Someone once said that when there is a certain amount of money, money is just a bunch of numbers!

Now Situ Nan himself can't tell how much money he has, he only knows that the stocks in his hands are rising, the scale of his enterprises is expanding again and again, and he is making more and more money.

Situ Nan sometimes thinks that in his previous life, although he was a rich child and had no shortage of money to spend since he was a child, he was not so rich in this life that he was enough to live a few lives luxuriously! Life's opportunities are so unpredictable! Some people are born in poverty and have to work hard for their livelihoods all their lives, but some people get unimaginable wealth because of family reasons or their own efforts, this world is so unfair!

Although he has a lot of money, lives in a luxurious house, and has beautiful women, Situ Nan is lonely in his heart! Because he can't find the coordinates of his soul in this world, every time he tells him that he wants to integrate into this world, he often finds that he is a different person from others after all! Not only physically, but also mentally, doubts are emotional!

Looking up at the night sky, people are like a drop in the ocean! In the Uji Sea, the body is floating in heaven and earth! Whenever he is lonely, Situ Nan will think of his relatives and bitter lovers in the next life! Thinking that after a hundred years, the two sides have not seen each other for a day, my heart will be gloomy. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

It's cold in the heights! Not only the heights, but behind Situ Nan's amazing achievements at a young age is hidden a lonely heart!

In order to make a living, Situ Nan dug his heart to make money, and traveled thousands of miles from the east to the remote west to find oil fields. After discovering oil and making a fortune, in order to get more resources, Situ Nan went from California to Texas in the south to enclose land, and then there was nothing left to make money except to make money! As if he was being pushed along, the current Situ Nan is just a kind of fun to use money to make more money!

Because of Situ Nan's mixed Chinese and British blood and the reason for the soul crossing of later generations, Situ Nan knew that he not only had no relatives, but also no motherland, and even no more of his own nation!

It's 1916, and the pig's head on the other side is about to become emperor! Shenzhou, which has calmed down a little, is about to unveil the prelude to the troubled times! In the following decades, Beiyang, the Kuomintang

, Red Party, all kinds of great people or clowns perform on stage like a marquee, their own people beat their own people, their own people beat outsiders, beat their own people and outsiders, and outsiders beat their own people, in short, it is chaotic, every time I think of this, Situ Nan's idea of returning to his hometown is dispelled!

Mess up!

Thinking of his embarrassing identity, Situ Nan laughed at himself: "Return, I am not a returnee, but a guest from another country or an international person!" "Situ Nan has a lot of money now, and there will be more money in the future, if he doesn't want to return to China to contribute some of his strength, it's impossible!

But he knows that he can go back and lead the revolution with troops? No! Now those Chinese who are inferior and proud will not believe themselves as half-foreigners!

Why don't you donate some money to fund the revolution? To whom? Kuomintang? In Situ Nan's eyes, what these politicians did was no different from what the Beiyang warlords did, they only destroyed and did not build! Isn't the current Kuomintang also playing the role of a warlord? Give them the money, even if there is a certain person who wants to make a difference, but there will not be much turning point in the depths of China. Maybe I will cause even more evil because of my own interference!

Manpower is sometimes poor, China is too big, there are too many people, the history is too heavy, and there are too many powers interfering behind it. The great chaos and great rule, a cycle of five hundred years, even the so-called great men are just retreating from the river! No one can wrestle with the inertia of history!

If you are not a Shenzhou person in this life, it is difficult to be a Christian ghost in death!

Although Situ Nan can occupy a place in the American business community, he is the soul of a Chinese after all, and his thinking is also Chinese!

Embarrassed! Yes, Situ Nan felt embarrassed by his position! He suddenly remembered a class of people: Chinese! Especially the Chinese in Nanyang, although they are very rich, they have no status in the country's politics, and the Chinese and their descendants are second-class citizens of their country, and often become the object of other people's fish! Unless they are naturalized and become the same people as the natives, or completely westernized and become yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana people. When people are still in the early years of the Republic of China, it is really the craze of Chinese going to Nanyang and going to the Americas, the first generation of Chinese are all Chinese with strong patriotic feelings, but objectively speaking, the vast majority of Chinese immigrants are forced, they are engaged in hard labor, and the pay is the least, more than half of them will die in other places, and the road of immigration is bloody.

In this era, the Chinese or Chinese are a tragedy, whether on the mainland or in the South Seas, the Americas or elsewhere. In the era of Western learning from the East, the Chinese who were interned abroad and their persistent traditional Confucian culture were made difficult by others everywhere, and the Chinese were inferior.

Although Situ Nan did not have much contact with Chinese, how to say it, he felt like Lu Xun's Chinese, a little ignorant, stubborn, and insensitive.

It's not their fault, in fact, in this era, even the majority of ordinary people in European countries are not very high, which is seen from the eyes of Situ Nan's modern people.

Situ Nan didn't mean to look down on the Chinese, in fact, although there are not as many Chinese in Los Angeles as there are in San Francisco, there are many people who work in Situ Nan's factories, and the treatment is the same as others, Situ Nan just feels that he is different from them, there is a generation gap! In the eyes of some Chinese factory workers, Situ Nan is still a good half-foreign boss, and the two sides will never feel too close.

Situ Nan couldn't understand the Hokkien or Hakka dialect spoken by the Chinese, and the Mandarin spoken by Situ Nan sometimes had to be repeated many times before they could hear it, and sometimes they had to use English to find communication problems in the end.

Fortunately, Situ Nan did not "show" his unique set of simplified characters, except for the traveler, he is the only one in this world who is used to this strange Chinese character!

In fact, this is useless at all, if it were not for the Wenxiu around him, Situ Nan sometimes suspected that he would not be able to speak a word of Chinese for a year.

Now the people in the family have become accustomed to the imagination of Situ Nan, the master, and He Wenxiu talking Chinese, and Mary and the maids at home can also understand a few simple Chinese pronunciations, such as "eat" and "hello". There is no way, the owner of the house is in a strong position.

Every traveler is lonely inside! Because his knowledge, thinking, values, and feelings all come from the original time and space. It wasn't until he integrated into the new environment, over time, over time, that he became a part of it.

Situ Nan sometimes thinks to himself, marry a foreign girl, and then multiply from generation to generation, use the insight that is ahead of others to create some companies, and if he works hard, he may become a Fortune 500 company.

With a successful career, it is not difficult to become a man of the year in the business world, which is a pursuit that Situ Nan would not dare to imagine in his previous life.

At least in his previous life, he didn't think about how ambitious he was, and he could mix in a high-level in the multinational company where he used to work or go home to inherit the small company at home, and Situ Nan snickered at becoming one of China's top 500 companies.

After all, in his previous life, most of the resources of society were monopolized by people, and it was impossible for private enterprises to have much room for development.

After inexplicably coming to this era, Situ Nan found that the United States was really a businessman's paradise, especially for people like him who had been specially processed, it was simply blessed.

Situ Nan did not doubt that he could succeed in business, at least he vaguely believed in his heart that he was different, and his ambition should be a little bigger.

"Lao He, do you have any dreams? Or what do you most want to do? Situ Nan suddenly asked He Wenxiu. Today, He Wenxiu rarely returned to Situ Nan's villa manor, and he was usually quite busy managing the security company, so the two hadn't seen each other for a while.

This is completely Situ Nan's boring question, as the saying goes, Situ Nan not only has money, but also has been satisfied recently, so he has time to think about it.

Most people in the world are busy making ends meet, or struggling to survive, so they don't have the time to think about these boring things.

Most ordinary people are very realistic, to put it bluntly, they only believe what they can see with their eyes, such as a salary of 5 dollars a day, how many pounds of meat to buy today, etc., and they will not fantasize about unrealistic things. Workers start up, farmers farm, People's Liberation Army ······

Well, forget it, in the previous life, when Hong Kong returned to China in 97, a reporter interviewed a farmer in the mainland and asked him how he felt.

As a result, the farmer replied: "If you return, you will farm, and if you don't return, you will also farm, and there is no difference." ”

Only those revolutionaries or thinkers, literati and the like will have time to think about the so-called great truths, and most of these people will be idle and bored only if they have abundant material guarantees.

Now Situ Nan has also fallen into this state, but he is a realistic person after all, and he is by no means an idealist.

He Wenxiu's answer for the second time was the same as the last time: "Find my sister, and that damn white man doesn't look down on us Chinese." ”

Situ Nan knows this answer, but it's a pity that in the vast sea of people, looking for a needle in a haystack, how easy is it?

As for the second wish, well, Situ Nan seems to be unrealistic, except that he can live long enough to wait until one day.

"Little sister's affairs will be fruitless for a while, but I believe that Jiren has his own nature, and your brothers and sisters will always get together one day!" Situ Nan patted He Wenxiu's shoulder, he couldn't have experienced the most about the loss of his relatives and the feeling of living alone, he and He Wenxiu are both people who have the same disease, He Wenxiu at least has a thought, but Situ Nan will not even have a thought, which is one of the reasons why their relationship has always been very good.

"By the way, you said that you want white people to look up to you, do you have any plans?" Situ Nan said that he knew that it was a bit extravagant to change this reality, and if He Wenxiu wanted to do something, he would support it.

"If our country can become strong, will those white people dare to bully us casually?" He Wenxiu is still a little angry, there are Chinese in California, USA, and there are also yellow-skinned Japanese, but their treatment is much better than that of Chinese, although their number is much smaller than that of Chinese.

"That's what I said!" Situ Nan nodded, and then added, "But this assumption is meaningless. Now the pig's head over there wants to be the emperor, and the generals below are a little unhappy, and the people in the alliance will not be reconciled, saying that they are going to jump out and make trouble, they have just been calm for a while, and they may have to fight again.

You say that with these people, how can the country be rich and strong? Situ Nan sneered unceremoniously, "Why don't you go back to the mainland and make a revolution or something, and you can't say that you can mix up with the overseer or something?"

If you have a heart, you don't want people, and you won't give your life, but if you give money, guns and other things, you won't be lacking, our friendship between the two, don't I also have a good time? Situ Nan said with a smile, I don't know if he wanted to completely dispel He Wenxiu's unrealistic thoughts or encourage him.

Speaking of it, it's a fire, a few days ago, there was a person who claimed to be a confederacy, well, it seems that the person in charge of the North American branch of the Chinese Revolutionary Party who had changed its name to the Kuomintang or the Chinese Revolutionary Party came to the door to encourage Situ Nan to join the gang, according to that guy's words, he has the money to contribute and the power to contribute.

The meaning is clear, well, asking for money.

I don't know where this guy came from to inquire about Situ Nan's identity, Situ Nan has never had anything to do with these guys, it is estimated that Situ Nan's factory in Los Angeles recruited a lot of Chinese, and from their mouths, I know that Situ Nan, the big boss, still has Chinese blood!

In fact, this matter can't be hidden from those who have a heart, and now how can I say that Situ Nan is also a man of the year in the business community in California and even in the west!

Situ Nan invested a lot of money, and opened a lot of factories one after another, and now the products are continuously sold to Europe, and the rise of a large number of industries such as oil, steel, mortar factories, meat products, etc., are directly or indirectly related to Situ Nan, and Situ Nan is also fortunate to be a guest at the governor's house!

Of course, the Hollywood film industry is far less prosperous now than it was a hundred years later, and the current governor of California is not the strong actor, but just a philistine politician.

Situ Nan knew that these revolutionary parties would not succeed, but after all, many revolutionary parties were enthusiastic and ideal young people, and if they did not have a special experience, they would not be much better than them.

People who dedicate themselves to their ideals should be respected, so Situ Nan is not easy to refuse people thousands of miles away, and he donated 10,000 US dollars very interestingly.

That's a lot of money! If you don't care about success or failure, it is estimated that it is barely possible to launch a small-cost uprising or something.

You must know the current price level in the United States, an egg is only a few cents, so Situ Nan is quite generous.

However, this was the first and last time to donate money to these revolutions, and Situ Nan really couldn't think of any good effect on China by donating more money.

Warlord scuffle, no matter who comes to power, it is not the country that wins, Situ Nan does not want to become an ATM for some careerists, although he can afford the money!

In order to dispel their thoughts of continuing to entangle, Situ Nan finally said: "Mr. Lin, I am a businessman and pay attention to the return on investment, but it is undeniable that I am Chinese and still have Chinese blood in my body, so I am happy to see the country strong."

But seriously, I'm not very optimistic about you, and the loud slogans you put forward seem to me to be unrealistic.

In fact, what struck me was not what kind of doctrine you call or the prestige of any leader, but the spirit of dedication and sacrifice for your ideals! ”

"You!" Lin Yifu blushed and stared at Situ Nan, feeling that he had been greatly insulted. No one had ever spoken to him so mercilessly as Situ Nan.

He looked at the young and excessive face, a hairy boy even had such a big mouth, if it weren't for the 10,000 dollars, he really wanted to educate this offspring who didn't know the height of the sky.

However, after comparing the size of the two sides, he is still on someone else's territory, and it seems that the strength of the other party is unfathomable, and he has a great influence in the local politics and business, so he has to bow his head under the eaves, Lin Yifu didn't throw down any heroic words, but just looked at Situ Nan angrily.

Are you talking too hard? After all, others don't want to know the future like themselves, so it's better to stay away!

Situ Nan thought to himself. He smiled and said, "Of course, I hope what I say is better wrong." ”

As he spoke, he picked up his teacup. Well, as soon as this kind of action came out, Lin Yifu naturally knew that today's conversation was coming to an end, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but it was not without gain. So he left with a sense of humor.

Situ Nan didn't say anything just now, most of the funds for the series of uprisings of the revolutionary party in the late Qing Dynasty came from donations from overseas Chinese, and they rarely could raise funds for the uprisings in China, so they could only rely on donations from overseas Chinese.

In particular, the Chinese in Southeast Asia are the ATMs of the revolutionary party, and this sentence is not too much to say. There is no Han Chinese who like to ride on the head of the Han people to be powerful but incompetent Manchurian waste, so they are very happy to respond to the call of the revolutionary party and contribute money and efforts, just to overthrow the Whip Dynasty.

This wish had been realized in 1912, but the seemingly successful revolution did not bring good changes to the country, and the strong motherland that the overseas Chinese longed for did not appear, so the inferior treatment of these overseas travelers did not change.

Well, the Chinese are still second-class citizens, and they are the target of exploitation and bullying by others, both at home and abroad, but their enthusiasm for the motherland has never changed, although this motherland has never been kind to them in the past two or three hundred years.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the contributions of overseas Chinese to the motherland could not be clearly explained in a few words, but once there were Chinese immigrants or struggling to survive overseas, they had never seen the mainland government concerned about the interests of overseas Chinese.

After World War II, the colonies in Southeast Asia became independent one after another, and the Chinese who became outcasts fell into an embarrassing situation, dissolving in the local aborigines, and the door to return to China was locked.

After all, the Chinese are still second-class citizens, and the industries they work hard to manage often become the target of the natives, and they have become the target of the aborigines' violence and have no power to fight back, so they can only cry and shout, waiting for a little cheap sympathy from the world.

In Situ Nan's previous life, the Chinese have gradually become a historical term, because with the continuous assimilation of generations of newly-born Chinese descendants, their dress, language, name, and thinking are no different from the local aborigines, and the influence of tradition is almost less and less on them, almost negligible, except for a small number of Chinese who are still struggling to persevere.

The reason why Situ Nan knows these things is inseparable from his previous life, in his previous life, his father was because an overseas Chinese relative who returned from Southeast Asia lent him a sum of money, he was able to seize the opportunity at the time of reform and opening up, and made a fortune with his own efforts, otherwise how could Situ Nan go to the United States to study?

In previous lives, Chinese young people who were able to study abroad were the children of rich and powerful families, and their shrewd parents arranged for them to study abroad, not only to provide their children with a good education, but also to transfer assets from the country, especially the children of certain party members, who lived under the superhuman treatment brought by the power of their parents, and carried forward this treatment, and sought the benefits of making ordinary people envious and hateful.

Can children from poor families study abroad? Yes, but only a very small number of geniuses who complete their studies through their own talents or scholarships from American universities, but also end up serving the United States.

In general, it is good for children from poor families to study abroad, not to mention studying abroad.

Now in this era, there are also a large number of Chinese immigrating overseas, but not investment immigrants and technical immigrants after a hundred years, but immigrants!

Without the Qing Dynasty and Yuan Shikai, most Chinese did not have a good life. I can't survive in China, so I can only try my luck in the South Seas.

The same immigrants, European immigrants came to the United States to achieve their new country and new dreams, while the Chinese wanted to survive but couldn't! Why is it so surprising?

The Protestants on board the Mayflower had a new dream of a new country, to build an ideal religious world, to deal with each other independently and equally, and to sign the Mayflower Convention on board before they reached the shore, and as a result, they realized their dreams.

Now the mainstream of the United States is the Puritans, on the one hand, they strive to create a new life through self-struggle, living a life of abundance but not luxury, on the other hand, they strive to create wealth through guò to achieve self-worth, and many people donate their inheritance to the society after death.

Many famous museums, schools, libraries, etc. in the United States are donated by private individuals.

Chinese immigrants go to sea in order to survive, their greatest wish is to save a sum of money, and then return to their hometown, and the fallen leaves are rooted in the hearts of the vast majority of Chinese, so they themselves think that they are just passers-by in other places, and they do not think of staying at all.

Of course, in the end, there are only a few people who can return to their hometowns, and most of them either die in other places, or they have no choice but to stay, and then they have no choice but to take root.

Because of racial issues, as well as the unique culture of the Chinese themselves, they are relatively conservative and closed, and they are under double pressure from whites and local natives in the colony.

The natives are not good at business, do not like to do heavy work, dangerous work, these have been replaced by the Chinese, so the Chinese can only be sandwiched in a limited space to develop, which is not comparable with the white immigrants in the United States to take root and flourish, and it is congenitally insufficient.

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger! In the countries after the independence of the Southeast Asian colonies after World War II, the Chinese were not the masters of those countries, but under the instigation and propaganda of well-intentioned people, the Chinese were a bit like the German Jews in World War II (of course, they could not have been as successful as the Jews).

So this is the reason why the natives often use the Chinese to open the knife, one is that the Chinese are rich, and the other is that the Chinese have no strong means of resistance.

The trick of robbing the rich and helping the poor, "fighting the landlords" is not unique, there is nothing faster than robbing the money, especially when this kind of robbery is encouraged, there is nothing more wonderful for the greedy and leisurely aborigines than robbing the Chinese!

It is precisely because of the environment in this life that Situ Nan has become more and more deeply aware of the difficulties of the Chinese, and he will insist that the Chinese workers in his factory be treated the same as the white workers!

He is not a savior, let alone the kind of shining Dongfanghong, just a little smart and ambitious person, who looks like a big man, but there is always some apprehension in his heart, and he is not a young man who has much security.

Situ Nan didn't think he had any royal spirit, and changing the history of a country was too heavy and unrealistic for him.

In the future, if you have the opportunity and have the strength, you may be able to do something. Situ Nan thought to himself.
