Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 647 Heading to America

The end of the year is approaching~ Chen Li first made a summary of the year 2000 for each of his industries, and then arranged a series of work for the coming year.

It is mainly aimed at the problem of employee turnover that is very likely to occur.

To be honest~ The employee benefits of various industries under Ideal are definitely top-notch in the same industry.

However, being top in the industry does not necessarily mean being able to retain people. After all, the service industry is the industry with the most serious loss of personnel.

But this is also normal. After all, no matter how good the waiter is, no matter how generous the boss is, Chen Li, it is impossible for him to offer the other party a salary comparable to that of the management industry.

And people want to go to a higher place. Many people just come to this industry to make a transition, to accumulate work and social experience, and then to try to find a new starting point.

So every new year is a reshuffle for the service industry.

It is better to have one or two stores alone. Even if there is a loss of personnel, it is easy to find supplementary personnel.

However, for a chain enterprise like Ideal Catering, every new year means a large loss of personnel. However, Ideal Catering has higher requirements for employees than the general service industry, so every Spring Festival is actually a small test. .

But fortunately, the company's training department already has its own system, coupled with the high remuneration given by the company, so even if there are some minor problems, it doesn't matter overall.

Moreover, this kind of problem mainly occurs on the side of Ideal Foods. Although the problem of personnel loss in other industries also exists, it is not serious.

After all, the benefits of Ideal Company are there. If the starting point of the service industry is not too low, it is estimated that even Ideal Foods will not have such a problem.

After solving these matters, Chen Li bid farewell to his girlfriend and set off from Yanjing Airport to America on the other side of the ocean.

This is the first time he is not at home for the New Year since he was reborn.

In fact, according to Chen Li's previous thinking, the sky is big and the earth is big ~ the family is the biggest, so Chen Li at that time never thought about working during the Spring Festival.

At that time, Chen's ideal was very simple, he was reborn~ and there was a system, if he still had to work hard during the Spring Festival, wouldn't that be a bit of a failure?

But the reality has taught Chen Li severely. With the development of the company, even if he has double buffs, he still has to make compromises on many things.

There is no way ~ people. We must be responsible!

Chen Li himself can live willfully, but now behind him there is a large group of people who are begging for life with him.

It doesn't matter how he wants to live, but he can't affect this large group of people because of his willfulness.

At least ~ not at this stage!
The company is developing at a high speed. The boss Chen Li doesn't say that he has made any major contributions to the development of the company, but at least he can't hold him back, right?

So there are some things, Chen Li must come forward, and it can only be him.

After all~ Even if Chen Ideal wants to be an invisible boss, the premise is that he has the qualifications to be invisible.

The current ideal group is not yet at the time when Chen Li is the shopkeeper~invisible boss!
Therefore, this trip to the United States, Chen Li had to go!

The preparations for going to the United States went very smoothly, and it was extremely easy for Chen Li to get a visa.

Uh~ Well, in fact, the United States never refuses rich people to go, unless... you are not rich enough.

Of course~ Chen Li must be considered a rich man, not to mention that it is only 2001, even 20 years later, with Chen Li's current worth, he can be considered a rich man.

This point~ Brother Xiao Ma in the previous life is incomparable. It is said that this buddy was directly rejected when he went to the United States.

If Zeng Liqing, who looked like a rich man, hadn't helped negotiate a peace, it is estimated that Xiao Ma would not have been able to get a visa at that time.

Of course~ Chen Li believes that even if Brother Xiao Ma was rejected at that time, he would definitely be able to handle that matter later, but this shows that Brother Xiao Ma at that time must not be rich enough.

After all, at that time, Tengxun was facing the dilemma of transformation, and Tengxun was not listed. At best, Xiao Ma could only be regarded as an entrepreneur in the domestic Internet industry.

Even though Tengxun's valuation at that time had already reached a fairly large value, but when people said that they refused to sign, they refused the visa for Xiao Ma.

When it came to Chen Li's side, he didn't even show up, and directly handed over the materials that should be prepared to Zhang Ruolan, and then the visa came out.

Before, Chen Li thought that he was going to the embassy or something, but he didn't expect that he didn't need it at all.

This was quite beyond Chen Li's expectations. You must know that visas in the United States are notoriously difficult to get!

So~ It’s not that the visas of the United States are difficult to get, but that the other party’s conditions for issuing visas are different!
A rich man like Chen Li, as long as he is willing to go~ the other party is definitely looking forward to it, how can he set up obstacles for this?
Of course~ Maybe Goldman Sachs is partly responsible for this, after all, the visas of Chen Li and his party were actually handled by the staff of Goldman Sachs.

In short, Chen Li's trip to the United States was quite smooth before arriving in the United States.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the flight from Yanjing to New York has not yet arrived directly, so I have to go to the Shanghai Metro for a while.

Correspondingly, the flight time was also lengthened. Although Chen Li sat in the first class cabin, the first class cabin on the plane was actually the same.

It's not that first class is uncomfortable, but long flights are not comfortable for anyone.

Fortunately, Chen Li has the system space. Although Chen Li is already a bit tired of staying in the system space, it is more comfortable in the system space than in the closed airplane space.

After a long flight and some delays in San Francisco, the flight finally arrived at its destination, New York.

But as soon as we got off the plane~ something happened that made Chen Li dissatisfied, because...he was investigated!

In fact, it is a very normal thing to travel across borders and be inspected when entering the customs.

So at the beginning, Chen Li didn't have any emotions about the other party's request for inspection.

He is not a noble person, wherever he goes, it is natural to abide by the local laws.

But I have to say~ In fact, this kind of situation is not common, because~ Chen Li is sitting in first class.

To be honest~ It doesn't mean that people who fly first class can avoid inspections as they should.

But what to say?

Generally speaking, first-class air tickets are four to five times more expensive than ordinary air tickets.

Therefore, most people at the customs will think that if a person is willing to spend so much money to buy a first-class air ticket, then there is no need for him to bring something he should not bring in order to save a little money.

Of course~ this is not a rule, nor is it a 100% thing, but first-class passengers are indeed the least likely to be randomly checked among all passengers.

Chen Li was in first class, but that doesn't mean he won't be investigated.

And Chen Li is very clear~ he is a Chinese, and it is quite common for Chinese people to receive special treatment in the United States these days.

So~ he really didn't care much about being randomly checked.

Some things are simply not something that he can reverse right now. As long as the other party acts in accordance with the rules and regulations, he will not have any extra thoughts.

But the problem is precisely here~ The other party does not intend to follow the rules and regulations!
As soon as the other party came up, he aggressively determined that Chen Li and his party were carrying prohibited items, and then directly started to touch Zhang Ruolan when Zhang Ruolan argued.

Naturally, this Chen Li couldn't bear it, so he not only refuted it~ he even tried to obstruct the other party's behavior.

In the previous life on the Internet, there was a saying that when the police in the United States ask you, it is best not to refuse the other party's request.

The other party asks you to lie on your stomach~ You'd better lie on your stomach, and the other party asks you to put your hands on your head~ You'd better listen to what the other party says!

But when you encounter such a thing, it is actually very difficult for you to really do it!
Especially when the opponent's two burly men attacked Zhang Ruolan and a woman, if Chen Lizhen didn't stop the opponent~ then he really wouldn't be a man.

Well~ Some people may say that Chen Li is impulsive, but as far as the other party is concerned, it is clear that he is here to find fault~ To be honest, it is hard for Chen Li not to be impulsive.

Of course~ Even if Chen Li made a move, he only blocked the other party's impolite behavior towards Zhang Ruolan, he did not fight the other party.

After all~ he's not stupid, if he really did that~ if the magazine is emptied by the opponent, then it will be the end of the calf.

Then Chen Li and his party were taken to a small room, commonly known as a small black room.

When we got here~ Chen Li didn't want to talk anymore, he asked the other party to call his lawyer.

Well~ In fact, Chen Li does not have a lawyer in the United States, but Mu Xiaoqing met a lot of lawyers in the United States before. Chen Li believes that as long as he makes a phone call to Mu Xiaoqing, this problem will be resolved quickly. .

No matter how bad it is~ call the people at Goldman Sachs, and they will definitely be able to solve this matter there.

It's just that what Chen didn't expect is that non-American citizens who apply for entry do not have the right to meet with lawyers or representatives when they undergo immigration inspection.

Unless the applicant faces a criminal investigation and is taken into custody.Generally speaking, the non-controversial legitimate rights and interests enjoyed by the parties at the scene are limited to complaints, requests for translation assistance, and refusal to sign.

So~ Chen Li's request was met with disregard by the other party!

To be honest~ Chen Li was a bit dumbfounded at this moment, after all, in his mind~ at such a time, it seems that a lawyer should come forward~ and then slap the other party's face hard.

But the fact is that Chen Li never had the opportunity to make a phone call, and naturally it was impossible for him to receive any fair, just and open treatment.

The other party's attitude was very "fierce", and even slapped the table and yelled loudly in front of Chen Li at one point, but Chen Li restrained his previous attitude at this time, no matter what the other party asked, Chen Li would no longer answer the other party's questions .

From beginning to end~Chen Li has only one sentence
"I need the assistance of a staff member who understands Chinese!"

Alright~ In fact, Chen Li already knew that he didn't have this right before entering the country, so he was actually delaying time.

He is very clear about the tricks of these people. If the other party really wants to do something, he might set some traps for himself in terms of language. At that time, if he speaks out and doesn't answer well, he will end up in the end. Most likely it won't get better!
So~he needs to stall for time, and the people who dragged to Goldman Sachs to pick him up know what's going on here.

He believed that people from Goldman Sachs would help him solve this matter. After all, Chen Li was still an important partner for Goldman Sachs.

Moreover, Chen Li believes that ~ in a capitalist country like the United States, a large group company like Goldman Sachs has a say in the United States that is definitely not comparable to that of the customs.

Of course~ if Chen Li really did something prohibited, then things might be more difficult to deal with, but if Chen Li did nothing~ that would be another matter.

To be honest~ If Chen Li in his previous life encountered this kind of scene, he would probably have been terrified. But now, although Chen Li is a little bit flustered, generally speaking, Chen Li is not guilty at all.

To put it bluntly ~ as long as he doesn't mess around, the big deal is that he will be sent back to his country, and he will go back!
And Chen Li is sure of one thing~ that is the other party's inspection procedures. It definitely does not meet the relevant regulations.

After all, the other party didn't say anything when they came up, and they just started to use their hands when they came up?

To put it bluntly~ It's not because Chen Li and his party are all Chinese faces, subconsciously want to show off their might and "check".

This kind of thing~ Chen Li has seen many things on the Internet in his previous life, although it is not easy to tell whether it is true or not~ but the fact that there are so many movements~ also proves that this kind of thing is definitely real.

Generally speaking, when encountering such a thing, most people tend to swallow their anger.

After all, we are in a foreign country, and it is the right of the other party to inspect the matter, so even if some people are treated unfairly, they will often only choose to endure!
Of course~ There are also some people who choose to fight, but the experience of this part of people is not very good!

After all, for ordinary people, compared with the so-called state apparatus~ it is too weak.

To put it bluntly~ the other party can find any excuse, and if they fail, they can send you back to the country, even if you win the fight in the end. In fact, it doesn't make any sense!
But Chen Li is different~ In fact, from the very beginning, he was not very willing to come to America.

If he didn't need to increase some capital now, he wouldn't even show up at all.

So ~ as long as Chen Li doesn't mess around ~ as for things like repatriation ~ he is really not afraid!
And Chen Li believes that as long as he is willing to pay, there will definitely be an American lawyer to help him seek justice.

Coincidentally~ what Chen Li lacks most now is money, so although Chen Li is a little flustered now, he is not in vain at all.

On the opposite side of him, a burly man in uniform had already checked Chen Li's luggage. Of course, nothing could be found during the check.

Speaking of it~ Chen Li actually carried some things that shouldn't be carried, don't get me wrong~ It's not dangerous items, but some seasonings!
But these things are all placed in the system space, there is no way~ When he went to the island country before, he was really fed up with the so-called exotic food.

This time in the United States, Chen Li needs to stay for about a week, so Chen Li deliberately put some seasonings in the space. With these seasonings~ Chen Li basically doesn't have to worry about eating.

Therefore, it was simply impossible for the other party to find any problems with Chen Li's luggage.

And at this time~ a staff member in uniform suddenly walked over to the side, the other party whispered something to the staff member in front of Chen Li, then saw the other party nodded, looked at Chen Li and said:
"Sir~ I don't have any problems here!"

"Welcome to America!"
