Li Kangping drove away from Morning Heights and headed for Manhattan's business district.

Jennifer asked: "I don't know much about cars, but I guess the price of your car shouldn't be cheap, right?" ”

"It's not too expensive."

"No matter how cheap it is, it will cost hundreds of dollars!"

Li Kangping drove to a movie theater in Manhattan's business district, parked the car, and got off.

Opposite the cinema stands a tower gate and a building of palm trees, which is the memorial to the fallen heroes.

Every time Li Kangping and Jennifer visit the busiest part of Manhattan, they can always see the parade.

In front of the Memorial Hall for the Fallen Heroes, a group of people wrapped in white turbans and white robes are marching.

A tall man in a white scarf and a white robe roared feverishly: "To unite all the white adult men and native non-Jews of the United States, for an exemplary role that can perform good deeds!" To protect the holiness of the family and the purity of women! For the idealism of the pure American spirit! Burn, burn, evil perishes in the flames, and we live forever in the flames! White supremacy! ”

"White supremacy!"

"For America!"

The rest of the white-robed men held up blood-colored crosses and blazing torches to show that they were not joking.

"They're coming to New York? Does the New York government care? Li Kangping stared coldly at the group of white people marching not far away.

"Don't provoke these people, the farther away from them, the better." Jennifer looked nervous and dragged Li Kangping to the cinema.

"Zhan ......"

"Get in, don't be verbose, don't stare at them!"

Jennifer was much more relaxed after entering the cinema, she said: "As we all know, the United States is a free democracy, and they have the right to say anything anywhere in the United States. ”

Li Kangping closed his mouth in surprise: "Your government gives the white flag the right to freedom and democracy, but at the same time does not allow the red flag to be hoisted, why is this?" ”

Jennifer spread her hands and said, "How do I know, I'm not a member of Congress!" ”

"Washington's policy is really puzzling."

"Lee, can you please not be like this, why do we have to talk about politics every time we come out to play!"

"Jennifer, we live in this age of roaring, we have nowhere to hide!"

"Li, aren't you determined to study physics? Isn't it good for you to be a physicist in peace? I'm here to watch a movie with a future physicist, not a Democrat, a Republican, or whatever! Jennifer trembled with excitement, and even a little aggrieved.

"This damn politics!" Jennifer cursed.

Li Kangping, who gradually calmed down, apologized: "Jennifer, I know you are good for me, and I apologize for my rude attitude." It's time, let's get into the screening room, my lady. ”

If you're looking for joy, look no further than Chaplin.

In the era of silent films, laughter comes from the audience.

Jennifer laughed heartily, and she laughed until her face was uncomfortable, which shows how happy she was. Chaplin's funny skills can also be seen.

Li Kangping occasionally smiled and faked.

He wondered in his heart, how many years were sound films and color films born?

"You're absent-minded." At the dinner table after the movie, Jennifer said.

"yes, no?" Li Kangping cut off a piece of steak and put it in his mouth with a fork.

Jennifer did the same knife and fork movement, she said: "A female college student has a little IQ, you can't fool me, you are just absent-minded, you are still thinking about what happened just now." ”

"I didn't really think about that, I was thinking about technology."

"Technology?"

"Science and technology."

"Science and technology?"

"Oh, the music is on, let's do a dance, Jennifer."

The five-piece band in the dining room began to play, and ladies and gentlemen stepped onto the dance floor.

Li Kangping invited Jennifer to dance, and Jennifer, who was 5 feet 8 inches, arrived at the root of Li Kangping's ear.

Li Kangping's breath was blown on Jennifer's forehead, and he changed from one dance step to another with agility and precision, and Jennifer quickly and accurately followed the beat.

"You're dancing so well!"

"So are you."

Li Kangping and Jennifer complimented each other, and a good dance partner would make each other happy.

At this beautiful moment, a few discordant words came to Li Kangping's ears.

"John, look, that white lady is dancing with people of color."

"Yes, he's a good jumper."

"John, do you understand the point of my remark? Miss White, Colored! ”

"This is New York, the heart of capitalism in the world, and in this city, money can solve what God can't solve."

"John, this is a matter of moral bottom line!"

"Look at the caress party, look at the ubiquitous S-E-X deals, look at me as a Catholic, I'm a Catholic and divorced, so why are you talking to me about the bottom line? Aren't you supposed to burn me? But you're dancing with me. Helen, don't talk to me about these boring topics, what you want to do is have fun, OK? ”

John ...... Hey, what kind of world is this! ”

Li Kangping looked at the pair of men and women, am I hearing too well, or are you two too loud? From this point of view, even if the white-robed people do not advocate the extremist ideology of white supremacy, the white people in the United States, especially the white Protestants of Anglo-Saxon descent, have a deeper or lower sense of superiority.

The next day, Li Kangping received a telegram from China.

"Dumping of Japanese goods, difficult business, shortage of funds, inconvenient turnover, my son Kangping, should be thrifty, focus on study, and do it for himself. Father Li Shanlin. ”

Li Kangping's heart tightened, his father didn't give money?

If you can't give 5,000 dollars, you can give 500.

Not giving a penny shows that the family's finances are extremely tight.

Li Kangping wished that his father would make the business bigger and stronger, and a few years later, Lao Tzu's assets were inherited by his own son, which was justified.

"Japanese dumping? Having a hard time doing business? ”

Li Kangping's mood is very heavy, and from any point of view, he hopes that the career of the Li family in Guangzhou can get out of the predicament as soon as possible and regroup.

Tuition and accommodation are paid by the foundation, and under normal circumstances, $4,300 is enough for an official-funded student to live in New York for at least three years.

Li Kangping bought this and that, was busy communicating, and spent $2,000 in just a few months, and he only had $2,300 left in his hand.

Ordinary people will save money and slowly consume the $2,300 for as long as they can last. Li Kangping is not an ordinary person, his first thought is to use the $2,300 to make money.

Li Kangping drove to Lower Manhattan and came to Broad Street.

The price of a seat on the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street is 60,000~120,000 US dollars, and Li Kangping simply cannot afford to buy a seat.

The majority of investors choose to trade over-the-counter, and the over-the-counter securities market is located on Broad Street.

Broad Street stockbrokers, with telephone receivers in their hands, poked their heads out of the windows of their buildings, and communicated with the stockholders crowded on the street below through shouting, facial expressions and gestures in the midst of a cacophony.

"Hey, dude, are you sure you want to buy 100 shares of General Motors?"

"Yes sir, please hurry!"

"General Motors, 102!"

"Oh God! Yesterday it was 99 only! ”

"Do you buy it or not? I'm too busy to spend time with you! ”

"Buy!"

If you don't get into a desperate situation, who the would dare to speculate in stocks?

Li Kangping shook a wad of thick dollars, he raised his head and shouted: "Sir, I'll buy 100 shares of AT&T!" ”

The stockbroker on the second floor quoted the stock price: "AT&T, 21!" ”

Li Kangping replied decisively: "Buy!" Right now! ”

After a while, a white man in a black suit came to Li Kangping and said, "Counting the handling fee, it's a total of 2,115 US dollars." ”

Li Kangping paid the money in full, and the white man gave him a receipt saying that he would come here tomorrow in exchange for an equity certificate.
