Chapter 63: The Antique Shop in Chinatown

Go to the mall first.

I went and bought a coat to wear over my suit, a thin sweater underneath, and thicker socks.

In this way, it is much warmer.

Watermelon head directly bought a padded jacket, and the shoes were also replaced with Martin boots, and the two stayed at the Sili Carlton Hotel, which was relatively high-end, and the rooms were next to each other, so they asked him to come over to help, and of course Han Chudong paid for the room fee.

After returning to the room, I opened the box again to make sure that there was no damage to the items, and then there was nothing to do until tomorrow morning, and I took the time to read the trade fair process and precautions issued by the Toy Association, which is not too complicated and strict, and it is the same whether you see it or not.

Small exhibitors like Han Chudong.

The sole purpose of existence is to contribute some money to keep the Toy Association running.

In addition, it is also to fill up the number of trade fairs, so that only those toy giants are left to entertain themselves, to say that small exhibitors have no chance of success, mainly depends on how the products are brought.

As soon as I was lying in bed and turned on the TV, ready to rest for a while, there was a knock on the door.

He couldn't bear the watermelon head, and when he saw Han Chudong open the door and lie back on the bed, he said in a surprised tone: "Are you going to sleep?" Don't, just come for a few days, and then we'll be busy, let's have a fun in Chicago first, I also picked up a second-hand book about traveling here before coming, and there is also a Chinatown here!"

I took the book and looked at it.

Well, it was published in 1962, eleven years ago.

Follow the instructions in this guidebook and you'll have to fall into the pit.

Han Chudong felt that it was windy outside, and it was so cold that he was not happy to go out, but Zhou Nan was the first time he went out, and it was not good to lose his interest because of himself, so he picked up his coat and said weakly: "Let's go, then go out for a walk first, eat something by the way, don't bring the book, this old book can already enter the museum, it is more reliable to ask the driver." ”

Living on the ninth floor, there is a housekeeper in the elevator to help press the floor.

It was interesting to ask him where to go, and the advice he got was that on Michigan Avenue, everything from art galleries to restaurants and shopping malls was available.

It is more suitable for the needs of the two of them, so they simply go there, the whole city of Chicago is by the lake, Lake Michigan is one of the great lakes, this kind of city built on the lake is more livable, and there are more high-rise buildings.

Los Angeles has earthquakes from time to time, and the number of high-rise buildings in the downtown area is still very small, but when it comes to urban views, the skyline of Manhattan Island in New York is the most beautiful.

It was more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

Some restaurants are not open, and there is no need to eat much better when eating with Zhou Nan, the watermelon head.

Unexpectedly saw a KFC, the two first made do with hamburgers and fries, this company was founded in 1952 to the present, the scale is not as large as Han Chudong's impression, it is rare to meet on the road, and it is mainly concentrated in the eastern part of the local states.

Of course, there are also in California, but Han Chudong has only seen it once in the urban area, and the total market value is mostly not high.

Investment opportunities like this are everywhere and can simply dazzle him.

If he has earned the first $100 million now, he is very sure that he can surpass the achievements of Warren Buffett and become the new god of stocks, so the most important thing at present is to accumulate capital, and everything is empty talk without money to invest.

After eating the last fries, wipe your hands clean and go shopping.

Other young people have little girls by their side, but Han Chudong only has watermelon heads, which is a good explanation why he can't lift his spirits, when he went out with Miss Bergman, it was not his current mental state.

After looking at the exhibition hall of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Han Chudong found his own motorcycle, which was pit from the motorcycle party and sold for more than 1,200 US dollars.

Then I went to the mall, Zhou Nan said that he wanted to bring gifts to his parents and them, this kind of thing can be done after the exhibition, but he just happened to encounter the mall, and he didn't need Han Chudong to help carry it, so it didn't matter.

Wandering through a toy store in the mall, I found a Rubik's Cube toy, and sure enough, it was still adsorbed by magnets.

This made Han Chudong vaguely smell some business opportunities, he also started to repair the Rubik's Cube, and he knew the internal principles very well, and it was not complicated to say.

After putting down the toys, I took a look and walked to the home appliance sales area, which was already relatively large.

It is said that doing one line and loving one line, Han Chudong is more concerned about these things, not to mention that Zhou Nan goes shopping, he has nothing to do himself......

A wallet, a women's purse, and leave the mall after buying.

After walking along the lake for a while, I finally decided to visit Chicago's Chinatown.

Take a taxi.

The familiar "world for the public" archway, some buildings also have warped cornices, two stone lions placed on the side of the road, and the scale is much smaller than that of Los Angeles' Chinatown.

"I'm probably crazy, why do I go all the way to Chicago to visit Chinatown if I haven't spent enough time in Chinatown?"

The driver's driving skills were a little drifting, and he kept braking suddenly, and the watermelon head was a little uncomfortable at the moment, and he said in a puzzled tone.

Glancing at him, Han Chudong nodded and agreed: "I also want to know why you want to come here, you should be crazy, go in and go shopping or go back directly?" Forget it, it's all here, let's take a look, try to go out less at night, don't go anywhere except in the downtown area, there is no Han gun covering us here." ”

"Yes, I don't dare to come to this kind of place at night, do you think that you have a long life, especially Brother Dong, you are still wearing a suit, and you are clearly telling others to come and rob you. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go back after reading it. ”

The security in the future is not much better, this era is even more chaotic, Han Chudong just felt bored, and unexpectedly saw an antique shop.

There's one over there in Los Angeles, and he's never been there.

Last time, he picked up a few pieces of jade in the mall, and one of them was now on his neck, which was considered to be a taste of eating marrow, and hooked out Han Chudong's speculative thoughts, a profitable business, and he was most willing to do it.

When I went in with a watermelon head, I was surprised to find that the shopkeeper was a white man, tall, thin to the point of protruding cheekbones, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his high nose, and was wearing an apron to clean up.

The shop is filled with all sorts of things.

There are not only handicrafts that can be seen from Han Chudong, but also animal specimens, globes, necklaces, etc., as well as some porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, which are placed at random, and there are also in the glass counter.

It is mainly based on Chinese antiques, but there are also katanas, knights' armor and the like, which are mixed together, leaving only one road for people to walk.

The shopkeeper heard the bell, looked at the two of them, and asked enthusiastically, "Welcome, what do you want to buy?"

Han Chudong found a problem.

The idea of hoarding antiques is good, but the problem is that you can't figure out the real thing, so you can see that everything looks like the real thing, and everything looks like a fake.

The advantage is that there are not so many fakes, there should be more real things, at least much more than in a few decades, and he told: "I'm going to choose a gift for my grandfather, he has a better eye, don't fool me with what I've only made over the years." I need something that really has history, do you have it here?"

On this side of Chinatown, I often deal with Chinese Americans.

The boss didn't feel that he was humiliated, but felt that there was a big business coming to the door, and immediately raised his spirit: "Yes, of course there is, all of them are clearly priced, as long as you say where there is a problem, I will be very happy to ask me for a refund! Come here with me, it's all on the shelf......"
