Gao Jianwu did not expect to have such an experience of meeting an overseas boss by chance, and the two parties had a very pleasant conversation. They even solved some practical problems with Gao Jianwu, which also opened up space for future expansion of the American market.
You must know that in this era, Mr. Situ is the real number one overseas Chinese leader. For ordinary people, it is difficult to meet him. Unexpectedly, the two parties would have a chance to meet this time.
As a leader in business in the Americas for decades, Mr. Szeto's influence among overseas Chinese is currently unparalleled.
Moreover, Mr. Situ's influence is not only among overseas Chinese, but also has deep roots in American political circles. This made Gao Jianwu's originally very difficult things suddenly become easier.
Through Mr. Situ's relationship, purchasing large quantities of electronic components is no longer a problem at all.
And the network of relationships that touches all aspects of the Americas can assemble the engineers Gao Jianwu wants from beginning to end. These tasks were originally a headache for Gao Jianwu.
Soon Gao Jianwu finished his work in Los Angeles and flew to New York County.
...
A nondescript apartment in New York.
"Fake! Today I will either take money or use your wife as compensation. There is no other way for you to choose." Gao Jianwu, who came to visit, heard a strong man with an Irish accent threatening him from a distance. .
"If there is a situation, be careful, Iron Hammer. Your opponent may have a gun in his hand." Gao Jianwu suddenly had some bad thoughts and ordered Song Tiecheng and others who were following him.
Song Tiecheng glanced at Wu Zhiyuan and the others, and took a quick look at the place. The only entrance and exit in the long corridor was theirs.
Wu Zhiyuan and Wu Cheng drew their guns and walked in front, alternately rushing towards the place where the sound had just been made. Song Tiecheng blocked Gao Jianwu's figure and walked forward quickly with Zhao Xin.
Wu Zhiyuan and Wu Cheng walked to room 505, and as expected, the noise came from here. Without saying a word, the two of them ducked in and coldly accused the two arrogant white-skinned men inside with their guns.
They came unexpectedly, startling the two strong white-skinned men inside who were asking for debt, but they quickly reacted and shouted at a shivering Chinese man inside: "Fake Oil! Lin, you Did this trash actually ask the Huaxia Gang to pay for you? Let me tell you, no way, my Irish Gang is not a vegetarian!"
Wu Zhiyuan and Wu Cheng couldn't understand what he was saying and didn't speak, so they pointed guns at them and waited for Gao Jianwu and the others to arrive.
The Chinese man inside protected his wife tightly and stammered to the white-skinned man: "No, no, no, Frank, I don't know these two people, and I didn't call them here."
After saying that, he looked at Frank, then at Wu Zhiyuan and the others, and his face was almost sweating.
Gao Jianwu then walked into the house, and after just a glance at the two white-skinned strong men who were glaring at each other and a trembling Chinese couple, and what he had just heard, Gao Jianwu roughly understood the reason.
This is a loan shark coming to demand debt.
"Hey boy, I don't care what kind of gang you are, this ends today! How much do they owe you?" Gao Jianwu said.
"Why are you willing to pay back 500 U.S. dollars for them?" The strong white-skinned man was not too afraid of Wu Zhiyuan's guns and said to Gao Jianwu arrogantly.
"Mr. Lin, are there so many?" Gao Jianwu ignored the white-skinned man and turned to ask Lin Suhuan, the owner of this apartment.
Lin Suhuan looked at Gao Jianwu and others, convinced that he really didn't know any of them, and involuntarily took his wife and took a step back.
"The principal...the principal is not that much. A year ago, I only borrowed 200 US dollars, and I paid back more than 100 US dollars in interest." Lin Suhuan stammered.
"That's your overdue late fee!" The white-skinned man said coldly to Lin Suhuan.
After listening to what the two said, Gao Jianwu finally understood.
"In that case, sir, we don't want to embarrass you. How about I give you $300 to settle this matter?"
The interest rate is 300 US dollars in one year. This loan shark interest rate is completely beyond the normal level.
However, when Gao Jianwu saw that the white-skinned man opposite him was not a good person, he hoped to spend some money to settle the matter and offered 50% interest, which showed Gao Jianwu's sincerity.
"Bah! No way, I'm an Irish gangster, I'll tell you the truth at once. Boy, don't look at your arrogance now, let's wait and see!" The white-skinned man spat on the ground and said fiercely, then turned to face his accomplices. , "Jack, let's go!"
Completely ignoring the guy in Wu Zhiyuan and Wu Cheng's hands, he just walked away.
Song Tiecheng frowned and was about to have an attack.
Although he couldn't understand the conversation between Gao Jianwu and the others, he could understand the boy's arrogance at a glance.
To be honest, even though these two white-skinned guys were about the same height as them, Song Tiecheng was confident that he could kill them both by himself.
"Hammer, let them go."
Gao Jianwu didn't want to cause trouble. In this unfamiliar place, it was better to have more trouble than less trouble.
After Gao Jianwu finished speaking, he winked at Wu Zhiyuan and the others, and Wu Zhiyuan and Wu Cheng put the guy away knowingly.
When Lin Suhuan and his wife saw the two strong white-skinned men leaving, they did not feel at ease.
For strangers like Gao Jianwu who suddenly appeared in their home. Lin Suhuan doesn't feel like a good person.
"Brothers, we really don't have much money. The salary I just paid has already paid the rent and there is very little left." Lin Suhuan carefully glanced at Gao Jianwu, the leader of the other party, and said in a low voice in English.
"Mr. Lin, please don't get me wrong. We are not a gang, but from the other side of the mainland." Gao Jianwu looked at Lin Suhuan's appearance and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
In such a fearful life in this foreign country. I don’t know how Lin Suhuan chose to live here in the first place.
But I think this is the normal life of Chinese people here. After all, geniuses like Professor Qian are in the minority. They are supported by top teachers and receive a salary that can be called a golden salary here, so they can live quite decently.
This is not the case for Lin Suhuan. He is a theoretical physicist and has not achieved much yet. He only received a PhD from MIT in physics and got an assistant professor position at a university here, barely. Just being able to live.
"Are you from the mainland?" Lin Suhuan relaxed after hearing what Gao Jianwu said. "Since we are fellow villagers, you should leave here as soon as possible. When Frank and the others find someone, I'm afraid there will be trouble. By the way, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Mr. Lin, it's like this. My surname is Gao. I come from the mainland. We have now recovered Pingjin, Jinsui and other places. In Jin, we have established a new university. In the Department of Physics, we hope to introduce a number of physicists from America. We wanted to hire Mr. Lin to teach in his hometown, with a monthly salary of NT$200, and we also provided each professor with an independent suit. Apartment with bathroom." Gao Jianwu simply stated his intention.
Lin Suhuan completely relaxed after listening to Gao Jianwu's words. Although it was not easy for Gao Jianwu and his group to bring a guy, the way they talked did have a completely different style from the gang.
In other words, the other party is a serious person.
In this case, Lin Suhuan doesn't need to be afraid for the time being.
"Mr. Gao, I'm sorry. I just brought my lover from the mainland to the Americas. I'm afraid I have to live up to your kindness." Lin Suhuan politely declined.
To be honest, he knew nothing about Gao Jianwu's origins and could not just accept his invitation.
No matter how hard he worked, he even borrowed loan sharks to bring his wife from the mainland to America. He originally wanted to live a life in this war-free place.
It's just that with his salary, he now has to cope with the living and rent of two people, which has long been stretched, and there is no money left to repay the loan shark.
And his wife doesn't even speak the language now, so she can't go out to work to make money. US$500 may not seem like much, but for someone like him whose monthly salary is only US$200, and whose monthly rent costs US$100, it is now a huge debt that cannot be repaid at all.
If he gets through the internship stage and is promoted to associate professor, his salary will rise to US$300 a month, and he will have enough money to pay off his debts.
But Frank and the others wouldn't wait that long at all.
"Su Huan, let's go back. I'm scared here!" Lin Suhuan's wife, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted.
To be honest, Lin Suhuan had vowed to her in the letter that the food was popular in America and that life here was stable and prosperous. As a result, when he arrived, he found that his family had huge debts that he could not repay.
Even if I frugally save for a month, I won't be able to save more than a few dozen dollars. Now almost every few days, Frank and the others would come to her door to ask for debts. Today, the fierce and strong man was looking at her with malicious intent.
Even if she didn't understand Frank's words, she was smart enough to guess what he was saying. She had heard this kind of thing too many times in her hometown.
If Gao Jianwu and his group hadn't arrived today, she might not have been able to survive, so after hearing Gao Jianwu's words, her heart suddenly moved.
If you tell her what 200 US dollars is, I'm afraid she will feel embarrassed; but she will immediately understand what 200 oceans is.
Life in China is very good even in cities.
What's more, if the other party also provides an apartment, that would be even better.
Somehow, she didn't doubt what Gao Jianwu said at all. Because when she secretly watched Gao Jianwu say these words, the people around her didn't find it strange at all.
Being able to bring such a few strong men to the Americas to recruit talents, I guess Gao Jianwu is also a big shot in the mainland. Looking at his every move, he has the undoubted aura of a superior.
"Shiyin, don't worry, our life in America will get better soon. The country is still in turmoil, and we will be threatened by war from time to time if we go back." Lin Suhuan hurriedly retorted after hearing what his wife said.
"No, I just heard Mr. Gao say. Now most of the country has been liberated, and you also said that the Puppet Manchuria has been liberated by the Eighth Route Army, and now only the Jiangnan area has not been liberated. According to the Eighth Route Army, According to the trend, perhaps the restoration will be completed this year. Then there will be peace in the country."
Lin Suhuan's wife, Feng Shiyin, attended the Women's Normal College for a period of time, and she still has some knowledge. Although she has not yet learned to speak English and cannot read the newspapers here, she will let her husband tell her to understand current affairs.
"That's right, Mrs. Lin, you are absolutely right. This year we will regain the country. Now, we have recruited more than 200 doctors and professors from various disciplines in the Americas to return to China to participate in reconstruction.
Jindi is now full of factories and thriving. You must have heard that many people from the rear area have gone to Jindi to find good jobs. Now we are building a new university here, just to cultivate more talents to meet the rapid demand. Development has a huge demand for talents. "Gao Jianwu listened to Feng Shiyin's words and felt that there was a way to do it, so he struck while the iron was hot.
"Shuhuan, did you hear what Mr. Gao said? Didn't you say that we would go back when the country stabilizes? We are always outsiders here. Even if we die, we will be lonely ghosts. I really don't want to stay. ." Feng Shiyin shuddered in her heart when she thought of Frank's fierce and wretched expression just now, and she was about to cry when her eye circles turned red.
She desperately wanted to seize this opportunity, but what Lin Suhuan told her was too far from reality. She was afraid that once Gao Jianwu and the others left, and Frank and the others came again, a more tragic fate would befall them.
As a new woman with some education, Feng Shiyin knew that for Lin Suhuan, the most valuable thing in this bare-bones home was probably "herself".
And now, once she is taken away by Frank and the others, is there any other way besides selling her body?
When Lin Shuhuan saw his wife like this, he was confused for a moment and had no opinion. He was a soft-hearted person with no independent opinions.
Frankly speaking, he still somewhat believed what Gao Jianwu said. Although America is the last paradise in the world, it is obvious that this paradise is still not so friendly to him. In order to raise enough money for his wife to come to America, he borrowed money from everyone around him, so he had to take the risk to find a gang member. The loan shark company thought well at the time, gritted its teeth and replaced it within half a year.
But when his wife really took over, he found that things had changed. When he was alone, it didn't matter if he could live in the laboratory and eat in the school cafeteria. But as soon as his wife arrived, renting an apartment was unavoidable.
And based on the rent here in New York, only US$100 is enough to live in a small apartment. Adding in the food and household expenses for two people, you can save up to twenty or thirty US dollars a month, which is not bad.
But with loan sharks, the interest rate is rolling upwards every year. Not to mention that 200 US dollars a year becomes 500 US dollars. In the meantime, he paid back more than 100 US dollars in interest.
By next year, it will probably cost more than a thousand dollars, and the debt will be completely unpaid!
But could he reason with Frank about this?
"Mr. Lin, if you agree to return to China to teach, we will be responsible for solving your debt problem and the travel expenses back. We have learned about your academic situation and you are a theoretical physicist that is urgently needed in the country.
Frankly speaking, Mr. Lin, your current situation would have been very difficult without our intervention. That Frank wants to take your wife away, if you don't meet us today. I'm afraid your wife has been taken away and you have no power to stop them. "Gao Jianwu's words became the last straw that broke Feng Shiyin's mind.
Gao Jianwu's words finally turned her guess into reality, which made Feng Shiyin turn pale.
"Shuhuan, I don't care if you go back or not, I must go back. Today I would rather follow Mr. Gao than live here with you anymore. This is not our home, we can't stay here Let others slaughter you!" Feng Shiyin said in a voice that was almost roaring.
"Shiyin, don't be like this, let's go back, let's go back!" Lin Suhuan panicked when he saw Feng Shiyin like this.
"But even if we want to go back, we need to quit our school jobs. We can't just leave like this. If that happens, Frank will go to the police station to sue us and make us fugitives."
"Mr. Lin, if you confirm that you will return to China to teach, leave Frank's affairs to us. You can prepare the aftermath of your return. When everything is in order, come to us here." Gao Jianwu saw that things were finally coming to an end. He came to an end and told Lin Suhuan his address in New York.
Although this matter is a bit troublesome to deal with, Gao Jianwu thinks it is worth it. After all, theoretical physicists are so rare these days. Especially Lin Suhuan, a theoretical physicist who graduated from a prestigious school and has solid basic skills.
The calculation and verification of future mushrooms are inseparable from a large number of high-end talents like Lin Suhuan.
But now is obviously not the time to communicate with Lin Suhuan about this kind of thing.
"Mr. Gao, I have confirmed that I will return to China to teach, but you haven't told me the name of this school yet." Lin Suhuan thought of Frank's threat just now, and he didn't think Frank was just talking.
Looking back now, if Gao Jianwu and the others had not appeared, he really would not have been able to save his wife.
Although Lin Suhuan was more indecisive, when he thought that it would be difficult to stay here, Lin Suhuan also made up his mind to prepare to go back.
He knew much more about the domestic situation than Feng Shiyin. It’s just that before, I only wanted to stay in America. So he actually hides many things from his wife.
Some of his classmates from the Lianda University in Jindi have already gone to Jindi, and their development is not bad. They are basically responsible for the technical director of the first factory, and they also receive stock dividends. Their life is really good.
There were even letters motivating him to go back. However, he went to the Americas and changed his career to study theoretical physics. He felt that he had to change his career when he returned, and his major was not suitable for him, so he decided to take out a loan shark and took his wife out to develop in the Americas.
Now I look a little stupid.
He left his hometown and became a lowly man. He was helpless here, and now he was involved in a gang, which made him look like a fool.
"Mr. Lin, welcome to join Jinyang Institute of Technology. I don't think it will take long before you will understand what a wise choice this is. With the efforts of you and me, Jinyang Institute of Technology will become a first-class university in China and even internationally." Gao Jianwu He said to Lin Suhuan with confidence.
"Jinyang Institute of Technology?" Lin Suhuan murmured to himself and nodded. The name sounded pretty good, and Jinyang was a hot spot in China highly praised by his classmates. He thought it would be good to live here.
At least the salary Gao Jianwu offered him was a truly high white-collar salary in China.
He is not as sentimental about family and country as Professor Qian. He just wants to live a harmonious and beautiful life in his small family. If he can live such a life in his hometown, why would he bother to leave his hometown and come to America.
Gao Jianwu did not demand that Lin Suhuan have the noble sentiments of Professor Qian. For him, as long as the talents can do their jobs conscientiously in their positions, this is very good for him now.
Lin Suhuan was the first intellectual he met who lived a life centered on his family, but he was by no means the last.
Gao Jianwu can understand.
It's just that Gao Jianwu didn't expect that this little person could actually cause a big stir.
