"Hey, Edward, are you there?" Two pickup trucks parked on the lawn in front of a beach house, and then Philemon jumped out and yelled into the house. .
"I knew this guy was here to find him. Boss, you have found a treasure this time. Only Philemon can hire this guy." Looking at Philemon shouting outside, Robbins-Garcia, who was unbuckling his seatbelt in the car, couldn't help but smile and speak. When he heard his words, Jiang Hai, who originally wanted to get out of the car, couldn't help but be stunned. What does this mean
"This guy's name is Edward Anderson. He is the most famous fisherman here. According to legend, his father is an Icelander who immigrated here. His ancestors are Vikings, that is, Vikings. When he was young, he was single. He went out to sea with a small boat and killed an adult killer whale. He was later hired by the government to train frogmen and other things. However, I heard that he had a bad temper. After beating the instructor, he came out. There is no one among the best fishermen here. This guy made a lot of money in the past, enough for him to spend his old age. Philemon married his youngest sister. If it weren't for him, we probably wouldn't be able to hire him. His." Seeing Jiang Hai's confused eyes, Robbins followed Jiang Hai and explained.
Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment after hearing what Robbins said. Did he kill an adult killer whale alone? If it wasn't a joke, then this guy might really be no ordinary person. Thinking of this, Jiang Hai also became a little curious about this guy.
"Come on, Philemon, you have a loud voice. If it wasn't for Vicky's sake, I would have told you to shut up, you bastard." After hearing Philemon's words, the seaside hut here also A big man walked out. This big man looked to be about 2.10 meters tall. He was quite old, in his fifties, and had a thick beard.
But his physical condition does not look like that of a man in his fifties. He has bulging muscles with protruding veins. If it weren't for the rounded beer belly, his appearance might be even more intimidating. Some.
"You old bastard, I'm here to introduce you to a job." Hearing his words, Philemon didn't pay attention and continued to talk with a smile. When he heard the word job, the big man couldn't help but froze. one time.
In fact, as Robbins said, he made a lot of money when he was young, and he had no wife or children. If he saved some money, it would be enough for him to spend his old age, but his family A man knows what is going on with his family.
This guy does live alone now, and he doesn’t have too many bad habits. He doesn’t drink too much, smokes very little, and doesn’t participate in gambling much. For such a life, the money is enough, but the problem is, he used to Have a wife.
Although he is divorced now, his wife gave him a son. His son did not do well in studies, but he still went to college this year. However, the tuition cost him $50,000. This time, he had no money at all. In addition, He is already strapped for tuition fees for the next few years, and he wants to work. Based on his experience, if he goes to the South Coast or the West Coast, there will be a lot of good jobs, but the problem is , he is also a bit older, and he is unwilling to leave his hometown.
At this time, he was hesitating. Now he heard Philemon said that he had found a job for him, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because there are almost no large-scale fishing grounds in Boston at this time. Most of them go fishing at home or raise lobsters in Maine. There are really not many fishing grounds nearby, and they may not employ people. he.
"Let me introduce you. This is my boss. The contract just signed today is the current owner of Green Forest, Jiang Hai." Seeing Jiang Hai and Robbins-Garcia walking over, Philemon said I couldn't help but talk.
"Hello, Green Forest? That's a big guy, man, are you ready to develop the marine resources there?" Seeing Jiang Hai, Edward shook hands with him, and then asked a little excitedly.
"Of course, but the plan may be delayed. I don't plan to breed in the near future. After all, I have invested more money in the pasture. All I may provide is a job and a few boats, that's all." ." Holding Edward's hand, Jiang Hai said to him. Regarding what Jiang Hai said, Edward nodded. He was quite happy for Jiang Hai's admission.
"Hi, Edward, long time no see." At this time, Robbins who was behind Jiang Hai also came over, patted Edward Anderson on the shoulder, and said hello to him, and Edward obviously also Knowing Robbins, who was also well-known here, he smiled and nodded, but his eyes were still mainly focused on Jiang Hai.
"I want to know, when are you going to develop the fishery again?" Looking at Jiang Hai, he asked seriously.
"At least we have to wait until some of the funds from the ranch come back!" After thinking about it, Jiang Hai also hoped to open the fishery, but the problem was still the same, how to open it without money
"That's not a problem." Edward Anderson couldn't help laughing after hearing Jiang Hai's words.
"Can I ask why it's not a problem?" Seeing Edward Anderson's smiling face, Jiang Hai asked doubtfully.
"First of all, I really need a job now. Even if you just ask me to fish for Asian carp, I will do it. Secondly, I have confidence in these guys. Robbins and Philemon are under your control." If so, then Burke-Dahler must be here too. These three people are here. As long as nothing unexpected happens, your ranch will be profitable in less than two years. This is my understanding of them and my confidence in them. ." Looking at Jiang Hai, Edward Anderson couldn't help but laugh.
They were all from the same town, so he knew who had good skills and who didn't.
It seems that Robbins does have two brushes here, and his name is still very good.
"In that case, you are welcome to join me. Let's sign a labor contract while it's still early. I've prepared a single-family villa for you, so you can live there." Looking at it. Edward Anderson in front of him, Jiang Hai spoke with a smile. Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Edward also smiled and nodded. He went back to pack his things first. This house belongs to him and he doesn't need to. Refund or something, but since Jiang Hai gave him a house to live in, he can rent it out. This is also an income. For him now, money is a very important thing.
What happened next was much simpler. Jiang Hai, Robbins and Edward went to the law firm again and signed a new labor contract. Edward's salary was the same as that of everyone here. The tallest one inside, even Robbins has nothing to say.
Originally, sailors earned much more than cowboys. In the United States, the average annual income of sailors is about $48,000. Some of them are the same as the so-called middle class in the United States, and people like Edward He is an experienced sailor and can sail almost all fishing boats. If he were in Southern California, he could earn at least nearly 100,000 US dollars a year. But unfortunately, this is Boston, and Jiang Hai is not prepared to give him that much. The last price that Hai negotiated with him was 1,200 US dollars per week, not including the cost of overseas travel. In this way, he would also have an income of 62,400 US dollars a year, which was really good. Philemon was treating Ed After Hua called out, he went back.
Compared with other people, he has a lot of people to take care of, so it will naturally take a longer time to clean up.
After signing the labor agreement with Edward, Jiang Hai and his three men came to the supermarket in the town.
This was Jiang Hai's first time shopping in Winthrop, and he was also looking at the prices in this town.
Prices in Boston are among the highest in the United States, and the income only ranks ninth among all metropolitan areas. However, the cost is second only to New York, which really makes people speechless.
Of course, the prices here also compare. Compared with other places in the United States, they are indeed a bit more expensive. But for Jiang Hai, the things here are really cheap, especially meat. People in the United States don't like to eat pork. They also don’t eat river fish, ducks, and geese. They only eat liver. They don’t eat dog meat, donkey meat, horse meat, etc. They don’t eat them. Their meat menu only has beef, mutton, sea fish and chicken. , and the prices of these meats are, to be honest, very cheap.
As mentioned before, the problem of meat grading in the United States is that the average beef eaten by people here is about 9 taels per pound in China, and it only sells for a few dollars. It’s half the price, and the cattle here are not watered, so you don’t have to worry about any excessive toxins.
The price of mutton is similar to that of beef, and may be slightly more expensive. At present, domestic mutton is also more expensive than beef.
The prices of chicken and fish are the cheapest. A bag of chicken wings costs only 99 cents, and a bag of chicken wings costs one US dollar and thirty cents. It’s at least half the price if you exchange it with soft-meet coins!
This is the price near Boston. If you are in the West, except for California, the price will be even lower.
But don’t think that everything is cheap here. The vegetables here are outrageously expensive.
Jiang Hai saw with his own eyes that a Xihong market cost two dollars a pound, bell peppers cost ninety-nine cents a pound, and zucchini cost eighty-eight cents a pound. These are just the most common ones, and they are relatively cheap among vegetables. Those Hardcover, triple the price.
Although this is absolutely an organic vegetable, the price is still ridiculously expensive.
Except for some people who go to work, people like these who live in the town will grow vegetables at home to eat. If you can’t eat them, you can sell them. In the United States, the most worry-free thing to sell is vegetables, because as long as you have them, And the goods are good, no matter how expensive they are, people will buy them.
As for lettuce, in American supermarkets, it is actually only a mid- to low-end vegetable, which makes people a little speechless.
