Crossing the famous Williamsburg Bridge, the car finally left Queens and entered Manhattan Island, the most prosperous city in New York. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Silently admiring the prosperous scene outside the window piled up by huge capital, Lu Li couldn't help but secretly sigh at the classic lines of the ancient TV series "Beijinger in New York".

"If you like someone, take him to New York, because it's heaven, and if you hate someone, take him to New York, because it's hell. ”

As this sentence describes, a bridge clearly demarcates the boundary between heaven and hell, and Manhattan is naturally a paradise in the truest sense of the word.

Although it is only 20 kilometers long and 4 kilometers wide, it covers an area of no more than 60 square kilometers, but it is the largest financial and commercial center in the United States and the entire world.

More than one-third of the nation's 500 largest companies are headquartered in Manhattan, including seven major banks and six large monopolies.

In addition, on both sides of the narrow street of only 450 meters, there are more than 2,900 financial and foreign trade institutions, the most well-known being the famous Nasdaq stock exchange.

It can be said that more than half of the wealth of the United States is concentrated here, forming an unparalleled huge financial capital alliance.

Coupled with the support of financial and military hegemony, no country in the world can resist the power of Wall Street, at least not at this stage.

In contrast, Brooklyn and the Bronx are basically synonymous with hell, and some places with a special concentration of blacks and Latinos can even give you the illusion that you are in Africa or South America.

As for Queens, after years of renovation, it's barely pretty good at the moment, and although it's far from going to Manhattan, it's much better than the first two.

Just when Lu Li was thinking with great interest about why such a peculiar social phenomenon had formed in the United States, Jamie Dimon suddenly asked, "Dear Lu, which hotel are you going to stay in tonight?"

"Hotel?" Lu Li paused visibly.

"That's right, don't tell me you haven't booked yet!" Jamie Dimon was also stunned.

Since making an appointment is the core part of Americans' time management methods, whether it is going to the hospital, buying tickets, ordering meals, booking rooms, or even shopping, you must make an appointment in advance, otherwise you may encounter the embarrassing situation that the other party does not provide services.

And the more high-end the consumption place, the more you often need to make an appointment in advance.

Lu Li undoubtedly recalled this, and immediately shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I really forgot." ”

"Oh my God, well, it looks like I'm going to have to make a few phone calls to check out the availability of the hotels." As he spoke, Jamie Dimon pulled out his cell phone and dialed one of the numbers.

But before he could press it, Lu Li hurriedly stopped: "Thank you for your kindness, but don't bother, I happen to have a property in New York, just stop by to take a look." ”

"Oh, where?" asked Jamie Damon, looking surprised.

"Uh...... If I'm not mistaken, it should be in Brooklyn. Here, here's the address, please send me over. Lu Li took out a pen and notepad from his pocket and wrote down a house number, and then handed it to Carl, who was driving.

The latter glanced at it and immediately reminded: "Sir, as far as I know, this place is not very safe, there are often some drug dealers, I personally recommend that you find a hotel." ”

"Don't worry, it's just a night, not to mention that I have the ability to protect myself. Lu Li shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively.

As he experienced more and more big scenes, he was no longer the ordinary person who felt sick to his stomach even when he killed for the first time a few months ago, and the street drug dealers were not taken seriously at all.

Carl was visibly a little uneasy, and turned to stare at his boss, as if asking what to do.

Jamie Dimon hesitated for a second or two, and finally nodded quietly.

Without saying a word, Carl turned right and headed for the bridge to Brooklyn, where he stopped next to a very old red masonry building.

I don't know if it's because of the poor security, the windows on the first floor here are all equipped with white iron railings, and there are even arson stairs on the side that often appear in classic Hollywood movies, as if suddenly returning to the eighties and nineties of the last century.

Although it is already midnight, there are still many young figures walking around in the streets and alleys, most of the women wear heavy makeup and sexy and revealing clothes, and they don't need to ask to know that their profession is street women.

Men wear peaked hats and look left and right, selling narcotics to everyone who approaches them.

Although there is a lot of illegal trade, Lu Li is keenly aware that this place is not at all like the slums of Miami, where there are often idle thugs roaming around, attacking or robbing pedestrians and shops, as if there is some invisible force in the darkness that restrains violence.

"Nice apartment, maybe a little old, but convenient, the land is quite valuable, and the security is barely guaranteed. Congratulations, you have a good vision, and I believe that it will more than triple in value in the next few years. Jamie Dimon rubbed his chin and commented.

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, but it has nothing to do with vision, it's a compensatory product. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go in first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow the day after tomorrow. With that, Lu Li pushed the car door and got out.

Just as he was about to go to the trunk to pick up his luggage, Jamie Dimon suddenly asked without warning: "Mr. Lu, as a friend and partner, can you tell me what happened to the most important plant of Lannett Pharmaceutical that was hit by a meteorite?"

When Lu Li heard this question, he instantly became vigilant, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you suspecting something?"

"No, don't get me wrong, I don't care about the fate of Lannett Pharmaceutical, and I also took the initiative to help you hide the traces of shorting stocks, and now I just hope that Zeng Jin understands each other. After all, your performance in this matter is really amazing, especially after just two or three days of completing the short selling, the shorted target has suffered a terrible natural disaster, and no one with a little brain will think that it is a coincidence. The president of JPMorgan Chase explained with a smile.

In other words, are you ready to uncover the truth? In my opinion, there are some things that are happier than knowing, and knowing them adds to the troubles. Of course, the choice is yours, if you think about it, please feel free to call me and you will see a different world then......"

After saying this sentence, which concealed a strong hint, Lu Li dragged the luggage taken out of the trunk of the car and walked into the old apartment door with Vivien.
