Chapter 12 In New York

The three of them had just finished breakfast at the hotel, exactly nine o'clock, Rachel also arrived at the hotel, and Su Zhen and her made an appointment to meet at nine o'clock yesterday.

Accompanied by Rachel, the group began their journey in Manhattan

At Rachel's invitation, several people first visited the headquarters of Citigroup located on Park Avenue, Citibank, as a veteran bank in the United States after World War II, with its strong financial backing, rapidly expanded to various industries, forming a Citigroup with banks as the core, its total assets have exceeded several old consortiums, and quickly entered the ranks of the top ten consortia in the United States, followed by the Rockefeller Consortium and the Morgan Consortium, listening to Rachel introduce the glorious history of Citi on the side. Su Zhen set a goal for himself in his heart, to become a shareholder of Citigroup within ten years.

If this was in his previous life, Su Zhen would not dare to think of it, after all, Citibank, as the No. 1 financial bank in the United States, has a market value of more than an astonishing $1 trillion, that is, a trillion ordinary billionaires can say nothing in front of this behemoth. But Su Zhen secretly laughed, or he would have this capital in a few years, and even when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in the future, he could completely squeeze out the US government and become the major shareholder of Citibank.

At this time, several major shareholders who were holding a meeting within Citigroup couldn't help but feel cold on their vests, and secretly sighed that the weather was starting to get cooler, and they didn't know that the shares in their hands had been remembered.

After visiting Citigroup's headquarters, the group visited the United Nations headquarters and the famous Wall Street, and then the time pointed to noon.

A few people had lunch at a famous local restaurant. The three women came to the famous Fifth Avenue and began to shop, when they first saw the price of expensive goods, Liu Ru and Liu Shihua couldn't let go, but under the guidance of Rachel and Su Zhen, they soon immersed themselves in all kinds of fashion goods, LV bags, Chanel perfumes, Gucci clothes and luxury goods of various brands were packed into bags.

After the last Su Zhen was helpless, he called the hotel and asked the hotel to arrange a car to send the things purchased by the girls back to the hotel, looking at the luxury goods that could be buried in the car in just a few hours, Su Zhen sighed, and couldn't help but wonder if his decision to let his mother and sister go shopping was wrong.

After shopping for a whole afternoon, Su Zhen felt that he was almost tired and lay down, looking at the three women who were still full of interest, he couldn't help but sigh that women are magical animals, they are usually delicate, and their endurance when shopping is afraid that professional long-distance runners will be ashamed of themselves. Finally, under the unbearable strong protest of Su Zhen, Liu Ru, who felt sorry for her son, took the lead in compromising.

In the evening, after a rich dinner at the famous Plaza Hotel, a few people came to the last stop of the day.

Located in the lower city of Manhattan at the southern end of Manhattan, Chinatown is only a stone's throw away from the New York City Hall, close to Wall Street, and only a stone's throw away from the famous Broadway, in fact, the current Chinatown is no longer a Chinese street in the early days, after several generations of Chinese efforts, today's Chinatown contains more than 40 main streets, covering an area of more than 4 square kilometers. It has become a city within a city, so it's no wonder it's called Chinatown.

The three walked in Chinatown, looking at the Chinese traditional Chinese signs all over the street, listening to the Cantonese cries of street vendors, and the large number of Chinese restaurants on both sides of the street. If it weren't for the large number of people of all races suggesting that this was the United States, Su Zhen would almost have doubted whether he had arrived in Hong Kong.

After some fun and experiencing the American Chinese flavor, the group returned to the hotel.

After washing away the exhaustion, Su Zhen stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel room, overlooking the brightly lit and bustling Manhattan streetscape, and a different kind of satisfaction and strong self-confidence rose in his heart.

But when Su Zhen took yesterday's bill from the trembling Rachel the next day, his whole face was dark, and the satisfaction and confidence in his heart were all thrown out of the clouds, and the otaku thoughts in his bones began to haunt him again, and he began to calculate how much milk tea of a certain brand could be bought with so much money, which was enough to circle the earth a few tenths of a time, Liu Ru was also distressed there, and kept muttering, "I don't feel like I bought much things, why did I spend so much" At the moment, Su Zhen's face became even darker, my mother, There's not much in a whole cart of costume jewelry and cosmetics, so you have to have a big heart.

590,000 US dollars, this is yesterday's daily consumption, 90% of which comes from Liu Ru and Liu Shihua's shopping, Su Zhen silently mourned the transformation of his mother and Liu Shihua to a shopaholic, while thinking in his heart how to make more money, now the two women are like this, what can they do in the future, and the money doesn't seem to be so enough at the moment.

In the afternoon, the three of them went to the immigration office together accompanied by Rachel, and Rachel showed Liu Ru's asset certificate to the immigration officer, and then muttered to the Star-Spangled Banner for a few minutes under the instructions of the immigration officer.

In the next few days, Su Zhen arranged for Rachel to accompany Liu Ru and Liu Shihua to apply for a written test for a driver's license. It is also more troublesome to get a driver's license in the United States, if you have not learned to drive, you have to take a written test as in China, and you can get a one-year learning driver's license after the written test.

Liu Ru and Liu Shihua naturally have never learned to drive, so the current goal is to take a written test.

Su Zhen, on the other hand, made an appointment with a large real estate brokerage firm in New York through Citibank, ready to choose the ranch he wanted to buy. This afternoon, Paul, the agent of this real estate brokerage company, came to meet with Su Zhen at the time of making an appointment, and the real estate economist in his thirties did not feel despised at all because he was facing an eight-year-old child, but was very dedicated to Su Zhen to introduce more than 30 ranches of all sizes, ranging from hundreds of acres to more than 100,000 acres, Su Zhen carefully selected four ranches, one in Montana more than 8,000 acres, one in Texas more than 10,000 acres, and one in Minnesota more than 10,000 acres, one in Illinois has more than 20,000 acres.

Except for Texas, the ranch is in the southern United States, and the other three are in the north. So Su Zhen decided to go to the farthest Texas first, but as soon as he got off the plane, Su Zhen put Texas on the blacklist, it was too hot.

After that, I went to three other states, although the environment of Montana is good, there is no lake in that ranch, PASS; Minnesota is PASS, because the weather is too extreme. After that, I chose Illinois.

This ranch is located in northeastern Illinois, which may not be well-known in Illinois in China, and most Chinese have not heard of this state, but one city in this state is very famous in China: Chicago.

Illinois is an important agricultural state in the United States, 80% of its land is agricultural and pasture, and the climate is mild, with an average temperature of about minus 6 degrees Celsius in winter and a maximum of 20 degrees in summer. This made Su Zhen like it very much.

Su Zhen accompanied by Paul to this ranch, this farm is less than 1 hour's drive from the airport, in fact, there are many small airports in the United States, in the United States airplanes have become the same common means of transportation as buses, and here to take a plane to Chicago does not even need an hour, very convenient.

A few kilometers away from this ranch is a small town with an interesting name, Harvard, which bears the same name as Harvard University in Massachusetts. Later, when Liu Ru first learned about this place and asked if Harvard University was here, Su Zhen held his stomach and laughed for a long time, and finally explained under Liu Ru's murderous gaze.

The environment of this ranch is good, there are mountains and lakes and the terrain is very gentle, the original owner called it the lion ranch, the main house is located on a small hill more than ten meters high, and at the foot of the mountain are workers' houses, warehouses and stables and other buildings.

After that, it was time to negotiate the price, and finally negotiated to buy the more than 23,000 acres of ranch for 24 million.

Because Liu Ru needed to sign, he made an appointment with the other party to sign a contract at Harvard two days later, and at the same time, Su Zhen spent 800,000 a year from the most famous law firm in Chicago to hire a private legal counsel, and Liu Ru will arrive tomorrow, as long as Liu Ru finishes signing, this ranch will become their new home.
