Jacob Logan is 35 years old this year. He graduated from the famous University of California, Berkeley. After graduation, he successfully joined Citibank, the largest bank in the United States.
Jacob Logan, who had just entered the society, was full of energy and ambition. In his opinion, with the knowledge he learned in school, he would be able to do outstanding results in his job and eventually become a senior executive of the largest bank in the United States.
However, there is always an insurmountable gap between dreams and reality. Jacob, who was once very outstanding in school, found out after entering the society that the campus and society are very different.
It cannot be said that everything learned in school is useless in society, but there are very few things that can actually be used, which makes Jacob feel very confused.
Especially working in a company like Citibank where competition is extremely fierce, the hardships involved were something Jacob had never imagined before.
The financial industry is the backbone of the U.S. economy, so the competition in this industry is so fierce that outsiders cannot imagine it. Working in this industry can certainly allow you to earn wealth that ordinary people can hardly reach, but at the same time, you will also pay a lot.
Because this industry only needs elites. Anyone who cannot adapt to the competition in this industry will be ruthlessly eliminated, no matter how outstanding you were in the past.
Jacob was one of the people who was almost eliminated. Although Jacob was a bit unlucky, he had a very good character, that is, he never gave up.
It was precisely because of his character that he was able to stay in this industry in the end, but at the same time, like most people, he became a settled employee in this bank.
In an absolutely pyramid-shaped enterprise like Citibank, everyone is an elite, but there are only a handful of people who can truly stand at the top of the pyramid. This requires not only sufficient professional knowledge, but also extremely good communication skills and the ability to handle things. Of course, a little bit of luck is also needed...
Jacob Logan's professional knowledge is beyond doubt, and his master's degree in economics from the University of California, Berkeley is definitely not in vain. Moreover, Jacob, who was once the backbone of two clubs in school, has never lacked social skills and the ability to deal with things. But what he lacks is a little bit of illusory luck, so after a full ten years since graduation, he has only managed to become a junior private account manager at the San Francisco branch of Citibank.
More than half a month ago, Mr. Jacob Logan had a new client. According to the personal information provided by this client, this client was a Chinese who had just arrived in San Francisco from China.
When Jacob saw that there was an extra three million dollars in the client's account, he already understood the purpose of this newly arrived Chinese coming to the United States.
Nine out of ten people come here to immigrate!
Having worked in this bank for ten years, although he had not been promoted due to a little bit of luck, Mr. Jacob Logan had already developed a pair of sharp eyes.
He had encountered many such situations before.
As the world's only superpower, the United States has always been a paradise envied by many developing countries. Residents of these developing countries who have a little ability or wealth can't wait to immigrate to the great United States of America.
But is the great United States of America a country where it is easy to immigrate to?
If it was during the 1990s, when the U.S. economy was growing at its fastest rate, it might have been easier to process investment immigration. After all, the U.S. economic growth rate was very high at that time, and those guys in the White House who were just sitting there doing nothing liked to issue green cards indiscriminately. As a result, an average of more than 120,000 green cards were issued by those guys in the Immigration Bureau every year in those years, and no one knew how many illegal immigrants there were.
However, with the bursting of the Internet bubble at the turn of the century, followed by the 9/11 incident and the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, the US economy fell into a quagmire.
Due to the weak economy, those guys in the White House naturally cannot issue green cards as unscrupulously as before, so in the past few years, the Immigration Bureau has only issued an average of 60,000 green cards per year.
The economy is not doing well and employment is sluggish. If more foreign immigrants come to compete with American citizens for jobs, do you still want to sit in the White House?
It is precisely because of this situation that even with the United States Immigration and Naturalization Act, it is hard to say whether an investment of one million dollars, let alone half a million dollars, can pass the review of the Immigration Bureau.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to immigrate to the United States through investment.
Jacob has dealt with many clients like this in the past ten years, and only a few of them were lucky enough to pass the Immigration Bureau's review and get green cards. When most of these clients first came, they had a lot of US dollars in their bank cards, ranging from 600,000 to 700,000 or 1 to 2 million. But in the end, most of these clients disappeared.
Either they went back home, or they stayed secretly and became a shameful illegal immigrant.
Jacob Logan even once maliciously thought that most of the people from the country on the other side of the ocean should have stayed secretly.
These people are really strange. You live a good life in your own country, but have to come to the United States to live a sneaky life under the cover of shame. Why is that?
Do you really think this kind of life is easy? No insurance, no housing, and even can't apply for a bank card. Tell me, isn't your life frustrating?
