【Chapter 1219】 New York Travels (Subscription Requested!)
After dinner, everyone didn't stay out for too long, after all, there was still a three-hour time difference between New York and Los Angeles, and the jet lag became the main task of the evening. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the New Year approaches, the streets of Manhattan are lit up with neon lights and decorations that decorate the city.
However, everyone knows that this is only a superficial phenomenon, and behind the prosperity of New York is all kinds of chaotic neighborhoods, as the saying goes, 'there are shadows behind the tall buildings, and there are blood and tears under the neon lights!'
In the evening, the executives and staff of Brilliant Tours were also warned not to wander around the neighborhood to avoid any trouble.
In fact, this is also the habit of Chinese outbound tourists to go out for vacation, and try to avoid appearing in some dangerous areas at night.
Compared with the overall situation of domestic singing and dancing, the law and order situation in the United States is not very optimistic, and the communities inhabited by the rich are naturally better, but in the slums and black communities, robbery and other crimes are endless.
Many people in China have always thought that the moon is full in foreign countries and that life in foreign countries is more free and better, but the United States, especially an international metropolis like New York, is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor!
…………
After returning to the hotel, several children began to doze off, and before Xiao Feng's storybook was finished, they had already fallen asleep sweetly.
This time when I came to New York, in addition to watching the New Year's game between the Lakers and the Knicks, the family's habit of watching the New Year's Eve ceremony in Times Square will not change, and more importantly, Xiao Feng wants to take the children to the NASDAQ and let them ring the bell of the public listing of 'Brilliant Tourism'.
Perhaps, they will become the smallest bell ringers in history, which is interesting to think about!
Born in the 'Xiao family', the children are destined to be different from others, although Xiao Feng will not interfere with the children's life choices in the future, but some occasions are always inevitable for them.
In some chicken soup texts, people can only see the various supernatural aspects of the protagonists, but they can rarely find that the reason why these protagonists become the protagonists is that in addition to his own talents, family background is also very important.
Xiao Feng stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with his wife in his arms, looking at the lights and the Milky Way-like traffic outside the window, and the extravagant atmosphere of New York, a super metropolis, came to his face.
However, today's Xiao Feng is no longer the hairy boy who would be excited when he looked at the night photos of New York, and now he is standing at the top of the world, and there are only a thousand people on the whole earth who can have more wealth and power than him.
Xiao Feng firmly believes that with the continuous expansion of the 'Jinghu Group', there will be more and more forces tied around the 'Xiao Family', and the status of himself and the Xiao family in this world will become higher and higher.
Sometimes when I think about it, 'Zizhu Space' has completely changed the fate of myself and my family, and this is what the world says.
If there is no 'Zizhu Space', Xiao Feng is at most a white-collar worker working hard in Haizhou, and he can probably gain a firm foothold in Haizhou and start a family in 10 years.
Without Zizhu space, Xiao Feng will naturally not become the 'richest man in China', at most, with the help of his parents to buy a house and a car in Haizhou, find an ordinary and virtuous wife, and live a happy life as an ordinary person as a family.
Without the 'Zizhu Space', naturally I would not have met Xu Mengyao, and I would not have the happiness I have now.
For today's life, Xiao Feng is already too satisfied to be satisfied, he is very content and grateful, and hopes to continue to be happy!
In this regard, Xiao Feng and his family are full of confidence!
…………
In the morning, the Lakers players had breakfast and then went to the training gym at nearby Madison Square Square for acclimatization in preparation for tonight's New Year's game.
Xiao Feng naturally won't join in the fun, since he retired, he has rarely interfered in the daily operation of the team, and he won't participate in things like training.
The Lakers players didn't have much reaction to this, and everyone had already finished breakfast silently and boarded the bus to the training hall under the guidance of the trainer.
Bai Jinsheng, Pan Shi and others naturally have their own activities in New York, and this time they all brought their female companions to New York, so they naturally wanted to go out for a shopping spree. Xiao Feng doesn't care about the itinerary of these sons, they have all had the experience of living abroad, Bai Jinsheng and Pan Shi even have green cards in the United States, so there will be no problems.
However, Xiao Feng still assigned a bodyguard and driver to each of their groups, so as to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
Considering the large number of people who came to New York this time, Xiao Feng transferred two-thirds of the security forces of the 'Neverland' to accompany him, in addition to providing security for Xiao Feng's family, he could also provide various services to the relevant personnel of 'Brilliant Tourism'.
As the boss, Xiao Feng naturally will not be too stingy, and the treatment he can enjoy, the employees can too.
As for the executives of 'Brilliant Travel', they have also joined the shopping trip, after all, there will be many discounts on major brand stores in New York during the New Year season, especially luxury goods, which will have even greater discounts.
For these executives, who earn millions or even tens of millions of RMB a year, it is natural for them to come to New York to bring some luxury goods that are much cheaper than in China for relatives and friends.
Especially from tomorrow, these executives will become real multimillionaires and even billionaires, and this time when they come to New York, they will naturally have to buy enough!
In a sense, these fifty executives are about to reach the pinnacle of their lives, and looking at hundreds of millions of compatriots in China, it is quite rare to be able to do what they are doing now in their careers!
Now, it's the eve of their success!
…………
As for Xiao Feng's family, they naturally won't go shopping everywhere when they come to New York, after all, they have everything in Los Angeles, and they don't have to travel thousands of miles to New York to swipe their cards.
Broadway operas, plays, and musicals are clearly too sophisticated, and while the kids have high IQs, it's not the time to take them there.
Today, it is rare for New York to take advantage of the good weather to take the children to visit the statue of the goddess of freedom, which is also a dream of Xiao Feng's past.
The Statue of Liberty, also known as the Liberty Enlightening Theworld, was a gift from France to the United States in 1876 for the 100th anniversary of its independence. The Statue of Freedom in America is located near the Hudson River Estuary in New York, New York, USA, and is an important tourist attraction on the island where the statue is located.
The statue of the goddess of freedom in the United States is modeled after the statue of the goddess of freedom in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, France, and the famous French sculptor Bartholdi spent 10 years painstakingly completing the sculpture of the statue, the appearance of the goddess is designed from the sculptor's mother, and the right hand of the goddess holding the torch is modeled on the arm of the sculptor's wife. The goddess of Ziyou wears an ancient Greek-style costume and wears a crown with seven pointed rays symbolizing the seven continents and oceans of the world.
The goddess holds in her right hand a torch symbolizing freedom, and in her left hand she holds the Declaration of Independence inscribed on July 4, 1776, with broken handcuffs, shackles and chains at her feet. She symbolizes freedom and freedom from the constraints of ****, and was inaugurated and unveiled on October 28, 1886. The wrought iron interior of the statue was designed by Gustave Eiffel, who later built the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The statue is 46 meters high, 93 meters tall with a pedestal, weighs 225 tons, is cast in metal and rests on a concrete pedestal. The Goddess's pedestal, which was built by the famous Joseph Pulitzer with $100,000, is a museum of American immigration history.
Today, this statue has become a symbol of the United States, and has also become an important carrier of American cultural export.
…………
Before encountering 'Zizhu Space', Xiao Feng never thought that when he visited the island, the local management department would temporarily close the statue of the goddess of freedom and clear the site to serve them.
In Xiao Feng's imagination, he was at most like an ordinary tourist, spending money to buy a ticket to go up for a spin, take pictures, and come down.
But knowing that Xiao Feng was going to take the children to visit the Statue of Freedom, George Morgan immediately asked the management to temporarily close the Statue of Freedom in the name of 'repair'.
Many tourists who are visiting the island have seen the statue of the goddess temporarily closed, and a large group of bodyguards have gathered some people to climb the statue, knowing that it is a visit for the super-rich.
Compared to the ubiquitous privileges of the super-rich in the United States, politicians are a little more restrained, after all, they also have to take care of their own image. But in the United States, a country where 'money reigns', the super-rich are able to enjoy more privileges without offending the public.
Even if the reporter took pictures of Xiao Feng's visit to the venue, the media reports will not focus on the existence of privileges, but will depict the scene of Xiao Feng's family of six enjoying the statue of the goddess of freedom.
The media that survive in a capitalist world like the United States are naturally well versed in the way of market competition, and they know very well that people are interested in those contents, and they know that those contents will not arouse the disgust of these super-rich, and so on.
Xiao Feng, as the 'richest man in China' and the top three in the world's richest list, has enough status in the United States, and even some extreme racialists are at most secretly sarcastic, but they dare not criticize Xiao Feng's behavior in public.
…………
Half of the ferries from Manhattan go to the island every half hour, but the family naturally doesn't take public transportation, and George Morgan has already prepared a yacht on standby.
Although this yacht cannot be compared to the 'Ping'an', trying a 60-foot luxury yacht can easily send Xiao Feng's family and security personnel and staff to the island.
With the arrival of the luxury yacht and the temporary closure of the statue of the goddess of freedom, everyone at the scene knew that a big man was coming, but it was too far away, and they were not able to see the real faces of Xiao Feng and his party under the persuasion of the security personnel.
Xiao Feng's family entered the base of the statue of the goddess of freedom, which has been transformed into the 'American Immigration Museum', which contains various furnishings and historical materials that record the history of American immigrants, almost the past of the United States.
It is a young country, but it is also a country full of vitality and freedom, and it is the gathering of all kinds of talents from all over the world that has created the world's number one power today.
Mark William proudly introduced some of the history of the United States to his boss and small bosses, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, and a few children listened to it with relish.
However, for Nini and Yu'er, two young geniuses who have begun to get in touch with Chinese history courses, the history of the United States is too short, and it is not as long as the history of China told by Dad.
However, the two little ones naturally didn't ask in person, and more questions could only be left for discussion with their father after they got home.
After visiting the Immigration Museum, Xiao Feng and his family took the elevator from the base of the bronze statue to the top of the pedestal, and then they had to wind their way up the 171 steps to reach the crown at the top of the statue of the goddess.
As soon as they entered the empty spiral steps, several children began to compete, Nini and Yu'er in a group, and Ping'an in a group, to see who could run to the top first.
Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao didn't stop it, but cheered for the children with a smile, whoever reached the finish line first would be rewarded!
Xiao Feng, the athletic ability and physical strength of several children, are well known, more than a hundred steps are not too big a problem, besides, there are so many security personnel accompanying him, safety is not a problem.
At the sound of an order, Nini and Yu'er started the game first, and a minute later Ping'an also set off, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao did not follow closely, they slowly boarded hand in hand, and the children were handed over to the security personnel to take care of.
The final result of the game is obvious, Nini is a lot older than Yu'er, and her physical strength is better;
For Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao, it doesn't matter if the children win or lose the game, what is more important is the friendship between the children, which is the most important thing.
The family climbed to the observation deck at the base of the torch and saw Manhattan, known as the 'Babylon Steel Forest', on one side and the blue Atlantic Ocean on the other.
In the evening, Xiao Feng's family appeared in Madison Garden Plaza to watch the Lakers' away challenge to the Knicks in the New Year's game, and the live director frequently pointed the camera on the sidelines, Xiao Feng can be regarded as the brightest star in Madison tonight!
The second day after arriving in New York passed quietly, and tomorrow will be quite a meaningful day for many people! )
