It rained heavily overnight and did not clear until dawn.

Bian Xuedao has a habit that he can't change, that is, he will wake up very early when he lives in a hotel, and he will sleep very deeply when he lives in his own house.

This apartment in San Francisco is registered in Bian Xuedao's name, which is naturally his home, so on the morning of October 2, Bian Xuedao was the last of the four to wake up, and when he got up, Su Yi was already going out to work.

When I went downstairs, I saw Su Yi, who was dressed in professional clothes, going out, and said, "Wait for me for a few minutes, I'll go to the company with you to have a look." ”

5 minutes later, after washing, Bian Xuedao went out with Su Yi, not even Li Bing and Mu Long.

In the elevator, Su Yi asked Bian Xuedao: "You often skip breakfast?"

Bian Xuedao said: "Occasionally. ”

Su Yi said: "Skipping breakfast is not good for your health. ”

Bian Xuedao said: "I will meet a hot dog seller on the road for a while, you can buy one for me." ”

After enduring it for a few seconds and still not holding back, Su Yi asked, "Why do you want me to buy it for you?"

Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "I only have a little Canadian dollar on me, no dollars, and the hot dog stand on the side of the road should not be able to swipe the card." ”

Elevator access to the underground car park.

Stepping out of the elevator, Su Yi asked, "What are you doing with Canadian dollars?"

"I spent a few days in Vancouver before coming here. ”

Seeing Su Yi walking to a white BMW M3 with the car keys, Bian Xuedao's eyes lit up: "This is your car?"

Su Yi opened the car door and said, "I just bought it for a month." ”

After looking around the car, he said, "Yes, it matches your temperament very well." ”

Got into the car, fastened his seat belt, and asked, "How much does this car sell for in the United States?"

Su Yi said while starting the car: "The price is 57,000 US dollars, with a little configuration, and I mentioned that it is about 62,000 US dollars." ”

After mentally calculating the exchange rate, Bian Xuedao said: "Cheap, really cheap, your car is in China, and it can't be less than 1 million." ”

Su Yi smiled and said, "It was Shan Rao who helped me choose the car, and she also borrowed me 30,000 yuan to buy the car." ”

Bian Xuedao asked, "What about her? is still driving that red Ford Mustang GT500?"

Su Yi slapped the steering wheel and said, "Yes, she likes that car so much." ”

The car drove out of the underground parking lot and drove for a while, and found that there was a lot of water in several places in the downtown area of San Francisco, similar to the situation of "watching the sea" after rain in some cities in China.

Seeing Bian Xuedao's surprised expression, Su Yi said: "San Francisco has a Mediterranean climate, and it rarely rains. Yesterday's heavy rainstorm, the meteorological observatory predicted a week in advance, saying that it was 'not encountered in 18 years', schools were basically closed, and many companies were directly closed. ”

"Haven't met in 18 years?" Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "Lao Mei is really rigid, either 10 years of not met, or 20 years of not met, or 50 years of not met, or 100 years of not met, make up a whole number, how eye-catching does it look?"

Su Yi shook his head and said, "It's different." Don't look at some Americans who are lazy on the surface, they are really scary. If a TV station is found to have exaggerated and misleading behavior during broadcasting, its credibility and reputation will be damaged, and both will be damaged, and the TV station will not survive. ”

Bian Xuedao did not dwell on this topic, he looked at the stagnant water on the road outside the car and said: "There is a popular saying in China that the sewer is the conscience of the city, and how foreign cities are, looking at the outside, the conscience of the old and beautiful cities is also very limited." ”

Su Yi said with a smile: "Seeing is believing everything." ”

……

……

To see is to believe!

So Bian Xuedao came to TIMONA-Entertainment with Su Yi.

It's not that he doesn't trust the combination of Wen Congqian, Shan Rao and Su Yi, but that this company, which is expected to earn him $4 billion in the next five years, is too important, and he is not practical without a few glances.

Walking into the TIMONA office area, the staff saw Su Yi leading a young man with an oriental face into the office, and thought that Bian Xuedao was a new colleague who came for an interview.

in the office.

Su Yi looked at Bian Xuedao and asked, "What do you want to drink?" coffee or tea?"

Bian Xuedao said: "Coffee." ”

Standing in front of the shutters of Su Yi's office with a coffee cup and looking out, he looked at a blonde woman in the office area who was looking at the office.

Smiling at the other party, Bian Xuedao turned around, sat down on the chair opposite Su Yi's desk, took a sip of coffee, and asked, "What company is worthy of Wen Congqian and Shan Rao personally leading the team to Chicago to talk?"

Su Yi said: "The game company in Chicago is called BGM, and Wen Congqian took a fancy to a few people in the BGM game development team, so he went over to talk. ”

Bian Xuedao was a little confused when he heard this, and asked, "Why don't you just poach people when you like them?"

Su Yi smiled bitterly and said: "The new company is not famous, and the management is still Chinese, and people refuse to come." ”

Bian Xuedao listened, first frowned, then relieved, and asked, "Is it difficult for the company to recruit people?"

Su Yi said: "It's hard to talk about it, you can also attract talents with a good salary, but it's a bit difficult to dig top masters, so we discussed it and decided to simply acquire the company, just because investment immigrants need projects to rely on." ”

The two chatted while drinking coffee, and after 10 minutes, they asked Su Yi: "You have been in the United States for a few years, do you think this place is suitable for immigration?"

After staring at Bian Xuedao for a few seconds, Su Yi said: "Like me, like Shan Rao, like Wen Congqian and Yu Jin, it is good for us people to immigrate to the United States." And if you want to immigrate, choosing the United States will do more harm than good. ”

Bian Xuedao showed an interested look: "Let's talk about details." ”

Su Yi leaned back in his chair and said: "Based on my personal experience in the past few years, there is racial discrimination in most industries in the United States. In some fields, especially technology and finance, such as Silicon Valley and investment banking, the glass ceiling above the heads of Chinese Americans is very noticeable. ”

"The Chinese professors and seniors I knew when I was in graduate school told me that the status of Asians in the United States is generally low, and that Chinese Americans have the lowest status compared to Japanese and Indians. In Silicon Valley, Asian-American employees can account for 1/3 of the total number of employees in some companies, but there are very few Asian-Americans in management, and Chinese executives are even rarer. In many companies, there are many more Chinese engineers than Indian engineers, but in terms of proportion, Indians have higher positions than Chinese, and there is more room for growth. ”

Bian Xuedao asked: "Naked-naked-naked discrimination?"

Su Yi said: "It's an open unspoken rule." There must be a consensus between those in power in the United States and mainstream society that Chinese Americans can succeed, but only limitedly. Chinese Americans can be promoted to a certain position, but they must stop there and are not allowed to enter the core decision-making level. In the workplace in the United States, no matter how talented and capable the Chinese are, they are destined to be a bird that wants to fly but can't fly too high, and can only watch whites, blacks, Japanese, and Indians easily promoted. To put it bluntly, Americans like to use the talents of Chinese Americans to do things for them, but they are unwilling to give Chinese Americans a voice in their bones. ”

"As for the ...... immigrants," Su Yi continued: "The middle and low-class groups in society can come to the United States to fight, after all, here, as long as you are not lazy, you can survive, and if you are lucky, you can get rich overnight by buying lottery tickets." ”

"But for a rich man like you, America is not a good place. It is important to know that U.S. tax law taxes the worldwide assets of all U.S. passport holders and persons with residency status, even if the immigrant's assets are in other countries. In addition, the inheritance tax in the United States is very heavy, the current estate tax exemption is 2 million US dollars, and the tax rate is 46%, even if the exemption will be increased in a few years, it will be increased to 10 million US dollars. You can do the math on how much meat the U.S. government will take away from you if you immigrate? ”

Touching the wall of the coffee cup, Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "It seems that you have a big opinion of the United States!"

Glancing at the office door, Su Yi said indifferently: "Because you asked, I said what was in my heart." ”

At the same time......

Hangzhou, in the study room of the "Yangyuan" villa.

Throwing a document bag on the desk, Zhu Tianyang looked at his eldest daughter Zhu Dezhen who was standing opposite and said, "Here is the property right information and transaction contract on the 79th and 80th floors of the third phase of the International Trade Center. ”

Knowing what his father meant by throwing this thing out, Zhu Dezhen was calm and silent.

After being silent for a few seconds, Zhu Tianyang sighed lightly and said, "Zhenzhen, you tell me what is in your heart, do you really dislike Bian Xuedao, or do you have no confidence in yourself? ”

Very straightforward agitation!

Zhu Dezhen still looked calm, stared at her father for nearly 10 seconds, she suddenly picked up the file bag on the table, turned around and left.

Watching his daughter walk out of the study, Zhu Tianyang smiled proudly.
