"Oh, what are you going to do?"

"Sir, I need to ask for your help. You can hire me, I have learned some Chinese, I can be a translator for your entourage, and I have no problem guiding you in the United States, of course I still have some friends who may be able to help you! Or I'll sell you the oil fields and refineries! ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Smith, how much is your oil field still worth?" ”

Smith smiled bitterly and said: "It was originally worth 500,000 yuan, and no one necessarily sold it, and now I don't know if it's worth 10,000 US dollars, and when I went to the United States, no one even bought 10,000 US dollars." ”

There is a lot of long-term investment in the United States right now, and it is not just oil fields. If you employ someone, there is no need to accept his inheritance, and if you keep his inheritance, you can reap his sincere friendship.

"Smith, if you can trust me, don't sell the property. I'm optimistic about the future of America, and I'll help you get through these years. ”

"Sir, are you going to hire me?"

"Smith. We don't know each other well and need time to get to know each other. You do things like translation and guidance first, and I pay you $5 a day for half a year. Half a year later, whether you do it yourself or choose to develop a career with me, at that time I also understand your ability to allow you to play to your strengths. What do you think? ”

"Thank you, sir!"

I asked the waiter to bring pen and paper and write a simple contract. People can't be idle, so there is another Smith teacher, Smith's eloquence is good, and he talks about the human geography and customs of the United States very interestingly, especially Xiaoya and Tie Dan have a good impression of Smith! As Smith learned, he and Xiaoya's mother and daughter became fluent and pure in American English, and others were able to do simple conversations, but the best was Tie Dan, and children's rote memory skills were stronger than adults.

It was noon when I saw the American coastline, and I didn't feel hazy, but I felt regretful.

Although the U.S. customs administration in this era was not so strict, with Smith, the indigenous leading party, it was even smoother! Ask Smith if he wants to see Los Angeles? Smith shook his head and said that only the apartment had not been sold, and the family was not there, so there was no point in going back.

After two or three days of repair, Smith took everyone on a tour of this beautiful coastal mountain town. Check out San Francisco and Chinatown. At the entrance of Chinatown, there is also a "green glazed tile archway with three rooms and four pillars and three floors", and the middle plaque is Sun Yat-sen's "The world is for the public", the left is "Peace and Righteousness", and the right is "Love, Benevolence, Filial Piety, and Loyalty". Entering the archway is almost the same as entering the Chinese city, the eaves are painted on the wall, and the Qionglou Yuyu is the same; Chinese speaking dialects from all over the country are bustling, with signboards with Chinese characters layered on top of each other. There are still many Chinese in the south, and Han Ping and a few Fujianese have found their fellow countrymen.

The Golden Gate Bridge is still a construction site, so go to Fisherman's Wharf to overlook the scenery, taste seafood, and watch street performances; Go to the Nine-Folded Flower Street to see the nine-curved eighteen bends ....... Of course, there were Americans who came to the city with their families fleeing, looking for employment opportunities everywhere and the long queues waiting to receive relief food.

Thinking of recruiting a few Chinese as helpers, no one was willing! Most Chinese are not willing to take risks when they have comfort!

Got on the train heading east. I was also full of curiosity about the new world outside the window, as if I had entered another world. Rugged mountains, flat canyons, colorful rocks, dry deserts...... The sight outside the car window is dizzying. Then there are prairies, dense forests, and the beautiful world can't be endless, which makes everyone aesthetically tired! It is regrettable that there have been no train robberies. The train passes through the Appalachian Mountains, where Smith says the wind is Atlantic, and he doesn't feel any different from the wind elsewhere.

However, the population outside the car is getting denser and denser, and the prosperity of the east is not comparable to that of the west. New York is even more impressive. Now New York has a population of more than 10 million, becoming the world's first megacity, with the world's tallest skyscraper, the Empire State Building, which is already an architectural marvel of this era. Even the global economic crisis was triggered from one of the streets here: Wall Street. In October 1929, Wall Street's stock market plummeted, losing $10 billion in three days, far exceeding the currency circulating in the market, causing an economic panic, and the knock-on effect of the stock market crash affected the whole world, and also brought the shadow of the "Great Depression" to the United States, which ravaged the already less wealthy civilians, and the impact of the city can be seen.

I finally arrived in New York at the end of April, and it was already afternoon when I got off the bus. When I got out of the station, I saw Woody holding a big sign, warmly hugging and greeting, and introducing everyone, Woody was surprised that so many people came, and there were 7 taxis. First to the accommodation to release the ceremony, 3 apartments are not enough, arranged 10 people to live in the hotel. Asked about the lack of Mr. Isaac Kozak.

Woody said, "Mr. Lee, that guy is crazy! I can't get out of the money hole. I can only come back at night, and I don't want to make money! It's a waste of time to connect you! ”

"Haha, how's Woody doing?"

"I'm relaxed, I should come to the United States later, come out in the United States to collect a little information, and do nothing!"

"It's okay, time won't be wasted, you're going to be busy!"

"That's good! Don't be afraid to be busy! ”

At the beginning of the day, Kozak returned with his butler. People will be so thin, but they are energetic, their personalities are cheerful, and they look energetic! Sorry for not picking up the station first. Let's not talk about it, eat first!

Sitting in the study of Kozak's apartment, drinking the coffee made by Kozak's butler with Woody, they looked at each other very happily.

Kozak said: "Mr. Li, your judgment of the silver situation is very correct; The 'London Silver Agreement' introduced in July last year did not cause any major waves, I originally did not agree with your judgment, probably left the industry for too long, lack of sensitivity, now the situation is completely different, I came to the United States to carefully study the situation related to silver, the silver group in the United States threatened their president, prevent a bill from passing, the pressure is too great, they are about to win!

The investment company has been registered, and you are required to sign the relevant documents to complete the company procedures.

When I bought silver in large quantities, the price was $0.32 per ounce, and now it's about $0.45 per ounce. I exchanged the 15,000 pounds I brought for $120,000, plus the $500,000 you remitted, and used $580,000 to find a bank to match the funds five times, and bought almost 10 million ounces of silver. If you sell it now, you will make nearly $1 million, and the net balance will be more than $450,000. I bought four-month futures, and it is no problem that we have a net profit of more than $1 million by the expected expiration. ”

"Mr. Kozak has worked hard, I heard Woody say that you don't pay much attention to your body, if something goes wrong with the two of you, it will hit me too hard! Now there are many long-term investment opportunities in the United States, and the price of the industry is extremely low, so Mr. Kozak does not need to be in a hurry, and a chance speculation is just to add weight to our business! There will also be a year of investment opportunities in silver, and Mr. Kozak does not need to work hard. ”

"Mr. Li, I'll pay attention, it's just the inertia of the stage, and it will be fine after a while!"

"Woody, how's your situation there?"

"The trading company has been registered, and you are also required to sign the relevant documents to complete the company procedures. Business intelligence: I'll explain when you have time to look at it. ”

"Good! I came here this time mainly to build a pharmaceutical and chemical plant, and it was also the first factory to invest in the name of an investment company. In addition, we have perfected Woody's trading company; third, we have to take in a group of talented people because the unemployment rate in the United States is still high; fourth, we must buy bankrupt small arsenal equipment and acquire a gun factory; and fifth, we will study with Mr. Kozak the acquisition of some promising enterprise stocks.

Let's take a break today, and we'll continue the discussion tomorrow. ”
