Chapter 148 The Sensation Before the Concert

With the arrival of national Mathematical Olympiad teams one after another, the Huaxia delegation's student university also became nervous.

The six students staying in the hotel basically didn't have any other recreational activities except doing problems and reading books. Even Yang Fan, who was more energetic, was infected by this atmosphere, and reviewed the math problems with peace of mind.

"It's a waste of time." Yang Fan murmured, the high school Olympiad was no longer his concern, and he had to do this in order not to be conspicuous and annoying to teachers and students, which really made him very embarrassed.

"Why does everything seem to be concentrated in these few days?"

Yang Fan had a premonition that the publication of that paper should be within the last week.He secretly observed the trading volume of the US capital market on his mobile phone.

"There seems to be an invisible black hand that has started to make moves." In the past few days, the world economic index has been generally stable, and the trading volume is not very large.

The NASDAQ and NYSE in the United States have short-selling index by segment. Those black hands are afraid of causing too much noise, and the small-amount short-selling of the index was discovered by Yang Fan, who is always paying attention to this movement.

"Hmph, it's so easy to take advantage of this bargain, and it's almost enough to eat as much as you eat, and you won't lose money."

In the room, Yang Fan looked at the mirror and took care of his luggage. He wore a neatly ironed black tuxedo, with the back hem stretched to his knees, a close-fitting white shirt as the base, and a black tie tied tight. Wearing this outfit, he looked a bit out of spirit. Same.

Yang Fan looked left and right, and felt very awkward, as if he seldom dressed so formally.

"Yang Fan, you're so handsome." Teacher Qian teased at the door.Today is Yang Fan's performance, the time is [-]:[-] pm, the security in the United States is extremely bad at night, Teacher Qian decided to go with him.

He is mainly for the safety of the students, and the second is naturally to see the world.He has never enjoyed a high-end concert.

If it wasn't for the student's blessing, he would only be able to buy a ticket with half a year's salary.

"Let's go, the car called by Li Yunfei is waiting downstairs."

As soon as they arrived at the door, Teacher Qian turned around and told: "Zhang Zhi, Li Jiafan, stay in the hotel and don't go out. I will ask Teacher Zhou to take care of this place."

"Mr. Qian, you take Yang Fan out and don't take us. This is too biased." Li Jiafan was very dissatisfied. He came to the United States for several days. Except for strolling around during the day, he didn't even know what the night scene was like. boring.

"Is it that concert? Yang Fan is going to perform?" Li Yunfei came to the door that day, and Zhang Zhi connected the events before and after, and guessed that it was almost inseparable.

Recently, the hype of the major TV stations in New York, the United States has turned against Yingtian, and his classmate Yang Fan is wearing a tuxedo. He thinks he has found the truth.

The two students wanted to go out with them. Teacher Qian understood this mentality, and even he was curious.It's okay to just take care of one person or be the protagonist of the concert. No matter how many people there are, it's hard for him to explain to his superiors.

"That Li Yunfei and Yang Fan's family are family friends. I heard that Yang Fan came to visit in the United States, and I gave two tickets by the way. I heard that one ticket is very expensive, and you can't buy it in the market. You two can read in your room with peace of mind. .”

What Teacher Qian said is half true and half false, this matter will not be hidden until tomorrow.

"Really?" Zhang Zhi didn't believe it at all, his eyes lingered on Yang Fan for a long time, feeling envious and helpless.

"Let's go." Teacher Qian called Yang Fan, took the elevator all the way to the garage, and set off for Carnegie Hall.

At the entrance of the concert hall, Li Yunfei's manager was waiting not long after the car set off. Today he didn't pick up Yang Fan directly because he couldn't leave here.

He handles the logistics of the show, big and small. The two protagonists should mainly pay attention to the perfect performance in the end. In this way, he is the busiest.

"If Yang Fan develops in the music circle in the future, seeing how hardworking I am, he might not have no chance."

The manager is determined to perform well for the sake of long-term development. Grabbing Yang Fan is a golden job. At such a young age, he can stay in the international music circle for at least 30 years.

The agent deliberately left the gate 200 meters away, showing his sincerity in welcoming him.Suddenly, someone tapped on the shoulder.

"Does this gentleman want a ticket?" A young Caucasian man asked with a pretended gentle smile.Most of his face is hidden under the peaked cap, looking mysterious.

Brokers are interested, and scalpers have been repeatedly banned all over the world. The more popular the category, the more profitable it is.He only heard that this concert was highly hyped, but he really didn't know how much it was.

"how much is it?"

The young man approached, looked around nervously, and showed half of the only ticket.

With the help of the light, the economic man saw the picture and murmured in his heart, "It seems to be real."

"7 thousand yuan." The man said.

"What?" The slightly obese agent squeezed his whole face together and shouted, "The market price is only 550 US dollars, which is too expensive."

Seeing him, the young man seemed really interested, and said in a low voice, "Can you really buy it for a few hundred yuan? I told you, this price is already the lowest in the surrounding area. On the Internet, some people have hyped it to tens of thousands."

Thousands?The manager's eyes widened. Isn't that nearly 20 times, this is really...

It's less than an hour since we left the venue. The concert is not a movie. You can enter the concert at any time. You can enter the concert at least 10 minutes in advance, and latecomers are not allowed to enter.

This is a respect for high art, no interruptions during the show, feel free to enter and move around.

Thinking of this, the agent understood that if he was not in a hurry and wanted to make a move before the opening, this person would not be willing to sell it for seven thousand dollars.

"One is not enough, I want at least five." The agent pretended to buy, and was going to hear how many scalpers still had in the market.

The man flashed a hint of surprise, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Sorry, sir, the most I can get is one more ticket from my colleague. These tickets are very rare."

"Forget it, I'm with my partner." The manager felt a little regretful, nodded and ran away for a few meters.

He took out a cigarette and lit it, leaning against the wall and puffing.The light in this section is dim, just facing the gate, and people entering and exiting the gate can see it.

When his eyes returned to the scalper, the latter found a middle-aged man again, and without exchanging a few words, the two ran to a dark place to make a deal.

"Seven thousand dollars." Looking back at Li Yunfei's performance tickets in recent years, the agent has never seen such a high price.

He seemed to see countless money rolling in, status, reputation, wealth and everything.

"Crunch." A red luxury car stopped at the gate, the perfect fluid lines flickering in the lights.

The car door opened, and the purple evening dress was overflowing with flamboyance, and the long golden hair and the perfect bare back sparkled in the hearts of the people.

"This...this...isn't this Angela, a popular actress in Hollywood?" The manager picked his eyes in disbelief.

A racing movie a few months ago, with a global box office of nearly 20 billion US dollars, made her reputation a step further.

It was privately rumored that this woman was not well-educated, her artistic accomplishment was almost zero, and the only thing she could sell was her appearance and figure.

"I'm here to catch up on the popularity of the concert." The manager secretly disdainful, but at the same time he felt a sense of pride that the oriental performance was recognized by the upper class in the West.

The woman's evening dress dragged the floor, pinching the skirt of the evening dress with one hand, and climbing up the stairs.

"Crack, click." The spotlights on both sides flickered, and more than [-] media outlets were in place.

"New York Daily, Manhattan Morning Post, USA Today..." The agent, who has been in contact with the major media in the United States for a long time, counted the heads, and every time he reported one, he became more and more motivated.

"It's all first-class American media, and tonight is simply a gathering of American celebrities."

"Oh, Toms, a Hollywood actor."

"Hey, Philip the sports star."

"Ah, great singer Bovarrofe."

The economic man stood there for half an hour, luxury cars kept coming out of the gate, big stars and great artists appeared one by one, and by the end, he was already exhausted.

Another black car stopped, and a pair of middle-aged men stepped out of the car, arm in arm.

"The mayor of New York and his wife, even these two Taoists were shocked."

The cigarette on his fingertips burned his skin, and a long piece of ash was attached to the cigarette, "Hiss." The manager gasped, not sure if he was burned or shocked.

"After today, people will remember a name."

"The inheritance of Chopin, the world's top musician - Yang Fan."
