At the welcoming banquet held by Zhao Zhenzhong and others for the three of Courtman and the other day, although the three of Courtman, White and Jack, who had been unwilling to eat for many days due to the stock market failure, they still don’t know what the exact result is to wait for them, but after hearing what Zhao Zhenzhong said before, they felt hopeful and naturally had a big appetite. Faced with the delicious food on the table, Courtman and the other two seemed to have transformed into the legendary gluttonous, and they all shook their cheeks and ate a lot of food.

Since he has been in China for many years, he has been able to use chopsticks skillfully. Although he has been back to the United States for two or three years, the flexibility of the chopsticks in his hand is obviously not enough to stop eating. In contrast, White and Jack can only use the spoon in his hand to move, and his efficiency is much worse than Courtman. Seeing this, White did not say a word, but just speeded up the frequency of the spoon in his hand and seized the time to fill his stomach. Jack stuffed food into his mouth while humming in a vague way: "God, those two small wooden sticks are so magical! I must learn it too, otherwise I will definitely not be able to grab Courtman in the future." Courtman heard Jack's muttering, although he blushed, he pretended not to hear it and just bury his head and eat.

While accompanying Zhao Zhenzhong, Zhou Hao and the others opened their eyes and saw what the so-called reincarnation of hungry ghosts was like. Zhao Zhenzhong was better. After undergoing large amounts of exercise training in the army, many of their comrades could not compare with the three people in front of them, but they were also swept away the clouds. Zhou Hao was a little stunned. The Jack looked like his mouth was stuffed, but every time he could still stuff food into his mouth and eat happily. Zhou Hao felt a little incredible.

After the meal, the other two obviously had some support. After removing the mat, the other two leaned on the chair and didn't want to move. Zhao Zhenzhong added tea to the few people while starting to chat with them.

"Zhao, the three of us have decided to accept the 5% company shares you mentioned as a way to repay. Sihai Industrial and Huamei Investment Company's opening company in Australia and the Philippines, when are you going to start?" Courtman asked while drinking tea. White was burping while Jack was touching his belly and humming softly.

"Of course, the earlier this matter is, the better." Zhao Zhenzhong said, "After all, we must first obtain mining rights and conduct geological and mineral exploration. After obtaining certain results, we will purchase land, build factories, purchase equipment, recruit workers and other things."

"Zhao, then why don't we directly acquire a ready-made company in Australia and use their original mines, factories, equipment and workers to develop directly? If we do this, we should see the results soon." Courtman was a little confused about Zhao Zhenzhong's intention to explore and build a factory to develop again.

"If this happens faster, it will not achieve the goals of our Sihai Industrial and Huamei Investment Company, and there will be no profit." Zhao Zhenzhong explained, "I have said before that the purpose of starting a company in these two places is to keep Chinese people who are close to us from the domestic war, go overseas to find a way out, and wait until the domestic stability is settled before returning to China. But if you acquire a local company, you will also have to accept the vast majority of the workers in the company, which is not conducive to achieving our goals."

"Another reason is that the cost of workers in Australia is much higher than that of Chinese workers. You should know that the Australian currency is pegged to the pound. If we accept the vast majority of workers in the factory, we will have to spend an additional expense, which is not conducive to the profit of the factory."

"On the contrary, if we start from scratch, although we must accept some people to work according to local requirements, we can take the initiative to control the number of local workers within a certain range and reduce the company's costs. Moreover, the acquired company may not meet our requirements in terms of production technology. If we carry out technological innovation, the time will not be less. It is better to start from scratch and build a brand new company that meets our important requirements."

"Courtman, what Zhao said makes sense." Jack, who was feeling a little uncomfortable, interjected while touching his belly: "Just like the two artillery production lines we bought in the artillery factory, it would be very difficult to transform. If we buy a brand new production line, although it might have cost a little more at the beginning and we have to worry about product sales, at least we don't have to spend so much effort on the transformation."

Courtman thought carefully about the words of Zhao Zhenzhong and Jack, and felt that it made sense, so he changed the subject and asked, "Zhao, when are you going to start working on these things?"

"Haha, I just said that of course, the sooner this matter, the better, but it's not unreasonable." Zhao Zhenzhong smiled, "Today is Thanksgiving. According to American tradition, you should go back and reunite with your family. Even if you are busy, you should send your family a telegram to report your safety so that your family can feel at ease. Besides, the three gentlemen should at least explain to me what your relationship has in Australia and the Philippines, and how can you ensure the success of starting a company? You should also feel at ease?"

After hearing Zhao Zhenzhong talk about Thanksgiving and their family, the three of us thought that we had been spending all of our time in the damn stock market and had almost no contact with our family, we couldn't sit still. "Zhao, I think we should indeed report our family safety to our family. Let's talk to you in detail about Australia and the Philippines when we come back today." The three of us stood up and wanted to go to the telegraph and telephone bureau in downtown New York to communicate with our family.

At that time, although there were already many wired and wireless telegraphs between New York and Boston in the United States, they were far from reaching the level of direct telephone access due to technical limitations in this era. Although the manor where Zhao Zhenzhong and others also had telephone lines leading to downtown New York, they did not lead to Boston. If you want to contact Boston, you can only go to the Telegraph and Telephone Bureau in downtown New York. Of course, Zhao Zhenzhong and others had a radio station specially made by Zhou Hao that could be used to communicate with overseas students in Boston, but this matter could not be known to Courtman and the other two.

However, when the two of them stood up and walked to the door, they all stopped again. Courtman touched the clothes that had just been changed into not long ago and said to Zhao Zhenzhong awkwardly: "Zhao, you know, we are now..."

When Zhao Zhenzhong saw that the three of Courtman and the other two stopped, he was a little strange at first. He could see the movements of several people touching their pockets and the expressions on their faces. He already understood what was going on. Zhao Zhenzhong patted his forehead and said, "It was me who was negligent, wait a moment for me."

Shortly after Zhao Zhenzhong went out, he came back with three envelopes in his hand and handed them to the three people: "This is a gift I have given to the family of the three gentlemen. Please accept it for them. If the three gentlemen report their safety to their families and want to go home to see it, then you might as well go back and have a look first. If you want to come back and continue our topic, I will continue to welcome the three of them in Chinese cuisine."

Courtman and the other two held the envelope in their hands, and naturally understood what was inside, but they were very moved. Since the three guys became penniless in the stock market, they also asked for help from their friends in the past. Unexpectedly, except for a few friends with the same situation who were sitting with them and were full of grievances, other friends with good wealth actually hid from them. In desperation, Courtman remembered Zhao Zhenzhong, a partner of Sihai Industrial in New York, and pulled White, Jack and the other guys to come to the door with a try. He didn't want Zhao Zhenzhong to treat them as usual, and now he is protecting their face and giving money in the name of gifts to their family, which really touched the three of them.

"Zhao, let's go and report your safety, send the gifts and come back. We still want to continue to taste the delicious Chinese food." Jack made a good excuse for the three of them.

"Welcome, then." Zhao Zhenzhong smiled, "Since the three of you are going to come back, then drive the manor car. This is also more convenient."

On the way to downtown New York, White drove, while Jack was a little anxious to open the envelope given by Zhao Zhenzhong. "God! It turned out to be $1,200! Zhao Ke is such a good person!"

"If it were before, this $1,200 would not be in the eyes of us, but at this time, this $1,200 would be a big deal. At least, we don't have to worry about our family going hungry in the next year." Courtman said with deep emotion.

"According to the current price on the market, you can buy 10.8 tons of flour or 2.7 tons of beef for $1,200, which is enough for a family to live a year. We owe a favor to you." White sighed while driving.

"This favor is not very big. The key is that when we start the company in Australia and the Philippines, we will owe even more. Although this is also of great help to Zhao, if we carefully calculate it, it is the opportunity for the three of us to turn things around, and Zhao can at least find other people to help." Courtman saw it very clearly.

"I didn't say it! We just do our best to help Zhao get things done." Jack said on the side, "From what you two said about Zhao before and what Zhao is doing now, I'm optimistic about him!"

"That's right! Helping him is helping ourselves!" White concluded.

Zhao Zhenzhong did not expect that his actions would make the decision of Courtman and the other two to do their best to assist him. Although this decision was based on their own interests, no matter what, it would be of great help to Zhao Zhenzhong and others' next actions. It is precisely because of the efforts of Courtman and the other three to help that Zhao Zhenzhong and others took advantage of the opportunity of this great crisis in the United States to achieve richer results than expected.
