Chapter 210: Trump Building
Seeing the hope in Chen Xuanni's eyes, Liu Yansong naturally couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go shopping." ”
"Well, thank you, Yan Song. Let's just go shopping" seemed to be worried that Liu Yansong would think too much, and she even added cautiously. Liu Yansong felt funny and turned his head to look at Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding understood, and hurriedly went to drive, at this time Liu Yansong helped Chen Xuanni close the door of the hotel, and the two stood on the side of the road waiting for Xiao Ding's car. Not long after, Xiao Ding drove over, Liu Yansong opened the car door for Chen Xuanni, and the two quickly got in.
Chinatown is still some distance from Fifth Avenue, and Liu Yansong recently learned that the location of Lu Dao is Queens, and the so-called Chinatown, in fact, is called New Chinatown. New York also has an old Chinatown, also known as Chinatown, which is in the same Manhattan district as Fifth Avenue, in the lower town at the southern end of Manhattan, running east and west of Manhattan Island. Although Chinatown is called a city, it is not as big as New Chinatown, and when the car passed by, Liu Yansong saw the statue of Lin Zexu with long braids standing at the corner of the street, and suddenly he had a sense of going back in time
Xiao Ding drove quickly, Lin Zexu's statue flashed, and it didn't take long for the car to arrive at the intersection of 3rd Street and Fifth Avenue. Liu Yansong and Chen Xuanni got out of the car, Xiao Ding drove to the parking lot, and Liu Yansong looked up and saw a high-rise building with top tops. Chen Xuanni smiled and told Liu Yansong that it was the Empire State Building, located at the junction of 3rd Street and Fifth Avenue. In Manhattan, north-south streets are called Avcv, and east-west streets are called v. After the 9ll incident, the Empire State Building became the tallest building in New York. Just as Liu Yansong was curious to see the freshness, a tricycle rode quickly in front of him. This makes Liu Yansong even more curious, in such a downtown area, there are still tricycles pulling guests on the car road with the car, if in the first-tier cities of China, I am afraid that the mighty urban management army will jump out and detain the car.
Liu Yansong and Chen Xuanni stood at the intersection and looked at it for a while, the four directions of the intersection were high-rise buildings, so the two of them walked forward immediately, and it didn't take long for Chen Xuanni to point to a high-rise building in front of her and say that she wanted to go up for sightseeing. The high-rise building is called the Trump Building, named after New York real estate tycoon Donald Trump, and is a complex of shopping malls and office buildings.
The six-storey building is close to the taste of this much-maligned tycoon, and its most distinctive feature is the planting of trees on the decreasing floors, which makes it stand out from the Fifth Avenue complex, and you can appreciate the strange extravagance and opulence of the nouveau riche when you walk in. The lobby and the high atrium are entirely clad in pink marble, and the brass-colored staircase railings are intertwined with searchlights projected from the corners.
The two walked into the building, and the crowd inside was crowded, tourists from different countries in the world, shopping frantically here, nearly 100,000 yuan a fur coat, tens of thousands of yuan of skirts everywhere. And all kinds of precious jewelry, in the extremely luxurious hall, also dazzled everyone's eyes.
For a while, Chen Xuanni seemed to have come to Grandma Liu in the Grand View Garden, she held Liu Yansong's arm, excitedly pointed to the counters in the hall, and kept admiring. The items there are all luxury jewelry from different brands in the world, although Chen Xuanni likes it, she will not spend money to buy it, and she does not have such purchasing power. It is a woman's nature to love beauty, although Chen Xuanni is mature, she is like a little girl, although she has no purchasing power, she is still very happy, as long as Liu Yansong can be by her side, she will be satisfied.
Chen Xuanni's laughter infected many tourists. In fact, not everyone who comes to the Trump Building will buy luxury jewelry here, and the potential customers can be kept at about 20%, so the Trump Building will snicker. The two walked and watched, and when they walked past a jewelry counter, Chen Xuanni's footsteps stopped, she walked to the counter, her eyes stopped on a piece of jewelry, but she didn't want to take it away.
This is a beautiful jewelry, well, in fact, this jewelry should be a set. Chen Xuanni's eyes were on a bracelet with a lifelike butterfly standing on it. Next to the bracelet, there are several other ornaments, which should be in the same set as the bracelet, the most attractive of which is a delicate necklace with one hundred and eight diamonds.
"Hello and welcome." The counter employee, dressed beautifully in a small suit, bowed slightly with a smile on his face
"Take it out and have a look." Liu Yansong pointed to the bracelet on the counter, looking extremely indifferent.
The employee opened the key to the counter, first took out a delicate wooden box and put it on the table, and then took out the bracelet and carefully placed it in the wooden box, she pointed to the bracelet and smiled: "This bracelet is an ornament of the Deep Starfish series set, our Deep Star set has a total of six accessories, if two distinguished guests want to buy, you can now enjoy a ninety-eight discount." ”
Originally, Chen Xuanni had already reached out to pick up the bracelet, and when she heard the introduction of the counter staff, she couldn't help but look at the box containing the starfish suit, only to see a label next to it, with a three-character on the front and two zeros in the back. Chen Xuanni took a closer look, and there was a 10,000 word behind the zero, and behind the 10,000 words were the two words US dollars that were originally on the label. found that this set of jewelry actually cost 3 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 20 million yuan, Chen Xuanni's face immediately froze. After a long while, she asked a little embarrassedly, "Miss, can I ask if this jewelry can be sold alone?" ”
The counter staff shook their heads, "I'm sorry, noble lady, each of our set of starfish is a fine piece that has been carefully crafted by the master and took months to create. The Abyssal Starfish set series is not an option, please forgive me. The counter staff smiled and bowed, her quality was very good, and she did not look down on the other party because she saw that Chen Xuanni could not afford to buy jewelry, she took the bracelet from Chen Xuanni's hand and put it back on the counter. However, Chen Xuanni seemed to really like this jewelry, she hesitated a little, but gently grabbed the hand of the counter staff and said: "Miss, otherwise, can you please help me ask your supervisor or manager, I am willing to buy this bracelet by ten percent more, and please quote me a price." ”
Hearing Chen Xuanni's words, the counter staff hesitated. A piece of jewelry is ten percent more expensive, and although the bracelet is only one of the starfish sets, it is worth at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. If the price of hundreds of thousands of items is more than 10%, that is, tens of thousands more, but she can get 20% of these tens of thousands of dollars, which is a lot of commission. So the counter staff was tempted, she groaned in her heart, and felt that even if she asked the manager, it was nothing, so she nodded and said: "It's okay, then please wait a while, I'll ask the manager first." ”
Chen Xuanni nodded in agreement, and the counter staff put away the bracelet and locked the counter. She said hello to her colleagues in the company and left quickly, thinking that she should have reported to the company's manager. Liu Yansong sat down and waited with Chen Xuanni, when Liu Yansong's phone rang, but Xiao Ding had already parked the car and asked where they were. Liu Yansong said that he hung up when he said his position, and then Chen Xuanni said a little embarrassed: "Yansong, I'm sorry, I really like that bracelet." ”
Liu Yansong reached out and gently scraped her nose, "It's nothing, anyway, it's just to come out to play, if you like it, you can buy it." However, I think it will be a bit difficult for you to buy the bracelet alone. ”
Chen Xuanni sighed, she knew that Liu Yansong's inference was very reasonable, such a large luxury jewelry company, I am afraid it would not care about the price of hundreds of thousands. At this time, someone next to him came over to look at the jewelry, and the person glanced at Liu Yansong and the two, and was going to let the two move away, but after he saw Chen Xuanni's face, his figure was slightly stunned, and then a strange light emanated from his eyes. So the man remained silent, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the starfish and asked a counter employee who came over, "What is the discount for your jewelry?" ”
The counter staff hurriedly smiled and bowed, "Hello, sir, welcome." Then she quickly introduced the man to the set of jewelry of the starfish.
The man looked wealthy, and he waved his hand indifferently, "Take it out and I'll take a look." ”
The counter staff quickly opened the counter and took out the entire set of jewelry. At this time, Liu Yansong seemed to be a little familiar when he heard the man's voice, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other party. This person should be in his thirties and forties, Liu Yansong felt as if he had seen him somewhere, and the other party's voice vaguely seemed to be heard somewhere, but he thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this man, after all, the man spoke English, and Liu Yansong couldn't distinguish it for a while.
Liu Yansong was looking at the man, but in fact, the man was also secretly looking here. After the counter staff took out the jewelry, the man was not in a hurry to check, but instead turned his head and looked at Liu Yansong with a smile and said, "The two are fellow Chinese villagers, right?" ”
Liu Yansong nodded lightly, "Well, we are from Huaxia, where are you from Huaxia, friend?" ”
The other party's voice is indeed a little familiar, originally Liu Yansong thought that the other party was a Chinese from the beginning, but now when the man asked like this, he knew it in his heart. This person may have something to do with himself, but I don't know when he met him.
When the man saw that his conjecture was correct, he was a little happy, so he took out two business cards from his body. "Since we are fellow countrymen, we should make friends. Come, two, this is my business card, when I return to Huaxia in the future, if there is anything I need help with, you are welcome to come to Yuzhou City. ”
