****************

originally thought that he was a multimillionaire anyway, but after a few days of real estate advertisements, Jin Muchen immediately felt bad.

I had only heard that the housing prices in Manhattan were expensive, but I hadn't learned about it carefully, after all, he was just a poor sling at that time, and he hadn't thought about a house in a place like Manhattan at all.

At that time, I was just thinking that after graduation, I could find a job in New York, just look for it in New York, and if I couldn't find it, I would change places.

Moreover, the development of the United States is relatively balanced, unlike China, the best resources are concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and in addition to New York and Los Angeles, there are many small and medium-sized cities in the United States that are also developing well.

Many century-old stores in the United States are located in those small and medium-sized cities, and not all of them are concentrated in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles.

But now that he has two dollars in his hand and wants to settle down in Manhattan, Jin Muchen realized that the money in his hand is actually nothing.

Considering the bad traffic in Manhattan, he wanted to buy the kind of house that integrates business and residence, so that he doesn't have to rush to open a store every day, but after looking around, the only feeling is that more than 10 million dollars looks like a lot, but in this place in Manhattan, it is not enough to see at all.

On the tall Uptown # district, then you don't have to think about it at all, where is a random house of more than 100 square meters, and the starting point is generally 6 million US dollars.

And like in China, most of these houses are apartments in high-rise buildings, in a place like Shangcheng City, where there are many high-rise buildings, if you want to buy an apartment in a high-rise building with good lighting, then basically below 30 floors, you don't have to think about it, you can only buy high-rise ones, and the higher the floor, the higher the house price.

By the time you find out that the house you like, the floor and the house price are basically more than 10 million dollars, and the money in his hand is not enough to see in front of those houses.

Shangcheng District will not be considered, then go to see Zhongcheng District, but a place like Zhongcheng is basically a commercial area, and there are more commercial properties, even if there are people who can live, they are basically some old buildings that are relatively old, and the ground floor of these old buildings is generally a night market, a dance hall and a place where dragons and snakes are mixed.

Unless you want to sleep with rock and roll and noisy pies every day, normal people don't choose to make their home here.

The places next to Midtown and Downtown can still live in, but that place is damn Harlem, and Little Italy, these two hell places, one is the black ghetto on the same level as Brooklyn, and the most unsafe area in the whole of Manhattan.

The other is the birthplace of the famous Italian gangsters, although the Italian gangs here have gradually declined over the years, but the people who live here still do not have much sense of security, one is that from time to time there are black brothers in Harlem who come to fight the autumn breeze.

Second, because those Italians are dead and not stiff, if you want to do business here, you will definitely face the problem of someone coming to collect protection money.

So after touching around, in the end, Jin Muchen could only focus on the lower city, especially the area of SOHO!

It's a pity that after taking a look at the housing prices here, Jin Muchen can only sigh, who said that the housing prices in the United States are cheap? If you stand up, Lao Tzu promises not to kill you!

In the early years, this part of the downtown area was an industrial area, but with the adjustment of the American industry, the large and small factories here basically went bankrupt and closed down, and then after the New Drifters made this area into the Soho area, because they liked the architectural style here, those wealthy European immigrants flocked in.

The land price here has also risen rapidly, and those old factories that were originally vacant have basically been speculated to sky-high prices, and even so, there are few vacant ones.

In recent years, with the recovery of the U.S. economy, some large real estate companies have also set their sights on here, and they have bought those old factories in a big way, and then developed them from scratch, transforming these factories into beautiful and fashionable new apartment buildings.

And the housing prices of these apartment buildings are not cheap, Jin Muchen casually looked at a few on the Internet, a small apartment of more than 90 square meters, two bedrooms and two living rooms, and dared to ask for a price of more than 2 million yuan and nearly 3 million US dollars.

What's more, if you look at the rules of dividing housing prices by region like Beijing, why are you so expensive in this place, which is already outside the third ring road?

Aren't you trying to argue with the housing prices of my Great Heavenly Empire?

And these houses, Jin Muchen also probably looked at the pictures on the Internet, and felt very bad at first glance, although these apartment buildings looked beautiful and fashionable from the outside, but as soon as he looked at his location, Jin Muchen's heart was gloomy.

Because this SOHO area used to be an industrial area and there were no residents, there was no consideration for comfort when the buildings here were designed and constructed.

In order to make the most of the land, the streets here were originally designed to be narrow, and most of them were two-lane, so the buildings were closely spaced.

Although the floors are not high, generally four or five floors, the low-rise lighting of these buildings is not particularly good.

And those newly renovated apartments, because of the consideration of American law, are not particularly high, but even so, the lighting is still not particularly good.

Even if you spend a lot of money to buy their house, it is very likely that it is the kind of house that only has a master bedroom or living room to see the light, and such a house will cost millions of dollars, how does Jin Muchen think it is not cost-effective.

It seems that there is still not enough money, and if there is enough money, these problems are not a problem at all.

Jin Muchen closed the notebook fiercely, and then pinched his eyebrows, he has been staring at the webpages of those real estate companies and agency companies in Manhattan for the past few days, but he either feels that the house is not good, or he feels that his pockets are too shallow.

It's really more and more depressed, I thought it would be done soon, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome now.

This time, he bought a house, mainly because he wanted to buy a house that was a combination of business and residence, and given the traffic in Manhattan, he didn't want to buy the house and his antique store in two places.

Moreover, Manhattan's antique shops are generally concentrated in Chambers Street, Canal Street, and a small area separated by 14th and 15th Streets in the Soho district.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise downstairs, and Jin Muchen came downstairs to take a look, and it turned out to be Uncle Fang standing in front of the counter, greeting Wang Xueming.

When Wang Xueming saw him coming down, he raised the wine bottle in his hand with a smile and raised it.

"Why, didn't Mr. Wang return to China?"

"Haha, don't worry, anyway, I was busy with some trivial things a year ago, and now I'm not in a hurry to go back, I plan to stay here for a few days. No, I'm here to thank you both. I ordered takeout and delivery at the Chinese restaurant over there, and later, they will deliver the food over, let's have a meal together! ”

Wang Xueming said to Jin Muchen with a smile, and Uncle Fang on the other side had no intention of refusing.

It turned out that after Wang Xueming went back in the past few days, he had a few sincere talks with Professor Yang and Teacher Hou, not only in terms of antiques, but also the two masters gave him a lot of construction.

And he thinks that the most useful thing about these buildings is to make more friends, especially friends like Fang Bo and Jin Muchen, this opinion is the most pertinent.

Wang Xueming is a veteran in the business field, but it has only developed slowly in the past 20 years, and it was a small fight at the beginning, but especially when the people of their family entered a fairly high political position, his business began to develop by leaps and bounds.

It was during this time that he realized the importance of making friends.

He didn't play antiques for a long time, and he entered this circle relatively late, so it can be said that he didn't catch up with the golden time during the outbreak of the domestic antique industry a few years ago, and missed a lot of good things.

In recent years, he had money in his hands, but when he entered the market, he found that the market had changed.

Good things have been hyped up to sky-high prices, or they have been collected by other famous people, even if he wants to get a few pieces to play with himself, there is no good opportunity.

Paying a high price to buy it, he was unwilling to be the wrongdoer, so he shifted his attention overseas, especially the United States.

In the past few years, although he has also obtained some antiques in the United States, most of them are ordinary goods, until he met Fang Bo and Jin Muchen, his luck in Taobao in the United States suddenly improved.

So after that day, he decided in his heart that these two men were capable people, and they must be well encircled, which is why today's sudden visit is possible.

How could Uncle Fang and Jin Muchen not understand what he meant by this big boss? And the two of them also wanted to befriend Wang Xueming, a high-roller, so they didn't refuse Wang Xueming's suggestion.

Soon the restaurant delivered food, and several people were in the restaurant on the second floor of Uncle Fang's house, pushing the cups and changing the lamps.

Both sides were interested in making friends, so they quickly became acquainted, and soon began to call each other brother and brother.

"Uncle Fang, Xiao Jin, you two, I really admire you, you are much better than those guys who sell their reputations. I haven't been in the antiques circle for a long time, but I have seen a lot of people, some of them are very famous, but in fact, they are all blown, and they don't necessarily have any real skills, but the two of you are different. I've been here in the United States several times, but my biggest takeaway is not those treasures, but getting to know you two friends. ”
