The influx of high-quality population has injected new vitality into communities such as Williamsburg. As a result, housing prices began to gradually rise, making the local tax situation better and better.

The community then has the ability to recruit more police officers to patrol and invite better teachers to teach, which can further attract more middle-class people to move in and eventually form a virtuous cycle.

There is a professional term in the United States to describe this situation, called community "gentification".

The revival community plan designed by Zhou Yang for Caroline is to carry out gentrification of Sunset Park and introduce a large number of Chinese residents with high savings rates and affordable housing.

However, the gentrification of the community is not without controversy. The original residents in the community will be forced to move to other places due to the increase in living costs. During the process of population upgrading and replacement, if not properly handled, it is easy to cause friction between new and old residents.

Zhou Yang chose Sunset Park for renovation. One of the important reasons is that the population of this place is not dense. With the disappearance of a large number of jobs in the 1960s and 1970s, the population leaving Sunset Park was as high as 40,000 or 50,000.

Although new residents are constantly moving into the Sunset Park, there are still a large number of dilapidated houses in the community that are not inhabited. In this way, the possibility of conflicts between Chinese people and local residents will be much smaller when they move here.

Zhou Yang is not the kind of person who is ignorant. He can't do the disgusting things that he wants to sell his compatriots for his own interests. At least with his intervention, the Second Chinatown of New York, on Eighth Avenue, Sunset Park, will only develop better than another time and space.

Of course, Zhou Yang could not go to the streets of Manhattan’s Chinatown in person to sell sunset parks to Chinese residents one by one. Instead, he should first contact all the top figures in the Chinese community, and use domestic terms to call them "overseas leaders".

There are many famous Chinese in the United States now, such as the world-class architectural designer Bei Jinming, and Wang An who founded Wang'an Computer Company.

However, what Zhou Yang does not need is a well-known figure in the United States, but a person who wants to have prestige in New York Chinatown. The first thing Zhou Yang thought of was Wang Jialian, a well-known Chinese-American technology tycoon.

The reason why Zhou Yang thought of him was not only because he was a well-known wealthy man in the United States, but also because he grew up in New York, studying and traveling through time since he immigrated to the United States at the age of eight. It can be said that he is truly a big shot from the Chinese community in New York.

People in China are unfamiliar with the name Wang Jialian because the company he founded, CA company, operates enterprise-level software and does not face ordinary consumers. But in fact, domestic banks, telecommunications and other fields use a large number of CA company software.

Wang Jialian is a very famous figure in New York. He bought the NHL's New York Islanders as early as 2000, nearly 20 years earlier than Tsai Chongxin's purchase of the Nets.

However, Zhou Yang checked the information of CA through Merrill Lynch and found that the company was established in 1976. Last month, he just invited Goldman Sachs to become the lead underwriter and officially started the pace of IPO.

If Zhou Yang had thought of CA company half a year earlier, he would even have the opportunity to participate in early venture capital.

However, Zhou Yang was not too disappointed. Wang Jialian had passed away for several years before he traveled through time. The CA company was also swallowed up by other companies, with a purchase price of less than US$20 billion, which is far from comparable to companies such as Microsoft and Oracle.

CA's current valuation is only 10 to 20 million US dollars. Next, it is preparing to go public on Nasdaq. It is estimated that the funds raised will not exceed 5 million US dollars, which is far from comparable to Apple last year.

However, Zhou Yang is still planning to make some bargaining chips on CA. After all, after CA goes public, Wang Jialian's net worth is estimated to reach the level of tens of millions of dollars, and he can no longer be considered a small person in the Chinese community in New York.

So after Lin Siqing and Naoki Nakagawa arrived in New York, Zhou Yang immediately assigned the task of investigating CA company and asked them to collect the situation of the Wang family.

"Mr. Lin, I am Zhou Yang. Today I took the liberty to invite you out for dinner." In the private room of the Yidong restaurant, Zhou Yang was shaking hands with a middle-aged man who was pushing the door in with a smile.

Yidong Restaurant is located on East Broadway Street in Chinatown, Manhattan. It is a restaurant that runs Hu Jiancai. The owner Yang Gongde is the chairman of Hu Jiancai in New York.

Hu Jian has always been a famous overseas Chinese hometown in China. Since the 1960s, many Hu Jianhai crew members who traveled international routes would jump ship to stay in New York Chinatown when the ship was docked at New York Harbor.

Because there were so many people from Hu Jian who jumped from the ship, Hong Kong ship companies have refused to hire seafarers whose ancestral home is Hu Jian since the 1970s.

After the first group of Hu Jianren who stayed in New York took root, they quickly brought their relatives, neighbors and friends to New York. After nearly twenty years of legal and illegal immigration, Hu Jianren has become the second largest village party in New York Chinatown, second only to the eastern Guangdong people.

However, Mr. Lin Jianzhong, who was invited by Zhou Yang today, was not from Hu Jian, but from Xinning County, eastern Guangdong Province.

Cantonese in a broad sense can be divided into Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, and Hakka dialect. The real Cantonese - Cantonese can be subdivided into many areas. Because Siyi is the most famous overseas Chinese hometown in eastern Guangdong Province, Siyi dialect has become the main popular Cantonese overseas.

Siyi dialect is traditionally represented by Xinshen, but Xinning dialect has the greatest influence overseas. Because Xinning County is the county with the largest number of foreigners in the entire Siyi region.

Lin Jianzhong followed his family to Hong Kong at the age of nine, and his family immigrated to New York at the age of 17. His Mandarin level was not good, so Zhou Yang simply communicated with the other party in English.

"It is said that Mr. Lin just returned to Hong Kong for a visit. I wonder if Lin's Garment Group is planning to return to Hong Kong to invest?" Zhou Yang exchanged a few greetings with the other party and began to talk about the other party's career.

"Mr. Zhou is worthy of working in an investment bank, and his news is very informed. I have this idea. After all, Manhattan's Chinatown is narrow and crowded, so it is not a good choice for building a factory.

What's more, the labor costs in Hong Kong are much cheaper than in New York." Lin Jianzhong nodded and said.

"It's a pity that I didn't know Mr. Lin earlier, otherwise I could welcome you in Hong Kong. In fact, Hong Kong is not a good investment choice, its land costs may not be cheaper than New York, and workers' wages are also rising rapidly.

If Mr. Lin really intends to return to Asia to invest in the garment industry, I suggest you directly choose the Deep Sea Special Zone next to Hong Kong. Reform and opening up are being implemented in China. The Deep Sea Municipal Government has just established an export industrial park this year, and I am one of the leaders of this project.

The first batch of standard factories in the Export Industrial Park will be built before the end of this year. At the beginning of the year, we signed entry agreements with more than 20 companies in Hong Kong, including several local garment companies in Hong Kong.

After all, domestic wages are much lower than those in Hong Kong, let alone New York. The Deep Sea Municipal Government will recruit employees targeted for companies entering the Export Industrial Park.
