Hearing Zhang Chi's words, Nell was stunned, blurted out a curse word, and then asked: "Who?"
Zhang Chi said: "I don't know, but Burris asked me to go there."
Nell said: "I'll go with you, Sang Ou Fu Bi Qi!"
The use of illegal workers is almost an open secret in this area. Which rancher would dare to pat his chest to show that there is no such person in his ranch?
The profit from raising cattle is so small. If all the workers hire American cowboys, it doesn’t matter whether these cowboys are enough. Just say that the wages of these people are much higher than those of Cannon and other illegal workers. You care about American cowboys not only for their wages.
Do you want to buy various insurances for them? No! That’s illegal.
If everything is done according to the rules, then everyone should just plant grass instead of raising cows.
Because of this, this matter is an open secret. Everyone knows it but no one tells it.
"What the hell, just a few days after the good days, trouble comes again." Zhang Chi muttered.
Nell spoke to his wife and followed Zhang Chi to find Burris.
When we arrived at the place, we quickly spotted Burris and Miller.
When he saw Zhang Chi, Burris said: "You call Cannon and ask him to leave the ranch quickly."
Zhang Chi knew that the matter could not be delayed, so he called Cannon directly. This was not the first time Cannon encountered such a situation. He immediately agreed on the phone and said he would leave immediately.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Chi looked at Burris: "Who reported it?"
"The news from Senator Jonathan has just been sent here, so you should prepare well," Burris said.
Congressman Jonathan was the junior congressman who came to the Burris family's party last time. Zhang Chi did not expect that someone on his side would report to him.
"Then I have to find time to thank you," Zhang Chi said.
Burris said: "Don't worry. In a few months, Jonathan will run for election. Then you can give appropriate support."
Zhang Chi understands that it is impossible for others to help him for nothing, but this is normal. Interests are exchanged. In society, I help you and you help me.
Politics is as dark as a crow in the world, and Zhang Chi doesn't want to be a pure white crow.
Nell then asked: "Who is it?"
Burris said: "Jonathan didn't say, but I guessed who it was from his words."
Zhang Chi also drew a circle and had a target of suspicion. The farmers and ranchers would definitely not do it, because a few of them were clean, and no one would be stupid enough to bring this matter to the table.
explain.
It is impossible for the cowboys, whether they are stationed or not, to expose this matter. So when the ranch is busy, who will they call?
This matter has actually formed a chain of interests. If the cowboys tell the truth, no rancher will dare to hire him to work on their ranch in the future.
Then the rest is easy to guess. Zhang Chi cannot say that he is 100% sure, but he is at least 80% certain that his new neighbor did it.
Burris asked Zhang Chi: "Who do you think it is?"
It was obvious that Burris knew who it was. Jonathan was engaged in politics. He would definitely not reveal the information to Burris explicitly. If Burris was not stupid, he would naturally be able to hear the implication.
Don’t think that only people from our country know how to do it. Americans are also unambiguous about it.
It seems that nothing has been said, but you can know everything you want from the words, as long as you are not completely stupid.
As for today's matter, did Jonathan violate confidentiality regulations? That's definitely not the case, because literally it cannot be said that Jonathan told this matter, but Burris heard it.
Therefore, there is no shortage of human beings in this world, and no matter how good the rules are, there are still loopholes.
“Good neighbor!”
Zhang Chi replied, "Good neighbor."
Burris said nothing, but his expression already gave the answer.
Nell was shocked: "I really can't believe this person is so sinister."
"Then what should I do now?" Zhang Chi said.
Burris said: "Ask your lawyer!"
So Zhang Chi thought for a moment and wanted to call the uncle's lawyer.
Burris said: "Call Leonard, he has dealt with this kind of thing."
After hearing this, Zhang Chi called Leonard.
Leonard listened, thought for a moment and said, "Tell me what happened in detail."
Zhang Chi had nothing to say here, so he told what happened.
Leonard thought for a while and said: "You'd better admit that it happened, but you have to show that you have no knowledge at all... Remember, you have no idea that he is an illegal worker, you just hired him because you knew him."
Leonard quickly came up with a solution.
"The fine is estimated to be a large amount of money, maybe 100,000 US dollars."
Fuck! Zhang Chi was cursing in his heart. Damn it, I finally had hundreds of thousands in my pocket, and now I have to pay a fine.
"What about Cannon?" Zhang Chi asked.
Leonard said: "That's a matter for the Immigration Department."
"Hold!"
Zhang Chi scolded him directly and then said, "Leonard, I didn't mean to scold you."
"I know, if you believe me, leave it to me," Leonard said.
Zhang Chi knows that he can trust Leonard because he is a lawyer. If he hires him, he will do his best for him. Lawyers here in the United States eat a lot of fame. If your reputation is ruined, then your reputation will be ruined.
The lawyer has just finished his work, and his small matter is not worth having his reputation ruined.
"Okay, I will listen to you however you want me to cooperate," Zhang Chi said.
Leonard suggested a solution.
Zhang Chi has no choice but to stay here any longer. He has to find Leonard now.
After a few words with Nell, Burris and others, Zhang Chi took Xiao ran back to his car and drove to Folsom.
When they arrived at Folsom, they met Leonard. Zhang Chi listened to Leonard's instructions on what to pay attention to, and then drove with him to the prosecutor's office in Folsom.
There is no prosecutor's office in the United States. The prosecutor's office is the prosecutor's office. Usually this thing is together with the court. For example, in Folsom, there is a prosecutor's office in the court.
Leonard talked with the prosecutor, and Zhang Chi was also "self-defeating". What's more, Zhang Chi didn't know that Cannon was an illegal worker.
As for whether they really don't know or they don't know, the prosecutor doesn't care, and it's impossible to get into it. If you get caught in this matter, you'll be unlucky, but it's just a fine, so you don't know!
Everyone is unaware! This is normal.
The facts were clear, and Cannon's side quickly appeared at the police station, so Zhang Chi's punishment was quickly handed down.
The fine was tens of thousands of dollars, much less than originally expected.
I don’t know if it’s because the municipal government is not short of money now, so it’s a favor to Zhang Chi this time, or something.
After paying the money, Zhang Chi left the court and went to see Cannon.
He knew what Cannon had to face and where he was coming from! For Cannon, who had finally come here to support his family, this was a big blow.
Originally, Zhang Chi thought Cannon would run away, but he didn't know how Leonard talked to him. Finally, Cannon decided to stand up and said that he had never mentioned to Zhang Chi, the boss, that he was an illegal worker.
This can be regarded as helping Zhang Chi in a certain way.
Accompanied by Leonard, Zhang Chi came to the police station.
When he asked to see Cannon, Zhang Chi was not blocked and was only accompanied by Leonard into a small room where people were temporarily detained.
The small room is not big, with four or five compartments. Usually, most of the drunkards are detained here. It is a small place with few idlers and not many criminals. It is not like a big city where there are not enough cells to lock up.
Now only Cannon is locked up here.
When Zhang Chi entered, Cannon was lying on the bed, huddled up and leaning against it.
Hearing the noise, Cannon turned his head and found that Zhang Chi was coming. He forced a smile from his face.
"BOSS!"
Zhang Chi's heart tightened when the BOSS shouted.
"Cannon".
Zhang Chi didn't know what to say. If Cannon didn't work for him, this might not have happened, because his good neighbor was obviously targeting him. If he replaced him with Li Nong and Wang Nong, he would have the same result. Zhang Chi felt that
He seems to have got Cannon involved.
Coming to the United States to work illegally is like smuggling people into the United States. It is not an easy task.
"BOSS, I have been working for more than ten years. I haven't been home for a long time. It's just the right time to go home and take a rest. Don't worry, I have already thought about the ranch. You can hire a cowboy named Brian.
He works well and is diligent, and he doesn’t have any trouble like me...".
Cannon talked a lot, all about the ranch, without mentioning himself at all.
Zhang Chi didn't know how he felt now. He just felt that his heart was blocked.
"I see".
Zhang Chi thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything more suitable to say to persuade Cannon.
The two talked for about ten minutes, and then a police officer came over to urge them.
"I'm leaving," Zhang Chi said.
Cannon hummed.
Just when Zhang Chi was about to walk out of the room, Cannon suddenly said: "BOSS, you are a good BOSS, the best BOSS I have ever encountered!"
Zhang Chi didn't dare to turn his head, he was afraid that Cannon would see his tears.
After leaving the police station and arriving at the parking lot, Zhang Chi stood next to the car door.
After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Chi raised his foot and kicked his own wheel. He kept cursing, "Fake, Fake, Fake!"
Leonard said nothing next to him, letting Zhang Chi vent his emotions.
After a while, Zhang Chi calmed down.
"Can Cannon be kept?"
Zhang Chi turned to Leonard and asked.
Leonard was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Chi in surprise.
"Can you please keep Cannon?"
Zhang Chi asked again.
Leonard said: "This is the United States, and there are very few things that money can't solve!"
"How much?"
"a lot of!"
"Be specific," Zhang Chi asked through gritted teeth.
"Two hundred thousand dollars! And your ranch needs people like him very much..." Leonard said.
Leonard is talking about the terms for introducing talents to the United States. This is not an immigration provision, but a provision to help American companies obtain outstanding talents from around the world. Generally speaking, American companies need this person very much and are willing to pay for these people.
Sponsorship, allowing these people to quickly obtain work visas so that they can play a role in the United States.
This is part of the United States’ plan to seize talent from around the world, and it is also one of the ways many politicians brag about making America great again.
"And this two hundred thousand will not be refunded to you. You have to think about how many cowboys you can hire for two hundred thousand, with at least thirteen or four years' salary. For one cowboy, this account is easy to calculate."
Leonard continued.
Zhang Chi thought for a long time, and he was also calculating in his mind at this moment. The money is really not a small amount. A normal American family cannot save so much money in ten years.
But he soon figured it out. Cannon worked very well and worked hard on his ranch, which saved him a lot of worry. An employee was indeed easy to find, and hard-working cowboys were also easy to find.
But the world is not just business where you buy and I sell, there must be something else between people, so that this world is worth your time.
Cannon didn't run away. Zhang Chi didn't know how Leonard persuaded him, but he didn't run away. Although it didn't have a big impact on Zhang Chi in the end, you have to admit it.
Gritting his back molars, Zhang Chi said: "Isn't it just two hundred thousand? I gave it to you!"
As soon as these words came out, Leonard was dumbfounded, because he had encountered countless such situations so far, and he was the first one who was willing to spend this money.
Americans are very realistic and can calculate accounts very shrewdly, but that doesn’t mean they like the indifference between people. Everyone wants to have a good boss, and everyone wants to have someone to stand up for them in difficult times.
And out.
Leonard thinks Zhang Chi is quite stupid, but from the bottom of his heart, he likes such a fool.
