Wulin Chinese Network, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the rise of the prosperous world of rebirth!

Chen Bo then took a paper bag and said, "I heard that you don't have the habit of eating breakfast, which is not good." This is your favorite for you, In-N-Out Burger."

"Wow, thank you so much, I'm a little hungry."

Hoffman eagerly took it, tore open the oiled paper package on the outside, opened his mouth and bit down most of the hamburger, at the same time, he only felt the pungent breath in the burger rush through his mouth to his nose, and tears of remorse could not help but fall from his eyes.

"Oh God, what have you done!" Hofmann, who had enjoyed a delicious mustard feast, began to wail.

"Happy April Fool's Day, it's American, isn't it?" After Chen Bo smiled and leaned back, he hurriedly handed over a glass of water, and Hoffman retracted like a frightened bird before he could reach out his hand and touch the cup.

"This is really water, why don't I take a sip and show you?"

"Well, believe you, I hate America to death now!" Hoffman took it and drank it all, and sure enough, it was pure water, and the mustard taste in his mouth finally dissipated a lot.

Chen Bo still understands the principle of stopping in moderation, jokes must not be overdone, if there are traps everywhere, then there will be no friends in the future.

"But it's time for you to lose weight, the extra fat will kill you." Chen Bo finally gave him a kind reminder that Coke, hamburgers, fried chicken, and French fries are the fat uncle's favorites, and he doesn't want Hoffman to repeat the mistakes of Jobs and Yamauchi.

Taking advantage of this period of time when the company was making internal optimization adjustments and there were no major variables, Chen Bo took Gao Yuanyuan and Depp to Los Angeles on his special Gulfstream business jet over the weekend, ready to experience the charm of the Oscar statuette.

San Francisco and Los Angeles, two large cities in California on the west coast of the United States, are also often compared to districts. This is a bit like a life-and-death battle between some provinces in China, between the provincial capital city and the sub-provincial capital city, and the map cannon is not only played by Chinese people.

San Francisco is a typical cool summer, even in July and August, the average temperature is below 22 degrees Celsius, but March and April are much warmer, and the year round is humid, and the dryer is a must-have for all seasons.

Los Angeles is closer to the southern desert and is surrounded by heavy mountains, which obviously can heat up like a dog in the summer. San Francisco, on the other hand, is a long and narrow peninsula with a wide sea area, but it is impossible to swim, and ordinary people basically can't last more than 3 minutes, except for those who practice winter swimming.

San Francisco is a small city with many skyscrapers, and is known as a small metropolis. Los Angeles has a large urban area, but it is all low houses, known as the big countryside.

If you want to start a business, you can go to Silicon Valley, which has also created a large number of rich people there and engineers crawling all over the ground. Los Angeles is a colorful and lively port city, and the prices are much lower than San Francisco, which is not only the most glamorous Vanity Fair, but also has a slum area inhabited by blacks, Mexicans, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc.

The Chinese in San Francisco are the old Chinese left over from that humiliating history, mainly Lingnan and Hokkien. In Los Angeles, there are many new overseas Chinese attracted by the export of American film culture, and even the University of California, Los Angeles is complained about being an Asian university because there are too many Chinese students.

As for wanting to immigrate, and you are still struggling with which city to choose, then you can take what you need.

The group had just arrived in Los Angeles, and when they checked in at the hotel, they met an acquaintance from China.

"You don't want to stay in the country, why are you here?" Chen Bo caught Gao Xiaosong in the lobby, grabbed his black and thick hair, and asked.

"You don't understand, February and March are the American awards season, the Super Bowl, the Grammys, the Golden Globes, and the Oscars, I've seen them all the way, this is the last stop, anyway, you know better than me about the situation in China, and I'm idle It's better to come out and find inspiration."

Gao Xiaosong waved a paper fan in his hand, pretending to be elegant.

"You're just out lazy, but I'm curious how it was so coincidental that we stayed in the same hotel, and how could there be a sense of conspiracy in the air?" Chen Bocai would not believe that there was such a coincidence, and sniffed with his nose.

"Guess!" Gao Xiaosong said mysteriously.

I guess you're a sister! Chen Bo glanced around and didn't see any familiar faces, and after carefully reviewing the whole process, he realized that it was not the two of them, but the person who booked the hotel.

This hotel was arranged by Depp to arrange a wholly-owned holding of Summit Entertainment, and the current assistant to the president of Summit is Li Xueer, and it is normal for Gao Xiaosong to come to Los Angeles to walk the line of acquaintances, thinking of this, the relationship has been straightened out.

"Oh, handsome guys and beautiful women, I miss you to death."

Chen Bo knew when he heard this voice that it was Ning Hao's cheeky boy, so he would joke like this, and when he looked back, he saw that not only him but also Li Xue'er was here.

"Now that everyone is together, if the domestic media sees it, they may think that Galaxy Pictures is preparing to rush to the Olympics." Of course, it is a very happy thing to meet old acquaintances in other places, especially the relationship between friends and subordinates.

"You're wrong, Galaxy Pictures is really rushing to the Olympics, but it's the best foreign language film." Li Xueer smiled, "The hero crew also lives here, do you want to go and say hello?" ”

"Is Ma Rongcheng here?"

"No, there are some things he can't leave."

"Oh, then don't go. I don't have any acquaintances anyway! Chen Bo has only dealt with the original creator, and he doesn't know anyone else, although they are all big stars, he doesn't have any interest in getting acquainted. Entertainment was originally a side hustle for him, and now he doesn't need to take care of it, let alone bother with resources, Galaxy Entertainment, which is already on the right track, as long as it can contribute to the release of copyright at a critical moment, it is not meaningful to admit it or not.

"We're all together, Jeffrey has a charity party in the evening, how about going around together to see the corrupt life of the capitalist upper class?" Chen Bo proposed.

"Go ahead, I haven't seen Cher for a long time, and I want to go to Los Angeles." Gao Yuanyuan, who was standing on the side and had been whispering to Li Xueer for a long time, said at this moment.

"It's okay, pay attention to safety, and take the assistant with you."

Chen Bo knew that she didn't like this kind of occasion very much, and the language barrier was also a problem, since she wanted to go shopping, she would get her wish. There are Ning Hao and Gao Xiaosong, as well as Depp, the reason why he has to go to this party is that on the one hand, this is Jeffrey. Katzenberg's second invitation is not easy to refuse, in fact, he does want to see it.

The United States has three of the most influential elites, one is loved-hated and widely criticized as the notorious Wall Street, which is a paradise for financial capital carnival and influences the trend of the global economy. The second is Silicon Valley, which stands in front of the wave of science and technology, since World War II, there have been many miracles here, and the huge place will also be Chen Bo's main battlefield in the future.

The third is Hollywood in Los Angeles, the world's most well-known film industry production line, which undertakes the cultural aggression of exporting the American dream. You may not have heard of Apple, Microsoft, HP, Dell, but you must have seen and listened to Hollywood movies and music.

Even in every election, if you don't get these three camps done, it is unrealistic for you to enter the White House happily.

Throwing the simple luggage into the hotel room first, everyone then formed a team and ran to Chinatown, the people take food as the sky, and the Chinese are natural foodies, which can not be compared with any country. It's important to satisfy your appetite first, although Chen Bo's craftsmanship is good, he can't make so many colorful tricks.

And looking at the figures of Ning Hao and Gao Xiaosong, it is not necessary to explain, these two are not only foodies, but it is not an exaggeration to say that rice buckets.

There are several Chinatowns in Los Angeles, some in the satellite city of Monterey and other surrounding areas, and they go to this one north of the famous Sunset Boulevard, with Broadway as the main axis, and stretching all the way to Bernard Street, although not as well-known as the Chinatowns of New York and San Francisco, but it is one of the oldest Chinatowns in Europe and the United States.

The distinctive old-fashioned building signs, the strong sense of the sixties and seventies, as if entering the Hong Kong-style style only seen in movies, the familiar Chinese signboards, and the strong rural accent make people feel more intimate.

Seeing a Sichuan restaurant with a large storefront, Chen Bo raised his leg and wanted to go inside, but was stopped by Ning Hao's arrow step.

"This shop is opened by Vietnamese, and it is all for old beauties and tourists, so you can't go."

"Vietnamese people go to Chinese territory to open shops?" Chen Bo was surprised.

"It's a lot more complicated here, I'll talk to you later." Ning Hao said that he walked ahead, and led everyone to find a place where the location was not very conspicuous but antique, and when he smelled it, he knew that the craftsmanship of this store was good and authentic.

asked for a small private room, and asked the store to serve some specialty dishes, and as soon as everyone sat down, Gao Xiaosong shouted at Ning Hao with his throat pulled, "Don't sell Guanzi, I'm waiting for you to tell the story." ”

"There are more than 800 gangs in Los Angeles, large and small, and there are several groups of mafia alone, and there are even more Asians, such as the Yue Qing Gang, the Bamboo Union Gang, the Triad and so on. Guns are legal in the United States, and it is quite normal to kill people and sell goods, and when you go to a black area, there will even be people who blatantly ask you for money. Many of the shops in Chinatown are Vietnamese, and Chinese live nearby. ”

"You made it up, right? Isn't the United States a country governed by the rule of law, and why would it allow gangsters to exist? Gao Xiaosong interrupted Ning Hao's words.

"It is precisely because it is a country governed by the rule of law that it has become the protection of gangsters. Umbrella. Unless the police catch the gang boss personally participating in the illegal process, there is no legal crime at all, and it is good to arrange someone to go to the top bag if something happens, and the well-known lawyers are almost all their guests! In China, as long as you follow the vine and touch the melon, you will be beaten, although it is a bit overkill, but it will not always endanger the order like here. ”

"It's so messy, we don't dare to go out shopping." The two women couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

"Hehe, it's all before. And it's all the surrounding suburbs, so you can walk around the city. After all, the risk of crime is high now, there is no profit, and even they are hiding and secretly making a fortune, and I haven't heard any terrible news in more than a year. ”

After talking for a long time, it turned out to be a false alarm, which was really a big gasp. At this moment, the delicious meal was already on the table, and everyone stopped talking and started talking in unison.

If you see the refreshing, you will go to the [apex.]
