Chapter 17: New York Tours
The name of a large street in the southern part of Manhattan that stretches from Broadway to the East River, no more than a third of a mile long and only 11 meters wide, is a transliteration of the English "Wall Street." After parking the car casually, Ji Xin and the three of them mixed into a Chinese tour group, and at this time, the three of them were listening to the introduction of the tour guide with great interest.
This is a large group, and the leader is a female tour guide, who is not very old, but if you look at it from Ji **'s eyes, she looks more like a female college student. Dark skinny jeans, a white shirt painted with a cute Mickey Mouse pattern, and a pair of pink sneakers make people feel energetic and vibrant.
seems to understand their own charm very well, a flick of their shoulder-length hair, the female tour guide smiled smartly, "You have not been here before, you must think that Wall Street must be magnificent, maybe paved with gold brick floor" Many male tourists seem to have a moment of distraction, but fortunately, most of the people who come to travel this time drag their families with their mouths, at this time, as long as the wife's small hand next to her is so gently turned on the tender meat on her husband's waist, left and right, everyone's attention immediately returned to the content of the introduction
"The streets are narrow and short, only 7 blocks from Broadway to the East River. In 1792, the Dutch colonists built an earthen wall to defend against the British invasion, from the East River to the Hudson River, and formed a street along the wall, hence the name Wallstreet. The walls were later demolished, but the name "Wall Street" was retained. The offices of the managers of banks, insurance, shipping, railways, and other companies opened by the American Morgan chaebol, the Rockefeller oil magnate, and the DuPont consortium are concentrated here. The famous New York Stock Exchange is also here. ”
"This tour guide explained very well, thorough and detailed, wait until I go back and give the tour company a thumbs up" Seeing that the tourists next to him all looked like decent men and gentlemen, Zhang Mingyu said loudly and funny. As soon as the words fell, he immediately attracted the eyes of the men around him, who is this, he is not afraid to go home and serve on the washboard, everyone is called an admiration!
Wait and take a look, damn, it turned out to be 3 singles, I said how dare I be so blatantly courteous, and then think about my current situation, what a miserable word. Ji Xin only felt the cool breeze behind him, needless to say, the fat man's words were properly attracted by hatred.
Huangfu, how could this kid have encountered this kind of scene, this kind of good boy paper who handed over to the police uncle even if he saw 1 yuan in China, when he went abroad, he became a lawyer again, a high-end profession, and he couldn't be so embarrassed, at this time his face was flushed, both the excitement of following the mixed listening group, and some helplessness. "These two friends I just met are really special, and life with them is colorful."
Having said that, regardless of the fat man who was playing Bao Aixian in front and the Huangfu lawyer who pretended to be an innocent big boy, Ji Xin smiled and nodded towards the girl who obviously found herself three soy sauce parties, expressing his gratitude. Not to mention anything else, like this kind of exotic tour, the tour guide who is generally with the group will mention 120,000 caution, after all, if you are not familiar with life, an accident is a big deal. If there are 3 more people like this, and no one finds out, then Ji Xin thinks it is better to count on the kindness of the travel company and send a tour guide to explain to tourists for free.
Along the way, a large group of people came to their destination, which is also something that almost all visitors to New York want to see, a large bronze bull. Everyone stood in front of Niu Niu and seemed to be shocked by the domineering big guy in front of them. Just right, a pleasant voice came: "The Wall Street Bronze Bull is the symbol of Wall Street in the United States, a 5-meter-long, 6.3-ton bronze bull statue." The Wall Street Copper Bull is a symbol of "strength and courage", which means that as long as the Copper Bull is there, the stock market will always maintain a "bull" market. Therefore, there are also many people who are willing to stroke the horns of the cow, thinking that they can make their own money."
Ji Xin looked at the huge sculpture bronze bull lying there gloomily in front of him, and felt a pain in the egg. This thing can actually bring wealth, and those foreigners are really good at it, and there are so many people who believe it. Seeing that even the fat man and Huangfu Jiang were flocking to Tongniu with the crowd, shaking his head slightly, Ji Xin was about to stand at the height of a philosopher to criticize this kind of unearned thinking, and then shouted a "layman" to drink the head, but he was slapped in the back.
Maybe it was the result of the special training of the second master during the period before going abroad, or maybe it was the insecurity that came with coming to a foreign country, Ji Xin subconsciously slapped his left shoulder with his right hand, this time, Ji Xin found out that something was wrong, this is not acting in a movie, how can there be so many dangers, and besides, he seems to have touched something, pinched it gently, soft and tender, obediently which goddess is the softness.
Suddenly, Ji Xin, who was still an innocent little virgin, blushed to the base of her neck, and then looked back, it was not the beautiful tour guide who filmed herself just now, she seemed to be frightened by Ji Xin's actions, and the little girl was also a little at a loss, not knowing how to break the embarrassment. As for Ji Xin, he has rich theoretical experience, and he thinks of the third article of the rules for picking up girls taught to him by several brothers in college, it seems that he should never let a girl fall into embarrassment, even if he has nothing to say, it is better than being stupid and playing with the right eyes.
Scratching his scalp, Ji Xin greeted "Hello, I'm Ji Xin, just arrived in the United States not long ago, just listened to your explanation is very interesting, this is to follow, sorry" The tour guide on the opposite side is quite hearty: "Nothing, generally just go abroad to see a group of Chinese will feel very cordial, I have led a group of people in the past has also had this situation, besides, your recognition is the affirmation of my work" said and stretched out his hand "Let's get to know, my name is Tian Ran, I am an international student"
Seeing that it was still early before the meeting time, Ji Xin chatted with Tian Ran very speculatively. It didn't take long for Ji Xin to understand that Tian Ran was not a formal employee of the tourism company, she belonged to the external staff of the tour group, mainly local Chinese students, and many people came out to work part-time during the holidays, and experienced the social reality by the way.
"I said, seeing that you are not as old as me, it is really amazing to lead a group of so many people" Ji Xin patted his chest and looked relieved. "I thought that domestic companies were no longer in seniority?"
"Poof" Sure enough, the girl was so amused that she couldn't do it, "You are really good at arranging people, the company is actually based on ability first, but those older employees should take proper care of it, besides, I see that you and your friends are not only traveling, but also traveling abroad, and the salary will never be low."
"I've won the award," Ji Xin pointed to the two people in front of him and said, "The two of them belong to the high-income group, one is a lawyer, the other is to invest in Lao Mei, and I only plan to buy a small ranch and continue to be a farmer." ”
Tian Ran had a very shrewd expression on his face, "Hehe, farmers are great in the United States, you don't look at the governors and presidents during every election." Besides, even if you are a farmer, you are a big rancher, the kind of enclosure. Look at the clothes on your body, although there is no brand, but the workmanship and needlework are obviously not simple, and the watch in your hand, but Longines, the price is not cheap. ”
Ji Xin was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't know that before the auction, the set of outfits prepared by the fat man for himself was so exquisite, and he didn't think it was a famous brand, but it was very comfortable to wear. Ji Xin touched his nose, he was embarrassed to confess, he just smirked, and he felt a little pretending in his heart, but God was pitiful, he really didn't think about pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
waited until all the tourists lined up to touch the copper bull before the girl planned to lead the team away and prepare to go back to the hotel to eat and rest, but Ji Xin and the three of them would be embarrassed to eat and drink again, and they were reluctant to break up. Ji Xin held the business card of the tour guide with a faint perfume smell in his hand, looked at the direction of the people's departure, and felt a trace of nostalgia in his heart.
"Brother, don't look at it, didn't they leave you your contact information? I'll take a look at "Huangfu Jiang, who has just recovered, took the card, "Hey, Tian Ran, it's actually a graduate student at the University of Tennessee, it seems that Xinzi, the ranch you fancy is also nearby, this is fate, brother"
"That's right, this donor, Lao Wei just calculated, you and should have a relationship with this woman, so Sao Nian muster up the courage to go up" Ji Xin skimmed the bad friend next to him, since the last celebration dinner held by the auction house, after the two of them saw their youthfulness towards women, they were eager to take out their girlfriends every day to show off, which would encourage themselves. Suppressing the spring heart in his heart, and carefully putting away the business card, Ji Xin strode forward, "Look at your pig brother, is my brother the kind of casual person, hurry up and pick up the car for dinner, and I have to go to the Metropolitan Museum in the afternoon."
In the afternoon, at the Metropolitan Museum, one of the trio was admiring the cultural relics on display with a toothpick in his mouth, "Tsk, the American Museum is really good, but the food is a little worse"
"That's a must, the Metropolitan Museum of Art covers an area of 130,000 square meters, and it is one of the four major art museums in the world, along with the British Museum in London, the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, and the Leningrad Museum of Art in St. Petersburg, Russia." The fat man read the brochure in his hand, which was given by the tour guide in the morning, and the places where various treasures and cultural relics were collected were recorded, so that a group of people took a lot of unjust roads, and were deeply loved by obese people, such as the fat man next to Ji Xin who was shaking his head.
"Now I find the gap between professional and amateur" Ji Xin remembered that when he first arrived in the United States, the fat man patted his chest and said that he was an American expert, and he had to take him to visit New York at night. When the two of them arrived at Times Square against the cold wind, they were still waiting for the introduction, at least talk about history, what big things happened here, etc., who knew that the fat man came to the point concisely, this is Times Square and then arranged to visit by himself, which makes people full of black lines.
