Chapter 042: A Hurry to New York (Part I)
An Feng's idea is very good, set up a research center, save any inventions and creations in the future, it is too attractive to the public, although he often calls himself a "genius", but the genius who is exposed to the camera every day is not the life he wants.
But there's one more problem – money. Maybe it's been a bit of a big deal lately, and after deducting the four million from the last financing of Tailan, there are still two million left in the bank account, and I really can't afford to play the rhythm. If you want to get a research institute, I'm afraid you have to find a way to get money. The current market for diamonds is not good, and perhaps a loan is more appropriate.
After thinking about these and getting home, An Feng carefully took off the protective medium from the car, a total of more than sixty sets, 50% of which he completed by himself, and the rest were completed by those doctors, professors and the like for him, at the cost of owing favors. He didn't want to, but the lab only had one set of PCR.
The medium loaded with the next-generation grape tissue was transferred to An Feng's laboratory, and he specially built a culture room, irradiated by fluorescent lamps, and quickly promoted the growth of new grapes in a standard amount of nutrients at 30 degrees Celsius. The information in his head told him to adjust it about once every 4-5 days.
After doing this, he slept beautifully.
After getting up, I called Jenny, who hadn't been in touch for a long time, and chatted aimlessly about the love words that men and women often say in love, basically no theme, but it's energy consumption, that is, you love me and I love you, I can say it all night, believe it? It's unimaginable to be someone other than your girlfriend.
Despite Jenny's recent busyness, An Feng decided to fly to New York. He didn't have much time on his own, probably to make up for the disappointment of her last time in Los Angeles, he was already on the plane anyway. Looking at the full schedule on his phone, he felt that this kind of love between the two places was too tiring. The vast majority of long-distance relationships are: phone calls once a day, once a week, once a month, and finally the end of the relationship.
In the afternoon, I arrived in the bustling metropolis of New York, An Feng has been to New York twice, but he has a quick glance, and he feels that his eyes can see high-rise buildings, crowded streets, dense crowds, and fast-paced life everywhere...... None of this is well suited to his lazy character.
While it was still early, I stopped a taxi with a classic yellow livery and drove to the car rental company.
Even in a city like New York with a developed public transportation system, it is inconvenient to have no car, so let An Feng squeeze the subway and take a taxi? One is that the subway is crowded, and the other is that taxis can't do whatever they want, so he doesn't do it. What is the money in your pocket for? He went to rent a luxury SUV: Range Rover.
Land Rover is known as the Rolls-Royce in the SUV, somewhat based on the pursuit of comfort and off-road ability, although there are small problems, but ignoring these, the driving performance makes An Feng very satisfied. Driving a big car has one of the most obvious advantages: a wide field of view. When you get drunk, you will be full of pride, and occasionally you feel invincible.
For example, when waiting for passage in the crowded traffic, those car drivers see dense vehicles and crowds, while An Feng can look out at the tall buildings in the distance and all kinds of shops along the street. The pot calling the kettle black? Sort of...... But my brother just has an advantage, and I don't accept you to drive the F650 (claiming to sit on the second floor and drive).
What is there to do in New York? Fifth Avenue shopping. Apart from this, An Feng can't think of anything else, his favorite city is Sunshine Beach, with beautiful scenery and comfort. Los Angeles fits a few of those points, so he likes it. As a metropolis of dreams, New York is probably more of a stressful and mechanical life, and it should feel very depressing to commute in this high-rise steel city all day, right?
Of course, not including those high-level, or real bosses. It is said that these financial giants claim to be millions of dollars per minute, but they live far away, what to do? - Helicopters. Every high-rise building that looks up to has an apron on its radar, which is naturally for the tycoons.
An Feng followed the navigator and found Fifth Avenue, which is probably a place where a large number of people live in very few urban areas in the United States, and the housing prices are not low. The houses around New York's Central Park are basically calculated in tens of millions of dollars, with a small amount exceeding 100 million, echoing the Beverly Hills of Los Angeles.
When I drove through Central Park, I despised these local tyrants in my heart, but in the final analysis, why would I despise them? Because he envies. Secretly scolded himself**, after driving a few hundred meters out of the one-way lane, he encountered a traffic jam. I'm used to living on the outskirts of the city, and I'm not used to letting go of the throttle.
Turn on the car radio, there are songs as soon as it is turned on, and it is also rap style, listening to the bursts of foul language and complaining inside, An Feng's head shook and shook, moving forward little by little with the traffic, the left hand side is full of tall buildings, and the right hand is a wooded park.
When the phone rang, An Feng lowered the music, looked left and right to see if there were any police, and answered: "Hi, honey!" ”
"Hey, you're in New York?" Jenny said.
"I just arrived, and I'm looking for a hotel around Central Park." An Feng looked left and right, feeling that the streets of New York were almost the same, he should be right?
"Well, found a message to me." Jenny said, "And I may go back later tonight, the crew has temporarily added a task, sorry." ”
"It's okay, I'll wait for you." An Feng said.
"Okay, then goodbye, see you tonight." Jenny's silver bell-like laughter rang over the phone.
An Feng put away the phone and muttered: "Why do you have to be an actor to be tired." The car continued to drive forward, and after a few kilometers Central Park finally disappeared, but it also meant that he was on the wrong track. The road names in this area are very painful, and they are all marked with numbers, and it takes a little effort to memorize them.
Make a U-turn ahead and continue walking towards the park, looking at both sides of the street, you can see the scaffolding on the sidewalks all year round, these shops are always renovated for your home this year and my house next year. And the streets are not as clean and tidy as the legend says, and you can sometimes see some pieces of paper and packaging on the roadside. The garbage cans were often full, with several black plastic bags thrown nearby, and a beggar rummaging through the bins.
When An Feng saw this scene, Ah Q gave the Americans the spirit: "At least the manhole cover on the road is still there." ”
After turning around, he found a hotel next to Central Park, parked and took his luggage, and the parking attendant would find a parking space around the crowded street for him, book a presidential suite on the upper floor, and use a special elevator to go upstairs. He should keep a low profile – as long as he doesn't upset himself.
The long-distance plane and self-driving trip are very tired, lie on the comfortable bed and close your eyes, the good sound insulation blocks the noise of the bustling world outside the window, and falls asleep unconsciously. By the time he woke up from his sleep, the lights were already shining outside the window, and night covered the city that never sleeps.
Looking at the time, it was past eight o'clock, and Jenny hadn't come back yet. I had to go down there to eat something first, and I wanted to go to the park for a walk, but I thought of the warnings of my predecessors, that day and night in the United States are two contrasts, you can see what you want to see during the day, but when night falls, it usually comes the other way around.
After weighing his own ability, it's okay to hit three or three, but the situation is different in China, and there are guns here. For example, someone has satirized Chicago's strict gun ban law, saying that no matter how it is banned, it can only get rid of the hands of the P people, and the gangs can always get guns. Guns were strictly banned, and as a result, the Chicago shootings were among the top three in the United States.
Standing on the sidewalk in front of the hotel for a few minutes, the traffic is still flowing, but there are few people on the sidewalk, and some of them are in a hurry, or with bad intentions. An Feng calculated a hexagram for himself, it was not appropriate to go out tonight, turned around and went upstairs, turned on the TV to watch paid eighteen banned programs...... Well, it's actually HBO's 'Game of Thrones'. See how you judge it, dark, bloody, undisciplined collection has it.
At ten o'clock, the phone rang, answered the call, and walked to open the door.
"Hey!" Jenny outside the door smiled slightly, walked in, and hugged him warmly.
An Feng let go of her, looked at her face, and said, "You look tired. ”
Jenny nodded, then pouted: "Who made me so stupid, I was always called CUT by the director, and I have to repeat my good jokes again and again." ”
"It's terrible." An Feng said pitifully, "Have you eaten enough?" Would you like to call something for you? ”
"Ate some, but I'm not going to refuse your kindness." Jenny smiled and kissed him.
"You go and rest."
An Feng motioned for her to sit on the sofa, and dialed the hotel's delivery phone by himself, and when he looked back after the call, Jenny was already tired and asleep.
