Most Chinese restaurants these days are concentrated near Chinatown, which is not far from Wall Street, but most of the people living nearby are low-income people.

When Locke entered the Chinese restaurant, he saw a Latina woman with two children about four years old and a baby in her arms, trying to use infant shopping coupons to pay off the bill.

The owner of the restaurant did not refuse. This kind of shopping voucher was issued by the government. According to regulations, it can only be used to purchase baby products. But in fact, most businesses will turn a blind eye when they are actually used to buy other products or pay bills.

This is also the way of survival for some people at the bottom of the United States. As long as they have three or four children, they can easily get thousands of dollars in relief funds and a lot of infant and child shopping coupons.

Relying on this huge benefit, some parents even choose to lie down instead of continuing to work hard.

The United States spends hundreds of billions of various relief funds on this every year. This is also one of the important reasons why the black population in the United States will continue to expand and the proportion will continue to rise in the future.

After choosing a place and cooking, the waiter placed the menu on the table and waited for Locke to take his order.

He skillfully switched to Chinese: "Here comes a Kung Pao Chicken and Mapo Tofu. My friend doesn't like spicy food, so use less spicy food. Also, a bowl of haggis soup, please don't give it to me." Serve improved dishes, authentic Chinese food.”

In the final analysis, food is a bit subjective. Chinese food that is popular around the world has actually been modified to a certain extent to adapt to local tastes.

The soil and water support the people, and food is highly subjective. Locke even heard that people in some countries in Africa and Southeast Asia even regard bananas as their staple food.

It's like the United States prefers sweet food, so the sweetness in the dishes has been significantly increased. Locke said this to avoid trying modified dishes that taste weird to him.

Speaking of which, Tang Wei discovered this restaurant. The Chinese food prepared by the chef tastes very good, especially the freshly served haggis soup.

Seeing Locke drinking haggis soup with relish, Tang Wei couldn't help but feel a little strange: "You really don't look like an American. At least I have never seen Americans who like to eat haggis."

"Maybe I was from the East in my previous life." Locke shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

Because of different eating habits, in the United States, almost no one wants to eat pig offal, chicken feet, pig trotters, etc., and they are all thrown away directly when slaughtered.

I heard that some businessmen later found a way to sell these things directly to Asia and made a fortune. Unfortunately, the people of the Eastern Kingdom are not rich enough now, so it is unclear how the business will be.

The second dish the boss served was Mapo Tofu. Tang Wei was not used to eating spicy food. After taking two bites, he kept inhaling, fanned the air with his hands, and said, "It's so spicy!"

"Eat more rice. I've asked the kitchen to put less chili pepper, but if you don't put it at all, it won't have the same flavor." Locke said, taking a bite of the newly arrived Kung Pao Chicken and putting it into Tang Wei's bowl. .

…

After the meal, while there were not many customers, Locke chatted with the boss for a while, and then he realized that the boss was still the chef of the restaurant.

The boss also talked about his ten-year-old daughter, saying that she was very upbeat and good at mathematics and had successfully transferred to a private school. He also said that if possible, she would be allowed to study economics-related majors in the future.

Economics-related majors are extremely popular in the United States. Like lawyers and doctors who represent the middle class, they make a lot of money and have a lot of face when speaking out.

It's a pity that she is Chinese and a girl. Locke estimates that even if she gets admitted to a top university in the future, her development will be limited.

Of course, even if you just become a middle-level manager in a large company, you have a better future than working in a restaurant.

Most Chinese in the United States live an average life, their social status is not high, and they are severely restricted.

The better ones can only open Chinese restaurants, laundries, and print shops. In contrast, if you can become a middle-level manager in a large company, you will have both face and income.

Regarding the boss's expectations, Locke said something nice. In the past two years, more and more Chinese have come to the United States, and even the original Chinese have squeezed the new Chinese immigrants who have come to the United States in recent years.

This kind of killing is actually not uncommon among all ethnic groups around the world.

Seeing that Locke likes to eat authentic Chinese food, Tang Wei said casually: "Actually, my cooking tastes good, but it's a pity that the conditions in the apartment are not suitable for Chinese food with a lot of fumes."

"If you want to be more free, you can only go to the suburbs." Locke said: "Speaking of which, I bought a single-family villa in Meijing Town. If we have time, we can go there together and try your craft."

"No problem, our ancestors were great chefs. I have learned a lot since I was a child. I guarantee you will swallow everything with your tongue." Tang Wei was full of confidence.

Not long after lunch, Tang Wei received a call, and the two of them drove back to the consulting company.

In the eyes of the salesman, Locke's willingness to assume a million-dollar debt for a financial license was completely taken advantage of.

This license is difficult for financial companies outside the United States to apply for, but domestic companies on Wall Street, even if they are of average size, basically have this kind of financial license as long as the procedures are complete.

Moreover, competition on Wall Street is fierce. Even if it is not the stock market crash season, companies will go bankrupt from time to time.

Today, the overall market situation in the financial industry is average. The shadow of the major stock market crash a few years ago still remains, which has caused many investors to be unwilling to invest money. Now Wall Street as a whole is in a money shortage.

Instead of going to a consulting company immediately, Locke first found an accounting company and made an appointment for services.

After all, it is impossible for Locke to completely trust the information provided by the consulting company. Relevant reviews must be conducted before signing the contract or even in the early stages after the company is acquired.

After leaving the accounting company, I met Robert from the consulting company again. This time he brought out the information of the three selected companies, each of which contained the latest relevant information and developments:

“Most fund companies have not had a good time in recent years. The stock market crash a few years ago almost wiped out all these companies, which has caused lingering fear among mainstream investors.

However, there are a few people who have not invested money in the stock market and are barely getting by. Before the stock market crash, a large number of people invested. They made money by charging management fees and commissions, which was a no-cost business.

These are the three most suitable companies that we have selected for you. Take a look first and give me some time if you are not satisfied. I will definitely find the right one and the price will definitely satisfy you. "

Locke nodded. According to his requirements, in addition to having a complete license, the fund company to be acquired should preferably have ready-made office space and a small number of smart and capable employees.

This is actually not difficult. In fact, in the past few years after the stock market crash, the overall industry has been in a slump. Various related companies have either gone bankrupt or are downsizing their employees. Unemployed people holding various certificates are everywhere.

If the ability is not strong enough, it is impossible to survive in the industry now.

In fact, Lockon Fund Company is, firstly, to manage the assets under its own name more conveniently, and secondly, to raise funds and use other people's funds to make money.

He quickly looked through the information of these three companies and became interested in one of them: "Not only does this fund company have no liabilities, it still manages US$7 million in assets, especially when the market is about to turn around. Why is it being sold?”
