…… If you look down from the sky, Newark on the other side of the Hudson River looks like an ugly moss, dotted with "matchboxes" crammed into a heap that stretches for dozens of kilometers. Since the economic crisis, a large number of New Yorkers have been repossessed by banks because they are bankrupt and unable to repay their loans, and Manhattan and Long Island are notoriously expensive and wealthy areas, so they have to move here in the end, relying on tin houses and tents to become the new urban "waste pickers".

Adults try their luck on the other side whenever they have free time, children drop out of school and help collect all the garbage and metal that can be sold to support the family, and women go to the countryside to pick wild fruits and mushroom lumps. This is the United States now, the United States that has lost its dreams, its future, and its colors, and everyone is at a loss, at a loss, and numb every day to fill their stomachs.

The second wave of the Red Ten Chapter 649 in the early morning, sweep people! The Word Club relief office was crowded with people, from adults who had lost their jobs to children who were lonely and holding their jobs. Many of them still don't understand why the prosperous and powerful United States has become so bad overnight, and even the inadvertent glance at Manhattan Island is unbearable pain.

Everyone is praying, dreaming of superheroes to solve the disaster!

But who else can save America now? Britain and France had fantasized about it, but their efforts to raise tariffs and close markets and rely on huge colonies to build pound and franc zones were more of a failure than to alleviate the crisis. Later, everyone fantasized about the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union wanted investment, not imports. However, China, which originally reported that it would actively bail out the market and threw out huge orders, was due to domestic disasters. Their president didn't come for a long time.

As for Japan and Germany, it is impossible to count on it. Their economic crisis is worse than that of the United States.

What to do? When they were complacent and always thought that they were the strongest in the world, the United States needed the help of their friends, and the Americans found that more than half of the world was actually still under the control of Britain and France, and they would not allow anyone in their control area to stand up and help the United States, even if they threw millions of orders to the United States, it would become Chapter 649 The second wave, sweeping people! Stingy!

But at the darkest moment, a bright light suddenly came out of Newport, dazzling and even exciting.

"$41.3 million sweeping order! Is this true? "The people in the queue were whispering, all talking about the big news that had exploded from Newport. Although the newspaper said that it was only a second-hand ship, which did not provide much economic stimulation, it could not stop everyone from continuing to imagine. If that person really brings billions of orders, will he be able to work again?

"God. I'm willing to do it for $10 a week! ”

"Do they need sailors?"

"Pete, if you want, you can immigrate to the Soviet Union, I heard that many people have applied to immigrate to the Soviet Union."

"The Soviet Union? No. I won't work for a dictatorship! ”

"Don't dream, those people fled from Russia after the war and are now just going home...... Huddled in the crowd with glasses, Lilianfeld, a diminutive engineer at the Foster Telephone Company. This used to be an enviable job, but because the boss was overburdened by the stock market crash, the company was seized by the bank and lost his job instantly. Originally, he was going to teach at the university, but thousands of students began to drop out during the Great Depression, and the school was willing to keep the best talent for self-preservation, and there was no hope for people like him.

Overnight, the gap from the middle class that everyone envies to abject poverty is unimaginable for ordinary people. Many of his colleagues divorced or committed suicide as a result. So he didn't say anything about the talk around him, and although he also wanted to get back to work, he always felt that China was too far away, and his wife and three children needed food instead of fantasy.

Lillianfeld slowly moved forward with the snail-like crowd, and was thinking about whether to try his luck in Washington after receiving this time, and when he was looking for a new job, he suddenly felt that he had been bumped, and when he looked around, he found that many people were leaning out and looking ahead. "What's wrong?" Lillianfeld asked the painter behind him, who pointed to the front and said in a surprised tone: "Look over there." ”

Lillianfeld hurriedly pointed in the direction and saw two black cars parked in front of him. Next to the car, several yellow people and two Americans, who looked like lawyers, were walking towards the procession. They seem to be looking for something, asking everyone in the queue without stopping.

"Hi buddy, do you think they will be Chinese? Maybe looking for a painter who brushed the boat. The big painter behind him was an optimist, but Lillianfeld shook his head. The brush boat painter is a joke.

But just as he was about to retract his neck and line up in peace, those people suddenly walked towards him. "Mr. Lillianfeld? Are you an engineer at Foster Lillian Feld? "They were all young men in their twenties. The speech was a little jerky, and he was dressed like the Chinese students who had flooded the campus before the disaster, and he seemed to be excited to find himself. This made Lillianfeld a little nervous, and asked, "I just, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Hello sir, don't be nervous, we are Chinese students from Pennsylvania State University, and this time we are here to represent our country's Global Communication Electronics Company, please be the company's electrical engineer." The Chinese students were so excited that they seemed to be able to find Lillianfeld, and they hurriedly pulled out a large pile of supporting materials from their bags and handed them to the lawyers next to them.

Both lawyers are authentic Americans, and they probably haven't met such a big client for a long time, so they are also very positive. After taking the document and turning to the key page, he handed it to Lillianfeld: "Mr. Lillianfeld, we are lawyers at a New York law firm, my name is Tony, and this is my colleague Chuck. The lawyer named Tony had documents in his hand explaining to him the authenticity and legal certification of Global Communications, as well as a labor permit issued by the U.S. government.

"Mr. Lillianfeld, we can prove that these Chinese friends are not joking, and they are indeed here to invite you. ”

"Rest assured, our company is willing to pay $400 a month to hire you as an electrical engineer." The young man was probably too eager to complete the task, and before Lillianfeld could speak, he offered the price. But maybe he didn't understand it himself. What $300 per month means! This number directly silenced the surrounding birds, and countless pairs of eyes instantly began to flicker with ghostly light.

"$400 a month? Please let me be an electrical engineer? "Lillianfeld is completely stupid. It's not that he doesn't believe in the other party, on the contrary, he is very trusting, because the New York law firm has a history of 70 years, and there is almost no one in the country who does not know about the fame. What really stumped him was the high salary of $400 a month! You know, even before the catastrophe, the average American doctor earned only about $2,000 a year, and a Model T car was $200.

At this price, that equates to $4,800 per year! God, the salary is more than two doctors!

No wonder there was the sound of inhalation everywhere. The big painter's eyes were about to fall out with envy, and he put his arm around Lillianfeld and introduced himself: "Hey, are you from China?" I'm the younger brother of Mr. Lillianfeld, and hehe's a paint engineer. Can I go with him? $50 a week, not $30. ”

"Haha...... The people around laughed, and the young man also knew that this guy was a "rubber", and shook his head politely: "I'm very sorry, if you are a chemical engineer and have three years of work experience, I can contribute 300 dollars a month." ”

The big man was certainly not a chemical engineer, but the eyes of some of the people next to him lit up. Shouted, "Hey, do you need a mechanical engineer?" ”

"I'm a biologist and I've been working in a pharmaceutical company for five years...... The jealous salary suddenly attracted hundreds of skilled onlookers, and the inquiries were endless. Lillianfeld was even more impressed. But there was one thing he couldn't figure out: "I'm sorry, I, I want to ask why?" There are many, many people who are better at technology than me. ”

The young man did not hide it either, nodding to Tony, who took out a power of attorney and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Lillianfeld. They take a fancy to your transistor patent, and as long as you sign a patent assignment contract, you can not only get a $1,000 royalty, but also a five-year job offer at the price you just paid for. Of course, both your wife and children can go to live in Shanghai. This is the admission letter of Shanghai Baohua High School. Your three children can study for free at this school. And you don't have to worry about education and language barriers, because half of the teachers at this high school are Americans. ”

The people around him were speechless, what was most important to those of them who had families? Wife, children! There are still many people who hesitate to abandon their wives for high wages and go to distant China and the Soviet Union. But now that people have directly arranged school and life, what else is there to worry about?

As for unrest? Oh, God. Is there anything more dangerous than the United States right now? Not to mention that China is not the Soviet Union, they were once allies of the United States, they are democracies.

Lillianfeld was even more surprised, because he didn't expect that the other party would want the useless transistor patent that was registered last year! Being honest, he didn't want the other party to suffer, so he spread his hand and said, "I'm sorry, maybe I should make it clear first." Not to mention you in this patent, even the United States cannot achieve industrialization because its requirements for purity and materials are too high! Even if I could fix it, the internal design was so flawed that it didn't match the current electronics at all. ”

"We know, that's why we asked you to go back and work on it together." The man smiled and spread out the contract: "Mr. Lillianfeld, do you want to go back and discuss it with your family?" Can use our car. ”

Since people are willing to buy garbage, Lillianfeld, who is in dire need of money, simply stopped talking and buried his head in the car.

When the car started, the people who inquired about the price just now suddenly remembered something, and chased after the car. $400 per month! Fuck, fight! "Hi, hi! Wait, I'll only need $300. The guy told me how to get in touch; Take a look at my design...... The faster and faster the car made many people stop in disappointment, and they regretted why they didn't promote themselves just now. Just when everyone was envious of Lillianfeld's good fortune and frustrated that they didn't take the opportunity, a bicycle rushed into the crowd, and before everyone could scold the daredevil, the guy had already climbed onto the water-filled gasoline drum and shouted, "Guys! Good news! Good news. ”

The daredevils jumped and shouted on the gasoline cans, and when the people had all gathered together, he pulled out a newspaper from behind his back, opened it to the sunlight, and shouted, "Look at this!" ”

The newspaper is the familiar New York Times, but when it was spread out, everyone gasped. Because everyone found that the front page of the usually serious and serious newspaper was actually occupied by a large advertisement, and there were no photos or beautiful women on the advertisement, only a line of huge black letters.

"We are from China and we need technicians! Engineers are needed! Teachers are needed! If you have faith in yourself, if you want your children to continue to study for free, if you want to take a hot bath every day, if you want to buy perfume and fashion for your wife. Well, there are 50,000 $2,000 annual job opportunities to choose from! ――

Starting from August 1, 5 cities across the United States will recruit at the same time, and the locations will ...... 10,000! Everyone's eyes straightened all at once...... rs！！！
