The journey starts from the Titanic

Seeing her angry look, Situ Nan wondered whether it was because one day that Franklin Roosevelt was drunk and did something insulting to this woman that she hated alcohol.

Thinking of the prohibition movement in American history, Situ Nan shook his head: It is absurd to use legal means to solve moral problems.

In the vigorous anti-alcohol movement of the 1920s in American history, alcohol not only was not banned, but also caused the proliferation of smuggling, the involvement of gangs, and the dramatic increase in crime, completely deviating from the original intention.

"Prohibition will not really solve the problem. The only way to truly achieve gender equality is for women to go out of the house and participate in social work. Only when they become more and more important in social production will their importance be reflected. Only Women who are financially independent will not be in a disadvantaged position in the family and do not have to submit to the unfair treatment of their husbands.

And now is a very rare opportunity. We will not say whether the war in Europe is just or not, but it seems that the United States is about to be involved, and there will surely be a large number of young men on the front line. The positions must be borne by women.

After the war, most women will become economically independent. Given their importance in social production, the government will have to return justice to them.So I suggest that the lady should stand up and fight for the right to work for the majority of women."

Situ Nan encouraged.If this word were spread out, he would definitely be classified as a man's "traitor".

"Stoney, it's great that you have such an idea! You know? Even Franklin respects me very much, but he is a bit prejudiced against our women. In this regard, it is worse than you. Simply, you join us women Friends!"

Anna Roosevelt took Situ Nan's hand and said enthusiastically, Situ Nan's words were said to her heart.

"Friends of Women? What the hell?" Situ Nan was a little confused, so it sounded like a sissy or a gynecologist.

"The Friends of Women is an organization that fights for women's political rights, eliminates discrimination against women, and protects the rights of housewives. We have branches all over the country. Churches, the Red Cross and other human rights organizations all have cooperative relationships with us.

I am now the chairman of the New York Women’s Friends Association.In view of your important understanding of women's rights, I decided to recruit you to join our business."

Anna Roosevelt caught Situ Nan, obviously not wanting to let Situ Nan this outstanding friendly person.

Situ Nan is a bit big, and this elder sister is really...too that?Is this a strong guy?

Although Situ Nan does not discriminate against women, he will not take the initiative to cheer for the majority of female compatriots. To put it bluntly, he is a centrist who is biased in thought but absolutely neutral in action.

In his previous life, he heard that some feminist organizations advocated very crazy, not only to break away from men, but also to promote the elimination of men in the world!So Situ Nan is a little bit insensitive to this friend of women.

Although with the progress of society, the status of men and women has gradually become equal, but in essence this world is still a world dominated by men.Situ Nan bit his head, just didn't nod.

The two stood in a stalemate, no one convinced anyone!

Anna Roosevelt had a plan to make a living and suddenly laughed: "Friends of Women is not only a feminist organization, but also a human rights organization. Caring for women and safeguarding their rights is only one of the tasks of Friends of Women.

Not only women, but protecting children and fighting racial discrimination are also our goals.Black and Asian races are the most discriminated against in the United States. We have been helping them in New York. My husband has also helped Chinese in New York to solve legal problems.

Our goal is very lofty, but our strength is very weak. Only when more righteous people unite, our strength will be strong, in order to overcome the arrogance and prejudice of mankind and realize true equality and freedom.So I hope you can join our business."

Anna Roosevelt looked at Situ Nan sincerely, and said earnestly: "If we don't do some things and don't fight for it, we will only blame others, fairness and justice will not come."

Her enthusiasm and justice is something that Situ Nan can't refuse, especially the issue of discrimination against Chinese people she mentioned, which aroused Situ Nan's sensitive nerves.

Situ Nan's heart softened a bit, and after a bit of tweaking, he was finally drawn into the ranks of women's friends.

"Can you change it to a nice name? The name of Friends of Women is too that!" Situ Nan complained, if he wears the hat of "Friends of Women", how could he go out to meet people?

"Hahaha!" Anna Roosevelt laughed, "Just kidding you, our organization is not called the Friends of Women, but the Association for the Pursuit of Equality, Freedom, Happiness and Power, but because it often fights for equal rights for women, it is jokingly called women. Friends.

In addition to a group of wives like me, there are a large number of righteous people such as lawyers, teachers, writers, etc. The church is also our allies, especially the pastors of the Anglican and Baptist churches who have given us great help Big.

Of course, there are also some fair gentlemen, especially Mr. John D. Rockefeller, who has given us a great help to our charity cause, so I hope you can join our cause too.Stoneney, I can see that you are a very fair and kind person.Join us!God will bless you."

To show up to cheer for the majority of female compatriots, Situ Nan estimated that he could not do it, but when it comes to charity, he is willing to be generous in education.

After thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "You know, I have a lot of industries in California, and I have a lot of money. If I want to build a group of schools there, how can you help?

What I mean is that all students are treated equally, and they are not able to receive the same education due to differences in religion, gender, or race. I don’t want the students in my school to separate whites from other races like in the southern states. Come, that is a sin.

If possible, I am willing to have an in-depth cooperation with you, and the donation amount will be as high as 10 million US dollars!"

Chapter 143 Fly!Nikola Tesla!For the last dignity!

"Oh! My goodness! Are you true?"

Anna Roosevelt was stunned by Situ Nan's words and donated 10 million US dollars to build a school. What is that concept?

Situ Nan stopped Anna Roosevelt as soon as he shot.She was surprised at Situ Nan's generosity, but also surprised at Situ Nan's wealth!It turns out that this young man who talks and laughs with himself and is approachable is a multi-millionaire?

"Anna, you scratched my hand." Situ Nan pulled her hand back, and the bruises on it showed that this woman is not weak!

Looking at her tall figure, if it weren't for Roosevelt, who was a strong master, maybe ordinary men would be crushed by her, right?

Situ Nan thought to himself, this idea is a bit unkind.

Anna was a little embarrassed, she was too excited just now, if she can contribute to this kind of deed, it will be a very big honor for her and the Roosevelt family.

"Are you sure it is 10 million, not 1 million?" Anna Roosevelt stared into Situ Nan's eyes.

"Yes, you are right. I have always admired Mr. Rockefeller, whether it is commercial achievements or his charity justice, so he has always been a role model for me.

Of course, compared with his arrogance of donating US$80 million to build the University of Chicago, I have not done enough, but I hope that more children like me can receive education and become useful to society. After all, There is still a gap between the education in the west and the east."

Situ Nan said.

Education changes the destiny. For the country and nation, education is always the first priority, and the right to education should be the first right of citizens.

In fact, what Situ Nan wanted more was to build a Chinese school so that those Chinese children could become talents so that they would not have to suffer the unfair treatment that happened to their parents, but it was not obvious to put it on the table.

"Stone, don't worry, our Friends of Women Association must do our best to promote this charity. At the same time, I think our Roosevelt family is also willing to participate in this great action."

Anna Roosevelt said proudly.At this moment, this woman has her own feminine demeanor. After leaving the aura of Franklin Roosevelt, Anna Roosevelt, a business woman, will show her unique charm.

She is passionate about politics and has a talent for diplomacy. She gave her husband Franklin Roosevelt a huge help.She led the drafting of the UN Human Rights Declaration in history.

More importantly, Situ Nan knew that Anna Roosevelt cared about charity, was keen to protect human rights, had compassion for the unfair treatment of minorities, and was committed to these social issues, so she also enjoyed a high honor.

In politics, law, society, military and other aspects, the Roosevelt family has always been a progressive force to promote political reform in the United States. Until later, the Kennedy family continued the practice of the Roosevelt family, and they maintained a close relationship with the Roosevelt family.

Although economically, the William Consortium and the political forces of the middle class such as Roosevelt are not completely compatible, there is no conflict in principle.

Situ Nan did not want to become a black-hearted capitalist or a slave to money.In fact, there are not many things a person can do in his lifetime. Apart from making money, Situ Nan also hopes to leave something for the world.

There are some things that cannot be said, and some things cannot be done risky, but little by little, silently competing with the inertia of history in a dark corner that no one knows.

After becoming a co-prosperous Friends of Women, Situ Nan was not stingy and donated US$100,000 to the Friends of Women on the spot.At the same time, he also signed a $200,000 fund for school building activities.

In response, Anna Roosevelt promised that the "Friends of Women" organization would strengthen cooperation with Situ Nan in the future and cooperate fully in education, medical care, and unfair treatment.

If this model can be successful, Situ Nan hopes to be extended to farther places in the future and can accept more students from Asia.

After returning from the Roosevelt family, Situ Nan met with Nikola Tesla.

Meet again. Nikola Tesla, who was still feeding the pigeons in the park alone a few days ago, has improved a lot. He gracefully walked into Situ Nan’s office, followed by a conscientious female assistant Dorothy Si Kelite.

"Mr. William, hello." As soon as I met this man known as "the man who can control lightning," he greeted warmly. Just now Nikola Tesla has been looking for William Financial Holdings at No. 88 on William Street for a long time. .
