Worship Foreigners
China and the United States had always been in a state of open and secret competition. There had been no lack of competition between them in various aspects and fields. It was simply too normal for them to poach people.
Why was it so easy for rich people to migrate to America? Because America was a capitalist society, they welcomed every foreign tycoon to join them and use their wealth to accelerate the economic growth of America.
The FBI had already investigated Ye Nanfeng's personal information, but they only found out about Ye Nanfeng's assets in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and his identity as a Nobel Prize nominator. His other assets were highly confidential and could not be released without Ye Nanfeng's permission.
However, just the exposed capital had already shocked the US government. They needed to do their best to rope in such a wealthy person. After President Lucian found out, he directly promised to be a Senate member.
Although the Senate was elected every two years, it was not a big deal to reserve a candidate in advance. Ye Nanfeng was worth the price.
"Mr. Ye Nanfeng, this is the sincerity of our US government. Please consider it carefully.”
The agent said respectfully. In order to make it in time for Ye Nanfeng's flight to land, the FBI had used a military plane to fly over with the presidential decree.
Everyone looked at Ye Nanfeng, their eyes filled with jealousy, envy, emotion, or shock.
It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for ordinary people to get a US green card. Now, it was presented in front of them and they were even giving you the position of a Senator. This was simply unbelievable! If it was someone else, they would have agreed long ago. What was there to hesitate about?
Li Rongchuan, on the other hand, was extremely anxious. He regretted inviting Ye Nanfeng to New York to participate in the auction. How could he have forgotten that he had to go through the asset certification process to get a visa!
The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China belonged to the country. If Ye Nanfeng agreed to join the US, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to China in this period of trade war! With Ye Nanfeng's wealth, he could even cause a huge blow to China's economy!
Just as Li Rongchuan was burning with anxiety and was about to dissuade Ye Nanfeng, Ye Nanfeng finally responded.
Under the stunned gaze of the FBI agent, he pushed the document bag containing the permanent green card and the Senate letter back and said seriously,
"I appreciate your kind intentions, but I grew up in China and have the blood of Yan Huang flowing in my body. No matter how good other countries are, I still love my motherland.”
Ye Nanfeng's words were powerful and firm. The awe-inspiring tone made those who envied Ye Nanfeng's ability to become an American citizen feel ashamed.
Since he was born Chinese, why did he worship foreign things? They should be proud of being Chinese!
The FBI agent was stunned. After a moment of silence, he did not insist. He put away the document bag and said,"I understand. If Mr. Ye Nanfeng wants to join us, we welcome you at any time. This green card will always be yours.”
After nodding at Ye Nanfeng, the agents got into the car and left.
Ye Nanfeng also left the airport with Li Rongchuan before anyone could react. He didn't want to attract attention.
When everyone came back to their senses, Ye Nanfeng was nowhere to be seen.
…
Outside the airport, Li Rongchuan and Ye Nanfeng got into the car that the New York branch of the Industry and Commerce Bureau had prepared for them.
In the car, Li Rongchuan stared at Ye Nanfeng and was silent for the first time.
"What's wrong, President Li?"
Ye Nanfeng broke the silence with a smile when he saw that Li Rongchuan was silent. He was also surprised by the US government's move today. He did not expect the US government to use the position of a Senate to recruit him. It seemed that the US and China's economic and trade war was indeed very intense.
Hearing Ye Nanfeng's words, Li Rongchuan pursed his lips and let out a long sigh.""Mr. Ye's character is really admirable. If all the people of China had Mr. Ye's backbone, why would China not be prosperous? He really should teach those who worship foreign things a lesson!”
Li Rongchuan's tone was agitated. He would only say such words when he was in a state of agitation. Usually, he would be very calm. Today, he was really touched by Ye Nanfeng's words and actions.
He made up his mind that he would report this to the higher-ups of the government when he returned from America. They would pay more attention to a talent like Ye Nanfeng. Other countries had failed to poach him, but they had forced him away.
"President Li, you're too kind. I'm not used to eating American steak. Chinese white rice is more to my liking.”
Ye Nanfeng teased, and the atmosphere immediately eased up. Li Rongchuan also relaxed a lot, and his good impression of Ye Nanfeng deepened.
The auction of " Brilliant Stars " would be held tomorrow night. It was a charity auction, and all the money from the jewelry auction would be donated to the International Charity Foundation.
This unique gemstone had attracted the attention of wealthy people, collectors, and jewelers from all over the world. None of the attendees were worth less than a million dollars, and this was only the qualification to watch the auction. The real bidders were those who were worth more than a hundred million dollars. This was their competition, and the others could only watch.
The auction was held at Christie's. Only those who had proof of their assets and were worth more than a million could qualify for the auction. At the same time, they would be allocated seats according to their wealth. This had always been Christie's style.
As time passed, it was soon the next night. Li Rongchuan accompanied Ye Nanfeng. He was not interested in the auction, but mainly to accompany Ye Nanfeng.
