Mei Xiang grabbed the phone and prepared to book a ticket to take the ship back to Shanghai, when Carotta snatched the phone from her hand and put it back on the phone.

"Meixiang, you don't have to go back to Shanghai, Hu Wenkai has already come to the United States by ship, and it's useless for you to go back. It certainly wouldn't have been Hu Wenkai's doing, he couldn't be too busy with his own domestic affairs, so as for asking about North Korea?"

Meixiang looked at Carrotta blankly, she didn't know that Hu Wenkai came to the United States.

"Oh, Meixiang, we didn't tell you, Hu Wenkai should have boarded the ship for the United States the day before yesterday. This was arranged a long time ago, and he came over to handle the company's affairs in the United States. Carrotta explained.

Carrotta didn't believe that Meixiang's return to Shanghai could play a role, if it was as she said, the Japanese would not be able to change the situation if the Japanese were murderous to Hu Wenkai, but would help more and more, so she said a white lie, anyway, Hu Wenkai also set off for Europe at this time.

Mei Xiang found that she was a little too impulsive, and she showed too much concern for Hu Wenkai in front of Carrotta, and she turned around to see Wang Changhui staring straight at her.

The scene was so embarrassing, but fortunately Carrota pulled her upstairs to try on the new clothes she had just arrived.

Two losers appeared on Fifth Avenue in New York, strolling through the boutiques one by one, followed by four or five attendants who had specially carried the items they had purchased for them.

One of New York's largest jewelry stores welcomes these two losers, dressed in New York's most fashionable French summer dresses, and strolling lightly in front of the jewelry counter.

"Please take out this diamond bracelet and I'll try it on."

"Miss, this is the most expensive bracelet in our store, you can watch it and you can't try it on." The salesperson wasn't sure if the two men were actually buying.

"Helen, what kind of shop is this, I don't want to see a broken chain. I said I couldn't come here, you wanted to come. ”

"Marina, I think this bracelet will look good on my feet." Wang Xiaomei pointed to the diamond bracelet wrapped in thick glass.

"Helen, you are too much, I only bought a few thousand yuan of clothes today, and you have to buy more than 10,000 yuan of diamond bracelets as anklets."

The salesman was stunned by the conversation between the two of them, and hurriedly whispered to another receptionist salesperson, and the other salesperson hurriedly walked to the store manager's office.

After a while, an old man in a black suit came out of the room, stood next to Wang Xiaomei and Lina for a while, and then said, "The two young ladies are from Atlanta?" ”

"Huh! How do you know, sir? Lina asked in surprise.

"The photos and deeds of the two young ladies have been waiting for the New York Times for a long time, do you want to buy this bracelet?"

Wang Xiaomei looked at the old man with her eyes.

"Sir, aren't you afraid we'll get this chain dirty?"

"Everywhere, we can have Miss Helen and Miss Marina in our store, and you can open the display case so that Miss Helen can see this chain of stars up close." The old man instructed the two salesmen.

The salesman carefully took out the diamond bracelet with his fingertips, put it in the tray and handed it to Wang Xiaomei.

At this time, the customers in the store saw the bracelet taken out of the glass case, and they all stopped and stared at the bracelet. Freshly shipped from Antwerp, the Netherlands, the bracelet is so handmade that it comes at a high price, and the store has given the diamond bracelet a dazzling name: the Chain of Stars.

The price of more than 10,000 dollars in 1922 was ridiculously expensive, but the New York fashion magazine did not hesitate to introduce the origin and workmanship of this chain on the whole page.

Wang Xiaomei casually picked up one end of the starlight chain with her hand, twisted the diamond bracelet with her fingers, the diamond bracelet rotated at her fingertips, and the lights in the store were refracted by the brilliant diamonds on the chain.

The salesman stared directly at the chain of starlight in Wang Xiaomei's hand, for fear that she would accidentally fall down, and the group of noble ladies surrounding Wang Xiaomei and Lina let out an exclamation.

There were some noble ladies in the crowd who read the newspaper regularly, and someone began to whisper: "These two women are Helen and Marina of the First Textile Company, and my God, they have tens of millions of assets." ”

"What First Textile Company?"

"You don't know? It is the company of two girls who bought cotton contracts with more than 10 million yuan some time ago. ”

"Yes, yes, I've seen pictures of the two of them in the newspaper, oh my God, they're so rich, they're so beautiful."

"They are willing to spend money, alas! How can it be a woman? ”

"Hehe, do you think they are men, so they can catch Jin Kaizi?"

These onlookers are either husbands with tens of thousands of family fortunes or parents with tens of thousands of family assets, but no one will buy a bracelet of more than 10,000 yuan so easily.

Wang Xiaomei was intently looking at each diamond set in the chain of stars, and Lina was not bothered by the side.

"Helen, are you finished, a broken chain looks good for a long time? Do you want it or not? ”

The tone of voice is like buying fruit, completely unconcerned that it is an expensive diamond necklace.

The onlookers exchanged glances with each other, and the two girls spoke like college students who had just debuted and had no concept of money.

"It's worth a lot of money, and it should be carefully examined." Someone in the crowd said.

Marina seems to have been born to say this: "Money is for spending, hard work is used to spend money happily, and you can only make money if you can spend money." ”

These words are simply a true portrayal of these two losers, and many women in the crowd showed approving eyes, which is the true meaning of rich people.

Wang Xiaomei's eyes stared at the chain of starlight, and she said lightly, "Marina, you go write a check." ”

"I don't do it, I haven't bought anything before you buy a bracelet." Marina puffed out her mouth and looked unhappy.

"Marina, you choose by yourself, 320,000 you can choose, making money is used to spend, women are born to spend money. Spending 100,000 yuan today will inevitably earn 1 million in a while. Helen's eyes still didn't leave the Chain of Stars, as if talking to herself.

As Helen finished speaking, the entire jewelry store was silent, too deeply rooted in the hearts of women.

Marina was upset and said, "I don't like jewelry, I want to buy cars and clothes." You'll accompany me to buy a car in a moment. ”

Still, Marina picks up a black pearl pendant and a gold belt at the jewelry store.

Angrily, he took out the checkbook from his bag and said to the old man, "How much is the gentleman?" Not discounted? ”

Lina lives in Shanghai and has to bargain for anything, and she always feels uncomfortable if she doesn't kill a few points, so she naturally asks for discounts at jewelry stores in New York.

Everyone didn't expect Marina to offer a discount, and originally thought that she would write a check with a big swing of the pen.

Marina explained to herself: "Money is earned by our hard work, and happy spending is one thing, but we also have to cherish our own money." ”

"Hehe, miss, don't worry, the jewelry you buy will give you 9.8% off." The old man was obviously not surprised.

After calculating the price, Marina wrote a check for more than $20,000 in the checkbook and handed it to the old man.

"Helen is gone, don't look any more at a few glowing stones."

As soon as Wang Xiaomei's hand was released, the chain of starlight slipped from her fingers into the tray.

"Help me pack it up, thank you sir for helping us with the discount." She wanted the old gentleman to smile brightly.

They didn't know that a tabloid reporter next to them had taken several photos with his camera up.

As they left the jewelry store, the discussion continued, I am really rich, and I am really willing to use my own money, just like I dare not use my husband's money more. Alas! People are willing to spend money because they can make money, and they made millions of dollars in a few weeks in Atlanta.

The two returned to their 38th-floor residence in the Woolworth Building, kicked off their heels and stepped barefoot on the plush carpet.

"I'm tired, these feet aren't mine, they're sore and sore, Helen, I don't want to go shopping with you anymore, you're going to toss me to death from the first store on Fifth Avenue to the last, you're afraid that others won't know that you're a rich woman in Atlanta." Lina sat on the carpet and rubbed her feet.

"Marina, you think I want to go shopping, it's part of the plan, it has to get noticed. I'm tired of my aunt and grandmother, I can't get along with myself, my legs are like sticks. ”

"I'll lie down for a while, wake me up in an hour, and I'm going to ask the lawyer how the company we've registered is doing." After speaking, Wang Xiaomei lay on the sofa and did not move.

Lina got up and hung the clothes in her handbag in the closet, her shoes in the shoe closet, and the jewelry she bought in the safe behind the bedroom door.

I took out two coffee cups, brewed two cups of coffee, sat on the side and read the newspaper.

The economic section of the newspaper has a long analysis of the trend of cotton, and even Lina, a layman, knows that these economists are acting in hindsight, what textile market demand will promote the strong demand for cotton, and the status of textiles will be hovering for many years. India's cotton output determines the world cotton price, and this year's severe drought in India will inevitably cause the price of cotton to rise, and the price of cotton in Europe has risen by 10 percent due to the serious decline in Soviet and Russian output.

Flip to the people column Helen and Marina's photo occupies a small half of the page, young rich women from Georgia, detailing their cotton roasting contract in Atlanta, successful businesswoman investor, and finally writing about the two golden girls coming to New York to build the largest silk and textile mill in the United States.

Lina felt like a dream during this time, and she began a completely different life from before when she arrived in the United States, and she gradually fell in love with the United States and this kind of life. With Wang Xiaomei's money behind her, she didn't have to think about anything or answer any questions, Wang Xiaomei prepared it all for her.

An hour later, Wang Xiaomei woke up, Wang Xiaomei lazily rubbed her eyes and got up to pick up the phone to call the law firm.

"I'm Helen, how is the company entrusted to you to register going?"

"Okay, I'll go to your office at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

After Wang Xiaomei hung up the phone, she said to Lina: "The newly registered Global Silk Fabric Company has been completed, and I will go to the office tomorrow to handle the final matters." During this time, stay at home quietly for a few days. ”
