Chapter 14 A chance encounter with a physics master (first update, please collect and read)
  In 43, there were only Cantonese restaurants in Chinatown. After all, most of the people in Chinatown were Cantonese.

Although I really want to eat Sichuan food, the popularity of Sichuan food will have to wait until the new century. Right now, there are only Cantonese food in Chinatown. However, the dishes made by Cantonese restaurants at this time are very authentic and have not made many changes for foreigners.

The Cantonese-style roast goose and roast meat can make people whet their appetites while enjoying the delicious food. Being able to successfully complete the transaction on the day of arriving in the United States is definitely Zhu Yihai's effort. During the meal, Li Yian naturally wanted to express his gratitude.

"Mr. Li, I can't thank you enough for taking care of my business. If I want to say thank you, that's all from me!"

For Zhu Yihai, who has not opened a business for several days, the money he earned today is almost equivalent to his income in the past two months. He received an agency fee of fifty US dollars from Coville, plus the amount of money he earned in Little Italy. The fifty dollars Anastasia gave was a full hundred dollars!
  This is equivalent to one month's salary income of ordinary workers today. In fact, the income of Americans is not high at the moment. The monthly salary of US soldiers is only 50 US dollars. This is enough for many red necks to leave their hometown and fight for the country. .

Make $100 a day!

This made Zhu Yihai very satisfied. Of course, it would be better if it could continue like this.

"Mr. Zhu, I wonder how much income you have every month now?"

For Li Yi'an, who plans to turn this business into a long-term business, he needs someone to take charge of it here in the United States. It is not just nesting in Chinatown, but operating as a company and in a corporatized manner.

Originally, Li Yi'an did not have the manpower to be responsible for the development of the business here, but this time Zhu Yihai's performance made him very satisfied. Maybe he was not shrewd, but he was reliable, so he decided to give him a chance.

"This one……"

After thinking about it, Zhu Yihai said.

"To be honest with you, you know that it is not easy for us Chinese to find jobs outside. During the Great Depression, white people definitely hired white people first. After graduating from high school, we could not find suitable jobs in Chinatown, that is, everywhere I worked odd jobs. After the war broke out, I originally wanted to take advantage of various factories to recruit people and work in factories. However, because sailors often came to Chinatown to sell goods, I stayed here. This business has its ups and downs. Just to make ends meet..."

Zhu Yihai did not hide the fact that he had no fixed income, but chose to tell the truth.

"I'm going to set up an import and export trading company in New York. How about you come and work for me?"

"Sir, are you planning to set up a company here?"

Zhu Yihai said in surprise.

"Why are you surprised? The business I plan to do is not just cigarettes. I will definitely do other businesses in the future. It will be more convenient to run a company."

into the company?
  Wouldn't that be a decent job in a suit and tie? Isn't that kind of job what I have longed for?

"If I work for you, what will I be responsible for? How much is the salary?"

Despite the desire, remuneration is still the most important. No one will refuse a stable income, but whether this job is stable, I am afraid only God knows.

"Your job is very simple. You are responsible for the daily operations of the company. You only need to purchase the goods according to my requirements, and then transport them to the warehouse for storage and management. Of course, this is early work. As the business develops in the future, you will definitely need to hire For new employees. As for the salary..."

Li Yian said, thinking about the advertisement for staff recruitment he saw in the newspaper when he came.

"The monthly salary is eighty dollars, and if the performance is good, there will be additional bonuses."

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Zhu Yihai nodded in agreement:

"Mr. Li, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely not let you down."

Although he knew that it would be difficult for anyone to refuse the conditions he offered, Zhu Yihai's agreement still made Li Yian very happy. He needed someone here to be responsible for purchasing and collecting market information.

Especially the latter is more important, information is wealth!
  Sometimes, things are more complicated than imagined. The easiest way to register a company is to find a lawyer to do it for you. That afternoon, Zhu Yihai visited nearby law firms, but no lawyer was willing to take their order.

Because they are Chinese.

"Oh, it's much better now than it was more than ten years ago. When I was in high school more than ten years ago, even black people were unwilling to sit at the same table with me. If it didn't work, we would go to black lawyers and they should be able to accommodate us. We are just registering a company, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll run it ourselves...” As soon as he finished his words, a young man suddenly came over to lead the table. said.

"Two gentlemen, I would like to excuse you. My friend and I were dining next door and I overheard your conversation. Do you need a lawyer?"

The young man smiled at them.

"If you don't mind, I can help you. I am a lawyer myself and am qualified to practice in the United States and New York. If you don't mind, I can help you a little."

The bond between people is wonderful.

Just when Li Yi'an couldn't find a lawyer, someone came to him. He was actually a compatriot.

There was also some expectation in Zhang Weilun's eyes. As we all know, Chinese people don't like or even know how to litigate, so they naturally don't need lawyers.

Of course, Zhang Weilun would not miss the opportunity when he needed a lawyer.

"It's you!"

Li Yian said without any hesitation.

"The agency fee will be based on the market price in New York. If you have money, you should make it for your compatriots!"

After that, seeing that there was another person over there, Li Yian took the initiative to invite him.

"Lawyer Zhang, why don't you invite your friends to have dinner with you?"

"This……"

Zhang Weilun looked at his friend and saw that he did not refuse, so he nodded in agreement. His friend wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looked elegant. He walked to the table and Zhang Weilun introduced him.

"This is my friend, Yuan Jialiu, who currently works in the RCA Laboratory."

Yuan Jialiu!
  For a moment, Li Yian was stunned. This... was a big shot in the physics world! He and his wife are both big names in the physics world. His wife Wu Jianxiong even almost won the Nobel Prize. However, because of her straightforward personality, she offended some big names in the physics world and missed the Nobel Prize.

……

With the help of the lawyer, the matter went smoothly, but it only took one day to complete the corresponding procedures.

While they were busy renting offices and warehouses, Li Yian, accompanied by others, traveled throughout New York in just five days to understand the current market conditions.

After running for a few days, Li Yian had a headache.

"Things are not as simple as I thought..."

After a brief comparison of the materials controlled by the two countries, Li Yi'an had to face the fact that compared to the United States, Britain's materials were scarcer. There is simply nothing suitable to transport.

With his hands on his head, he lowered his head and thought, the advertisement in the newspaper happened to fall into his eyes. He didn't pay attention at first, but then he was stunned when he scanned the entire page. , and then hurriedly flipped through the advertisements on the table. Then he picked up several other newspapers and hurriedly flipped through them. Suddenly, he said excitedly as if he had discovered a new world.

"There is..."

 It’s time for the first round of recommendations. The next recommendations will all depend on pursuing reading. I also ask for your support and pursuing reading!
