Chapter 11 The International City Is Just Like That
To be honest, let Gao Xi, a native old hat, look at it, Dong Chen's villa is similar to the courtyard in his hometown, it's just a little more convenient, and then he doesn't look at the sheep, so the smell is better. As for others, such as toilets, running water, and bathrooms that can be installed with flushing toilets, his yard is also fully equipped.
Dong Chen's room for Gao Xi is more than ten square meters, and the furnishings feel no different from the house in his hometown, but this wallpaper is too Westernized, but Gao Xi is also a young man, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong. After putting down his surname Li, he first went to take a shower, and then went to the living room.
Dong Chen washed the fruit, took a drink from the refrigerator, and was sitting there watching the film, to Gao Xi's surprise, this TV actually put an American blockbuster with Chinese subtitles, asked him how to get it, he said that he downloaded it when he was in China, this matter cannot be let the police know, otherwise it will be trouble.
The movie is the blockbuster "Jurassic World" that has just been staged in the mainland recently, seeing the scene of the protagonist domesticating a velociraptor in the film, Gao Xi couldn't help but think of himself, it is estimated that he can't raise a velociraptor or something, but it is still possible to raise a tiger or lion or something, right?
"Brother Xi, what do you think of New York?" Dong Chen lowered the voice of the movie a lot, and then asked.
"Well, I can't see it clearly at night, but this night view doesn't seem to be much different from the cities in China. To be honest, I was quite disappointed, I thought that the cosmopolitan city of New York was so good, who knew that it was better to see it than to hear it, but I felt that there were more foreigners here, and I saw several along the way. Gao Xi thought for a moment.
"You're not, this is New York, you should be a foreigner." Dong Chen said with a smile.
"Haha, that's what I said, this brain hasn't turned for a while." Gao Xi stuck out his tongue, this is the first time he has gone abroad, and it is a joke.
"Our country has developed rapidly in recent years, but the big cities are all high-rise buildings, and New York is becoming more and more similar, so when you come here, you really can't see any difference, unless you go to the street to experience it yourself, it will be different, after all, most people here speak English, in China, or Mandarin. When it comes to big cities, there are actually no small cities that have special features. Dong Chen shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Is there anything to do in New York?" For Gao Xi, the difference between the big cities should be the more famous tourist attractions, although he is here to do business this time, but since he is here, he should look around, at least prove that he has been to New York, and let the parents rest assured, otherwise they still think that their baby son has been fooled away by a pyramid scheme.
"It's really not fun for you, those so-called fun places in New York, either opera performances or museums, you are not interested in these, and it is probably not interesting to go. If you want to prove you've been to New York, take a photo with the Statue of Liberty or the United Nations building. "Dong Chen knows Gao Xi too well, and like him, he has no interest in collections, art, etc., and it is a waste of time to go to those places.
"Dong Chen, who knows me, then forget it, don't play." As soon as Gao Xi heard Dong Chen's words, he immediately became uninterested: "Just get down to business first." ”
"You mean the gold trade, right? But I see that when you came, you took a suitcase, and it was one of those small suitcases, which was probably full of clothes, and how much gold could there be. Don't be stupid, even if it's a gold appraisal, it costs a fee, and the price is not expensive, if you don't have a lot of things, I still recommend domestic appraisal, which is much cheaper. "Dong Chen naturally won't harm Gao Xi, this is the truth.
"It's okay, the appraisal fee they ask for is not more expensive than the price of the gold itself, right?" Gossi said.
"Of course not, this gold testing is generally divided into non-destructive testing and destructive testing, non-destructive testing is cheaper, but not accurate enough, basically can only judge the authenticity and approximate content of gold, very cheap, and destructive testing is very accurate, that is, the price is more expensive, basically the identification cost is between two hundred dollars and five hundred dollars."
"Isn't that expensive? One gram of gold is only worth about 200 RMB, which is simply a money grab. ”
"Destructive testing is more expensive, of course, it's not calculated by grams, but by piece. Generally, if you go to the gold shop to do the appraisal, are jewelry and other things, if your gold is another kind, just when I didn't say it, this depends on what they say, of course, I introduced you to this gold shop can not show the appraisal certificate, if you want the appraisal certificate, then you can only go to a professional appraisal agency, then I will help you find. Dong Chen explained.
"It's really troublesome, okay, let's do it for now." Gao Xi touched his pocket, this time he didn't bring much money, it was less than two thousand dollars, if it really didn't work, then he could only go to the space to hunt and fish to make some extra money, but that kind of thing, if you can't do it, try not to do it, it's not easy to do business in any country, if you don't have permission, go to set up a stall, it's very troublesome.
In China, the city management is in charge, and there are also police in foreign countries, which is very troublesome.
"Just think about it, anyway, if your kid gets rich, you must have a dinner party, you can't escape." Dong Chen said with a smile.
"What's a treat, it's not a problem to send you tens of thousands of oceans." Gao Xi's words are not polite, in the years when he was in college, he also touched Dong Chen's light, met a lot of friends, and spent a lot of Dong Chen's money, and he was embarrassed in his heart, if he really had money, he would not only have to pay it back, but also double it.
"How many tens of thousands of oceans are there? Dollar or Soft Girl Coin?"
"Dollars, of course!"
"Ho, so generous, you have to know that 10,000 US dollars is 60,000 soft sister coins, I heard that you haven't even bought a car until now, and this 60,000 yuan is enough to buy a domestic car." You also said tens of thousands, then it's okay to buy a good joint venture car, you better keep it for your own expenses, and I'm not short of money. Dong Chen is a generous and generous person, but in the whole four years of college, only he has a good relationship with Gao Xi, because Gao Xi knows gratitude and knows his goodness, unlike some people who use his money and scold him behind his back to show off his wealth.
He really doesn't lack money, his father is a real tyrant in China, and his family's assets are hundreds of millions, so he really doesn't lack such a little money, besides, he is an only son in his family, but he can let him spend it.
When he graduated that year, Dong Chen actually wanted to give Gao Xi a car, although it was only an Audi car of more than 200,000 yuan, but at that time, it really scared Gao Xi, and Gao Xi resolutely did not ask for it. It's not that he's hypocritical, if he usually eats a meal or something, it doesn't matter if Dong Chen treats him, after all, it's a small amount of money, and he can't spend a few thousand yuan in four years of college, and he can afford it, but the 200,000 Audi, he may not be able to afford it if he vomits blood, so he resolutely dare not ask for it.
He can accept Dong Chen's generosity, but with the money, he will definitely have to pay it back.
"That's not good, our ancestors have said that when you receive the grace of a drop of water, you should repay it with a spring. When I was in college, I didn't have much income, and my family didn't have much living expenses, so I couldn't afford to spend money on dinners, but I used a lot of your money. I keep a record of every payment, and I've been trying to find a time to pay it back to you, and now that I have an income, even if the gold is identified as fake this time, it's okay, and the money will definitely be returned to you. ”
"Damn, what do you think of me?"
"Don't be angry, you invited me to dinner in the past, but now I can't invite you? That's what makes a friend. Gaucy said.
"I can't stand you, I really remember everything so clearly." Dong Chen was speechless and smiled bitterly: "I didn't think about letting you pay back." ”
"I understand your generosity, but you also have to understand my character, I don't want to owe anyone anything. I can pay you back this money, but I won't pay it back this friendship, and I will bury it in my heart for the rest of my life. Gao Xi laughed.
