    If you look down from the sky, the Newark area on the other side of the Hudson River looks like an ugly patch of moss, dotted with "matchboxes" squeezed into a pile, stretching for dozens of kilometers.  Since the economic crisis, a large number of New Yorkers have had their houses taken away by banks because they were bankrupt and unable to repay their loans. In addition, Manhattan and Long Island are both famously expensive and wealthy areas, so in the end they had no choice but to move here and rely on tin houses and tents to become new cities."  Scavenger¡±.

    Adults will go to the other side to try their luck whenever they have free time, children drop out of school and help collect all the garbage and metal that can be sold to support the family, and women go to the countryside to pick wild fruits and mushroom clumps.  This is America now, an America that has lost its dreams, future, and color. Everyone is at a loss, confused, and living numbly just to fill their stomachs every day.

    The Red Cross relief office in the early morning was crowded with people, including adults who had lost their jobs and children who were all alone holding their jobs.  Many of them still don't understand why the prosperous and powerful United States became so bad overnight. Even when they casually glance at the island of Manhattan, they are filled with unbearable pain.

    Everyone is praying and dreaming of superheroes to solve the disaster!

    But who else can save the United States now?  We once fantasized about Britain and France, but their approach of raising tariffs, closing markets, and relying on huge colonies to build the pound zone and the franc zone was more of adding insult to injury than mitigating the crisis.  Later, everyone fantasized about the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union wanted investment rather than imports.  However, China, which was originally rumored to be actively rescuing the market and placing huge orders was hit by domestic disasters.  Their president has yet to come.

    As for Japan and Germany, it is even more hopeless.  Their economic crisis is worse than that of the United States.

    what can we do about it?  When the United States, which had always thought that it was the strongest in the world, needed help from its friends, the Americans discovered that more than half of the world was actually still under the control of Britain and France. They would not allow anyone in their controlled areas to stand up and help the United States, even if  Throwing out millions of orders to the United States has become extremely stingy!

    But at the darkest moment, a bright light suddenly emanated from Newport, which was so dazzling that it even made people excited.

    ¡°$41.3 million in sweeping orders! Is this true?¡± People in line whispered, all talking about the big news that exploded out of Newport.  Although the newspaper said that they only bought some second-hand boats and did not stimulate the economy much, it could not stop everyone from continuing to imagine.  Ifif that person really brought in billions of orders, would he be able to work again?

    "God. I'll do it for $10 a week!"

    "Do they need sailors?"

    "Peter, if you want, you can immigrate to the Soviet Union. I heard that many people have applied to immigrate to the Soviet Union."

    ¡°The Soviet Union? No. I will not work for a dictatorship!¡±

    "Stop dreaming, those people escaped from Russia after the war and are just going home now."

    ¡­The diminutive Lilienfeld, wearing glasses and huddled among the crowd, was an engineer for the Foster Telephone Company.  This used to be an enviable job, but because the boss was overburdened by the stock market crash, the company was seized by the bank and he lost his job instantly.  Originally, he planned to teach at a university, but thousands of students began to drop out of school during the Great Depression. The school was only willing to keep the top talents in order to protect itself. People like him had no hope at all.

    " From the enviable middle class to abject poverty overnight, this gap is unimaginable to ordinary people.  Many of his colleagues divorced or committed suicide.  Therefore, he did not speak to the discussions around him. Although he also wanted to resume work, he always felt that China was too far away. What his wife and three children needed was food rather than fantasy.

    Lilienfeld slowly moved forward with the snail-like crowd. Just as he was thinking about whether to go to Washington to try his luck and find a new job after receiving this gift, he suddenly felt someone bumped him. He raised his head and looked around.  Only then did I realize that many people were leaning out and looking forward.  "What happened?" Lilienfeld asked the painter behind him. The latter pointed to the front and said in surprise: "Look over there."

    Lilienfeld quickly pointed in the direction and saw two black cars parked in front.  Next to the car, several yellow men and two Americans who looked like lawyers were walking toward the team.  They seemed to be looking for something and kept asking everyone in the queue.

    "Hey, man, do you think they are Chinese? Maybe they are looking for a painter to paint the ship." The big painter behind him was an optimist, but Lilienfeld shook his head.  Boat painter what a joke.

    But just when he was about to shrink his neck and queue up calmly, those people suddenly walked towards him.  "Mr. Lilienfeld? Are you Lilienfeld, the engineer from Foster's Company?" Several people wereA young man of about twenty years old.  His speech was a bit jerky, he was dressed like the Chinese students who filled the campus before the disaster, and he looked as if he was very excited to find himself.  This made Lilienfeld a little nervous and asked: "I am, what can I do?"

    "Hello, sir, don't be nervous. We are Chinese students at Pennsylvania State University. We are here to represent my country's Global Electronics Company. Please serve as the company's electrical engineer." It seems that Lilienfeld can be found to ask these Chinese The student was very excited and hurriedly took out a lot of supporting documents from his bag and handed them to the lawyer next to him.

    Both lawyers are authentic Americans. They probably haven¡¯t met such a big client for a long time, so they are very active.  He took the document and turned to the key page and handed it to Lilienfeld: "Mr. Lilienfeld, we are lawyers from a New York law firm. My name is Tony, and this is my colleague Chuck." The lawyer named Tony  Holding documents in hand, he explained to him the authenticity and legal certification of Global Communications Electronics Company, and also showed him a labor permit issued by the U.S. government.

    said: "Mr. Lilienfeld, we can prove that these Chinese friends are not joking. They are indeed here to invite you."

    "Please rest assured, our company is willing to pay you US$400 per month to hire you as an electrical engineer." The young man probably wanted to complete the task too much, so he offered the price before Lilienfeld could say anything.  But maybe he doesn't understand it himself.  What $300 a month means!  This number immediately silenced the surroundings, and countless pairs of eyes began to flash with a faint light in an instant.

    "A monthly salary of US$400? Ask me to be an electrical engineer?" Lilienfeld was completely dumbfounded.  It's not that he doesn't believe the other party, on the contrary, he believes in Tony very much, because the New York law firm has a history of seventy years and is so famous that almost everyone in the country does not know about it.  What really confused him was the high salary of US$400 per month!  You know, even before the catastrophe, the annual income of an average American doctor was only about US$2,000, and a Model T car cost US$200.

    At this price, it is equivalent to US$4,800 per year!  God, the salary is more than two doctors!

    No wonder there are breathing sounds everywhere.  The big painter was even more envious. He hugged Lilienfeld and introduced himself: "Hi, are you from China? I am Mr. Lilienfeld's younger brother, haha  He's a painting engineer. Can I go with him? Fifty, no $30 a week will do."

    "Ha ha"

    The people around burst into laughter, and the young man knew that this guy was a jobber. He shook his head politely and said, "I'm very sorry. If you are a chemical engineer and have three years of work experience, I can offer you $300 per month."

    Of course the big man is not a chemical engineer, but the eyes of some people next to him lit up.  Shouting, ¡°Hey, do you need a mechanical engineer?¡±

    ¡°I majored in biology and worked in a pharmaceutical company for five years.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­.¡±

    The enviable salary instantly attracted hundreds of skilled onlookers, and inquiries came one after another.  Lilienfeld was already moved.  But there was one thing he couldn't figure out: "Sorry, I, I want to ask why? There are many, many people with better skills than me."

    The young man did not hide anything and nodded to Tony, who took out a power of attorney and said: "Mr. Lilienfeld, congratulations. They are interested in your transistor patent. As long as you sign the patent transfer contract, you will not only  You can get a patent fee of US$1,000, and you can also get a five-year job opportunity at the price just now. Of course, your wife and children can go to Shanghai to live. This is the admission notice of Shanghai Baohua Middle School. Your three children can  Studying in this school is free. And you don¡¯t have to worry about education or language barriers because half of the teachers in this middle school are Americans.¡±

    People around him were speechless. What is the most important thing to people like them who have families?  Wife and children!  There are still many people who hesitate to abandon their wives and go to distant China and the Soviet Union for high wages.  But now that people have directly arranged school and life, what else is there to worry about?

    As for turmoil?  God.  Is there any place more dangerous than America right now?  What's more, China is not the Soviet Union. They were once allies of the United States and a democratic country.

    Lilienfeld was even more surprised because he didn¡¯t expect that the other party actually wanted the useless transistor patent registered last year!  Being an honest man, he didn't want to let the other party suffer, so he spread his hands and said, "Sorry, maybe I should make it clear first. This patentnot to mention you, even the United States cannot achieve industrialization because of its restrictions on purity and materials.  The requirements are too high! Even if I can solve it, the internal design has great flaws and cannot match current electronic equipment at all."

    "We know, that's why we asked you to go back and study it together." The man smiled.?Spread out the contract: "Mr. Lilienfeld, would you like to go back and discuss it with your family? You can use our car."

    Since people were willing to buy garbage, Lillianfeld, who was in desperate need of money, simply stopped talking and walked towards the car.

    When the car started, those people who had inquired about the price suddenly remembered something and started chasing the car.  $400 per month!  ***,Fight!  "Hey, hey! Wait a minute, I only need $300. Guys tell me how to get in touch; look at my design"

    The cars driving faster and faster made many people stop in disappointment and regretted why they didn¡¯t promote themselves just now.  Just when everyone was envious of Lillianfeld's good luck and regretted that they did not seize the opportunity, a bicycle suddenly rushed into the crowd. Before anyone could scold this daredevil, the guy had climbed onto the gasoline drum holding water and shouted loudly.  Shout: "Guys! Good news! A good news."

    The daredevil jumped and shouted on the gasoline barrel. When everyone gathered around, he suddenly pulled out a newspaper from his back, opened it to the sun and shouted: "Look at this!"

    The newspaper was the New York Times that everyone was familiar with, but when it was spread out, everyone gasped.  Because everyone discovered that the usually serious and serious front page of the newspaper was actually occupied by a large advertisement. There were neither photos nor beauties on the advertisement, only a single line of huge black text.

    "We are from China, we need technicians! We need engineers! We need teachers! If you have confidence in yourself, if you hope that your children can continue to study for free, you hope to take hot baths every day, and you hope to buy perfume and fashion for your wife. Then,  There are 50,000 job opportunities with an annual salary of $2,000 waiting for you to choose!¡ª¡ª

    Starting from August 1, 5 cities across the United States will be recruiting simultaneously, at locations  "

    50,000!  Everyone's eyes suddenly opened up!.
