The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 419 Unique Negotiation Skills

While Chen Zhengwei was still sleeping, the news had already spread throughout the United States through newspapers.

"Historic event, the Chinese have arrived in Washington!"

The newspapers indicated that an exchange of fire had taken place between the two sides in Annapolis the night before, and that the Chinese had entered Washington late last night.

The top wealthy people have already received this news.

Those ordinary people only learned about it through the newspapers at this time and were shocked.

In recent days, news about the whereabouts of the Chinese has been circulating widely, such as "The Chinese have left New York", "The Chinese have arrived in Baltimore", and "The Chinese are aiming at Washington". Until now, everyone has finally received the real news.

He actually reached Washington.

It was clearly written in the newspaper that some Chinese troops remained outside Washington, while some entered Washington.

The Army has suffered a series of defeats, and the White House will most likely have to negotiate with the Chinese next.

"We have really reached Washington... What we cannot get on the battlefield must be obtained at the negotiating table!" Yung Wing was at the New York embassy, looking at the newspaper in his hand, with a slight smile on his face.

His face was full of sighs.

At first he thought Chen Zhengwei was irrational and that the resistance would soon be extinguished under the suppression of the US Army.

However, Chen Zhengwei demonstrated his amazing military command ability with one victory after another.

In particular, after meeting Chen Zhengwei, Yung Wing found that Chen was much smarter and more perceptive than he had imagined.

Now that he has really entered Washington...it all depends on how he talks with the White House.

Yung Wing could not wait for the result.

As for what will happen in the future, he believes that Chen Zhengwei already has a comprehensive plan.

This was the greatest miracle he had ever seen and experienced in his life.

"But he has set a bad precedent! The United States is a country of immigrants. In the future, other ethnic groups..."

"When other ethnic groups encounter problems in the future, they will definitely follow his example! The United States is a country of immigrants!" British Minister Sir Edward Thornton couldn't hide the smile on his face.

That Chinese man has planted a fire under the soil of America that could be reignited at any moment.

I have to say that Randolph Churchill had an amazing vision. That Chinese man was truly a military genius!
Yes, Chen Zhengwei's actions planted a seed, a spark, in the United States, pointing the way for other ethnic groups.

This flame may be reignited at any time when other ethnic groups are treated unfairly.

This is the biggest and most far-reaching impact of this conflict.

……

In Chinatown, young people were waving newspapers with ecstasy on their faces.

"Brother Wei has reached Washington! Brother Wei has really reached Washington!"

"The newspapers say that Viagra defeated the Army at Annapolis and entered Washington last night!"

Excited voices spread throughout Chinatown and were soon surrounded by a crowd.

At this moment, Chen Zhengwei's reputation among the Chinese reached its peak.

After hearing the news, some members of the Chamber of Commerce couldn't help but marvel and sigh.

When Chen Zhengwei was rising to fame and power in Chinatown, who could have imagined that he would be like this today?
At that time, Chen Zhengwei was rampant in Chinatown, and then in the entire San Francisco. From that time on, the status of Chinese people in Chinatown began to change.

Originally, Chinese people couldn’t even leave Chinatown and were discriminated against and insulted wherever they went.

As Chen Zhengwei's power and influence grew, the status of Chinese in San Francisco became increasingly higher.

From Chinatown to half of San Francisco, and then to all of San Francisco.

Later, Chen Zhengwei expanded his influence to Chicago, where he also showed no signs of restraint, and was then targeted by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Army.

During that period, many Chinese people were filled with worries.

They were afraid that Chen Zhengwei’s actions would implicate other Chinese people.

However, unexpectedly, Chen Zhengwei led his men and fought all the way from Chicago to Washington.

According to Chen Zhengwei's style of doing things, he will not suffer any loss in the negotiations in Washington.

"Your husband is so awesome!" Lin Mingsheng exclaimed in the martial arts hall.

"I want to go to Washington!" Lin Changning couldn't suppress the longing and pride in his heart.

"It will take at least eight days to get there from here. By the time you get there, everything will be discussed."

"Then I'll go to New York!" Lin Changning said stubbornly.

Now that San Francisco has stabilized, nothing will happen next. There is no point for her to stay here.

Lin Changning picked up the knife on the table and walked out of the martial arts hall.

She asked Rong Jiacai to help her arrange a train.

There is another thing. A few days ago, a man was sent back from Chicago. He was the culprit of the Virginia massacre.

Now the result is out, he was hanged in Chinatown.

Show off your power!

Let everyone know what will happen to those who dare to do such things. That afternoon, a foreigner was dragged to Chinatown and a rope was put around his neck.

"Don't worry, Brother Wei is afraid that you will be too lonely down there, so he has sent your whole family down!" A henchman sneered at Changxi Forward.

When Changxi Forward heard this, his eyes widened and his face was full of despair.

Then the rope around my neck got tighter and tighter.

……

"The President is here." In the conference room, the cabinet members stood up when they saw Rutherford Birchard Hayes coming in.

Chen Zhengwei sat on a chair, holding a cigar in his hand and his legs on the table.

Turning his head, he looked at Rutherford Birchard Hayes.

"You're here so late. Is there a traffic jam in Washington? What? You're riding in a ox cart? Otherwise you can't beat me. Riding in a ox cart... you're always a step slow in doing everything. You can't even eat hot shit while it's still hot!" Chen Zhengwei's face was full of sarcasm and mockery.

When Rutherford Birchard Hayes and others heard this, their blood pressure suddenly rose.

There was a long table over five meters in the meeting room, with both parties sitting at either end.

There were a dozen people sitting on both sides of a long table opposite, with President Rutherford Birchard Hayes sitting in the middle.

And Chen Zhengwei was the only one sitting there.

The others stood behind him.

Rutherford Birchard Hayes took a deep look at Chen Zhengwei and said, "Mr. Chen, please maintain your composure!"

When Chen Zhengwei heard this, he kicked the table. With the sound of the wooden legs rubbing against the ground, the entire table was kicked more than one meter away.

Rutherford Birchard Hayes, who was about to sit down, was pushed away. If it weren't for the bodyguard holding him up, he would have been knocked over.

"I'm the fucking winner! Now you're the ones begging me to negotiate, not me begging you to negotiate! You'd better remember this first!" Chen Zhengwei pointed at the other party with the cigar in his hand.

A surge of anger rose in Rutherford Birchard Hayes's heart, his blood boiled, and veins popped out on his forehead.

"Mr. Chen, this dialogue is necessary for both of us! No matter what your demands are, they must be achieved through conversation!" William A. Wheeler reminded.

"Okay... let's start talking now!" Chen Zhengwei spread his hands and said lazily.

"Before we begin, let me make one thing clear: resolving this dispute through dialogue is our common goal and the basis of this conversation," William A. Wheeler added.

Chen Zhengwei shrugged, had the table pulled back, and continued to put his legs on the table.

"Then I'll tell you! I was in Chicago, eating hot pot and singing songs, sleeping with women every day, and then you guys came knocking on my door!"

"First, you must admit that you did something wrong and compensate me for my losses! Especially President Rutherford B. Hayes, you must apologize for your previous remarks against Chinese people!"

"Second, we Chinese must be treated fairly in the United States, and all discriminatory laws against Chinese people, including the Page Act and local ordinances, must be repealed!"

"The U.S. government and other organizations and individuals are strictly prohibited from discriminating against Chinese Americans in any way, and laws must be passed at the national level to prohibit discrimination against Chinese Americans!"

“Third, Chinese Americans have equal rights to vote and be elected, ensuring political representation at the local and national levels. In the policy-making process involving Chinese Americans, Chinese Americans must have their voices heard!”

"Fourth, the U.S. government must conduct fair trials for legal cases involving Chinese Americans, and half of the juries must be Chinese Americans to prevent racial bias. A legal aid fund should also be established to help Chinese Americans get support in legal affairs."

“Fifth, we must provide land to the Chinese to develop Chinese communities! We must establish a Chinese economic special zone and provide tax and other policy benefits.”

"Sixth, the U.S. government must fund infrastructure construction for Chinese communities, such as schools, hospitals, and transportation facilities. At the same time, all universities must give some places to Chinese students when admitting students!"

"Seventh, the U.S. government must recognize and protect the culture and customs of the Chinese community and support Chinese cultural activities."

“Eighth, the Chinese community must have its own militia to protect Chinese people from being attacked and harmed by some racists!”

Chen Zhengwei didn't say much, but every time he mentioned one of these eight basic frameworks, the people on the other side were startled.

The people on the other side originally thought that it would be easier to deal with Chen Zhengwei if he came to negotiate alone, but they didn't expect that he would put forward demands in all aspects from politics to economy, land, law, culture, and military.

If all of Chen Zhengwei's demands can be met, Chinese Americans will be the most powerful people in the United States.

"This is impossible! Your requests are not reasonable!" Someone spoke up immediately, and several people spoke up at the same time, refuting the first point.

When a few people talk together, others have no chance to speak at all.

This is also their negotiation strategy against Chen Zhengwei, first oppose and then make concessions to avoid Chen Zhengwei's demands being too excessive.

However, they did not expect that Chen Zhengwei also had his own unique negotiation skills.

Seeing that the other party opposed his words, Chen Zhengwei's face immediately turned ugly and he kicked the table out.

boom!
The more than five-meter-long table was like a piece of broken wood under Chen Zhengwei's feet. He kicked it more than one meter away and hit President Rutherford B. Hayes directly on the chest.

Chen Zhengwei stood up and pointed at them, cursing, "Fuck your mother! If we want to fight, you are the ones, and if we want to talk, you are the ones! You can't even fight, and you don't agree to talk!"

"You must agree today. If you don't agree, there's no need to talk! I'm going to kill you now, and I'm going to burn down Washington in a little while!"

Chen Zhengwei had a fierce look on his face, and said word by word with great force:

"If I can't get it at the negotiation table, I will get it through war!"

Chen Zhengwei's ferocious performance made those on the other side who had already arranged the negotiation strategy feel numb.

They have encountered the most troublesome negotiating partner!
