After Cao Yongluo finished reading the content of the book the next day, he made a phone call with Zhou Xin and talked about it roughly.

Zhou Xin couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, Zhao Zhihua had very few impressions in his mind.

Originally, Zhou Xin thought that New Oriental would use the contract they signed, and then contact him to publish a book or something.

It's possible that New Oriental contacted him, but he didn't see too many emails in his mailbox. Unexpectedly, the first to publish the book was a classmate he could only say he knew.

Zhou Xin doesn't have a good way to solve this, if he wants to solve it, as long as he himself has this will, please ask Cao Yongluo, using the relationship between Cao Yongluo's family can definitely solve it.

However, there are still big hidden dangers in this solution, first of all, using public power to do things for private individuals, and not going through the relevant processes.

It seems that this is nothing to do now, and it may be problematic to do so when I return to China in the future.

Therefore, when Cao Yongluo asked him on the phone if he wanted him to come forward to help solve this matter, Zhou Xin refused.

At best, this solution will stop the book from being published, and it will not work for the hundreds of thousands of copies that have already been sold.

Hundreds of thousands of copies of the original have been sold, not to mention piracy.

It is impossible not to deal with this matter, this is not only an infringement of his own right to reputation, if he does not deal with it, I don't know what kind of trouble will be made in the future.

For example, the masters of domestic success studies regard him as an archway, saying that they have taught Zhou Xin, so Zhou Xin can achieve such great success.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xin could only think of contacting a law firm specializing in this area in China to sue individuals and enterprises that infringed on his right to reputation.

Anyway, he has the money to afford a lawsuit.

However, this method is inefficient, and Huaguo's punishment for this kind of infringement of the right to reputation is very light, and it is difficult to truly deter this group of people who want to make profits by rubbing his popularity.

This is also a problem for Zhou Xin, even in 2020, it is difficult to hold this kind of behavior accountable, let alone now.

Two words, headache.

Zhou Xin planned to put this matter aside for a while, he had a dinner with Yang Zhiyuan in the evening, Yang Zhiyuan asked him to dress more formally, saying that he had a friend to introduce him.

When Zhou Xin left Beverly Hills in a tattered second-hand GM, the property in the community knew at a glance that this was Newman, who had become famous in the past year.

In the entire Beverly Hills, only Zhou Xin drove such a bad car that the property and some neighbors thought the young Chinese had some quirks.

"Newman, long time no see, this is Li Xihui, Robert Lee, vice chairman of California Blue Shield Insurance Group."

Yang Zhiyuan was very enthusiastic and did not regard Zhou Xin as an enemy because of the multiple rounds of competition between Yahoo and Zhou Xin's companies.

Business belongs to business, friendship belongs to friendship, Yang Zhiyuan has a deep identity with the identity of Chinese, so as a famous entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, he believes that he and Zhou Xin naturally have a lot of common topics.

Yang Zhiyuan would call Zhou Xin out from time to time to get together.

After shaking hands with Li Xihui, Zhou Xin said, "Hello, I'm glad to have met another Chinese senior. ”

At the same time, Zhou Xin thought to himself that Blue Shield Insurance is quite famous, and he can often see the stores and advertisements of this insurance company.

But the problem is that insurance company executives can't fight with Yang Zhiyuan, unless Blue Shield Insurance wants to advertise on Yahoo.

It's even stranger to come and see yourself.

Li Xihui was full of smiles, and in order to appear more enthusiastic, he shook Zhou Xin's hand a few times up and down a few times.

"It's also a pleasure to meet you, it's really scary now, I'm still an undergraduate at the University of Southern California at your age.

We're also alumni in a sense, and I did my MBA at Berkeley.

And I also have a lot of achievements in the field of the Internet, much stronger than when I was younger, and even more accomplished at the age of twenty than when I was sixty. ”

Li Xihui was extremely modest, mainly Zhou Xin rummaged through his memories and didn't know what the other party was about.

However, just being the vice chairman of Landun Insurance as a Chinese is already very powerful, and it has already broken the ceiling of the Chinese, and it belongs to a famous Chinese.

The other party was so polite to him, Zhou Xin would definitely not slap his face, and after a few words of greeting, Li Xihui then asked:

"Did you know that Ameriken has always had a tradition of association?"

Zhou Xin nodded, secret societies, and later many sources of conspiracy theories were secret societies in Europe and the United States.

The Illuminati, the Skull and Bones Society, etc., are all secret societies in a sense.

Including when Zhou Xin was a doctoral student at Berkeley, Lighthizer's grandson joined a certain brotherhood.

The fraternity is part of the tradition of secret societies at Ameriken University.

Zhou Xin, as a Chinese, has a natural resistance to these, what age is it, and he is still engaged in this set.

When he was in Berkeley, he was also invited by a secret Chinese society to participate, but he declined.

"I know, there are also fraternities similar to secret societies in our university, and when I first came, no fraternity invited me to participate, but later after I was a PhD, someone invited me to participate."

Li Xihui continued: "Zhiyuan and I are both members of a club called the Committee of 100, which is different from the university fraternity, and we don't do that kind of young people's activities.

Our main focus is on socializing, funding Chinese education, and promoting political and economic exchanges between China and America.

I am one of the earliest founders of the Committee of 100, and now the chairman of the Committee of 100, and Zhiyuan is also our member.

This time, let Zhiyuan introduce me and you as an intermediary, and the 100 people will also hope to invite you to join our organization.

Our members include I.M. Pei, Yang Zhenning, etc., and a large number of outstanding Chinese in various fields are members of the Committee of 100. ”

After listening to this, Zhou Xin immediately understood, the Association of 100, a very famous Chinese organization, and almost a little famous Chinese in the United States are all members of the Committee of 100.

Famous people like Yau Chengtong, Locke Jiahui, Zhang Zhongmou, Wu Jianxiong, etc., Li Kaifu also joined this organization, and he is not even a Chinese coffee in it.

Hu Zhengming had talked to him about the 100-member meeting, and he was not qualified to join the 100-member meeting when he was just an ordinary professor.

When he was qualified to join the 100-person meeting, there was Zhang Zhongmou in the 100-person meeting, and he and Zhang Zhongmou had different ideas, so he never joined the 100-person meeting.

It is also important to note that Hu Zhengming does not like to join such organizations.

In 2003, when Yau Chengtong, Liu ZY, Pei Minxin and other five people joined the 100 Association, in fact, Hu Zhengming could also go in with him.

Yau doesn't need much introduction, Liu ZY was hired as the president of CUHK at the time and then was pulled in by the Committee of 100, Pei Minxin is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Zhou Xin's view of the 100-person meeting is relatively neutral, and he has only heard about it from Hu Zhengming before, and he has never dealt with it.

Unexpectedly, it has only been a year since I came to Ameriken, and the Association of 100 people came to the door, "I want to know what obligations I need to take on and what I can get, I can roughly guess." ”

In addition, Zhou Xin seemed to remember something: "I remember that the 100-person meeting seems to have to be an American, right?"

I'm afraid that a Chinese like me, who has only taken a green card, does not meet the requirements of the Committee of 100? ”

Li Xihui took a sip of wine from his glass and said: "At the beginning, the rules formulated by our founders, Mr. I.M. Pei and Mr. Yo-Yo Ma, were to promote exchanges between China and Ameriken and promote relations between the two countries.

At the same time, he spoke for the Chinese community in Americon and fought for more voice for all Chinese Americans.

Our initial request was indeed to recruit only Ameriken citizens.

But it's been almost 10 years since the establishment of the Committee of 100, and the earth is about to enter the 21st century, and we need to change, so we have changed the rules and allowed one Chinese citizen with an Ameriken green card to join the Committee of 100 every year. ”

After speaking, Li Xihui paused for a moment: "It can be said that it was your appearance that made us decide to change the rules."

If Newman, who is famous in Silicon Valley, does not join the 100 Club, then what is the significance of the so-called elite of the 100 Club?

And we have discussed this topic in depth internally, in order to promote the relationship between China and America, a society needs not only American Chinese, but also representatives of China.

Not only have we revised the admission rules, but we have also sponsored the Amerion-Chinese student community only in the previous membership fee of the 100-member club, and from this year onwards, we will also sponsor outstanding Chinese students. ”

Although the Committee of 100 is an American organization, during the period when the American government was able to impose tariffs, it called on the American government to adopt dialogue to resolve differences.

In 2019, the Committee of 100, together with the Americon Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Chinese American Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Chinese Federation of Overseas Chinese, issued a statement calling on the Americon government to withdraw new tariffs on Chinese goods.

To put it simply, a hundred people will be much better than many gods and goddesses who run out.

"As for what you need to do, you may need to participate in the internal activities of the Committee of 100, and our fixed annual membership fee is $1,000, which is a small amount for you.

At the same time, if you need it, you can mention it to us, and we will find a way to help you solve it. ”

Yang Zhiyuan took over: "That's right, judging from my experience of joining the 100 Association, the 100 People Association has helped in many places.

It's a great non-political organization that can help you expand your network at Ameriken.

Newman, it's entirely up to you whether or not to join the 100 Club, I'm just from a friend's point of view, and I think it will help you integrate into the Amerioncan society faster. ”

Yang Zhiyuan was also recruited as a member of the 100 Association after his business emerged in Silicon Valley.

Zhou Xin also wanted to go back and carefully collect the information of the 100-person meeting, so he said: "I am very grateful to the 100-person association for valuing me so much, and I don't rule out joining the 100-person association, but because I don't know enough about the 100-person meeting."

I'd like to go back and take a closer look before replying. Whether or not I join the 100 will not affect my friendship with the 100 Society.

One more question, if I don't join, will the 100 people club still recruit members of the Chinese country this year? ”

Have you seen the organization of the 100-person meeting in other articles about the rebirth of America?
