Manhattan Chinatown is one of the three major Chinatowns in the United States, and it is the original Chinatown, the other two being San Francisco and Chicago.

There are two Chinatowns in New York, one is the one where Zhao Mingyang is located at this time, which is close to the most central area of New York, and the other is Flushing, where most of the new immigrants are new immigrants, and Manhattan is full of old immigrants.

Manhattan's Chinatown is very large, with 160,000 Chinese living in it, and there are 45 streets in this community.

Especially the early immigrants, who were basically people from Cantonese-speaking areas, and as I said before, this group of people has a strong family character, so they can quickly become a force after going out.

This force will continue to merge into a larger force with the family to the colloquial similarity to a region, etc., the early Chinese are very grouped, otherwise it is impossible to have Chinatowns all over the world, cultural tolerance is one thing, and the iron has to be hard.

The iconic statue of Bruce Lee in Los Angeles' Chinatown is Lin Zexu, and the iconic statue of Chinatown in Manhattan, New York, is Lin Zexu.

Come here, if it weren't for the signboard in Chinese and English, if it wasn't for the foreigners on the street, you thought that you didn't go abroad at all, and still retained that kind of market atmosphere, such as street stalls and vendors, here is basically everywhere, some people say that dirty mess affects the city's appearance, in fact, as long as it does not affect road safety in the specified area, the small vendors here in the United States basically have to be in a fixed area and have a certificate before they can go out.

And this kind of small vendors, there will be in all regions of the country, some are Mexicans, some are R himself, and the areas where they are located are basically divided, belonging to three or four types of blocks, that is, the location that basically does not affect traffic.

Hua Wanli has been here for more than 20 years, and he is a university professor, so he is relatively famous in the Chinese neighborhood, and there are many highly educated people in the Chinese neighborhood, but they basically can't reach the level of Hua Wanli, mainly because many people with academic qualifications don't recognize it.

Hua Wanli also came out after he was admitted to a university for a doctorate after he arrived here, and his wife Xue Jingchun was too, especially in the Department of Mathematics, basically without water, it can only be said that the level of these two people is very high.

Zhao Mingyang is wearing sunglasses and a black windbreaker, it is already early April at this time, the weather in New York is similar to that of Qindao in China, but the weather in China is cold, it is colder here, the domestic weather is hot, and it is hotter here, of course, there are also differences between the north and the south, for example, some cities are like spring all year round, some cities are like summer all year round, and New York has four distinct seasons.

This season, wearing a shirt inside and a coat outside is the most suitable for going out, especially when three or five friends sit together and brag.

Zhao Mingyang sighed for a while, there were many old people sitting together on the roadside bragging about it, some people playing chess, some people playing cards, and some people talking about history, military affairs, and the global situation.

These memories are still in Zhao Mingyang's childhood, when people on the street used to have nothing to do, they liked to get together to brag and chat, they could instantly join the chat topic, and they could chat very happily, as if everyone had no distance, everyone seemed to have their own views and opinions, and they all wanted to express them, similar to the current netizens chatting on the Internet.

It's just that chatting across the screen is much less experiential than offline, such as the intonation of body descriptions and tone.

Zhao Mingyang came to the shade of a tree on a street and found that among the old people in the row, there was an uncle with gray hair, a pair of glasses and a navy blue jacket playing chess with someone.

This person is Hua Wanli, who is very famous on this street, and is nicknamed the chess king.

Street chess, which is indispensable where there are Chinese, is one of the representatives of Chinese.

Zhao Mingyang walked over and saw Hua Wanli playing chess with an old man, there was a pack of Huazi in front of a person on the table, whoever lost would take who's Huazi, it is said that Hua Wanli is here, and he wins at least ten packs of Huazi every day, that is because he only plays about ten games a day.

And after he wins, he will see that he has a share, and he will directly split it and draw it for everyone, and many people will come to rub Huazi to draw.

He is Tu Yile, the main thing is that she is not bad for money, mainly because she is bored at home.

To put it bluntly, if you want to win against him in chess, you must at least have the same level of mathematics as him.

At that time, some of the fields in Las Vegas were swept by a group of top students from the mathematics department of a well-known university, and the professor took a group of students to the casino to fight, directly calculate the winning and losing rates, how to play the best chance of winning, and did not cheat, but won without losing.

In the end, the casino could only block them, not let them in, and talked to them, don't come to play, play, Las Vegas is working for them.

A group of math geniuses not only went to Las Vegas to play, but also calculated the lottery winning rate, simply put, regardless of whether the lottery has a cat or not, they sorted out all the lottery lottery numbers over the years, and calculated the numbers that may be drawn in the next period, which was also discussed in the United States at that time.

This may be the free gold house in the book that the ancestor said, with gold, there must be no shortage of beauty and jade.

Finally, many fields give restrictions to this group of people, such as professional boxers cannot fight counterfeits like ordinary people, and people in certain disciplines cannot participate in some projects, especially collective participation.

The simple understanding is that the dealer can't afford to play, flip the table, and take out the biubiu to prevent these mathematical geniuses from playing.

The best place for this group of people to go is the financial circle, you go to cut leeks and don't care about me, don't come to cut the dealer as a leek, then the dealer is not your ATM?

So most of the mathematical geniuses either entered the field of scientific research or the field of finance, and they were clearly divided, but if they were short of money, it was really not difficult to make money.

The final talent difference in mathematics is very large, and hard work cannot be achieved, this is a genius subject, and ordinary people can only reach the peak of basic mathematics at most.

Zhao Mingyang observed that Hua Wanli basically calculated which step the other party was going to take, and they all followed Hua Wanli's route, and they were all routes arranged by Hua Wanli.

He can chat with people over a cup of tea and then play chess.

Old man, he is still old, and he has not been beaten by young people.

Zhao Mingyang suddenly remembered how a group of young people bullied the elderly in his previous life, and taught these elderly people to recognize reality.

Zhao Mingyang was watching from the side, he didn't speak, watching chess without saying a word is the basic ethics, if you command blindly at this time, if you don't really have a level, you will be sprayed by the crowd.

When lunch was ordered, the old man got up and was about to go shopping for vegetables to cook, Zhao Mingyang followed from a distance, and found that Hua Wanli went to the vegetable market with an old lady, if this old lady was not Xue Jingchun, Zhao Mingyang felt that it would be a big problem.

The old lady was dressed plainly, and the old couple were strolling around the vegetable market, basically everyone was a regular customer, and some people greeted them warmly.

In the afternoon, the old man will go to play a few games of chess, and then go fishing, the old lady's life is basically relatively monotonous, the only preference, according to the information provided by the relatives of the little cousin's family, is painting, every day will go out fishing with the old man, she paints next to her.

This may be the life of the immortal couple, but Zhao Mingyang doesn't believe it, they are not in a hurry, Hua Weizhi's marriage, they must also be in a hurry, but there is a bug here, so they can't break it!

What are the bugs in the couple? Face!

This thing is very important to them, they are respected scholars and professors, and then their daughters are geniuses, and the family is the existence that others look up to, but this is a bug point.

Everyone thinks that their daughter Hua Weizhi is not worried about getting married, and she doesn't want to get married, and her vision is too high.

This makes the old couple embarrassed, looking at the children of the people who are better than the people, they are all married and have children, everyone talks to each other about matchmaking, but no one tells Hua Weizhi about matchmaking, every time they say that Professor Hua's daughter is definitely not worried about getting married, so good, we definitely don't look down on what we are talking about.

You see, this directly blocked the road, and the old couple died for the sake of face, and it was not easy to speak, and when they spoke, they were afraid of being talked about behind their backs, what should I do? Just wait, stay up.

The old couple was even afraid to go to the matchmaking center to sign up for their daughter, the key is that the Chinese circle here is too small, you want a little bit of a big fart, and it soon spread, I want to go to Los Angeles to find someone to talk to my daughter about the matchmaker, but there are no people I know there, between colleagues, many of them are foreigners, people are not popular, and there is basically no contact in China, so I am trapped here.

In fact, this kind of thing is really uncommon, many female doctors are also stuck in this way at home, and the matchmaker believes that she has introduced, and the other party must not look down on it, so it is better not to waste time, which is why many highly educated and high-income people will go to a matchmaking company, and there is really no other way.

Zhao Mingyang has been with the old man for a day, and after going back, he made a set of plans, first of all, to establish communication with the old man, the old lady rarely communicates with people, and every time she goes out, she is basically with the old man.

At this point, you can't attack the old lady, you can only attack the old man.

Roadside chess is a breakthrough, and there is an age difference, Zhao Mingyang's first consideration is the age difference, if you are not in an age group, it is difficult for you to communicate with people of the same age.

Secondly, there will be vigilance, such as children and adults playing, adults are not vigilant, but children will have, will be afraid, the elderly are like children, in fact, the old people's vigilance is also very strong, and the adults here refer to young and middle-aged people.

Zhao Mingyang contacted the people who talked about cooperation before, and wanted them to introduce the makeup team in the United States, if you want to make up, it is best to make a reverse film, that is, to make a fake skin and hair together Customized head covering, you can understand it as a disguise technique.

This kind of one needs to be customized according to the face shape, and a makeup look can take several hours, and the advantage is that it looks the same as the real thing, and you can't tell the real from the fake.

This project is basically common in movies, there used to be a variety show that imitated stars, and this kind of method was used, but they used a worse one, and the price to be done was too expensive, and the program team could not do it according to the movie standard for the cost.

Zhao Mingyang customized a 20,000 US knife, and added 5,000 yuan for the door-to-door service fee, the other party came overnight to Zhao Mingyang to do a head and tail and facial contour data collection, and went back to Zhao Mingyang to make it, there is a mature business chain here, so it can be made in seven or eight hours.

Zhao Mingyang added an expedited fee of 5,000 US dollars, a total of 30,000 US dollars, and they will serve Zhao Mingyang one-on-one as soon as possible.

Having money is to solve 99.99% of the trouble and improve the efficiency of 99.99%, that is, to think of anything as long as it can be solved with money, you can do it, you can build rockets, this is the happiness brought by money, and the troubles brought by money will be remembered, and it is likely that they will come to rob you of your money.

The film is done, the next step is the voice, Zhao Mingyang is not a professional broadcasting professional, that group of people can change their voices at any time, and the pretense can be perfectly presented, Zhao Mingyang has also learned a little, but it is all pediatrics.

The only way to change Zhao Mingyang's voice is to use his voice.

But before that, Zhao Mingyang had to ask where he could get some equipment here.

I have to ask Mu Tong about this, Mu Tong's circle, the circle of war correspondents and investigative reporters in the past is global, and he can contact what Zhao Mingyang wants to buy.

Zhao Mingyang wants to buy a pinhole camera and a mini headset.

Mu Tong also came here today, he cooperated with Zhao Mingyang, Zhao Mingyang was most relieved, and everything was left to him to handle, so that Zhao Mingyang was very worry-free.

At this time, Zhao Mingyang was going to do another thing, smoking, drinking, singing and draining his voice.

This is a very helpless method, that is, to artificially change his voice, Zhao Mingyang found one near the hotel, and sang a song for an hour, and his voice basically couldn't recover in a week.

There was already hoarseness and broken voice, and it was a little painful to speak, so Zhao Mingyang hurriedly took anti-inflammatory drugs and throat lozenges.

Smoking, drinking, and singing for an hour in a row is very harmful to people, especially when you spend your voice singing high-pitched songs.

At six o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhao Mingyang went to a beauty studio in a car half-asleep, where many people were waiting for Zhao Mingyang and putting on Zhao Mingyang's makeup.

Zhao Mingyang's makeup is not complicated, it is to be old rather than customized like someone, and if you want to customize someone's appearance, you have to customize every part.

This kind of makeup is time-consuming and laborious, similar to the makeup of the characters in Journey to the West, sticking and pasting everywhere, Zhao Mingyang also specially asked them to do their own hands, the hands of the old are different from the young people.

As long as Zhao Mingyang makes some folds, he doesn't look thin, and he can't do it, because the old man also has a characteristic that he is skinny.

Zhao Mingyang put on makeup for five or six hours, during which Zhao Mingyang rested on the shampoo bed for more than an hour, and his spirit instantly improved a lot.

At noon, Zhao Mingyang got up, wearing a white shirt, a dark blue jacket, a pair of gray trousers and a pair of leather shoes, and a watch on his hand, looking like an old cadre.

It's a bit of Gao Yuliang's taste, Zhao Mingyang also pasted two cotton balls the size of beans in his nostrils, in order to make people unable to hear the youthful breath when he spoke.

After everything was cleaned up, he began to walk with a straight waist, in fact, with this kind of makeup, many stars later liked to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers to show off on the wild court, pretending to be an old man and abusing young people, Zhao Mingyang was going to pretend to be an old man and abuse an old man.

After everything was cleaned up, Zhao Mingyang and Mu Tong converged, and Mu Tong tied a button to the collar of Zhao Mingyang's clothes and set it up, so that he could see the picture and hear the sound.

Zhao Mingyang and Mu Tong had a meal, and when it was about half past two in the afternoon, the old man would go to chess for half an hour, then go fishing at three o'clock, and go back at about six o'clock.

At two o'clock, Zhao Mingyang went to the place where he was playing chess on the side of the road one step ahead of time, and took the initiative to participate in the game of chess.

At this time, he looked like he was in his sixties, and he looked very imposing.

"Can I play this?" Zhao Mingyang stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, what's not to do? But we are playing the lottery, losing a game and a pack of Huazi, do you play or not? An old man in a hat sat there and said.

Many of these old men go out with a bag of Huazi every day, just to learn from Hua Wanli, Zhao Mingyang's style is not strange to everyone, they all know why this came out, they haven't adapted to it yet, and there is a pair of panaches, many of these old men are like this when they first come over, and this group of old men are not short of money in their hands.

Not to mention a pack of Huazi, it is a bottle of Moutai in a game, and no one is distressed.

Zhao Mingyang took a seat, and the old man wearing a hat opposite him played chess with him.

"Then I'll go first." Zhao Mingyang held the red chess piece and took a direct step to hit the head.

The other party got on the horse, and then Zhao Mingyang walked according to the instructions of Mu Tong, who was playing chess with a mobile phone in the distance.

During this period, Go is still more powerful than machines, but chess is more powerful than machines, and the algorithm of Go is very complex, until 2015, the first generation of alpha dogs appeared, and in 2016, they competed with Lee Sedol, and this time the game has basically proved that alpha dogs are powerful.

But chess, as early as the beginning of the millennium, humans and computers basically couldn't win.

Mu Tong set up the intermediate rank, so Zhao Mingyang won the other party very easily, and took the other party's bag of Huazi and put it in front of him.

took out a pack of Huazi from his clothes and scattered some for the people around him to smoke, and shouted to the roadside vendor selling tea to bring the battery and water over, and he invited all the onlookers to drink tea.

Soon I chatted with everyone and became acquainted.

After the old man in the hat lost, he changed to the next one, Zhao Mingyang asked the other party to go first, Mu Tong followed the other party's order, and then told Zhao Mingyang the steps of the robot again, not surprisingly, Zhao Mingyang won again.

"Amazing, it seems that only Mr. Hua can deal with you, and we are not opponents anymore." An old man in a gray hooded sweatshirt and a sportswear said.

"Teacher Hua? Is the teacher Hua in your mouth very powerful? Zhao Mingyang said, his voice was slightly hoarse, and there was cotton in his nostrils, so his voice was very low.

"That's not it, the chess king on our side, if you play with him, it may be called a chess opponent." Someone said.

"Then there's a chance to play, I'm here to travel, I'm going back in a few days, just now I saw you playing chess and came over to join in the fun." Zhao Mingyang said.

"Wait a minute, I'll call Mr. Hua, he is probably about to leave the house." An old man picked up the phone and said, Zhao Mingyang's purpose has been achieved.
