Chapter 139 Reasons to Drive an SUV
(Thank you for the monthly pass of my friend Hanyi Shenfei~~)
There is nothing to say about the alliance, what kind of ability you have, what kind of circle you have, you can't force it, and for the competition for fame, Mu Qingcheng feels that it can be operated, and fame is both identity and potential.
With identity, speaking naturally has weight, others will not dare to move you easily, with potential, you can take advantage of the momentum on the basis of momentum, obtain a greater position and stronger momentum, like a snowball step by step.
Kelly asked, "Master, how did Mu Qingcheng get a famous position, do you want him to be an Internet celebrity, or become a star?"
"Eh~~" Yang Lao glared at the past: "That's all a small way, it's just a matter of minutes to do you, what kind of support fans can give, in the eyes of the big forces, I have a proposal, next year the chairman of the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce will be re-elected, Qingcheng, if you are interested in running, the old man will support you on behalf of the New York Hongmen Zhigong Hall and Zhendong Wuguan, and do his best to help you operate." “
"President of the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce?"
Mu Qingcheng and Kelly glanced at each other, and Kelly asked again: "Master, this chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce seems to have no power, as far as I know, the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce is a group made up of some restaurant owners, Chinese supermarkets and small traders, and it has no binding force on the Chinese business community. “
Mu Qingcheng also had the same doubts, but it was inconvenient for him to question them.
Yang Lao stroked his beard and smiled: "You guys, what are you young, what does Qingcheng want, not real power, but fame!"
Regardless of whether the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is a decoration or not, or the best position, at least in public, others should be honored to call Chairman Mu of Qingcheng, or Mr. Mu, and meet with the mayor of New York, called a meeting, what is a meeting? That is, the two sides are in an equal position, if there is no such identity, the mayor of New York City to see him, it is called an audience, a word difference, a world of difference!
Let me give another analogy: If Qingcheng returns to China to do business in the future, as long as the name of the chairman of the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce is displayed, the heads of provincial and municipal governments, the CPPCC, and the United Front Work Department must make an appointment to meet him.
Do you think the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is important?"
Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but think of the Mexican Association of New York, which should be a loose community organization similar to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but Eswal, who has the name of executive president, was stunned to play tricks with the Mexican Association.
Of course, the Chinese are not aggressive and apathetic to politics and cannot copy the Mexican Association of New York, but the basic ideas can be learned.
"Elder Yang, to be the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, at least you must be highly respected, I am young and knowledgeable, how can others choose me?" Mu Qingcheng asked.
Yang Lao shook his head: "Qingcheng, you don't have to be arrogant, in the Chinese business community, who can establish a deep friendship with Miss Catherine? Who can have a $50 billion mine in Africa? Not to mention that you are still the demon king who swept the underground boxing scene in New York, a dignified martial arts master, what's wrong with being this chairman?"
The so-called learning is not the elder and younger, the master is the first, the young is not your burden, under the halo you wear, but an indispensable capital!
You are fully qualified to say, look, how old I am, I have made such a big career, and you, who have been old for decades, are still living in a restaurant and restaurant, with my ability, it is more than enough to be the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce!"
Mu Qingcheng shook slightly, stood up, and bowed deeply: "Thank you Yang Lao for your advice, he will succeed in the future, all of which are the credit of Yang Lao's order, please accept my worship!"
"Don't dare to be!" Yang Lao hurriedly stood up and saluted back: "Personal courage is just the courage of a horseman, a hundred years ago Ma Yongzhen broke into the East Beach, even if he was strong in martial arts, he was inevitably toyed with and died on the street."
Xu Wenqiang was born in the market, because fate will achieve a strong party, but he still died under the indiscriminate gun, but Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and others all died well, why?
Without a name and no position, you will never be able to become a great weapon, and with a famous position, you will be like a tiger with wings to help you achieve great success. “
Mu Qingcheng asked, "Then do I want to do something for the Chinese?"
Yang Lao said solemnly: "I was about to explain to you, the situation of the Chinese is like this, not good, not bad, many people do not have the will to change the status quo, and the Chinese composition is complex, treasure islands, pearls, Southeast Asia, the mainland have, each has its own thoughts, look down on each other, if you become the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, there is no need to spend too much energy on it, after all, what you need is just a position, and you must not sacrifice the essence because of national sentiment!"
Kelly nodded and said: "The master may be a little ugly, but this is the reality, I have seen too many in Chinatown in the past few years, and almost all of the people who are abducted and deceived are your own people, you think about him, he may still think that you have ulterior motives, and you really can't do it." “
"Taught!"
Mu Qingcheng was silent for a long time and arched his hand.
......
This talk talked about noon, for Tang Ning's people, because they are not young, they missed the best opportunity to practice martial arts, so they can only be provided by the martial arts hall to provide simple training in grappling and fighting, and at the same time, the martial arts hall will send two dark disciples to Africa to engage in on-the-spot training, but in terms of military skills, the martial arts hall is powerless, and Mu Qingcheng has to find a way by himself.
After eating, Tang Ning, Black Dog, Da Mao and Chen Dong returned to the freight yard, Kelly sat for a while, and also returned to the police station, Mu Qingcheng was forced to stay, after all, he is a grandmaster-level master, it is rare to have a grandmaster from another faction come to the martial arts hall, how can he just let it go, the martial arts hall takes turns to send disciples to learn from Mu Qingcheng, the martial arts hall has benefited a lot from Mu Qingcheng's strange path, and Mu Qingcheng also has a further understanding of national arts, which can be regarded as having their own gains.
In the evening, Karina's call came, so Mu Qingcheng said goodbye and left.
After waiting for a few minutes in the parking lot of Chinatown, the BMW X6 slowly stopped beside her, and Karina rolled down the window.
Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but rub his eyes.
Karina's clothes have not changed much, they are still based on the relaxed and casual style of a pure little girl, and the makeup is only lightly depicted, but the temperament of the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes, just like women in the workplace, elegant and capable, confident and assertive, especially in less than ten days, a little baby fat on the cheeks is gone.
"Hey~~ Don't you know me?"
Karina waved her hand a little embarrassed.
Mu Qingcheng smiled bitterly: "I really can't imagine what kind of work has made you change so much. ”
Karina asked, "Good or bad?"
Mu Qingcheng groaned: "From the perspective of a pure man, you are more mature and more amorous, and you have almost completed the transformation from a girl to a woman and become more beautiful, but from my standpoint, I would rather you be you ten days ago, after all, you are less than twenty years old, and you have to bear such a heavy burden, my heart hurts a little." “
Karina's eyes were red, she sniffled, and said angrily, "You are so annoying, you want me to cry, don't you?"
Mu Qingcheng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Come on, my baby!"
Karina pushed the car door and threw herself into Mu Qingcheng's arms, as if she couldn't hold it enough, she used all her strength to hold on tightly and didn't let go.
After a long time, Karina was satisfied to push Mu Qingcheng away, looked around, and stretched out her hand: "Go over there to eat hot pot, I'm starving." “
"Okay. Mu Qingcheng nodded.
The hot pot restaurant is just next to the parking lot, and it is a famous hot girl in New York, not only Chinese people love to eat, but many white people are also obsessed with the spicy and spicy taste.
After locking the car, Karina picked up her bag and walked into the store with Mu Qingcheng in tow.
In the evening, it is the meal, the restaurant is bustling, the heat is high, and the dense flue system can fully discharge the unique flavor of hot pot, which also attracts more diners.
The two found a seat on the side, ordered a mandarin duck pot, two bottles of beer and a large table of dishes.
Karina took off her coat, tied her hair up, stretched her waist again, and the striped line shirt outlined her youthful body, Mu Qingcheng couldn't take her eyes off it immediately, after all, Karina is not Catherine, nor Kelly, but her girlfriend, who can look at it unscrupulously.
Karina couldn't help but be ashamed, glared at the past, and took out the car keys from her bag.
"The car is back to you. “
Mu Qingcheng waved his hand: "You take it, I'm useless." “
"That's not good, you live in such a remote area, you can't help but go out, right?" Karina stretched out her arms straight and looked at Mu Qingcheng stubbornly.
Mu Qingcheng asked, "What should you do when you go to work?" Don't tell me to squeeze the subway. ”
"This ......"
Karina hesitated.
Mu Qingcheng smiled: "That's it, tomorrow weekend, I'll buy you another car, don't be polite to me." ”
Karina smiled reservedly, "Then you'll have to come up with an excuse." ”
Mu Qingcheng held his chin, pondered for a while, and said: "It's a Christmas gift for you in advance, okay? What kind of car do you like? Or buy an SUV, which is spacious enough and has enough vision." “
Karina shook her head: "It's too big, it's not too comfortable to drive, buy a small car, in fact, there are not many Americans driving SUVs, almost all the SUVs running on the street are driven by you Chinese, I just don't understand, why Chinese people love to drive SUVs so much, if it is said that it is a car for multiple purposes, but American cars are sold very cheaply, and you can have a few more cars at home, and drive different cars for different purposes." “
Mu Qingcheng said lightly: "This has to be explained from a psychological level, for example, I drive an SUV, roll out the window and turn around and spit out, which is enough to spit on the front windshield of the car, but when I drive a small car, can I vomit on the SUV? Obviously not!"
That is to say, the SUV can smack the face of the car, but the car can't do it, this is the psychological condescending advantage, we Chinese don't care much about the cost performance, care about the psychological satisfaction, I am happy to buy a car, I drive the car, why should I be a head shorter than you? To drive a car to look up, is uncomfortable, this is not to spend money to find uncomfortable? No matter how cheap I don't buy!
For example, if you drive a Mercedes-Benz and I drive a Haval, what's the use of being more expensive than me, I just look at you condescendingly and don't accept it?"
"Flutter!"
A Chinese woman in her thirties in the next seat was eating the bottom of the spicy pot, and suddenly squirted out, which was terrible, the spicy soup flowed backwards into her throat, choking, and the cough was called dark, and the pain was unbearable!
Karina couldn't help but laugh and blamed: "Look at what you said, hurt people...... Oops, I can't stand it, plop!"
As she spoke, Karina threw herself into her arms, giggling and trembling violently.
Mu Qingcheng turned his head apologetically, the woman's coughing face was flushed, and a capable Chinese man sitting opposite took out a tissue and handed it over: "Look at it, you can choke on this, I really convinced you, wipe it quickly, and drink two more sips of beer." “
"Oh, my mom, I'm laughing to death, this guy is a talent, cough~~"
The woman took the tissue and wiped it with a wail of pain.
"Takami, secluded!"
The man also gave Mu Qingcheng a thumbs up.
