My Age of Investment

After visiting Fu Fu's costumes, and accepting Wang Youfu's banquet and sauna reception.

The next day, Xia Jingxing and the three of them sat in a rented Mercedes-Benz and visited and inspected suppliers all over Zhejiang Province.

Wang Youfu mobilized his network of contacts and introduced many factory owners to Xia Jingxing.

Xia Jingxing also went to investigate one by one, both good and bad.

Good or bad here refers to the quality and price, whether it meets Facebook's standards.

There are factory owners who treat Xia Jingxing as a foreigner and ask for the price like slaughtering a fat sheep.

Xia Jingxing never revealed that he was just a Chinese student.

Disguised as a Chinese identity, I really saw a lot of tricks.

There is a boss who settles the accounts for him, calculates the cost, and says that a worker's salary is two or three thousand yuan a month...

Xia Jingxing didn't have so much time to entangle, so he just ruled it out and went to the next family.

Thomas and Angelina are responsible for selection and evaluation of product quality.

The three stayed in Zhejiang Province for a week, visited dozens of factories, and finally found a few satisfactory partners.

Facebook's financial staff traveled to Hong Kong and registered a subsidiary for Facebook, Facebook (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.

Taxes in the U.S. are too high, and Facebook is now learning from the giants’ approach, and has begun to intercept profits from overseas branches and subsidiaries, instead of flowing back to the U.S.

If the U.S. parent company needs funds, the overseas subsidiary will allocate it back.

In the name of Facebook (Hong Kong), he signed supply agreements with several factories, and after paying the deposit, Xia Jingxing returned to Rongcheng.

…………

In an old teahouse in Rongcheng, Andrew sat in a chair, admiring the tea master's superb tea pouring technique with great interest.

A long-mouthed copper pot with a thin mouth of nearly 70 cm can be freely swayed in the hands of the tea masters. into the tea cup without spilling a single drop of water.

Seeing this scene, Andrew clapped and applauded behind the other tea guests.

Looking back, looking at Xia Jingxing who was sitting on the chair opposite him, holding a bowl of tea and gently flicking the tea leaves with the tea lid, Andrew smiled and said, "This place is really nice! You are so lucky to be born here."

"How is it better than Chinatown?"

Andrew shrugged, "Chinatown is small and dilapidated, people who have just immigrated, and their families are crowded into small rooms, life is a problem.

If you are a lawyer or a doctor in the mainland and immigrate to the United States, the Americans will not recognize your academic qualifications and professional qualifications.

From the middle and upper classes, it fell directly to the bottom.

Not to mention coming to the park for tea, it would be nice not to be forced to seek short-term views.

I grew up in Chinatown, my father is a lawyer, and I have seen many unfortunate immigrant families, and I don't know why they gave up everything and dragged their families to pursue the ethereal American dream. "

Xia Jingxing smiled, "Believe it or not, you ask those people now if they want to go back to the mainland now, and they don't want to be killed."

Andrew nodded, "That's right, they have suffered so much to emigrate successfully, and they definitely don't want to come back."

"It's just the superficial reason, the deep reason is the reluctance to admit defeat and admit to making bad choices."

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "Many of the people who went out ten or twenty years ago were elites from the mainland.

At that time, the gap between China and the United States was very exaggerated. Even if I went to the United States to be a waiter, serving tea and pouring water, my income was higher than that of being a professor in the mainland.

But extending the time to today, the elites who stayed in China have become the mainstay of this society. The income, living standards, social respect, etc., combined, may not be lower than or even higher than the group of people who moved out.

Over time, the gap between China and the United States began to narrow.

Those who were removed and those who were not removed,

It may be reversed in every way. "

"in turn?"

Xia Jingxing explained, "For example, people who immigrated to the United States saved all kinds of money, and finally obtained a qualification certificate and became a lawyer and a doctor.

And their former classmates and friends in China have become the director and dean of the law firm.

Yellow people have a promotion ceiling in the United States, but not at home.

Those who immigrated to the United States stayed where they were, while those at home kept getting promoted.

China has continued the current economic growth rate, the income of doctors and lawyers will only get higher and higher, and the business of businessmen will become bigger and bigger..."

Andrew listened carefully and nodded, "Indeed, the group of people who stayed may have had a hard time in the 1980s and 1990s. After entering the new century, everything is getting better."

The two were chatting and chatting, and the performing tea master gradually approached.

The other party leaned over and bent over, holding the teapot in his back, his long mouth resting on the shoulders of the tea master, pouring out a long arc of water, and pouring it into Andrew's teacup without spilling a drop.

Andrew was startled when he saw the hot, still smoking boiling water pouring over him. With a strong desire to survive, he leaned back desperately and almost tipped the bamboo chair over.

It was Xia Jingxing who pulled him, so he didn't make a fool of himself.

The surrounding citizens who were drinking tea laughed when they saw that this foreigner was so cowardly.

After the tea was poured, Andrew realized that he was performing tea art, not murdering himself.

With an embarrassed smile, he took out one hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to the tea master as a tip.

"Your green card application is not a hassle, we have already transferred Facebook's funds out of the United States in the form of dividends.

You only need to invest the money back in the United States in your name and create ten jobs before you can get an investment green card. "

Xia Jingxing nodded, indicating that he knew.

The EB-5 program for U.S. investment immigration was introduced by the U.S. Congress in 1990, but it was gradually understood by the Chinese after 2006.

By around 2006, there were only 60 to 70 Chinese investors; by 2012, the number of Chinese investment immigrants had exceeded 6,000.

After 2015, it was even more exaggerated, and the number of Chinese applicants alone was tens of thousands.

The United States only issues 10,000 investment green cards every year, and this number includes applicants and their families.

The question is, there is a backlog of applications, and you have to wait in line for how long? I heard that 2020 will be 10 years later.

And only mainlanders are in line, other regions and countries do not need, because there are too many mainland applicants.

The investment green card is a one-person application, and both the spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 can obtain the green card at the same time.

After the application is successful, you can freely choose to live in any city in the United States, or continue to work and live in China.

I heard that because the queue is too long, the children with families are over 21 years old and can't be brought in...

In addition to these, it is often heard that they have been pitted by black intermediaries and have problems with investment.

This kind of investment immigration is divided into two types, investment of 1 million US dollars, or 500,000 US dollars.

Invest US$500,000 in regional investment immigrants. Regional immigrants can only invest in high unemployment and rural areas in the United States. This kind of subscription to American projects has certain high risks.

Xia Jingxing chose another option, which is to invest 1 million US dollars to directly invest in immigration. He is indeed doing his own projects in the United States, opening a company, and obtaining a green card with complete documents.

However, at the beginning, you can only get a two-year conditional green card. Only if the investment of 1 million US dollars is put into the public account of the USCIS, and the employment of more than 10 US citizens is solved, you can bring 10 dollars in advance 90 days after the 2-year investment period expires. Personnel employment certificate and project asset profit and loss report, apply for the cancellation of the 2-year investment authority.

Andrew continued: "I won't go into details on the usefulness of a green card. With a green card, you can stay in the United States legally, and you will have a lot of convenience in opening a company and in life."

Speaking of this, Andrew glanced at Xia Jingxing and pointedly said, "As for whether to naturalize in the future, it is up to you to decide."

Into the hammer membership Oh!

Xia Jingxing held the teacup, gently blew the tea leaves open, and took a sip.

He guessed that Andrew had probably guessed that he didn't want to be naturalized.

From the details of life and conversations, Xia Jingxing revealed a kind of contempt and ridicule to the United States and Americans from time to time. This person who yearned for a paradise abroad formed a sharp contrast.

Andrew has handled so many immigration cases, so he can distinguish and feel it naturally.

However, neither of them said anything. After all, Old John wanted Xia Jingxing to immigrate to the United States and bring Facebook to a new height.

If he knew that he just wanted to grab a handful and run away, there would be conflicts and disagreements.

Andrew looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile, he didn't care, he didn't have as high expectations as Old John had on Facebook, as long as he could make money, he also respected everyone's choice.
