"Congratulations to Boss Chen and Boss Li, they have become the new directors of the association."
"The original intention of the establishment of the Ningyang Guild Hall is to allow us Xinning people to help each other. The Guild Hall mainly serves as a bridge. In addition, it also helps local Chinese workers solve some practical difficulties."
The director's vote went smoothly, and Wu Shiying congratulated the two people as usual.
"It's easy to say that I am a kind-hearted person. I joined the association just to contribute my own strength and help those fellow villagers who are in trouble. If someone is unemployed, they can ask them to find me, and I will definitely be able to arrange a job for them!" Chen Zhengwei laughed, walked to an empty chair and sat down.
Wu Shiying's voice paused at these words, and the faces of others also looked a little strange.
Who doesn't know what Chen Zhengwei does now?
Did he introduce a job? Go be his thug!
"If you want to eat one bite and become a fat man, be careful of choking to death!" Fatty Li didn't intend to sit down at all. He walked to the door and turned back to sneer at Chen Zhengwei before pushing the door open and leaving.
There was no point in him staying here. He knew Chen Zhengwei's behavior from what happened just now.
There is no point in him continuing to tangle with Chen Zhengwei here. It is better to arrange for someone to kill him when he goes back.
He knew that Chen Zhengwei had led Danshan Hall to fight twice in the past two days, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Fat guy Li, don't forget to drag away the garbage on the ground! You have some sense of public morality!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.
"Huh!" Fatty Li's cold snort came from the corridor.
Chen Zhengwei squinted his eyes and looked at Fatty Li's back, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
If it weren't for An Songtang, he would have shot fat guy Li to death just now.
But in that case, An Songtang would have to fight this afternoon, and his men wouldn't be able to handle it.
Even if we want to kill fat guy Li, we can't do it now, let alone here.
Yan Qingyou and Chen Zhenghu looked inside. Chen Zhengwei raised his hand to indicate that he was fine and they could leave.
Wu Shiying then brought up old matters again, mentioning that the situation of the Chinese has been getting worse and worse recently. The Bureau of Investigation is always finding trouble with Chinese factories, and the city government is also pushing for a regulation to restrict Chinese laundries.
"Everyone can discuss any ideas they have. After all, these matters involve each of us!" Wu Shiying said.
"Protest! Let everyone in Chinatown go out and protest! Put pressure on the San Francisco city government and let them know that we Chinese are not easy to bully!" someone immediately shouted.
"Protests are useful, and you won't be like this!" Chen Zhengwei sneered lazily at the side. The other party was immediately speechless and did not dare to argue.
Chen Zhengwei's brutal tactics just now really scared them all.
"What do Boss Chen have in mind?" Wu Shiying asked. Although he didn't like Chen Zhengwei, he still had to do some face-saving work.
"Where is the United States? A capitalist country! Do you understand what capitalism is?" Chen Zhengwei sneered, looked around at the crowd and said.
"For this country, there are only two most important things, one is votes! The other is money!"
"Why do the Chinese have such a low status? Because the Chinese are not qualified to vote. Even if they all die, they will have no impact on the San Francisco government!"
"If Chinese people are eligible to vote... San Francisco only has a population of more than 200,000, and Chinese people account for one-fifth. If they want to speak loudly to you, they have to think carefully!"
“So the first thing to do is to naturalize all the Chinese in Chinatown!”
"Boss Chen has only been here for a short time and doesn't know what's going on inside. It's not like we haven't thought about these things, but they use various methods to restrict voting rights. Even if the Chinese in San Francisco are naturalized, it will be difficult to obtain voting rights!" Wu Shiying said immediately.
"Moreover, the Chinese workers just want to come and earn some money and then go home. They don't want to stay here at all, and they don't want to be naturalized!"
"Oh? The president means...what I said is wrong?" Chen Zhengwei asked with a smile.
"It's not wrong, Boss Chen is very discerning. 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 as old as dogs.
He originally wanted to give them a heads up and let them do some preliminary preparations before taking over himself.
But now it seems that there is no hope at all.
Is this an issue? Is it okay to force Chinese workers to naturalize at gunpoint? The Qing Dynasty had no concept of nationality.
As long as the Chinese workers arrived in the United States and lived for one year, they would naturalize me.
The restrictions on voting in the United States are not at the national level, but rather based on the regulations of each state and city.
During this period, the U.S. federal government had no regulations on the institutions and settings of cities, and was almost laissez-faire. As a result, the authority of city governments was unclear and it was easy to be interfered with.
Coupled with the influence of the church 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 the Chinese.
At the same time, we use newspapers and media, and even invite some famous novel authors to write books, to change the image of Chinese in American society and reverse the current public opinion.
Such a simple thing, in the eyes of these people, is as difficult as climbing to the sky, it is better to put a dog in the position of the president.
It seems you still have to rely on yourself!
Chen Zhengwei is too lazy to listen to other people's discussions and gets angry easily.
He was minding his own business and smoking with his legs crossed.
After discussing for a long time, everyone didn't have much clue. In the end, they just planned to invite some wealthy Chinese businessmen to go to the investigation bureau to put pressure.
When it came to an end, Chen Zhengwei glanced at Lin Yuanshan, and Lin Yuanshan spoke.
"Now there is another thing. Boss Huang Baoru has no relatives here, so the association took out funds from the treasury to buy Boss 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 a capable person to take care of it, otherwise all the losses will be the club's funds."
"I propose to let Boss Chen take care of it. Boss Chen is young and promising, and his strength and skills are great. With him in charge, there will definitely be no problems."
As soon as Lin Yuanshan said these words, everyone immediately looked at each other.
Everyone finally knew what Chen Zhengwei's purpose was.
Vice Chairman Lin Yuanshan and Chen Zhengwei are clearly in the same group.
Wu Shiying paused in his hand movements and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Chen Zhengwei.
Chen Zhengwei laughed loudly and said: "President Lin is a good judge of people. Leave this matter to me, there will definitely be no problem. And I am also willing to contribute to the guild hall!"
"No one will doubt that I can't do well, or that I am enriching myself, right?" Chen Zhengwei stood up and said with a smile, his eyes swept over everyone, especially Wu Shiying, who paused for a moment.
"No, of course not! We definitely believe in Boss Chen!" Several directors who had been approached by Chen Zhengwei before agreed.
The three directors Lin Yuanshan was familiar with also spoke one after another.
When Wu Shiying saw this, he no longer objected and said with a smile: "Boss Chen can be said to be in favor of everyone. Since everyone agrees with this method, these assets will be temporarily managed by Boss Chen on behalf of the guild hall."
As for the accounts, he didn't even mention them.
There was a thought in his mind that fat guy Li would definitely not let Chen Zhengwei go. It was hard to say how long Chen Zhengwei could survive.
Let him be rampant for a few days for now.
