Chapter 647 Heading to America

As the New Year approaches, Chen Li first summarized the year 2000 for his various industries, and then arranged a series of tasks for the coming year.

Mainly to deal with the very likely problem of employee turnover.

To be honest, the employee benefits of various industries under Ideal are definitely among the best in the same industry.

However, being at the top of the industry does not necessarily mean being able to retain people. After all, the service industry is the industry with the most severe personnel loss.

But this is normal. After all, no matter how good the waiter is, and no matter how generous the boss Chen Li is, it is impossible for him to offer him a salary comparable to that in the management industry.

And people all want to go to higher places. Many people in this industry just make a transition to accumulate some work and social experience, and then try to find a new starting point.

Therefore, every New Year is a reshuffle for the service industry.

It's better to have one or two separate stores. Even if there is a loss of staff, you can easily find replacement staff.

But for chain enterprises like Ideal Catering, every new year means a large loss of personnel. However, Ideal Catering has higher requirements for employees than the general service industry, so every Spring Festival is actually a small test.

.

Fortunately, the company's training department already has its own system, and the company provides high benefits, so even if there are some minor problems, overall it doesn't matter.

And this kind of problem mainly occurs in Ideal Food. Although the problem of personnel loss in other industries also exists, it is not serious.

After all, the welfare benefits of Ideal Company are there. If the starting point of the service industry was not too low, it is estimated that even Ideal Food would not have such a problem.

After settling these matters, Chen Li said goodbye to his girlfriend and set off from Yanjing Airport to the United States on the other side of the ocean.

This was the first time since his rebirth that he was not at home to celebrate the New Year.

In fact, according to Chen Li's previous thinking, the world is huge and his family is the biggest, so at that time, Chen Li never thought about having to work during the Spring Festival.

At that time, Chen's ideal was very simple. He had been reborn~ and had a system. If he still had to work hard during the Spring Festival, wouldn't it be a bit of a failure?

But reality has taught Chen Li a hard lesson. As the company develops, even if he has two BUFFs, he still has to make compromises on many things.

There is no other way~ People have to be responsible!

Chen Li can certainly live as he pleases on his own, but now there is a large group of people behind him who are asking for help from him.

It doesn't matter how he wants to live, but he cannot affect this large group of people because of his willfulness.

At the very least, it’s not possible at this stage!

The company is developing at a high speed. The boss, Chen Li, may not say he has made any significant contributions to the development of the company, but at least he can't hold him back, right?

Therefore, there are some things where Chen Li must come forward, and he can only come forward.

After all, even if Chen ideally wants to be an invisible boss, the prerequisite is that he has the qualifications to become invisible.

The current Ideal Group has not yet reached the stage where Chen Li can step aside and become the invisible BOSS!

Therefore, Chen Li had to go on this trip to the United States!

The preparations for traveling to the United States went very smoothly, and Chen Li's visa was extremely easy to obtain.

Uh~ Well, in fact, the United States will never refuse rich people to go, unless you are not rich enough.

Of course~ Chen Li must be considered a rich man. Not to mention that it is only 2001, even twenty years later, based on Chen Li's current net worth, he can be considered a rich man.

In this regard, Xiao Ma in his previous life cannot compare. It is said that this guy was directly refused a visa when he went to the United States.

If Zeng Liqing, who looked like a rich man, hadn't helped to make peace, I guess Xiao Ma wouldn't have been able to get the visa at that time.

Of course ~ Chen Li believed that even if Ma Ge was rejected at that time, he would definitely be able to handle the matter later, but it can be seen that Ma Ge at that time was definitely not rich enough.

After all, Tengxun was facing a transformation dilemma at that time, and Tengxun was not listed on the market. At most, Xiao Ma could only be regarded as an entrepreneur in the domestic Internet industry.

Even though the valuation of Tengxun at that time had reached a very large value, when people said they refused the visa, they refused the visa.

When it came to Chen Li, he didn't even show up. He handed Zhang Ruolan the materials he needed to prepare, and then the visa was issued.

Before, Chen Li thought he was going to the embassy or something, but he didn't expect that he didn't need to.

This is quite beyond Chen Li's expectation. You must know that American visas are notoriously difficult to obtain!

So~it’s not that it’s difficult to get a visa in the United States, but that the other country has different conditions for issuing visas!

For a rich man like Chen Li, as long as he is willing to go, the other party will definitely want to do it, so how can he set up obstacles for this?

Of course, maybe there is some reason for this because of Goldman Sachs. After all, the visas for Chen Li and his team were actually handled by Goldman Sachs staff.

In short, Chen Li's trip to the United States went quite smoothly until he arrived in the United States.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the flight from Yanjing to New York is not yet direct, and you have to go to Shanghai for a while.

Correspondingly, the flight time was also lengthened. Although Chen Li flew in first class, the first class cabin on the plane was actually just that.

It’s not that first class is uncomfortable, but flying for a long time is actually not a comfortable thing for anyone.

Fortunately, Chen Li has the system space. Although Chen Li is actually a little tired of staying in the system space, it is naturally more comfortable in the system space than in the closed airplane space.

After a long flight and some delays in San Francisco, the flight finally arrived at its destination, New York.

But as soon as he got off the plane, something happened that made Chen Li dissatisfied, because he was investigated!

In fact, it is a very normal thing to be inspected when entering customs when traveling.

Therefore, Chen Li didn't actually have any emotions towards the other party's request for inspection at first.

He is not a nobleman, so wherever he goes, it is natural for him to abide by the local laws.

But I have to say that in fact, this situation is not common, because Chen Li was traveling in first class.

To be honest, it doesn’t mean that people traveling in first class can avoid inspections as a matter of course.

But how to say it?

Generally speaking, first-class tickets are four to five times more expensive than regular tickets.

Therefore, most people at the customs would think that if a person is willing to spend so much extra money to buy a first-class ticket, then there is no need for him to bring things he shouldn't bring in order to save a little money.

Of course, this is not a rule, nor is it 100% certain, but first-class passengers are indeed the least likely to be randomly checked among all passengers.

Chen Li was traveling in first class, but that didn't mean he wouldn't be investigated.

And Chen Li knows very well that he is Chinese, and it is quite common for Chinese people to receive special treatment in the United States these days.

So, he really didn't care much about the fact that he was randomly checked.

Some things simply cannot be reversed by him at the moment. As long as the other party acts in accordance with the rules and regulations, he will not have any unnecessary thoughts.

But that’s exactly where the problem lies~the other party doesn’t intend to act in accordance with the rules and regulations!

As soon as the other party came up, they aggressively determined that Chen Li and his party were carrying prohibited items, and then when Zhang Ruolan argued, they started to use their hands and feet.

Naturally, Chen Li couldn't bear this, so he not only retorted, but even blocked the other party's behavior.

In the past life of the Internet, there was a saying that when the police in the United States made a request to you, it was best not to refuse the request.

The other party asks you to lie down~you'd better lie down; the other party asks you to hold your head in your hands~you'd better listen to the other party!

But when you encounter something like this, it’s actually very difficult for you to actually do it!

Especially when two burly men on the other side were attacking Zhang Ruolan, a woman, if Chen Lizhen didn't stop them, then he really wouldn't be considered a man.

Okay~ Some people may say that Chen Li was impulsive, but the other party made it clear that he was looking for trouble~ To be honest, it was difficult for Chen Li not to be impulsive.

Of course, even if Chen Li took action, he only blocked the other party's impolite behavior towards Zhang Ruolan. He did not have a big fight with the other party.

After all, he's not stupid. If he really did that, it would be the end of the world if the other party emptied the magazine.

Then Chen Li and his party were taken to a small room, commonly known as a small dark room.

Once here, Chen Li was unwilling to speak. He asked the other party to call his lawyer.

Okay~ In fact, Chen Li naturally does not have a lawyer in the United States, but Mu Xiaoqing has met a large group of lawyers in the United States before. Chen Li believes that as long as he makes a call to Mu Xiaoqing, this problem will be solved quickly.

.

No matter what happens, give someone at Goldman Sachs a call and they will definitely be able to resolve the matter.

However, what Chen Li did not expect was that non-American citizens who apply for entry do not actually have the right to request to see a lawyer or agent when undergoing immigration inspection.

Unless the applicant faces criminal investigation and is detained. Generally speaking, the undisputed legal rights enjoyed by the parties at the scene are limited to complaints, requesting translation assistance, and refusal to sign.

Therefore, Chen Li’s request was ignored by the other party!

To be honest, Chen Li was a little dumbfounded at this moment. After all, in his opinion, at this time, it seemed that a lawyer should come forward and slap the other party hard in the face.

But the fact is that Chen Li had no chance to make a call at all, and naturally it was impossible for him to receive any fair, just and open treatment.

The other party's attitude was very "ferocious", and he even banged the table and shouted loudly in front of Chen Li. However, Chen Li restrained his previous attitude at this time. No matter what the other party asked, Chen Li stopped answering the other party's questions.

.

From beginning to end ~ Chen Li has only one sentence

“I need help from a staff member who understands Chinese!”

Okay~ In fact, Chen Li already knew that he did not have this right before entering the country, so he was actually stalling for time.

He is very aware of the tricks of these people. If the other party really wants to do something to them, they might set some kind of verbal trap for him. If he is caught off guard and answers poorly, what will happen to him in the end?

It probably won’t get better!

So~ he needs to buy time, and the person who picks him up at Goldman Sachs knows what is happening here.

He believed that people at Goldman Sachs would help him solve this matter. After all, Chen Li was still a somewhat important partner for Goldman Sachs.

Moreover, Chen Li believes that in a capitalist country like the United States, the right to speak of large conglomerates like Goldman Sachs in the United States is definitely not comparable to that of people from the customs.

Of course, if Chen Li really did something prohibited, the matter might be more difficult to deal with, but if Chen Li did nothing, that would be another matter.

To be honest~ If Chen Li in his previous life had encountered this kind of scene, he would have been frightened. But now, although Chen Li is a little flustered, overall Chen Li is not guilty at all.

To put it bluntly~ As long as he doesn't act recklessly, the worst he can do is to be deported back to his country, so he can just go back!

And Chen Li is sure of one thing, and that is the other party's inspection procedures. They definitely do not comply with relevant regulations.

After all, the other party didn't say much when they first came up, but they just started to do things?

To put it bluntly~ Seeing that Chen Li and his party were all Chinese-faced, I subconsciously wanted to do a arrogant "inspection".

Chen Li had seen a lot of this kind of thing on the Internet in his previous life. Although it’s hard to tell whether it’s true or not, the fact that it caused so much noise proves that this kind of thing definitely exists.

Generally speaking, most people tend to swallow their anger when encountering such things.

After all, we are in a foreign country, and it is the right of the other party to check, so even if some people encounter unfair treatment, they often just choose to be patient!

Of course, there are also some people who choose to fight, but the experience of these people is not very good!

After all, for ordinary people, it is too weak compared to the so-called state machinery.

To put it bluntly, the other party may find any excuse and send you back to the country. Even if you win the fight in the end, it actually means nothing!

But Chen Li was different. In fact, from the very beginning, he was reluctant to come to a place like the United States.

If he didn't need to increase some capital now, he wouldn't even want to show up at all.

So, as long as Chen Li doesn't mess around, as for things like repatriation, he is really not afraid!

And Chen Li believes that as long as he is willing to pay, there will definitely be American lawyers to help him get justice.

It just so happens that what Chen Li needs most now is money, so although Chen Li is a little panicked now, he is not empty at all.

Opposite him, a tall man in uniform had already checked Chen Li's luggage. Of course, nothing could be found during the inspection.

Speaking of which, Chen Li actually carried some things that he shouldn't have carried. Don't get me wrong. They were not dangerous items, but some seasonings!

But these things are all stored in the system space, and there is no way~ When he went to the island country before, he was really fed up with the so-called exotic food.

This time, Chen Li needed to stay in the United States for about a week, so Chen Li deliberately put some seasonings into the space. With these seasonings, Chen Li basically didn’t have to worry about eating.

Therefore, it is simply impossible for the other party to find anything wrong with Chen Li's luggage.

And at this moment, a staff member in uniform suddenly walked up next to him. He whispered something to the staff member in front of Chen Li, and then he saw the other person nodded, looked at Chen Li and said:

"Sir, there is no problem on my side!"

"Welcome to America!"
