Chapter 360

New York, Wall Street has a global reputation.

But few people know that turning right from the south end of Wall Street is another world.

There are few people going in and out, and it's also a habitat for Chinese in New York.

In 1900, there were only 6000 Chinese here.

But by 1932, there were more than 20000 Chinese here.

The streets are smooth dirt roads, and most of the houses are of concrete structure. There are three, four and five floors.

New York was the first group of Chinese immigrants who arrived here in 1848.

Around Chinatown, there are Jewish neighborhoods, Puerto Rican (Indian) neighborhoods, and Italian immigrant neighborhoods.

Because of its early arrival, and the rapid development of New York, people from eastern Guangdong and Hong Kong are here, with flexible minds, so they all have a good life.

It's like an independent kingdom. Many people have lived in this small world for half their lives by virtue of their dialects.

Each ethnic minority district is an independent kingdom, which does not interfere with each other and has a strong folk custom.

It's really hard to understand the complexity of being in America.

Like Yan Yan, she is working in an auto parts factory, which is full of Israeli immigrants. They can only speak ancient Yiddish.

Thanks to this experience, she learned the daily communication of this ancient language.

She also learned Cantonese and Hakka as well as the woman who washed dishes in the restaurant.

From time to time, there will be new immigrants, into these yearning places.

My mind is full of dreams of living in a foreign house, driving a foreign car and marrying a foreign woman.

Chinatown is no exception. A group of new immigrants arrived here in February.

"Young boy, you work!" They just walked in and they met the boss who was going to hire.

In particular, the strong half of the boy, the most people were questioned.

"How much labor Zhao a Si is also one of them. Seeing the enthusiasm of his compatriots, he feels that his dream is closer to reality.

"It's all my own. I won't treat you badly. It's not right." Zhao a si so muddleheaded by the enthusiastic boss to pull away.

He worked 13 hours a day and was paid 10 cents a day.

The most important thing in the hotel is leftovers.

Accommodation is a 5-square meter room, with bed board and iron pole set up three layers of wood, each layer sleeping 3-4 people.

If you do something wrong, you should deduct money, such as breaking things, making mistakes in dishes and offending guests.

Heard the boss finish, can give Zhao a four happy bad, 8 yuan ocean monthly salary, in his hometown he is not earned in a lifetime!

Zhao a-Si felt strong all over, so he went into the kitchen to wash dishes, boil water, wash vegetables and deliver meals. The more dry they were, the more energetic they were.

At the end of the month, he also got his salary smoothly. He went back to the house to take the money and counted it over and over again. He was reluctant to let go.

"Are you happy?" From the upper bunk came a lazy laugh: "idiot."

"What do you say?" Zhao a Si sat up and said with a black face.

"I said you were an idiot." The voice of the upper bunk raised: "if you go out from here, you can live for a week at most, and you think you've made a lot of money, ha --"

the cognition of Zhao a Si has been impacted. For him who is illiterate, there is an ocean that is rich people. How can eight dollars be less? "

……

……

Before Gulfstream one returned from China, Li and his fiancee chose to take a cruise to Honolulu.

"Oh, my God, that's terrible." When she learned from her fiance that the salary of the Chinese laborer was only $3, Adelaide was surprised.

However, this is not illegal. In this era of no minimum wage and maximum working hours, all treaties must be signed by both employers and employees.

However, in the "independent kingdoms", it is ironic that the trade unions that should protect workers are in the hands of the employers.

"Yes Li Zitao did not know what he felt when he said this sentence.

At a.o. Smith, pigs without status can get $8, which was three years ago.

At present, ordinary workers in a.o. Smith field can earn $26 a month as long as they are willing to work.

According to think tanks, wages in Chinatown have always been at the bottom.

Three years ago, the salary of Jinjiang hotel was $1.40 per month. At last, the employees protested and won the salary of $3.

Since then, they haven't moved any more. It's clear that no one will hire them when they go out.

Unless we dig for gold and build railways.

But these two kinds of work are life-threatening. If you dig for gold or not, you can tell whether you have a life or not, no one knows.

The railway and Chinese laborers will be sent to the most difficult sections to repair. I don't know how many corpses of Chinese laborers have been buried under the central railway in the west, so it's impossible to earn money.If the think tank had not made a special investigation on the flow of donations, Li Zitao would not have known about this situation.

Of course, in 1932, it was good to have a job.

As of 1932, 34 million adult men in the United States were unemployed, according to reporters.

This does not include the 11 million farmers and cowboys in the countryside, whose livelihood can only rely on various kinds of relief.

All stock prices on the stock market have fallen to waste paper, even Morgan and Rockefeller have felt the cold winter.

UUS only sold 201 motorcycles in 14 months.

Before the great depression, it sold 600 vehicles a year.

The same impact has also affected the automotive industry and aviation sector. The latest briefing of the think tank is bleak and dark.

The BMW 309 series has sold only 116 units in the nine months since it was released.

American aerospace, which merged United Airlines, saw another 8% drop in passenger traffic.

Since the beginning of the great depression, the total drop is 42%.

From the beginning of the year to now, three automobile manufacturers of the same size as Cadillac have applied for bankruptcy.

More than 5000 banks in China have gone bankrupt and liquidation, and nearly 70000 of all walks of life have closed down.

Thanks to Hoover Dam and desert town transportation, ACE, whose profits showed an increase, was once again slapped back to its original place and kept losing money consistently.

"Hoover rings the bell, wall street sends a signal, America rushes to hell --" Adelaide puts her hand on her chest, feeling breathless.

She could understand that she chose to keep the market free at first.

But now the national economy of the United States can be described as erosion. If it goes on like this, even the root will be destroyed, and Washington has not yet taken action?

"Maybe our president is thinking about how to survive the next few months and leave the mess to his successor."

Campaign speeches have begun everywhere, and think tanks have sent 23 people to think tanks.

Mahdi, who was good at legal affairs and Maiton, who was good at finance and economy, helped Roosevelt formally join the presidential election.
