At half past seven in the morning, Xu Qing finished washing up, and came to the restaurant on the 15th floor with Carlyle and Miner.

It is a western restaurant set on a balcony with a view of Central Park not far away.

Xu Qing's breakfast was a ham sandwich, five egg tarts, and a cup of black tea.

Carlyle and Mina, the two big-bellied people, ate three times as much as Xu Qing, and Xu Qing was very speechless when he saw it, and could only admire their appetite.

Carlyle and Miner buried their heads in eating, while Xu Qing ate a few bites of breakfast from time to time, looking more at Central Park not far away.

Central Park is the largest urban park in New York, and in this steel-forested city, Central Park is a green pearl with an area of 843 acres, which is more than 5,000 acres in Chinese.

In this area of Manhattan, where every inch of land is valuable, if Central Park were to be developed into a residential area, it would be worth at least a trillion dollars.

For more than a hundred years of Central Park's existence, the New York City government and real estate agents tried to put their hands on the place many times, and eventually they all gave up because they couldn't afford the wrath of New Yorkers.

The meaning of Central Park's existence, from a climate perspective, can regulate the heat island effect in New York, but more importantly, the symbolic meaning of Central Park to New York.

The local newspaper in New York called it "a people's park, the green lung of the city, a place of recreation for men, women and children, and people of all walks of life."

It is a playground that gives anyone an equal chance, a romantic creation of the extreme, and a refreshing drink. ”

The United States that lost New York is no longer America, and New York that has lost Central Park is no longer New York, this is what New Yorkers say about Central Park.

New York is too impetuous and needs Central Park to calm it down.

Xu Qing and they finished breakfast at 8 o'clock, and the meeting time with Smith was half past nine, Miner went to the room to prepare some materials, and Xu Qing and Carlyle went to Central Park to eat.

After walking out of the hotel gate and walking for a few minutes, you will arrive at the south gate of Central Park.

In the morning, Central Park is very lively, with many people running, reading, walking, and chatting.

There are many performers at the entrance of the park, singing, dancing, and magic shows.

The performers were surrounded by a crowd of applause, perhaps motivated by the enthusiasm of the audience, and the performers were very engaged.

Xu Qing stopped at a place where he was performing and singing, and the performer was a young man with neck-length hair and a scruffy beard, and a beggar dressed as a typical street performer.

The young man sang the classic song "Hotel California", Xu Qing listened to it for a while and felt that this young man sang very well, no worse than some singers.

The beautiful singing attracted many onlookers, Xu Qing and these onlookers quietly enjoyed the young man's performance, and when the song was finished, applause broke out.

A middle-aged man in a suit walked up to the young man from among the onlookers, took out a business card, and said something to the young man.

Xu Qing was a little far away and couldn't hear what they were saying, Xu Qing was first shocked when he saw the expression on the young man's face, and then very happy, and directly hit a few backflips on the spot.

After a while, the young man bowed to the onlookers, picked up the microphone and said:

"Friends, I'm going to Hollywood to sing, thank you for listening to me sing these days, we'll see each other later, you can still hear my singing, on TV, on records, goodbye friends. ”

The young man waved his hand to the surrounding onlookers, and then followed the middle-aged man away, and the onlookers all gave sincere applause, including Xu Qing.

"Carlyle, do you think that Hollywood scout is a liar?"

Xu Qing asked Carlyle, this was the first time he had seen a scout poaching people on the street in his two lives, and he was a little curious.

"Most likely not, you can see from what he wears and his temperament. "Carlyle is serious.

"Can you see that?" Xu Qing was skeptical.

"You little kid don't understand. Carlyle looked at Xu Qing with contempt.

"Get out. ”

Xu Qing was annoyed and angry, and punched Carlyle in the shoulder, in fact, Carlyle said that the scout was most likely not a liar and was not trying to fool him.

Carlyle has a magical ability to know the character qualities of a person just by looking at their clothing and so-called temperament.

Of course, Carlyle can't see it 100%, the accuracy rate has reached more than 75%, which is very powerful, which is one of the reasons why Xu Qing's grandfather asked Carlyle to be Xu Qing's bodyguard.

Xu Qing and Carlyle walked around for a while, and looked at the time at half past eight, and it was almost time for the meeting.

Xu Qing returned to the hotel, and Mina brought Lawyer Riley to his room.

Riley comes from Baker McKenzie, a well-known law firm in the United States, and has worked with the Carney Group several times, which is necessary to sign a contract.

At 9:25, Xu Qing, Mina, and Riley sat in the conference room on the 17th floor waiting for Smith, which Xu Qing had rented for a morning.

At 9:29, the door to the conference room opened, and a hotel waiter ushered two men and a woman into the conference room.

Both men were middle-aged white, and one of them was tall, with meticulously combed hair and piercing eyes.

The other man was dressed in a similar fashion to Riley, and when he saw Riley nodding his head, it was clear that he and Riley knew each other.

The woman is very beautiful, she is a blonde woman, wearing a professional skirt and looks like a secretary.

The hotel waiter whispered beside Xu Qing, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Smith is here." ”

Xu Qing put on a bright smile, walked up to the middle-aged white man with meticulously combed hair and stretched out his hand:

"Hello, Mr. Smith, I'm Xu Qing, the general manager of Carney Media. ”

Xu Qing has seen Smith's photo and will not recognize the wrong person.

Smith also stretched out his hand with a smile: "Mr. Xu shouldn't be 20 years old, when I was your age, I was still a small salesman, and Mr. Xu has managed a company with assets of more than 2 million US dollars on his own, which is very powerful." ”

Smith's tone sounded sincere, and his smile was very warm, as if he didn't mean to look down on Xu Qing.

But Xu Qing knew that this was because there was a check that worked, otherwise with the thousand-fold gap between Carney Media and Barnes & Noble, Smith's well-known greedy character in the book industry would be strange if he could give Xu Qing a good face.

"Mr. Smith is the real career promising, and I don't know how many people envy him to be the business manager of Barnes & Noble. Xu Qing and Smith exchanged hypocritical pleasantries.

"Mr. Smith, I want to put the Carney Books on the shelves of Barnes & Noble. ”

Xu Qing directly stated his purpose, for a person like Smith, interests are everything, Xu Qing needs to put interests in front of him as soon as possible and seduce him.
