinese with heads and faces all over San Francisco came, and Situ Meitang led the bigwigs of the Hongmen headquarters to greet them in person. Not only that, but the mayor of San Francisco, Rosi, also attended the local theater scene in San Francisco, Hollywood in Los Angeles, and the Writers Guild of the West...... There was a whole host of political, artistic and literary circles.

The entourage all straightened up their waists and followed Zhou Hexuan, Song Ziwen and Fan Heyan to the ground.

Song Ziwen's face was a little unsightly, because he saw several banners in front of him, one of which read "Warmly welcome Mr. Zhou Hexuan and Mr. Mei Lanfang to the United States for exchange", which happened to miss him Song Ziwen. As for Fan Heyan, everyone automatically ignored it.

Fan Heyan also saw the banner, hurriedly gave up his position before landing, turned to Mei Lanfang and said, "Boss Mei, come ahead." ”

"It's fine." Mei Lanfang smiled and didn't care.

So, the scene is a little weird.

Zhou Hexuan and Mei Lanfang stepped on the ground at the same time, and Song Ziwen and Fan Heyan followed closely behind, as if they were their followers.

There is no way, only Zhou Hexuan and Mei Lanfang are famous in the United States, and the Yankees only recognize the two of them. As for Song Ziwen, hehe, Cai Tingkai of the 19th Route Army is more popular than him - the heroic anti-Japanese deeds of the 19th Route Army have been widely reported in the United States, and when Cai Tingkai visited the United States, the mayor of San Francisco also personally greeted him at the pier.

Song Ziwen really became famous in the United States after 1940, when he became well-known to Americans as a diplomat.

San Francisco Mayor Luo Shi took the lead in leading the government officials over, shook hands warmly and said, "Mr. Zhou, Dr. May, on behalf of the San Francisco City Government, I warmly welcome you two!" ”

Mei Lanfang smiled: "Thank you, I am very honored to visit the United States again." ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "Mr. Luo Shi is polite, I grew up in the United States, and the United States is also my hometown, I just go home." ”

"Haha, then, welcome home!" Roth laughed.

Only then did Zhou Hexuan begin to introduce: "Mr. Luo Shi, this is Mr. Song Ziwen, a famous Chinese economist, and a doctor of economics from Columbia University. ”

Luo Shi really didn't know where Song Ziwen was, but the title of Doctor of Economics in Colombia was enough to attract his attention, and he immediately shook hands and said, "Welcome to Dr. Song!" ”

"Thank you!" Song Ziwen glanced at Zhou Hexuan, he was still very satisfied with Zhou Hexuan's introduction - he didn't say that he was Lao Jiang's brother-in-law.

Zhou Hexuan also introduced Fan Heyan, deliberately avoiding his position as the central bank, only saying that Fan Heyan was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and an antiques expert.

Luo Shi introduced a group of officials behind him, as well as representatives of the American art and cultural circles, and after the two sides exchanged ideas, Situ Meitang also brought representatives of overseas Chinese to greet him.

"Old man, long time no see!" Zhou Hexuan hugged his fists.

"It's easy to say," Situ Meitang stroked his beard and laughed, and then said to Mei Lanfang, "Boss Mei, I look forward to you day and night, and finally I can feast my ears again." ”

Mei Lanfang said: "Thanks to the old gentleman's love." ”

Situ Meitang was not so polite to Song Ziwen and Fan Heyan, and just said nonchalantly: "Hello." ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "Old man, Dr. Song is an anti-Japanese faction in the Kuomintang Party, and he advocates actively resisting the war. ”

"Really?" Situ Meitang's attitude immediately turned around, and he hurriedly shook hands again, "Dr. Song, old decay is sluggish, don't you mind." ”

Song Ziwen could only smile bitterly: "It's okay." ”

Since the outbreak of the "918 Incident", Hongmen in the United States has actively participated in the anti-Japanese movement to save the country, and initiated overseas Chinese to raise funds to support the motherland's anti-Japanese war. Situ Meitang even personally took the money and materials raised from the fundraiser to Shanghai by boat to visit the 19th Route Army, and publicly and severely condemned Chang Kaishen's policy of non-resistance.

As for Song Ziwen, he did not openly promote the idea of the War of Resistance, but only opposed the senseless civil war, and advocated making every effort to develop the national economy and accumulate national strength to deal with the future Sino-Japanese war. Even so, Soong Ziwen is already a very rare "anti-Japanese" - his economic policies have offended too many officials, and he has been "slandered" by political opponents as radical anti-Japanese.

Song Ziwen only knew that Zhou Hexuan was very famous in the United States, but it was not until this moment that he had an intuitive feeling.

From the pier to the hotel, everywhere the delegation went, both Chinese and Americans, warmly welcomed and respected Zhou Hexuan. The mayor of San Francisco, Luo Shi, simply became Zhou Hexuan's follow-up tour guide, speaking with infinite respect.

Song Ziwen couldn't understand why Zhou Hexuan, a historian and writer, could make Americans worship him so much? Scholars and officials can easily understand that they may admire Zhou Hexuan's knowledge and talent, but why do ordinary Americans welcome Zhou Hexuan so much?

It's very simple, because "Titanic" has swept the United States, and various adapted dramas have been performed countless times, and this book alone can make Zhou Hexuan receive preferential treatment from the Yankees.

If anyone still can't understand, then you can associate it a little, Harry Potter. What would happen if Rowling visited China......
