Chapter 169: The Philadelphia World's Fair
"Tony really thanks you so much this time, according to your prompt, I interrogated the clerk, and sure enough, he secretly found an X woman to fool around in 302 last night, so he didn't appear in the register, and he was afraid that the boss would scold him, so he didn't say it, but he didn't want to think about it, so he almost killed Mother Madeleine for his own selfishness!" Sheriff Klein said angrily.
"Uh, did you find this blonde X girl?" Monet asked, diverting the subject.
Sheriff Klein nodded and replied, "Found it, her testimony also proves the nun's innocence!" ”
"That's good!" Monet breathed a sigh of relief.
"So I really have to thank you this time!"
Monet waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me, this time it's Michael who discovered the flaw, you should thank him!" ”
The First Clan
"Isn't that what you taught well?"
Monet explained: "Actually, Michael is better than me now, because he is not as busy as me and can devote his energy to this, and he is also interested, so you can find him if there is this kind of portrait work in the future, he really can't get it, I will appear again!" ”
"I know this, so you see that I haven't looked for you much in more than half a year, it's really too important this time!"
"I see what you mean!"
After seeing off Sheriff Klein, Nicole suddenly walked over to Monet and said, "Tony, do you have any plans for next week?" ”
"No, what's wrong?" Monet replied casually.
"Then let's go to Philadelphia to see the World Expo, it is said that this time it will be held very grandly!" Nicole suggested.
"Aren't you afraid that another psychopathic killer will come out this time?" Monet teased.
Monet's reference to the psychopathic killer is Howard Holmes, the innkeeper who killed people in a series at the previous World Expo in Chicago!
This guy is said to have killed more than 200 people, and most of them were young and beautiful girls, and what is even more sensational is that this dignified gentleman is actually a serial murderer with a necrophilia. After sucking the target into the hotel, he went along with a series of murders and autopsies. After having had enough of his necrophilia, he made a fortune by selling organs such as organs or skeletons to medical institutions or the black market.
Although Monet had heard of this serial psychopathic murderer before the crossing, it was far less detailed and varied than what he heard this time......
For a while, Monet didn't know which version was correct, and even wondered if the version he heard before crossing was true, after all, this situation often happens, and history is a little girl who can be dressed up.
Just when Monet's mind was full of cranky thoughts, Nicole hammered him and said coquettishly: "How can there be so many perverted murderers!" Do you think you're going to go or not? ”
Monet nodded without hesitation this time and replied: "Go, of course I want to go, in fact, I wanted to go last time I was in San Francisco!" ”
"That's pretty much it, so I'm going to ask Catherine if they're going?" With that, Nicole left satisfied.
In fact, the reason why Monet agreed so happily this time was that he really wanted to go, and secondly, because Chen Yuanqi told him yesterday that China would also participate in the exhibition this time.
Just when Chen Yuanqi was waiting for the ship in Shanghai, he saw Sun Chuanfang announce in the "Declaration" that he would gather the strength of the five southeastern provinces to collect items to represent China to participate in the Philadelphia World Expo, and set up an exhibits management committee in Shanghai at the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, and appointed Xu Lanshu, director of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Industry, as the chairman of the management committee, and Yu Qiaqing, president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, as the vice president, specifically responsible for collecting and receiving exhibits from the five southeastern provinces.
After successfully completing the collection of exhibits, the exhibits collected from all over the world were concentrated in Shanghai, and the selection of exhibits was finally completed, and then loaded and shipped to the United States for exhibition.
In fact, as early as 1916, the mayor of Philadelphia proposed that 1926, the 150th anniversary of American independence, should be celebrated specially. In 1921, Mayor Moore of Philadelphia officially offered to host a World's Fair. (There is no time interval limit for the Expo.) )
On March 29, 1925, U.S. President Coolidge extended an invitation to the world, declaring that the goal of the World's Fair was to "demonstrate the progress of the United States and other nations in the arts, sciences, industry, and commerce, and the exploitation of human products for air, soil, minerals, forests, and the sea."
Monet and his entourage did not arrive on the day of the opening, in fact, fortunately they did not go on the same day, because it is said that 55,000 people bought tickets to visit that day, and another 27,000 people entered for free, so you can imagine how crowded it was.
There are five pavilions at the Expo. The first is the Liberty Palace of Art and Manufacturing, where all American exhibits are exhibited, and where leading companies in various industries in the United States set up exhibits to showcase the latest technologies and products.
The second is the Palace of Agriculture and Foreign Exhibitions, which is mainly the official exhibition area set up by the participating countries, and there are also some exhibitions by American companies and famous foreign companies.
The third is the U.S. Government and the Machinery Transport Palace, which is mainly a U.S. government exhibition, but also some American companies set up exhibitions here.
The fourth is the Palace of Education and Socio-Economic Economy, which focuses on education in the United States and other participating countries.
The fifth is the Palae Arts, which showcases paintings, sculptures, gouaches, photographs and more from various participating countries.
Monet and his entourage mainly went to the Dupont exhibition area and the China Pavilion, the common porcelain, lacquerware, tea, silk naturally attracted a lot of visitors, but what really aroused Monet's amazement was the Chinese typewriter of the Commercial Press, which is absolutely made in China, because foreigners would never think of doing this kind of thing, until now in the minds of many foreigners Chinese keyboard is super huge and complicated...... (You can search the network map.) )
The other is that the "Buddha Hand brand monosodium glutamate" of Shanghai Tianchu MSG Factory actually won the first prize, in fact, this completely shows that China's industry can do a good job, but the subsequent outbreak of war has led to the destruction and obstruction of the development of the national asset industry.
Just when Monet was emotional, Michael dragged him and said excitedly: "Teacher Monet, let's go watch the boxing champion Dempsey's match, okay?" ”
"There is a boxing match at the World Expo?" Monet asked in surprise.
Michael nodded and replied, "Not only boxing, but also football, baseball, golf, handball, cycling, jet skiing, swimming, tennis, rowing and marathon, all of which were medalists from last year's Olympics!"
By the way, this time it was Jean Tenny who challenged boxing champion Jack Dempsey, and there was a box office of more than one million! ”
PS: I recommend the newly met author friend Fireworks Ruo's "Crossing the Song Dynasty as a Prince", which is already 550,000 words and can be slaughtered!
