Chapter 22: Edward Anderson
"Hey, Edward, are you there?" The two pickups stopped one after the other on the lawn in front of a seaside hut, and then Philippon jumped down screaming and shouted into the hut.
"I knew this kid was here to find him, boss, this time you have found a treasure, and only Philemon can invite this guy." Looking at Philimon who was yelling outside, Robbins Garcia, who was unbuckling his seat belt in the car, couldn't help but smile and said, hearing his words, which made Jiang Hai, who originally wanted to get out of the car, stunned for a moment, what does this mean?
"The person called this guy is called Edward Anderson, one of the most famous fishermen we have here, according to legend, his father is Icelandic, immigrated here, his ancestors are Vikings, that is, Vikings, when he was young, he once went to sea with a small boat, and killed an adult killer whale back, and later was hired by the government to train frogmen or something, but I heard that his temper was too strong, and after beating the instructor, he came out, and he was the best fisherman we have here, no one, this guy used to make a lot of money, Enough for him to live out his old age in peace, Philippon married his youngest sister, and if it weren't for him, I guess we wouldn't have touched him. Seeing Jiang Hai's puzzled gaze, Robbins followed Jiang Hai to explain.
As soon as he heard Robbins's words, Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment, and killed an adult killer whale alone? If it's not a joke, then this guy may really not be an ordinary person, thinking of this, Jiang Hai also has some curiosity about this guy.
"Here you are, Filipmon, you loud voice, if it weren't for Vicky's face, I would have told you to shut up, bastard." Hearing Felimon's words, a big man also walked out of the seaside hut here, this big man looked to be about two meters and ten, not young, in his fifties, with a thick beard.
But his own physical condition is not like that of a person in his fifties, with bulging muscles and green tendons on it, if it weren't for the fact that the beer belly has been rounded, maybe his appearance would be more bluffing.
"You old bastard, I'll introduce you to work." Hearing his words, Philippon didn't care, and continued to laugh and talk, and when he heard the word work, the big man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
In fact, as Robbins said, he made a lot of money when he was young, and he had no wife and no children, and if he saved some money, it would be enough for him to spend his old age in peace, but his own family knew his family's situation.
This guy does live alone now, and he doesn't have too many bad habits, he doesn't drink much, he smokes very little, and he doesn't get involved in gambling too much, so in this kind of life, the money is enough, but the problem is, he used to have a wife.
Although he is divorced now, his wife gave birth to a son for him, and the son is not good at studying, but he still went to college this year, but the tuition cost him 50,000 US dollars, this time the money is completely gone, plus the tuition fees in the next few years, he is already stretched thin, he wants to come out to work, with his experience, if he goes to the South Coast or the West Coast, there will be a lot of good work, but the problem is that he is also a little older, and he is unwilling to leave his hometown.
He was hesitating at this time, and now he couldn't help but be a little surprised to hear Philippon say that he had found him a job.
Because at this time, there are almost no large fishing grounds in Boston, most of them are fishing at home or raising lobsters in Maine, and there are really not many fishing grounds in the vicinity, and they may not employ him.
"Let me introduce, this is my boss, the contract just signed today, the current owner of the Green Forest, Jiang and Hai." Seeing Jiang Hai and Robbins-Garcia coming over, Filipon couldn't help but speak.
"Hello, Green Forest? That's a big guy, man, are you going to exploit the marine resources there? Seeing Jiang Hai, Edward shook hands with him, and then asked with a little excitement.
"Of course, but the plan may be delayed, I don't plan to farm recently, after all, I put more money into the ranch, and I may only offer a job, plus a few boats, and that's it." Holding Edward's hand, Jiang Hai said to him, for what Jiang Hai said, Edward nodded, he was still very happy about Jiang Hai's confession.
"Hi Edward, long time no see." At this time, Robbins, who was behind Jiang Hai, also walked over, patted Edward Anderson on the shoulder, and greeted him, and Edward obviously knew Robbins, who was also famous here, and nodded with a smile, but his eyes were still mainly focused on Jiang Hai.
"I want to know, when are you going to develop the fishing grounds again?" Looking at Jiang Hai, he asked with a serious face.
"At least wait until the ranch returns some funds!" After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Hai also hoped to open a fishing ground, but the problem was still the same problem, how to open it without money?
"That's not a problem." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward Anderson couldn't help but laugh.
"May I ask, why isn't it a problem?" Seeing Edward Anderson's smiling face, Jiang Hai asked suspiciously.
"One, I really need a job right now, even if you just ask me to fish for Asian carp, I'll do it. Second, I have confidence in these guys, if Robbins and Philemon are under you, then Burke Dahler must also be there, these three people are here, as long as nothing happens, in less than two years, your ranch can be profitable, this is my understanding of them, and my confidence in them. Looking at Jiang Hai, Edward Anderson couldn't help but laugh.
It's all in the same town, and whoever has good technology and who has bad technology, needless to say, he also knows.
It seems that Robbins does have two brushes here, and the name is still very good.
"In that case, then you are welcome to join, while it is still early, let's go and sign a labor contract, and I have prepared a single villa for you, you can live there." Looking at Edward Anderson in front of him, Jiang Hai said with a smile, hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward also smiled and nodded, and went back to pack his things first, this house is his, and there is no need to return anything, but since Jiang Hai gave him a house to live in, then he can rent it out, which is also an income, and now for him, money is a very important thing.
The next thing was much simpler, Jiang Hai, Robbins and Edward went to the law firm again and signed a new labor contract, Edward's salary was the highest among all the people here, and even Robbins had nothing to say.
Originally, seafarers earned more than cowboys, in the United States, the average annual income of seafarers is about 48,000 US dollars, several of which are the same as the so-called middle class of American imperialism, and Edward's veterans are water, and almost all fishing boats can be driven by hand water, which is in Southern California, at least a year can earn nearly 100,000 US dollars, but unfortunately, this is Boston, Jiang Hai is not ready to give him so much, Jiang Hai and he finally negotiated the price is 1,200 US dollars per week, and the price of going to sea is calculated separately, In this way, he also had an income of sixty-two thousand four hundred dollars, which was really good, and Philemon went back after calling Edward out.
Compared with others, he has a lot of people to bring, and it will naturally take longer to clean up if he takes care of his family.
After signing the labor agreement with Edward, Jiang Hai and his party of three big men came to the supermarket in the town.
It was the first time Jiang Hai had bought something in Winthrop, and he was also watching the prices in this town.
The price here in Boston, in the United States, is also one of the highest, and the income can only rank ninth among all metropolitan areas, but the cost is second only to New York, which is really speechless.
Of course, the prices here are also compared with other places in the United States, which are indeed more expensive, but for Jiang Hai, the things here are really cheap, especially meat, the people of the United States do not like to eat pork, nor do they eat river fish, ducks, geese, they only eat liver, dog meat is not eaten, donkey meat, horse meat, etc., they don't eat, their food meat menu is only beef, mutton, sea fish and chicken, and the price of these meats, to be honest, is very cheap.
As mentioned earlier, the meat grading problem of the American imperialists, the beef eaten by ordinary people here is one pound, almost nine taels in China, and it is only sold for a few US dollars, which is converted into soft sister coins, which is at least half cheaper than in China, and the cattle here have not been filled with water, so there is no need to worry about any excessive toxins.
The price of mutton is about the same as beef, and it may be slightly more expensive, and the current domestic mutton is also more expensive than beef.
The price of chicken and sea fish is the cheapest, a bag of chicken crutches costs only 99 cents, and a bag of chicken wings costs 30 cents a dollar, which is at least half cheaper when converted into soft girl coins!
That's the price near Boston, and even lower if it's in the West, outside of California.
But don't think that everything here is cheap, and the vegetables here are outrageously expensive.
Jiang Hai saw with his own eyes, a Xihong market, two dollars a pound, a bell pepper ninety-nine cents a pound, zucchini eighty-eight cents a pound, this is just the most general, it is considered to be the cheaper vegetables, those hardcover, and then triple up.
Although this is an absolutely organic vegetable, the price is still really too expensive.
Except for some people who go to work, such as these people who live in the town, they will grow their own vegetables to eat, and those that can't be eaten can be sold.
And lettuce, in the supermarket of the United States, is actually only a medium and low-grade vegetable, which is really speechless.
