Chapter 210: City-wide Plan
New York, the largest city in the United States, is also the most populous city.
As of this year, New York City has a population of about 8.5 million, which is almost as many as the combined population of some states.
The large population represents a strong business and financial system, and the New York Stock Exchange is the second-largest exchange in the United States, having remained number one until 2000.
In the United States, the cosmopolitan city of New York has another nickname: 'Gotham City'.
Most people who like American comics should know Batman, and the 'Gotham City' where Batman lives is designed after New York.
And most of the Batman series of movies were filmed in New York City.
There are five boroughs in New York City: Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and finally Staten Island.
The Manhattan district is known as the 'Manhattan City' by Chinese people.
Many commercial areas in China are named "Manhattan", thus creating the illusion that "Manhattan" is an independent city.
Not really.
Manhattan is mainly made up of a small island, and its geography is somewhat similar to that of the Magic City, surrounded by three rivers at the same time.
Chinese
If New York is the financial center of the United States, then Manhattan is the financial center of New York!
Nearly half of the world's top 500 companies are headquartered in Manhattan, which is the area with the highest concentration of skyscrapers.
As well as what the Chinese are familiar with and often hear on TV: Broadway, Wall Street, Empire State Building. New York Times Square, Columbia University, Manhattan School of Music and other famous attractions, all in Manhattan.

John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The airport was built in 1942 and is one of the largest airports in the world. It is only about 24 kilometers away from Manhattan, New York.
In 1963, when U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, New York City renamed the airport on New Year's Eve '64 to commemorate the great president: Kennedy International Airport.
Stepping off the plane, Yang Ye was immediately attracted by the magnificent architecture of the airport.
He has flown dozens of times over the year, but this is the first time he has come to JFK Airport. So it looked a little surprised.
"It really deserves to be the first city in the world."
"Boss. Where do we go now? β
"Let's go to the hospital first."
Yang Ye found Simon's text message to check the address of Manhattan Children's Hospital, and told Simon by the way: I have arrived, go to the hospital first.
After a while, Simon replied, "Claire and I are on our way, and Claire's sister Lacey is waiting for you in the airport lobby." β
"Okay." Yang Ye replied briefly and put the phone in his pocket.
At this time, people on the same flight crowded over. The contact information of Yang Ye has been requested. and group photos.
Half an hour had passed since we arrived at the airport hall.
"Hi Paul!"
Just walked through security. Yang Ye heard a crisp shout. He turned his head to see a young woman beckoning.
Claire's sister Lacey waved excitedly to Yang Ye, followed by a teenage boy. It's also a look of excitement.
"Hurry up and keep up with James."
"Hello, you're Ms. Claire's sister, aren't you?"
Yang Ye looked at the mother and son in front of him with a smile: "This is our company's executive president Li Lingyu, this is Wang Yan'......"
"Hello, hello ......"
Lacey shook hands with everyone one by one, and then pulled his son to introduce: "This is my son James, he heard that you are coming, and he specially asked for a day off." β
"Oh dear, you must make up for your homework when you go back, or I'll be grounded for a week."
"Good, good, good mom."
James perfectly inherited the advantages of his mother, blonde hair and blue eyes, handsome facial features, but a little stuttering when he spoke.
His is called Tourette's syndrome, also known as Tolei's syndrome.
The main manifestations of the disease are: involuntary hyperactivity, facial twitching, repetitive speech, stammering, strange screaming and other phenomena.
The actor in the famous movie "Call Me No. 1" is a patient with this disease.
This disease affects all ages, and at least 1 million patients worldwide every year carry it for life.
On the bright side, it has no effect on his health, but he seems to be a little repetitive and 'obscene' when he speaks, and he must be patient if he wants to be his friend.
"Hello Paul, I'm James, my name is James, I like you very much, I want to be a scientist like you. Cruel! β
"I'm sorry, but my son is a Tourette patient, he speaks...... I hope you can treat him as a normal person. Lacey added quietly.
"I see."
Yang Ye instantly understood the reason for James' stuttering, and he high-fived James with a smile: "Then you have to work hard, because I'm a madman." β
"Hehehe......" Hearing Yang Ye's self-deprecation, James had inexplicable empathy, which made him like Yang Ye even more.
"Let's go, let's surprise the little girl, by the way, James, whose song do you like to listen to?"
"You, your, your song "What a Wonderful World" I like very much......"
"Really? I found that you have a talent for repetitive speech, and have you ever wanted to be a tongue twister, like Eminem? β
"Can I do it? I can't even speak......"
"Haha, this is a talented man! You listen: cool, cool, I'm James, I'm James, I'm me, cool cool ......"
"Ah! That's cool Paul ......"
"You're supposed to be better than me, don't you think I'm imitating you? Come on guys, tonight's party needs you to join! β
In less than two sentences, Yang Ye and James became friends.
Looking at the two of them hooking shoulders, Lacey and Infinite Dream couldn't help but smile.
"Is this the power of dreamers?"
β¦β¦
Children's Hospital of Manhattan.
"Hey, shit! Bichi! β
Outside the hospital gate, New York Times reporter Anthony angrily gave her middle finger to her CNN counterparts on the side.
To be exact, she's just an intern journalist. And the beautiful lady opposite is a well-known news sister in the industry.
Claimed: 'Wetland Rose' or 'News Hollow'
She and Anthony were the first people to receive the message of Yang Ye's visit to the hospital.
In order to be the first to interview Yang Ye, the two daughters tried their best to squeeze each other out, hoping to drive each other away.
But it didn't take long for them to realize that their 'informant' didn't seem to tell them the exact time. Paul Young may not come, or he may come late......
"Are you going to make me wait here for a day?"
Thinking of this, Anthony glared at her female counterpart, took out her phone and dialed the phone of a district councilor.
At this moment, two Lincoln business vehicles stopped outside the door, and Yang Ye and others came out of the cars one after another.
"It's Paul! Keep up! β
"Damn it!"
"Hello? Anthony, what are you talking about? β
"Oooh. Thank you. Get back in touch. β
Anthony looked at the 'Wetland Rose' that was already walking in front of her, but calmed down, she tidied up her clothes, and stood in place staring at Yang Ye.
"Thanks, if you have time in the evening. You are welcome to come to the party. β
"Yes Mr. Paul. I'll definitely be there! β
βYES!ββ Lady Wetland' clenched her fists excitedly. She was now wondering: Will something happen to Yang Ye at night?
However, this thought quickly turned into a stunned one, and she looked blankly ahead: "Niang's green tea." She actually went in with Paul! β
"Hello, are you here for an interview too?" Yang Ye saw that Anthony had been staring at him, and stepped forward and handed out his right hand.
"Yes, yes." Anthony said nervously: "I'm Anthony, no, I'm a New York Times reporter......"
"I'm sorry, I'm too nervous."
"Hehe......"
Everyone chuckled, and Yang Ye said with a smile: "It's okay, do you want to go in and have a look together." β
"Yes, it's a pleasure."
Anthony nodded hurriedly, and did not forget to give her middle finger to the 'Wetland Lady' behind her as she left.
β¦β¦
"Are you Paul? Hi Bobby, come and see the big mantis ......"
"Hahaha......"
As soon as he walked into the hospital, Yang Ye was recognized by a medical staff, and his humorous way of greeting caused everyone to laugh, and soon the hospital hall was filled with people.
Except for some medical staff, most of them are family members and sick children, after all, those angels in white still have a lot to do.
"Hello Paul......"
"Hello, hello ......"
Yang Ye hugged and shook hands with everyone one by one, he looked at everyone and smiled: "If there are children who need treatment, don't treat them by mistake." "Don't worry, I won't be able to leave for a while, and I'll have to go to Ellie's party in the evening."
"Wow!"
"Say Paul!"
"Do you want to see the plane I designed? It's cool! β
The children cheered excitedly.
At this time, the Blanches and their little Ellie walked briskly.
After learning that Yang Ye had arrived, Xiao Aili specially changed into her most beautiful clothes, and the whole person was as beautiful as an angel.
"Paul, I'm Blank."
"I'm Bates. Thank you for taking the time to visit my little girl, it is a great honor. You...... You're so nice. β
"Don't say that."
Under Yang Ye's hint, Wang Yan handed over a tissue.
He looked at Mr. and Mrs. Blanc seriously and said, "I'm sorry for being late. β
As he spoke, he lowered his head and smiled at Little Ellie: "No matter how many songs the little angel wants to listen to today, I will sing to you." But you're going to give me a list. β
"Really?"
Little Ellie said happily: "Then I have to think about it, by the way, Mr. Paul, can I invite many people to listen?" β
"Of course."
Yang Ye said with a smile: "This party is for you, you are the leader......"
"Let's start planning. Oh yes, it's almost noon now, are you hungry? β
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, after lunch, Wang Yan and other ladies accompanied Aili to play in the ward, and Yang Ye discussed the location of the party and the 'city-wide plan' with Blanc and Simon, who arrived at the meeting.
After deliberation, the party was decided to be held at the Children's Hospital.
The first is because it has a sufficiently large 'children's park', and the second is the peculiarity of the hospital.
Through the party, we can better publicize children's diseases, make people pay attention to children's health, and care for children's growth.
As for the so-called 'city-wide plan', it is to mobilize the masses to donate through the city's media publicity.
Starting at 2 p.m. and ending at 6 p.m., all proceeds will be used for the treatment of children.
In addition, 3,000 people will be randomly selected to attend the party.
Activities are limited to New York City only.
