Chapter 481 Seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day
Zhou Hualiang is the second generation to come to America. He learned Cantonese and Mandarin from his father before. Because there is no language environment, he doesn't speak very well. Sample.
But since being selected to become the general manager of Tanglin Hi-Tech America Company, Zhou Hualiang's Mandarin proficiency has improved by leaps and bounds. In fact, the US dollar is the biggest driving force.
As the second generation of immigrants to America, after entering the workplace, Zhou Hualiang can clearly feel how high the workplace ceiling is above his head!
In those large companies in America, there are many Chinese and Chinese faces, but most of them are concentrated in technical positions. There are very few Chinese faces in management, especially senior manager positions.
Zhou Hualiang knew that if the Tanglin Hi-Tech he joined was not founded by Chinese people, then if he wanted to become the general manager, not to mention the difficulties, he would probably not have any hope in this life anyway.
This is the case in the company. As for the city councilors, state capitals, and Capitol Hill in America, Chinese faces are even less visible. The ceilings are clearly set up. These positions and positions will never be allowed to be held by Chinese Americans. But the odds are about the same as winning the lottery.
“Manager Yao!”
After speaking to Li Dongling, Zhou Hualiang shouted to Yao Luoying. Zhou Hualiang is not only the general manager of Dongling Hi-Tech in America, but also the general manager of Feiyan Technology in America. Lijia's business was also managed by him.
Looking at Zhou Hualiang, Li Dongling patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work here in America!"
Zhou Hualiang, who was patted on the shoulder by Li Dongling, couldn't help but feel a wave of turmoil in his heart. Considering Li Dongling's age and the current scale of Dongling High-tech, if Li Dongling was placed in America, he would definitely be praised as the second Bill Gates. kind of characters.
Look at the current net worth of Microsoft veterans. Needless to say the founders, even the earliest professional managers who joined Microsoft, such as Ballmer, have seen their net worth skyrocket. Their net worth has long exceeded Billions of dollars.
Zhou Hualiang doesn’t expect to become Ballmer or anything like that, but if in the future, Tanglin Hi-Tech has a chance to climb to where Microsoft is today, then Zhou Hualiang, as one of the managers of Tanglin Hi-Tech , the value will also skyrocket!
“These are what I should do!”
“Mr. Li and Manager Yao, their accommodation has been arranged!” Zhou Hualiang said to Li Dongling and Yao Luoying.
Then everyone got in the car and rushed to a high-end villa area in New York. This time Li Dongling came to New York and wanted to stay in the villa area so that he could discuss some things confidentially.
“Remember the last time we came here, no one would have thought that we could win the lawsuit against Microsoft!”
Through the car window, looking out at the New York City area, Li Dongling He said to Yao Luoying on the side, with a hint of sadness in his words.
It’s still the same scenery. The urban construction of New York has basically been finalized. There won’t be much change in the next few decades. Not only New York, but also the urban construction of other American cities has been finalized. .
But Li Dongling’s mood when he saw New York was completely different from the last time he came. The last time he came, Dongling Hi-Tech was just established and faced the risk of collapse at any time. He came to New York in search of a glimmer of hope. At that time, I felt somewhat uneasy and confused.
This time, New York is for the listing of Feiyan Technology. New York is still the same New York, but different people have completely different moods when they see it. What some people see is its revelry.
Some people have also seen that although New York is big, it is not easy to live in. It is possible to arrive with high ambitions, and finally leave in despair, or even become a homeless person on the street!
“But Dongling Hi-Tech won, didn’t it?!” Yao Luoying took Li Dongling’s hand.
Li Dongling laughed, turned to Yao Luoying and said, "I don't know how many people still remember Dongling High-tech, but I think people here will one day remember Dongling High-tech. !”
The car drove all the way into the villa area. This time Zhou Hualiang rented several villas at once for the team members who came to America to live.
As soon as he came in, Yang Zhigao started to arrange security with several bodyguards and security personnel from Dongling Hi-Tech.
The bodyguards hired by Zhou Hualiang were placed on the periphery and were responsible for the safety of other members of the team. The safety of Li Dongling and Yao Luoying was mainly responsible for the safety of Yang Zhigao.
This is not because he does not trust Zhou Hualiang. After all, he is not in his own territory. Yang Zhigao still follows the cautious and error-free mentality and is unwilling to take risks, lest he capsizes in the gutter. When the time comes, he may not have a chance to regret it.
“This villa is equipped with a swimming pool, screening room, sauna, gym, wine cellar, and vehicles. I hired a team led by a Cantonese chef to be responsible for Mr. Li’s meals during this period. , if it doesn’t suit your taste, you can also invite a team of Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and other chefs to come over.”
Entering the villa, Zhou Hualiang said to Li Dongling, Zhou Hualiang had put a lot of thought into welcoming Li Dongling’s arrival this time! of.
After looking at the villa for a few times, Li Dongling nodded. If nothing else, America is regarded as a paradise on earth by many people, whether it is luxury goods, sports cars, yachts, villas, Hollywood actresses and other lavish lives and hedonistic facilities. , can be counted all over the world.
Of course, the premise is that you have enough dollars to squander, and the squandering time is long enough, otherwise, you may not be able to go to slum communities, and you will be criticized for being slow in washing dishes!
......
"This is New York!" "What a big villa, this is a Spanish-style villa, it must be thousands of square meters!"
"Not only that, there is a basement below, as well as a wine cellar and a garage!"
This time, Xu Yansheng, who is the technical leader of the Feiyan Technology Himalayan Radio project, and several other team members were assigned to this set Villa living.
When Xu Yansheng opened the door of the villa, he saw the luxuriously decorated villa in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed to a few people.
Although he had made some psychological predictions about the extravagance of villas here in New York, when he saw that moment, Xu Yansheng could not help but be surprised. The decoration and style of the current villas in China are not as good as before. This kind of toilet makes people want to pretend to be a golden toilet, so people like Xu Yansheng who see it for the first time are naturally a little surprised.
“This is a wealthy area in New York. If you want to buy a villa like this, you must pay house taxes, insurance, security and other expenses every year. Your net worth must be at least tens of millions of dollars, and your annual income must be in the tens, or even More than a million dollars!
Only when you have been to Harlem, New York's Chinatown, and other ghetto communities can you see the real New York! ”
The speaker was Liu Gang, who was in charge of the legal affairs of Feiyan Technology’s listing. Gang Liu previously worked in the Secretariat of the Domestic Bureau of Justice and was responsible for writing daily reports for several directors of the Bureau of Justice. After working for more than a year, he no longer Willing to continue the boring content day after day, he gave up his identity as a secretariat and became a lawyer in a local unit.
If he had not left the secretariat, Liu Gang would have been the same person in the secretariat. He was expected to be promoted in 2016, and after more than a year of training in a local unit, he originally had the opportunity to be transferred back to the Justice Bureau, but Gang Liu continued to work as a lawyer, and he was an alternative lawyer who specialized in helping people litigate and collect debts...
More than ten years ago, triangular debt was rampant in China, and it was the uncle who owed money. But Liu Gang not only helped the company to collect debts, he also helped those who were owed money, and he lived a crowded life for two days and two nights. Hard seats on trains, sleeping in Datong shops for one dollar a night, chasing after debtors, and being beaten up and beaten by debtors' thugs are all commonplace, but Liu Gang survived them all and his record was quite good.
< br>Six or seven years ago, the Justice Bureau and the bar associations in America, England and other places jointly launched an exchange program, and Gang Liu was sent to New York
At the New York Bar Association, Gang Liu's internship was related to Wall Street legal affairs, as well as legal affairs related to listing. This is also the legal affairs of Feiyan Technology. The reason why Liu Gang was invited here this time was to let him handle the legal issues of Feiyan Technology's listing.
Lawyers are a profession that allows them to come into contact with all walks of life. They can see both the glamorous and the less glamorous sides of a city.
With his career as a lawyer in China and his experience in New York, Liu Gang never looks at a city at its surface. His understanding of New York is much deeper than that of Xu Yansheng and the others.
"The TV series about Yanjing people in New York was filmed here, right?"
Hearing Liu Gang's words, another person who was assigned to live in this villa said.
This TV series shows the Manhattan skyline, row upon row of skyscrapers, the glittering Times Square, and the viaducts that crisscross the city. New York, where cars are the main means of transportation, is presented to the Chinese people.
It "opened the country's eyes" to life abroad for the first time and attracted the envy of countless people. However, decades later, those who were influenced by this TV series bought houses next to viaducts and railways, thinking that they would be able to travel Convenient people, facing the roar of cars and trains at night, it’s not clear whether they would curse or not...
The most famous sentence of this drama applies to New York and Yanjing. , Shanghai, Pengcheng, Hong Kong City, London, major cities around the world. If you love someone, send him to New York, because this is heaven; if you hate someone, send him here, because this is hell.
The origin of the idea that you can get rich by washing dishes comes from this TV series. After the male protagonist failed in his career in New York, he made a comeback by washing dishes and chopping onions in a restaurant. Everyone who watched the TV series was born in Washing dishes in New York, you can make a lot of money and buy a house or a car.
Thus, the era of hundreds of thousands of people coming to America to wash dishes every year began!
Hearing Liu Gang's words, and then thinking of the TV series he had watched, and the luxurious villa in front of him, Xu Yansheng, who had just arrived in New York, felt a little unreal for a while, wondering what the real face of New York was!
......
After a long journey, Yao Luoying went upstairs, and others also arrived at several other villas to rest. Li Dongling looked at Zhou Hualiang, who was still waiting respectfully in the villa, and said to He waved his hand and said, "Sit down!"
"There are some differences between China and America, but there are not as many rules as you think!"
Hearing Li Dongling's words, Zhou Hualiang's face changed. He showed a somewhat embarrassed smile. He was so reserved because he was afraid of offending the big sponsor. His current salary was not low, and he also provided a house in a high-end community. He didn't want to lose his white-collar job as a senior manager. .
"Donngling Hi-Tech America Company's revenue has been quite good in recent years, and it cannot be separated from your contribution!"
