Return To 1977 Chapter 739: Employment
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
In the capital city where the five-star red flag is flying, you can actually meet an "Italian Black Party"? Is this probability too low? Will it be too legendary?
No, if analyzed objectively, it is actually quite logical.
Because the Republic in the early days of reform and opening up was very different from now.
Back then, the capitalist world didn’t know much about us, but the limited rumors and news were demonized.
In the imagination of many people, our country has a conservative and backward system with no human rights.
The streets are full of "red beards" riding horses. They can kill people at will. The offices of the army and police should be connected to the water prison, and citizens should not have any private property.
What's more, we call ourselves "Descendants of the Dragon", and "DRAGON" in the Western world represents evil, so our understanding is even easier to deviate.
In short, most of them try their best to exaggerate the atmosphere of terror, even to the point of being unreasonable and weird.
So even though our country is busy attracting investment because it wants to develop its economy, and urgently needs to bring in foreign investment, even a blue-collar worker from outside is eager to squeeze out hundreds of dollars from others.
But the real overseas wealthy people really don’t dare to come to us to “dig for gold”. Soros and Rogers don’t have the guts.
Because they don't know what other weird things are waiting for them in this mysterious land besides business opportunities.
Thus, it is destined to be just for personal reasons. Anyone who dares to come to our country or the capital at this time must have some skills and skills.
To put it plainly, there were many gray figures among the overseas people who invested in China at that time.
The "vanguard" are almost all people with special status like a certain Hong Kong businessman named Huo.
On the one hand, they are indeed legitimate businessmen who come to invest. On the other hand, they also have external backgrounds and are basically out-and-out gangsters.
Of course there are not a few people who have been squeezed into despair. Didn't Boss Huo come here to find a way to survive because he couldn't survive in Hong Kong?
So it’s not surprising that people like Angelo come to the capital. Maybe among his neighbors are expelled Russian skinheads, French drug dealers who came to escape trouble, and British gangsters who stole the boss’s wife.
For example, among Japanese businessmen there are people from the Yamaguchi Group, and among Taiwanese businessmen there are people from the Bamboo Alliance Gang. That is completely normal.
The reason why Hong Yanwu knows these things very clearly is because many Hong Kong and Taiwanese people he met told him this after he became successful in his previous life.
Well, for him, Angelo's background that makes ordinary people fearful and scrupulous can be turned into favorable conditions.
Because first, Angelo is here to take refuge and has nowhere to go temporarily, which means that he can be exploited for a long time.
Second, Angelo’s unfamiliarity with the Republic and his need for long-term asylum will cause his own fear.
Then it will be easy to be honest and obedient, and you will be fooled no matter how hard you try.
Disobedient? Try not to obey! They took a photo of your passport and immediately published it in the Los Angeles newspaper as a missing person notice.
Third, Angelo's gray background not only makes him unable to trust the police, but also gives him a considerable degree of anti-reconnaissance attributes.
Of course he is a good candidate to do this, as it ensures the safety of the foreign exchange certificate business to the greatest extent.
Fourth, Angelo's American attributes are themselves a bargaining chip and safety talisman that can easily make profits.
There are many benefits here, you can explore them slowly.
As for the reaction force, there is no need to worry.
Don’t forget, foreigners coming to our place are like dropping briquettes into a noodle vat, and the Republic also bans guns.
Everyone who comes here has to sit cross-legged or lie down. The People's Liberation Army and the police are awesome here.
So this Angelo is really smart and he chose the right place. The trouble behind his back is equal to eradication.
In addition, the Republic’s policies towards foreigners are both strict and lenient. After all, attracting investment is the top priority.
As long as they do not commit crimes within our country and are not malicious international spies, we will naturally not interfere with them.
Even for a poor guy like Angelo.
Because once you touch him, it may cause other people to have bad associations and scare away good investments.
The same goes for the opposite, not to mention that some people are so heinous that they even have a bad reputation in their local area.
But once they entered the mainland to do business, they adapted to the rules here.
Not only does he have a good relationship with government officials, but he also actively donates money to charity, transforming himself into a patriot or a "good friend of the Republic."
Such is the complexity of the world.
To sum up, Hong Yanwu found no disadvantages or hidden dangers, and soon decided to officially hire "Angelo".
"That's great. What is your expected reward?"
A completely unexpected question, Angelo was of course overjoyed.
"Remuneration? Oh my gosh, sir. I've wanted to talk about this issue for a long time. In fact, I don't want much, just enough for me to eat, clothe, and pay rent. It's just that I'm a foreigner, and everything is expensive. So..."
Seeing Angelo's hesitation, Hong Yanwu knew what he was worried about and smiled lightly.
"What is your annual income as an American?"
Angelo's eyes lit up as he heard the intention of these words.
"About nineteen thousand US dollars. Of course, everyone's specific situation is different. My past income was much higher..."
Hong Yanwu's kindness is of course limited, and he cannot be allowed to sit on the ground and raise prices.
"But this is a republic. And you're still hungry."
Angelo was also very sensible, apologized immediately and restrained his greed.
"Oh, yes...I'm sorry, then you have the final say."
Hong Yanwu finally offered his price.
"You will continue to do what you do now. For every 100,000 yuan in foreign exchange coupons you bring to us, I will pay you a commission of 1,500 yuan. 200,000 yuan is 3,000 yuan, and 300,000 yuan is 4,000 yuan. 5. Is it fair? ”
In 1982, the foreign exchange rate was 1.8962 RMB for 1 U.S. dollar. If we maintained a business of 200,000 yuan every month, this would be equivalent to an annual salary of 19,000 U.S. dollars.
Although it's not good enough, it's still a good thing for Angelo.
Don’t forget that this is China, and American wages are spent here, no matter what, they are enough.
And there is no need to pay taxes here, and you can use RMB to buy cheap goods. In fact, your income is much higher than in the United States.
Besides, being forced and doing it for yourself are two different things. As long as Hong Yanwu's funds can keep up, Angelo is fully confident that he can refresh his performance to 300,000 per month.
For this, he immediately expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Ah! OK, sir, I am willing to serve you and I will work hard..."
But the luck did not end there, Hong Yanwu also gave him a small surprise.
"By the way, I also need you to go to the bank every month to help me exchange foreign exchange certificates into U.S. dollars. This job is calculated separately. Every time you exchange 10,000 U.S. dollars for me, I will pay you 200 RMB."
This time "Angelo" was so happy that he almost jumped up with joy.
This meant he had another easy way to make extra money without any risk.
"Oh my god! Sir, I can't describe how I feel. Today must be my lucky day. I thank you on behalf of my wife and children. You are so generous and kind..."
The Italian-style glib tone made both Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan happy, and five hundred yuan was left on the table as an advance salary and passport.
The money was still necessary. That night, Angelo took the money and slightly improved the food.
He went to the store and bought some things to make himself an authentic pasta and black pepper steak, and also bought a bottle of red wine.
The moment the familiar aroma entered his mouth, he was almost moved to tears.
Obviously, for anyone, being able to eat familiar home food in a foreign country has a sacred and special meaning.
From this day on, "Angelo" became Hong Yanwu's first foreigner, and from then on he began to work hard to make money for him.
Although times have changed, he once complained about Hong Yanwu's stinginess on this matter, saying that he suffered a big loss at that time.
But he also couldn't deny that it was only later that he discovered how valuable things that had been ignored in the past were.
I finally began to understand the essence of life and learned to cherish what I already have.
As for the "little wife", because he was responsible for supervising Angelo's work, he naturally became friends with her.
Angelo was also nicknamed "Piss Ni" based on the surname "Nioni".
However, after learning about Angelo's origin and background, the "little wife" never dared to accept his invitation to visit the United States once in her life.
He was afraid that this boy would hold a grudge and plot against him on the other side of the ocean.
Although killing him won't be a big deal, there is an old saying: Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided.
Don’t forget that Italy also has the dreaded “stinky cheese”.
When his "little wife"'s assets exceeded ten million, he went to Sardinia, Italy, to experience it because "Angelo" had boasted about this delicious food to him.
It turned out that this "Buddha" in the capital, who claimed to be well-informed, was used to eating stinky tofu, and no longer regarded any stinky food in the world.
As soon as I saw the heavy taste with lively things.
Not only was he so frightened that he peed his pants and ran away, but even the nightmare scene after that turned into Angelo laughing sinisterly and forcing him to eat this thing.
