Most of the Chinese restaurants in these years are concentrated in the vicinity of Chinatown, which is not far from Wall Street, but most of the people living in the neighborhood are low-income people.

When Locke entered the Chinese restaurant, he saw a Latino woman with two four-year-old children and a baby in her arms, trying to use the baby shopping voucher to offset the bill.

The owner of the restaurant did not refuse, this kind of shopping coupons are officially issued, according to the regulations, they can only be used to buy baby products, but in fact, most of the merchants will turn a blind eye to other products or pay bills with them.

This is also the way for some low-level people in the United States to survive, as long as they have three or four children, they can easily get thousands of dollars in relief, as well as a lot of baby shopping coupons.

Relying on this benefit, some parents even choose to lie down instead of continuing to work hard.

Hundreds of billions of various relief funds are spent on this every year, which is also one of the important reasons why the black population of the United States will continue to expand and increase in the future.

After choosing a spot, the waiter puts the menu on the table and waits for Locke to order.

He skillfully switched to Chinese: "Let's have a kung pao chicken, and mapo tofu is also on it, my friend can't eat spicy, put less spicy, and another bowl of haggis soup, don't give me improved dishes, want authentic Chinese food." ”

In the end, the matter of food is really a bit subjective, and the Chinese food that can be popular around the world has actually undergone a certain degree of improvement to adapt to the tastes of the locals.

One side of the water and soil to raise the other side of the people, food is a very subjective thing, Locke has even heard that people in some countries in Africa and Southeast Asia will even regard bananas as a staple food.

It's as if the rice country prefers sweet, so the sweetness in the dishes is significantly improved, and Locke said this to avoid trying improved dishes that he thought tasted weird.

Speaking of which, Tang Wei discovered this restaurant, and the Chinese food cooked by the chef tasted very good, especially the haggis soup that had just been served.

Watching Locke drink haggis soup with relish, Tang Wei couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Speaking of which, you really don't look like a rice countryman, at least I haven't seen a rice country person who still likes to eat haggis." ”

"Maybe I was an Easterner in my last life." Locke shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

Because of the different eating habits, almost no one wants to eat pigs, chicken feet, and pig trotters in the rice country, and they are all thrown away directly when they are slaughtered.

I heard that some businessmen later found a way to sell these things directly to Asia and made a profit, but unfortunately the people of the eastern country are not rich enough now, and it is impossible to say what the business will be.

The second dish that the boss came up with was mapo tofu, Tang Wei was not used to eating spicy, so he kept inhaling after two bites, fanning the wind with his hands, and saying in his mouth: "It's so spicy!" ”

"Eat more rice, I've asked the kitchen to put less chili peppers, but if you really don't put it at all, it won't taste like that." Locke said and took a bite of the newly arrived Kung Pao chicken and put it in Tang Wei's bowl.

……

After eating, taking advantage of the fact that there were not many guests, Locke chatted with the boss for a while, and then realized that the boss was still the chef of the restaurant.

The boss also talked about his ten-year-old daughter, saying that she was very competitive, very good at mathematics, and successfully transferred to a private school, and said that if possible, she would be allowed to study economics related majors in the future.

Economics-related majors are extremely popular in the United States, and like lawyers and doctors who represent the middle class, they make a lot of money and have a lot of face when they speak out.

It's a pity that she is Chinese and still a girl, and Locke estimates that even if she is admitted to a top university in the future, her development will be limited.

Of course, even if you just become a middle manager in a large company, you have a better future than a restaurant.

Most of the Chinese in the United States have an average life, and their social status is not high, and they are severely restricted.

Some of the better ones can only open Chinese restaurants, laundries, and printing shops, and in contrast, if they can become the middle management of large companies, they will have a higher income from both faces.

For the boss's expectations, Locke said two obedient words, more and more Chinese have come to the United States in the past two years, and even the original Chinese will squeeze the new Chinese immigrants who have come to the United States in recent years.

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon among all ethnic groups in the world.

Seeing that Locke likes to eat authentic Chinese food, Tang Wei said casually: "Actually, my cooking tastes good, but it's a pity that the conditions of the apartment are not suitable for Chinese food with a lot of smoke." ”

"If you want to be free, you can only go to the suburbs." Locke said, "Speaking of which, I bought a single-family villa in Belvedere, and I have time to go over with me and try your handiwork." ”

"No problem, our ancestors are chefs, I have learned a lot since I was a child, I promise you to swallow your tongue." Tang Wei is full of confidence.

Not long after eating at noon, Tang Wei received a phone call, and the two of them drove back to the consulting company.

In the salesman's view, Locke's willingness to take on a million-dollar debt for a financial license is completely unjust.

This license is very difficult for financial companies outside the United States to apply, but Wall Street domestic companies, even if they are of average scale, as long as the procedures are complete, basically have this kind of financial license.

And the competition on Wall Street is fierce, and even if it's not the time of the stock market crash, companies go bankrupt from time to time.

Nowadays, the overall market of the financial industry is average, and the shadow caused by the big stock market crash a few years ago still remains, causing many investors to be reluctant to take out their money to invest, and now Wall Street as a whole is in a shortage of money.

Instead of going to a consulting firm immediately, Locke first found an accounting firm to make an appointment for service.

After all, it is impossible for Locke to fully trust the information provided by the consulting company, and he must conduct relevant audits before signing the contract or even in the early stage after the company arrives.

After leaving the accounting company, I met with Robert of the consulting company again, and this time the other party took out the information of the three selected companies, each of which had the latest relevant information and developments:

"Most fund companies have not had a good time in recent years, and the stock market crash a few years ago almost wiped out these companies, so it has also caused mainstream investors to feel uneasy.

However, there are also a few guys who have not invested money in the stock market to barely get by, and there are a lot of people who invest before the stock market crash, and they rely on charging management fees and commissions to make money, which is a business without capital.

This is the three companies that we help you pick out the most suitable, you take a look first, if you are not satisfied, give me some time, you can definitely find the right one, the price will definitely satisfy you. ”

Locke nodded, according to his requirements, in addition to having a complete license, it is best to have a ready-made office space and a small number of employees who are smart and capable enough.

In fact, in the past few years after the stock market crash, the overall industry has been sluggish, and various related companies have either gone bankrupt or are downsizing employees, and unemployed people with various certificates are everywhere.

If the ability is not strong enough, it is impossible to survive in the industry now.

In fact, Locke Lane Fund Company, firstly, is to manage the assets under its own name more conveniently, and secondly, it is to raise funds and use other people's funds to make money.

He quickly looked through the information of these three companies and became interested in one of them: "This fund company not only does not have any liabilities, but also still manages $7 million in assets, especially when the market is about to turn around, why is it going to be sold?" ”
