Chapter 1326 New York trip(2/2)
The group sat on two tables.
Zhou Jun smiled and said, "Wang Lin, New York is really good! It is much more prosperous than our Shanghai City."
Wang Lin said: "The world's number one city is not blown out."
Li Wenxiu said: "I wonder how long it will take for Shencheng to catch up with New York?"
Zhou Jun said: "Is this possible? Can Shencheng compare with New York?"
Wang Lin smiled and said, "It's not impossible to compare. Shencheng and New York are the open windows of the Eastern powers, and the other is the old-fashioned world financial center in the West. Although the two cities are located in the eastern and western hemispheres, they have many similar places. A river passes through the city, both international financial centers and international port cities."
Zhou Jun said: "That's better than skyscrapers! Look at how many high-rise buildings are in New York? How many are there in Shencheng? And the total economic output is even further apart."
Wang Lin said: "Of course it's not as good as it is now, so we're discussing how long it will take to catch up."
Zhou Jun said: "Fifty years to see if you can catch up!"
Wang Lin said: "Brother Jun, you are probably right. In fifty years, maybe our Shencheng will catch up with New York!"
Li Wenxiu said: "Is it going to be so long? Now that Shencheng is doing big development everywhere, especially in Pudong, there are many buildings under construction!"
Wang Lin said: "The Bund is equivalent to Wall Street, Lujiazui is equivalent to Manhattan, People's Square is equivalent to Times Square, and Nanjing Road is equivalent to 5th Avenue. Now, these four commercial centers in Shencheng are a bit far behind New York."
Li Wenxiu said: "If you say this, it is indeed a lot worse."
Zhou Xia said: "This is meaningless, it is most suitable to compare per capita income and purchasing power."
Wang Lin smiled and said, "That's even further."
Zhou Jun said: "I understand now why Chinese people are so keen to go abroad."
What surprised them was that the waiter in the restaurant was actually Chinese. When he heard them speak Mandarin, he communicated with them in Mandarin.
After the conversation, Wang Lin learned that he was Liu Changyou and had been in New York for more than three years. He had just started to wash plates in Chinese restaurants. He washed plates for sixteen hours a day and couldn't straighten his waist. Based on hourly wages, the longer the working time, the higher the salary. In order to gain a foothold as soon as possible, there was no way to force himself to work more.
After swiping the plate for half a year, the tourist visa expired. Liu Changyou also had some savings and spent money to find someone to apply for a green card. Only then did he officially have the identity and could come out to find a proper job.
Zhou Jun asked: "How much is your salary when you work here?"
Liu Changyou said: "A monthly salary of $3,200, working eight hours a day and two days off a week."
Zhou Jun said in surprise: "This salary is quite high. It's been 25,000 yuan per month if it's converted to RMB."
Liu Changyou said: "This kind of conversion is meaningless. I earn US dollars in New York and spend US dollars. Unless I save money and save it and send it back to my hometown, then this money is valuable."
Everyone nodded and said yes.
They don’t know much about New York’s prices. Although more than 3,000 US dollars seem to be a lot, if they spend a lot of money every month, they won’t save much money.
Liu Changyou said: "We are the highest-level hotel restaurants, and our salary is considered high. For ordinary Chinese people who look for jobs, they can only find more than one thousand dollars, and some even only a few hundred dollars."
Wang Lin and the others were chatting with him while ordering food.
Consumption in high-end hotels is of course expensive.
The dishes ordered by Wang Lin and the others were in duplicate and had a meal and a drink. The two tables of wine and dishes cost more than 5,000 US dollars.
Liu Changyou smiled and said, "You must be rich! You ordered the most expensive food, more than 2,000 US dollars a table of rice, and I will never dare to taste it in my life."
Wang Lin smiled slightly: "It's rare to come out. Of course, you have to eat some good food, just treat it as seeing the world."
Liu Changyou said: "Please wait, I will arrange the food immediately."
Wang Lin said thank you.
Everyone started talking about it, mainly discussing the salary and consumption levels here.
Wang Lin helped his wife sort out the tableware, and inadvertently glanced at the front of the left, glanced at the front of the house, but he immediately turned back and looked at the people over there.
That was a blonde beauty!
If there is a kind of beauty in the world that you can never forget, it must be her.
If there is a fresh and refined beauty in the world, it still belongs to her.
Her facial features are exquisite and grand, and her beautiful blue eyes become more charming the more she looks. She has a playful little curly hair, and her temperament is particularly lively and pure, and she is so beautiful that she is extremely beautiful.
Wang Lin has seen many beauties, but he still couldn't help but take a few more glances.
