America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 82 Horace's Invitation [Bonus Chapter for New Year's Eve]

Li Changsheng can be considered a representative of Chinese Americans.

They are also considered wealthy.

Although his wealth is less than ten million, his influence is already considerable.

Especially in California, he gets spotted every time he appears.

This time is no exception.

Li Changsheng came to California this time for only one thing.

That is, he needs fairness.

Even if fairness is not available in other parts of America for the time being, Li Changsheng will fight for fairness in California.

The number of Chinese people in California today has not increased by much, but it is still close to 10.

The Chinese Gang, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese Laborers Association, and the Chinese Farmers Alliance were all under Li Changsheng's control.

It can be said that these 10 people are now under Li Changsheng's control.

Of these 10 people, only about 5 are men with voting rights, which means Li Changsheng can influence the votes.

With at least 5 votes, it shouldn't be a problem to elect a legislator.

Moreover, given Li Changsheng's shady dealings...

This meant that the Irish people in California were also largely controlled by Li Changsheng's clones.

Although both of these races belong to the lower class in America.

But the vote count is real.

There is no problem with having two separate individuals appointed as members of parliament.

At the same time, there are also quite a few clones with significant influence in California.

Alexander, an American, was the Qing Dynasty's consul in the United States, but becoming a congressman would have been no problem for him.

Because of the Native Americans, they have developed into dozens of white clones of large California ranchers, and at least a few of them could become legislators.

Moreover, some of these white rancher clones have now become local sheriffs, while others have become police officers in their respective cities.

Because they accepted the Native American territory, they employed a large number of laborers to cultivate the land.

Most of these laborers were white.

In addition, Li Changsheng's clones offer good treatment and have easier work, so these people are all supporters of Li Changsheng's clones.

Although the factory of Li Changsheng's Chinese doppelganger was relocated, the factory of his white doppelganger was not.

It can be said that Li Changsheng already has a certain foundation in California.

However, he had previously focused his energy on resolving anti-Chinese issues and the global immigration of Chinese people.

Therefore, not enough clones have been deployed in the United States.

This experience made him determined to have at least one piece of territory in America that he could decide for himself.

So the first thing he did after arriving in California was to get his clones to run for office, whether as police officers, legislators, or in other government departments.

Li Changsheng's only task was to have his clone occupy high-ranking positions in California.

If possible, the governor should also be his alter ego.

He wanted to put California completely under Li Changsheng's control.

"Since white people are afraid of Chinese people taking control of California, then I'll let white people take control for now."

However, just as he gave the orders and told his men to take action, he received an invitation.

Li Changsheng was surprised by the invitation because the person who extended it was Horace.

Having spent so much time in America, Li Changsheng has gained a deeper understanding of the world.

He was naturally familiar with this person.

He is one of the candidates running for president in this election.

Of course, based on what he had learned in a parallel world in his previous life, Li Changsheng understood very well that the Republican Party would be in power for a long time to come, so this person could not possibly succeed.

However, since the other party had invited him, it would be unreasonable for Li Changsheng not to go, so he agreed.

Sure enough, when they met, the other party was very enthusiastic.

"Li, I've always been very curious about you, but I've never had the chance to meet you before."

"It's fate that we were able to meet today."

Li Changsheng said politely.

"Mr. Horace, it is an honor to meet you. Your New York Tribune is also the original intention of my founding of the Chinese American Daily."

"It was your advocacy in this newspaper that made me feel I should speak up for the Chinese community, which led to the creation of the Chinese American Weekly."

"It is for this reason that I have the honor of meeting you. It seems that all of this is God's arrangement."

Horace said with a smile.

"Thank God, since we have the honor of meeting today, I will speak frankly."

"The main reason I asked you here today is that I and a few other people have started a company."

"Our company is mainly engaged in diamond mining, and we will be issuing stock soon."

"If you're willing, I can allocate a quota of 100 million US dollars to you."

"This $100 million amount will become $200 million, $300 million, or even $500 million after the stock issuance."

"It will continue to rise in the future."

"The most crucial thing is that those who cooperate with me are either financiers, generals, commanders, or large landowners and members of large families."

"These are invaluable connections for you."

Li Changsheng never believed that a free lunch would fall from the sky.

Moreover, given that this was a great opportunity to earn millions of dollars in a short period of time, he was even less inclined to believe it.

Upon realizing the other party's identity, Li Changsheng understood.

The other party will be running for president on behalf of another party, and they are definitely trying to win me over and get Chinese people to vote for them.

Li Changsheng would never agree to such a thing unless he had lost his mind.

"Sir, there is an old Chinese saying: 'One should not accept rewards without merit.'"

"Thank you for your generosity, sir, and thank you for giving me this opportunity, but unfortunately I can't seize it."

"My new book is at a crucial stage, and I have to go back to continue writing. I can't chat with you any longer. Goodbye."

After saying that, Li Changsheng ignored the other person's ugly expression and turned to leave.

After Li Changsheng left, a few people walked in from next door.

I noticed the questioning looks from several people.

Horace shook his head.

"He's determined to lick the boots of the Republicans; there's no way to win over these Chinese people."

One of the men who entered sneered and said...

"Since you won't listen to reason, then we'll wait until you become president and then introduce a law restricting Chinese people, so he'll know the consequences of non-cooperation."

The other person nodded and said.

"That's right, let's ignore these Chinese people and talk about the diamond mine instead."

While they were researching how much to invest and how much to earn later, Li Changsheng had already returned to his residence in California.

He had just returned and was about to search his memory to see if there was anything about the old man when information from a parallel world caught his eye.

"I never expected something like this to happen."
