Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

　　 In the entire 1960s, the country focused on South Asia because of Vietnam and the war, which made it impossible to manage desert areas.

　　Where can local tyrants give too many opportunities to make money, oil prices have been slowly rising throughout the 1960s.

　　 Like a soft knife cutting meat, the cost of U.S. industrial products has risen, and the economy is naturally depressed. The last eruption caused four economic crises in the 1970s.

　　 Moreover, the economy is sluggish. It is difficult for Americans to find jobs, and they have to face a large number of retired soldiers joining the ranks of job hunting.

　　 Thinking of this, I lowered my head and worried that I could not even find the Burger King waiter, this kind of overwork that only worked for a month or two, Li Changheng,

　　 Seeing a few Chinese in front of him wearing kung fu clothes with red rims and black burlap, they suddenly raised their heads and asked, "Are you disciples from Chinatown Martial Arts Hall?"

　　The leading young man nodded, and saw Li Changheng happily asking, "Then if I can help you introduce middle school students to martial arts, how much can you give me an introduction fee?"

　　 "This...", the surrounding Chinese martial arts disciples looked at each other in surprise, and hesitant expressions appeared on their faces after a while.

　　 Not to mention dozens of martial arts gyms in Chinatown, but officially opened to teach apprentices. There are ten regular martial arts gyms with a site of one to two hundred square meters.

　　 But the problem is that although everyone wants to make money from foreigners, they don't want to teach foreigners real kung fu.

　　 Don't even talk about the real kung fu, I don't even want to teach the routines, I'd rather live a tight life than kung fu.

　　 Otherwise, Brother Xiaolong would open a martial arts gym in San Francisco and would not be scolded for accepting foreigners and apprentices.

　　 Hearing the explanation from the leading martial arts disciple, I had already thought about it. With my doubled physical fitness and memory, I should learn a few tricks from the martial arts master first, or a complete set of routines.

　　 Then he performed a few times in the school to attract those nerds who had been bullied by the school boss to learn boxing, Li Changheng couldn't help cursing in his heart.

　　 The things that cherish the broom's self don't talk about this era, even after decades, it will be the same, and the more closed, the less development, and the less able to keep up with the times.

　　 This means that, let alone earning some introduction fees, he wants to learn kung fu himself, but he can’t find anyone to teach him.

　　 With a heavy heart, Li Changheng turned his head and left without even entering Chinatown.

　　 Two days later, I did not intend to give up his student status, and to avoid the orphanage from driving him away. Without free food and shelter, Li Changheng, who was unable to get a full-time job, really didn't find a suitable job so quickly.

　　 Even if there is, it is a bit unwise to give up the opportunity to go to college for $6 or $7 a day.

　　 After all, he will be able to prepare for the university application in February next year. After 7 months of hard work, he may be able to go to a good university.

　　 Fortunately, Frank may be so kind, or he may be worried that the money he borrowed will be in vain.

　　 After Frank's introduction, in the wealthy neighborhood where his family lived, Li Changheng found various people to tidy the lawn, paint the walls, and clean the swimming pool.

　　 A week later, using the odd hours after school in the afternoon, using the price of $8 for a family, all-inclusive lawn + certain other odd jobs, I actually made $48.

　　 And the place where he works is a real wealthy area, even if someone is dissatisfied that he robbed him at a price 15% below the market price, he dare not block him in the community.

　　 As far as the community is concerned, it is not difficult to avoid troublemakers by night.

　　 After five hours of physical work a day, I found that not only did I not feel too tired, but with the supplement of whole meat burgers, my physical fitness continued to grow.

The only trouble is that it is probably handsome, plus it is hot. When working in a vest, there are always aunts with blurred eyes, and even the little girl uses the excuses of sending water and drinks to say something strangely or secretly. talk.

　　 If it’s not just starting to make money and don’t want to cause trouble, you probably won’t have to go back to the orphanage overnight.

　　 And the weekly salary of 48 US dollars and the monthly salary of 192, according to the newspaper, can be regarded as a low-income group. After all, 2 Big Mac burgers, plus French fries, coke set meal is only 1-2 US dollars.

　　 And the American burger is absolutely top, 2 or 3 on the other side of the sky.

　　 The average annual income per capita in Los Angeles last year was 5,000 U.S. dollars, and Li Changheng, with a monthly income of nearly 200 U.S. dollars, was already able to support himself.

　　 As long as he can support himself, Li Changheng has the time and energy to study hard for the university, read the newspaper, talk with people in the rich district who are willing to talk to him, and think of other ways to make money.

　　 During this period, he still kept his promise and received the first 8 dollars in payment.

　　 returned Frank’s money and took him to a two-dollar Burger King meal. The relationship between the two of them has improved a lot.

　　 A month has passed, and Frank suddenly found Li Changheng with an ugly expression, hoping to do odd jobs with him.

　　 Only a few days later did Li Changheng learn that Frank’s parents had signed the divorce.

　　 Frank, who couldn't accept the breakdown of his family for a while, ran away from home without even thinking about it. When he had nowhere to go, he thought of Li Changheng's only friend.

　　 Li Changheng didn't feel annoyed about carrying an oil bottle.

　　 I calculated that with Frank joining, my time would not be so tight. It is completely possible for Frank to do morning and half afternoon work, and then take over after school.

　　 And there are two people who can also take on odd jobs with a larger workload, and it seems that they make more money.

After 　　, UU Reading www.uukavanshu.com appeared from time to time in various wealthy districts of San Francisco.

　　The only trouble is the place to live.

　　 As for housing, Li Changheng instinctively wanted to live in a place with many Chinese people.

The last two worked hard for a week. After they had more money, they rented a 36-square-meter two-bedroom apartment building at least 30 years old for $80 a month in a dilapidated apartment building one block away from Chinatown. Hall small apartment.

　　 is close to Chinatown, and you can also taste the food from the heavens from time to time.

　　 One day in early September, after helping a rich guy, using a factory-built template, spent a day building a small tree house for his daughter, the two received a check with 20 dollars.

　　 Putting the check in his pocket and returning to the bus where he lived, Li Changheng couldn't help looking at Frank who was muttering too tired.

　　 This young 16-year-old with a green face in the movie cheated 1.2 million US dollars in the United States with a fake check in less than a year.

　　 And if I can swindle such a large sum of money, if I remember correctly, there are too many banks in the United States.

　　 Not to mention transnational banks, there are hundreds of interstate banks, and there are a large number of privately opened banks in local counties and cities.

　　 Checks from different banks, as long as there is mutual settlement between the banks, once the bank’s window staff is deceived,

　　 After the check is exchanged for cash, there will not be a second check, but it will be shipped to the bank where the checkbook was opened.

　　 even belonged to the same bank. After the blank check issued by the Morgan Stanley Bank in New York was exchanged for cash at the Morgan Stanley Bank in San Francisco,

　　This check will also be shipped to New York, and when the mutual settlement is done, someone will check whether the check is true again.
