Chapter 294: Calling on Lord Qin Fifth (Part 2)
San Francisco's Chinatown is the largest place in the western United States comparable to New York's Chinatown. There are about 80,000 overseas Chinese living here. What is written and heard here is in Chinese, and what you see here is very traditional Chinese style, just like a small China.
In all the Chinese gathering areas in the world, this is probably the most Chinese flavor here. Li Cong looked at the entrance of the street, as if he had returned to China. The difference is that there are many foreigners in the street. There are none of these above.
The entrance to Chinatown is at the southern end of Grant Street on Bush Street. The gate is covered with green tiles, and several vivid dragons have a Chinese flavor. Grant Street is the main street in the community, densely covered with shops and restaurants, and its gorgeous facades attract tourists and citizens. The China Cultural Center holds various exhibitions on Chinese Americans, and also arranges Chinatown history tours and Chinatown food tours. The Chinese Historical Society tells the history of Chinatown and the difficult years of the Chinese in the United States. Various documents also prove the contribution of the Chinese community to the history of San Francisco. The most interesting neighborhood in Chinatown is Waverly Place. Many of the buildings here were donated by Chinese charitable organizations. Ross Lane is a typical narrow alley hidden deep in the block, and the scent of desserts wafts from the alley from time to time.
While looking at the introduction of Chinatown, Li Cong walked in. I thought it would be difficult for Chinese people to live in a foreign country. Now I see that it is not what I thought. The surrounding antique shops and restaurants are full of people. Foreign devils who want to spend less money and want to appreciate Chinese culture, Li Cong can tell at a glance that the owner of the antique shop over there has fooled the foreign devils with a defective product. I think these guys bullied the Chinese a lot back then. Just let him go up for a while, and it will be regarded as compensation for the loss of the year.
The Tianjin Goubuli buns on the roadside also attracted the attention of many people. Damn, it’s another authentic Tianjin Goubuli buns. When Li Cong went to school in China, he was most afraid of these authentic ones, under the authentic brand Doing unorthodox things is what these profiteers do best, but they are helping the motherland to pay for it. Seeing these stupid foreigners eating is called enthusiasm, Li Cong suddenly wants to What kind of famous food is open here? It seems that every Chinese wants to cheat foreign devils.
Finally, he stopped and walked to the residence of Qin Wuye, a teahouse. This is a small business run by Qin Wuye himself. There are not many people and tables in it. It is not at all obvious that there is a big man living here.
"Objective, you're here, please come inside." The waiter in a coat hurried over to greet Li Cong and his party.
"Little brother, China Li Cong pays respects to Master Qin Wu." Li Cong sent his own post. Although he is not a figure in the world like Qin Wuye, he has to follow the rules of the world to act according to the rules of the world. .
"Fifth Master is inside, please come inside." Xiaoer was stunned for a while, he didn't expect the world's richest man to be such a virtue, although it was a bit majestic, the score was not very big, and the important figures who came here to pay a visit to the master in the past were also Quite a few, but none brought such a few people here, and they were all armed with live ammunition.
After entering the room, Li Cong discovered that the teahouse was really antique. Even in Beijing, it would be difficult to find such an old-fashioned teahouse. Authentic Yixing goods shipped from China, the ancient style reveals nobility.
There are not many guests, and the attendance rate is only about 30%. Almost all of them are foreign devils. I don’t know why Li Cong wanted to laugh when he saw the foreign devils there pretending to smell the tea.
"Mr. Li, Master Wu is upstairs. I still have to greet the guests. You can go up by yourself." Xiao Er didn't take Li Cong up, which meant that it was obvious that you just go up by yourself, and your followers are downstairs Bar.
Xiao Er also served several dishes of snacks and a pot of tea to the followers. Li Cong took a pair of packaged Tang Sancai from Yeke and walked up the wooden stairs.
With a unique sound, it seems that this staircase is also old, and I don't know if it will collapse in a while.
Upstairs there was only an old man in a white gown, no need to ask, this was Fifth Master Qin. Li Cong strode over and bowed slightly, showing the full etiquette of a junior. Huangfuyu is of the same generation, and he is Qingshan's eldest brother, so no matter how much he bends down and bows, he won't be able to escape.
"Fifth Master, hello." Not many words, but the use of honorifics, Qin Wuye has a good body to save face, and now Mr. Li Cong, the richest man in the world, has given him enough face.
"Hehe, it's good for you, sit down, come and taste Longjing for the second time." Li has never drank tea before, or it would be more accurate to say that he doesn't know how to drink tea. This good tea is only the second time. The most delicious thing is that Master Qin Wu has studied the tea ceremony intensively over the years, and he can definitely be called a master.
There are all kinds of tea sets on the table, but a large part of Li Cong cannot be named. After all, his cultural accomplishment is left there. A child who was born and raised in China is not as good as an old man abroad. Let yourself be ashamed, Li Cong took the tea handed over by Qin Wuye, and smelled it first like the foreign devil who was despised just now, it was very fragrant, I don’t know the rest, took it up and drank it, mother, It's no different from making it yourself, but you have to pretend to be very useful.
"Hehe, young people nowadays don't pay much attention to the things left by our ancestors, so I'll call you a good nephew, that's what old man Kong and Huangfu Yu call you, right? The seniority is the same as them, and I can't bury you." Qin Wuye looked at Li Cong and said with a smile, but it is already very good for young people to be perfunctory to the old people nowadays, and Li Cong has done a good job in this regard. alright.
"Hehe, uncle, you call me nephew, it's really embarrassing. I have been in the United States for a while, and some mundane things have dragged me down. Otherwise, I would have come to see my uncle a long time ago. This is a small courtesy, not a respect." Li Cong pushed After looking at the two Tang Sancai on the table, Qin Wuye glanced at the eyes, and there was no change on the surface, but Li Cong's observation was also very subtle, and he could clearly see a smile in the corner of Wuye's eyes, which seemed to be the same. K is right.
Qin Wuye knew about these two Tang Sancai a long time ago, and he had already entrusted someone to buy them. Who knew that Christie's suddenly announced that they would not sell them. It turned out that they were bought by this kid. The price was clear to him, and it was listed at the auction. A price of tens of millions is definitely possible. I have nothing to do with Li Cong. He just gave such a heavy gift when he came up. Do you have anything to ask me, an old man?
"Nephew, you're welcome. I'm a half-buried person, and I'm sorry to bother you. Come and have a cup of tea with me, an old man. Don't bring such expensive gifts. Stay at home for a light meal at night. I like to be lively when I grow up. Everything in the past is just passing by. At my age, I just drink tea and go shopping. You juniors have little contact with each other. In the evening, I will introduce you to the children of your generation in the United States. You guys, the world will belong to you in the future." It can be seen that Qin Wuye is very happy, otherwise he would not have told Li Cong these things, within five minutes of meeting, Qin Wuye has already regarded Li Cong as a junior of his own.
"That's natural. I'll bother you tonight. I will come to the United States often in the future, and I also need some business friends. In the future, I will have to ask Mr. Qin to forgive me." Li Cong climbed up the pole. We are the last one to do such a thing Good at it.
At this time, some big names among the Chinese aristocrats on the west coast of the United States were also confessing to their children that they were going to attend Qin Wuye’s banquet at night. Qin Wuye sent a message, this time mainly for the juniors. Opportunities for communication, so the old people don't come here, of course they know who Qin Wuye is, his old man's treats are even rarer than a total solar eclipse, so naturally they have to let their children to support this event, and the protagonist tonight He is still the richest man in the world, and everyone is a businessman, so he naturally understands the great business opportunities tonight.
Even Qin Wuye's youngest daughter, who is the least motivated, has rushed back from Hollywood. She said she was making a movie there, but she is actually a low-level role. If Qin Wuye is willing to pay for her, she will probably be a first-line movie star now. However, Qin Wuye was too well educated in ancient China and believed that movie stars were actors. Not only did he not give her a chance to develop, but on the contrary, when the opportunity came, he found someone to eliminate it. This made the relationship between the father and daughter reach a freezing point.
The third lady went home tonight not because of her father's face, but because she felt that the world's richest man would definitely be interested in entering Hollywood. It happened that there was another good movie in hand, and the producer promised himself that as long as he raised money With an investment of 20 million U.S. dollars, I can go abroad as the second female lead. I believe that Li Cong, who is new here, will definitely not understand what his father means. I just need to open my mouth and think that the richest man in the world will not be so stingy.
