Jin Miya looked at Xie Wendong with deep eyes, the man's back was so close at the moment, but the more she looked at it, the more "blurred" she became. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ć
Suddenly, the woman laughed.
She didn't say much, and hurriedly kept up with Xie Wendong's pace, for fear of losing the latter. The two kept walking, talking from time to time, Chase Bank, Trump Building, Manhattan Trust Bank, American Museum of Finance, Deutsche Bank Building, etc., as long as it is a consortium with a certain influence and can be ranked, Jin Miya will tirelessly introduce them one by one, and Xie Wendong does have little knowledge of finance, so he also listens very carefully.
Just as the two were about to walk out of Wall Street, Xie Wendong seemed to be attracted by something, and silently stepped forward and looked carefully. In front of him was a bronze bull statue five meters long and weighing 6.3 tons. The front hooves of the bronze bull are open, the bull's eyes are sharp, and the body is slightly curved, as if it is running!
Seeing this, Jin Miya silently stepped forward, looked at the bronze bull statue in front of her, and said, "Do you want to hear the story of this bronze bull statue?"
Xie Wendong nodded slightly, in such an important place as Wall Street, such a bronze bull statue must have its meaning!
"It's a legend!" Kim Miya smiled and began to tell her story of its origins.
It turned out that a long time ago, there was an artist named Arturo di Modica in Sicily, Italy! He wanted to be famous and famous abroad, but how could he make a splash? After thinking about it, he couldn't do anything! Finally, one day, he wandered to Wall Street, a simple and dilapidated street, but he was inspired. At that time, Wall Street was already the center of the world's financial and stock markets, and if he had his own works here, it would definitely attract attention.
Therefore, Arturo Di Modica suddenly had a whim, he knew that the stock market is divided into a "bull market" and a "bear market", a bull market represents a stock price increase, and a bear market represents a stock market downturn! In order to send a blessing to the stockholders, wishing the stock market a bull in the coming year, he created a copper bull. After two years of operation, Arturo Di Modica smuggled his bronze bull in a large truck to the huge Christmas tree in front of the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street at midnight on December 15, 1989, hoping that a miracle would happen the next morning.
Early the next morning, he ran to the edge of the stock exchange, and sure enough, his copper bull was surrounded by reporters and police, and there was no cow to be seen from the outside. The New York City government was furious and demanded that Modica quickly pull the copper bull away. Just then, the director of the park at the southern end of Broadway approached Modica and asked him to put the copper bull in their park. Modica intends to sell the statue to the highest bidder, but the buyer must leave the statue in place and donate it to the City of New York. ā
Saying this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and stroked the horns, and said leisurely: "Now this bronze bull has become the public property of New York City, and no one is allowed to buy or sell it, and Modica has the right to its portrait." ā
Xie Wendong nodded while listening, he recalled something carefully, and couldn't help asking: "I have seen such a bronze bull statue in some places in China, is it imitating Wall Street?"
Jin Miya nodded with a smile, "Not only in our country, but also in many parts of the world, financial centers and stock trading markets are following suit, expecting the copper bull to bring them good luck!"
Sure enough, Arturo Di Modica was not only a brilliant artist, but also a visionary and wise man, and such a figure is truly legendary. Xie Wendong took a deep look at the bronze bull statue again, and then continued to walk forward with the woman.
After a while, the two came to the outside of the Citi First Bank building.
Looking at this magnificent mansion, Xie Wendong looked at the woman, raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "Don't you plan to go in and have a look?"
The woman shook her head, "Here, it doesn't belong to me anymore, so why bother looking at it again?!"
Xie Wendong smiled a little meaningfully, glanced up at the spectacular Citibank Building, then looked at the woman again, and said, "Soon, I will definitely let this place have a building that belongs to us." ā
Jin Mi Ya Wan'er, staring at the man for a moment, then she said, "Hopefully, that day won't make me wait too long!"
"Then you have to work hard!" Xie Wendong said with a meaningful smile, then he looked at his watch, restrained his smile and said, "It's not too early, we should go back!"
"Didn't they call you?" Jin Miya couldn't help but be a little curious, she and Xie Wendong had been out for so long, it stands to reason that they should have found out about it a long time ago!
Xie Wendong shrugged his shoulders, took out his mobile phone, and said, "It's not that there isn't one! After speaking, he saw more than a dozen missed calls on his mobile phone, smiled bitterly, and handed it to the woman.
Jin Miya just glanced at it slightly, and said with some incomprehension: "Brother Dong should tell them, so as not to worry them!"
Xie Wendong shook his head slightly and said, "If I tell them, with their temperament, they will definitely come to Wall Street to find us." ā
Hearing this, Jin Miya thought about it carefully, and secretly said that it was right! Although there was a certain risk in doing so, it turned out that Xie Wendong's decision was right! After all, until now, they had not encountered anything, which showed that their whereabouts had not been exposed.
After shopping on Wall Street, Xie Wendong and Jin Miya did not delay much, and immediately took a taxi back to the hotel. Along the way, there were still no accidents.
Hearing that Dong Ge was back, the crowd that had been waiting anxiously in the hotel lobby swarmed up, looking at him reproachfully while asking where he and Jin Miya went?
Xie Wendong comforted everyone and explained at the same time! Jin Miya showed an "innocent look", saying that the matter had "nothing to do with her". Anyway, Xie Wendong and Jin Miya were able to come back safely, and everyone didn't have much to say, just asked Xie Wendong not to take such a risk next time.
Xie Wendong naturally agreed, in order to appease the brothers! At noon, Aiolia came to the hotel and had lunch with Xie Wendong and the others.
In the afternoon, Aioria asked Xie Wendong if he wanted to take a stroll around New York, after all, the manor conference would officially start in the evening.
However, Xie Wendong had already visited in the morning, and he didn't have much interest in other places! In the end, Aiolia had no choice but to take Xie Wendong and his party for a casual stroll, and then took everyone to the final venue of this year's manor conference.
On the way, Aioria found that Xie Wendong's subordinates seemed to be two people, and couldn't help but ask where they were. She was naturally referring to Liu Bo and Jiang Sen, of course Xie Wendong would not say it explicitly, but only said that the two had "private matters" to deal with, and would not participate in the manor conference with him.
Of course, Aioria knew that this was just Xie Wendong prevaricating her! She could guess what was going on, so she didn't ask questions, so as not to cause Xie Wendong's displeasure.
Seeing that the driver's way of driving seemed to be in the direction of the port, Jin Miya, who was in the same car with Xie Wendong and Ioria, couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "This direction, it seems to be towards New York Harbor, I remember that there is no big place there. Although she didn't say it too clearly, the meaning of it still made people understand it as soon as they heard it!
Hearing this, Xie Wendong couldn't help but look at Aioria secretly, of course he believed Jin Miya's judgment. So, I would like to hear the latter explanation as well.
Aioria smiled slightly and said, "That's because this year's manor convention is not held on land, but on the sea!"
Xie Wendong and Jin Miya looked at each other, and neither seemed to expect it.
"Have you heard of Royal Caribbean?" said Eolia with a smile as she turned her head to look at the two of them, "We in the Lauder family contacted this company and leased their company's Mariner of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world, to be the venue for this year's Manor Convention! After speaking, the woman said with a little excitement: "How is it? Doesn't it sound good?!"
Xie Wendong has been on a plane or a train, but it is the first time to take a cruise! And Jin Miya on the side is the same! The former nodded and said with a smile: "It's good! I like it very much. ā
In the midst of the conversation, four Bentleys arrived at a port north of New York Harbor. Before Xie Wendong and the others got out of the car, they had already found the huge white cruise ship named "Ocean Mariner" parked by the harbor.
