Chapter 26 White Wolf
Jester looked at his grandfather's gradually becoming lonely and looking at the scattered venue where only a few people were left in front of him, the scene just now appeared in his mind again.
His grandfather expressed his idea of organizing a delegation to return to China to invest. He originally thought he would get the approval of everyone, but Jester's grandfather did not expect that except for his best old friends, the rest of the people were extremely cold to this.
Moreover, some people deliberately sang against their grandfather on stage.
"I think we should invest in Baodao. The human resources are as rich and cheap. Moreover, under the years of governance of Mr. Xiao Jiang, the economy is booming, and the environment is much more relaxed than there. After all, no one knows whether there will be capricious or not. Moreover, it is too backward. Even color TV and refrigerators cannot be made by themselves. I am afraid that it will not be as good as the current Baodao in 20 years."
Chinese in the United States are mainly engaged in manufacturing industries with low profits. In recent years, they have gradually been unable to withstand the increasingly high per capita wages in the United States. The Japanese rely on manual cheap prices to use low prices to fill the entire American market.
Not only them, even white people engaged in manufacturing cannot stand the invasion of Japanese products like a whale.
Therefore, they have long been considering changing the origin and reducing labor costs.
On the surface, treasure island seems to be the best choice.
Then this proposal was echoed by the vast majority of people.
Only Jester sneered, revealing a disdainful look.
As a person who knows the future, he naturally knows how narrow and ignorant the short-sighted people are.
This contemptuous laughter also angered the old man who spoke against his grandfather just now.
The old man was about sixty years old, with a hooked nose, wearing a straight and exquisite handmade suit, with white hair meticulously combed, and a pair of gold-width glasses on the bridge of his nose. The inverted triangle eyes shot out a sharp look like a knife through the lens and looked at the sneering Jester.
"Elders, you juniors dare to interrupt?" A young man with greasy head and pink face next to the old man scolded Jester sternly.
Jester smiled dismissively and said, "I only saw a mouse talking about a tiger's head and looking down on it, but he was amused by a cat in awe."
The words instantly made the young man with a greasy and pink face turn red. He opened his mouth and glanced at the old man beside him. His throat moved, but he didn't say anything.
"Bang!"
The old man couldn't stand Jester's explicit mockery at this time. He slapped the table and stood up. He shouted at Jester's grandfather with an angry face: "Is this the grandson you taught by Li Yaoguang? So arrogant?"
Jester's grandfather just looked up at the old man who was roaring at him and said lightly: "Zhou Yangping, I know that Wang Xiling's people have found you. Since you have agreed to him, why should I come to this party I organized? I really think I am so easy to meet? And my grandson just earned the first $100 million in his life. How many $100 million do you have now? What qualifications do you have to say that he is not?"
The full payment for the two batches of Jester's orders was 90 million US dollars, but this was more than three months of production. In addition to the 900 units he had made, it was certainly suspected of exaggerating that he had earned 100 million US dollars.
As soon as these words came out, everyone sitting changed instantly.
When I heard the name Wang Xiling, the faces of a few people changed, because this person's identity was so special. He was the absolute confidant of Mr. Xiao Jiang, the ruler of Baodao Province, and the head of the Baodao Intelligence Bureau.
But after hearing the news that Jester made 100 million US dollars, everyone showed an absolutely impossible expression on their faces. But when they thought of Grandpa Jester's prestige in the Chinese circle, they instantly turned into an incredible look.
You know, the vast majority of people who are now sitting here, and adding up all the money they have earned is rare.
The little kid who didn't even have enough hair in front of him made $100 million?
Bragging!?
This is what everyone sitting in the synagogue thinks now.
The old man named Zhou Yangping's face changed. Although he was very afraid of Jester's grandfather, the other party had a high prestige in the West Coast Chinese circle. I don't know how many Chinese who had just arrived in the United States had received his help, he still scoffed at the claim that he made 100 million US dollars.
"Hmph!" Zhou Yangping snorted disdainfully, "Who can't brag? You still make 100 million US dollars?"
"The most popular game arcade "American Cubes" sold on the market now was made by my grandson Li Jie. If you know it, you will know whether I brag." Jester's grandfather replied without hesitation.
Not everyone here has heard the name of "American Cube". Anyone who has heard it has a clear look, and when they ask about it, they also have a shocked look.
Then their eyes became completely different when they looked at Jester, and even made Jester feel creepy, as if they had become a delicious meat steak and were watched by countless greedy diners.
"Yes, Director Wang's people have indeed come to contact me. Have you never contacted the people over there?" Zhou Yangping's tone became gloomy. He wanted to move away from the previous topic that was completely unfavorable to him as soon as possible. He knew that people from mainland China had also contacted Jester's grandfather. For example, for this party, Jester's grandfather had discussed with the people in the Los Angeles Consulate General before.
"So what if I contacted me?" Grandpa Jester didn't care. His eyes suddenly became sharp and he said word by word, "I have never concealed that it is my hometown."
Zhou Yangping was even forced by Jester's grandfather's sharp eyes so that he did not dare to look directly. He said in a fury, "It's a good thing that you were also a national army back then! It's a good thing that you have made the treasure tripod medal! You are the immortal, even betrayed your faith back then!"
When Jester's grandfather heard this, he smiled disdainfully: "Medals were exchanged for my life. I defend my country and live a life of life and death. What does it have to do with those rats who live in vain? Moreover, I betray my faith? I only regretted my youth and ignorance at the time, and mistakenly regarded the jackal as a hero, went astray, and regretted for life."
"There is no other way to do things!" Zhou Yangping was so worried that he could not speak up for a moment that he could not refute it. He left a word without any threat, and left the venue with his popularity.
The rest looked at each other. After a few minutes, most of them still apologized to Jester's grandfather and left.
They are not optimistic about investing in mainland China.
In the end, only a few people were left in the venue.
Grandpa Jester's face couldn't help but become lonely. His main purpose of this party was probably to be ruined.
Jester took back his memory and looked around the venue, but unexpectedly found someone who shouldn't have been left behind.
White Wolf, Zhang Le'an.
His participation was surprising, after all, this was a gathering held for the mainland delegation to cheer for the Los Angeles Olympics.
He is a real Baodao native, and his parents even worked in the military and public education system of Baodao.
Grandpa Jester also noticed him, and his eyes showed a look of confusion.
Zhang Lean is 36 years old this year. He is wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and a simple T-shirt. He looks very bookish. He can't tell at all that he was the general guardian of the Bamboo League Gang when he was on the treasure island.
When he came to the United States nine years ago, he was helped by Grandpa Jester. Needless to say, the introduction letter he gave to Stanford University was helped by Jester's grandfather. He later opened a restaurant, and Jester's grandfather helped him a lot.
When Zhang Lean saw Grandpa Jester's eyes, he quickly stood up and bowed.
"Mr. Li's kindness is unforgettable, but Le'an's identity cannot go to the mainland with Mr. Li. Le'an is also a Chinese. Le'an's hometown is also there. Le'an also wants to go back to see Huangshan, the Great Wall, but Le'an cannot do that, please forgive me."
Jester's grandfather sighed. Although he was disappointed, he still understood the other party.
After all, the other party’s parents and friends are on Baodao.
Zhang Lean is very famous in the West Coast Chinese circle. He doesn’t have much money, but he just runs a restaurant, but he is generous and has many friends. As a person from Baodao, he never discriminates against his compatriots in the mainland. Moreover, while he was studying at Stanford, he became close friends with many international students from the mainland.
In that era, those who could do this were either different intentions or sincere people.
As for whether he has other plans?
Jester, who came from later generations, naturally knew the legendary ups and downs of Zhang Lean, the White Wolf.
He later watched Zhang Lean's interview. He learned about his legendary life from that show, and then looked up some information about this man nicknamed Bailang. He just refused the Baodao Intelligence Bureau with the righteous refusal of the Baodao Intelligence Bureau, and asked him to take advantage of the conditions of good relations with mainland students to rebel against the requests of those students, so he asked Jester to say "convinced".
Jester still remembers what Zhang Lean said in that interview.
"At that time, many institutions wanted to but couldn't get into the circle of mainland students. They wanted to use me to do the job of mainland students, but I refused them all - I hope this group of people will return to China to build China, and I don't want them to stay in the United States."
"Aren't it just a group of international students who changed China's destiny in history? The first one was Japanese students, and finally triggered the Xinhai Revolution; the second one was international students who stayed in the Soviet Union and Britain and the United States, bringing communism. This group of international students in the United States is also the top ones among hundreds of millions of people. When they go back, they will definitely bring new things to China."
Not to mention that the Taoluo Group, which he later invested and established in mainland China, became the world's largest helmet manufacturer, and then formed the China Unification Promotion Party. This is the first party in Taiwan to support the peaceful reunification of Taiwan and firmly support one country, two systems.
Well, his uncle is Hou Weiyu, who was once the vice president of the Central Party School, so that he can know why he became a ** person later.
Jester doesn't like the underworld, but the White Wolf is the only one that makes him hate, because in Jester's heart, White Wolf is not the underworld, but the kind of hero who is described by the Assassin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he treats me with national talents and I repay the king with national talents.
After reading Zhang Lean's story, Jester couldn't help but sigh that if he could become friends with him, he would definitely be a person worthy of his life.
Such people are too rare in this era of material desires.
In life, how can you not have three or five friends or two confidants? Jester suddenly had an impulse, he wanted to be friends with Zhang Lean.
And the Jiangnan case is coming soon.
After seeing Zhang Lean, Jester suddenly woke up. He remembered the incident that shocked the world in the second half of 1984, the Jiangnan case.
This case had a great influence and involved a wide range of people, but its biggest impact may be the complete ending of the rule of the Jiang family dynasty on Baodao, and the initiator of all this was the white wolf Zhang Le'an.
If he hadn't involved Mr. Jiang in order to save Chen Qili's life, it would have been hard to say about the future of Baodao.
As for whether Baodao will be fine after leaving the strong man's rule?
It depends on one's opinion, just as Zheng Zhihua sang in the classic "Great Nationals": "This is no longer an island ruled by strong people. Which is important, survival or face? This is no longer an island that will be better tomorrow, where can we go? 20 million compatriots..."
Of course, he was framed by others by frame-up and was in vain for ten years. Although he was a top student, he studied two degrees in prison, which was a blessing in disguise...
Stop Chen Qili and the others from killing Jiangnan?
Jester shook his head. He didn't have that much ability, and he didn't want to get a fishy smell.
But after the Jiangnan case, rescue Bailang?
Jester carefully thought about the information about the case he had seen in his previous life, including Bai Lang's own memories - he himself talked about the past that was framed in the interview.
At that time, it was not the federal government that wanted to frame him, but the New York Bureau of Investigation.
Moreover, the California Bureau of Investigation clearly stated that it would not frame it, and the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration also stated that Zhang Lean had nothing to do with drug products, but the New York Bureau of Investigation unwillingly set up a drug product case, and then found someone to do perjury, and even deliberately tampered with Zhang Lean's recording, which was successfully sent to prison.
In fact, this case cannot stand the scrutiny, including the witness who publicly apologized on a TV show many years later, saying that he had committed perjury at the instruction of the New York Bureau of Investigation.
Jester also wondered if Zhang Lean could not contact Chen Qili, so that the subsequent changes would not happen.
Then he quickly rejected the idea. The duck bully Chen Qili is the most respected person in Zhang Lean's life. Zhang Lean can even want his life for Chen Qili, and even he is not even his friend now. How could he stop it?
So let him leave the United States to avoid the limelight after the Jiangnan case?
Jester shook his head again. Zhang Lean was framed not because of the Jiangnan case, but because he took the initiative to release the recording left by Chen Qili to him, and involved the second young master Jiang. According to Zhang Lean's personality, he would definitely release the recording in order to save the life of his most beloved person after Chen Qili was arrested.
At that time, whoever dares to stop him would be his enemy.
After thinking about it, it is inevitable.
The only thing I could save him was to help him win the lawsuit that made him in unjust prison for ten years.
It may not be too difficult for Jester, who knows the inside story of the case, especially when he has enough money to hire the most famous and best defense lawyer in the United States.
But I haven't done it, and no one dares to make a promise.
Jester thought while walking towards Zhang Lean.
Then he stretched out one of his hands and smiled kindly: "My name is Li Jie, my English name is Jester, Mr. Li's grandson. I have heard of your name. Be a friend?"
Zhang Lean also smiled, stretched out his hand and held it with Jester's hand: "I have heard of your name, I also like to play "American Cubes" and I like to make friends."
After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter.
Chapter completed!
