I, Doctor in the US-Chapter 379 - 378: The Summit of San Francisco!

A doctor has also started making moves in the entertainment industry.

That indirectly suggests that the United States has some serious societal issues.

But, no matter how the United States is, even if there’s a sign of decline.

And even if it’s quite obviously in decline,

for some people, it’s still considered a great prosperity!

That’s right, some people view America this way, and they just fail to see the bad aspects of this country.

Or even if they do see the bad parts, they automatically ignore them and help debate in its favor, etc.

And such people... are more likely to be in China with us.

But, what if they come to the United States?

Just like Qin Hong?

It’s fair to say Qin Hong is a smart person, and after spending some time in the United States,

he’s already seen a lot of issues.

Like, how come there are so many homeless people?

Isn’t this America?

In fact, Qin Hong knew there were quite a number of homeless people in America.

Earlier, we had also imported Hollywood movies, which depict homeless characters.

But he didn’t expect there to be so many.

There were just a few in the movies, assumed to be embellishments of the capitalist system.

But upon arriving here, he discovered they’re not just embellishments; they’re quite prominent on the city landscape.

Qin Hong felt a little uncomfortable, but he could still offer a few lines of defense for America.

It’s those homeless people who are the problem!

Right, especially since many of them are divorced or addicted to something.

Yeah, it’s all their fault.

Qin Hong held on to this thought to stabilize himself.

He really needed to stay steady now.

Otherwise, he might collapse!

Originally, after coming to the United States, he thought things would go smoothly.

By "smooth," it meant that with capital, many American companies would cooperate well with him.

At least, in the past, when he was in China or through Hong Kong channels, things went pretty smoothly.

But, unexpectedly, Qin Hong hit a few walls!

Why?

I’m already here; shouldn’t we be getting closer?

How did things become even more complicated?

Especially some people he had previously collaborated with, who now kept him at arm’s length.

Qin Hong was about to be driven mad!

But he had no choice; he needed to continue to make his way in America.

No, not just make his way, he needed to carve out a new space.

Otherwise, what would his younger brothers back home think of him?

But how to open up new territory right now?

Qin Hong planned to take a rather unique path.

He arrived in San Francisco.

In terms of this city, the Chinese influence is still relatively strong.

For instance, a later mayor was Chinese, and now he also holds a high official position.

After all, this city originally had quite a number of Chinese laborers.

During the time of Tao Jinchao, quite a few Chinese workers came over, bringing along impressive Tao Jin techniques.

Yes, even extracting Gold from rivers requires certain skills, and those white foreigners were deft at killing and scalping.

But when it came to real skills, they were nothing.

As a result, these Chinese laborers were heavily exploited by those guys.

But they couldn’t be exploited forever; although many indeed submitted to the exploitation.

In fact, regarding this situation, it’s unfair to say those Chinese laborers weren’t brave.

Back then, they were sold over here, basically selling themselves, and the money from selling themselves was the travel fare.

Riding a ship, but this travel fare was maddening.

Because the travel fare only got you on the ship, but getting across this Pacific Ocean, what about meals along the way?

The ship didn’t provide food or anything else.

Basically, if you didn’t want to starve to death, you had to prepare your own food and water.

Many just grabbed a big barrel and put everything in it.

But the problem is, what would be left in the barrel by the time they arrived?

Yes, the sanitary conditions back then were extremely poor.

Many Chinese laborers died on the way, the proportion was shocking, and once they reached the United States, namely San Francisco,

their health was generally very poor, and they still had to keep working afterward, or they’d have nothing to eat or drink.

The few who recovered were rare cases.

So, from some precious photos left from back then, you could see what the Chinese laborers looked like.

Extremely frail, each one as thin as a stick.

They really didn’t have the strength to resist, and the Tao Jin techniques were from prior experience.

But with this... should they just wait for death?

No.

Naturally, something emerged.

Hongmen!

Yes, Hongmen originally aimed to overthrow the Man Qing and restore the Ming Dynasty, but when it developed in the United States, of course, its purpose changed.

The first priority was to protect ourselves.

Only then, work to overthrow the Man Qing and restore the Ming.

In fact, during the final years of the Man Qing, it still played a role.

Mr. Sun joined them, after all.

And the reason Mr. Sun could later return to China and become the President was inseparably linked with Hongmen.

What did Hongmen do back then?

They sent telegrams.

They continuously sent telegrams to our country back then.

In order to boost morale.

This way, Mr. Sun was widely supported and eventually took the highest position.

As for the situation back then, Mr. Sun didn’t originally have any chance to come to power.

He was overseas, and back then the warlords were everywhere.

As for what happened later, let’s not go into details.

And now, Qin Hong was seeking a connection with Hongmen!

Indeed, Hongmen is organized in America, has certain capabilities, and can protect its people.

Moreover, Hongmen can still exert some influence in China.

These are exactly what Qin Hong needs the most right now!

At this moment, Qin Hong arrived at a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco.

Of course, they serve Cantonese cuisine.

And when he reached the back of the restaurant, several people were playing Mahjong.

"Are you looking for Brother Zhong?"

"Yes, yes, at your convenience..."

"Wait a moment."

The Mahjong was cleared away, making a table, and soon, a bald middle-aged man appeared.

"Are you Boss Qin?"

"That’s me."

The other’s bald head was quite pointed; it was obvious this ’hairstyle’ didn’t look good on him at all.

However, some things are better left unsaid.

The person signaled, and Qin Hong sat down.

The two sat face to face, quite close to each other.

It seemed that this Brother Zhong had no airs about him.

But the ensuing conversation made Qin Hong a bit displeased.

"You mainlanders always have an overbearing attitude."

"Ah, do I?"

"I was talking about others."

"Oh, oh."

"But you guys now... are indeed quite strong."

"Not bad, not bad."

"So... what are you planning?"

"This... this..."

Having a conversation with him felt quite odd.

Fortunately, Qin Hong knew a bit about this Brother Zhong due to prior dealings.

Brother Zhong’s full name was Cai Zhizhong, and he was currently the boss of the largest faction within the San Francisco Hongmen.

In Hongmen, everything is about the certain mountain.

That’s how factions came to be.

Of course, many rules aren’t followed now, and it’s enough to know this person is powerful and influential.

Qin Hong came here, of course, to pay his respects, and frankly, joining wouldn’t be an issue.

As long as Brother Zhong can protect him, that’s enough.

And the other reason...

Of course, he wanted to develop his own influence, but there’s another reason too.

"Actually, Brother Zhong, I want to deal with someone." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Who?"

"A doctor, Zhou Mo Sen."

"Oh? You actually... hehe, that’s not bad, this guy is getting quite close to our rivals!"

As for who these rivals are... Qin Hong didn’t know.

But hearing this, the old guy was happy...
