Text Chapter 135 Chinese Military Personnel

Oakland is also a city with a large Chinese population in California. Its population ranks third in California, with about 400,000 people. It is also a good city in the San Francisco Bay Area, but compared to San Francisco and Sacramento, it is Much worse.

But there are enough Chinese people there, and it is a good cradle to breed Chinese politicians. If the city is not a little smaller, Zhou Jiexi also wants to settle the team in this city.

In the federation, we are very happy that such an outstanding female politician as Guan Lizhen has been produced in this city. The same is true for Jessie Zhou. More and more ethnic Chinese are engaged in politics. Only in constituencies with a majority of ethnic Chinese can their welfare be more protected.

"The situation of the recent election has become very clear. We have a favorable position. As long as there are no accidents in the future, Oakland will usher in the first female mayor of Chinese descent." Zhou Jiexi raised his glass to her, "Aunt Guan ,congratulations!"

"Thank you..." Guan Lizhen said. He clinked the glass with Zhou Jiexi and drank it in one gulp. "It is thanks to the support of enthusiastic voters like you that we have come so far. Believe me, I will be the mayor."

Enthusiastic voters, Zhou Jiexi is very satisfied with this position, isn't this group of people just enthusiastic voters? Zhao Meixin, the female member of Congress, also started to congratulate Guan Lizhen.

In Oakland, he didn't have many conflicts of interest, and he only helped Guan Lizhen because she was of Chinese descent. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the twists and turns in the federation. In short, he feels that there is nothing wrong with making more connections, and relying on friends when going out.

Many friends have many paths. When he has money, he is learning from Song Jiang. Timely rain and helpfulness are good labels. If you help others, they will report to you in the future. Why not do it because of the influence that you can still live in the arena.

The mid-term elections in the United States are getting more and more intense now, and the results will be announced in a few months. Members, mayors, governors, and senators all have this kind of attention in the federation, especially those hot guys like Jessie Zhou. The rise of the powerful Chinese rich and loyal to politics has also found a lighthouse for many Chinese elites.

In the past few years, the new generation of Chinese Americans has been very active. They have been encouraging the older generation to value elections and use their votes to benefit everyone. It has always been believed that he has caught up with a good time, and more and more Chinese Americans will be active in American politics in the next few years.

After Zhou Jiexi finished chatting here, he happened to see a man in military uniform. A yellow-skinned US Navy general is of Chinese descent. It is impossible for other Asians to appear here, because this is a Chinese-American exchange meeting organized by the Federation.

There was also a man in the clothes of a major general next to him. The two of them chatted very well, and then another woman chatted with them. She was also a general. Immediately, Jiexi Zhou became interested. He knows all the bearded American officers, but he really doesn't know the Chinese ones.

"Do you know any of the people around Aunt Guan?" Zhou Jiexi asked Guan Lizhen and Zhao Meixin who were next to her.

"Carol A. Lee, I know her a little bit, but it's only within the federation." Guan Lizhen said, "Chinese military officers and Chinese politicians are not in the same system. The federation has limited influence on the military. They only communicate because of their ethnic Chinese identity."

Zhou Jiexi nodded as he listened. He has acquaintances in the US military, but most of them are not active-duty generals. There are several military consultants in his company, including retired officers of US military generals, lieutenant generals, major generals, and brigadier generals.

The elder brother and father of the sissy CEO of his security company are on active duty, they are active officers of the U.S. Army, and their relatives are in the Navy and Air Force. It's just that the father with the highest official position is in the army, and he originally wanted to join the army. It's because of some mothers, so this kind of coffee is really not suitable for living in the US military.

It wasn't until Zhou Jiexi's company became the CEO of Lantian Security Shield that he was recognized by his family. The military advisory group of Zhou Jiexi's company also relied on his father's relationship to get contacts from him, and thus got a general-level advisory group.

Compared to being a consultant for a lobbying company or other security companies, going to Zhou Jiexi is the same. Besides, the price he proposed was not low, and what he wanted to invite them was contacts. Otherwise, Zhou Jiexi would not be able to do second-hand arms trading in the company so easily.

Now there are a group of active Chinese military officers, and Zhou Jiexi is immediately interested. There are only so many Chinese in the United States, and not many can get into the army, and even fewer can get into the general level. After thinking about it carefully, he still has the value of making friends with these Chinese officers.

Not to mention their jobs after retiring, just say they are working in the army now, if they have Zhou Jiexi's contacts, they can do it a lot easier, right? Since it has the value of being used by others, he immediately has the confidence.

He said to Guan Lizhen, "Let's go get to know each other!"

"Okay, let's go together!" Guan Lizhen thought for a while and was willing to be the introducer. The Chinese in the military usually don’t attend many Chinese parties. After all, the military is not as free as the government. It’s really good luck to meet so many today.

Zhou Jiexi followed Guan Lizhen and walked over with champagne. Before they got there, Guan Lizhen greeted the woman named Carol. When they got close, the two women hugged with a smile.

"Congratulations, I heard that you have already occupied a favorable position in the mayoral election this time. I am very glad that there is another female mayor among us Chinese!" Carol's tone was a bit stiff, and the smile on his face was also Similarly, the dogma of the army made her even smile hard.

"Thank you!" Guan Lizhen nodded and said, "It's all thanks to the help of enthusiastic voters and the trust of the people. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to reach this position alone!" Several officers on the side nodded and greeted.

She has also communicated with two of them, but she is not very familiar with them.

"It's also thanks to Jesse, this young man has helped me a lot!" Guan Lizhen introduced Zhou Jiexi to them while speaking.

"Jesse Zhou?" Carol A. Lee looked at the man beside Guan Lizhen.

"Yes."

"Hi, I'm Jesse Zhou, nice to meet you, ma'am!" Jesse Zhou greeted with a smile.

"When I came here today, I heard a lot of people saying that you are here too, Jesse Zhou. I have heard your name in the previous gatherings, but I am a little regretful that I didn't meet you. Now that I see you, I really feel like you. As in the rumors, he is a handsome young man!" Carol said in a blunt voice.

Several officers nearby also looked at Zhou Jiexi. They came here today because they received some news and came here with a purpose. One of them is to get to know this young man. I heard that he also has good connections in the US military and is very active in politics.

I am an activist of Chinese descent, not talking about political matters, but only talking about military matters. There is a powerful Chinese descendant. For those who are in the military, it is very beneficial and necessary to get to know them.

"Thank you ma'am!" Jessie Zhou said modestly, "It's my honor to know you! Among the Chinese-American female generals, you are the only one. As a Chinese-American, you are one of my idols!"

In the next few sentences, everyone knew each other. Carol began to introduce his friends around him, first of all was an admiral: "This is Commodore Jonathan Yuan!"

This is a general with a round face and looks like a scholar. He is as gentle as jade, but has the heroic spirit of a soldier. Looking at the upright standing posture, he also likes it very much. "Nice to meet you!"

"Me too!" Jonathan said, shaking his hand.

"This is Major General William Chen." Carol introduced a middle-aged man who was somewhat bald. Compared with Jonathan, this man had a more military temperament. Sure enough, he was from the army.

"Hello!"

The two nodded each other, shook hands and clinked glasses, and they knew each other. Zhou Jiexi and him are very attentive. We also adhere to the principle of making friends.

"Air Force Brigadier General, Zhao Shanren!"

"National Guard Darry Wong"

"Army Reserve Brigadier General, Military Judge Ms. Huang Coral!"

There are quite a lot of people in this Chinese-American military circle. After Zhou Jiexi got to know these people one by one, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although these generals, major generals, and brigadier generals, none of them are lieutenant generals and generals, but a yellow-skinned person can get this kind of status in the army, which shows how powerful they are.

It looks like a lot here, but Zhou Jiexi also understands that they are only a small part of the army. But when you think about the many ethnic groups in the United States, the Chinese are only one of them, but the Chinese in the social elite are indeed in the forefront of multiple races. In addition to whites and blacks in the military, there are so many Chinese. Officer general is also a very good thing.

After a few people got to know each other, the chat became much more lively. Zhou Jiexi also had a good chat with them about the military. From local military conflicts to terrorist attacks, he also talked in a decent way. Chatting and chatting, somehow, the topic came to his company.

"I want to work in Jesse's company after I retire. I heard that the treatment there is very good." King Daryl of the National Guard said to Jonathan as if joking.

"Oh?" Zhou Jiexi looked at the two of them curiously, and of course he said, "Of course I welcome Dai Rui to come, but our company is still short of consultants, and you have really helped me a lot." Already!"

"It seems that Darry has settled down where you will go after you retire!" Jonathan said to him jokingly.

Darry waved his hands, looked at Jessie Zhou and asked curiously, "Jessie, haven't you already formed a military advisory group? My former boss, Mr. Coppola, a retired Army lieutenant general, is your company's military advisor. !"
