John was stunned for a moment, looked at the stranger outside, the stranger looked John up and down, and then took the initiative to greet John: "Hello, is this John's home, are you a hopy?" ”

"I am John, who are you? I don't seem to know you! John's expression was a little wary, and he looked at the stranger carefully, firmly blocking the doorway, refusing to relax.

It was none other than Harpy who came to him, Harpy has obvious Jewish characteristics, in the United States, the status of Jews is very high, maybe, he is a rich man, Harpy looks like he is more fashionable all over his body, and he looks like John is a different world.

"Mr. John, I'm here for you, won't you invite me in!" Harpy laughed: "I have no ill intentions, I have a chance for you!" ”

"Rude, please come in!" John let Harpy in, and said, in John's eyes, Harpy is a Jew, and a middle-aged man, he is very young, because he often exercises, tall and strong, there is no one in the corridor, this guy who is obviously a high-level person, will he take the initiative to let him into the room, maybe, it is really as he suffers, it is an opportunity.

Harpy walked into the room with his head held high, and looked at the room by the way, the room was not big, it looked like there was only one bedroom and one living room, this block should be the old neighborhood here, this one piece was relatively dilapidated, not a slum area, but it was almost the same, a dilapidated one-sided building, a bedroom and a living room were not big, just look at the messy layout inside, it can be seen that the place is very narrow. Even placed next to the wall, there are a couple of suitcases. Clothes or something are messy and thrown away.

Clearly, John's situation was not good. Coupled with some of the information that the staff had found out in the periphery before, Harpy had a bottom in his heart and said: "My name is Harpy, I am German, and I came to Mr. John this time to find you on the commission of Yang Yue." ”

Yang Yue, John was a little uncertain about the name, it seemed very unfamiliar, and Harpy was stunned for a moment. Didn't you say John? Is the caliph Yang Yue's best friend, after thinking about it carefully, he found out that he had more contact with Yang Yuanzhao, especially in China, and the name he recited was according to the Chinese grammar, in China, the word Yang Yue. The front is the surname, the back is the first name, and the United States is the opposite, laughing dumbly: "I was wrong." That's the reading of the Qing Kingdom, if it is according to the United States, it is Yue Yang! ”

"Yue Yang? Kate. It turned out to be him! Hearing Harpy's words, John's expression relaxed a lot. His tone slowed down, and he asked with some casual chat, "Kate is my old friend." How about it, I heard that he returned to the Qing Dynasty to inherit his huge family business, so he should be doing well. ”

John is one of the few classmates who know Yang Yue's situation, Yang Yue is very low-key in school, and even most of the time, he relies on work-study to live, but some utensils and habits still make John, who has a lot of dealings with him, see, especially after getting acquainted, Yang Yue did not hide him, John knows that Yang Yue is a big family with total assets of more than 10 million US dollars, such a family is very rare in the United States, and it is generally called a consortium.

Harpy nodded and said, "Yes, Yang Yue is doing well, the purpose of my visit this time is to invite you to work in Qingguo at Yang Yue's request." ”

"To work in Qingguo, no, no, no, my home is in the United States, and I will not go to Qingguo." John shook his head and said, life is not very satisfactory, I have not reached the Cheng dù who can't go on, even if he loses his job with a monthly salary of 35 US dollars, and then finds another job, but the salary is a little lower, he will not go to the Qing Kingdom, and his friendship with Yang Yue makes John have no bad impression of the Qing Kingdom, knowing that China is not all poor and backward places, and even has thousands of years of brilliant civilization, which is a beautiful place.

But such a place, which is thousands of miles away from the Pacific Ocean, never thought that going there to work, living here, and society would be completely out of touch.

John's choice, Harpy was not surprised, this is what he thought before, for any normal American, running thousands of miles away to work, is an unthinkable thing, let alone highly educated, he took out an envelope from his bag, handed it to John, and said: "I have a telegram from Yang Yue here, I think it will change after you read it!" ”

The reason why John was chosen as the first one, the first aspect, is his current situation, which is the worst among all Yang Yue's classmates, especially after Yang Yue knew John's situation, he sent a telegram through the remote telegram, out of politeness, Harpy did not read the content of the telegram, but believed that the telegram would definitely make John change his mind.

In fact, in Harpy's heart, there are still alternatives, with John's conditions, a certain amount of time, it is best to attract with a salary, Harpy, as a college graduate, is at least the standard of an engineer, and because of Yang Yue's relationship, it is definitely a temptation that cannot be refused, $200 to $250 a month.

John received this telegram with some hesitation, he read the telegram with a complicated expression, and had some thoughts in his heart that he didn't know how, in the letter, mainly Yang Yue's invitation, Yang Yue put his achievements in the farm and the institute these days, almost without reservation to John aside, to be honest, in that year, when the school, the two of them have always been the best in the class, and their interest in agriculture is also the greatest, after graduation, he reluctantly recruited a sales job for agricultural machinery, On the contrary, Yang Yue, who returned to the backward Qing Dynasty, was able to embark on a professional road in backward China, this road seems to be good now, I don't know if it is good, but this achievement is higher than him, maybe when Yang Yue has the results, he is still struggling at the bottom of the work.

Agricultural machinery companies seem to be related to agriculture, and their school majors are already far from the same.

For John, Qingguo is a strange place, and the reason why he hesitates is because in the envelope of the telegram, there is also a check for 2000 US dollars, the label of Citibank, so that as a salesperson, he can see at a glance that this is true, although he knows that Yang Yue has a big family business in Qingguo, but the huge amount of 2000 US dollars, which is equivalent to his salary for 5 years, is enough to make him tempted.

"Alright, I'm going to talk to my family!"

Harpy was secretly excited in his heart, the first one was achieved, or Yang Yue attached great importance to it, he didn't know, agriculture would be more important than industry, but he believed that Yang Yuanzhao's vision, according to the previous survey, John was the best among his classmates, as long as he arrived in China, he could become Yang Yue's help.

Harpy's wait was not long, and soon he received a letter from John, in which he promised to go to Qingguo, with a special mention of his wife, whom he expected to accompany him.

On the investigation report, there is information about John's family affairs, John's wife, not a Yale graduate, she graduated from Ohio University, majoring in electrical engineering, few women study this major, but she is one of them, in terms of employment, she is even better than John, as early as more than a year ago, she has obtained the qualification of electrical engineer, and currently works in the logistics department of Yale University, with a monthly salary of 50 US dollars.

Such talents, even if Harpy recruited before, there are few such professionals, electricity, as the focus of the future, is also a problem that Yang Yuanzhao needs to solve, before leaving China, when he went to Baotou, Yang Yuanzhao once mentioned the vision of electricity, but this time the main direction is the chemical industry, electricity, not too much involvement.

Professionals, Germany and the United States have always attached more importance to it, and Harpy quickly replied that at present, John's salary is tentatively set at $250, and as for John's wife Judy, it is tentatively set at $200.

Two people teamed up to win 450 US dollars, which was in the United States in 1908, but a huge amount of money, you must know that in this era, many engineers and scientists, often for a few hundred dollars a month of test costs and tired, many projects are difficult to give birth because of insufficient investment, as two young couples who went into society and have a child, such treatment is definitely enough to be satisfied.

John and Judy quickly agreed to sign a contract, they will finish their work within half a month, go to San Francisco, and meet Harpy, their children will also be formed with them, although the child's grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents also want to raise children, but stubborn Judy still feels that she wants to take the child away, in her opinion, there is nothing warmer than the parenting of her parents.

Recruiting John is equivalent to this task, half of the task is completed at once, Yang Yuanzhao asked for 2, the next 20 families, in Harpy's opinion, it is possible to agree, at least four or five, in this way, the agriculturist will recruit 4-5, which can be regarded as exceeding the scheduled task.

Next, Harpy began to shoot quickly, similar things, almost staged in more than 20 families, including 5 professional agricultural personnel, accepted Harpy's invitation, for this, Harpy only paid less than $5,000, for John is a special case, and suddenly gave a $2,000 settling-in fee, including Yang Yue's novelty, which needs to be taken care of, and the others, after paying a check of $500 to solve the actual problems of the family, are all convinced, $500, In this era, the United States has huge purchasing power, and these families only thought about it a little and agreed, and this kind of spending, which is almost a drop in the bucket when they have huge wealth, is not a problem if they can solve problems with money.
