Chapter 139: Anger
Thank you for your support, it's going to be on the shelves at this time next week, I'll try to put the public with more, hehe, summon tickets!~~
Ye Tianyun and Sun Yongren, as well as Levi who was reluctant to come, after discussion, the three of them drove towards Harrison's address.
Ye Tianyun looked at the scenery and asked, "Is Harrison's home on the other side?"
Levi was overtaking a car, so he replied a little sluggishly, "Well, we're going to cross the Golden Gate Bridge first, and after that's the north of San Francisco, which is the rich neighborhood, and we usually call Nobhill, and they have fifty percent of the wealth of all of San Francisco, and Harrison lives on the estate there, and he's the best there."
Sun Yongren asked with some curiosity: "So he is still a rich man? I doubt that he is bragging!"
Levi drove his BMW, and said with some complaints: "You better be careful, Harrison is different from other rich people, he is a true religious believer, in the land of San Francisco, as long as he shouts Allah supremacy, then at least tens of thousands of fanatical ****** can be gathered." ”
Sun Yongren took out the gum from his pocket and said, "What are you afraid of, he's just an obscene old man, he still owes me ten dollars when I played cards with him last time!" After speaking, he took out a piece and put it in his mouth, and threw the candy paper out of the window.
Levi would not believe this kind of words, he felt that Sun Yongren was obviously slandering Harrison, so his face changed and said: "Dear friend, I hope you can understand the current situation, Harrison is not something that the three of us can fight against, he is basically equal to half of Allah Allah in San Francisco, as long as he says that we are sinners, then we will never be at peace!" Levi did not have the heart to drive the car at all, it seemed that he had seen tens of thousands of believers rushing towards him.
Ye Tianyun glared at Sun Yongren and said, "After all, it's the United States now, not on the cruise ship, in case Harrison turns his face, then we will be really in trouble." After saying that, he turned to Levi and asked, "What kind of business does he do?"
Levi touched his head and said, "It seems that it is mainly oil, and it also does some smuggling business, after all, this is the West Coast." ”
Ye Tianyun was also slightly surprised when he heard it, he didn't expect Harrison to be an oil tycoon and smuggling predator, energy has become the most important thing in this era, whoever masters it is equivalent to mastering wealth and power at the same time, fortunately he turned enemies into friends with him on the cruise ship, otherwise he really stabbed the basket, thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Sun Yongren.
Sun Yongren understood what he meant when he saw Ye Tianyun's eyes, so he said a little innocently: "You also know that I didn't mean it, besides, I have already become friends with him." ”
Just when he arrived at the Golden Gate Bridge, Levi went to the toll office and paid the money before he said with some dissatisfaction: "My business is here, and my home is indeed in the city center, and I don't know how many times I have to pay for crossing the bridge every day." ”
Ye Tianyun looked at the opposite side before saying: "The rhythm of life on the two sides is too far apart, there are not many cars in the rich area, and people look very leisurely. ”
Levi sighed and said, "I've been here for five years, and I'd love to go back because I know the history of San Francisco well." ”
Sun Yongren was a little surprised: "Now everyone wants to go abroad, but you want to go back, are you crazy?"
Levi did not calculate with him, but said very heavily: "In fact, a large part of this land was developed by us Chinese, but at harvest time, they did not let us pick the fruit, because they discriminated against the Chinese." ”
He went on to say with some anger: "More than 100,000 cheap Chinese laborers joined the ranks of miners and road builders in the western development of the United States, and the English word coolie was transliterated from the Chinese word coolie during this period. Due to the very poor working and living conditions, the mortality rate due to illness and work-related injuries is quite high, and the bones of the dead laborers who have been transported back to China alone are thousands of corpses. Later, the U.S. government banned Chinese from mailing corpses back to China, and many people were buried on the land. ”
Ye Tianyun frowned slightly when he heard this: "So the Chinese don't get the corresponding status here?"
Levi shook his head and said, "Not only does it have no status, after digging gold mines and repairing railways, many Chinese want to stay on this continent for which they have shed blood and sweat and fought for their lives, but they are not welcomed by the US government, as evidenced by the legislation at that time." Immediately after the railroad was built, the California government enacted a law prohibiting more Chinese laborers from entering the United States. At that time, the law also stipulated that Chinese could not buy land and real estate in the United States, could not marry with Americans, could not become American naturals, and Chinese relatives could not come to the United States for reunion. Despite these harsh and discriminatory laws, many Chinese have overcome various difficulties to stay and continue living in the United States. So the U.S. government restricted the area where Chinese lived, and set aside a place on the beach in San Francisco for Chinese to live in, that is, Chinatown, which is actually a product of discrimination. ”
Sun Yongren's face was undisguised after hearing this, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Americans are really not things, in fact, they are no worse than the Japanese. ”
Ye Tianyun looked out the window but didn't speak, but there was a cold feeling in his eyes.
Ever since Levi had said this, the atmosphere in the car had cooled down and even been a little depressing.
No one spoke, the car drove fast, and after a while, they arrived at Harrison's manor, Ye Tianyun took out a poster and handed it to the security guard guarding the door, and then began to wait.
Harrison's estate was built at the foot of the mountain, and he must have built a road leading to it himself, and it was only a two- or three-minute walk to the sea, which should belong to the diamond lot.
The wall is about a kilometer long, and you can't see the inside from the outside, because the three-meter-high wall wraps the inside very tightly.
Sun Yongren couldn't help but exclaim when he saw it: "Big deal! Harrison really didn't lie to me, let alone a few hundred cows, even a thousand can be released!"
Levi was also a little skeptical after looking at this place, so he said, "There has been no response for so long, is it that we are in the wrong place." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden door suddenly and slowly opened.
