Chapter 837: Hawaiian Lao Luo
In the study, Yang Cheng chatted with Andrew who returned to report for a while, and after confirming repeatedly that he had completely buried the traces of Cruzmore and Tymoshchuk, he was relieved heavily. The first tone is the pleasure of revenge against the Busch family; the second is a little guilt towards Hansen, but no matter what, the man is gone, and he made the decision, so naturally he will not regret it.
Let Andrew go down to rest, the answering machine on the table rang, and then White's voice came, "Mr. Yang is here~"
Mr. Yang in White's mouth is naturally not Yang Cheng, but his father Yang Sen. After reaching an agreement with Richard Durbin, Yang Cheng told his father about it. Anyway, he has no suitable candidate to push to the Senate , even if there is, it is not his turn to decide.
After Yang Sen learned of this situation, he didn't say anything. He just told him to wait and hung up the phone. He didn't inform Yang Cheng that he was coming to Los Angeles until today on the plane.
No, the person has already picked it up. Speaking of which, this is the first time the family has come to Jason's Manor. Just now, White urgently sent someone to clean it up and down.
Yang Cheng went downstairs unhurriedly and came to the door. The blue Rolls-Royce Ghost was set against the white clouds, which was beautiful.
When the car stopped, Yang Cheng personally stepped forward to open the door for Dad, and said casually, "Dad, welcome to Jason's Manor~"
Yang Sen could only roll his eyes at this outrageous remark. He stood beside the car and looked around. The dense vegetation perfectly blocked prying eyes from other directions, and the tidy garden and elegant fountain added a lot of excitement. Yang Sen nodded in satisfaction, "It's not bad, but Beverly is too noisy, I don't like it."
You don’t need to pay attention to your wording with Yang Cheng, and you can’t help complaining. Yang Cheng smiled bitterly, “If you want me to say, I still love the sunshine of California more than the coldness of New York~”
Yang Sen snorted lightly, not paying attention, "Okay, let's go in and talk~"
At the same time, he smiled politely at White, "Please serve me a cup of tea, I want the best, don't feel sorry for this kid~"
White caught the joke perfectly, "No problem sir, it must be a good tea at the bottom of the box~"
They teamed up to trick their son, Yang Sen seemed very happy, and rushed into the house with his hands behind his back, Yang Cheng followed behind and gave a brief introduction, Yang Sen nodded while listening, "This is almost an entertainment paradise, basically all the entertainment facilities It has everything for you young people."
Yang Cheng shrugged. At that time, he spent a huge sum of money to acquire this manor, and he also valued this point. "Otherwise, I wouldn't buy it. If you have time, you can go to the ranch for a walk. It's more beautiful over there~"
Yang Sen waved his hand, "Forget it, we can't leave the company for too long, let's go to your study, it's time to talk about business."
Yang Cheng's face became serious, and she led the way.
The two went upstairs to the study, and after White placed the tea set and left, Yang Sen said, "You should know that the position of the Senate is very important to us, after I discussed it with your grandfather, I decided to push Luo Zhenhua up. "
Yang Cheng frowned. He seemed to have heard the name before but it was very unfamiliar, and it didn't fit her face at all.
"When did this person come out? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Yang Sen smiled, "Why haven't I heard of it, he is now a representative of the state of Hawaii."
Yang Cheng froze for a moment, and his pupils dilated instantly, "Is that from the Luo family?"
The Luo family he mentioned,
It used to be the representative family of Chinese Americans, but it has been very low-key in recent decades, so that many people have almost forgotten the existence of this family.
Yang Sen gave an affirmative answer, "That's right, this Luo Zhenhua is Luo Youliang's grandson, and now he is enough to inherit the glory of his grandfather."
Yang Cheng's astonishment has not subsided, and he sighed endlessly. Luo Youliang still knows that he was not only the first Chinese-American citizen elected to the U.S. Senate, but also the first Asian-American to enter the U.S. Senate. , Only then can it be considered that the chapter of Chinese American politics has been truly written, and it can be said that it is the "father of the mountain".
But according to age, even Luo Youliang's grandson, this Luo Zhenhua is not young, right? "Dad, Luo Zhenhua is not young, right?"
Yang Sen nodded, "Well, older than me, 55 years old this year."
Speaking of the Luo family, it can be traced back to the end of the 19th century. At that time, Luo Youliang’s father came to Hawaii from the GD province of Z country as a laborer. At that time, his father was employed as a sugarcane tenant farmer with a monthly salary of only 12 US dollars.
Luo Youliang has 11 brothers and sisters, and he himself is the seventh. In his childhood, because of poverty, Luo Youliang understood the meaning and value of labor.
When he was studying in a public middle school, he earned some money by selling newspapers, shining shoes, carrying golf clubs, etc., to subsidize his family and complete his studies.
After graduating from high school, Luo Youliang served in the Pearl Harbor Naval Base for 3 years, and used the money he saved for tuition fees to enter the University of Hawaii for further studies.
The curriculum of the University of Hawaii is strict, but he worked harder than other students. He actually completed the 4-year course in two years, with excellent grades, and won many awards.
After obtaining a bachelor's degree from the University of Hawaii, the ambitious Luo Youliang wanted to study law at Harvard University, but he had no source of funds. He had to work for two years, saved some money, borrowed 300 dollars from his brother, and went to the American mainland alone. , entered Harvard Law School.
Until 1935, Luo Youliang obtained a law degree, and he returned to Hawaii. At that time, all he brought home was "a dime and a new career."
The so-called "new career" is that he and his friends opened a law firm in Hawaii, mainly for the Chinese community, which brought a glimmer of hope to the conservative and oppressive Chinese at that time, so the business of the firm was very good, and thus accumulated a lot of money. less capital.
In 1941, when the Second World War broke out, Luo Youliang responded to the call of the U.S. government to perform military service and was transferred to the European battlefield. As a graduate of Harvard Law School, he was proficient in the law, so he was appointed as a military judge in the army, and due to his outstanding performance, he was soon promoted to major.
When the war ended in 1945, Kuang Youliang took off his military uniform, demobilized and returned to Hawaii, joined the Elephant Party, and devoted himself to ZZ activities. In Western countries like the United States, people who do not know the law or know much about the law want to engage in ZZ Activities are impossible. If he hadn't gone to law school to study at that time, he might not be what he was later.
Before serving in the military, he made his fortune by doing business. He not only owns real estate, but also is the big boss of insurance, department stores, loans, investments and banana plantations. His economic status has risen from his father's original "contract labor" to the bourgeoisie.
Therefore, it is very natural for him to "be successful in business and become an official". This is also in line with the trend of the development of Chinese American society at that time and is needed by Chinese American society.
In the year when he was demobilized, Luo Youliang was elected as a member of the Parliament of the Hawaiian Islands. He served in this position for 14 years, and he served as the speaker for 6 years.
In 1959, after the U.S. House of Representatives announced that the Hawaiian Islands would be changed to a "state", Luo Youliang participated in the election of a member of the U.S. Senate representing the state of Hawaii. In the end, he was elected with a high number of votes, with a total of more than 10,000 votes, defeating He became one of the two senators from the state of Hawaii with other minorities in the United States who were younger than him.
After being elected, he said in his speech that he was a member of Chinese Americans who accounted for only 6% of the population of the Hawaiian Islands. He was able to defeat his old enemy in such an important election for members of Congress, which shows how talented the Hawaiian people are, because their ancestors He is an Asian, and he himself is familiar with the situation in the East. It is very suitable for him to be a senator. He will devote himself to making Hawaii a bridge for mutual understanding and establishment of good relations between the East and the West.
In short, the Luo family rose up because of Luo Youliang, and became a famous big family in Hawaii. Of course, because it was too far away from the mainland, the Luo family had never been among the big families in the United States. At the most difficult moment, relying on your own efforts to break through a piece of sky is admirable enough.
However, since Luo Youliang, the Luo family is more inclined to do business comfortably. A few descendants of the family have participated in ZZ, and they have not achieved Luo Youliang's achievements, so that the Luo family has gradually faded out of the mainstream stage of Hawaiian Chinese. Now they His grandson wants to retrace his grandfather's path, and the prosperity of the Luo family is just around the corner.
It's just that Yang Cheng is a little puzzled. Does the Yang family have no other candidates? This Luo Zhenhua has his own family, even if he is helped by the Yang family, he will not give his all to help the Yang family, let alone form a life-and-death alliance. In this way, wouldn't this precious opportunity be wasted?
After hesitating for a while to express his doubts, Yang Sen took a sip of tea and smiled strangely, "When did you see me suffer?"
Yang Cheng smiled dumbly, that's true, not only her father, but the entire Yang family has always taken advantage of others, so why did they ever do business at a loss?
"It seems that you have reached an agreement? What benefits did the Luo family give you?"
Yang Sen waved his hand, looking a little unnatural, took another sip of tea, was silent for a while, then seemed to have made some big decision, and said solemnly, "Well~ let's talk about it first, you decide on this matter, We won't force you to make a choice~"
He looked at Yang Sen in a daze, what's the matter? Come up and talk about the ugliness first, does this matter have anything to do with him? He had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Yang Sen said in the next second, "Luo Zhenhua's daughter is about the same age as you, uh~ to be precise, she is two years younger than you, she is your junior, a talented student in the Department of Architecture and Design, I have seen the photos, little girl The girl looks so handsome, even more beautiful than Yanran, and she is also very slender, how is it? Are you a little excited?
I think it's pretty good. I am worthy of you in terms of education, family background, and appearance. Do you want to think about it? "
