Two days later, Liu Shaowen drove Li Kangping's Ford car to New York's Grand Central Terminal.

Li Kangping said: "My father arranged for two people to go to the United States, one is named Li Chong, who is my father's righteous son and my righteous brother. The other person is named Huang Jiushun, who is a technician of the Panyu mahjong factory. ”

"That's the best." Liu Shaowen said.

The car arrived at the central station, Li Kangping and Liu Shaowen waited for the visitors.

It is reported that Li Chong and Huang Jiushun took the Pacific Passage, and after arriving in San Francisco, they transferred to New York by train.

Shortly thereafter, the train from San Francisco arrives at Grand Central Terminal in New York.

The passengers got off the bus one after another, and Li Kangping looked around looking for his brother-in-law Li Chong.

Regarding Li Chong, Li Zhuxi's memory retains detailed information.

Li Chong was born in 1895, and his father had a close friendship with Li Zhuxi's father.

In 1902, Li Chong's family suffered a disaster, and only Li Chong survived.

Li Zhuxi's father took in Li Chong, recognized Li Chong as his righteous son, and raised Li Chong.

Li Chong was an educated man, and after attending private school, he attended a church school run by American missionaries in Guangzhou.

The highest diploma of that church school was a preparatory diploma, and the young people of the Republic of China in 1910 could be regarded as highly educated talents who could get a preparatory diploma.

After graduating from mission school, Li Chong joined the Lee factory, and although he is only 26 years old this year, he is extremely familiar with the management process of the Lee factory.

Li Zhuxi and Li Chong are not related by blood, but they are like brothers emotionally.

Li Chong's trip to the United States this time was a strong reinforcement for Li Kangping.

In the vast sea of people, Li Kangping locked on one person, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Brother Chong!" ”

Li Chong is carrying a suitcase, wearing a black wool coat, with a white silk scarf around his neck, he is about 1.75 meters tall, with straight eyebrows, thin eyes, a wide nose, and a square face.

"Kangping!" Li Chong's expression was excited, he strode forward, and in an instant he was in front of Kang Ping.

"Brother Chong, I think you are so bitter!"

"Kangping, why am I!"

The two brothers use a Western hug to express the mixed feelings of reunion after a long absence.

"This is Master Huang Jiushun Huang."

"This is Mr. Liu Shaowen Liu."

Li Kangping and Li Chong introduced their companions to each other.

"Get in the car first."

The four of them then left the platform and boarded the train to leave Central Station.

Grand Central Terminal is located in an area that is one of the busiest areas of New York. Master Huang stared straight at the world of flowers outside the car window, and his appearance was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

"I've been to New York in this life, and I've lived in vain! America is wonderful, New York is heaven on earth! ”

After being shocked for a long time, Master Huang fell in love with this foreign land from the bottom of his heart.

It is reported that when Master Huang learned that he had the opportunity to work in the United States, he agreed without thinking and immediately set off to follow Li Chong to the United States.

In the splendid New York City, Li Chong was also shocked, but he was not as demented as Master Huang, and crazy as a cockfight.

Taking the train from San Francisco to New York, Li Chong and Master Huang crossed the entire continental United States, and they have traveled more places in the United States than Li Kangping and Liu Shaowen.

Li Chong and Master Huang, who came to New York for the first time, were both eye-opening, which shows that New York is indeed different from other cities in the United States. As the saying goes, as soon as you walk into New York, you leave the United States.

The church school in Guangzhou, which hired teachers who were often foreigners, used English textbooks to teach the rest of the curriculum except for the Chinese language. The food structure of the school is a combination of Chinese and Western, so Li Chong is accustomed to Western food.

Chef Huang loves the United States, but he can't adapt to Western food for the time being, so Li Kangping's reception banquet is arranged at a Chinese restaurant in Manhattan's Chinatown.

After the meal, Master Huang checked into the hotel, and Li Kangping took Li Chong to the Chenbian Street apartment.

Li Chong opened the box, took out a number of letters, and handed them to Li Kangping.

Li Kangping's father, biological mother, and mother who are not related by blood all wrote letters to Li Kangping.

Li's father's original wife's surname is Mo, his aunt's surname is Chen, and Li Kangping was born to Chen.

Mok had a son, Li Kangping's half-brother, who died at the age of five.

Li Kangping is the only seedling left in the Li family, so Li Kangping is very favored.

"These three thousand dollars are Aunt Chen's heart." Li Chong took out a wad of dollars.

Li Kangping's biological mother, Chen, saved 3,000 oceans of private house money, which was converted into US dollars, and asked Li Chong to bring it to the United States to deliver to her own son Li Kangping, so as to help Li Kangping's business in the United States develop smoothly.

Li Kangping accepted his biological mother's private money and thanked his mother for her kindness.

"The five thousand dollars is Madame's heart." Li Chong took out another wad of dollars.

Madame Mo's is Mrs. Mo, and she also finances private money.

Li Kangping accepted Mrs. Mo's private money, he was very moved, he also knew that Mrs. Mo and her mother had so much private money, the 8,000 US dollars, I am afraid that they pawned gold, silver, jade, pearl and agate to get it.

To be reasonable, the price of pawning gold, silver, jadeite, pearls, agate or antique collections in China is far less than trading abroad.

A piece of jadeite is worth 3,000 oceans in China, but in the United States it can sell for more than 50,000 dollars.

But Mrs. Mo and her mother should be all right, and they can only do this.

At least these treasures have remained in China and have not been left overseas.

"This six hundred dollars is my heart." Li Chong took out the dollar again.

"Brother Chong, how does this work?"

"Kangping, you just take it."

"Sister-in-law and Ah Bingke are okay?"

"With my father-in-law, Mrs., and Aunt Chen taking care of me, I am fine."

Li Chong has married and had children in China, and his wife and children are taken care of by his father-in-law, wife, and Aunt Chen, so of course there is no problem.

Brother Chong himself was taken care of by Li Kangping.

Li Kangping did not shirk it, so he thanked him and accepted Li Chong's 600 US dollars.

The next day, Li Kangping, Li Chong, Liu Shaowen, and Master Huang went to the Bronx Farm for a field trip.

"What a big field!" Master Huang exclaimed.

Afterwards, the four of them entered the wooden house, and Master Huang spread out the materials he had brought from China and gave an explanation.

It turned out that the Panyu Mahjong Factory was a small workshop, and its workshop and warehouse covered a total of one acre.

Ivory mahjong is a luxury, finely crafted and handmade, which is understandable.

Out of concern for the protection of wild animals, Li Kangping suggested that our American mahjong factory mainly produces bamboo mahjong.

Next, Master Huang was asked to teach the manufacturing process of bamboo mahjong.

After Master Huang's introduction, everyone learned about the process of bamboo mahjong in Panyu Mahjong Factory.

1. Processing with supplied materials. After the raw materials of bamboo arrive at the factory, workers use simple tools and equipment to process the bamboo into square mahjong rough blanks. It's almost a handmade process.

2. Finishing. Workers use techniques such as polishing and grinding to process mahjong rough blanks into mahjong fine blanks. This is also a purely handmade process.

3. Printing patterns. Workers use molds, fixtures and other equipment to emboss patterns on mahjong blanks. This should be regarded as the process link with the highest degree of automation and scientific and technological content in Panyu mahjong factory.

4. Coloring. Workers hold a pen to draw and color on the patterned mahjong, which is also a purely manual operation.

To sum up, the bamboo mahjong of Panyu mahjong factory basically relies on hand-made. The same is true for other mahjong factories in China.

Panyu mahjong factory has a total of ten workers, with a daily output of ten pairs of mahjong, that is, an average of people process a pair of mahjong products a day.

Li Kangping arranged for Master Huang to stay at the farmhouse, and when he returned to the Chenbian Street apartment with Li Chong and Liu Shaowen, he called Mr. Zhou and invited him to discuss the matter.
