Chapter 3891 3893 [Money Makes the World Go Round]

Xiang Nan took a plane to San Francisco, USA, and reported to Stanford University.

Then he took advantage of Saturday and Sunday to go to Las Vegas.

He brought a total of 20,000 US dollars to the United States this time. After paying tuition and accommodation fees, he basically had no money left, so he urgently needed to make some money for his life and investment.

And there is no place better than Las Vegas for him to make quick money.

So Xiang Nan rushed there, and after changing his appearance and makeup, he went to several of the largest entertainment venues, such as Venice, Little Paris, Caesar Palace, MGM Hotel, etc.

The reason for changing his appearance and makeup is that he knows that the major entertainment venues in Las Vegas are relatively shady. If it is just a small profit, they don’t care. But if they make too much, they will do something black.

They will monitor every guest who wins money. If they find any suspiciousness in them, they will immediately take measures to kill them. Not only will they beat the guest violently, take back the chips he won, but they will even send him to prison.

There are similar plots in Hollywood movies such as "Ocean's Eleven", "Casino Tycoon", and "Blackjack", and many of them are adapted from real people and real events.

Xiang Nan wants to make a fortune in Las Vegas. He wants to make at least five million dollars, not a small amount of money like ten thousand or twenty thousand.

It is hard not to arouse people's vigilance with so much money. Even if Xiang Nan is a first-class martial artist and is not afraid of retaliation by them, they can still put him on the blacklist and not allow him to enter their entertainment venues.

It is not impossible that they may even use the power of the police to arrest or repatriate him. So Xiang Nan changed his appearance to avoid trouble.

And his level of disguise is unparalleled in the world.

After all, he learned the art of disguise from Azhu in the world of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and from Tang Mi in the world of "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li", and there are also records of the art of disguise in "The Mirror of Love for Flowers"... In addition, he can also change his appearance through supernatural powers, and he is not afraid of being seen through.

Therefore, Xiang Nan changed his identity more than a dozen times, and took advantage of Saturday and Sunday to make 5 million US dollars in Las Vegas, earning the first pot of gold after coming to the United States.

...

Then, Xiang Nan invested the money in the stock market.

In 1983, the US stock market was booming, and the S&P 500 index doubled in five years, and it did not plummet until the stock market crash in 1987. So for Xiang Nan, this was a great opportunity to make money.

While investing, he asked a lawyer to help him get a US green card. As the saying goes, money makes the devil work. Xiang Nan is now a multi-millionaire, so it is not difficult for him to apply for a green card.

After all, the United States has always adopted a pragmatic policy towards immigration. As long as you are willing to invest, you can apply for a green card. What's more, Xiang Nan is not only willing to invest, but also a graduate student at Stanford University.

Stanford University is one of the most famous universities in the United States. Being able to study for a master's degree in this school is already an outstanding talent. For such people, the United States naturally opens its arms.

Therefore, at the end of 1983, Xiang Nan successfully obtained a US green card, and then applied for his spouse Qiaogu to reunite in the United States.

…

In early 1984, Qiaogu came to the United States.

Xiang Nan drove to the airport to meet her in person.

"Qiaogu~" Xiang Nan waved to Qiaogu at the exit.

"Daguang~" Qiaogu was also very excited to see Xiang Nan again.

Xiang Nan had been gone for half a year, and she really missed him.

"Let's go home first." Xiang Nan smiled, took her gift, and took her to his car.

"Whose car is this?" Qiaogu was surprised to see this.

"Of course it's mine." Xiang Nan smiled.

"Wow, you have your own car?" Qiaogu said in disbelief. There were only a few cars in Yiwu, and even Qiu Yingjie, the office director, was not qualified to ride in a car.

"It's common to have cars in the United States. A family has several cars." Xiang Nan explained, "It's not uncommon to have a car. I will buy you one later."

"You want me to drive, how can I?" Qiaogu was shocked when she heard it.

"Hey, if you don't know how to do it, you can learn it. No one is born with it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "Besides, we live in the suburbs, more than ten miles away from the city center. If you don't know how to drive, you can't move at all."

"Live so far away?" Qiaogu said in surprise.

Their Chenjia Town is only seven or eight miles away from the center of Yiwu County, which is already far away. I didn't expect Xiang Nan to live farther away from the city center. It seems that he really has a hard time in the United States.

"You don't understand. Now rich people in the United States like to live in the suburbs." Xiang Nan explained with a smile, "No one likes to live in the city center."

"Why?" Qiaogu asked puzzledly.

"Because the city center is often more chaotic." Xiang Nan smiled, "The United States developed early and was very prosperous in the last century, so many buildings in the city center are decades old, and the supporting facilities are relatively old.

Therefore, the rich people move to the suburbs and live in new houses in the suburbs. In this way, the houses in the city center begin to depreciate and are gradually occupied by many poor people, and there are many vagrants. Therefore, the city center is often more chaotic, more dirty, and the crime rate is also very high."

"So that's the case." Qiaogu nodded.

...

As he spoke, Xiang Nan had already driven the car to his home.

This was a middle-class residential area, where each house cost more than $100,000. Such prices eliminated the poor in disguise.

The house Xiang Nan bought has two floors, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a garage, and a garden... It's still very beautiful.

Of course, with Xiang Nan's wealth, he can afford a better house.

Because he has now turned his $15 million capital into $300 million through stock market investment. Even in the United States, he is a top figure.

But he has to take Qiaogu's feelings into consideration. If she lives in a mansion covering hundreds of acres and has dozens or hundreds of servants to serve her as soon as she comes to the United States, Qiaogu will definitely not accept it.

So it's better to take it step by step, let her live in this suburban community first, and then move to a mansion after she gets used to it, so it's safer. Besides, for the two of them, such a big house is actually enough.

"Look, this is our home." Xiang Nan smiled.

"It's so beautiful." Qiaogu looked at her new home and said with stars in her eyes.

Their house in Yiwu cost 20,000 yuan to build, which is already a unique house in Yiwu. The outside is covered with cement and tiles. But it is still far inferior to this house.

The exterior of this house is very beautiful, with red tiles and yellow walls, hidden among the trees. When you go inside, you can see that the floor is all tiled, shiny.

And the sofa, table and chairs, cabinets, TV, refrigerator, washing machine, etc. are all available, making Qiaogu dazzled.
