Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 806 Looking for a part-time job

Niu Xiaoqiang and Zhang Xiaolan sat in the back row, and they talked in a low voice before the press conference officially started.

"Xiao Lan, how is the situation with Liu Xue?"

"I went to school to see her twice. She was doing well there, but she was not used to eating."

"What's the atmosphere like at Murphys University?"

"After all, it is a third-rate university, and the learning atmosphere is naturally not as good as that of MIT and Boston University. Fortunately, she specializes in dance. She only needs to dance well. The requirements for cultural courses are not very high, but... "

"But what?"

"But she has a bit of low self-esteem, and I worry that she will become psychologically distorted in the long run."

Niu Xiaoqiang wondered: "Isn't her dancing skills very good? She has won so many awards in China, why should she feel inferior?"

Zhang Xiaolan said with a wry smile: "The inferiority complex I mentioned has nothing to do with dancing, but economic conditions. She was considered a relatively wealthy student in China, but only when she came to the United States did she realize that she belongs to the poor class. The gap is a bit big, and she will naturally feel unbalanced. .”

If rich Chinese families come to the United States, they can only be regarded as the poor class.If you want to live a better life in the United States, at least you must be a middle-class person.

According to Americans, the average annual income of the middle class must be at least [-] US dollars, which is just the standard.The vast majority of wealthy families in China cannot earn so much money.

Of course, the price level and the actual purchasing power of the currency in the two countries are different, but since you have come to the United States, you have to denominate in US dollars.Looking at it this way, if the extremely rare [-]-yuan households in China come to the United States, they will only be slightly better than beggars.

Before Niu Xiaoqiang could speak, Zhang Xiaolan went on to say: "Xiaoqiang, can you implement the plan of investing in the home appliance industry in advance? I want to find a part-time job for Liu Xue, which will allow her to earn pocket money and prevent her from thinking wrong." thought."

Now that Niu Xiaoqiang doesn't even have the rental and decoration expenses of the hunter company, he naturally has no money to invest in the home appliance industry.

He thought for a while and replied: "Go and tell Liu Xue to let her learn English well. If she can pass the assessment, I can arrange a part-time job for her. Although the salary is not as good as that of a regular worker, it is not too low." .”

Niu Xiaoqiang had already discussed with Kai Linna about the recruitment plan of the hunter company. In order to save costs, the hunter company will only recruit college students for part-time jobs in the early stage, and will only recruit regular workers after earning money to build a relatively stable employee team.

Zhang Xiaolan showed embarrassment: "Her English level is difficult to improve in a short period of time, why don't you introduce her to a relatively simple job?"

Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "Is she willing to clean? If she is willing, I can arrange for her."

Cleaning workers are low-end jobs in China, and they are basically done by older people. Liu Xue is young, and her previous living conditions are relatively good. Niu Xiaoqiang is not sure if she is willing.

Zhang Xiaolan thought for a while, nodded slightly and said: "I'll ask her, if she is willing, then I can talk, if not, I can only find another way, by the way, how much is the salary for this job?"

"This part-time job is calculated according to the shift. The salary for a shift is 22 dollars. Based on the normal working days of 330 days in a month, you can earn [-] dollars a month. You can tell her clearly that the area that needs to be cleaned is not large. It's too big, it's mainly an office area, as long as the hygiene is done well."

Zhang Xiaolan hummed: "I'll make it clear to her, how is the money I owe you calculated?"

Niu Xiaoqiang helped Zhang Xiaolan repay thousands of dollars in debt. According to the agreement between the two, the money will be deducted from Zhang Xiaolan's salary.Zhang Xiaolan participated in the artificial intelligence project before and worked for several days. She did not ask how much she was paid at the time.

Niu Xiaoqiang replied with a smile: "The money you owed me has been offset from the salary, and there is still a surplus of [-] US dollars. When the professor receives the follow-up research and development funds, I will pay you the [-] US dollars."

Zhang Xiaolan didn't expect her salary to be so high, she was so happy that she almost jumped up.

Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly held her down, and whispered: "Be careful, there are too many people here, don't get too carried away."

Although it is still very early, many people have already entered the multi-function hall, and the space that could originally accommodate 200 people has almost been crowded.

Zhang Xiaolan hurriedly nodded in agreement, and said in a low voice, "I'll treat you to dinner after I get paid. This was agreed a long time ago, so don't refuse."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded with a smile: "No problem, I will definitely go to the banquet then."

"What do you do? Do you have interview credentials?"

As soon as Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a beard asked very rudely.Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head and found that this person was carrying two large bags, followed by a beautiful woman in professional attire. It seemed that the two should be reporters from a certain news unit.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't give him a good face because the other party's tone was very rude. He frowned and said, "This is the place of MIT. I'm a student of MIT. Do I still need an interview card to come here?"

The bearded beard looked at Zhang Xiaolan: "What about her? Is she also a student at MIT?"

"Although she is not a student of MIT, she has a cooperative relationship with MIT. Both of us were invited by Professor Watson to attend this press conference."

The bearded man originally wanted to occupy the position of the two of them. When he heard that the two were invited by Professor Watson, he looked at them again with suspicious eyes, and then asked, "Is this true?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said lightly: "Does it really have anything to do with you? Don't you just want to occupy a seat? Sorry, we came first, so we won't give up your seat."

After he finished speaking, he was too lazy to talk to the other party, and turned his head to continue chatting with Zhang Xiaolan.

The bearded man originally wanted to bluff and drive the two foreigners away.Seeing that Niu Xiaoqiang was full of momentum, he didn't look like an ordinary foreign student, so he didn't dare to bluff anymore, and honestly found a space in the corridor, and started to set up the camera.

The female reporter who came with him gave Niu Xiaoqiang a hard look, then snorted and went to help.

Niu Xiaoqiang said disdainfully: "You should be tough on these guys, otherwise they will think you are easy to bully and push you hard."

Zhang Xiaolan couldn't help laughing and said: "This is your home stadium, with Professor Watson supporting you, of course you don't have to be afraid."

Niu Xiaoqiang looked at the safe placed next to the rostrum, and said with a smile: "Professor Watson really knows how to create an atmosphere. He actually installed the robot in the safe, which well highlights the high-end image of the robot. I guess he When the safe is opened, the reporters will all be dumbfounded."
