cap 32
"But our boss has some conditions. I'm still thinking about how to recruit people.”
Wang Shuming shrugged helplessly.
"Oh! Oh my god, King, I told you, it's too easy to recruit people now. What do you think of me? Although I graduated from the economics department, I know other things.”
Morris looked at Wang Shuming enthusiastically. It was difficult to find a job now, and it was even harder to survive. Therefore, he finally revealed his motive. Well, for the sake of being classmates, just recruit me!
Wang Shuming looked at Morris helplessly."Morris, aren't you going to ask about our boss 'conditions?”
"Oh! Damn it! Now, as long as I can survive, I'll have to take that damn Chicago printer to the streets to fight. Even if you want me to poke the sewers, I'm willing.”
Survival had changed everyone. Perhaps in the past, he would not be willing to do these things because he was a top student who graduated from Colombia University, but now, in order to survive, he was willing to even poke the sewers.
"Alright! Morris, I think you should ask. Our boss's condition is to recruit people to work for us. I'm going to work in China!"
Wang Shuming looked at Morris.
"Go to China to work?"
Morris was dumbfounded. After a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and looked at Wang Shuming."Sure! As long as I can survive, I can even work in China.”
Twenty-six million people were unemployed. That was a huge number, and 140,000 companies had closed down. This made it difficult for people to find a job. Therefore, in order to survive, Morris also gave it his all.
Wang Shuming looked at Morris 'appearance and couldn't help but frown. He looked at the streets outside with many people carrying suitcases and walking around. At the same time, many people were reading newspapers as if they were looking for something. He understood.
The economic crisis in the United States was more difficult than he had imagined, and employment had become an even more difficult thing. Otherwise, Morris would not have made such a decision in just a few seconds.
"Welcome! I believe you won't regret your choice!”
Wang Shuming lit a cigarette and said to Morris.
"Haha! Regret? Now, I just want to live. It's enough as long as I can eat my fill every day!”
Morris revealed a bitter smile on his face. He believed that those who had not experienced it before would not understand the pain.
"Right! How are our former classmates doing now?”
Wang Shuming asked Morris.
"Them? Some of them are doing well. At least they aren't like me who can't even eat. Some of them are even worse off than me.”
Wang Shuming shrugged helplessly. But before that, I think we should go somewhere first!”
..............
In 1848, a group of Chinese couples brought their sons to New York, starting the history of Chinese immigration to the United States.
By 1851, the Chinese population in New York had reached 25,000. By 1890, the number of Chinese in New York had reached 80,000. From then on, New York's Chinatown was officially formed.
Now, in 1933, New York's Chinatown had a population of about 140,000 Chinese, making it the largest Chinatown after the old Jincheng.
In 1880, the US had an economic crisis. The white people were unwilling to do the dirty work. On the contrary, the Chinese were willing. Therefore, the white people accused the Chinese of stealing their jobs. Thus, the notorious Chinese Exclusion Act was formed.
In 1929, the economic crisis that swept the world began in the United States. A large number of white people lost their jobs and their companies closed down. In order to alleviate the unemployed, the US government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, forcing those companies to dismiss all Chinese jobs and arrange for white people to work.
Therefore, from 1930 onwards, the Chinese in New York were once again ostracized by the US government and became a group of people whose lives became increasingly difficult. However, many Chinese had the habit of saving money. Coupled with the mutual support between Chinese, the Chinese could barely survive.
However, the once bustling Chinatown was now a little deserted. Some old men carried a small stool and sat on the street to look around.
Wang Shuming and Morris walked into Chinatown under such circumstances.
Morris had been taken by Wang Shuming to get a haircut and change into clean clothes. At the same time, he was also taken care of so that he didn't look so sloppy.
"In the past, this was a bustling street, but now it has become desolate. I heard that this was done by the US government?”
Wang Shuming looked at the bleak street and whispered.
"Who knows what those b * stards are doing? Perhaps they were doing it for their poor self-esteem?”
Morris did not have a good impression of the government. It had been four years since the economic crisis broke out, but the government still had not taken any substantial action. Although the new president was preparing to issue new policies, it was an indisputable fact that the economy was still declining.
"Grandpa, I want to ask, do you know a young man called Chen Ming? He graduated from Colombia University.”
Wang Shuming walked up to an old man and smiled.
"Your voice? Are you from China?"
The old man had come to America when he was in his teens and had stayed in America for more than 40 years. Now that he suddenly heard this accent, he felt that it should be someone from China.
"That's right! I just returned to America a while ago."
Wang Shuming said with a smile.
"What are you doing here? We can't live here anymore!”
The grandpa said in confusion.
"Haha! It's like this. My boss is here to recruit people to work in China. Now our boss is starting a company, but he is very short of people. Isn't it because he thinks that our compatriots are having a hard time overseas? You sent me here."
Wang Shuming said with a smile.
"Are you here to recruit people? Go back to China to work?"
The grandpa said in disbelief.
"That's right! Go back to work in the country!"
"You didn't lie to an old man like me?”
"Grandpa, look at what you're saying. I can lie to anyone but you! If my teacher finds out that I lied to an old man, he'll beat me to death!”
"Who do you want to recruit? Among those who lost their jobs, there were people who did all kinds of things. Many of our children went to college. Wait a minute, I'll inform them immediately and let you choose slowly!”
The old man seemed very excited. He didn't even want to go to the bench and ran to the door to shout.
