The next day, accompanied by a guide, the group visited the United Nations Headquarters building and the 25-kilometre-long Broadway......

In New York, they'll spend another three days in the neighborhood before heading across the United States. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the first and second days of the first lunar month, Jon and his family couldn't accompany Zhang Nan and his gang to wander around because of work, so they handed them over to the Chinese tour guide.

This is also good, saving a moment of Chinese and English awkwardness.

Before going abroad, he signed a letter of guarantee that he was not allowed to leave the group and act alone during his stay in the United States, but when he really arrived in the United States, this could not be guaranteed at all.

Not to mention Zhang Nan, even a few leading comrades often work in groups of two or three, and they go out to hang out at night.

It's all out, and it doesn't matter what the rules are.

On the second day of junior high school, Zhang Nan proposed to do something with Guan Xingquan, but everyone didn't say anything.

The collective action of the day was shopping, and although it was not much money, shopping was indispensable. And Jon said: There is absolutely no such thing as a kickback for the tour guide they are looking for, and they don't even have to tip, and the new lixiu company will pay.

What are Zhang Nan and the two doing?

Of course, it's antique shops – there are several in Chinatown, and there are a few famous thrift flea markets in New York, so he certainly can't miss them.

Kwan Xingquan was not interested in shopping tours, and most of the dollars he brought with him were given to the old squad leader just in case.

But I didn't expect it. The two went out for a day, but they didn't buy any of them!

The money is almost 20,000 US dollars, and such a big New York, of course, it is enough to find a little thing. In Chinatown, some Qing Dynasty porcelain or something, hundreds of dollars, or even a few dollars, are available, but Zhang Nan can't look at it.

And compared to the domestic one, this price is too high!

Although there are not many bronzes, there are still some picks in the antique market throughout New York. But basically the price is high-grade and low, and there is not much collection value.

However, some antique shop owners told Zhang Nan: Good things are sometimes available, but the price is not low, and it depends on the opportunity.

As for Chinese calligraphy and painting, forget it, it would be better to buy it in the domestic black market and cultural relics stores.

Similarly, there are coins such as silver dollars, which are also available in China, but they are rare and have very few varieties, so they are sold as small plays. As for the ancient goods such as knife coins and cloth coins, they are also much cheaper in China.

There are a lot of foreign gold and silver coins, but they are all at the market price here, so they can't be bought, and Zhang Nan is not very proficient in this.

As for the flea markets, even children's toys that are not used at home are sold, and most of the antiques are Western. There are some things that can barely be called good, but they are just some 19th-century silver tableware or something, and you can't eat them when you buy them.

But it's hard to get the idea: on Sundays and holidays, flea markets are often filled with odd goodies, and that's basically the case in flea markets across the United States.

Today's trip is to inspect the market and increase knowledge.

Western antiques, this line of water is also deep!

Before his rebirth, Zhang Nan could still be regarded as an expert in Chinese antiques, but he also knew about Western antiques and handicrafts at most.

"It seems that after returning to China, I have to find an opportunity to go to my brother-in-law's relatives to ask the system about Western antiques, otherwise even if the baby appears in front of our eyes, we won't be able to recognize it!"

After a day of wandering, Zhang Nan already had a clear understanding.

As for going to the old pedant in the future, it is not to understand the price or anything, but to know the knowledge of Western archaeology in the true sense. As for the value of antiques, in today's capitalist world, those high-grade Western antiques and works of art already have an approximate price standard.

The simplest way to get an idea is from the lot information, estimates and sale brochures printed by so many auction houses every year.

There are also many thrift markets and antique shops: if you ask five bosses about an ancient Roman gold coin that was originally made in bulk, you can probably know the approximate shipping price after asking five bosses and then bargaining.

When they returned to the hotel that night, everyone had something to gain: except for Zhang Nan, they both bought something.

This time I went to the United States, and the big part of the trip was still to come, so I had to keep some money, lest I want to buy it when I got it, and I ended up being shy in my pocket.

The two girls each bought a bag, and this is still the money that Zhang Hui paid for the deadlift: more than 100 dollars each, which is not expensive in the United States, if it is changed to China, it will be five or six hundred yuan to buy a bag?

Die for yourself!

It's very tiring to go shopping, even the girls don't have much energy, and Xiao Jiannan is the same, she wants to sleep after eating at the hotel.

After eating, Zhang Nan didn't go to other rooms to visit the door, and went back to the room directly, tonight is the day of the "Lotto" lottery draw!

"I hope there aren't any problems. ”

Turn on the TV and go to the ABC Finance channel, which will broadcast the lottery live. The volume is turned down, and after taking a shower, I lie in bed and listen to the TV casually, with my eyes closed: there is an alarm clock at the head of the bed, which has been adjusted to 10:55.

I can't fall asleep in a daze, and I'm a little nervous in my heart, plus I need to suppress my excitement.

Finally, the alarm went off.

sat up all of a sudden and turned up the volume: probably stimulated by the huge prize, the live broadcast has begun, and the warm-up activities in the early stage are quite lively.

At 10:59, the lottery machine finally shook!

Zhang Nan's heart is like being mentioned in his throat!

29, 5, 16, 22, 23, Pick 6!

Hit!

The "Amazon butterfly effect" that I was worried about before did not appear, 5, 16, 22, 23, 29, and the preferred number: 6, just as I remembered!

I wanted to yell and vent, but I couldn't help myself, and I just yelled silently in my heart a few times!!

It seems that the lottery of the Americans has not yet produced any demons: maybe it is originally fair, or maybe it is to stimulate the lottery players to buy in the future and hype.

"Whatever, the jackpot is your own anyway!"

But there is one thing that is not pleasant: how many people have won the jackpot?

This question will not be announced until the live TV broadcast at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

"Remember, there's going to be a supercomputer? Can't that be calculated quickly? It's going to take another night?"

However, Zhang Nan could only complain, which was unbearable.

I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, and I didn't get over until three or four o'clock in the second half of the night.

At eight o'clock the next morning, as soon as I turned on the TV, I heard the host on the TV jumping up and down there:

“…… I don't know which lucky winner it is! $318 million! The jackpot is $318 million! The United States is such a place where miracles can be done!

The craziest part is that according to the latest news, 1,600 of the jackpots were from Delaware and were sold at the same point of sale!

Because Delaware law keeps the identity of the winner confidential, that's all we got. But from my personal analysis, it is very likely that one lucky person bought a full 1600 of the same number alone!

There are a total of 1601 entries in the jackpot in this issue, and the other bet is from Los Angeles on the West Coast.

He's lucky, but he's lucky, and he's met a winning partner who was completely uneasy about his cards: he snatched almost the entire treasure trove by himself, leaving him with only a small gold coin.

However, even a small gold coin is at least more than $100,000 after taxes. So that lucky and unlucky friend, you might as well smile and go and accept the prize......"
