Chapter 40: West Coast Gateway
"BOSS, how about this blue Chevrolet?"
In the second-hand car dealership, Ulysses pointed to a seventy-percent new second-hand car, looking left and right excitedly, very satisfied.
"How much?" Roy sat in for a test drive, feeling okay, enough as a temporary means of transportation.
"$3,000, I guess it can be more discounted. ”
"OK, that's it, do you know how to drive?"
"Of course. ”
"Let's go. Let's take a walk around San Francisco and feel the pulse of the city. Roy sat in the passenger seat with a smile and excitedly celebrated his progress to becoming a car owner.
The two drove to the Red Coral Garage in Silicon Valley, picked up Debra, and embarked on a day trip to San Francisco.
San Francisco is definitely the first American city that Chinese people are familiar with. Its translation bears a strong Chinese imprint. In the 19th century, the city was on the cusp of a gold rush, and the overseas Chinese called it "Golden Mountain", as if gold was everywhere.
San Francisco, located on the west coast of California, is known as the "gateway to the West Coast", is a mountain town surrounded by water on three sides, with an elegant environment, warm winters and cool summers, known as "the most popular city among Americans".
San Francisco's Chinatown is the largest overseas Chinese community, with a population of more than 250,000, and is a small microcosm of the struggle of the Chinese over the years.
The American writer William Saroyan once said, "San Francisco will not be boring if you are alive, and if you are dead, San Francisco will bring you back to life." ”
The Victorian architecture of the street is a major feature of San Francisco, and with a cup of hot coffee in hand and watching the street traffic through the glass window, you can really feel the flow of the city.
San Francisco is very neatly planned, like a high-speed machine, but the internal parts are not monotonous.
Boxy buildings, modest buildings, and winding highways stretch all the way to the bustling business district. The lush streets look a little old, with no bright colors to show off and no elaborate artificial decorations, but they are a holiday paradise that people will be flocking to.
The famous Golden Gate Bridge is located on the west side of the city, it crosses the Golden Gate Strait, connects to the opposite peninsula, the bridge body is bright vermilion, lying on the blue waves and white waves, like a dragon out to sea.
On a clear day, you can see the bridge in its entirety, and the bridge is rendered as a golden silk thread, gorgeous and flexible.
……
"It's really nice here, and it would be nice if I could make a home here one day. Debra leaned on the car window, staring blankly at the intoxicating scenery outside the window, her heart fluctuating and full of longing.
"Haha, do you still need to worry about this little annoyance with the boss?" Ulysses laughed.
Roy pouted, if God gave her a brain, she wouldn't have this trouble.
"Ulysses, where do you think it's better to set up our warehouse? Do you want to let the operation lease the space based on feeling, or recruit a professional team to do an analysis report?"
Today's coming out to watch and play is secondary, the key is to see where the logistics and warehousing location is appropriate.
Ulysses grinned: "Tell me that every central block of the city must open one, and BesTV doesn't claim to have 5,000 stores? We will open 10,000 stores." Isn't that a great idea?"
Damn Fake, it's not good at all, and we're not opening a physical storefront, we're still in the middle of the block! We're still opening 10,000 stores! Jinnyima is drunk.
Debra smiled and nodded, "yes." The Stanford University we passed by just now was so lively, we can also open a warehouse in front of the university, so that we can make money from students. ”
Roy said: "Miss, we are going to mail DVDs to the whole city, or even the whole state, what's the matter with opening it at the gate of the university, can it save logistics costs?"
Debra agreed, "Well, we can choose a beautiful place to mail DVDs to students, and we must have a lot of fun working there." ”
"Why do you always want to learn ......" Roy was halfway through his words, and suddenly he had an inspiration, yes, students, young people, this consumer group is the most receptive to new things. He excitedly said to Ulysses, "The car is parked in front of Berkeley. ”
"BOSS, ARE WE GOING TO SCHOOL?"
"That's what you want to go?"
"Hehe, although life with the boss is exciting, it's also a beautiful experience to study and fall in love in college. ”
Debra said: "I am the same, I am very envious of those who can go to college. ”
Roy sighed, "Maybe." If you are an ordinary person, the most important thing is to remember the good times on campus. ”
They walked into the campus. The grass is green, the trees are verdant, and the young male and female students are full of vitality, sports, love, chatting, and games release the infinite energy of youth.
Compared with China, this is really a happy country, now the American people spend an average of four hours a day on TV, chat for more than two hours a day, as long as you want to attend a party, there are always various celebratory parties every night, the combined electricity consumption of each household in the United States is close to one-fifth of the whole world, the standard carbon dioxide exporter.
However, heaven is next door to hell. The gap between the rich and the poor, the solidification of classes, cultural differences, and racial hatred, these growing contradictions are moving towards an increasingly uncertain future with the legendary carriage of the United States.
"This is it. Roy looked at the energetic and energetic students around him and announced loudly.
"Here?"
"That's right, I've got a mature idea that our goal for the next few months is on campus, college campus to be exact. ”
"Really? That's great. ”
Ulysses and Debra were inexplicably excited, as if they had fulfilled their dream of getting into college.

Red Coral Company, Roy Office.
HR Vera knocked on the door and entered, handing Roy a document listing Ulysses' misconduct in recruiting and what trouble might arise behind that behavior.
Roy probably flipped through and asked, "Vera, what do you propose to do?"
Vera thought of Roy's explanation of the topic of "rules" last night, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I listen to you. ”
Listen to me? In other words, there is suffering.
Roy smiled: "I will read this information carefully, and the next time you submit a problem, please attach the solution." ”
"Good boss. Vera replied softly, thinking, this boss is very thoughtful, and it is not easy to fool.
After Vera left, Roy pressed the extension button: "Debra, call Ulysses for a trip." ”
Less leaning, Ulysses walked in with a smile, and asked in a good mood: "BOSS, are you looking for me?"
Roy handed over the materials he had marked the key information and said, "I hope you can still laugh after a while." ”
