The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 741 If prosecution was useful, there would have been world peace long ago!

Hearing this, Chen Zhengwei immediately became interested!

"I actually don't like the sight of blood. Have you ever told me that I faint at the sight of blood?"

"Can't you see? There's nothing I can do!"

"I was on a ship to the United States... When I arrived in San Francisco, those foreigners gave me a warning!"

"Clear the bugs! Get out of America! Go back to your own land!"

"The Chinese stole their jobs, and yet they still bully them! Who else can they bully if not the Chinese?" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Then I went to the restaurant, but the waiter wouldn't let me in and told me Chinese people weren't allowed in."

"Then that night, the restaurant caught fire!" Chen Zhengwei downplayed his previous rudeness and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"I said at the time that no restaurant and no one would reject me in the future..."

Chen Zhengwei said it lightly, but the people around him knew that it was not as easy as he said.

If you are unlucky, even dying a dozen times would not be enough.

"It's not easy to be a human being, I'm not here to be bullied! Don't you think so?" Chen Zhengwei looked at the others with a smile.

As the story was told, people gathered around.

In other words, he is the center of everyone.

"Mr. Chen is right. No one wants to be bullied. But we don't have Mr. Chen's ability. We all admire Mr. Chen for what he has achieved today!"

“Overseas Chinese are well aware of the difficulties of establishing themselves overseas, and they admire Mr. Chen’s achievements even more!”

"Boss Han is right! Mr. Chen is a rare talent, no one else can compare to him!"

Chen Zhengwei laughed out loud.

After that, Chen Zhengwei casually told those people some interesting stories about America, and then he took Lin Changning to dance.

In the crowd, a dozen girls stared at Chen Zhengwei intently.

Before coming here, Ou Yeyun was afraid that Chen Zhengwei would fall in love with her. However, after seeing Chen Zhengwei in person, she felt that he was like a flame, which made her heart beat wildly. She was afraid that Chen Zhengwei would not like her.

However, the way Chen Zhengwei looked at her was no different from the way he looked at other people, which made her feel quite disappointed.

Only then did I look at Lin Changning seriously and was immediately amazed.

Even though she was a woman, she had to admit Lin Changning's beauty and her temperament, which was indifferent yet clear, like a mountain flower.

Although Ou Yeyang felt that Lin Changning was from a small family, she was far less virtuous and dignified than Ou Yeyun, a woman who was carefully nurtured by a wealthy family.

But after looking at Lin Changning for a moment, Ou Yeyunzi could not muster much courage in his heart.

And she also understood why her brother said that the other party was like the heroine in the book.

That kind of indifferent temperament, combined with his own heroic spirit, is indeed very similar.

After the banquet, Chen Zhengwei did not give these girls any chance, which made the wealthy businessmen quite disappointed.

However, they still waited patiently for a few days, and without any middleman to help them, they were sure that Chen Zhengwei really didn't like her.

……

"I think there are a few who are quite suitable for Xiwen!" Lin Changning said to Chen Zhengwei after he returned.

She was a little concerned at the time, but since Chen Zhengwei didn't like those people, she didn't care too much about it. Then she thought she could help Li Xiwen choose one.

"Why are they looking for those people? They are all wealthy businessmen from Southeast Asia. Although they seem good, they are actually harmful to him!"

"As long as he does good things, I can just assign tasks for him to do!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"By the way, I found two for your father recently. Bring them back to let him see! They are from ordinary families and are good at serving people! Speaking of which, your father is quite picky!" Chen Zhengwei said casually.

A few days after the banquet, Chen Zhengwei sold a batch of guns to these wealthy businessmen from Southeast Asia, totaling more than 3,000 guns.

Most of them were rifles, with a very small number of revolvers.

What Chen Zhengwei said at the banquet did give these people some ideas.

When something happens, only a gun can protect you.

Later, some wealthy people visited Chen Zhengwei and expressed their desire to expand their business to Los Angeles, which was also to test Chen Zhengwei's attitude.

But nothing was found out.

Chen Zhengwei really looked down upon their little property.

No matter how rich these Nanyang businessmen are, their assets are less than one million US dollars.

After all, they are all colonies of the great powers. Even the Thai royal family doesn’t have much money, let alone them.

As for political influence, it is almost non-existent.

There is no need to talk about the Straits Settlements. For example, the Chinese businessmen in Indonesia were at most Kapitans, assisting the Dutch colonial government in managing the Chinese.

As for the status and influence of Chinese businessmen in the Philippines, they are not as good as those in Indonesia.

What's more, the Netherlands's naval strength is now similar to that of Spain.

Chen Zhengwei looks down on both the Netherlands and Spain.

A week after the banquet, those Chinese businessmen gradually said goodbye and left Penang and returned to their respective places.

The biggest gain for them on this trip was becoming familiar with Chen Zhengwei, so that if they really encounter any problems in the future, they will have a chance to talk to him.

When Ou Yeyun left Penang, he felt a little lost.

After returning to Indonesia, she finally mustered up the courage to say, "Dad, I want to go to America!"

"As a woman, what are you going to do in the United States?" Ou Yeyang directly objected. How can a woman go to the United States?

"Don't you want to marry me to Mr. Chen? I'll go to the United States, maybe I can find an opportunity!" Ou Yeyun said courageously, her cheeks flushed.

This was the first time she was so brave! "No!" Ou Yeyang said immediately.

Although he was very disappointed, it was definitely not possible to let Ou Yeyun go to the United States. By then, not to mention Chen Zhengwei, even other families might not be able to look down on her.

……

At the same time, the Chinese in Perak and Selangor were finally transported to Penang and then sent to Ryukyu at an accelerated pace.

Pacific Cruise Lines and several ships owned by Chen Zhengwei also arrived in Ryukyu and sent people to the United States from there.

Until the end of December.

"Senior Brother, this is a telegram from Churchill saying that Britain has found a new governor of the Straits Settlements!" Li Xiwen walked up to Chen Zhengwei and handed him the telegram.

"I heard that you have been very close to a woman recently?" Chen Zhengwei took the telegram but didn't rush to read it. He teased Li Xiwen with a smile.

When Li Xiwen heard this, he blushed and said, "Just chat sometimes!"

"Chatting for two hours in a cafe?"

Li Xiwen suddenly fell silent.

"Look, you're like this when it comes to women. I told you to go to the brothel and find a few for you first. Once you get used to them, it won't matter!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

"You look like a novice at first glance, I'm disgusted by you!"

After Chen Zhengwei said these two words, Li Xiwen immediately fled: "I remembered that I forgot to take something!"

"No progress at all!" Chen Zhengwei curled his lips and didn't even know how to find an excuse to run away.

I've followed you for several years, but I haven't learned anything.

Chen Zhengwei felt more and more that Li Xiwen was indeed not suitable to marry a woman from a very wealthy family.

This guy is too green.

But he has recently become very close to the daughter of a local wealthy businessman, who is a small wealthy businessman with assets of hundreds of thousands of dollars, so it doesn't matter.

I picked up the telegram and took a look. I found out that the new Governor of Britain's Straits Settlements was Frederick Wilkinson, a senior colonial official and former Prime Minister of New Zealand.

During his time in New Zealand, he did a good job in promoting colonial infrastructure and had a certain strategic vision, making him very suitable to take over the mess in the Straits Settlements.

But this guy needs to prepare, and will not leave for Singapore until at least a month later.

"This guy is waiting for me to leave!" Chen Zhengwei scanned the telegram and then threw it on the table.

"It'll take about two months to send everyone off... He'll leave in a month and arrive here in a month, so the timing is just right."

"Since he is so tactful, I won't bother him."

Chen Zhengwei knew that the other party had no intention of meeting him, so he crumpled up the telegram and threw it into the trash can.

But he guessed right.

This Wilkinson knew it was a mess when he received the commission.

Although he was in New Zealand, he had also noticed Chen Zhengwei.

From the fact that the British Foreign Office invited Chen Zhengwei to cooperate in suppressing the local natives, and no additional troops were sent for such a long time, it was clear that there must be something fishy about this matter.

In particular, I learned about the situation on the Malay Peninsula through various channels.

The news that several major cities in Perak and Selangor were burned was gradually spreading.

As a large number of indigenous people were "missing", and a large number of Chinese were taken away, the population of the Malay Peninsula dropped sharply, and the tin mines in the two regions were almost completely shut down.

These two points alone are troublesome.

What’s even more troublesome is that Chen Zhengwei is still in Penang.

So he made up his mind that he would go when Chen Zhengwei left.

Even though the Colonial Office sent him three telegrams, he refused to leave New Zealand.

……

"Colonial cities were burned and a large number of natives were killed. This is revenge and also a massacre!"

Chen Zhengwei sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, reading a newspaper, but soon he looked unhappy.

This English report always points the finger at itself for the killing of indigenous people and the burning of cities, even calling itself the Yellow Peril and a butcher.

"The Yellow Peril from America has spread its flames to the Malay Peninsula colonies!"

"Fuck, this is fucking libel!" Chen Zhengwei looked at the newspaper again. It was the Times.

"Where did this come from?" Chen Zhengwei asked Li Xiwen with an unhappy look.

"Got it from a British businessman..." Li Xiwen said.

"Damn it, the Times thought he was in the UK, so I wouldn't dare burn them, right? How dare they slander me?" Chen Zhengwei's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he tore the newspaper into pieces and threw it into the trash can.

"Why are you so angry?" Lin Changning saw Chen Zhengwei's bad look when he came in. "Who offended you?"

"Someone is slandering me! It was the British who invited me here! The Times is confusing right and wrong!"

“Who owns The Times?”

Lin Changning glanced at Li Xiwen, and Li Xiwen spread his hands, so there was nothing he could do.

"Okay, don't think too much about it. If you are unhappy, just ask someone to sue them!" Lin Changning grabbed Chen Zhengwei's arm: "It's time for us to set off!"

"What's the point of suing? If suing was useful, there would have been world peace long ago!" Chen Zhengwei was very angry and felt that he was being blamed.

What he hates most in his life is taking the blame.

Chen Zhengwei stood up cursing, and then arranged for someone to cause trouble for them when he returned.

But now he has to set off, first to Singapore, then to Ryukyu, and then back to Los Angeles.
