Chapter 118: Some People Are Happy and Some Are Sad

Han Chudong and his party were driving to San Francisco.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Chinatown.

Everywhere in the streets and alleys, you can see family-style factories assembling toys and sewing hand warmers, and people like them can earn more than 200 or 300 US dollars a month by investing more than eight hours a day.

The salary is slightly lower than going to work in the factory, and it is even worse than the owner of a restaurant or a taxi driver.

The advantage is that there is almost no cost, and it is relatively free.

I can pick up and drop off my children from school, and I can also do hands-on work while watching TV, so I can make use of my free time and earn money while feeling fulfilled.

Like them, the number of idle people who indirectly work for Han Chudong has reached more than 900 people.

Many second-generation Chinese do not speak English well, the jobs available to Chinese bosses are quite limited, and outsiders do not want to hire them, especially middle-aged and elderly.

When there is a shortage of manpower, it is good to say that once the business fluctuates, the Chinese are often fired before the blacks, mainly because the blacks made a lot of noise in the early years, and some bosses began to be jealous.

Moreover, many Chinese Americans cannot get along well with white bosses, and there is a gap in cultural thinking, even if they work hard, they are still treated as outsiders.

Like Glasses Boy Xiaotu, there are many young people who have clearly met the grades, but are rejected by universities because of the quota system.

There are many smart students who get the admission letter, but because they don't get the scholarship, they are forced to give up.

The country has never been a paradise for immigrants, as advertised, and residents of other countries tend to see only a few elites and a relatively wealthy middle class, deliberately ignoring the large number of low-income groups.

Yesterday, the boss of Yang Guangnian proposed that the production plant be moved to Southeast Asia.

By utilizing low-cost labor, he was able to earn more money, and Mango Toy was able to reduce the cost of goods.

However, Han Chudong found a reason to refuse.

Compared with other businessmen, he has a little more conscience, and feels that he can get money quickly, so he might as well help other compatriots living here to make it win-win for each other.

Invisible barriers cut off locals from rising up, and even if anyone jumped out of the cage, they would flee with their families without hesitation, and "Chinatown" has always been one of the synonyms of Los Angeles' slums if no one helps.

Since he came to the United States to study, he has been despised and discriminated against, and he has long had enough of the feeling of inferiority.

Now that he has the ability, a sense of responsibility also comes with it, although there is no obligation and responsibility to help them, but Han Chudong still wants to help those self-motivated compatriots a little within the scope of his ability.

The grandson has a good life, which has led many neighbors to find jobs, and the son is also very good, sweeping away some cancers that have been doing evil for a long time.

For this reason, Mr. Han has a straight waist recently, and he is full of confidence.

In order to thank Han Yigun, many merchants who saved protection fees recently came to the dry goods store of the old couple to buy things.

This neighborhood is still the same, but if you look closely, you can see that there are slight changes, and it is developing in a good direction......

Some people rejoice, others are sad.

Brother Hou's case trial was over, and he was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 10 years and three months in prison, which was still the result of spending money to find a lawyer.

The shady business quickly declined, losing a decent source of income, and his subordinates started a new business and no longer counted on him.

Brother Hou's wife, Qiao Wei, had the trouble of making her cry and swollen eyes.

It's not because her husband is in prison.

This morning, a group of people broke into the house, took an IOU that Zhang came out of nowhere, and forcibly made her put her fingerprint on it, saying that she had borrowed 800,000 US dollars, including more than 1 million yuan in interest, and made it clear that she wanted to squeeze all the money out.

In the past, her husband supported the family, and the woman surnamed Qiao was pampered, and the only thing she had to worry about every day was where to go shopping and which friends to play mahjong with.

Now the sky is falling.

Qiao Wei thought that she could handle it, but she didn't expect these people to do such a great job, and when she called her husband's former friends, they all said that they couldn't help, so what could they do except cry.

When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back, the road to making a fortune is not clean, and after the trees fall and scatter, this piece of fat is targeted by other forces.

Mercedes was driven away on the spot, and she was given three days to move out of the house, and for the first time in her life, she felt so dark.

There are people who can speak and express concern for her, but they are still taking advantage of the fire to rob, and there is a trace of ambiguity in their words, so they almost make it clear that let her throw herself into her arms, not only for money, but also for people.

Forced to this, Qiao Wei suddenly remembered Han Chudong, whom she had met.

Thinking of selling his assets to him at a low price, and then fleeing with the money, escaping to a country where no one can find him, although it is still a loss, it is at least much better than being eaten and wiped out.

As soon as I went out, I found two thugs guarding the roadside, and their faces were bloodless with fright.

……

I was not born with a golden key, but fortunately, entrepreneurial opportunities are everywhere, and I can earn money by working hard.

It's not easy, but it's definitely not hard.

Han Chudong occasionally feels dreamy, but now he drives a luxury car, lives in a single-family house near downtown Los Angeles, and has more than 3 million US dollars lying on his company account, and always has the illusion that he is dreaming.

I used to think that I would retire with so much money and live a retirement life in advance.

However, when the opportunity is really presented, that desire to achieve fame can easily make people determined to continue to work hard.

I am not driven to become a slave by money, but I am not greedy enough and always want more.

It's still far from Jack Ma's "I'm not interested in money" realm, and in order to say such a thing, you have to have a long list of numbers on your account. Han Chudong really wanted to know how much money he had to become a god like Boss Ma who didn't eat the fireworks of the world, anyway, more than three million dollars was definitely not enough.

Speaking of which, counting the value of mango toys and storm appliances themselves, plus battery patents, four-wheel drive toy racing patents, etc., the total wealth is not far from even if it is less than 10 million US dollars.

Approaching the end of the year, looking back at the achievements made in the past two months, it is enough to make Han Chudong have the confidence to be complacent.

Paying great attention to the beauty and skincare company that was in the preparation stage, it was another cash cow after a six-hour drive to San Francisco, and the first thing I visited was the product development lab.

It is located near Golden Gate Park, near the Pacific Ocean, and rented an office building for office use, and let the laboratory people come to lead the way.

After visiting in the past, I found that there were only some experimental equipment, tables and chairs, and various raw materials were placed on the shelves, and I wondered whether such a R&D laboratory was really worth more than one million US dollars......
