22 Madonna

Just as Han Huaiyi and the others were leaving, Hopkins, a Democrat from San Francisco's city councilor, suddenly came over and said, "Mr. Charlie." ”

"Is there something wrong?" Han Huaiyi asked, he knew him, but he had very little contact.

"There's something I want to ask you for." Jones' face darkened as Hopkins spoke.

Because he hates this fellow Democrat very much, and there are also camps in one party.

For example, Hopkins is the former mayor's man, and he almost became his rival.

Another point is that Hopkins is a very high-sounding person, and he always likes to express his emotions in a sad and sentimental manner.

For example, in the attack on the Chinese in San Francisco, he was very "sad".

The problem is that he didn't show up at the time of the incident, he hid in his house at the time, and when the dust settled, he enthusiastically shuttled from neighborhood to neighborhood, giving quite warm greetings to the Chinese people.

This made him a good reputation among the Chinese.

Strictly speaking, this guy hasn't done anything bad, and he hasn't done anything, but Jones just doesn't like him to the extreme.

And now why is this guy suddenly looking for Charlie?

Jones couldn't make decisions for Charlie, so he could only wait and see.

Hopkins said to Han Huaiyi: "Mr. Charlie, I want to find a time to talk to you." ”

"Something very important?" Han Huaiyi asked, and Hopkins nodded: "Yes, some personal thoughts based on your philosophy." ”

My philosophy?

Ford said, "Charlie, I'll send you two back." ”

"Okay, goodnight John, goodnight train boy."

After Morgan, Rockefeller and Henry left speechlessly, Han Huaiyi said casually: "Jones, let's talk together." ”

His attitude made Jones very comfortable.

Because he was New Rome's top partner in San Francisco's administration, Hopkins' actions today were an affront to the dignity of his power.

But Charlie, superficial attitude.

He glanced at Hopkins, who didn't react, still smiling.

Well, Jones thought to himself, I'll see what you can say.

The three of them simply found a place to sit in the café of the building.

Mukharov brought a box of cigars, and the waiter brought snacks such as coffee and onion rings and stepped back, Han Huaiyi smiled and said, "Mr. Hopkins, let's talk." ”

"Yes, Mr. Charlie." Hopkins was obviously thoughtful, and he opened his mouth and said: "I've been in San Francisco for many years, so I know everything about your Excellency since you came here, at first I just had a vague feeling, and after the release of Iron Man and the start of enrollment at the University of San Francisco, I completely understood Your Excellency's great feelings." ”

Jones continued to listen.

Han Huaiyi was only modest: "It's not as exaggerated as you say." ”

"No, Your Excellency always does things with the word fairness throughout, which is a very great personality."

After complimenting Han Huaiyi again, Hopkins continued: "I noticed that Your Excellency is not only taking care of your own compatriots, but you are also caring for other ethnic minorities, caring for their lives and speaking up for them. I remember you saying that the United States, a country of immigrants, should be a pluralistic society, and every race should have its own... ”

Who knew that Han Huaiyi suddenly said: "I didn't say it, you remembered the wrong sir." ”

Hopkins was stunned: "Really? ”

Han Huaiyi said firmly: "Yes." ”

Han Huaiyi suddenly opened his mouth because he smelled a "familiar" smell from Hopkins.

This kind of person will first observe the goal, then compliment, then express similar ideas, and then achieve their goal.

But the difference between this kind of person and like-minded comrades is that he cites only the idea that he is similar in "expression", but in fact hides his true purpose.

For example, Hopkins said, "The country of immigrants should be a pluralistic society, and every race should have its own ... ”

The meaning of the former is correct, and the latter is his purpose.

So Han Huaiyi interrupted him unceremoniously.

Han Huaiyi put the cigar on the ashtray, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said, "Sir, I put down Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Morgan, and it's been five minutes since I sat here, but I still haven't heard what you want to say to me." Remember, what I need to listen to now is what you're going to say to me. Instead, what do you think I am. ”

This is Han Huaiyi.

He loves and hates sharply.

In addition, he has a keen insight beyond ordinary people.

Jones didn't laugh out loud on the sidelines, and he hurriedly said, "Hopkins, you don't have to be polite with Mr. Charlie." You have something to say. ”

He added, "Tell us about your plans and the help you need." ”

Han Huaiyi didn't say a word, just stared at Hopkins.

The smile on Hopkins' face finally became uncomfortable.

When Han Huaiyi showed an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, don't talk about him, even Rockefeller is probably a little stressed.

So he felt like his body was stiff.

He hastened to say what he thought.

He said, "Mr. Charlie, when I see your care for your fellow citizens, and your care for minorities, I think a little. ”

"San Francisco is a time of development. We are short of manpower. ”

"In that case, why don't we call out to the minorities to make the Indians and blacks the main force in the factories? Because they are not doing well elsewhere ... ”

"What's your philosophy?" Han Huaiyi interrupted him again.

Hopkins hurriedly said: "That's right, Your Excellency Charlie, I think American society must learn to be tolerant, and it must promote the development of other ethnic groups except for the mainstream white people. ”

"That's true, but what about the steps?"

"We should try our best to solve their food and clothing, and give them care and some policy support."

"What else?"

Hopkins came to God: "San Francisco could build a large concentration of minority workers, who worked in New Roman businesses and lived under the jurisdiction of New Rome. Of course, I'm not saying that you're going to raise them, they have to pay for the work, and the city of San Francisco will subsidize New Rome... ”

Han Huaiyi finally understood.

This dog is more than a Madonna watch.

They are habitually generous and prefer to stand in a safe place to show compassion, but their plans often do not stand the test of reality.

For example, the decline of Detroit, the automobile capital of later generations, a black neighborhood in New York, Paris...

Han Huaiyi is definitely not a racist, nor does he despise the character of other ethnic groups.

But Han Huaiyi is an absolutely rational party and a prophet.
