On January 1 of this year, a TV series called "Beijingers in New York" was broadcast.

It begins with the following words: If you love someone, send them to New York, because it's heaven, and if you hate someone, send them to New York, because it's hell.

New York is a magical place.

Countless people have become rich overnight from here, and some people have lost and lost and jumped off the rooftop.

As the world's top financial center, New York has too much glory and too much ugliness.

For example, Wang Qiang, who was sitting in a Rolls-Royce, passed by a place, and the driver introduced: "That's Chinatown over there." ”

"Chinatown?" Wang Qiang looked over curiously.

Ahead is the street park, looking through the black iron fence, a group of ragged people inside are gambling hotly, most of them are yellow-skinned, there are also a few browns, blacks and whites, but the clothes they wear are very ordinary.

"Are they playing mahjong?" Wang Baoguo felt a little incredible, "There are still people in New York who play mahjong? and foreigners?" and he was not surprised to blame him, in his opinion, mahjong is the patent of the Chinese.

The driver scoffed and said: "Who will come here to gamble if you have money? A little professional can't afford to lose that person, by the way, you are not mistaken, there are a lot of old black and old ink who come to gamble money, and occasionally white garbage." He looked down on the people inside, but he still had a lot of knowledge, "You may not know very well, the English Casino of the casino is from Cantonese dialect, Chinese will shout when gambling starts, Americans have since named gambling." ”

Wang Qiang nodded thoughtfully, it seems that Chinatown is not the same as he imagined.

Sure enough, the driver gushed out: "I don't know about other places, at least Manhattan's Chinatown is a poor man's town, Americans won't live here, rich Chinese people won't live here, and knowledgeable middle-class people won't live here, and the people who live here are either smugglers, or coolie restaurant workers, as well as bus drivers, reselling fakes, and selling skin and meat, anyway, it is synonymous with dirt and mess." ”

Liu converted to New York for the first time, and asked curiously: "Doesn't it mean that the American welfare system is very good?"

"That's good. The driver pointed ahead again and tightened the steering wheel again, "See that over there?"

Wang Qiang looked in the direction he pointed, the other end of the park was more harmonious, there were many old people and children, playing ball, playing chess, dancing, practicing swords, and there were people sitting on chairs talking and chatting, looking very leisurely.

"See. Liu Yi nodded.

The driver sighed, "Many of the old people here are raised by the government, and they are in charge of food and housing every month, and they also distribute food coupons and pocket money, and they are completely living a communist life. ”

The first time he came to New York, Wang Qiang was very quiet, listening to the driver's chatter and introduce the situation.

The streetscape of Chinatown is obviously not a lofty place.

Especially after arriving in Manhattan, thinking back to the scene of Chinatown, Wang Qiang saw high-rise buildings rising into the sky, which was really incomparable. According to the driver, Chinatown is basically a slum, and like the black neighborhood and Mexico Village, it is a place for people who don't have money to live, and the rich live in Lower and Midtown Manhattan, just like the stickers.

Manhattan, however, is the opposite.

"The heart and shine of New York is Manhattan. The driver turned a corner and drove past the riverbank road full of cruise ships and motorboats, "The other boroughs are more like slums that provide cheap labor for Manhattan, and the rich live in Manhattan anyway, and the other boroughs are certainly not the rich, this is the private yacht dock of the rich in Lower Manhattan." ”

Wang Qiang understands this a little, no matter how expensive the sports car in New York is, it is not cool, because it can't run at all, the real rich still have to drive their own yachts and private jets, and the yacht itself may not be expensive, but the dock parking fee is scary, the annual fee ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the license fee is also terrible, which I learned later from the Internet.

Lower Manhattan is extremely crowded, and cars are always blocked, but this also gives Wang Qiang a chance to understand.

Including seeing the Hudson River, Riverside Park, as well as the World Trade Center and Wall Street.

Broadway is also said to be close.

It's a pity that it wasn't that route.

The car slowly drove into the Upper East Side, the traffic jam was terrible before, and after arriving here, it was unimpeded, Wang Qiang knew that it was inhabited by the richest residents of New York City, and that prices and real estate were among the most expensive areas in the world, and some people said that this was a place where human wisdom was turned into wealth.

From Fifth Avenue to the east and Lexington Avenue to the west is the most expensive and popular residential area in New York, known as the "Gold Coast" of New York.

The car also stopped in front of a luxury villa.

After confirmation by the security guard, the gate was opened and released.

Then, the driver drove the car in.

As soon as he entered, Wang Qiang was shocked, to tell the truth, he had never seen such a luxurious residence in his previous life and in this life.

Not to mention all kinds of greenery, there is also a small golf course, close to the house, and a very, very large swimming pool, Wang Qiang looked through the car window towards the second floor, and it seems that he can jump directly down, which is a bit similar to the swimming pool of the residence of the protagonist of Stephen Chow's "Variety King Kong", but it is larger.

Wang Baoguo was a little trembling, and whispered: "Qiangzi, this is ...... This is Boss Wang's residence, too luxurious, isn't it?"

Not to mention that his father was trembling, even Wang Qiang felt that he had experienced the era of the information explosion and trembled in his heart, this is a house where people live? Not a palace?

It's no wonder that they are short-sighted, but poverty limits their imagination.

Even more limiting imagination is yet to come.

After getting off the bus, a group of four people went in and learned that Boss Wang had not come back, and when they chatted with a white housekeeper in his fifties, they learned that this villa alone has a residential area of up to 2,000 square meters, designed and built by the famous architect John Duncan, with 12 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, and the price is as high as 65 million US dollars!

When they had heard this, the crowd fell silent.

Including Mrs. Gao and Liu Conversion, they are also rich people in China, especially Mrs. Gao's father's company, which is valued at more than one billion US dollars, but Boss Wang's villa is worth more than 500 million RMB, which is equivalent to one-third of Mrs. Gao's father's business?

When he first came back from rebirth, Wang Qiang felt that he could be rich enough to let his family live a happy life, and indeed, in just half a year, he relied on his own hands and knowledge far beyond the current era to achieve this goal.

However, after experiencing the impact of the affluent neighborhood of Manhattan, New York, an ambition was inexplicably born in his heart - I long to be rich! I long to live in such a mansion!

Mrs. Gao sighed: "After looking at the president's residence, I feel that my domestic villa is so rubbish that I don't want to go back." ”

Liu Yiyi was only taken aback for a moment, and then regained her composure, it seemed that her personality had always been so calm and quiet, "If you are the president of the World Hongmen Association and the head of the mountain, you can also live in such a luxurious residence. ”

Wang Qiang has not spoken, but he deeply agrees in his heart, identity and status determine the quality of a person's life.

If you have not seen luxury, you will not have the idea of wanting to make your status unusual, because you can't imagine it, and as I said before, poverty limits imagination.

But today he saw it.

But today he got it.

Wang Qiang's mood is very complicated, so complicated that he can't wait to become the world's top figure like Boss Wang, perhaps, he himself has not noticed that a seed called ambition has taken root in his heart, waiting for him to irrigate with his vision far beyond this era, and grow into a towering tree of dreams!

"It is infinite ambition that creates brilliant ......" he whispered one of Jack Ma's famous words, and at this moment, he finally realized the meaning of this sentence.

For more than 40 years, the calm heart has set off thousands of waves in a flash.

Wang Qiang secretly set a small goal for himself - to earn it 100 million first!

Yes, after looking at Boss Wang's mansion, he felt that earning 100 million was a small goal!
