Chapter 2690 Chinese Minister
Chapter 2690 Chinese Minister
30,000 Chinese workers took to the streets of Los Angeles, shouting about illegal treatment and racial discrimination. This scene had a shocking effect on the city of Los Angeles. Demonstrations have become commonplace in the United States. Almost every year, various teams hold demonstrations in various countries across the United States. This is a right granted to citizens by law. But this kind of demonstration team composed purely of Chinese people is unique and unique.
As 30,000 Chinese workers took to the streets of Los Angeles, the "Wind Temple" became known around the world.
“Protest unfair treatment by the U.S. Department of Labor!”
“Protest racial discrimination in the U.S. Department of Labor!”
These two slogans shocked the United States and made the U.S. government very anxious. You know, in the United States, the two most serious crimes are unfair treatment and racial discrimination. What Americans hate most is unfair treatment and racial discrimination.
These two crimes have always attracted criticism from the American people. The result of this is the slogan of fairness and justice that the American people have long advocated. Under this kind of spiritual leadership, the most intolerable thing for the American people is unfair treatment and racial discrimination. Of course, racial discrimination exists everywhere in the world, but no country officially permits racial discrimination.
"This Lin Feng is really a troublemaker!" Bush sat in the White House depressed. He originally wanted to use Miller Oaks's hand to teach Lin Feng a lesson and make himself feel more comfortable. But who would have expected that Lin Feng would directly let these workers take to the streets of Los Angeles to demonstrate and make the matter a big deal. This was beyond President Bush's expectation. Of course, he should also be able to imagine that Lin Feng's character has always been about making big troubles out of small things, and big things can't be dealt with. He should have been mentally prepared.
"What do you think we should do now?" Bush asked depressedly, looking at his staff. (--net.)
Many staff members looked at each other.
"Your Excellency, this matter is between the Ministry of Labor and Lin Feng. Let the Ministry of Labor resolve it," the aide said.
Bush frowned. Let the Department of Labor resolve it. This matter has become a big deal. If it cannot be settled, it will be the US government that will be embarrassed. Every year, the U.S. government publishes human rights white papers for various countries. If it makes such a big joke on its own side, it will be very embarrassing. Especially now that the new year is approaching, we can't continue to make trouble like this. In particular, Bush was afraid that Lin Feng would continue to cause trouble. Lin Feng's financial resources are enough to allow 30,000 people to demonstrate on the streets every day to protest unfair treatment and racial discrimination. In that case, the US government will really become a laughing stock.
"Your Excellency, have you forgotten who the Minister of Labor is?" the staff member smiled slightly.
Secretary of Labor! Bush was slightly startled.
Then patted his head. He almost forgot that the Minister of Labor was personally nominated by himself in 2001. This person's name was Zhao Xiaolan, a Chinese.
Let the Chinese fight Lin Feng. If Chao loses, the Chinese will be more considerate of the United States. If Chao wins, hehe, it will be a lot of fun. Then there will definitely be public opinion in China, criticizing the Chinese as traitors and bullying the Chinese. . In this case, Chinese Americans will be even more disgusted with China. That's a good thing.
"Well, let's leave this matter to Chao Xiaolan, and we don't have to worry about it. Let's just watch the show here!" Bush laughed.
Elaine Chao, Chinese-American. On January 11, 2001, President-elect George Walker Bush nominated Elaine Chao to serve as Secretary of Labor. She is the first Chinese American to enter the cabinet in U.S. history, and the first Asian woman in the cabinet. Elaine Chao’s husband is Mitch McConnell, the current Republican leader of the U.S. Senate.
Zhao Xiaolan's qualifications can be said to be one step at a time, slowly climbing to her current position. Immigrated to the United States in 1961, graduated from high school in 1971, and graduated from Mount Holyoke University in 1975. In 1979, he received a master's degree in business administration from Harvard Business School with straight A grades. From 1983 to 1984, he was elected as a "White House Scholar" and served as a White House Scholar. An assistant to senior officials, he became deputy administrator of the Federal Shipping Administration in 1986 and soon became senior vice president of Bank of America. In 1988, he was appointed chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission by President Reagan. In 1989, he was appointed deputy secretary of transportation by President Bush. From 1991 to 1992, he served as the head of the U.S. Peace Corps. From 1992 to 1996, he served as the chairman of the United States' largest philanthropic foundation, the United States Charitable Foundation. In 1996, he served as a researcher at the Heritage Foundation, an American think tank organization. In 1998, he served as the Asia Councilor of the association. Chairman of the Research Center Advisory Board.
For such a character to fight Lin Feng to the death, in Bush's opinion, it was a drama worth watching. No matter who wins in the end, it will be the US government that benefits.
At this moment, Zhao Xiaolan has received news from Los Angeles. Zhao Xiaolan was naturally aware of the issue of labor certificates for the 30,000 workers from China, and she was the one who sent Commissioner Henman. However, she wanted Henman to have a serious talk with Lin Feng and ask Lin Feng to fire some Chinese workers and replace them with American workers to ensure the local employment rate in the United States, so that all parties would have nothing to say.
But who would have expected that the result would be that 30,000 workers took to the streets of Los Angeles and held demonstrations, shouting about unfair treatment and racial discrimination, and Commissioner Henman was also sent to the hospital. This made Zhao Xiaolan extremely dissatisfied, thinking that Lin Feng had gone too far.
At that moment, Zhao Xiaolan came to Los Angeles and met with Lin Feng in person.
"Ms. Zhao, please sit down!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, you're welcome. I'm not here for tea, I'm here to solve problems." Chao Xiaolan adhered to her usual vigorous and resolute manner, and went straight to the point without sitting down.
"Minister Chao, is there a problem?" Lin Feng smiled slightly.
Chao Xiaolan frowned. This guy is really hateful, just as hateful and difficult as what the news said. He pretended to be confused when he knew the truth, which was simply hateful to the extreme.
"Mr. Lin, let's not beat around the bush. I hope you can immediately let these 30,000 workers disband the demonstration and stop making trouble. I can forgive you for stripping Special Agent Henman naked!" Chao Xiaolan said in an imperative tone.
In her opinion, Lin Feng was wrong in this incident, and his behavior was too extreme. In any case, Henman represented the U.S. Department of Labor, but he was stripped naked and sent to the hospital. What a thing! If this is really investigated, it will be a crime of obstructing state affairs, and Lin Feng can't bear it! But she is the first generation of Chinese after all, born in China. Although she has no impression of China and does not have much affection for it, she still admires the emergence of such a shocking figure as Lin Feng in China.
Unfortunately, her commanding tone made Lin Feng very unhappy.
"Minister Zhao, the reason why they went to the streets of Los Angeles to protest was because they were treated unfairly and racially discriminated against. If you can treat them fairly, I believe they will naturally disperse. Otherwise..." Lin Feng stopped.
"What if otherwise?" Elaine Chao frowned.
"Otherwise, they will continue until they get justice for themselves! As for the stay date, according to US law, if there is a lawsuit, you can stay in the United States during the lawsuit." Lin Feng said coldly.
Elaine Chao frowned. Difficult, this guy is really difficult. No wonder even President Bush can't do anything about him. This guy's meticulous thinking is impenetrable, and it is really difficult to find trouble with him.
After thinking about it, Elaine Chao took a deep breath to calm her emotions so as not to make things too awkward with Lin Feng. This guy is stubborn, young, and impulsive. I can't be as impulsive as him, and finally make things worse. Before Zhao Xiaolan came, she understood the trouble of this matter. If she and Lin Feng get too upset, it will become a conflict between mainland China and Chinese Americans. This is definitely not a good thing.
"Mr. Lin, I issued their illegal visas for workers. I hope you understand that your behavior of directly hiring 30,000 workers from China will not be liked by governments in any country. You are strengthening the local labor market and affecting the employment rate of your country. This is just like foreign companies building factories in China and hiring Vietnamese or Indians instead of Chinese. I think your government is also very dissatisfied! It is natural to use this method. So, my suggestion is that you dismiss some employees and hire some American workers, so that you can block the pressure of public opinion from all walks of life." Zhao Xiaolan said sincerely.
The reason why the U.S. Department of Labor issued a ban on 30,000 Chinese workers in the "Wind Temple" this time was because some important people in society protested, which put great pressure on the U.S. Department of Labor, so they had to do it. If Lin Feng could hire some American workers, he could solve this problem perfectly.
Lin Feng snorted coldly.
"Minister Zhao, the so-called public opinion pressure is probably from people like Miller Oaks!" Lin Feng snorted coldly.
Elaine Chao was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Lin Feng to know all this, but when she thought about it carefully, Lin Feng was the richest man in the world and had many well-known friends in the United States. It was not surprising that he knew this.
"Yes, it's them. But no matter who protested, it is a fact that you have caused panic to the American people. Now the unemployment rate in the United States is already high, and you are still importing Chinese workers on a large scale without hiring an American. It is normal for the American people to react so strongly. Mr. Lin, for the sake of everyone, I hope you can follow my advice!" Elaine Chao pleaded.
She didn't want to make this issue too awkward with Lin Feng, as long as Lin Feng took a step back. As for some of the problems between Lin Feng and Miller-Ox, she also knew a little bit, but she didn't care about that. Her starting point was to increase the employment rate in the United States! After all, she is an American!
Lin Feng snorted heavily.
