American Fortune Life

After coming out of the church, you can see the most classic signposts at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway Street. Andy stood under the signposts and looked for a while. No one felt his strange behavior. Here, time is money. No one cares about others. Human behavior.

After ending Wall Street's trip, Andy and his party walked one or two blocks west to the World Trade Center site. The 911 of 2001 shocked the world. Looking at the vacant land surrounded by buildings, the reconstruction project is laying the foundation, and construction workers can be seen from time to time.

Andy looked at everything silently, watching the people who passed by the "World Trade Center", and the people who came and went had their own thoughts. From time to time, some pedestrians also showed sadness. Joseph and Kenny looked at the site with serious faces. Andy knew that the pain would stay in all walks of life in the United States for a long time.

Not far from the construction site was a Stars and Stripes flag. Several Americans were speaking excitedly. When they approached, Andy knew that he was giving an anti-war speech.

After listening for a while, Andy returned to the car. "The next stop is Times Square."

Times Square is located in the triangle where 42nd Street, Frode Street and 7th Road intersect. New York usually refers to parks as "squares", and it is neither a park nor a square square, but a triangle. The name originated from the relocation of the head office of the New York Times in 1904. As the center of New York's classical music world, Lincoln Center is the stage that all artists look forward to, and it is also the New York Cultural Center with an opera house, concert hall, and outdoor concert hall. I heard that it used to be a slum, but now it has become an important stage for the performing arts, and it is also the most haunting residential area in New York.

Andy is standing in the triangle, feeling the colorful world that is inflated to infinity. Watching the surging around is the flow of people of different skin colors, different countries, and different nationalities in the world; what is shown is a stage without a stage.

The semi-cylindrical Nasdaq giant advertisement keeps changing the hot and cold faces of black, blue and red. It seems to be telling the unpredictable stock market in this world financial center!

"It really is the crossroads of the world. Maybe having a place here can be regarded as a bad life." Andy looked at the bustling place secretly, feeling that he knew that in this area where the interests had been allocated, look at the surrounding buildings. It is either the Nasdaq big screen and the Times Building, or it is almost impossible to make inroads without hitting a few hundred million dollars.

There is a special type of building in Times Square. There is no one in the building all year round, but it can bring in advertising costs of tens of millions of dollars each year. In 1997, such a building could sell for 117 million dollars.

New York has four distinct seasons, so it's very hot in midsummer, and Andy can't stand the sun a bit. Looking at the time, it's almost noon.

In the morning, I watched several famous sights, and Andy was a bit tired, so I decided to go to the last stop today.

Chinatown in New York is more cluttered, not even the most symbolic Chinatown archway. However, New York's Huaxia City has more than 30 streets and lanes, crisscrossed and full of life.

I found a good-looking restaurant in Huaxia City and had an authentic Cantonese meal. The boss was shocked by Andy's Chinese level, especially Andy said in Mandarin: "I want to eat authentic Cantonese cuisine. Don't make it. I ca n’t eat some sweet and greasy Chinese food, the Chinese food that you invented to fool foreigners. "

The boss's stunned look was funny to think about, because knowing that Andy Huaxiatong, the boss naturally will not be confused, went to the kitchen and explained to the chef in person.

After eating, Andy drank a pot of Longjing tea presented by the boss and talked with the restaurant owner for a while.

This scene of a tall and handsome foreigner chatting with fluent Chinese who spoke fluent Chinese attracted frequent attention from other diners. From time to time, some people could hear Andy's Mandarin level and a strong sense of disobedience.

"You ask the antique shop on this street?" The restaurant owner frowned, wondering how to answer.

Seeing his tangled expression, Andy naturally thought of the other person's concerns, and smiled and said, "I just want to see, I'm curious about the ancient culture of China. Just buy it. "

The restaurant owner said when he heard Andy ’s explanation, "That ’s good. After all, antiques require eyesight and experience. It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between true and false. When you buy, you still have to think carefully. There are dozens of them on this street. The antique shop of the year can still see the things there. There is a antique stall in Heist Street Market near Huaxia City, but the things there depend on eyesight. "

After leaving the checkout, Andy took Joseph and Kenny to find a small plaque with gold letters on a black background in the messy signboard according to the address given by the hotel owner, and wrote "Jubaoxuan".

Andy pushed in the door and walked in. The neatly packed, promenade-like space on both sides was an alloy glass showcase against the wall, and bright lamps illuminated every antique in the showcase.

At the end of the corridor was a long table. The boss saw three foreigners coming in, knew that the customer had come in, and still had a face, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Welcome the three gentlemen to the shop. The shop mainly deals with antiques from the Dynasty, and some antiques from Europe and Russia. I don't know what the gentlemen need?" The owner of the antique shop stepped forward to entertain.

"I don't know Mr. Gui's surname? I was introduced by Mr. Wang from Cantonese Restaurant, mainly interested in the culture of the dynasty, come and take a look." Andy stretched out his hand and said in fluent Mandarin.

"Ah!" The owner of the antique shop was exclaimed in shock by Andy's Mandarin. After all, a foreigner's level of Mandarin is better than him, which is a bit unexpected. He speaks Chinese with a strong concentration. Xiangyin, knowing that I was a bit ill, hurriedly reached out and shook hands with Andy, and apologized, "I'm really sorry, your Mandarin is really good. It scared me. I'm surnamed Chen, what do you call him? It was introduced by Brother Wang, that is his own, what absolute preferences he sees. "

Andy couldn't help glancing at his mouth. Each of these people in the antique industry was human. They said that the smallpox was falling, but it was not soft to kill people, but he said with a smile: "Andy Smith, you can call me Andy Thank you, Mr. Chen for your care. "

"Oh, nothing, so does Mr. Smith have any preferences?" Asked Antique Chen.

"There is no preference, I don't understand it, just because I feel curious and have some understanding of the heavenly culture, so just come and take a look at it first." Andy said indifferently, he didn't know any identification, but It is because now it is a local tyrant, curious about the various antiques auctioned in previous lives.

"That line, you can just look at what you like. I'll give you a discount." Antique Chen knows that Andy really doesn't understand, so he no longer asks, watching Joseph and Kenny look forward to Andy's horse, strong body, With a serious face, they immediately understood that the two were Andy Smith's bodyguards or helpers. This vision is still there.

Andy leaned down slightly and looked at the various antiques, paintings, porcelain, jade, bronze and so on in the showcase. It can be said that it includes almost all kinds of antiques that Andy knows, as well as some European silver tableware. And accessories, more Andy don't know what it is, but on the bracket of each antique there is a string tied to a tag. The tag says the price and the price is clearly marked.

The antique Chen looked a little bit disappointed when Andy walked around and watched the flowers. He thought that he could make a fortune when he encountered the injustice, but he did not expect to be a self-knowledgeable youngster.

After looking around, Andy also found a few interesting things, but he didn't show them. After all, he really didn't know the truth of the things. Although this little money could not be seen in the eyes, but he was caught in the eye. It's still very depressing.

"How's it? Mr. Smith has something to look for? I'll take it out for you, if you want to get started, the price is easy to say." Antique Chen did not have the slightest impatience, and still asked enthusiastically.

"Hehe, there are really a few who like it." Andy smiled and pointed out the antique Chen Chen one by one.

Antique Chen immediately took out a tray and took out what Andy pointed out, then locked the showcase. A group of four people walked to the long table inside. Antique Chen turned on the spotlight on the table, and asked Andy to take a seat. Opposite him, he took out a pair of white gloves and put them on, and started to introduce Andy.

"Mr. Smith, this is a jade pig dragon, also known as jade beast, jade found in Hongshan and other places, also collectively referred to as Hongshan culture. Jade pig dragon is not only an ornament, but also an artifact. This is a kind of totem that is worshipped by the ancestors of the Red Mountain. It is a good thing for you. This jade pig dragon is a rare piece of red mountain antiques that I have collected. "

Andy looked at the antique Chen and gave him a thumbs-up to compliment himself. He couldn't help but feel amused. Yuzhulong knew him, but he didn't know if it was true or not.

"This piece is a bronze lying dog paperweight in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. You can see the shape and lines of this lying dog. Its fine workmanship is definitely a fine work. The last piece of beeswax bracelet in late Qing Dynasty has soft texture and warm color. Chuan is said to be worn by a Qing dynasty grandfather and is very precious. "The antique Chen Shencaiyiyi started to tell the story.

Andy did not interrupt his storytelling, but just listened with a smile, nodding from time to time, reaching out to pick up the jade pig dragon with yellow and white markings and C-shaped holes in the middle. According to the antique Chen Chen, this jade pig The texture of the dragon is sapphire.

"His ~~~" A cold biting coldness penetrated the soul, and a flash of horror flashed in Andy's eyes, hurriedly putting the jade pig dragon back into the tray.

what happened? How could it feel cold? Andy was really a little panicked, watching antique tou Chen to look at his weird gaze, and hurriedly concealed his face with a smile and asked: "What age is this jade pig dragon? What is it for?"
