Chapter 167 poaching (1)

The United States in 1937 did not completely get rid of the economic crisis, although since Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office as president in 1933, he has delivered an inspiring speech: The only thing we fear is fear of itself.

Roosevelt also urged Congress to pass the Emergency Banking Act, the Federal Emergency Relief Act, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Industrial Revitalization Act, the Tennessee River Basin Administration Act and other bills at an astonishing speed, and made great efforts to maintain bank credit, implement US dollar devaluation, stimulate foreign trade, restrict agricultural production to maintain agricultural product prices, and avoid farmers' bankruptcy; stipulate agreement prices to reduce competition among enterprises. However, until 1937, the US economy still did not return to half of the level before the economic crisis.

Wang Liang came to the United States under this situation. Wang Liang came to the United States under the order of the Civil Affairs Department to find all kinds of talents that Chahar urgently needs now. Well, according to their Chairman Su's words, he took advantage of the time when the Americans were not able to have enough food yet.

Wang Liang knew clearly that the Chahar economy is entering a period of rapid development. Nowadays, new factories are breaking ground every day in Chahar. Stimulated by the continuous news of victory from the 37th Army, many business owners, businessmen, and industry insiders across the country are optimistic about this barren land that was not seen by them before. There is a strong guarantee of force and a loose economic environment here, and there is no exploitation of cruel officials who have plucked their hair and become greedy. What is there a better investment environment in the country than this place?

In the past, no matter how high their status in the domestic business world or how much deposits were in the bank, when facing foreigners, especially Eastern Japanese, they seemed to be lowering their heads than others. Foreigners could laugh and insult them at will. But now it is different. They just say this gently: Don’t be arrogant to me, if you have the ability, go to Chahar to show me. Ensure that those people, especially Japanese, will close their mouths obediently. The bloody fact tells the domestic businessmen that without a stable environment and strong force protection, no matter how great your wealth is, you will be like rootless duckweed, blown away by the strong wind at any time.

As more and more enterprises and businessmen poured in, a very urgent question for Chahar poured into the eyes of those in power. There is a saying in later generations that everyone is familiar with: What is the most precious thing in the world? It is talent. This sentence also applies in the 20th century.

More and more factories, more and more enterprises and schools, even hospitals, factories, mines, etc., all need all kinds of talents. So much demand is difficult to meet Chahar's growing demands by relying so much on Chahar's own talent reserves and China's domestic demands, so Wang Liang's trip to the foreign country was born.

Turning back at the huge Stantine passenger ship, Wang Liang sighed softly. How much he hoped that he was coming to the United States on the passenger ship of his motherland, but his motherland now cannot even make a 600-ton passenger ship, let alone this 600-ton passenger ship.

Shaking his head, throwing the melancholy in his heart first, and after getting off the dock and walking a while, Wang Liang saw a white woman in her twenties, with brown hair, slender figure, wearing a white dress and wearing nylon stockings that had been selling wildly recently, docked next to a Fiat 527 luxury car, holding a piece of cardboard in it with his name in Chinese. He smiled slightly, and Wang Liang turned around and walked towards the white woman.

The young white woman with a somewhat anxious expression saw the person with an Asian face coming towards her. Her eyes lit up. She walked forward a few steps and came to Wang Liang, and stammered in stiff Chinese: "Hello, are you Mr. Wang Liang?"

With a smile on his face, Wang Liang said in a skilled New York accent: "It's okay, this beautiful woman, you can speak English to me, I can understand it. Moreover, I am honored to tell you that my name is Wang Liang."

"Oh, damn it. It's great that you know English." As soon as he said it, the woman who was obviously just entering society suddenly covered her mouth and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I swear in front of you."

Wang Liang carefully looked at the somewhat reckless woman with a surname. There were a few cute little freckles left on her straight nose. Her specially curled brown wavy hair added a bit of maturity. The angular outline on her face gave her another kind of beauty that was different from Asian women.

"It's okay, are you the one who was specially sent by the Watch Company to pick me up?" Wang Liang smiled faintly.

"Oh, yes, except for a few senior executives from China, I can only speak a few Chinese words in the entire company. So, you can see the consequences." The white woman said as she wanted to help Wang Liang carry her luggage.

"Thank you, no need. Letting a beautiful lady come to help me carry my luggage is not a gentleman's right to do, let alone a lady whose name is not known yet." Wang Liang smiled and refused.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, my name is Keslin Nyalang. You can call me Keslin. Sir, you speak very well in English. This is a pure New York accent. You must have been in New York." Keslin said while skillfully starting the car.

"Of course, I graduated from Columbia University's School of Social Work." Wang Liang said as he got in the car and sat in the passenger seat.

"Is Columbia University? This is such a coincidence. You are my senior." Keslin said happily, stepping on the accelerator and the black car drove out quickly.

Keslin is a cheerful and familiar person. In the car, she talked endlessly about her college career with Wang Liang. In just half an hour on the road, she had a very speculative conversation with Wang Liang. This seemed to make Wang Liang relive the scene of being with his roommates in college. It seemed that it was not unreasonable for the company to send her to pick up people.

The car soon arrived at the headquarters of Watch Company on Doppler Street. I saw a Chinese man in his forties wearing a black suit and a thin face greeted him. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Welcome, Mr. Wang, thank you all the way. I am He Zuoming, the general manager of Watch Company. I am welcome to watch Watch Company."

"You're welcome, Wang Liang is here and I'll ask you to take care of him." Wang Liang quickly reached out and clenched his hand tightly with the general manager.

He Zuoming smiled cheerfully: "Mr. Wang, you are the one who our boss has to cooperate with us by name. He doesn't dare to slack off."

Wang Liang smiled slightly after hearing this and didn't say anything.

"Mr. Wang, please come and talk to my office. Keslin, go and ask Joseph to come and move Mr. Wang's luggage in." He Zuoming reached out to make a request, and ordered Keslin.

"please"

"please"

The two walked into He Zuoming's office side by side. Wang Liang couldn't help but look at him with the surname, and found that the decoration inside was really good. The wear-resistant water-milled wooden floors and luxuriously decorated chandeliers all showed a luxurious atmosphere.

Seeing Wang Liang's somewhat shocked look, He Zuoming smiled and said, "I just renovated this office. How about it? It's not bad."

"Yeah, it's good, it feels very grand," Wang Liang nodded.

"There is no way, this office is also the face of the company. People want clothes and Buddhas need gold clothes. If they are not like this, they will not admit it." He Zuoming quipped humorously.

"Mr. He, you must be clear about the purpose of my visit this time. I don't know if you have any good suggestions." Wang Liang was not polite and asked straight to the point.

"Well, Mr. Wang, the economic crisis in the United States has just passed, and the employment situation of ordinary foreign devils is not very good, so ordinary talents are relatively easy to find. We are currently contacting more than a thousand people, and they all expressed their interest after hearing the treatment we proposed. However, there are not many special talents, such as arms experts and aviation engine manufacturing experts, and now they are distributed in various places, so it is not easy to find for a while. This takes time. I hope Mr. Wang will forgive me." He Zuoming said apologetically.

Wang Liang smiled: "Mr. He is so polite. If he is so easy to find, he will not be called a talent. I believe that things are done by humans. You have to eat food one bite at a time, and things have to be done step by step."

"Hehe, thank you Mr. Wang for your understanding. You must be very tired from afar. We have arranged your residence, just in Room 308 of Triumph Hotel. If you have any questions, please feel free to let us know."

"Okay, I will definitely not be polite to you, after all, our boss is the same person."

"Haha, I won't be polite. So, you can send me a car first and use it first." Wang Liang was not polite, and asked for the car.

The boss of the Watch Company was Su Tong, and Chief Su did not hide it. Almost everyone in the face of Chahar knew about it. When Su Tong's father-in-law introduced He Zuoming to Su Tong, Su Tong said without any concealment that he wanted to send him to the United States to sell socks. He Zuoming was so angry that he almost got furious. However, after Su Tong used soft and hard methods, the top student from Oxford in the UK reluctantly agreed to come to the United States to try it. Who would have thought that the stockings that he had once called him bored were sold out of stockings. When they were out of stock, even the female staff in the Watch Company declared that they would rather not have a monthly salary and also wanted a pair of stockings. This surprised our Manager He.
