The old man gathered all the senior staff of the company and stayed in the conference room until more than eleven o'clock.

Han Xuan finished shopping in the convenience store, during which he slipped in and listened for a while, everyone had different thinking, and this plan naturally could not win everyone's approval.

About a third of the supervisors felt that it was too radical and should be said after a while, and the two gangs quarreled like this, unbuttoning their ties and roaring with their necks thick, trying to convince each other, Han Xuan thought that they were going to fight.

The old man paid a high price to invite them, but he couldn't keep them in vain, and he did hear a lot of problems to think about during the period, such as the lack of experienced personnel in this industry, and the lack of transportation capacity.

Joseph has been recording the key points of the meeting on the side, sorting them out afterwards for discussion at the next meeting, and no conclusions have been reached for half a day, and of course important decisions of large companies cannot be concluded at one time.

When the meeting was announced at the end of work, the white-collar workers who stood at the top of the American pyramid on weekdays had hoarse voices and even oily and shiny hairstyles scattered.

"Joseph, the afternoon meeting continues, I will come later, ask Vice President Draymond to come over first, help me contact PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting, and ask them to do market research in advance. Old Man Han sat in the conference room and listened all morning, during which he rarely needed to speak, and his spirit seemed to be good, and he commanded after they left.

After speaking, he looked back at Secretary Jetton: "Please help me drive the car out, and I'll take him to lunch." ”

"Where are you going?" Someone was smoking in the house just now, it smelled uncomfortable, and he came to the corridor and took a deep breath, Han Xuan asked in a low voice.

"It's all in Los Angeles, to Chinatown, of course. ”

The old man rubbed the boy's hair, went back to the office to put his things away, and led his grandson downstairs.

At noon, the traffic was the most congested, and Jetton drove the car, complaining that Mayor Bradley was not keeping his word, and promised to improve the infrastructure before taking office, but there is no shadow of it until now.

From the black riots in 92, to the 6.6-magnitude Los Angeles earthquake in January this year, to the famous football player "Simpson wife murder case" that shocked the United States just more than half a month ago, it has recently been hyped by the world media, as if everything was Mayor Bradley's fault.

Jetton is a native of Los Angeles and knows a lot about recent events, and the old man found that there are many people who have been complaining about Bradley recently, and when he thinks about it, it is probably because the economy has been sluggish, and the policies he introduced have not improved the lives of residents, and he thinks that he will have to change his support for the next election.

There is an old-fashioned stadium on the side of the road, on which the NBA playoff billboard has not been removed, the red cloth to congratulate the Houston Rockets on winning the championship is fluttering in the wind, and the friendly game sign between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Lakers is now hanging again.

Han Xuan occasionally watches sports pay channels when he is at home, and Americans' favorite sport is football and then baseball, but the National Professional Basketball League still attracts a lot of viewers every year, and the Los Angeles Lakers are currently one of their favorite teams.

Since the Bass family bought it in '79, the Los Angeles Lakers have won a total of 4 championships in the past 15 years, and almost every game has been exciting. found another forgotten treasure, Han Xuan took out a small notebook and wrote it down.

The old man probed over to take a look, but was pushed away by the boy's disgust.

……

Los Angeles is one of the cities with the largest number of Chinese in the United States.

In this city, there are three Chinatowns with a large number of Chinese people, and according to my grandfather, the ancestors of the Han family and the Guo family lived nearby when they first came to the United States.

The one in front of me is the oldest in the city center, connected to the old city of Los Angeles, located on the north side of Sunset Boulevard, and is inhabited mainly by Cantonese Chinese.

Not far away, the second Chinatown, formerly known as "Little Taipei", is mostly Chinese from the treasure island, and the third is in the Shuanggang area, where the new immigrants generally live.

Today's old Chinatown was mainly formed in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, when the Chinese who came to the United States were basically engaged in illegal black labor.

During the Republican period, many industrialists and businessmen came from Guangdong Province, and a small number of intellectuals came to Los Angeles to develop, because life in the old Chinatown was inconvenient, and they gradually migrated out.

In the fifties and sixties of the 20th century, the number of Hong Kong and Taiwan students in Los Angeles gradually increased, and some stayed in the United States after completing their studies, and after a little achievement, they took their relatives over, and the settlement gradually formed an area, which was called "Little Taipei" by the locals, in addition, there were "Little Seoul", "Little Rome" and so on.

Mr. Han never returned to China in his life, only regarded this street as a sustenance, and chattered: "In 1850, there were only two Chinese here, and then they gradually increased, and they have experienced countless historical turmoil, including the "Chinese Exclusion Act" promulgated by the US government in 1882, as well as the destruction of several major earthquakes, and have persisted in developing to this day. Although Los Angeles Chinatown is not as famous as New York and San Francisco, it is also one of the oldest Chinatowns in Europe and the United States. ”

Han Xuan listened quietly, he hadn't been away from his hometown for a long time, and he hadn't felt that emotion.

There is an antique Huaxia City archway in front, there is a sculpture of Mr. Sun Yat-sen standing in the middle of the road, there are many Chinese restaurants, shops, and banks on both sides of the street, listening to the people around you talk, but the Vietnamese accent is the majority, so you can see a lot of shops and Vietnamese restaurants opened by Vietnamese.

The streets are lined with shops for gifts, jewelry, restaurants, and more, and are decorated with traditional Chinese red lanterns.

Walking around the street, most of them are tourists from all over the world and the United States, they visit and shop here, tourists regard this place as a tourist attraction, but Mr. Han regards Chinatown as his home, with a nostalgic expression, and walks with his grandson.

Chinese people take a leisurely walk here, play chess and cards, some are still practicing and singing, the old people gather around to drink tea and chat, and there are schools, churches, hospitals, post offices and other facilities on the roadside.

A photo of kung fu movie star Bruce Lee hangs on the door of a Chinese hospital, and it is said that he was born here, and later became a U.S. citizen with a birth certificate, returned to the United States from Hong Kong and started his career.

Chinatown per capita income in Los Angeles belongs to the middle and lower standards, most of the residents are working-class, basically engaged in restaurants, clothing stores, shops and other work, the common language is Cantonese, but when Han Xuan bought things on the carpet, he asked the boss in Mandarin, and the other party immediately switched to a less standard, but quite proficient Chinese.

An old man at the door of the store seemed to have met an acquaintance, and suddenly stood up from a small stool: "Uncle Dabao!?"

Han Xuan looked back at him and saw that the old Chinese man was staring at his grandfather, recalling the name he had just called......

"Poof!"
