CHAPTER 89: MANHATTAN LOFT
With Zhou Yu's reminder, they didn't meddle in their affairs, and soon, a few people saw the woman wearing a soft hat and carrying a camera, kicking the man in front of her with her leather boots, the other party grinned in pain, leaned down, and then she picked up the leather bag in her hand and smashed it on the other party's head, I don't know what the bag contained, anyway, the big man snorted and fell to the ground.
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Hu Rentian touched his beard and concluded: "This chick is really tough, I like it." β
Zhou Yu carried the suitcase and urged everyone: "Let's go, let's go find Williams's distant cousin first and put things away, and then I will take you around the city." β
"Clark Factory Recruitment~Clark Factory Recruitment~Generous Remuneration, Food, Housing~~ Guys who want to make money look here, buy a car in one year and buy a house in two years, and you can marry a beautiful wife in three years~~~ Once the opportunity is lost, I won't chase you~~~"
In the small square outside the wharf, a man with a bullhorn shouted at the crowd who had just disembarked, and his action really attracted the attention of many gold prospectors who wanted to come to the New World.
"What does your factory do?"
A bystander asked with great interest.
"Production and processing of auto parts, this guy, look at it, our country is also known as the country on wheels, you only need to work here for a year, or even not a year, you can take the corresponding loan to buy a car of your own, look at how magnificent, this is the standard for every successful person, are you interested in working with us?"
"Hey, that sounds good, take me around."
"No problem, please wait here for a while, and then there will be a special car to pull you to the factory, man, I have to say, your vision and choice are unique."
Liu Banxian looked over there with some envy, now they can understand most English words under Zhou Yu's long-term tutelage, and they can also communicate with people simply.
He smacked his lips and said, "Is it that good?" You can buy a car in one year, buy a house in two years, and marry a mother-in-law in three years, which is too exaggerated. β
Zhou Yu put his hand on his shoulder, motioned to move on, and said in a low voice: "Of course it's exaggerated, but it's not impossible, it's different here from London, people like to spend in advance, and there will be a special company to sell a product called car mortgage loan, as long as people who have the intention to buy a car only need to pay a quarter of the original price to buy a car, and the remaining part will be repaid in installments, of course, there will be some interest." β
Hu Rentian was very interested in this topic and leaned over, "Isn't this the same as usury in the past?" β
Liu Banxian glanced at him, moved to the side with some disgust: "What do you mean by usury?" I've never done anything unethical, you're alone. β
The group gathered around the suitcases, and finally walked out of the dock area, standing on the wide but crowded street, and was a little confused for a while.
It is full of skyscrapers, and on the wide roads, private cars drive slowly like a long line.
Even though the weather is still cold, the crowd on the street doesn't seem to feel the cold, and there are even many women who stubbornly wear skirts that show their ankles.
Although they had been shocked by the booming scene of the docks on the deck of the ship just now, they still felt that their eyes were a little insufficient to be in the middle of it at the moment.
"It's immoral, it's really immoral!"
While criticizing the dress style of women in the New World, the fortune teller looked intently at a passing lady and almost hit a street lamp because of it.
"Beep~~Beep~~"
"Hey~ Don't stand on the road like a hillbilly and pull over you stupid pigs!"
A black classic car honked hard behind the group, until everyone flashed to the very edge, and the car flew away amid the constant shouting and scolding of the owner.
"That grandson was scolding us just now?"
Hu Rentian pointed to the car lane with an incredulous expression.
Zhou Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If you follow this speed, we may not be able to reach our destination after dark." β
It was not easy for everyone to take their attention away from those colorful new things, and then they followed behind Zhou Yu at a relatively normal speed.
The group walked for about twenty minutes, and when their necks were already sore, Zhou Yu announced that they would stop resting.
"Williams' cousin works here, and I'm going to see if I can find him."
Zhou Yu looked at a white building with stone pillars on both sides not far in front of him, walked up the steps, and took out the letter under the obstruction of the sentry outside the door.
"My name is Bruce Chow, and I am from London, and I am looking for Mr. Madil Herbert, and I ask you to give him this letter, which is written by his cousin, Williams Herbert."
Zhou Yu deliberately used a tone that only royalty and nobles would use, so that the sentry was stunned when he heard it, although he was puzzled by his eastern face, he still didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent the letter in.
It was the residence of the Commonwealth diplomats in the New World, and Williams's cousin served as military attachΓ© here.
"You're Mr. Bruce Chow? I got a call from my cousin two days earlier, I didn't expect you guys to arrive so soon! β
After a while, a young man with pale yellow hair and a well-defined face walked out of the embassy, with an apologetic smile, perhaps because he was in a hurry, causing fine sweat to break out from the tip of his nose.
He was dressed in a black suit with a silver watch chain hanging from his jacket pocket.
Zhou Yu generously stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party and said, "Hello Mr. Madil Herbert, it's okay to call me Bruce or Mr. Zhou." β
"Williams told me about you, that you were his friend and benefactor, and that he would not have been able to come back alive from the Somme without you."
The young man named Madir was very humble and seemed to have been reminded by Williams before.
"Williams is gracious, we are friends indeed."
Madir glanced at the others behind Zhou Yu, and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Zhou, we have a lot of people, I can only prepare a truck here, and I have to wronged you." β
Zhou Yu waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, the truck is better, we have more luggage." β
Madir had already prepared, and asked Zhou Yu and others to wait at the side gate of the embassy for a while, and a green pickup truck drove over five minutes later.
"Mr. Zhou, I'll take you to the place where you live first, and then hand over some formalities."
Madir is talking about the company procedures for registering in the name of Williams.
"No problem, thank you."
The truck drove out of Embassy Avenue and moved at a constant speed in the flow of traffic, and it took about 20 minutes before it slowly stopped.
The crowd jumped out of the car and began to move their belongings under the car.
Zhou Yu stood in the car and glanced around, and found that the accommodation that Williams had prepared for them should be located in a relatively remote location north of Manhattan.
Of course, this era is relatively remote, and in Zhou Yu's cognition, this is a proper Upper East Side, a rich area in the future.
In front of them is a two-storey house converted from an abandoned factory, with a retro and industrial atmosphere, which is the avant-garde type of house that was later called "LOFT".
The exterior walls of this small two-story building are crawling with vines and plants, but it is not yet spring, and it looks yellow and shriveled.
To the side of the building, there is also a separate car park for up to six cars.
Of course, there are still large open spaces in the front and back courtyards here, but they are neglected and there are no flowers and plants.
Zhou Yumo calculated, it will only take about ten minutes to drive to the city center from here, the transportation is quite convenient, and the follow-up development prospects are excellent.
"Mr. Zhou, are you still satisfied with this place? Williams said don't let me look for too busy sections. β
Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's right, it's very good here, I'm very satisfied." β
Madir saw that Zhou Yu did not have any dissatisfaction, so he was relieved.
