"I object to this suggestion. It's ridiculous! What can dual citizenship really stop us from doing, even if Dongguo doesn't recognize it?!"
Just when everyone thought that forcibly naturalizing Yu Zhen was a feasible plan.
Suddenly someone spoke up in opposition and burst into mocking laughter.
Then, the person said a lot of unrelated things, but the gist of it was actually quite simple.
It's nothing more than speculating and questioning from a higher level, saying that given Yu Zhen's current enormous influence in the world's cultural circles, not to mention his trip to North America, whether he had any tacit understanding with Dongguo before that, or even a more straightforward deep-sea mission.
This is merely the exemplary effect of Yu Zhenjin, a world-class cultural figure.
If these people could all realize this, how could they expect the top leadership of the Eastern Kingdom to be controlled by a bunch of brainless people, and not understand the advantages and disadvantages of allowing Yu Zhen to return smoothly at a critical moment and giving him special treatment?
In short, it's not just a matter of the interference caused by dual citizenship.
Even if Yu Zhen were to take over the White House and become one of them, or even more dramatically, if one day he were to suddenly become the one in control of the White House, he would still be in a very difficult situation.
What kind of ultimate future would that be?
Do the people of Dongguo think that writer Yu is some kind of scoundrel, not worthy of being their hero?
"My advice is to avoid anything that could further boost the prestige of Yu Wenhua, especially if we get involved in the name of the White House. That would only inadvertently help him gain momentum."
"I believe the best preventative measure is to let him conform—"
The phrase "make him conform" stunned everyone in the conference room.
This is simply because the meaning of this specialized term is something that cannot be easily shared with outsiders.
People fell silent, but not in a voice of doubt or opposition.
On the contrary, it is clear that everyone is seriously considering whether Yu Zhen, who comes from the East and whose skin color and ethnicity are not mainstream in North America, has any value and potential, and whether they need to open up special channels for him to "become like them".
Because once Yu Zhen was given the opportunity, the method of "making him conform" was used.
In a way, they were essentially treating Yu Zhen as one of their core members.
This also means that, given time, if Yu Zhen truly intends to pursue a political career, in ten or twenty years, it is highly likely that this person, originally from the East and not of North American descent, could transform himself into someone capable of dominating the core power of the United States.
It should be noted that even for native North American elites, gaining a chance to be recognized as part of the same circle requires at least a decade of self-struggle.
Now, this writer from the East, having only spent a little over half a year working in North America, has had to make an exception for them.
This is just too much—
Even more subtly, if the ritual fails to bring him into the same boat, the most cruel and bloodthirsty methods will be used to completely destroy him.
If things really come to this, the honeymoon period of mutual trust that East and the United States have finally achieved will be completely shattered, and the evil Soviet Union will then have a chance to catch its breath.
So things have come full circle, as if we've returned to where we started.
"Gentlemen, to make him conform is far from meeting this standard. Besides, no matter what, he is of Eastern blood, not of our kind, and his heart is bound to be different. Even if this person truly passes the test of the 'making him conform' ritual, what good will it do? What will it prove? Don't forget, in the environment where I grew up, there is no God. Who can believe in the loyalty of a convert who changes his mind halfway through his life?"
"That's right, someone who can betray their motherland can never be trusted!!"
"So, it's a vicious cycle. We don't need to continue discussing this topic of 'making him conform,' and there's no need to propose it again. The topic should return to the most direct level: looking globally, especially in North America, is it really true that we can't find even one or two competitors in our cultural circles who can rival Yu Tong?"
"How could that be? There are bound to be people like that. We were just too hasty in our actions and placed too much emphasis on Yu's so-called global influence. In any case, a person's talent and potential ultimately have a limit. I don't believe Yu can achieve anything extraordinary in the future. Does he have the ability to create another musical legend like the 'Century Record'? Moreover, we shouldn't underestimate the corrupting influence of our Hollywood entertainment empire. Yu is only in his current position and remains vigilant. I believe that as time goes on, the evil in his nature will eventually be fully unleashed."
The seminar continued for another hour or so.
Ultimately, the conclusion is that the best approach to address Yu Zhen's return to the Asia-Pacific region is to maintain a degree of trust and freedom on the surface, and even to consistently provide him with a level of openness and trust far exceeding what can be given to him within East Korea.
However, in the shadows, they have to take the initiative to make necessary moves to hinder and bind the established competitive forces, and be sufficiently vigilant and prepared.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
In short, Yu Zhen can only be the Yu Zhen of the people of the whole world. Once he shows signs of loyalty to return to the East, the destructive power that follows must be ensured to be able to destroy him.
To put it bluntly, you borrow your neighbor's golden hen, manage to borrow it through your own abilities, and then expect the neighbor to return it intact? How can such a good thing happen in the world?!
The borrowed hen that lays golden eggs—all of that cost and effort involved feeding it high-nutrient feed to make it grow so big.
And so, the first wave of restrictive force quickly descended.
Tang Jinmao originally intended to invest a huge sum of 50 billion US dollars to give Yu Zhenhui the confidence to develop Fox Media Group's business in the Asia-Pacific region.
On the White House side, without any warning, a set of financial management laws was suddenly introduced.
The gist is that if Fox Media Group dares to send even a single dollar of its capital to the East without approval, it will be subject to a fine a thousand times greater, and will have to pay a fine of a thousand dollars.
Moreover, there is no upper limit to the amount of this heavy penalty; the amount and number of times it is imposed depend entirely on the circumstances.
This single move completely eliminates the possibility of Yu Zhen returning with a massive amount of capital.
