Chapter 10: Robin Duck

Leaving his aunt's house, no one gave Ye Dongqing free food, and there were dozens of dollars left in his pocket, forcing him to find a way to make money.

Speaking of ways to make money, there is a saying that the difficult will not, the will not be difficult, he is not too worried, and he is still in the mood to take a nap, until nearly four o'clock, he packed his things and went out lazily.

I was going to talk to the old man who had cancer, but unfortunately the other party was not there, Ye Dongqing went out again with his schoolbag on his back and squeezed the subway to find someone on the Upper East Side.

Also in Manhattan, the price of goods in the bustling area of the SC district is slightly higher than that in the broken area of the XC area, which is understandably due to the increase in operating costs. In order not to affect the future, gloves, masks, and hats must be worn, after all, they are preparing to commit crimes, and it is best not to be remembered by others.

Ye Dongqing went to the Wal-Mart supermarket, bought what he wanted, and was very familiar with this side of the road, he put on his hat after going out, blended into the crowd and walked east.

The entire New York City is divided into five parts in terms of administrative division, namely the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, and the East River, Hudson River, etc.

There are also small islands such as Roosevelt Island and U Than Island, where the famous Statue of Liberty is also located, and locals rarely go there except for silly tourists because there is nothing interesting about it.

Among these districts, Manhattan is the richest and most famous, and the whole of Manhattan is divided into Uptown, Midtown, and Downtown, the smallest and most densely populated.

As the economic and cultural center of the entire United States, it has the world's largest concentration of high-rise buildings, the headquarters of most of the companies on the Fortune 500 list, and the headquarters of the United Nations.

If you want to live in Manhattan, you can't do it without money, Ye Dongqing used to have a big house on the Upper East Side, but now it's gone.

Now in the area where he is located, any decent house is worth more than a million dollars, and the rent is also not cheap, and it takes people about fifteen to twenty years to buy a house and rent it out to earn back the capital. Considering the rent-to-sale ratio and the average salary of $50,000 or 60,000 in New York, the land price is reasonable, and it is inevitable that there will be some costs to pay if you want to live in one of the most prosperous areas in the world.

Manhattan has high housing prices, and the Upper East Side, in Manhattan, is a wealthy area of the rich, and the environment is many times better than where he currently lives. Far away, he saw an art shop across the road, the sign looked a little old, that was the destination of his trip......

There was a lot of traffic on the road, and I walked more than 200 meters forward, mixing in the crowd and crossing the zebra crossing.

Pedestrians are in a hurry, the steps are fast and big, just to get off work, many white-collar workers have to squeeze the subway and bus, in the face of the huge pressure brought by living in the city, most of them are not easy to simply live.

Ye Dongqing was carrying a black backpack, and pedestrians passed him one by one, and came to the door of the store called "Prometheus Crafts" without hurry, and directly pushed the door open and walked in.

The shop is filled with porcelain, armor, jade, watches, and other miscellaneous items, most of which are modern crafts, and the prices are so high that they seem to treat customers as wrongdoers who don't know anything.

In the United States, there is no such thing as "eye-catching", and you can get an invoice for buying antiques from a store, and if the goods are different from the description of the store, you can get due compensation. Therefore, this leads to words such as "modern crafts" and "imitations" written on the label, and the real product is also specially marked with age and price information.

The boss is about forty years old, short in stature, and a little obscene in appearance, holding a Rolex in his hand and wiping it carefully, his eyes on Ye Dongqing.

Seeing this little guy with a hat and mask covering his face and wearing gloves on his hands walking in, he felt a trace of vigilance in his heart, purely a professional habit, and quietly walked two steps to the side to the place where the gun was placed.

Ye Dongqing had no doubt that as long as he showed even the slightest threat, the middle-aged boss nicknamed "Rubin Duck" in front of him would point a gun at his head, and it was not the first time he had come to this store.

Selling crafts under the guise of selling crafts, the store is famous in the Manhattan Underworld.

Robin Duck does all kinds of business, all of which are shady industries, such as forging passports and personal information, selling unnumbered firearms, contacting scavengers for help, and even spending money to buy murderers and launder money, he can find a way.

Straight to the point, Ye Dongqing raised his hand to show that he had no idea of being an enemy, and said in a relaxed tone: "Rubin Duck, I want to do a business with you, don't be so nervous, this is just a disguise, I don't want you to remember my face." ”

Finding that he knew his nickname, Robin Duck was still vigilant, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I was about to close the door, and the hospital called to tell me that my wife had given birth." ”

When they met for the first time, they didn't have an acquaintance to introduce him, and for safety reasons, he didn't want to do business from unknown sources.

"Your wife, those who are a few hundred dollars a night are not your wife, I know a lot about you, don't lie in front of me. ”

Ye Dongqing is not a fledgling hairy boy, after the business became bigger, he cooperated with Rubin Duck and spent money to let him deal with some things. There are six passports hidden in his hand, five of which are from the hands of the obscene middle-aged man in front of him, all of whom can pass through the immigration security check and have drunk a few times together.

Directly put the backpack on the glass cabinet, and continued to say: "The bag contains some of the questions for the ACT and SAT tests at the end of the month, and if it works well, you can easily make a hundred thousand dollars through it, and a whole bunch of rich kids need them." Give me $30,000 in cash, and the questions will be yours. ”

The time was too short and there were no ready-made sales channels, so Ye Dongqing conservatively estimated the figure of 100,000 US dollars.

He understood that Rubin Duck must have a way to exchange test questions for money, and he had heard this guy boast in his previous life, saying that he even helped a desperate unlucky guy sell a kidney and a cornea on the black market, and he always had a way to turn popular test questions into wealth.

"$30,000? Don't mess with me, or I'm going to call the police." "The reason why Robin Duck got such a nickname is that he speaks like Donald Duck, and he is naturally hoarser than ordinary people, and he has never seen anyone who does this business, and he is already impatient.

It was not easy to rush from the XC District to the Upper East Side, how could Ye Dongqing return empty-handed, and said with a hooligan smile: "Okay, I just happened to talk to them, about your betrayal of the Gambino family members, I think those mafia members will definitely come over to thank you."

Don't try to kill me, even if I lose a hair in your shop, this message will be released. I only need $30,000, fair trade, and the test paper is absolutely fine......"
