Chapter 592: Fake Street
Juan turned to Foreman and asked, "Where is this street, I want to go and visit it too!" ”。
Foreman looked at Juan and smiled and said: "It's just down the street in Manhattan, if you want to take a taxi, just tell the taxi driver about Canal Street, there is no one in New York who doesn't know this street, where things are very cheap, brand-name bags from the same factory, you can buy them for only forty dollars, and there is no difference in quality, but if you buy G?" A?2M or his championship series don't want it, you can see it when you know it."
Juan smiled at Foreman and thanked him, waved goodbye to Foreman, got up from his chair, and walked straight to the exit of Central Park. Walked outside, beckoned a taxi to stop in front of him, Ju An got into the car and said directly to the driver, Canal Street, the driver didn't say a word, and immediately started the car.
"It's going to Canal Street to see some obsolete goods," the driver asked with a smile at Ju An after driving the car steadily.
Ju An nodded and said, "I heard that there is a lively place, so I thought I would go over and have a look, do you know where it is?" ”。 If you are idle, you will talk nonsense with the driver.
The old white man said with a smile: "Who in New York doesn't know, you can meet customers who want to go there every day, but you go there and be careful of the police, many police will make up to catch hawkers, and now they will be fined if they are caught buying."
Ju An smiled and said, "Then I'll be careful." It's not that Ju'an hasn't seen the makeup kung fu of the New York police, Cora used to wear makeup, and she wasn't brought to her home by Wang Fan's makeup. What's the big deal.
Chatting with the driver all the way. Before you know it, you're on Canal Street. The driver put Ju An under the two Chinese signs in Chinatown, stopped the car, and said to Ju An: "Here it is." Then he pointed with his hand: "Just follow this street."
Ju An paid for the car, said thank you to the driver, and got out of the car.
After walking along the street for a while, a Chinese man in his thirties wearing a shirt came over and asked Ju An, "Is it Chinese?" ”。
Ju An nodded. The man looked around and saw that no one noticed him, so he said to Ju An, "Do you want to buy some imitations?" ”。 Seeing Ju An nodded, he took out a dozen cards from the pocket of his pants and handed them to Ju An: "You take a look at this first, if you like it, I can take you to see the goods, everyone is Chinese and can't pit you." After speaking, he turned his head and looked around, looking very cautious.
Picking up the card, Ju An flipped through it, and sure enough, as Foreman said, a dozen or so cards were full of name tags. Among them, there is G? A?2M。 Ju An pointed to the card and said to the man, "I want to see this!" ”。
The man nodded, then put away the card in Ju An's hand. shook his head at Ju An and motioned for Ju An to follow him. Ju An followed the peddler and entered an alley, and after walking through the alley for three or four minutes, he entered a small room full of all kinds of fakes.
The peddler took a bag that Ju An had just seen and handed it to Ju An, Ju An reached out and took it, and as soon as he got it, he felt wrong, the leather was too hard, and it did not have the softness and warmth of the cowhide produced in his own pasture, so he asked the vendor: "This is too different from the real thing."
"This brand is produced by Lao Mei himself, the cowhide is different, there is no way to imitate" and then patted the bag that Ju An held in his hand: "Our imitation is the same thing, we are all Chinese I will not lie to you, if you take this LV or something, I guarantee that you take it and follow the real thing, it is all from a factory."
Of course, Ju An couldn't buy this thing, so he made an excuse and said to the vendor: "My daughter-in-law likes this bag, and she has everything else, so she wants to get a high-end imitation."
The peddler looked at Ju An and shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, I really don't lie to you, this thing is not high, the cowhide plus the treatment is at most six or seven points, and you can know it when you touch it in the hands of people, it is not much better than your hands, and the cowhide treatment is soft and silky."
Ju An showed a regretful expression on his face: "Then I'll take a look." The vendor nodded at Ju An: "Then brother, you can go to another house to have a look." After speaking, he took Ju An out of the door, locked the door and walked towards the interface with Ju An.
When I said goodbye to the hawker on the side of the road, I wanted to laugh in my heart, a bit like when I was in college, I went to Zhujiang Road in the south of the Yangtze River to buy pirated CDs. Dude wants a disc no, there's everything, software, Europe, America, Japan, come in and take a look. If you encounter this door and that door, some people will say to passers-by from time to time: Do you want a full set of camera doors!
After walking here for a while, I saw several groups of foreigners, black and white, who followed the hawkers into the alley, and some foreigners would have one or two brand-name bags in their hands when they came out. After walking for a while, I found that many of the customers were foreigners, and most of the Asian faces were hawkers.
Don't think that Lao Mei doesn't use imitations, don't want to use pirated software for a few dollars, they want to use it but can't find a place to sell it, they want to download it online, then the website is not as fast as it is closed, and they have to lose money and go to jail, the cost is too high. You see so many foreigners buying this high-imitation bag, and the intellectual property protection of foreigners who have not seen it is much better than that in China.
While walking and watching and laughing, Ju An happily walked the street from time to time to wave his hand at the vendor who came up on the side of the road, walking and walking to see a strange thing, a woman who looked twenty-seven or eight years old, was putting a box at the intersection, Ju An just walked to the side, saw that the woman's box was full of all kinds of brand-name jewelry, the whole box was full of jewels, Ju An squatted down curiously, picked up a ruby necklace, looked at it twice and asked the vendor in Chinese: "What material is this?"
The female vendor glanced at the goods in Ju'an's hand and said in soft southern Mandarin: "The chain is iron, and the gems are plastic, and they will fade after wearing them for a long time." Still an honest peddler, Ju An put down the necklace in his hand, and then picked up another bracelet and looked at it, at this time, a female Chinese under the age of forty came over and said to the female vendor: "I said sister! It's the first time I've set up a stall here."
The female peddler nodded: "Yes! This morning, I came out of the stall for the first time." As soon as the words fell, I heard a crisp children's voice not far behind: "Mom! ”。 As soon as Ju An looked up, he saw a little girl about three years old running over and saying to the female vendor, "Mom! This is delicious! ”。
The female vendor smiled and said, "Lan Lan eats it herself, but her mother doesn't eat it." The little girl put her toes on her toes and let her mother bite gently, and then happily ran to the mouth of the alley and squatted to eat. Ju An looked at it and praised: "This kid is so sensible!" ”。 The female peddler smiled.
The woman who had just come over said to the female vendor, "Big girl! Put your stall in the alley a little bit, if the police don't come, you won't be able to run! You're too conspicuous, shrinking into the alley, so that the police come on both sides, put away the boxes and run fast, you're too bold."
"Thank you, big sister!" When the female vendor heard this, she put away the box and walked towards the mouth of the alley, and when she got to the mouth of the alley, she said to the female vendor just now, "Is this all right?" ”。
The female vendor looked at it: "It's too inside, the guests outside can't see it, it's just two or three meters away from the mouth of the box, just to run well when the time comes, you still have a child here." After speaking, he walked over and pulled the stall of the female vendor with the child to the front: "I heard someone shouting at the intersection that the police were coming, so I immediately put away my things and ran inside, just keep running."
Ju An listened to what this aunt said interestingly, so he smiled and asked, "How many times a day does this policeman come?" ”。
"Sometimes I don't come for a day, sometimes I come five or six times a day, and I have plainclothes with makeup," the aunt explained to Ju An. Helped the female vendor put away her things, and continued: "Don't take the child next time, it doesn't cost much to send it to kindergarten, did you smuggle it here or what?" ”。
"My daughter is an American citizen, and I stayed here as a guardian," the vendor said.
Aunt nodded: "That's better."
Ju An listened and said to his aunt: "What will be the consequences if this is caught?" ”。
"Fine, and then squat for more than ten days to eat in prison, everyone will also help the arrested sell goods to minimize some losses" The aunt said to Ju An, and then turned around and left.
Now that the stall is back in the stall, Ju An continued to squat down to look, and before he could hold the necklace in his hand, he heard a shout not far away: "The police are coming, the police are coming!" ”。
As soon as I turned my face, I saw a vendor more than 20 meters away being thrown to the ground by the police, and his mouth was still shouting: "The police are coming!" ”。 Chinese resounded through the streets, and some police officers came out of the small boxes in ambush and chased the hawkers.
The female vendor immediately closed the box, and ran towards the alley with her daughter, Ju An forgot to come back with the necklace in her hand, Ju An watched the two policemen chasing after her, the female vendor pulled her daughter with one hand and a big box in the other, it was estimated that it would not take long to be caught, Ju An immediately stood up, ran two steps to the side of the vendor, picked up the girl from the ground, and took the box with one hand: "I'll take it!" You ran with me to a safe place, which I am not familiar with here".
The female peddler nodded, running quickly, Ju'an's physical strength, carrying a box, and holding a child in her arms were much faster than the police. After running for nearly two or three hundred meters with all her might, the female vendor ran into an old apartment building with Ju An, pointed to the fire ladder and said, "It's good to hide from above, my friend's house."
Ju An put down the box and pulled the fire ladder down with a jump, rubbed it a few times and went up, put the box and the girl in the house, stretched out his hand to the female vendor, and pulled the female vendor up half-pulled and half-lifted. (To be continued.) )
