America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day
Chapter 20 A calculated strategy: If you love your country, go make money in China!
If Anson Burlingame's appearance was merely to let people know that the Chinese people had chosen to stand on the side of the republicans...
So, Alexander's appearance was a message to all the lower classes in America.
You now have an unprecedented opportunity.
It can enable you to achieve upward social mobility and bring you more wealth and fame.
It allows you to get the most return with the least effort.
To do this, all you need to do is find Chinese people and learn the Chinese language.
If you really don't know where to study, you can go directly to Alexander.
The moment Li Changsheng presented the article written by Alexander's relatives, even Wang Qingfu was impressed.
Wang Qingfu read the article no less than ten times before reluctantly putting it down.
"To be honest, this is the worst article I've ever read."
"None of the articles I've read are as straightforward as this one."
"But this is the most impactful article for me."
"Because of the appearance of this article, a large part of the American people will inevitably develop a longing for China."
"They don't admire Chinese culture or anything else about China; they just want to go to China to gild their resumes."
"However, that is enough."
"As long as in the future, someone comes to the United States to build a consulate as the consul of the Qing Empire in the United States."
"You don't need many, just three or five, and that will create a trend."
"This will greatly improve the status of Chinese people in America."
"It is also very likely to enhance the international standing of the Chinese people."
"Furthermore, it can facilitate the difficult transition for Chinese people to become American citizens."
"Moreover, these consuls who become Americans are more willing to protect Chinese people than I am Chinese."
"Because protecting the rights and interests of the Chinese people is in their own interest."
"This is clearly a calculated, open scheme."
Even if some people can see that this is a well-intentioned conspiracy, they still have no choice but to jump in.
"Because this open conspiracy can bring them endless benefits."
"Putting everything else aside, the five consul positions in each consulate would give them the diplomatic pardon they've always dreamed of, allowing them to do more on American soil."
"This is something they couldn't do even if they offered thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of US dollars."
"Now all they need to do is learn Chinese and then go to China."
"I believe this will definitely cause a frenzy."
"I am even more convinced that the publication of this article will definitely change the status of Chinese people in America."
The facts are just as Wang Qingfu said.
When this newspaper first appeared in America, it didn't attract much attention.
However, when newsboys were shouting in the streets: "American citizens have become foreign consuls in the United States!" and "How an ordinary American citizen can earn a huge fortune with minimal effort is all in the Chinese American Weekly!"
This finally piqued the interest of the American public.
It is absolutely a big deal that an American citizen has become a foreign consul in the United States.
They were curious about who it was that was so brave.
The prospect of an ordinary American citizen amassing enormous wealth with minimal effort is particularly enticing to them.
Most of them are ordinary citizens who also want to earn more wealth.
In America, however, wealth is written down in law, so it's not so easy for them to amass a lot of wealth.
Now that a new opportunity has presented itself, they naturally want to take a look.
Moreover, each copy of this newspaper only costs one cent, which they can afford.
It was precisely because of this mentality that Huamei Weekly began to attract buyers.
When the people who bought the newspaper finished reading the first page, they all gasped in shock.
Seeing their reaction, the people around them became curious.
As a result, the person reading the newspaper took it in his hand and started to walk home.
"Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over just glancing at your newspaper?"
The man glared at him and said...
"Of course it's necessary! How could it not be necessary?"
"None of you know what's written in this newspaper?"
"If you find out, you must come home immediately."
"If you want to know what happened, you'd better buy a newspaper now."
"I just lost my job, so I'll go home in a bit, take the money, and head to the West Coast, to San Francisco."
"I'm going to find Alexander."
Those who heard him were stunned.
Although they were somewhat confused, they weren't stupid.
That newsboy just said it.
One is that someone became a foreign consul in the United States while holding the status of an American citizen.
This matter should be fine.
The second question concerns ordinary citizens: how to make money with minimal cost? Is it because of this?
"Kid, come here and get me one of those newspapers..."
"Huamei Weekly"
"Yes, yes, the Chinese Weekly costs one cent, right? Here you go."
Once there's a first, there's bound to be a second.
The already limited print run of the Huamei Weekly sold out in the blink of an eye.
People at various newsstands called to urge the printing of more copies of the Huamei Weekly.
Many people even boarded trains directly to the West Coast.
Wherever there are Chinese people around, those who were originally unpopular suddenly become highly sought after.
"Tang, how is my Mandarin? Could you teach me more? If you can help me speak Mandarin fluently, then you will be my benefactor."
"You're so stingy! I'm willing to pay you tuition if it helps me learn."
When a Chinese person hears an American, who has never taken him seriously, speak to him like this, he is completely bewildered.
He cried when he finally saw the newspaper.
He nodded without hesitation and agreed, while also remembering a name.
Li Changsheng.
He understood perfectly well that all of this was because of this Chinese man named Li Changsheng.
At the same time, similar incidents were occurring across the United States.
Even on the west coast, an Irishman who had just been threatening to kill Chinese people went to the consulate after reading the newspaper.
"I need to see Consul General Alexander."
"I want to learn Chinese from him, I want to go to China."
"He Chinese make money in America and spend it back in China, while I go to China to make money and live a carefree life in America."
The white people around them, who were initially a little embarrassed, suddenly found a reason to be there.
"To better build America, please teach us Chinese. We want to go to China to make money for America."
"Mr. Alexander, please look to our fervent patriotism and teach us Chinese, so that we may have the opportunity to serve our country and to make America great again."
Even though the clone had anticipated this scene, it didn't expect it to be this exaggerated.
What's even more unbelievable is the group of councilors.
