Subtitle of this chapter: The beauty of the Qing Ben, how can I Bao Xiaosan?!

"This surnamed Wang...... Well, the surname Yuan is too much! ”

As soon as Huang Huilan finished reading the report from the Pinkerton Detective Agency, she couldn't care about maintaining her ladylike demeanor and said through gritted teeth. She was so excited that she almost mispronounced her name.

The two Nanyang beauties got off the ship and did not go to the Consulate General of the Republic of China in New York, but stayed directly at the famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.

This hotel is so famous, and it has a little to do with the people of Seris. At the end of the 19th century, Li Hongzhang, who was then the governor of Zhili of the Qing Dynasty and the minister of Beiyang, took a boat to inspect European and American countries. In New York, the hotel where Li Hefei stayed was the Waldorf Astoria, becoming the first Chinese dignitary to stay in the hotel in history.

In the 80s of the 19th century, John-Astor, the head of the Astor family, was recognized as the richest man in the United States at that time. While he was alive, he made a will, leaving all his wealth to his only son, William Waldorf Astoria, and instructed him to build a hotel "for the rich".

In 1893, William? Waldolph? As his father wished, Astor demolished his mansion in Manhattan, New York, and built one of the most luxurious hotels in the United States at the time. Business boomed after opening, and 4 years later his cousin John? Jacob? Astor opened a similar restaurant next door, Astoria, which was connected by a corridor and became known as the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

This hotel is currently located at 350 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan between West 33rd and West 34th Streets. In the original timeline, nine years later, the Empire State Building, which represents "American speed," would be built here. The Waldorf Astoria will be moved next to Central Park.

If they are not the treasures of the current minister of the Republic of China to the United States, they will not be able to live in it at all; Similarly, if they weren't the daughters of the Nanyang wealthy families, they wouldn't be able to afford to live at all.

"Auntie......" The wife of the minister in the United States was about to beckon Miss Wei Mingzhu to also read the report, which cost a lot of dollars, but saw that she was holding a magazine and reading it very energetically, and she looked deaf.

She couldn't help but step forward and asked curiously, "Auntie, what book are you reading?" ”

Wei Mingzhu came back to his senses at this time. Her face turned red and she said hesitantly: "It's nothing, all I read is a ...... Well, a pastime"

Now in New York...... Well, on the entire East Coast of the United States, "A Song of Ice and Fire" is already half the sky. In less than a week since its release, the 10,000 copies of the inaugural issue of SCP have been sold out, and the Craftsman is working overtime to press it. And "Biqu Pavilion" also took advantage of this momentum and sold at least four or five thousand copies.

In addition to the fact that this book is really good-looking, Master Yuan's marketing methods prepared in advance are also indispensable, hard advertising and soft marketing together, fooling the American people unwanted.

Because he now had a good relationship with Le Monde, he agreed to an offer from Le Monde's literary supplement to continue the series "The Case of Di Gong", and on this condition asked the big newspaper, one of the four major newspapers in New York, to advertise SCP for several days. He did not let go of other big newspapers and tabloids, and took out real money to advertise for a period of time.

Theodore Dresser, Vera Cather, Fitzgerald, and T.S. Eliot also had a lot of good things to say about him in newspapers and magazines like The New Yorker, and Master Yuan bribed some critics to brush up on him.

Moreover, his old man's reputation is not small now, and he already has a group of loyal fans who buy his account.

These factors are added together, and "A Song of Ice and Fire" has a feeling that Xinxiang paper is expensive as soon as it comes out. It's just that the means of communication are too backward in recent years, and the response of the market and the feedback of readers have been slowed down by so much, and they have not yet attracted the attention of the whole society.

Wei Mingzhu's magazine was sent by Luo Puxiang, this "Jinmen prawn" is more and more incomprehensible to his old friend, but in his heart he is more and more admired, a few days ago he really took out 5,000 US dollars into a share of Seris Investment Company.

He took out this magazine and gave it to Miss Wei, which was also helping President Yuan, and this favor was indeed in the heart. Wei Mingzhu, who has a very good English skills, was fascinated by "A Song of Ice and Fire" at the beginning, and watched it without caring about anything.

Huang Huilan, who was angry, didn't notice the strangeness of the little aunt, but sincerely apologized: "Auntie, I was wrong. ”

"Are you wrong? Where do you start? When Wei Mingzhu heard this, he could only put down the "SCP" in his hand and asked suspiciously.

"Hey......" The minister's wife sighed, handed over the report in her hand, and said, "Auntie, you can see for yourself." ”

When Miss Wei saw her niece's expression, she also knew that something was wrong. She forced her composure to take the Pinkerton report and read it.

Worthy of the American ...... Well, the largest detective agency in the world is worthy of the professionalism of Agent Aiden. This report not only contains our Master Yuan's past experience in New York in the past few years, and some clues related to the Wall Street BOOOOOM case, but the most important thing is to record his whereabouts and actions in detail in the past half month.

And our Master Yuan these days...... It's really busy.

Miss Wei Mingzhu closed her lips tightly and read the report without saying a word or a word. It's just that Huang Huilan noticed that her little aunt's long eyelashes kept fluttering, and the minister's wife knew that her heart was not at peace at this time.

In fact, this eldest lady who yearns for revolutionary heroes is not really uncannibalistic, she also knows that it is normal for men in these years to act on the spot, so if Yuan Yanqian occasionally goes to Jiyuan or is a little unclear with other women, she is not ready to care. After all, she has fully recognized the talent of this man.

But this stinky man openly wrapped up the junior without any scruples, one pack and two packs, one of which was a movie star...... I can't calm down with anyone else, and I can't accept it.

"Beauty, what ......" Miss Wei Mingzhu sighed deeply and said half a sentence in a low voice.

She stood up and smiled to herself, and then raised her voice to the maid who was waiting beside her, "Ajuan, prepare bath water for me." ”

"Yes, little miss."

Miss Wei pointed to the half-seen SCP magazine and said, "That's right, Ajuan." Help me get this magazine...... Hey, take it into the bathroom. ”

Wei Mingzhu, who was still reluctant to "A Song of Ice and Fire", turned his head and said in a gloomy tone: "Huilan, I won't go to the reception banquet of the consulate tonight." Just say I'm tired of traveling......"

"Hong Yan, let me introduce you, this is Minister Gu's wife......"
