Is this the prosperous and beautiful city in American movies? Tall buildings everywhere, cars and horses like dragons, gentlemen and ladies well-dressed, feasting and feasting, luxury and glitz like a paradise of wealth... When did New York become a slum?!

“It’s as chaotic as Shanghai now!”

Zhu Bin muttered in disappointment. He wanted to see the most refreshing and fashionable modern city in this era, but what he saw in front of him was indeed a smoky and lifeless place, as if it had completely lost its vitality and vitality. The streets were filled with sallow and thin people who tried their best to see

They looked neater, but their clothes were obviously inappropriate or out of season, and their blank eyes betrayed their situation.

On the broad street, people queuing up to receive relief funds can't be seen from beginning to end. Burning trash cans are crowded with people keeping warm. Temporary shelters made of newspapers and broken boxes are everywhere at the entrance of subway stations and Central Park.

In front of every recruitment notice posted by a company that is open for business, there are thousands of people frantically grabbing for the poor opportunity - no matter what kind of job it is.

The US government official who accompanied him showed a little embarrassment on his face, but he didn't feel too embarrassed. In fact, he had lost all the shame he deserved in Washington, the capital, and it was not his responsibility.

In the current capital, 25,000 veterans of the European War, wearing tattered military uniforms, were marching in the streets shouting slogans. Unemployed workers blocked the White House. President Hoover was frightened.

They were so panicked that they didn't dare to go out. The "Hoover Houses" everywhere looked like shameful business cards pasted on the American flag - everyone looked numb.

If the capital is like this, is it any wonder that New York is even worse? This symbol of the United States, the core of the financial industry, and the most prosperous city in the Northeast, has at least one million unemployed people, and countless outsiders are coming to the city in a steady stream.

There are so many people coming here that nothing can stop them. The city government can barely spend a little money to provide relief payments of US$3.50 per week to citizens who already have a good income, but this amount of money is far from enough to feed a family.

"Now is not the worst time." Ms. Peggy Hull left the Navy Secretary's team and returned to New York with Zhu Bin to report on his duties. At the same time, he interviewed his financing plan for traveling to the United States. At this moment, she saw that New York, which they had been apart for a long time, had become

Seeing this appearance, my heart felt very heavy.

"In June of this year, more than 27,000 fresh graduates graduated from universities in the Northeast alone, but we have no job placement for them. Now, all elevator operators in a New York department store need a bachelor's degree. Last year

And I still don’t know what’s going on with the students who graduated the year before last.”

"There are so many?!" Zhu Bin was shocked. He was really shocked by the comparison! It's just one area. If this were the United States, there would be more than 100,000 college students graduating every year? All over China in ten years

Is there such a number of graduated students in total?! The gap in education is the gap in comprehensive national strength!

"What a waste! If it were in China, no matter how many college students there would be, they wouldn't be without jobs!" Su Huixin, who had become a lot more honest, opened her eyes in surprise and sighed.

This is definitely a disaster! Zhu Bin pinched his chin and thought about it, but he was secretly happy in his heart. The situation seemed to be better than he imagined. This means there is no need to worry about the quality of the talents introduced.

In public, it is difficult to make too many comments in front of other government officials. The group of people left the station and entered the apartment. What they saw along the way became more and more shocking. At the end, Zhu Bin was even a little annoyed: "His uncle! If China

There are millions of high-quality unemployed people in one city, why am I forced to travel tens of thousands of kilometers to find workers!"

If there were so many available talents in the United States, or even only one-tenth of the available talents, he would not have to worry at all, and all plans could be implemented directly. But the problem is that in China now, you can't find them even if you have money.

How many qualified industrial workers are there, let alone engineers? Almost all of the bosses of numerous domestic industrial companies are themselves engineers and technical leaders, and they themselves are most likely the only experts in the entire enterprise!

After a short rest, Zhu Bin and his party went to visit the prestigious Wall Street under the escort.

Wall Street, which used to be the busiest in the world, has now become like a ghost, with doomsday scenes everywhere. After all, today is the regular monthly "Apple Holiday" - an unpaid rest day, that is, securities companies allow cash-strapped stockbrokers to go on Wall Street.

He set up a stall selling fruits--mostly apples--to supplement his family's income.

Wandering on the street, I looked at the elites who were the most glamorous and had the most enviable careers a few years ago. They stood listlessly and even a little dazed behind the apple stall, feebly greeting the cars and people who occasionally passed by.

I don't really expect anyone to stop and take a second look.

"This is the punishment they deserve!" Someone among the accompanying officials muttered in a low voice. He was obviously an unlucky guy who had been deceived by such brokers to speculate in stocks, and ended up losing everything. Well, in fact, such unlucky guys are everywhere in the country.

They all account for a large proportion of the bankrupt population, and they all refuse to admit that their greed has led to such consequences.

Zhu Bin smiled and said nothing. A rubbish guy like him at the bottom of the federation had a very hard time getting every penny, so there wouldn't be managers like him who go to high-end places all day long to come to him and ask him to buy stocks -

-That little money is not enough for the handling fee.

He actually doesn't like this kind of people. Like most people, Zhu Bin always believes that getting rich through hard work is the only real way. It is very unreasonable for these guys who talk nonsense all day long to get the highest reward.

- Did they create wealth? Not at all.

But he also had to admit that if he wanted to succeed in his own business, he really needed the help of such people.

As he was about to reach the corner of the street where the Morgan Consortium was located, Zhu Bin's eyes suddenly stopped on a fruit-selling agent. After observing him for a while, he walked straight over.

This man is different from other colleagues. He wears a suit as usual, and his leather shoes are shiny. His hair is so meticulously combed that a fly would break his leg if it landed on it. He is clean shaven, and there is no trace of decadence on his thin face.

And frustrated, he still has a comfortable and warm smile, bright eyes, and politely greets everyone who passes by the stall. His voice is tepid. It seems that he is not here to sell fruits, but still in the stall.

Promote stocks.

However, Zhu Bin could tell that this person was indeed not living a good life. The suit had been washed too many times and was slightly faded, and it was from a style several years ago. The trouser lines were a bit shiny after being ironed, and the front ends of the leather shoes were severely worn.

It shows that I walk a lot and the nails on my hands are trimmed and polished very carefully, but my skin is much rougher. It is obvious that the maintenance is not enough or there is no condition.

"Hi! Beautiful ladies and distinguished gentlemen, what can I do for you?"

Seeing Zhu Bin and his group stop in front of him, the tall man, who looked to be at most thirty years old, greeted him happily, but he didn't feel anxious or abrupt at all.

Zhu Bin looked down at his stall, pointed at the clean apples and asked: "Sir, can I ask why your stall is neater and neater than other people's, and

Apples are also strictly separated according to size, completeness and freshness. You know, they are all average quality apples anyway."

The man nodded first and said: "Thank you for the compliment, sir. My name is Steven Siegel. Thank you very much for noticing my stall."

Zhu Bin nodded and waited for his next words.

Steven Siegel said: "No matter what other people think, I think this is always a business activity. Even if it is the cheapest product, we should show its most perfect side to customers. In addition, this

People on the street almost never buy apples to eat for themselves, they just want to enjoy shopping. So why not provide the best service and inner satisfaction? You see, that's it."

"What a talent!" Zhu Bin's eyes lit up. He is the first person he has encountered in this era who can express such a theory, and he can still maintain such a state of mind in such a harsh environment. This person is extraordinary.

ah!

Feeling confident, Zhu Bin smiled and nodded, and asked again: "I would like to ask, Mr. Siegel, what is your official position, can you tell me?"

Steven said calmly: "I was originally the manager of a trust investment company under Goldman Sachs. I had a good chance of becoming the youngest partner of the head office, but I was not very lucky and the company ran into big trouble, so...

." He shrugged coolly.

Goldman Sachs was once a very conservative family business. Before 1929, driven by company leader Vidio Catchings, it expanded crazily at the rate of establishing a trust investment company every day, issuing more than $100 million in shares.

The stock price soared from US$100 to US$200, which was once regarded as a miracle. But the good times did not last long. The stock crashed in 2029, plummeting to more than 1 yuan. The company lost 92% of the original investment, and the company's reputation was also ruined on Wall Street.

It plummeted, becoming the laughing stock of Wall Street, synonymous with error, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

As a senior manager, Steven must share the honor and disgrace with the company. It is natural to be unlucky, and bankruptcy is not unexpected. However, he did not complain to the company, which is rare.

He turned around and looked at Serena. Seeing her nodding, he smiled and said to Steven: "Well, congratulations, Mr. Siegel. I have a job here with an annual salary of fifty thousand US dollars. I wonder if you are willing to do it."

Do."

Fifty thousand U.S. dollars! The government officials who came with him immediately widened their eyes when they heard this! This is a very high salary even in the best economic times! How can this fruit seller be worth so much money? If it were given to them,

I am so happy! You must know that the average weekly salary of American workers is only 15 US dollars!

Steven was not as ecstatic as expected, but his eyes flashed slightly, and he still asked calmly: "Can I ask first, which company I will work for? What is the specific work content?"

Zhu Bin praised again in his heart, and then pointed to a New York Times report folded in the corner of his apple stand: "The Asian section of your newspaper should have a report about me. Recently, I just bought two decommissioned battleships."

"Oh! Are you Mr. Zhu who specializes in...?!" Steven almost lost his mind and quickly added, "The fighting hero who single-handedly established the world's largest shipping group, Global Express Logistics?!"
