American Fortune Life

Chapter 1639: That light of hope

A report released by the US government shows that the number of people in the United States who continue to apply for unemployment benefits has reached a record 498,700, which adds to the worries of the declining employment situation in the United States.

On the 16th the day before, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke just warned everyone that the U.S. unemployment rate should exceed 8% in the next few months. At present, the U.S. unemployment rate has reached a 16-year high of 7%. Point six.

Since the US economy fell into recession at the end of 2007, at least 3.6 million jobs have been lost in the United States, half of which have occurred in the past three months.

New York City, which has always been the "financial capital", has been hit hard. The unemployment rate in New York City is as high as 7.4%. Local officials predict that New York will lose at least 65,000 financial positions in this round of economic recession. .

Speaking of New York, people often hear the phrase: "Great, but I hate living there."

In the eyes of tourists, New York is always a desirable place. Lifting off the luxurious and glamorous appearance, this highly developed capitalist city also shows its old side, a kind of old that is full of depression.

Residents of New York are foreigners who leave their homes, enter the city, seek asylum, seek to show, or seek some big or small goals. A mysterious feature of New York is its ability to distribute such ambiguous gifts. It can destroy a person or fulfill him, to a large extent depends on luck. Unless you're willing to try your luck, it's best not to come to New York.

At night, the streets of Midtown Manhattan have banks, companies, shops, and offices. The high-rise towers the night sky, like steep mountains, and the walls are transparent glass, like the Crystal Palace.

Colorful street lights flicker, far and near, high and low, appearing from time to time, just like floating in a starry sky. The car was passing by like a wind and a dragon, and the tail lights on the car continued to stretch into the distance like countless red ribbons.

On a cold winter night, sitting on the street corner was a middle-aged black man wearing a semi-circular woolen hat and a black overcoat collar, leaning his waist and half-closed eyes. Pedestrians flowed around him like a stream of water, flashing lights passing in front of him.

No one looked at him, nor did he look at anyone. Just sitting there indifferently. No one needs him to do anything. He is sitting on this lively street, sitting in the middle of the crowd, he has nothing to do with the street, nothing to do with people. But he is alive and a living person.

Does he have a home? Do you have a wife? Do you have children?

He had all this before, and now it is gone. He was alone, a house, a small empty house.

He was also proud in the love scene, half-life love, he was once a millionaire, but now he has no place for himself.

Recollecting the glory of the past, cursing the sadness of today.

Higudman, who had previously worked as the director of investment banking at Fargo in Wales, tightened the scarf around his neck, picked up a bag of bread, and leaned against the wall. He stood up tiredly for another day, from Since the day he was laid off, he has been busy looking for work.

For an interview of about 3 to 5 minutes, he has to line up for 2 hours for this purpose. How could he endure such treatment in the past?

However, that is only the past. Now he is just an unemployed, a family broken, and a loser who needs to pay child support.

"Damn subprime crisis, **** economic crisis ..."

The unique ability of the black man made his curse and shattered thoughts full of rhythm. He slowly walked to his only small apartment, walked to the corner of the street, looked back at the bustling night view of Manhattan, his lips trembled A few times, his eyes were full of sadness and unwillingness.

"Farewell, Manhattan, I really have no intention of staying here long."

Stepping on the creaking wooden stairs, came to the door of his apartment, found the key to open the door, turned on the light, and watched the living room with only a sofa and a TV, a dining table, and Goldman walked away with a smile Go in and close the door.

Go to the table, put a bag of bread and jam on the table, pick up the remote control, turn on the TV, this is the only entertainment he has left.

"... What I said was to remind the current government not to make radical decisions about who to go beyond, not to be fooled by the halo of the Roosevelt New Deal, when President Roosevelt made liberalism Major change ... "

Goldman watched Andy Smith in the TV picture, his eyes flickered and his mood was extremely complicated. Before, he had the honor to have a brief exchange with Andy Smith, a super rich, at a reception, although it was a heavenly one before. The underground gap is just farther away now, because he is already in hell.

Watching the young and handsome super-rich talking on TV, Goldman shook his head and laughed, losing his interest in watching. What he wanted was to limit the power of the government. What he needed was a job opportunity.

He walked into the bedroom, dragged out the suitcase at the bottom of the bed, raised it on the bed, and began to organize his designer clothes. He was about to leave New York, or even the United States. Many financial institutions, financial companies, and financial institutions there are hiring talents. As a senior student at Baruch College, he believes that there will be a place in Tianchao.

As for what happened when he was away from home, cultural differences, and language barriers, he did n’t think about it, and he did n’t need to think about it. As an American with Chinese friends, he had heard too much about the changes in heaven and there, and he had also been to Beijing and the Magic many times He is more aware of the real situation in heaven than those Americans who have never been out of state for a lifetime and rely on the media to understand the outside world.

Originally, if he could find a job, he would of course continue to stay in New York and Manhattan, but now it seems that Wall Street is really hurt and has no place to stand, then he will change the environment, anyway, in The United States has nothing to worry about.

"boom!"

"Squeak-"

Goldman dragged his suitcase, walked back to the living room with the passport in his hand, threw the passport on the table, and began preparing his own dinner. The bread, jam, and canned beef were taken out, one by one, and sat in the chair Up, while tearing a piece of bread into the mouth, watching TV.

"... I can provide you with equal opportunities, come on, new jobs are already beckoning to you, and I hope that major companies can join this American journey to work!"

On TV, the smile on Andy Smith's face was so sunny, and the whole person seemed extremely warm under the sunlight behind him.

"'Mr. Smith, do you mean all your companies?'

‘Yes, all, nbc Universal, Gaia, Liberty City Investment, Marvel, Starbucks, and Qualcomm, Mockingbird Game Company, Tesla, etc. will all appear at job fairs. . . ’

‘Tesla? I do n’t know if I want a car worker, you know, GM and Chrysler are in big trouble. . . ’

‘Oh, first of all, I want to correct a problem with your ideas. We Tesla is it company, haha. . . Okay, okay, we are also a Tesla car company. Of course, we need car builders. We welcome excellent auto workers to join our Tesla family. We just need to expand the scale and increase production capacity. As we all know, our electric There are too many orders for cars, but the production capacity is a bit stretched. Our next step is to change this situation. . . ’

. . . . . . "

Goldman's face returned to anger, and there was a look in his dark eyes. He took a few deep breaths, his face became rosy, and the flames that had been extinguished lit up again.

Finally, finally hope!

He immediately picked up the phone with excitement, twitched his finger to find a phone number, and dialed out. . .

When Andy Smith's TV interview aired, it immediately seemed like a drop of water fell into a hot oil pan, causing a huge response.

It's like a light of hope, with great light, so that countless people can see hope in this cold winter night, hope in spring!
