Chapter 643: First time on Wall Street

New York, Manhattan, Wall Street.
If you only look at the street itself, this road is only 11 meters wide and 500 meters long. In a world-class prosperous metropolis like New York, it is really a small, humble alley.
However, on both sides of this slightly narrow street, there are the headquarters of the New York Stock Exchange, the National Stock Exchange, major investment banks, various funds, trust companies, the Federal Reserve Bank, various utilities and insurance companies, and The headquarters of large companies such as banks, insurance, railways, shipping, mining, and manufacturing established by large consortia such as Rockefeller and Morgan have also made this street a financial and securities trading center in the United States and the world.
Because of this, Wall Street has become synonymous with monopoly capital. From here, monopoly capital dominates the politics and economy of the U.S. and influences the world.
Tan Zhenhua arrived here, but was not in a hurry to do other things, but took Lin Shuangxi, who came with him this time, with great interest to start wandering.
Lin Shuangxi, Lu Jiangang, and Zhang Xiaohua arrived in San Francisco three days ago, and they immediately contacted Tan Zhenhua, and under his arrangement, they found a place to temporarily settle in San Francisco’s Chinatown.
In addition to Tan Zhenhua, Li Yanan also welcomed the arrival of these three people. After all, Lin Shuangxi and Zhang Xiaohua of the three have fought side by side with him in Myanmar, especially Lin Shuangxi, they are both real. I don't know each other anymore. This time I have the opportunity to meet again thousands of miles away. Naturally, it is a good time to have a good affection, and set an agreement to find time to discuss again.
Because he felt that there would be no danger in coming to New York this time, Tan Zhenhua just called Lin Shuangxi to go with him, and let Lu Jiangang and his wife stay in San Francisco. On the one hand, they need to buy something to settle down, on the other hand, they also need to smoke. Time to solve their own language problems-you can't always do everything with Tan Zhenhua as the "boss" to help them translate when you go out in the future?
Wall Street in the early 1980s was of course crowded, but Tan Zhenhua was a little disappointed and regretful that he did not find one of the signs of Wall Street-the big bronze bull with a strong body and shiny nostrils.
However, this only shows that Xiao Tan Tan still lacks in-depth understanding of the United States, because the famous big bronze bull will not be moved here secretly by its designer Di Modica until 1989.
If you can't find it, forget it. After all, there is still business to be done. Tan Zhenhua and Lin Shuangxi came to their destination-in front of a towering skyscraper at 40 Wall Street.
Lin Shuangxi looked up at this tall building, and couldn't help but sighed: "It's so tall, those people who live on the top, I'm afraid they won't have to stay in the clouds every day."
Tan Zhenhua also looked up at the sky that was obscured by a group of tall buildings, and then smiled: "It is quite tall, but it is not the tallest building in New York. The twin towers of the World Trade Center are only called tall—but that's not counted. What, tall buildings, this kind of man-made reinforced concrete forest will be very depressed if you stay in it for a long time. If you want me to say, it's only comfortable to live in a place with mountains and water."
Lin Shuangxi curled his lips and said: "I said Zhenhua, is this purely comprehensible? There are also good places with mountains and rivers. You will know what it's like when you go to our Burmese jade base for a few days. , There are mountains and waters there, but I bet you will have to cry and go home to find your mother if you don’t live for three days-don’t say anything else, just that slapped mosquitoes are around you all day, can’t you bear it ?"
After hearing this, Tan Zhenhua immediately stopped and looked up at the sky: "Huh? The sky was still clear just now. Why did the sky get dark?"
Lin Shuangxi stopped to look at the sky when he heard the words, and then asked doubtfully: "Why, why do I look at the sky still blue?
Tan Zhenhua replied solemnly: "It's obviously black, why didn't you see it? Oh, it seems that something is flying in the sky, blocking the sky."
Lin Shuangxi continued to look up at the sky, while still looking around: "Fuck Zhenhua, the more you talk, the more mysterious you are. What can block the sky, why can't I see anything? Zhenhua, you are not dazzled, right? ?"
Tan Zhenhua continued to replied solemnly: "Can't you see such a big thing? Oh, I can see clearly, it's a cow flying in the sky!"
Lin Shuangxi was happy when he heard it, and pointed to Tan Zhenhua: "You just opened your mouth when you were talking nonsense. There are still cows flying in the sky, and the cows don't have wings. How can they fly into the sky?"
Tan Zhenhua continued to sternly said: "Because you are blowing on the ground!"
"...Fuck, you kid is teasing me!"
"Where did I tease you? Brother Shuangxi, when did you catch a slapped mosquito and open my eyes, please."
Lin Shuangxi raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay, I'm wrong, my little ancestor, your mouth is more difficult than the Bo Tao brothers!"
Tan Zhenhua laughed loudly and said, "Brother Double Happiness, I'm joking with you, let's go upstairs and let you experience the feeling of standing on the clouds!"
...
"Oh, my dear Tan, welcome, welcome, I am so happy to meet you!"
The elevator reached the 69th floor and stopped. As soon as the door opened, Tan Zhenhua saw a silver-white-haired 50-year-old man approaching him with open arms.
Tan Zhenhua also smiled, and opened his arms to greet him: "Mr. Soros, I am also very happy to see you!"
The two hugged each other lightly, patted each other on the shoulders to show the friendship and intimacy with each other, and then separated and shook hands with each other vigorously. Soros said, "Go, Eric, go to me. In the office, I heard Jacob say that you like black tea? It just so happens that I have some treasures from the Ceylon Heights here. I hope you will like it."
Tan Zhenhua smiled and said: "Mr. Soros, this little hobby of mine has been remembered by you, and you are so caring-but to be honest, I have been coveting Uwo tea for a long time, and I have waited. It’s too late to run to your office."
Soros laughed and said: "Eric, from you I feel my lost youth and vitality, go, I will lead you over."
Tan Zhenhua was held by Soros and walked forward. Lin Shuangxi was about to follow, but Tan Zhenhua waved at him and smiled: "Brother Shuangxi, you can relax here. It's okay. Mr. Soros and I need to do some privacy. Conversation."
Then he turned to Soros and said, "Mr. Soros, can I arrange a place to rest for my companion? Oh, yes, he doesn't speak English well."
Soros nodded and said to a beautiful young woman who should be a secretary next to him: "Judy, find a comfortable place for my friend’s companion to rest. I remember you seem to be able to speak a few words in Chinese. Right? Take care of him."
Judy answered, then greeted Lin Shuangxi in very blunt Chinese and led him there, while Tan Zhenhua followed Soros into a huge office.
Soros first greeted Tan Zhenhua and asked him to visit it casually, and he really took out a set of blue and white porcelain tea sets and started making tea. Taking advantage of this effort, Tan Zhenhua went to the window and looked far away.
Outside the window, the sparkling New York Harbor has a panoramic view.
