Reborn Capital Madman
Chapter 0130 Qianjin becomes assistant
Yi Huirong studied in Canada, and Gao Xian had naturally known her relatives she defected to in Canada.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Wu family is among the Chinese in Canada.
Speaking of this, I have to briefly mention the history of Chinese immigration in Canada.
The early Chinese immigrants left their hometowns naturally because of their livelihood. As early as 1788, Chinese immigrants came to British Columbia, the westernmost part of Canada.
With iron historical facts as evidence, Chinese immigrants have made great contributions to this land in Canada.
In 1871, British Columbia agreed to join the Canadian Federation, but the condition was that the federal government would build a railway connecting eastern and western Canada within ten years.
This railway is the Canadian Pacific Railway.
To this end, in 1880, Canada found 5,000 workers from China and 7,000 Chinese from California, the United States to be responsible for the project about 300 miles.
The three hundred miles of railway, which doesn't sound very long, is the most difficult section of the entire Canadian Pacific Railway.
Because this section of the railway has to pass through the steep Rocky Mountains.
White people are unwilling to take risks, so cheap Chinese workers become the best candidates.
As a result, in 1881, the 5,000 workers from China only took about a year to leave only 1,500.
With such a huge sacrifice, is it not natural for Chinese immigrants to live on this land in Canada?
However, when the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed in 1885, Chinese workers no longer needed it, so the Canadian officialdom broke through the river and began to introduce anti-China policies, using the means of collecting poll taxes.
At the beginning, the Canadian government charged 50 Canadian dollars to each Chinese who entered Canada; by 1900, it increased to 100 Canadian dollars; in 1904, it increased to 500 Canadian dollars.
You should know that the five hundred Canadian dollars are equivalent to the two-year salary of Chinese workers at that time. It is converted into the currency value of one hundred years later, which is about 8,000 Canadian dollars, which is about 40,000 RMB; and the Chinese workers who are subject to the captive tax,
It often takes three to five years to have hope of repaying it.
Between 1886 and 1923, this counting tax, which was only levied on Chinese people, made Canadian Yuan profit of 23 million Canadian dollars, which was converted into a more well-known new millennium currency.
The value reached 1.2 billion Canadian dollars.
Chinese people are hard-working and accustomed to saving. Therefore, the repeated measures of raising the capita tax in Canada cannot completely stop them. The Chinese came to Canada to make a living from China, where wars were constantly in chaos and people were living in poverty.
So in 1923, the Canadian government decided to abolish the poll tax and replace the Chinese Immigration Act of 1923, and it began to be implemented on the Canadian National Day of the same year.
This anti-Chinese plan is even more demanding. Except for the four extremely rare cases of businessmen, diplomats, international students, and special cases, almost all Chinese cannot immigrate to Canada, including even the British Chinese.
In the more than 20 years since the Chinese Immigration Act came into effect in 1923, there were only more than 20 Chinese immigrants to Canada, including the Wu family.
During World War II, the Chinese made great contributions, and combined with the pressure from the international community, the Canadian Prime Minister abolished the Chinese Immigration Act of 1923 in 1947.
However, the immigration policy of Chinese people who want to immigrate to Canada as "independent immigration" will not be opened until 1967.
It was during this period of policy relaxation that Ma Jingxi and his family immigrated to Canada.
As for the official attitude of the Canadian Prime Minister towards its anti-Chinese law, it will take until the new millennium that with the struggle for Chinese Canadians, especially the improvement of China's international status and the strengthening of comprehensive national strength, Canadian Prime Minister Harper will be welcomed at the Canadian Parliament.
At the same time, a formal "apology" ceremony was held to speak a late apology in Cantonese.
Canada's Chinese anti-Chinese law reflects the passive status of Chinese people in the world.
Opening the world map, it is not difficult to find that all strategic priorities are not as good as Chinese.
The vested interests of the colonial era could not relax their pursuit of the Chinese, but they were just changing from barbaric means to hidden ways.
In the new millennium Internet era, the argument that China hates Chinese immigration led by social wealth injustice can be seen.
For Gao Xian, as Canada, which is rich in natural resources, further relaxes its anti-Chinese method, his business tentacles have the opportunity to enter.
It was because Wu Zhibing's father was captured in World War II and was later exchanged by Britain for prisoners of war, so he only allowed Chinese people to enter the country in Canada's "Special case" of Chinese Immigration Act of 1923.
"The regulations stipulated that the family immigrated to Canada with their family in 1942.
Therefore, the Wu family has been operating in Canada for a relatively long time.
As for Wu Zhibing's generation, she was a producer and host at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Her brother was a doctor. Compared with the social status of Chinese in Canada in this era, she was considered successful in her career.
After a period of contact, Gao Xian discovered that Wu Zhibing, a woman, was very active, and might also be related to her media work.
When Gao Xian mentioned that he wanted Yi Huirong to accompany her to the White House for the New Year banquet, Wu Zhibing interrupted with interest and asked, "Can I go with me?"
"It seems that Wu Zhibing is very interested in Zhengzhi activities. No wonder he will become the governor of Canada in the future." Gao Xian nodded happily after thinking about it, "I think it should be possible. My cousin is also my family. We are all three of us.
The team is just the right size.”
Seeing that Wu Zhibing had been involved, Yi Huirong had no chance to act coquettishly, so she could only nod and agree, which made Wu Zhibing laugh.
Seeing Yi Huirong was a little embarrassed, Gao Xian said seriously: "I served as a director of the Xiangjiang Cotton Textile Industry Association. Therefore, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to attend the White House New Year banquet to contact the US Secretary of Commerce Morris Stans.
In turn, help the peer guild inquire about the relevant information on textile import quotas.”
"But a senior official in the American cabinet like Morris Stans is not so easy to get in touch with."
"So, I thought again, maybe you can take the wife's route with me at the banquet."
Yi Huirong asked with concern: "If this method doesn't work, do you have any other solutions?"
"Yes, but you still need your help." Gao Xian nodded confidently, "I know that in Peanut Stew, there is a Chinese female Zhengzhi lobbyist who is very close to the core circle of the White House. She is named Anna Chennard, and her Chinese name is Chen Xiangmei. You
It should be suitable for me to contact her."
In the upper circle of the United States, although there are few Chinese people who have made a name for themselves, they are not without them. For example, Chen Xiangmei is quite powerful and can eat at the same time in the United States, China, Baodao, and three places.
Chen Xiangmei's husband is the famous "Flying Tigers" commander Chennard. After following her husband to the United States, Chen Xiangmei's career in the United States was very successful. Even after Chennard passed away, he was not affected and became the first to enter the White House.
Working Chinese.
During Nixon's presidential election, Chen Xiangmei was appointed as chairman of the committee for women in the United States for presidential elections, and also served as an adviser for Asian affairs. After Nixon's victory in presidential elections, Chen Xiangmei was appointed as the Communist Party's administrative committee member and vice chairman of finance.
Gao Xian has reason to believe that with these qualifications, as long as Chen Xiangmei is willing, she can definitely help.
After understanding Gao Xian’s plan, Wu Zhibing couldn’t help but exclaim: “I didn’t expect that David had planned so carefully.”
Seeing that the two girls had no objection, Gao Xian knew that he had successfully deceived and turned the two daughters into right-hand assistants.
