Chapter 305 US Ambassador to China

U.S. Embassy in Beijing.

Nelson had just left the headquarters of China National Offshore Oil Corporation and came here with many gifts bought from the Friendship Store.

The purpose is to seek the support of one's own country's ambassador to China.

There are two types of U.S. ambassadors stationed abroad:

One is to select true elites with high political literacy and international vision from professional diplomats to take the position, with a strict appointment process and not being accountable to the president.

The other type is an ambassador who is appointed by the president himself and elected by the Senate and is only responsible to the president personally.

There is also an unwritten rule between the two: ambassadors sent by the government are sent to turbulent regions and countries that are unfriendly to the United States.

The ambassadors appointed by the president go to developed countries that have friendly relations with the United States or some weak but resource-rich countries.

Why is this so? Because ambassadors appointed by the president are positions that are clearly purchased with money.

The specific reason has to start with the political system of the United States.

As we all know, the political system of the United States is a presidential system, with elections held every four years.

Not only is the election process long, but speeches must also be given in each state to canvass for votes.

This leads to candidates spending a lot of money to win the support of voters.

Where do these campaign funds come from? The bulk of them come from donations from wealthy private individuals and interest groups.

But people will not donate money to you for nothing. They definitely hope that you can bring more benefits after taking office.

This is just like doing business, everyone donates enthusiastically and shares the cost.

After a candidate wins the election, he or she will be rewarded according to the proportion of donations received from various interest groups.

About 30% of ambassadors stationed abroad are rewarded by the US president based on their merits.

Such as Colleen Bell, the ambassador to Hungary during the era of the first black president.

She was once a producer of the soap opera "The Bold and the Beautiful" and donated about 800,000 gold.

Ambassador to Luxembourg Cynthia Strom, a Seattle businesswoman, donated and raised more than $500,000...

Of course, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1978, the ambassadors sent by the United States to China have either been diplomats.

Either they are veteran politicians, or none of them are directly appointed by the US president.

The current ambassador to China is Heng Anshi, a true legend.

Born in Shanxi Province in mainland China in 1920, he did not move to the United States with his parents until he was 8 years old.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he returned to China to collect information for the U.S. Library of Congress, but unexpectedly, the Pearl Harbor incident broke out.

This guy was also unlucky. He was finally captured by the Japanese and imprisoned in a concentration camp in Weixian County, Shandong Province.

But miraculously, during a prison escape he planned, he was rescued by guerrillas who came to rescue him.

In this way, this American became a member of the guerrilla group and fought against the Japanese for three years with weapons in hand.

It was not until 1945 that Heng Anshi returned to the United States on an American military transport plane.

From then on, he began a 30-year diplomatic career, serving as ambassador to three countries.

In 1981, after Reagan became the president of the United States, Heng Anshi returned to China after a long absence and became the Chinese-speaking ambassador to China.

"Dear Mr. Heng Anshi! I'm sorry to bother you again." Nelson said with a smile after handing the gift to the staff.

"Manager Nelson! Your company should have signed a contract with China National Offshore Oil Corporation now!" Heng Anshi said lightly.

"Alas... the contract hasn't been signed yet, and now there are some changes." Nelson smiled embarrassedly.

"Come! Sit down and talk."

The two men shook hands, and Heng Anshi invited Nelson to sit on the sofa, and then he slowly made tea with the teapot.

"You mean you want me to put pressure on the Chinese government?"

After learning what had happened, Heng Anshi frowned deeply.

Deep down, I really want to kick this guy out of the embassy.

As a true expert on China, Heng Anshi deeply understands the national spirit of the Chinese people who are not afraid of violence and resist power.

Otherwise, they would not have sent troops to aid North Korea when no one was optimistic about it, and defeated the US army, which was known as the best in the world.

"Yes!" Nelson nodded.

"You don't understand the Chinese people at all. This nation has never compromised with power.

Exerting pressure blindly will only backfire, so I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."

Heng Anshi gave a serious advice. Now he was in no mood to continue talking to this idiot.

Instead, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly, then fiddled with the tea set leisurely.

At the same time, add a bottle of special purified water into the teapot to continue soaking.

If a Chinese person were here, he would definitely say goodbye and leave politely.

But unfortunately, Nelson is an American and doesn't understand the meaning of his actions.

Instead, he kept trying to persuade them and was even prepared to offer bribes.

"Mr. Nelson! Let's stop here today! I have something else to do." Heng Anshi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He quickly interrupted the other party's continued persuasion and called his secretary to see the guest off.

"Okay! I hope you can lend a helping hand."

Nelson is now furious. You know, the Rockefeller Foundation is behind the American Arco Oil Company.

Who else dares not give face?

But now he had been ordered to leave, so he had no choice but to follow the other party's secretary and leave the embassy.

"How could such an idiot become the chief representative of the Huaxia region? How foolish!"

Heng Anshi felt that he was really wasting his breath. Talking to such a person was an insult to his intelligence. He sighed and said:

"Alas... Ever since President Kennedy was assassinated, the United States has completely become a slave to the capitalists, Rockefeller, hehe..."

After Nelson got into the Cadillac, he could no longer suppress his anger.

He immediately cursed Heng Anshi harshly, and only then did he feel better.

"Charlie! We're also going to the Ambassador Diaoyutai Hotel and meeting this Mo Zhexuan tomorrow."

"Okay, sir!"

A luxurious presidential suite was opened at the Ambassador Diaoyutai Hotel.

Nelson, who was full of anger, completely started to make love with the blonde secretary.
