The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 43 President Lin is really good at judging people

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen and Mr. Li for becoming the new directors of the association."

"The original intention of establishing the Ningyang Guild Hall was to enable the people of Xinning to help each other. The guild hall mainly serves as a bridge. It also helps local Chinese workers solve some practical difficulties."

The board vote went smoothly, and Wu Shiying congratulated the two with a normal expression.

"That's easy to say. I'm a kind-hearted person. I joined the guild just to contribute my own strength and help those fellow countrymen who are in trouble. If anyone is unemployed, they can come to me and I will definitely arrange a job for them!" Chen Zhengwei laughed and walked to an empty chair and sat down.

Wu Shiying paused at these words, and the faces of the others also looked a little strange.

Who doesn’t know what Chen Zhengwei does now?

He introduced me to a job? To be his thug, right?
"If you want to become fat in one bite, be careful not to choke to death!" Fatty Li had no intention of sitting down at all. He walked to the door, turned back and sneered at Chen Zhengwei, then pushed the door and left.

There was no point for him to stay here. From what happened just now, he knew Chen Zhengwei's style of doing things.

There was no point in him continuing to tangle with Chen Zhengwei here, so he might as well go back and arrange for someone to kill him.

He knew that Chen Zhengwei had led his men to fight two battles with Danshan Hall in the past two days, resulting in heavy casualties.

"Fatty Li, don't forget to mop up the garbage on the ground! Have a little sense of public morality!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"Hmph!" Fatty Li's cold snort came from the corridor.

Chen Zhengwei narrowed his eyes and looked at Fatty Li's back, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

If it weren’t for An Songtang, he would have shot Fatty Li to death just now.

But if that happens, Ansongtang will attack this afternoon, and his men won't be able to withstand it.

Even if I want to kill Fatty Li, I can't do it now, and certainly not here.

Yan Qingyou, Chen Zhenghu and others poked their heads inside to look. Chen Zhengwei raised his hand to indicate that he was fine and they could leave.

Wu Shiying then brought up the old matter again, saying that the situation of the Chinese has been getting worse and worse recently, the Investigation Bureau has always been causing trouble for Chinese factories, and the city government is also promoting a regulation to restrict Chinese laundries.

"Everyone can discuss any ideas they have, after all, these things involve each and every one of us!" said Wu Shiying.

"Protest! Let everyone in Chinatown go out to protest! Put pressure on the San Francisco city government and let them know that we Chinese are not easy to bully!" someone shouted immediately.

"If protesting was useful, you wouldn't be in this situation!" Chen Zhengwei lazily sneered from the side. The other party was immediately speechless and dared not to argue.

Chen Zhengwei's brutal behavior just now really frightened them all.

"What does Boss Chen think?" Wu Shiying asked. Although he didn't like Chen Zhengwei, he still had to do some face-saving work.

"What is the United States? It's a capitalist country! Do you know what capitalism is?" Chen Zhengwei sneered and said after looking around at everyone.

"For this country, there are only two most important things: votes! The other is money!"

"Why do Chinese people have a low status? Because Chinese people are not eligible to vote. Even if all of them die, it will have no impact on the San Francisco government!"

"If Chinese people were eligible to vote... San Francisco has a population of only over 200,000, and Chinese people account for one-fifth of the population. They would have to think carefully before they speak loudly to you!"

“So the first thing is to naturalize all the Chinese in Chinatown!”

"Boss Chen has only been here for a short time and doesn't know the ins and outs of this. We have thought about these things before, but they use various methods to restrict voting rights. Even if all Chinese in San Francisco become naturalized citizens, it is difficult for them to obtain the right to vote!" Wu Shiying said immediately.

"Moreover, the Chinese workers all want to come here to make some money and then go home. They don't want to stay here or become naturalized citizens!"

"Oh? What the president means is... that what I said is wrong?" Chen Zhengwei asked with a smile.

"It's not wrong, Boss Chen has a good vision. It's just that it's too difficult to do this, and it can't be done in a short time..." Wu Shiying said after considering his words. Chen Zhengwei sneered, these people are really living like dogs at their age.

He originally wanted to give them some advice, let them do some preliminary preparations, and then take over.

But now it seems that we can't rely on it at all.

Is this a problem? Can we force Chinese workers to become naturalized citizens at gunpoint? The Qing Dynasty did not have any concept of nationality.

As long as the Chinese workers arrive in the United States and live there for one year, they will be naturalized.

The restrictions on voting in the United States are not at the national level, but rather lie in the regulations of each state and city.

During this period, the U.S. federal government had no regulations on the institutions and settings of various cities and almost left it to its own devices, resulting in unclear powers of city governments, which were easily interfered with.

In addition to the church's influence on all social classes in the United States, we can work on both the San Francisco city government and the church to break the current restrictions on Chinese people.

At the same time, we can use newspaper media and even invite some famous novelists to write books to change the image of Chinese in American society and reverse the current public opinion.

Such a simple thing is as difficult as climbing to the sky in the eyes of these people. It would be better to put a dog in the position of president.

It seems I still have to rely on myself!
Chen Zhengwei was too lazy to listen to other people's discussions and got angry easily.

He was just sitting there with his legs crossed, smoking.

After discussing for a long time, they still couldn't come up with much of a clue, so they finally decided to ask some wealthy Chinese businessmen to go to the Investigation Bureau to put pressure on them.

When it was over, Chen Zhengwei gave Lin Yuanshan a look, and Lin Yuanshan spoke.

"Now there is another thing. Mr. Huang Baoru doesn't have any relatives here, so the association took out funds from the warehouse to buy Mr. Huang's local assets and gave the money directly to his relatives in China."

"Boss Huang's assets also need to be managed by someone. I think we need to send someone capable to manage them, otherwise the club's funds will be lost."

"I suggest that Boss Chen take care of it. Boss Chen is young and promising, and he is very capable and capable. With him in charge, there will be no problems."

As soon as Lin Yuanshan said this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Everyone finally understood what Chen Zhengwei's purpose was.

Vice President Lin Yuanshan and Chen Zhengwei are clearly in the same group.

Wu Shiying paused for a moment and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Chen Zhengwei.

Chen Zhengwei laughed and said, "President Lin is really good at judging people. Leave this matter to me, there will be no problem. And I am willing to contribute to the association!"

"No one will doubt that I can't do a good job, or suspect that I am embezzling money, right?" Chen Zhengwei stood up and said with a smile, his eyes swept over everyone, especially pausing for a moment on Wu Shiying.

"No, of course not! We definitely believe in Boss Chen!" Several directors who had been visited by Chen Zhengwei before all spoke up in agreement.

The three directors that Lin Yuanshan was familiar with also spoke up.

Seeing this, Wu Shiying stopped objecting and said with a smile, "Boss Chen can be said to be the one that everyone wants. Since everyone agrees with this method, Boss Chen will temporarily manage these assets for the club."

As for the accounts, he didn't even mention them.

A thought was running through his mind: Fatty Li would definitely not let Chen Zhengwei go, and it was hard to say how long Chen Zhengwei could live.

Let him run rampant for a few days.
