Chapter 274: The Rich Neighborhood of New York

Chen Weidong's gaze turned to Li Yun and the others.

"No, there will be someone to pick us up when we get there." Xiang Shaohua unscrewed the soda and took a sip, feeling that the pores on his body were cold and shrunk back.

This time, the two of them came, and they had already prepared in advance, and there were people from the United States all year round, so it was not difficult to find a translator and guide.

"Really, don't you take me? I speak better English than any of you." Li Xi'er muttered quietly, still not giving up.

As a top student at Harvard University, she certainly has no problem speaking skills.

No matter from any point of view, she is the most suitable person, but Chen Weidong just didn't let her go.

What about the personal secretary who said yes?

"You'd better stay in the company, we're not joking around this time, and besides, if I'm not there, you can handle many things for me."

Chen Weidong leaned on the corner of the table and shook his head, without Li Xi'er, of course, there were deep considerations.

They are all men, and it is very inconvenient to bring a woman, and it is not a wise choice for all the top executives of the company to go to the United States.

Those capital consortia are not fuel-efficient lamps.

If something happens, it's *** annoying.

Seeing Chen Weidong so determined, Li Xi'er could only give up, but still told him to be careful.

Subsequently, several people discussed some precautions after arriving in the United States, and went back to their temporary residences to rest.

Only Chen Weidong and Li Xi'er were left, and the two looked at each other in the office.

"You don't want to take me alive or dead, you can't have any bad intentions, right?" Li Xi'er locked a stack of sorted documents in the bookcase behind Chen Weidong, and pressed her slender little hand on his shoulder.

Chen Weidong raised his eyebrows: "Men do things, women don't ask too much, okay?"

"Cut, don't bring me a woman back, I don't care about you for the rest." Li Xi'er stuck out her tongue, breathed a long sigh of relief, bent down and hugged Chen Weidong, and then stuck it to his neck, opening her mouth to make a look like she was about to bite.

Feeling the sharp teeth on his neck, Chen Weidong shuddered: "What do you think, foreigners have a strange smell on their bodies, so they have to spray perfume to cover it up, ordinary people can't stand it, and don't underestimate my aesthetics, okay?" I still like your little freshness."

"Hmph, after all, you are a person with a criminal record, it is better to be like this, otherwise I want you to look good."

Li Xi'er listened to the sweetness in her heart, and couldn't help but warn, and the two of them reluctantly warmed up.

Following.

Chen Weidong said goodbye to Li Xi'er, and boarded a United Airlines Boeing 747 plane with Chen Jie, Li Yun and others.

Sitting in the comfortable first class cabin, the group was both a little nervous and a little excited.

The United States is not comparable to a small country like an island country, and in this era, all kinds of imported films are being exported subtly and imperceptibly all the time.

This also makes many people wonder what America is really like, and whether it is really so free, open, and developed.

Or is it in dire straits?

This time they came out, very low-key, and only a very few people knew about their itinerary.

The plane did not make a stopover, and after 17 hours of continuous flight, it finally reached the territory of Yin Lizabeth City, New Jersey.

Newark Liberty International Airport.

It is 26 kilometers from Manhattan, New York.

In the crowd at the exit of the airport, a slightly chubby middle-aged man held a photo in his hand, checked it carefully a few times, and then trotted over quickly.

"Mr. Chen, welcome to the United States!"

When he saw Chen Weidong and the others, he immediately greeted him warmly.

"Hello... Hello...." Chen Jie saw that he looked familiar, and subconsciously shook hands with him.

Xiang Shaohua gave them a look, indicating that it was indeed his own, and then turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Old Qiao, hurry up

Let's find a place to stay and rest, we're all tired after a day on the plane."

He kept scanning and found that there were foreigners of all colors around him, and he felt very uncomfortable, and his nerves tensed, for fear of being noticed.

"Let's go, I've got the car over."

When the chubby middle-aged man heard this, he hurriedly led everyone to a Ford Conqueror, which was a very wide business car, with a huge interior space, enough to seat six or seven people, and it was not crowded at all.

It can be seen that the middle-aged man has indeed undergone some preparations.

He drove the crowd to Manhattan, New York.

Along the way, through small talk, Chen Weidong and the others learned that the middle-aged man's name was Qiao Zhiyong, and he had immigrated to the United States eight years ago.

When he was in China before, he was also the director of the development department of a certain place, and he ran here for some reason.

And his wife and children are still in China for the time being.

From his series of words, Chen Weidong felt that he seemed to want to bring his wife and children here.

But when it came to the key point, Qiao Zhiyong glanced at Li Yun and them intentionally or unintentionally, and quietly changed the topic.

Chen Weidong nodded slightly, and did not ask any more.

After about an hour's drive, the car finally entered Manhattan.

This is the most prosperous place in New York, just like Hong Kong Island.

Manhattan is also home to the highest concentration of skyscrapers in the United States and has been described as the economic and financial center of the United States.

In fact, Manhattan is the smallest borough in New York, consisting of an island and surrounded by the East River, the Hudson River, and the Harlem River, and is very densely populated.

The layout of the whole street is like a chessboard, every inch of land is a forest of reinforced concrete, and the buildings are one after another, densely packed, and even the wind cannot blow in.

New York's iconic Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Krysler Building, MetLife Insurance Building, and many more are concentrated here.

Most of these high-rise buildings are home to the headquarters of Fortune 500 companies.

Most of the commerce, trade, finance, and insurance companies in the United States are located in Manhattan, establishing its image as an international city.

Wall Street, which covers an area of less than 1 square kilometer, is home to dozens of world-renowned banks, insurance companies, stock exchanges and the headquarters of hundreds of large companies.

As a result, Manhattan has been described as "the best place in the world".

People here are influencing the world's economy all the time.

Manhattan as a whole is a narrow strip of land that is divided into three parts—Uptown, Midtown, and Downtown.

Old Joe drove the car into Uptown and parked in the yard of a single-family house.

It's the most family-friendly neighborhood in Manhattan and one of New York's most well-known affluent neighborhoods.

Chen Weidong and Chen Jie are okay, after all, they have seen the world, Li Yun, Xiang Shaohua, and Zhang Zhiyuan are not so determined.

Looking at the neatly repaired lawns and flower beds around them, the private cafés full of capitalist petty atmosphere, and then looking around at the luxurious villas covering an area of more than 200 square meters, their eyes widened.

"Good fellow! How much does that cost?"
