"Hey, didn't you say you were planning to open a Chinese restaurant and invite us to taste authentic Chinese dishes? Why did you change your plan to open a small jewelry store now?" Sofia asked.
Li Nanxing: ...
How do I say this?
Decades later, Chinese food is indeed very popular in the United States and many European countries, and the number of views of food series on the #Chinese food topic on TikTok has exceeded 1.6 billion.
Especially in front of snack shops like Jianbingguozi, Malatang, Cola Chicken Wings, Sliced Noodles, and Tanghulu, there are always many foreigners queuing up in long lines.
But it is mainly because our country's national strength has increased that foreigners want to try Chinese cuisine.
However, during the period of severe racial discrimination overseas from the 1970s to the 2000s, Chinese restaurants were not so popular.
As for the Chinese restaurants opened on Wall Street, most of the diners there are Chinese. So Li Nanxing feels that if there is no policy opposition to racial discrimination, then it would be a very dangerous thing for her to open Chinese restaurants on a large scale in the United States, a country with free guns.
Not only are restaurants at risk of being smashed and robbed, but their employees, especially Chinese employees, will also be harmed.
This is not what Li Nanxing wants to see.
Don’t think that the United States is a safe country. Don’t think that Li Nanxing is just worrying too much. How could there be any danger in opening a restaurant?
But you have to know that in the 1990s when racial discrimination was still very serious, a riot that shocked the world occurred - the Los Angeles riots!
The cause was that a black girl ran to a small Korean supermarket to make a "free purchase" and was seen and stopped by the female owner of the supermarket. As a result, the black girl punched the female owner a few times and was about to leave, but the Korean female owner picked up the gun under the cash register and shot the black girl.
Finally, in court, the presiding judge believed that the female boss had acted in excessive self-defense and only sentenced her to 400 hours of community service and a fine of $500.
The fact that a life was taken and only received such a light punishment directly led to dissatisfaction among the black community.
Then, hundreds of black people looted Koreatown in Los Angeles, USA with weapons!
These blacks not only rushed into Korean shops and looted goods wantonly, but also smashed and set fire to countless Korean houses and shops. Their behavior was extremely bad. In order to protect their homes, the Koreans at that time chose to resist, and many people even set up guns on the roofs to shoot at these thugs.
Finally, the US government sent armored troops into the city, and the serious violent conflict was quelled.
This incident was a serious violent conflict caused by racial discrimination.
It was one of the worst racial clashes in American history, resulting in hundreds of injuries and dozens of deaths.
Therefore, the security issues in the United States really made Li Nanxing feel uneasy. In addition, it was not easy to find a chef who could cook Chinese food, and it was also a bit troublesome to get all the seasonings needed for Chinese food. Therefore, before he could think of a solution to these problems, Li Nanxing could only put this plan on hold temporarily.
If she wants to sell accessories, she doesn’t necessarily need to open stores everywhere!
She just needs to open a "demonstration store" and then find distributors!
"I haven't found the right chef for the Chinese restaurant yet, so I can't open it yet! But my jewelry factory in Taiwan is already open, so I plan to try selling small accessories first!"
"What do you think of the merchandise in my jewelry store? Are you interested in opening one like this? If you buy from me, I can give you a discount!"
