Chapter 329: Gotham City in Reality?
"That's not necessarily, if everything goes well, the business can be negotiated within an hour, and then tomorrow we will continue to play, and I will have to go back the day after tomorrow, and I can't accompany you to that jewelry fair." Lu Chengfeng sighed and said.
"Don't participate, you're going to embarrass me."
"Damn, you're not the same turtle."
The two of them were fighting together again.
To be honest, these two guys are really two turtles together, obviously they are both rich people, but the things they wear don't look like rich people at all, and it's no wonder that they were underestimated by Tiffany's salespeople before.
"Okay, then if you have time, where are you going to go tomorrow, let's design the route, today's wandering around without a goal is really tiring, and I have taken a lot of unjust roads." Gossey thought for a moment.
"I want to go to the Metropolitan Museum, it's a shame not to be there in New York."
"Yes, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has more than 3.3 million works of art from Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, the Far and Near East, Greece and Rome, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and New Guinea. It includes architecture, sculptures, paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, glassware, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, furniture, ancient houses, weapons, armour, and musical instruments from all historical periods. There are 19 specialized departments responsible for the collection, preservation and exhibition of various collections. That's a real cow! Gao Xi still has a little impression of this museum, after all, he is also a scholar, and he has also learned about the United States after coming to the United States.
"So big? So how are you going to visit, will it make the two of us tired and can't finish the visit? ”
"Well, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you can go to any of your favorite galleries according to the guided map. Ancient Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Rome, European countries, Africa, Latin America, etc., represent almost every marked place on the globe. As well as representative artworks of different historical stages such as primitive society, slave society, various periods of the European Middle Ages, major Asian dynasties, modern and modern times, etc., there are special exhibition halls in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. If you want to visit them all at once, it's not realistic, anyway, if you work in the U.S. in the future, you will have the opportunity to come back and see it. Gaucy explained.
"That's right. Everyone at the Metropolitan Museum of Art will always see something different, and we don't necessarily have to see it all. Lu Chengfeng felt that he sometimes really had some signs of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he was not as open as Gao Xi.
"Yes, in fact, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, some people see the history of the exhibits themselves, some people see the history of the countries of the exhibits, some people see its unique artistic value from the exhibits, and some people see the artistic characteristics of the era to which it belongs. Some people go on a pilgrimage for the ideals in their hearts, some people go on a pilgrimage for the sake of their fame, some people hate not being able to see all the vast exhibits, and some people are grateful to be able to appreciate the precious collections. The museum will continue to stand for those who will benefit from it. Anyway, it is estimated that it will not go out of business in the short term, just take the time to look at it, and it is not as troublesome as imagined. Gao Xi nodded.
In fact, Gao Xi himself is quite interested in this museum. This museum exhibits works of art from ancient civilizations to the present day, including hundreds of masterpieces of the world's civilizations. The museum exhibits more than just paintings and sculptures. Tapestries, musical instruments, costumes and ornaments are also on display. The five main halls are: European Painting, American Painting, Primitive Art, Medieval Painting and Egyptian Antiques.
Although there is no Chinese exhibition hall, there is a Chinese pavilion, and there are many more things in it than the private collection of the Saudi prince, and you will definitely not regret going there.
"If we have time after visiting the Met, let's go see the Statue of Liberty and see St. Patrick's Cathedral. By the way, there is also the big golden bull on Wall Street who claims to be able to make a fortune after touching it! "Lu Chengfeng really feels like he's here for tourism this time, not for work at all, this guy really wants to visit all the places in New York.
"I'm very suspicious of your real purpose in coming to New York, you shouldn't be traveling at public expense in the name of a business trip, right?" Gao Xi touched Lu Chengfeng with his shoulder and said with a smile.
"Brother Xi. We can eat this food indiscriminately, but we can't talk nonsense! You're going to lose my job!" Lu Chengfeng hurriedly said.
"Cut, you really think that your boss will clairvoyance and ears, afraid of wool. Let's go, look at you scared like this, let's go for a ride today, although the roads in the United States are rotten, but New York is still very good, plus the car is really not as congested as in China, you can take a good ride, by the way, what is a fashionable term called? That's what you people from eastern Guangdong said? ”
"Swim the river!"
"Yes, it's called the Swim River, but I think it's more fun to call it a ride, and the Swim River is also an image, the traffic is surging, it really looks like a river, but it's just not smooth." Gao Xi said with a smile.
"Okay, go for a ride, I'm tired of walking, it's okay to go for a ride, but it's a pity that this is not a convertible, otherwise it would be even cooler." Lu Chengfeng said with a smile.
"I'm still not used to convertibles, it's so polluted, and the air in New York isn't as good as I thought." Gaucy shrugged his shoulders and closed the windows.
"You call it frugality, Bozeman must have better air than here, in fact, the air in New York is much better than many cities in China." Lu Chengfeng shook his head and said.
Gao Xi started the car, randomly found a direction and drove over, it is not easy to get lost in the modern city, there are GPS navigation, and mobile phone positioning, it is really not possible to call someone to help, this huge New York City, will not lose people. So he was going to take a aimless drive and look for places with fewer cars, so that the speed would be faster and the pollution would be relatively smaller.
Lu Chengfeng sat in the car, listening to the songs, but he was also content, and sometimes even opened the window to enjoy the excitement of the wind blowing in, this ride may be a good choice. Although James's Buick has been bought and driven for a long time, the horsepower is good and the comfort is good.
"I'm rubbing, what kind of place is this, why does it suddenly feel like you're in another city, you kid can't really get lost, right?"
When the car was driving, Lu Chengfeng suddenly shouted, because he found that the architectural style outside had suddenly changed a lot, and he was a little anxious for a while.
If he really gets lost, then tomorrow will delay the company's affairs, and it will be difficult to do, although he did come out to play in the name of a business trip this time, but he didn't plan to put the company's affairs aside, and the things that should be done, of course, still have to be done.
"No, I haven't left the city at all, you wait, I'll see what the name on the map is." Gao Xi pulled over to the side of the road and began to look at the display of the navigator.
"Blue ...... Blue! ”
"Blue ghost, how did you learn the phone bug in One Piece?"
"No, oh, by the way, this place should be called Brooklyn, I mean, this didn't leave New York City, what are you screaming, it scares me." Gao Xi said, well, he thought that he had gone directly through the time and space tunnel to somewhere else.
"What do you say? Brooklyn? Oh my God, how did you get here, I heard from my colleagues that it's better not to come to this place in New York, especially if you are Chinese or Chinese. This place was once inhabited by blacks and other ethnic minorities, coupled with the low level of education, employment difficulties and racist discrimination of ethnic minorities in the history of the United States, this was once the highest crime rate in the United States, and was regarded by some as the original place of chaos, dirt and crime! Many of the fictional cities in American superhero films are based on the borough of Brooklyn! Lu Chengfeng was a little anxious.
Gao Xi looked outside, and the streets in most of Brooklyn were laid out in a neat and orderly manner like a chessboard; Many street names are named with numbers, so if you get lost, it won't be hard to find. The wide and bustling commercial street is lined with small alleys and alleys of quiet residential areas, and the houses are colorful and colorful, but the architectural style of each street is often relatively consistent. Except for some apartment buildings with no more than six floors, most of the houses are two-storey buildings, with independent bungalows in the greenery, small houses with fairy tale flavors, and exquisite and practical duplex or townhouses; There are colonial style of colonized arches of the loggia, Victorian style of thin columns with protruding windows, thick and luxurious brownstone, and so on.
"Oh, these old houses with different styles, colorful, neat and beautiful, have a history of more than 100 years, they are like well-dressed half-aged, and the vicissitudes of life are gorgeous. I think this place is good, if you stroll through the streets and alleys, enjoy the gentle leisure, watch the red flowers and green grass in the front yard of every house, and the decorative pieces that seem to be scattered there unintentionally, it is definitely pleasing to the eye and beautiful. Besides, I've heard of this place, and the situation has changed dramatically with the development of society. The environment has become more beautiful, and the quality of the population has also improved significantly. You're scared of a fart. ”
"By the way, I've heard old Tom say that politicians and local civil rights leaders like to say that one out of every seven Americans has roots that go back here; Brooklyn is the cradle of exceptional people and Nobel laureates. Whether this is true or not, Brooklyn is home to many celebrities, and the films, television, and books inspired by local people, attractions, and legends have contributed much to American culture. Such as NBA star Michael. Jordan, Hollywood film director Woody. Allen, boxing champion Tyson, talk show celebrity Larry. Kim and the others grew up here. Don't you like Jordan the most? Gossey asked.
"I like Jordan with big breasts, forget it, you don't understand it anyway!" (To be continued......)
