My Age of Investment

  Chapter 120 Lurking

  After visiting Fu's clothing, and accepting Wang Youfu's banquet and sauna reception.

  The next day, Xia Jingxing and the three of them sat on the rented Mercedes-Benz, and visited and inspected suppliers in various places in Zhejiang Province.

  Wang Youfu launched his own network and introduced many factory owners to Xia Jingxing.

  Xia Jingxing also went to investigate one by one, there are good and bad.

  Good or bad here refers to the quality and price, which does not meet the standards of Facebook.

  Some factory owners treat Xia Jingxing completely as a foreigner and charge the same price as a fat sheep.

  Xia Jingxing has never revealed that he is just a Chinese student.

   disguised as a Chinese identity, and really saw a lot of tricks.

  Some boss settled the accounts for him and calculated the cost, saying that the worker’s salary is only two to three thousand yuan a month...

  Xia Jingxing didn't have so much time to entangle, so he just ruled it out, the next one.

  Thomas and Angelina are responsible for selecting products and evaluating product quality.

  The three people spent a week in Zhejiang Province, ran dozens of factories, and finally found a few satisfied partners.

  Facebook's financial staff traveled to Hong Kong and registered a subsidiary of Facebook—Facebook (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. here.

  Domestic taxes in the United States are too high. Facebook is now learning from the giants, and is beginning to intercept profits in overseas branches and subsidiaries instead of returning to the United States.

  If the US parent company needs funds, the overseas subsidiaries can allocate funds to go back.

  In the name of Facebook (Hong Kong), signed supply agreements with several factories. After paying the deposit, Xia Jingxing returned to Chengdu.

  …………

  …………

  In an old teahouse in Rongcheng, Andrew sat on a chair, watching the tea craftsman’s superb tea pouring technique with interest.

A long-mouthed copper pot with a thin mouth nearly 70 cm long is swayed freely in the hands of the tea artist. The performance is like flowing water. When tea is being made, the tea spout is far away from the mouth of the cup, but the tea artists can easily pour the boiling water in the pot. Into the tea guest cup, and will not splash a drop of water.

  Andrew saw this scene and clapped after the other tea guests.

  Retracted his gaze and looked at Xia Jingxing, who was sitting on the chair opposite to him, holding a bowl of tea, and gently flicking the tea with the tea cover. Andrew smiled and said, "This place is really good! You were born here, so happy."

  "How is it better than Chinatown?"

  Andrew shrugged, “Chinatown is small and shabby. People who have just immigrated, and their families are crowded into small rooms, life is a problem.

  If you are a lawyer or a doctor in the mainland and immigrate to the United States, Americans will not recognize your education and qualifications.

  From the upper-middle class, it drops directly to the bottom.

  Don’t say come to the park for tea, it’s nice not to be forced to find short-sightedness.

  I grew up in Chinatown. My father is a lawyer. I have seen many unfortunate immigrant families. I don’t know why they gave up everything and dragged their families to pursue the illusory American dream. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "Believe it or not, you ask those people now, ask them if they want to return to the mainland now, and they don’t want to be killed."

  Andrew nodded, “It’s true that they had to immigrate successfully after so much hardship, and they are definitely not willing to come back.”

  "This is only a shallow reason, but the deeper reason is that you are unwilling to admit failure and admit that you have made a bad choice."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “Many of the people who went out more than ten or twenty years ago were mainland elites.

  The gap between China and the United States was very exaggerated. Even if I went to the United States to be a waiter and serve tea and water, my income would be higher than that of a professor in the mainland.

   However, if the time has been extended to this day, the elites who stayed in the country have become the mainstay of this society. The combination of income, living standards, social respect, etc., may no longer be lower than, or even higher than the group of people who moved out.

  As time goes by, the gap between China and the United States has begun to narrow.

  The group of people who were moved out and the group of people who were not moved out may have to be reversed in all respects. "

"in turn?"

  Xia Jingxing explained, “For example, people who immigrate to the United States, save money in various ways, finally obtain a qualification certificate and become a lawyer or a doctor.

  And their former classmates and friends in China have become the director and dean of the law firm.

  The yellow race has a promotion ceiling in the United States, but not in China.

  The group of people who immigrated to the United States kept their positions in place, while those in the country kept getting promoted.

  China has been continuing the current economic growth rate. The income of doctors and lawyers will only get higher and higher, while the business of businessmen will grow bigger and bigger..."

  Andrew listened carefully and nodded, “Indeed, the people who stayed may have been very hard in the 1980s and 1990s. After entering the new century, everything is getting better.”

  The two chatted, and the performing tea master gradually approached.

  The other party bent over, held the teapot in his hand, and put his long mouth on the shoulder of the tea artist, pouring out a long curved waterline, and poured it into Andrew's teacup without spilling.

  Andrew was shocked when he saw the hot and still smoking boiling water pouring over him. With a strong desire to survive, he leaned back desperately and almost turned the bamboo chair over.

  It was Xia Jingxing who gave him a hand and didn't make a fool of himself.

  The surrounding citizens who were drinking tea laughed loudly when they saw the foreigner so embarrassed.

  After the tea was poured, Andrew realized that he was performing tea art, not to murder himself.

   smiled awkwardly, and took out one hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to the tea master as a tip.

  "Your green card application is not a hassle. We have transferred the funds from Facebook out of the United States in the form of dividends.

  You only need to invest the money back to the United States in your name, and create ten jobs, then you can get an investment green card. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, indicating that she knew it.

  The American Investment Immigration EB-5 program was introduced by the U.S. Congress in 1990, but it was only gradually understood by the Chinese after 2006.

  By 2006, there were only 60 to 70 Chinese investors; by 2012, the number of Chinese investment immigrants had exceeded 6,000.

  After 2015, it is even more exaggerated. There are tens of thousands of applicants in China alone.

  Only 10,000 investment green cards are issued each year in the United States. This number includes applicants and their family members.

  The problem is here. There is a backlog of applications, so I have to queue up. How long is the queue? I heard that in 2020, it will be ten years later.

  And only mainlanders line up. Other regions and countries don’t use it because there are too many mainland applicants.

  Investment green card is applied by one person, spouse and unmarried children under 21 years old can get green card at the same time.

  After the application is successful, you can freely choose to live in any city in the United States, or continue to work and live in China.

  I heard that because the schedule is too long, the children with a family are over 21 years old and cannot be brought in...

  In addition to these, I often hear that I have been scammed by a hacked intermediary and that my investment has gone wrong.

  There are two types of investment immigration, with an investment of US$1 million or US$500,000.

  Invest 500,000 US dollars in regional investment immigrants. Regional immigrants can only invest in the high unemployment rate and rural areas of the United States. This kind of subscription for projects in the United States has a certain high risk.

  Xia Jingxing chose the other one, which is to invest 1 million US dollars to directly invest in immigration. It is indeed to do a project in the United States, start a company, and get a green card with complete information.

But at the beginning, only a two-year conditional green card can be obtained. Only the investment of 1 million US dollars has been entered into the Immigration Bureau’s public account and the employment of more than 10 US citizens can be carried 90 days in advance after the expiration of the two-year investment period. Employment certificate and project asset profit and loss report, and application for cancellation of 2-year investment authority.

  Andrew continued: “I won’t repeat the usefulness of the green card. With a green card, you can stay in the United States legally and you will have a lot of convenience in starting a company and living.”

  Speaking of this, Andrew glanced at Xia Jingxing and pointed out: "As for whether you will be naturalized in the future, you have to decide by yourself."

  Joined the hammer status!

  Xia Jingxing held the tea cup, gently blown the tea leaves, and took a sip.

  He guessed, most probably Andrew had already guessed that he did not want to be naturalized.

  From the details of life and conversations, Xia Jingxing from time to time revealed a kind of contempt and ridicule to the United States and Americans. This person who yearns for a paradise abroad forms a sharp contrast.

  Andrew has handled so many immigration cases, and he can distinguish and feel it naturally.

  But neither of them said it was broken. After all, Old Man John wanted Xia Jingxing to immigrate to the United States and take Facebook to new heights.

  If he knew that he just wanted to catch a hand and ran away, there would probably be contradictions and disagreements again.

  Andrew smiled and looked at Xia Jingxing. He didn't care. He didn't have the high expectations of Old John on Facebook. He could make money. At the same time, he respected everyone's choices.
