MTL - Rebirth: Japanese investor-Chapter 33 Chinese Restaurant

   Chapter 33 Chinese Restaurant

   After a day, Masayoshi Kishimoto did not stay in the hotel waiting for Larry Page and Sergey Brin to call. In his opinion, he has done his best, and as for the rest, it depends on the destiny.

  Investment is not about buying what you like, you have to. It can be done, it can be done. If not, change direction and target. Although he has a certain ability to predict the future, it does not mean that he will be 100% successful.

   An experienced venture capital firm will lose seven out of ten projects, two will break even, and only one will be profitable.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto has long thought about it. If he can't wait for their call, his next trip is to chat with Jerry Yang from Yahoo.

  If he and the other party can't talk to each other, then go to Amazon's Bezos. Anyway, I will do my best.

  Now, since he has come to San Francisco, he has to go out for a walk and turn around. So, he walked out of the hotel door and walked aimlessly on the street.

  Whites, blacks, Asians, South Americans, etc. are gathered in this city. Even if the skin color is different and the race is different, it will not be regarded by the locals as the animals in the zoo.

   Near noon, Masayoshi Kishimoto found a Sichuan restaurant and walked in. He sat down by the window seat.

   A moment later, a young Chinese girl came over with a paper in one hand and a pen in the other. Masayoshi Kishimoto picked up the plastic menu that had been placed on the table for a long time and started ordering. I ordered a sauerkraut vermicelli soup, a spicy chicken, a mapo tofu, and a bowl of rice.

   The little Chinese girl who had memorized it, turned around and left, and said loudly in the direction of the kitchen: "Sauerkraut vermicelli soup, spicy chicken, and mapo tofu, each one."

   There was a response from the kitchen: "I see."

   Masayoshi Kishimoto looked around the environment while he was waiting. The store is not big, but clean. His first reaction to the Chinese who came here to make a living was that it was not easy.

  I don't believe that they are fighting for freedom and democracy, but they are crossing the ocean to seek a better future life.

  San Francisco, the place where gold was produced in the past, naturally attracted many gold prospectors. In order to make up for the shortage of labor, many Chinese were sold here as "pig" by human traffickers.

   Even if you voluntarily cross the ocean to survive, you have to go through a life-and-death test on the ocean before you can reach the United States. Masayoshi Kishimoto naturally thought of the novel Fusang by Chinese writer Yan Geling.

   Although the situation of the current Chinese in the United States is not as miserable as the first generation of Chinese, they still have to work hard. Some people still have to work 18 hours a day, almost all year round.

  Kishimoto Masayoshi knows that Chinese people are scattered all over the world. Their favorite thing to do is to open restaurants, and one is ethnic, after all, they have been short of food and clothing for too long.

   Having a full meal is a luxury for many Chinese in a certain period. Chinese people always have a deep obsession with food.

  The other is the most realistic demand, the cost is small and cannot afford to pay. If the business is not good, you can eat by yourself. After all, people need to eat and live every day.

The advantage of    is to minimize the risk of operation. In addition, the Chinese are hard-working, sacrificing time to cut costs, enhance competitiveness, and exchange for money.

   Under normal circumstances, a small home-style restaurant like this is not easy to run down. The bottom class of Chinese in San Francisco is really not like African Americans. In addition to robbery as a career, they go to do various illegal activities such as drug trafficking.

  The little Chinese girl brought Mapo tofu, spicy chicken, sauerkraut vermicelli soup, and a bowl of white rice to Kishimoto's table one by one. After finishing the work, she was not idle, and walked out of the restaurant sideways to solicit business.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi picked up a pair of chopsticks that he had put in front of him and started it. When he ate these things into his mouth one by one, his brows frowned slightly.

   Saying it is unpalatable is not objective. It's not enough to say it's delicious. This Mapo Tofu, which has been modified by local tastes, has less spicy taste. Without the spicy Mapo tofu, can it still be called Mapo tofu?

  Spicy chicken, it looks like there are chili peppers, but it is not spicy at all, on the contrary, it is a little sweet. This is obviously the addition of sugar to the dish.

   As for the sauerkraut vermicelli soup, in addition to knowing fans, Kishimoto Masayoshi is doubtful whether the thing he added is sauerkraut.

  Kishimoto Masayoshi suddenly remembered a wise saying, go abroad, even if you don't bring instant noodles and mustard, you will find a hot pot restaurant for dinner.

   No matter how bad the hot pot is, it will not be really bad, and it will not be as bad as Chinese food.

   At this time, a middle-aged Chinese couple, a man and a woman, walked into the small restaurant and sat down at a table next to Kishimoto Masayoshi face to face. One of them asked for fried rice with twice-cooked pork, and the other asked for fried rice with tomato and egg.

   After the two finished ordering, they chatted. Although Masayoshi Kishimoto did not intend to eavesdrop, the voice naturally entered his ears.

  The two originally came to the United States from China. So far, the agency fees owed have not been repaid. They want to go back, but they can't afford the airfare.

  The two of them worked hard day and night here, but they were not doing well. The people in the family thought they were doing well, and had long forgotten about the elderly and children.

   In fact, women especially want their children. However, I couldn't go back, and I was very anxious in my heart. The man had no choice but to comfort her not to think too much.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi silently ate his lunch, but sighed secretly in his heart, this human world is always full of injustice.

  Some people are born with happiness, and some people are born with suffering and burden. They have been poor and busy all their lives, and they have never seen a lot of money. They always go in with the left hand and go out with the right.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto understands that this is not just for Chinese, Koreans, Japanese in the United States... People of any ethnic group, as long as they don't have strong skills or education, are living with difficulty.

  After all, in the United States at this time, a slightly more decent and decent career requires at least a community college degree.

   It will never appear that you are a person at the bottom in a certain country, and once you immigrate to another country, you will be directly promoted to the upper class.

   Even if the bottom Americans go to poor countries in Africa, they will still be the bottom group of a certain country's society. The most jobs they do are foreign teachers and night clubs.

  Otherwise, it is eating a “subsistence allowance” rented wife in the United States or a so-called transnational marriage. The only person who can be deceived is to think that the foreign moon is brighter than the domestic moon.

   This upper-middle-class American goes to work in an underdeveloped country and can still get high allowances because of environmental pollution, which is harmful to his health.
