Chapter 423 Tipping Culture, Special Task Force

Chen Xuan looked at his "masterpiece" expressionlessly.

It's really nice to act recklessly.

But he didn't really want to destroy the world as Su Xing wanted.

Blue Star is his base camp.

It can be regarded as his mother's home in the other world.

Because of this, Chen Xuan can't vent violence to his heart's content.

Moreover, violence itself is not his ultimate goal.

Many people worship the motherland, thinking that it is the ultimate portrayal of human nature.

But the fact is just the opposite.

All you get after acting recklessly is emptiness.

Moreover, the fellow motherland, apart from his superpowers, his temperament is also different from that of ordinary people.

How many ordinary people are Lianmu?

It can't be said that there are none, but it can be said that there are only a handful.

It is abnormal to measure abnormality with abnormality.

Even if most people get superpowers, they don't have the idea of ​​destroying the world.

After the world is destroyed, he will be lonely.

Even the destruction itself is the same.

Recklessness is short-lived, but loneliness is eternal.

Just as Chen Xuan was watching the news and thinking about the situation.

The special cocktail he ordered was ready.

This was the fifth glass he drank today.

Even the top-notch wine that could make him lose his virginity could not make him feel drunk.

He naturally picked up the glass and drank half of it in one breath.

Such a large amount of wine attracted attention.

Even the bartender of Dabotao could not help but look at him several more times.

Those who can consume on the third floor are basically upper-class.

This level is already very good in America.

Six years ago, the Pew Research Center in America showed that.

52% of American adults can be classified as middle-class families with an annual income of US$78,442.

19% of American families are defined as upper class.

And 29% of families are lower class.

The average income of upper-class families is US$187,872.

The average income of the lower class is US$25,624.

Of course, there are also ranges in the upper class, with annual incomes ranging from $200,000 to millions of dollars.

The purchasing power of the upper class has always been strong.

In America, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year is definitely the upper class.

But it can't be compared with the elite class.

This is the usual problem of capitalist society, dividing classes by assets.

This is particularly obvious in America, which is the capital base of the world.

Chen Xuan's dress, temperament, and even drinking posture make him the most handsome guy present.

In many corners where the lights can't reach the forehead, there are intermittent panting sounds.

The melodious music can't cover these movements.

But most people are accustomed to it.

If it's not for fun, who would come to a gentleman's club?

Strictly speaking, there is no essential difference between the lower three floors.

There are only slight differences in the amount and quality.

And the music on each floor is different.

The first floor is the most affordable, so the music is explosive and the drinks are spicy.

The girls wandering there are straightforward and never shy, but get straight to the point.

It is a place with no pomp, but it is a good place to have fun.

The second floor is slightly more upscale, the music is still powerful, but no longer harsh, it has become quite sophisticated, there is a dedicated resident DJ who is responsible for adjusting the music according to the atmosphere.

Even the lighting is no exception.

The third floor has soothing music, like a music restaurant and bar.

Although there is also a pole stage, it is not open during the day.

Of course, the club itself is open 24 hours a day.

Most customers don't stay that long.

Basically, they will leave after drinking a few drinks and choosing the right girl.

The actual performances inside the gentleman's club may vary according to state laws, local laws, club regulations and the performance of each dancer.

The only common point is that there will be no outrageous behavior in the venue.

There are not many gentleman's clubs in Virginia.

Peanutton District allows spectators to watch drag dancers on the stage, but not to touch them.

On the other hand, Baltimore, Maryland allows more exciting lap dancing.

But the standard starting charge for a lap dance is $20.

The girl will tug on the lap.

The exact amount of tug varies depending on the club's rules.

During the performance, the client must be fully clothed.

In some places, limited tugs are allowed.

For example, the clubs in Las Vegas are larger and more luxurious, but also more crowded.

Of course, the quality of the dancers is also higher.

The clubs make more than just the entrance fee, the drinks inside are more expensive.

In addition, there is the dancer's commission.

In order to perform there, the dancers need to pay the club owner.

Therefore, tipping the dancers is very important.

In addition, there is the personal income that is taken out, which is also the reason why those dancers are willing to look for targets and leave contact information.

If the dancers sit next to them, they hope that the client will buy them drinks.

The drinks will probably be expensive, and there is also a fee for chatting.

After the private dance, you must tip generously, especially if you think the experience is good.

However, some dancers will provide poor service, so no tip is required.

In addition, the waiter who delivers the drinks should also be tipped.

If you sit near the stage, you have to tip every dancer who comes out.

If you sit near the bar, you have to tip the bartender.

This is the tipping culture in America. In most service places, not tipping is considered a shame. Although there is no explicit requirement, it is also a customary rule.

In addition, in some places, dancers will go to everyone to ask for tips after each song.

In summary, it is tips, tips, and tips.

Even the most ordinary first floor of the club costs hundreds of dollars.

After talking about gentlemen's clubs, there are naturally ladies' clubs.

There are men who perform for ladies to watch.

It's just that the number of such clubs is far less than that of gentlemen's clubs.

Maybe it's because of the language plug-in, he can now easily adapt to and understand the various local cultures.

"Hey, brother."

"Why are you drinking alone?"

At this time, a guy wearing gold-rimmed glasses and exuding the words of a gentleman's villain came to Chen Xuan's side.

He is also a customer.

Many people pay a relatively high entrance fee to come to the third floor not to have fun, but to expand their network.

Xiaguo has a drinking table culture.

Many people regard it as dregs.

In fact, America and its relatives in Europe also have corresponding club cultures.

Basically, the soup is changed but the medicine remains the same, and it has become just a form and a statement.

Chen Xuan glanced lazily and stirred the ice cubes at the bottom with a straw in his hand.

He drank half of the colorful special cocktail in one breath, and then stirred it randomly, and all the colors were mixed together.

"Sir, has no one told you that it is very impolite to disturb a lonely drinker?"

He said in a casual tone.

This made the man with gold-rimmed glasses startled, but soon he put on a warmer smile.

"Apologize for my rudeness first."

After that, he raised his glass and drank the half cup of brown wine in his hand.

Chen Xuan smiled without comment.

"Come on, what's the matter?"

"I'm not a hot girl, I can't attract men for no reason."

Hearing his words, the man with gold-rimmed glasses tilted his head slightly.

"Of course it's a good thing."

"Mind sitting over there?"

He pointed to a seat in the corner.

Chen Xuan shrugged his shoulders at this, anyway, he was free.

Chen Xuan wanted to see what this guy was up to.

When he stood up, he waved to the plump bartender.

The female bartender immediately walked over with a slender step.

"Snap!"

The next moment, the tight uniform button fell off.

She was about to get angry because it was an offensive behavior.

Chen Xuan took out a stack of big knife music and stuffed it directly into the mountain wallet.

That stack was at least five thousand dollars.

This was a very generous tip.

The female bartender was excited and quickly took out a business card from the pocket behind her.

Of course, she also has extra time, but she won't be too proactive and only devotes herself to those luxurious guests.

Today, Chen Xuan has perfectly met her requirements.

Accepted the thin and simple business card, which only had a phone number and a pseudonym on it.

Chen Xuan picked it up and put the business card into his pocket under the seductive eyes of the bartender.

Seeing him tipping.

The eyes of the young man with gold-rimmed glasses became more eager.

This kind of person is either a broker or a "financial expert" who is engaged in a Ponzi scheme.

In big cities, this kind of person is very common.

The interest is basically the same as that of a movie bomber.

Chen Xuan still has an indifferent attitude.

You can cheat as much as you want, he will remain unchanged in the face of all changes!

So he followed the young man's steps and walked to the seat in the corner with his hands in his pockets.

...

At the same time, in the office of Baigong's "Blue Star Mysterious Special Response Team".

The investigation report and summary materials of the suspected extraordinary attack incident outside Peanutton were placed on the table of the team members.

Including the driver's flaming self-destruction and the Russian words he shouted.

All became important evidence.

Michael Brent was once the ace agent of the FIB.

He specializes in serious crime investigations in the United States.

He also worked in the International Criminal Police Organization.

He has solved many major cases that are internationally famous.

He has handled more than 300 serious criminal cases.

You should know that there are only a few cases that can be classified as serious criminal cases in America every year.

He has a very keen sense of criminal investigation.

In addition, the team also has experts in many fields.

Including criminal psychologists, behavioral psychology experts, and information experts with the strongest brains, who are responsible for summarizing all information and finding suspicious places.

After about half an hour of reviewing the information and comparing the reports on hand.

They all came to their own conclusions.

Next, an urgent discussion will be held.

Finally, the office team will write a report and submit it directly to the general barrel.

This report will play an important reference role in the general barrel's next decision.

So we must be cautious, and again cautious.

After a few minutes of silence, Michael Brent spoke first.

"Everyone, based on my experience."

"This is definitely not something a bear would do."

"It's more like a joke."

"The last sentence in Russian was purely misleading."

"I have to say, this is a very poor performance of blaming others."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old doctor sitting on the other side, wearing a blue plaid shirt, a newsboy cap, and a gray hair on his temples, raised his hand.

This person is Habiborah Jensen, who came to Stanford University.

He has a tenured professorship.

His main research direction is behavioral psychology.

"I agree with Mike."

"Just now I checked all the relevant surveillance and filming footage at the time of the incident."

"The other party has no clear motive, it's more like..."

He paused here, as if he was thinking of the right adjective.

"More like playing?"

At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a turtleneck sweater sitting on the other side added.

"Yes, yes, it's playing!"

Habiborah Jensen gave her an approving look.

And then he continued to speak excitedly.

"So it's definitely not the bear."

"Although the bear has obtained the supernatural method, the number of supernatural individuals it has cultivated is very limited."

"It will never be wasted on such boring things."

"It's better to put all the chips on the diplomatic negotiation table."

"At least we can get substantial benefits."

"And the meaningless attack has no effect except to anger us."

Michael Brent narrowed his eyes and listened patiently to the old professor's opinion.

Everyone present was smart and could basically analyze a lot from the clues.

Michael Brent said after a slight pause.

"The bear can be ruled out."

"Then the most likely person to do this is the Blue Star Mysterious Man."

Everyone stopped talking.

Or bowed their heads, or frowned, and each of them began to think.

...

More than an hour later.

This report drafted by the office was sent to the table of the general barrel.

The report was not thick, but the content was not optimistic.

The Blue Star Mysterious Man seemed to show hostility and intention to provoke war.

This conclusion makes people imagine.

Since some time ago, the president's health has been deteriorating and he has been unable to perform his duties.

Now there are deputy barrels to do things on behalf of the barrel.

Kalama Harris, the iron lady, is under great pressure every day.

Especially now, the new election period is coming.

The major financial groups are undercurrents.

Texas has started to jump around again.

The overseas situation is not good either.

Add to that the mysterious Blue Star man, which makes Kalama in deep anxiety every day.

It took more than ten minutes to read the report.

She frowned.

The identity of the mysterious Blue Star man is sensitive.

So what? So what if he is not?

They have no way to deal with him!

Recently, some bold and radical organizations have provided various plans to deal with the mysterious Blue Star man.

But the feasibility is not high.

The risk is too great.

No one dares to make a decision.

On the other hand, those financial group bosses also covet extraordinary power.

This is something that wealth cannot buy.

Extraordinary physique, coupled with boundless wealth and power.

This is what those big guys really pursue.

In comparison, everything else can be considered compromise. (End of this chapter)
