Chapter 111: Honolulu, Money Power
On the U.S. side, after everything was dealt with, the time was at the end of August.
Lin Yi discussed with Xiang Yanghua and carried out the 'wedding trip' half a year ago directly to the end. So for this first stop, of course, you have to choose Hawaii.
In the novel "Rogue Goofy", there is a treasure theft scene, which is written about Honolulu. However, Lin Yi really hasn't been there. Being able to depict it vividly is all due to Lin Zhilan!
In the departure hall of San Francisco International Airport, a beautiful girl waves goodbye to them. That youthful face is full of freedom and happiness!
"This girl is really wild!" leaning on Lin Yi's shoulder, Xiang Yanghua whispered.
lowered his head, secretly kissed his girlfriend's earlobe, and looked at the other party's body trembling slightly, Lin Yi couldn't help but be happy in his heart!
In order to divert the anger, he hurriedly turned to Zhen Yingjun's Nunu mouth and whispered: "The United States has been like this for a long time!
However, there were some words in his heart, but Lin Yi did not say them - Sunflower is tough and strong, but her personality is not unconventional. And Lin Zhilan is a modernist, and she can enjoy herself as long as she can be free! It seems that this woman is by no means the same as a woman!
Zhen Yingjun is a young man, but he is really infatuated - when the plane docked in Hawaii, no matter the picturesque scenery outside, it couldn't arouse his slightest interest, so he stupidly waited for takeoff, so that he could go directly to Hong Kong.
Lin Yi and the others bowed to him, Zhen Yingjun just nodded silently, it seemed that his inner world could no longer tolerate others except Lin Zhilan!
Seeing this situation, Lin Yi didn't have any admiration, but was happy: What's the matter, I have finally completed my evolution, and I can substitute salt for dog food!
The hotel's courtesy car has arrived at the airport early. picked up Lin Yi and Xiang Yanghua and drove directly to the booked hotel. The welcome of 'Aloha' was waiting for them there.
Honolulu, also known as Honolulu, is located on the island of Oahu and is the capital of Hawaii. Waikiki, the center of Honolulu, is where Lin Yi's hotel is located, about 30 minutes from the airport.
There is not only a beach, you can walk and swim downstairs, but also a commercial center, which is convenient for eating and shopping. If you look down from the room, you can see the surfers, soaring in the waves!
In the past six months of life in the United States, Lin Yi and Xiang Yanghua have often exercised, run and swim, and their physical fitness has been greatly improved. So after seven hours of flying, the body did not feel tired.
It's about 4 p.m., and there's still time to go out for a stroll.
Downtown, Iolani Palace, is an icon of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The bronze statue of King Kamehameha stands opposite the palace.
Although he has never been here, Lin Yi is really familiar with the king in front of him. As a fan of the game, "Civilization" is certainly not to be missed! Famous monarchs from all over the world can be found inside. And the encyclopedia information in the game also let players know about their great achievements.
After waking up the next day, the two opened the travel brochure and began to determine the day's itinerary. I didn't plan to visit the other islands for 10 days.
The world's first wireless network experiment was conducted at the University of Hawaii. However, work and entertainment must be clearly distinguished! Lin Yi came here just to relax, and he would definitely not go to university.
Oahu may not be big, but there are a lot of attractions! First of all, Pearl Harbor is a must-see. The USS Arizona and the USS Missouri can both be visited on board.
After looking at these two warships, one will definitely believe: fate, or luck, does exist!
Otherwise, these two warships have all undergone intensive bombardment, why is the former only wreckage, while the latter can be intact?
After leaving Pearl Harbor and making a detour along the East Coast, the two reached Diamond Head first. It is an extinct volcano, and when you climb to the top, you can see the whole of Honolulu.
Further east is Hanauma Bay, a snorkeling destination. Because it was very safe, Sunflower did not object to Lin Yi's diving this time. As for the girl herself, the equipment is not used at all, she has the unique skill of underwater gas extraction.
Lin Yi was not flexible enough, and after putting on the diving suit, his body became even more clumsy. It is often his girlfriend who discovers the beautiful scenery and then takes his hand and goes over to enjoy it together.
This is a fish sanctuary, so the colorful fish are not small at all. They often surround the two of them in the middle, sometimes touching each other gently, as if they are treating humans as ornamental animals!
Further east is the Fountain, a reef formed by volcanic lava flowing into the sea. There are many crevices in it, and when the waves come up, they form a spectacular jet of fountain water.
The two's trip around the island had to come to an end here! The tickets had been booked, and they would soon fly away.
Last night, after several rounds of tossing and turning, Phelan called. He said that the RB factory had been finalized, and urged Lin Yi to hurry over so that he could handle the work handover.
And after Lin Yi left the United States, Paradise Games also needed Phelan to return to the town. So this beautiful Hawaii, just a quick glimpse, had to leave.
It's a bit of a pity, but can I come back in the future? Lin Yi patted the checkbook and said, 'Brother is not bad for money now'!
He heard that there are even private islands in this Hawaiian archipelago that are forbidden to tourists!
Lin Yi couldn't help but have extravagant hopes: I don't know how long it will take for me to reach this level!
The harbor with the sea and sky, the soft and charming beach, the fairy-like sea creatures, and the vibrant tropical jungle - maybe one day, Lin Yi and his wife can enjoy it alone!
boarded the plane to RB, Lin Yi left the United States. Maybe it will be a few months before he sets foot here again.
"America is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor. Many people have said that. Lin Yi stayed for half a year this time, and he really felt it!
People who are qualified to play finance, the recovery of the US stock market in the past year has helped them make up for the losses in the oil crisis.
At the same time, the unemployed army was still on the streets outside, setting up stalls to sell old boots!
Even those who have saved their jobs will continue to work hard in the face of poor inflation and stagnant wages. The grim employment situation has made the previously powerful trade unions continue to compromise and retreat from the management.
Lin Yi feels that all of this is related to the business culture of the United States - 'business is business', and he thinks it is not accurate enough, it should be 'everything is business'.
Samuelson's textbook on economics often refers to the dollar as the 'money ballot'. Although he is only making an analogy, Lin Yi feels that this can better reflect the essence of American culture.
'Money is power', even if you are a retired president, spend $180,000, have a meal together, and then chat and fart, it's no problem at all!
However, if it is so simple, he will become a money worshipper, and Lin Yi will not need to think about it.
'When there's a lot of money, it's just a bunch of numbers'
'Be a master of money, not a slave to him'
These two famous sayings are also very popular. often reciting these two sentences, Lin Yi also figured out a little taste:
Luxury cars, luxury houses, luxury yachts, private jets, private islands, at the price of the 70s, 100 million US dollars is enough! Lin Yi is developing so fast, it is really not difficult to do this.
So, for those billionaires – billionaires with assets of more than $1 billion, money is just a bunch of fame, if not a number.
'The master of money', no one needs to tell Lin Yi, everyone knows that in the United States, this refers to Wall Street.
Those financial predators manipulate everything in the United States. also tried to use the baton of money to turn all people in the world into their marionettes.
If he becomes a money worshipper, then Lin Yi's fate will inevitably be controlled by others.
As a traverser, of course, you have to be a little arrogant - you vow to be the owner of the money, let it come and meet you!
