Chapter 41 The 15th Knight
The root of it is that the Chinese do not strive for it. This does not mean that the Chinese do not strive for it, but that they do not know how to fight for it.
Of course, there are also many people who say that the Chinese are not united. This is true, but the root cause is that the Chinese do not want to be the first bird, do not want to be shot to death, and do not fight for it. unity.
To put it bluntly, the United States is a country built on the corpses of Chinese. In 1869, the Pacific Railway in the United States, known as the "World Railway Architecture Miracle in the 19th Century", was driven by more than 12,000 Chinese workers. It was repaired one meter by one meter, and the world's first transcontinental railway with a total length of more than 3,000 kilometers running through the North American continent was built.
But what did the Chinese get?
Chinese Exclusion Act!
I don’t know how many nameless Chinese died under the rails for the American railways. They didn’t earn any money or the opportunity to stay in the United States, but they got a piece of Chinese Exclusion Act that excluded them from the American continent.
Why? It's not because the U.S. government is worried that hard-working Chinese will rob whites of their jobs.
Another major reason for this half-century-long shameful bill is that the Chinese have never worked hard to fight for their own rights. They would rather indulge in internal friction than fight, and even many second-generation Chinese They didn’t even know that there was such a bill in the United States. They firmly believed that they were Americans and a part of the most powerful country in the world. They shouted for freedom and democracy every day, and complained about human rights in country Z with white people. .
But look at other ethnic groups. In the history of the United States, after Japanese-Americans were released from concentration camps, with the support of civil rights groups, they pressured Congress to apologize through various channels, and only then did they get the result of apology and compensation .
The same goes for African-Americans, Native Hawaiians and Native Americans, whose struggle for their own rights continues to this day.
It turns out that if you don't fight for it, you get nothing.
Of course, after the rise of the new generation of Chinese elites, they have gradually realized this problem. Various Chinese organizations and rights protection groups have sprung up like mushrooms, but there are very few groups that are really fighting for the status and rights of the Chinese. , Most of them are to satisfy their own interests, not only do not think about their own people, but also keep squeezing the hard-earned money of the people of their own ethnic group.
As for 2012, when the U.S. Congress issued a formal official apology for the Chinese Exclusion Act, many Chinese jumped out and said that this was a victory for Chinese Americans, which marked the rise of Chinese social status and political power in the United States.
Hehe, I can only say whoever believes who is stupid.
In 2012, the United States had just experienced the subprime mortgage crisis not long ago, and Wall Street was in a mess. The employed population fell precipitously, while the unemployed population soared. The whole country was in mourning. What should we do? Pull down your face and beg country Z, the whole galaxy knows that people in country Z are rich.
In order to sell the U.S. national debt to country Z, of course you have to show favor to the people of country Z. If you want the horse to run fast, you have to let the horse eat enough grass. A formal apology for the issue of the Chinese Exclusion Act is only the first step.
In this year, country Z increased its holdings of US treasury bonds by 18.2 billion US dollars, holding a total of 1.1701 billion US dollars (this is still on the surface), ranking first. MMP, as of 2012, the total number of US treasury bonds was only 16.4 Country Z accounts for nearly 10% of the trillion dollars. Do you expect the United States to pay back the money? It's better to look forward to Z's football winning the World Cup, at least there is still a 0.001% possibility!
It's getting far away again, and when this topic is mentioned, I can't pull the brakes, so I quickly drag my eyes back to the car dealership.
(Xiao Pang has been abroad for many years, and has personally experienced many things, and even dare not write many more cruel things. Of course, the above opinions are purely family opinions. If you don’t like it, don’t spray it. This is just a web novel. No need to go online.)

"By the way, what car do you want to change?"
Yang Cheng chatted with the salesman for a while, and asked him to follow. After a while, the commission for buying a car will be paid to him. This is a disguised form to stop his mouth. After taking the commission, I will forget about it today, so don’t talk too much in the future .
Knowing people, knowing face but not knowing heart, there are too many hypocrites who are smiling on the surface and stabbing you behind the back.
"Here, this is the one." Allen stopped suddenly, pouted at the huge black reflective monster in front of him.
Yang Cheng stared at the 6-meter-long, 2-meter-high monster that looked like an armored car, and asked uncertainly, "Is this the Knight XV?"
This is the first time he has seen this sturdy SUV that is a lap larger than the Hummer. In his previous life, he only saw it from movies and photos circulated on the Internet. To that kind of violent visual impact.
Mighty and masculine are synonymous with this car. The strong military style is more likely to arouse the adrenaline of men, and they can't wait to drive this car to the wilderness immediately.
"Haha, that's right, how's it going? I have good eyesight, right?" Allen patted the car and shouted proudly at Yang Cheng.
For this car, Yang Cheng had no choice but to give a thumbs up willingly, it was a good choice!
But he refused to let Alan go easily, "The car is a good car, but where do you drive it? New York, at least Manhattan, definitely doesn't have that much space."
With a body length of more than 6 meters, in congested New York, it is more difficult to find a spacious parking space than to find a parking lot.
"Fuck, how did I forget this problem." Allen scratched his hair vigorously, trying to come up with a solution.
After walking around the car twice, the more he liked it, the more he liked it. Yang Cheng was also a little moved, but he knew that because the car was produced by hand, each car took more than 1,500 hours to produce, so only about 100 cars were produced in each batch. After a batch of orders is completed, new orders will be accepted.
While Allen was frowning and thinking hard, Yang Cheng pulled the salesman over and raised his chin at Knight XV, "Hey, buddy, do you still have an order for this car?"
The little brother shook his head regretfully, he also wants to have it, the commission for selling one of this car is enough for him to live comfortably for a year.
"Sorry, this is the only one, it was ordered by Mr. Allen, but I can still place a new order for you."
He nodded regretfully to express his understanding, but he is not going to place a new order. First, he doesn’t like to wait. Second, he doesn’t like it to the point of necessity. It doesn't matter, anyway, Alan bought it back, and he can borrow it anytime he wants to drive it.
"Don't think about it, you don't go out every day, and occasionally you come out in the early morning, and you will always find a vacant seat." Yang Cheng kicked the pensive Alan awake speechlessly. This guy's brain is really weird. It seems that apart from numbers, other things Everything is a paste, I really don't know how he survived until now.
"Yeah, haha, thank you buddy." Alan clapped his hands in a sudden realization.
Yang Cheng curled his lips, he was too lazy to know the same thing as this bastard, so he asked him to go through the procedure of picking up the car quickly, and he started to wander casually in the exhibition hall again.
This is a luxury car dealership, and no car sold from here is less than 150,000 US dollars. Mercedes-Benz AMG, Audi S and BMW M series cars can only be placed in the corner here.
I turned around and didn’t find the car I wanted. I was a little disappointed, but it’s not surprising. With Ferrari’s urgency, the new flagship Laferari is probably sold out before it goes on the market. If I want to buy it now, I can only pick up what others don’t want. order, or buy a second-hand car that people can play with.
It's normal, not every car owner who buys a Ferrari is a loyal fan of Ferrari. Many people regard this as an opportunity to make money. For example, if you get an order for Rafa for US$1.3 million, you can sell it for US$2 million without any effort.
Yang Cheng would not buy a second-hand car, so he could only let people pay attention to see which car owner who had an order in his hand could not pick up the car, and then took it down as quickly as possible.
Back in the rest area, Allen was signing the contract, and the car had been moved to the delivery area by the staff for final cleaning and inspection. After Allen signed and paid, he could drive away directly.
"How much?" Yang Cheng sat on the sofa, with his legs up and down, drank the coffee handed over by other sales girls, and asked with a smack of his lips.
Allen didn't raise his head, "1.5 million..."
"It's not cheap. It is said that country Z has fired almost 3 million yuan."
"The people of country Z are really rich." Allen said with sincere envy.
Buying this car is almost equivalent to one-third of his annual income, but he has no other expenses, does not buy famous brands, rarely picks up girls, and the pressure is not too great. Besides, he is not particular about eating and drinking. He can eat hamburgers until he dies. How much does it cost?
20 minutes later. . . . . .
Accompanied by the exhaust sound of "da da da", the dark knight XV rushed to the street, and the winking taxis avoided left and right, for fear of being crushed to pieces by this big guy.
In the carriage, even though Allen, who weighs 300 kilograms, sat in the driver's seat, there was plenty of space. I saw him holding the steering wheel with both hands, screaming "Wow", stepping on the accelerator and galloping towards the vehicle management office. .
"fuck u Allen, are you fucking crazy? If you want to die, don't take me to be buried with you." Yang Cheng put on his seat belt and held on to the handle of the co-pilot, his whole body involuntarily leaned back and roared like he was on a roller coaster road.
"Haha, brother easy, it's fun, it's cool, this is the car." Allen comforted Yang Cheng without nutrition, and from time to time he stretched out his hand out of the window, pointing at the passing cars. The meaning is self-evident, " You are all scum."
All the way to the vehicle management office, Alan had a good time, but the consequence of doing this was that there was a row of police cars behind him. Alan didn't talk nonsense, he just threw out a wad of cash, removed the fine, and asked the police Drinking coffee, anyway, it is a new car without a license plate, the attitude of the people is so good, and they voluntarily pay the fine, the NYPD who think they are reasonable turn a blind eye, get in the car, turn around and leave.
"Ai Lun, I'm fucking you, you're a fucking lunatic, I'll never ride in your car again." Yang Cheng spoke Chinese in excitement, and jumped down the moment the car stopped, holding on to the hood Bending over and retching, the illness was almost cured, but after such a toss, he developed a fever.
After coming out of the vehicle management office, Yang Cheng and Alan found a restaurant. Alan ordered the steak and hamburger set menu as usual. Yang Cheng still had no appetite, so he ordered seafood pasta and ate a few bites. Started chatting, "How's the oil going?"
"As you expected, it fell in June. Now we have started to make a profit. Looking at the situation, it is not far from your expected closing line of $58. Should we increase leverage?" The high-calorie eating method dipped in milkshake, whispered excitedly.
Yang Cheng thought about it for a while, and the price of oil dropped as he remembered in his previous life, but whether the rate of drop would be changed due to the butterfly effect, he couldn't care less, he was short of money!
He gritted his molars and said ruthlessly, "Jia, I need money everywhere now, and it would be good to earn an extra million."
Allen looked as expected, the two had similar tastes, and did not ask Yang Cheng why he needed money, "No problem, I will watch to death!"
Alan's income is completely linked to Yang Cheng's. The more Yang Cheng earns, the more dividends he gets, so don't worry about this guy not being careful.
After lunch and saying goodbye to Allen, Yang Cheng asked Hansen to go to the Yuanshan headquarters. He fell ill when he came back yesterday. He forgot to tell Yang Sen about Lehman. It happened to be closer to Wall Street. How to develop the three lands obtained by Donghai, this time he is not going to divide the cake.
The problem is that he has no one in his hands, so he can't let him build the building by himself.
Sit in the car again, open the sunroof, the sky above the head is as clear as a piece of blue satin, a few thin white clouds, as if baked by the sun, floating slowly with the breeze, the number of tourists on Wall Street is gradually increasing Up, the Big Apple once again showed its unique appeal.
