After the two men leave Padgio's villa, they find a serious problem: neither of them has any cash on them.

I am used to living in Huaxia, and there is basically no problem with holding a mobile phone. But in New York, the two couldn't even hail a taxi. I tried to find an ATM, but I couldn't find it.

Uh, it's true that you can't find an ATM on the Upper East Side? Not really, these two fools have to walk along the beach, who put the ATM on the beach?

In fact, in the Stars and Stripes, most of them can be swiped, so you don't need to bring too much cash, that's not safe, isn't it? For example, taxis。。。。。。

In the end, the two reversed course and found a Citibank. Citibank's ATMs offer $1,000 per transaction. Xiao Peng has an account with Citibank, which is dedicated to putting those competition bonuses.

Xiao Peng thought about it, and it was troublesome to withdraw money again and again, so he simply withdrew 20,000 US dollars in one go. This is no longer necessary to mention cash. There was an envelope next to him where cash was stored, and Xiao Peng took the largest envelope and put the money in it and handed it to Yang Meng.

"Where are you going next?" asked Yang Meng as he slipped the money into his pocket.

Xiao Peng looked left and right: "We're on Fifth Avenue now, right?" The road name in Manhattan is very simple, the north-south direction is called 'Road', the east-west direction is called 'Street', and Fifth Avenue is the most important north-south artery in the entire Manhattan. It's full of attractions along the way, with Central Park, St. Patrick's Church, Rockefeller Center, the New York Public Library, the Empire State Building, and many more from north to south.

The place where Xiao Peng and the others are located is on the northern section of Fifth Avenue, which is also known as the Art Museum because of the existence of famous art museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of Art.

The reason why the Upper West Side is not as high as the Upper East Side is probably also related to Fifth Avenue, because Fifth Avenue runs through the Upper East Side.

Xiao Peng thought for a while, tilted his head, and saw a 'Mark New York Hotel' next to him: "Let's go, let's go and solve the place to live first." ”

Don't think about the star rating, it's not that a five-star hotel can't be opened here, to be precise, it's not enough to be five-star, it must be a five-star service.

"Hello Miss, do you still have a room? Xiao Peng asked the front desk lady.

The front desk lady was a black girl, and after looking through the computer records: "Sir, there is only one Mark Premier two-bedroom suite, I wonder if the two of you are satisfied?"

Xiao Peng didn't know what the concept of this so-called 'Mark Premier Two-Bedroom Suite' was, but when he heard that it was a two-bedroom, he nodded: "Okay, just let it be." "You can't always live in a bedroom with Yang Meng, can you?

"I don't know how long you want to stay here?" The front desk lady listened to Xiao Peng's words, looked up at the clothes of the two, and continued to ask.

Xiao Peng thought for a while: "I'm not sure, it depends on the situation." It may be three days or five days, it may be ten days and half a month, depending on what is interesting here. After speaking, Xiao Peng handed the bank card to the front desk lady.

The front desk lady took the bank card and said, "Okay sir, the price of this Mark Premier Two-Bedroom Suite is 3,500 US dollars per day, plus 14.75% tax from Ghana and 7.75% city tax per day. Do you need breakfast for two? Breakfast is $60 per person. ”

Xiao Peng almost fell to the ground after hearing this, I wiped it, what room is so expensive? 3,500 a day? And 14.75% tax? That's more than 4,000 US dollars a day? Plus breakfast. Almost 4,200 yuan a day? 27,000 yuan a night?

Black!

But at this time, it is time to catch the ducks on the shelves. More than 4,000 US dollars is more than 4,000 US dollars, anyway, this money is also earned from the Stars and Stripes, isn't it? He doesn't feel sorry for this money, but thinks that this money is not worth spending in the Stars and Stripes.

Well, if you think about it from another angle, you have taken the meat from the Stars and Stripes, so you should let them drink some soup with them.

However, after entering the room, Xiao Peng also understood why this room was so expensive! This room was more than 150 square meters in total! This is an independent house, in the words of the Chinese people, this is a super large two-bedroom suite. It had everything you need, a double bed in the two bedrooms, a huge double bed, a kitchen and everything. Everything you need to live at home is almost everything------ except for kitchen spices. Is this a way to live here?

ALL THE FURNISHINGS ARE TOP-NOTCH, TAKE THE CARPETS, ALL THE DUTCH ARTE ESINA HAND-WOVEN CARPETS! THE CARPETS IN THIS ROOM ALONE COST HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, RIGHT? ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE PRESIDENTIAL SUITE, BUT IT IS ALMOST THE SAME. Xiao Peng decided, the first thing he did after returning home was to redecorate the room at home, and after looking at their room layout, he felt that his room was like a rough room!

Yang Meng howled and threw himself on the bed. Although the two had no luggage, the waiter still followed the two into the room, looked at Yang Meng's appearance, and showed a smile: "Sir, are you satisfied with this room?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Satisfied, very satisfied." ”

The waiter was also a black man, and he smiled with a mouthful of snow-white teeth: "Mr. Xiao, my name is Will, you can call me at any time if you have anything." ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "Okay Will." ”

Johnny didn't go out, though, but stood at the door of the room as if waiting for something. Xiao Peng slapped his forehead, took the back of the sofa next to him and smashed it directly at Yang Meng: "Don't play there! Take change!"

Xiao Peng has been in the Stars and Stripes Country for so long, and he is not used to tips in the Stars and Stripes. It turned out that Pan Peiyu, who knew about the Stars and Stripes, was responsible for these things, and now that Pan Peiyu had returned to China, he would hand it over to Xiao Peng and them to deal with by themselves.

In the Stars and Stripes, they consider tipping to be the most basic courtesy, and to tip as long as someone else has to do the work.

IT CAN BE SAID THAT FROM THE TIME YOU ARRIVE IN THE STARS AND STRIPES, YOU CAN'T DO WITHOUT ALL KINDS OF TIPS: WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT THE AIRPORT, YOU HAVE TO TIP THE AIRPORT PORTER, USUALLY ONE OR TWO DOLLARS; TAXIS ALSO HAVE TIPS, USUALLY ABOUT 15% OF THE FARE, BUT IF YOU USE UBER TO SHARE THE CAR, YOU DON'T NEED TO TIP, BECAUSE YOUR FARE ALREADY INCLUDES 20% OF THE TIP; GO TO THE HOTEL TO PICK UP AND DROP OFF TO HELP YOU CARRY YOUR LUGGAGE? ANOTHER ONE OR TWO DOLLARS IN TIP; PARKING GUY TO HELP YOU PARK? When someone brings you a car or picks it up, it's three to five dollars, if you stay in a hotel, if the waiter opens the door and picks up your luggage, well, prepare a few more dollars, someone cleans your room, puts a few dollars under the pillow, and when you eat, generally speaking, in restaurants in the Stars and Spangled Country, you only need to tip where there is a waiter, and the more senior the place, the higher the waiter's expectation of tipping. In ordinary restaurants, it is generally calculated according to the percentage of the total payment, lunch is generally 15%, dinner is generally 20%, and if the number of people exceeds 5, it needs to be calculated according to the group, and more than 18% of the tip is required.

Let's put it this way! The whole country of stars and stripes, as long as you have someone to serve you, then you have to tip, let people shine your shoes, tip! go to the casino to play and win? tip! help you move? tip! luggage storage, tip, beauty salon haircut, tip! nail art, tip!

Well, there are exceptions that don't require tipping: if you go to a fast food restaurant, a place like 'Kaifeng Dish', 'Golden Arches', 'Pizza Hut', 'Starbucks', that's not a tip.

Of course, if the service is extremely poor, you can also skip the tip. Like the two goods in the American drama "Bankruptcy Sisters", it can only be said that it is a miracle to receive tips.

The most important point is that when you get the services of any government officer, don't be stupid enough to tip. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a bribe for public officials, and it will be troublesome to cause legal disputes. So be especially careful.

Don't underestimate tipping, it's a very important thing in the Stars and Stripes, and if you tip it, the waiter will do everything he can to serve you. This creates a virtuous circle, and if you don't follow the rules, you will only make them scoff at you and be too lazy to deal with you next time.

The amount of this tip also needs to be divided according to the regional economic situation.

For example, if you are in the Chinese area of Southern California, you will give a 10% tip for lunch, although it is a bit picky, but it usually does not attract criticism, but if you are in New York, if you only give a 10% tip for lunch, it is not just rude, it is an insult, and being beaten is also considered to be self-inflicted.

Yang Meng got up from the bed: "How can I have change?"

In order to save trouble, Xiao Peng mentioned 20,000 US dollars in 100 yuan bills. Yang Meng threw the envelope to Xiao Peng, Xiao Peng took out one from it and handed it to Will, looking at the hundred-yuan bill. Will burst out laughing, "Wow, thank you, generous Mr. Xiao. ”

"Will, is there anything good to eat here?" Xiao Peng asked.

"Mr. Shaw, our hotel's 'Jane George's Restaurant' serves seasonal dishes from all over the world, no matter where you're from, and of course, if you're in the mood for a drink or two, our hotel bar serves signature cocktails and classic drinks, and if you like jazz, the jazz band in the bar will satisfy you. The 'Frederick Hair Salon' on the ground floor of the hotel will provide you with hair and beauty services. ”

Xiao Peng thought for a while: "Let's get us something to eat first, where is the menu?" We need room service to send us to the room." ”

Will nodded: "Sir, of course you can!"

Yang Meng ran over and grabbed Will's shoulder: "Hey, Will, can you tell me what's fun here? We're not the kind of people who go to bed early! We're not people who follow the guidebook, we want to know some good places for the locals to play." It would be nice if there was a local as a tour guide. ”

After hearing this, Will coughed dryly: "Sir, this 。。。。。。 Not working with us。。。。。。 ”

Yang Meng took out another $100 and stuffed it into Will's uniform pocket. Will narrowed his eyes: "Sir, believe me, in the whole of Manhattan, there is no good place that Iron Hanwell can't find, and I am your best tour guide." You eat first, and in a while the best tour guide in New York, Hewill, will take you to find happiness!"

"What about your job?" Yang Meng asked.

Will smiled: "In half an hour, Tie Hanwei will be sick and take leave to go home on time." ”

"Is this okay?" Yang Meng was stunned, he had planned to let Will introduce the place, but he didn't expect Will to be so enthusiastic?

"Of course, trust Iron Hanwell, I'm very experienced. ”
