Chapter 480: Security in the United States
"Liu Lang, let's go, let's go to the restaurant!"
Everyone surrounded Liu Lang and walked into the restaurant on the side of the street.
As soon as everyone walked in, they were greeted by a young man in a robe.
"Fire Boy, you're here!"
"Qiangzai, is there a good private room?"
Huo Tianting asked in Cantonese.
Upstairs, the eldest son of the Huo family is here, Tianzi No. 2!"
The young man's voice was loud, and when he shouted, the whole building could hear it clearly.
"A few upstairs, please!"
The young man led the group to a private room on the third floor.
"Brother Huo, it seems that you come here often!"
Liu Lang said with a smile.
"Liu Lang, the United States is very repulsive to foreign races, especially in Los Angeles, where discrimination is the most serious place in the United States, and the security here is not very good, and it is likely that you will encounter people who block the road and rob at night, especially those blacks are even more barbaric, and the police can't control them, so I basically live in Chinatown, and everyone is Chinese and has a good relationship with each other!"
Basically, no one dares to offend Huo Tianting on Hong Kong Island, but it can't be done in the United States, and you have to be more careful.
"Brother Huo is right, if you want not to be bullied, you can only hold together, there is the power of Hongmen here in Chinatown, even those blacks are very scruples about Hongmen, and they dare not offend easily!"
Sun Mingren said on the side.
"Hongmen!"
Speaking of Hongmen, Liu Lang remembered that Miss Moran, her status in Hongmen is also very high, but he has not seen Moran since the Olympics, and heard Wang Zhendong say that she returned to the United States.
"It seems that the security in Los Angeles is really not very good!"
Liu Lang remembered that during the Olympic Games, he redeemed a lottery ticket and was almost robbed by several gangsters, that was the Olympic Games, and the police force should be the most time, but even then there will be roadblocks and robberies, not to mention usually.
"Mr. Liu, don't worry, Los Angeles is mainly a bit chaotic in the city, and the Hollywood area where we live is no problem, after all, there are movie and television stars, and if they are robbed of money, it is not a small thing!"
Lin Guodong said on the side.
"I thought the United States was very safe, but it doesn't seem to be as good as at home!"
Liu Lang shook his head slightly and said.
In the eighties, the law and order in the United States was really poor, the main reason was still the racial problem, white people looked down on other ethnic groups, if it was an ordinary person, even if they looked down on it, there would be no illegal behavior, it was a big deal to hide far away, mainly the white police, these law enforcement officers, they are all law enforcers, the code of conduct is to be fair, once it has a racial color, it is dangerous, and there is often violence in the process of law enforcement, especially for people of other races.
Asian people will not take the initiative to make trouble, their character is gentle and humble, and they will take the initiative to provoke trouble when it is too late to hide from things.
But the black ethnicity is different, most of these people are not well educated, live at the bottom of society, are exposed to either drugs or guns, plus have a violent personality, and take the initiative to find trouble when they have nothing to do.
The white police are very disgusted with other races, and the black people like to find trouble, and the two sides have become a hostile relationship, and in the United States, the police have a huge power, even if there is no reason, but he will immediately question you if he sees that you are not pleasing to the eye, and you have to obey completely, and the slightest resistance is serious, even if the police shoot you to death, it doesn't matter.
White police officers have special "care" for black people, thinking that black people are synonymous with trouble, and that they are all a gang of drug dealers, so it is common to see white police officers questioning black people on the street, and this scene sometimes turns into a shootout.
If you can shoot a cop, of course someone else can shoot, especially the grumpy blacks who pull out their guns and shoot as soon as their heads are hot.
The arrogance and hostility of the white people and the impulsiveness and irritability of the black people are the fundamental reasons for the poor law and order in the United States today, and the government also wants to change, but it can't find a way, and sometimes it backfires, so all kinds of contradictions are still emerging under the surface of the American economy, and this is a paradise in the minds of those who have immigrated from all over the world, but when you arrive, you know that if you want to enter the heaven, you have to go through the hellish world, if you can't wear it, then you have to fall into it.
Chinese people like Lin Guodong have lived in the United States since their parents, and they have received a good education since they were children, and they are considered middle-class when they grow up, but it is even more difficult to reach the height of American high society at a closer level, not that you don't have this ability, but that this society hinders you everywhere and does not give you greater opportunities.
"Come, let's leave these alone, Liu Lang, you are in the United States today, a broader stage is waiting for you to perform, I absolutely believe that you can succeed here and become the pride of our Chinese, come, everyone have a toast first!"
At this time, the sumptuous dishes were already on the table, and Huo Tianting raised his wine glass and said loudly.
"That's right, let's toast to Liu Lang!"
Lin Zequan also said.
Everyone drank it all, and Lin Guodong said with a smile: "Brother Huo, Mr. Liu has actually succeeded now, and his Transformers are now very popular in the United States! Although it is not as good as Marvel and DC, it has faintly become the third largest comic image in the United States, and it has hundreds of thousands of fans in the United States.
"Well, Guodong, you're right, we people just rely on Mr. Liu to eat!"
Sun Mingren couldn't stop nodding.
"The image of Transformers is only a little famous now, after all, the form of comic books is still only a niche, compared to the influence of film and television works, our next step is to launch our own cartoons as soon as possible, like Marvel's Iron Man, X-Men and Spider-Man to derive their own style, as long as this can really gain a foothold!"
Liu Lang said.
"Mr. Liu is right, we now sell 12,000 comic books every month, but Marvel's comic book sales are 130,000 copies, more than ten times ours, and DC is even higher, reaching 150,000 copies, compared with them, we are far behind, this is not our image is bad, on the contrary, the quality of our comic books is much better than theirs, Lu Chunzhong's master's painting skills did not say, first-class excellent, it is because we have not yet appeared in film and television works, Spider-Man in the Marvel world, Hulk and X-Men have been made into cartoons, DC also has Superman, Batman, film and television works spread very fast, and they can be known overnight, I believe that as long as we can make cartoons and promote them, it may not be worse than the two of them!"
Lin Guodong knows Marvel and DC very well, what is bad about Shengtang culture is not the image, but just a promotion, as long as it is promoted, whether it is a comic book or a toy model, there will be a huge increase in sales.
