Friday, April 17.

The sun is shining in New York, and the weather forecast says that today's temperature is 8 to 17 degrees Celsius - Zhang Nan himself converted it to Fahrenheit, which is suitable for travel.

Zhang Nan arrived in New York on the third day of the first-class flight, and went to the bank yesterday, his assets are still increasing in value, Nicole and the bank are doing a good job.

The nearly 20-hour journey was much easier than the last time I was in New York, and at least I slept much more comfortably - although it was not as developed as the first-class seats in 20 years later, the wide leather seats could be folded down a lot, and finally there was no need to "sit and sleep".

Moreover, after arriving in New York, I went through the same passage as the Americans, and the customs clearance was very fast.

Yesterday Zhang Nan also met Nicole's assistant and her classmate for the first time, Jenny Hathaway, a small and brown-haired beauty.

At Citibank, a full-time financial advisor like Nicole can equip herself with an assistant and recommend it to the bank herself, with great autonomy.

If there is no suitable person, the bank will assign you one.

Nicole directly recommended her old classmates who worked in the financial credit center of Citibank's New Jersey branch: New York is the world's financial center, plus the salary is good and there is a future for development, Jenny Hathaway agreed without hesitation.

After the bank's business was completed, yesterday afternoon, accompanied by Nicole, Zhang Nan went to Fifth Avenue to buy a few sets of suitable clothes, and also bought a Patek Philippe watch.

Before returning to China last time, Zhang Nan was low-key to the end, and basically didn't buy anything for himself. This trip was to be retouched a little, so I consulted Nicole's opinion, and as a result, the financial consultant directly took the initiative to transform into a super shopping guide.

A total of more than 30,000 US dollars was spent, and it was not a top-level luxury, but it was just a low-key occasion that met the needs of oneself.

The watch is a top brand, but it is not a limited edition, luxury model, it is the most ordinary and best-selling model.

Seeing that Nicole was still wearing a very simple "Timex", I felt a little strange, "Nicole, your income should not be low, do you want to change the watch?"

Nicole's clothes are famous brands, and working in a bank requires an image, but watches are classic American brands: to put it bluntly, they are the favorite watches of the general public, but the elite of Wall Street wear very little.

The president of the United States does not count, unless he wants to cause trouble for himself, it is better to wear American brands all the time.

"A gift from family. ”

After saying that, there was no follow-up, and Zhang Nan didn't care: don't think that many Americans leave their parents to live as soon as they become adults, in fact, Americans have a very strong family concept.

There's very little talk about family at work, so it's not surprising that Nicole said it was a gift from her family.

However, the original plan to give Nicole a Patek Philippe women's watch stopped there: it was not a non-trivial thought, but people did their best to do so much for themselves and made so much money, and they were generally grateful.

.....

When he saw those invitations and materials yesterday, Zhang Nan didn't know what to say at first!

The auction in Hong Kong is normal, it is a special session for porcelain and calligraphy and painting, but this so-called oriental art special sale in New York made Zhang Nan cry and laugh!

The East is the East, that's true, but here's the thing: nothing is an antique from China!

What's even worse is that nearly 200 lots are all of the same variety!

The auction time is only one day, which is the rhythm of continuous battles from 9 to 5!

Nicole also said that she hoped to go to Xiangjiang together, and now Zhang Nan understood: this girl was treating herself as a second fool, deceived herself to New York first, and then set off for Xiangjiang.

Of course, the possibility that Nicole is really an antique "idiot" cannot be ruled out.

"Oriental Art Auction......?"

But seeing Nicole's expression of repudiation-forget it, forget it, be deceived by a beautiful woman once, and such a trip is pleasing enough to the eye.

And the brain turned, the special auction of "Oriental Art" will also have some effect on filling your own collection, and there may be surprises.

The surprise is not in the auction item, but in what may arise in the future.

It's just possible.

Zhang Nan and Nicole are wandering around the Brooklyn Flea Market, which is right on the Hudson River, and there aren't many stalls today, but it's enough for the two of them to hang out.

Neither of them wore any suits or formal suits, they were both dressed in casual sportswear, which was also in line with the identities of the flea market crowd.

Old furniture, old clothes, trinkets.......

First-time visitors will be dazzled!

In the bank, Nicole Lopez is a high-class gold collar, but when she arrives here, she becomes an ordinary American girl, and she can fight with the stall owner's aunt for 300 rounds when she buys a small hairpin!

The small silver hairpin is delicate, with a row of crystals on top. New, in the flea market there are not only old goods, but also trinkets sold are basically new crafts.

didn't let Zhang Nan pay for it, Nicole bought it for $18, and put it on the mirror on the stall and tried it on.

Obviously, it doesn't match the sportswear - Zhang Nan thought viciously: "It doesn't match the ones that I wear to work in the bank, and when the time comes, I will become a girl!"

It's not so easy to pick up treasures at the stalls, I've been shopping for more than half of them, and Zhang Nan hasn't picked up a thing to get started, so he has helped Nicole several times.

However, when the two of them casually turned around a row of stalls and turned into the last row of sheds in the flea market, Zhang Nan's eyes were attracted by one thing!

The stall owner is a bearded American man in his 50s, and most of the stall is made up of military products -- New York has one of the strictest gun controls in the United States, and there are no guns on the stall.

But what old helmets, goggles, carrying equipment, inert bullets, shell casings, bayonets, daggers...... World War II, Vietnam War, American Army, German Army, Japanese Army....

Miscellaneous everything!

The most conspicuous are the three long knives - two RB sabers, one of which is a Japanese non-commissioned officer knife, which is commonly known as the "iron rod", which can be seen at a glance from the aluminum grip.

The other handle is wrapped around the ribbon, revealing a row of blue on the inside, which is a devil's captain's knife.

It is not surprising that the saber of the devil of World War II appeared on the stall in the United States, and the American GIs had this bite at the beginning: it is a big harvest to have the saber of the devil on the battlefield!

And the U.S. military stationed in Japan in the forties and fifties also collected a lot of good things from devils in RB to return home, including this saber and katana, of course.

That would make most of the RB people poor to death!

Zhang Nan stepped forward, directly picked up the captain's knife and another long knife, and handed the long knife in his right hand to Nicole.

Nicole took it in confusion: How can there be such a thing?
