Along the way, you can clearly see the changes in roadside buildings and infrastructure. The closer you get to Chinatown, the more dilapidated it becomes. This place cannot retain rich people.
However, there are many poor people who cannot find jobs, so it is suitable to develop some labor-intensive enterprises. The wages are much lower than those in downtown Los Angeles. Even in the "sweatshops" where one can only earn about ten dollars a day and the working hours are more than ten hours, there is no shortage of manpower.
Old Chinatown in Los Angeles is one of the synonyms for slums.
New Chinese communities have formed in some places, and those who are able to move will choose to go there to provide a good living environment for themselves and their children. Han Chudong has no plans to leave yet, as many of his businesses are here.
But it is indeed possible to move to a more spacious house so that the whole family doesn't have to queue up to take a shower, and even have to wait to solve physiological problems, which is very inconvenient.
After buying a car for Han Yiqiang, the matter of changing houses has to be put on the agenda. When parking, he thought about finding a location consultant to help him choose a suitable target. Now that he has made a little money, he no longer has to compromise on such things. After all, he will start supplying toy dealers next, and he will probably make a lot of money again.
There are still some magic balls in stock in the warehouse of Light Year Plastic Factory. You can contact them today and they will be sent out through a transportation company or the train station.
The cost of setting up his own logistics channel is too high and is not within his consideration for the time being.
Passing by Baofeng Electric.
I can see customers choosing washing machines from the door. This business is pretty good. It’s okay to put it aside for the time being and focus my main energy on Mango Toy Company. It won’t be too late to expand once I’m done with everything.
…
Kyoko Mochizuki looked at her watch again and found that the agreed time had passed.
She is indeed beautiful and has good grades in school. She is about to pass all the examination subjects and has the hope of obtaining the AICPA certificate next year.
The full name of this organization is "American Institute of Certified Public Accountants". If you are not afraid of being busy, you can go to an accounting firm and get a formal job. The interviewer did not show up for more than 20 minutes after the interview time, which made her feel a little humiliated.
I sat there a little awkwardly, drank the last bit of coffee, stood up and prepared to say we could meet again next time. In fact, my first impression was not very good, so I prepared to leave.
There is most work in the morning.
Small vendors who came to pick up goods and salesmen who sold to other parts of California all swarmed over to register for the goods, and all transactions were in cash.
Another accountant has told this group of people that today is the last batch, and starting from tomorrow they will go to Zhao Dajun and Zhou Nan to discuss getting the goods. The market has been taken over by them.
Overall, Miss Mochizuki Kyoko actually thinks this company is not bad. Although it is small, it has a lot of business. It is not like those lifeless companies with strict bosses and rigid rules and regulations. Secretary Wang is now eating while entering the accounts.
Just as she was about to tell Secretary Wang, she heard a voice behind her.
"Have the people who came for the interview arrived yet...Oh, you are right. My dad just delayed me with something. Let's get started now. If you feel you can accept it, go to work."
Han Chudong stared at her.
As an experienced driver, he scanned Kyoko Mochizuki from bottom to top. She was prettier than he had imagined. Suddenly, he was a little worried that Kamenashi Nigo would take a fancy to her. Wouldn't that be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth? She had fair skin and slightly yellow hair. She was probably mixed-race. She had a high nose bridge. She looked a bit like a combination of Takizawa and a certain actress named Guo. She looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Mixed-race people are not necessarily beautiful, the probability of a beautiful girl or a handsome guy is definitely higher. If it weren't for the good-looking photos, I wouldn't have been chosen by him to arrange this interview yesterday.
When I entered the private office, it was a mess and had never been cleaned up.
Han Chudong rarely came over. He sat down first and then extended his hand, saying, "Please sit down. Graduated from the University of California, Berkeley?"
"Yes, I just graduated this year. Here is my transcript and recommendation letter from my advisor. I have never had a formal job before, and I interned at Deloitte for three months." Ms. Kyoko Mochizuki said stiffly.
She was a little curious. She didn't expect that the so-called toy company boss was so young, and she couldn't guess Han Chudong's real age.
Because he was wearing a suit, he seemed about the same age as me.
Han Chudong is only nineteen years old. White people cannot guess the age of Asians. Last time in Chicago, an agent asked him which university he graduated from, thinking he was in his twenties.
He was actually not interested in transcripts and recommendation letters, but he still looked through them out of politeness.
Suddenly, Han Chudong asked Mochizuki Kyoko an interesting question, "Do you like watching spy and secret agent movies? Would you accept being sent to Sapporo, Japan for a period of time? Of course, I will give you some additional financial compensation, increase your reimbursement ratio, and increase your year-end bonus."
"The gentleman who introduced me to the job has already told me about going to Japan to work. I was born in Nara City and came to the United States with my mother when I was twelve years old. It would be great if I could take the opportunity of working to go back and visit."
She smiled sincerely, probably really wanting to go back and live there for a while, and asked back, "But...spy movies? I think I've only seen 007. James Bond is cool."
The "007" series was released in 1962, and this year has seen the eighth installment, making it one of the most popular film series.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Han Chudong laughed after hearing this.
He wanted to find out whether Kiko Mochizuki was really suitable for the job, but she was so reserved at the moment that he couldn't tell her true character.
"James Bond counts, actually I want to give you an equally cool job, do you know corporate espionage?"
After saying this, seeing her startled, Han Chudong quickly added:
"Don't get me wrong, I just gave my Hokkaido toy agent a lot of autonomy because the interests involved are too huge, possibly millions of dollars, and I'm worried that the other party will falsify the accounts to fool me, so I need to send someone to keep an eye on it, and we can't let the other party notice.
There is absolutely no danger. You just need to be a little careful at work. If you can enter the other party's company, that would be great. If you find any problems, just let me know."
"…You really are selling toys, right? It's not some dangerous business?"
She came here to interview for a serious job, but was also asked to act as a corporate spy. It was their first meeting and she didn't know much about him, so she was inevitably wary and seemed ready to run away at any time.
"Of course. You can get familiar with it first. For this, I am willing to increase the annual salary of 8,400 US dollars. If everything goes well, you can also get the money after joining the company. It will all be yours."
Han Chudong spoke in a relaxed tone, and continued, "You have no work experience. I think it will be difficult to find a better job than this one elsewhere. You can earn more than 10,000 US dollars a year just from me. We have just started our cooperation, and I hope to understand the credibility of my partner. Once I trust him, you can come back and continue to work for me. Don't think that my company is small. In fact, it has a large cash flow. It has just started a business, and I need an excellent accountant to help."
She was definitely satisfied with the salary, which was much higher than she had imagined. She originally thought that with a salary of US$700 a month, she could only get an annual salary of about US$6,000, not to mention the subsidies for overseas work and various living expenses.
She was a smart girl, and her only concern was about security. She said, "You want me to be a secret auditor, right?"
"Almost. I don't know if you've seen the electrical appliance store downstairs. That's also my business. If you're worried, come work here first. We can get to know each other better, and then we'll both feel more at ease..."
