In addition, as far as he knows, unlike other Chinese organizations in the United States, the Baiying Association has very strict qualifications to join the association. It must be recommended by members and approved by all other members before it can be accepted.

He said what he knew, Elson smiled and said, "If we recommend you, I think they will accept you."

After careful consideration, Li Du still refused Elson's help.

Joining the Baiying Club is a tempting choice for any Chinese American.

You should know that the Baiying Club is the most influential Chinese organization in the United States. It invites important American political and business people to attend every year.

Li Du remembers that in 2007, the Baiying Association's annual meeting invited future President Obama to give a speech, and in 2008, the former vice president, the blue giant Bill Gates, and the Apple King Steve Jobs all attended certain gatherings.

Joining the Baiying Club means that you can reach the top in one step and become a member of the upper class from an ordinary person.

Baiyinghui emphasizes mutual help and requires members to be united. As long as they are recognized by them and join the association, even if they are a Chinese beggar, they will spare no effort to help him become the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

In short, for any Chinese, as long as they have connections with this association, they can quickly achieve a net worth of tens of millions.

But it is just a million yuan in wealth. If you go further, you have to rely on your own abilities. You need to be strong by yourself. Baiyinghui can provide help, but it is not omnipotent.

The problem is that Li Du is worth more than ten million yuan now. He has more than eight million US dollars in his savings, wears a watch worth four to five million, and has a gem saber that may be worth a lot of money at home.

For him, Baiyinghui can not provide much help.

However, if he joins, the improvement of his status and connections will be obvious. This association includes almost the top Chinese in all circles in the United States.

For example, former president of the University of California, Berkeley, Chinese-American Governor Locke, American Chinese-American female mayor Chen Li Wanruo, epidemic disease research expert He Dayi, Yahoo website founder Jerry Yang, famous eO Kai-Fu Lee and others.

Elson obviously knew these inside stories. He knew that for Li Du, sending him to the Baiying Club is to give him a great fortune.

It is no exaggeration to say that for ordinary people, joining Baiying will be like reincarnation and ascending to heaven in one step is similar to saving his life.

Li Du guessed that Elson wanted to use this to repay him for saving Steve, and also wanted to use this to repay favors.

But with Little Feizhu in hand, becoming a rich man is within your reach. The same is true without Baiyinghui's help. So why would he join Baiyinghui?

After being rejected by him, Elson asked in surprise: "Don't you want to join? Mr. Li, maybe you don't know what the Baiyinghui is going on?"

Li Du said: "No, Mr. Elson, I know very well, it is me who knows, so I refuse."

"I joined the Baiying Club now because I have the help of people with high status, not because my strength has reached the point where I can join. In our opinion, this is called "sweeping and promoting growth."

"In addition, my status and identity do not match this association. It is easy for me to join, but it will be difficult to interact with them equally."

"The most important thing is, Mr. Elson, one day in the future I will join the Baiying Club, but not recommended by people outside the association through connections, but invited by the association."

After listening to his well-organized analysis, Elson laughed and said, "Haha, it's not easy to be invited by Baiying Club."

Li Du also smiled and said, "We have another saying, "It is said that things are done by humans. I am full of confidence in my potential, and I will definitely do it."

Elson patted his shoulder and said, "Good young man, then I won't talk much, come on!"

Americans appreciate confident people, especially young people, and Li Du's ambition and confidence make Elson look at him.

When he arrived at the airport, before leaving, Li Du said again: "Mr. Elson, I know the reason why you proposed to help me apply for joining the Baiying Club."

"Is that?" Elson looked at him with a smile.

He nodded and said, "Yes, you don't need to do this. I saved Steve because I am a normal person, just for this reason. Any normal person who sees someone who needs help will lend a helping hand."

Elson looked at him, then nodded slowly and said, "Okay, boy, I understand."

Both sides waved goodbye, and Li Du boarded the plane, Elson booked the ticket, and three first-class cabins.

Sitting on the wide and comfortable soft chair, Dao smiled and said, "Boss, I think your words just now won the favor of the old man."

Li Du said: "I didn't want to win his favor, I just thought so."

Dao said in confusion: "But you did a great thing, it is a great favor."

Li Du patted his shoulder and said, "I will introduce you to another slang term in our transformation, which is called 'But do good things and don't ask about the future'. This is what a gentleman does."

Godzilla said thoughtfully: "Boss, I am interested in your culture."

Back at Flagstaff City, Li Du returned to his peaceful life.

The weather was still very hot in early September. He had nothing to do, so he just teased Ah Miao during the day, so he just drank noodles. When Sophie got off work in the evening, he went to have dinner with Sophie and teased Ah Ah together.

Ah Ah can eat and drink, she grows very well and grows very strong, but she never makes a roar, and she screams when she opens her mouth.

Sophie joked that Li Du was foresighted and gave it a name that suited its character very well.

On the first weekend of September, after Hans contacted the mahogany, these mahogany found the takeover, a Chinese wood carving master in Phoenix.

After Hans contacted him, he immediately found Li Du and asked Li Du to contact the other party.

Li Du said: "I'm not good at bargaining."

Hans said: "It has not yet entered the bargaining stage. First, we should stabilize this source of customers. You and him are compatriots, so we should have a greater sense of identity."

The Chinese engraver is named White Chen. He is a young man and is quite generous. After answering the phone, he learned that Li Du is a Chinese student, so he changed his Mandarin and said, "Brother Li, please transport the mahogany to me. The price is easy to say!"

White Chen lives in Tempe, Phoenix metropolitan area. According to the American regional division, it is part of Phoenix, but it is also an independent city, among which Arizona State University is here.

While everyone was free on the weekend, Li Du and Hans took the redwood and drove over.

White Chen was very enthusiastic and gave them an address, but he couldn't find it, so he asked them to wait at the entrance of a resort called HPRRS.
