Chapter 588 Yang Chen bought too much gold and was misunderstood by the police
·
Yun Zhong Jun Wang
Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi left the store under the gossipy gazes of the store clerks.
Wang Jiayi took Yang Chen's arm and said, "I won't drive anymore. I'll take your car."
Yang Chen: "How about I drive your car. Your classmates may look down on you when they see me driving a ride-hailing car."
Wang Jiayi: "Impossible. She and I were college roommates, and in my impression she is not the kind of person who hates poverty and loves wealth. My Z4 has a little space, so I might as well drive your SUV. I can take them with me when I go out in the afternoon. There’s no need for them to take a taxi.”
Yang Chen nodded and drove his JAC car.
Not long after, Yang Chen brought Wang Jiayi to the Marriott Hotel.
Standing at the door of the hotel was a girl with stern eye makeup, and a black man standing next to her.
Wang Jiayi leaned forward and stared at the girl for a few seconds, as if she was not sure.
She took out her cell phone and made a call. Soon the girl's cell phone rang, and she took out her cell phone to answer the call.
"It's really her! Why did she look like this?" Wang Jiayi said to herself, quickly hung up the phone and got out of the car and walked over.
"Wang Li! Haha...Long time no see!" Wang Jiayi shouted.
The girl with stern eyes put away her cell phone, spread her arms and faced him.
It's not that Yang Chen is discriminating against anyone, he really doesn't want Wang Jiayi to hug Wang Li.
According to Yang Chen's own wishes, he definitely didn't want to get out of the car and say hello.
However, in order not to embarrass Wang Jiayi, he still got out of the car and said hello to Wang Li.
Wang Jiayi: "Wang Li, let me introduce to you, he is my boyfriend Yang Chen. Dear, this is my college roommate Wang Li. When we graduated from the Urban Management College, she went abroad and I came to Hainan. I work in the city, and this separation lasts 10 years."
Yang Chen: "Hello, Miss Wang."
Wang Li: "Jiayi, your boyfriend is very handsome. Let me introduce you to my boyfriend. His name is David Mills. He is a senior analyst at Goldman Sachs, a famous Wall Street investment bank."
Someone from Goldman Sachs?
Yang Chen is now inexplicably wary of Wall Street investment banks. Doesn't David Mills have some mission in Dragon Country?
Yang Chen quickly stepped forward and blocked Wang Jiayi behind him because he saw Mills wanting to hug Wang Jiayi.
Yang Chen: "Come on, Mr. Mills, give me a hug. You foreigners seem to like to say hello like this."
David Mills laughed loudly, hugged Yang Chen, and said, "Hello, Mr. Yang. Nice to meet you."
Yang Chen: "Well, I'm glad to meet you too. Does Mr. Mills have a younger brother in the Dragon Kingdom?"
David Mills: "Yeah! How did you know that?"
Yang Chen: "Because I think you look like a black friend I just met at the Peninsula Hotel. Maybe it's because I haven't met too many foreigners. At first glance, you all look the same."
David Mills: "Haha...my brother is indeed in Haicheng. He was idle all day in China and had nothing to do, so Lili suggested that he come to Longguo to work as a foreign teacher at the university. He is now a foreign teacher at the College of Economics and Trade, leading students every day Watching foreign movies, learning a few eagle words, working easily, and earning a salary of 2 yuan a month, he can live a very good life in the Dragon Kingdom, at least it is better than living idle on the streets all day in China."
Yang Chen: "Oh, that's it. Let's go and eat."
Yang Chen walked in front, and Wang Jiayi and the other three followed behind.
Wang Li saw the word "Beep" spray-painted on Yang Chen's car, and immediately showed a disgusted expression.
"Jiayi, is your boyfriend an online ride-hailing driver?" Wang Li asked.
Wang Jiayi: "That's not really true. He usually goes online to ride-hailing to kill time when he has time. In fact, he has other jobs."
Wang Li smiled and nodded with a look of disgust, then turned around and said to David Mills in eagle language: "My dear, just take his ride-hailing ride for a while."
David Mills shrugged and said, "Okay."
Wang Jiayi opened the rear door and asked Wang Li and David Mills to get in the car.
After the two got into the car, Wang Jiayi closed the door and got into the passenger seat.
As an old classmate, Wang Jiayi is very competent.
"Wang Li, what do you want to eat?" Wang Jiayi asked.
Wang Li started chatting with David Mills in Eagle Language again. After the two of them discussed it, Wang Li asked: "Jiayi, we often eat at Michelin three-star restaurants in the United States. Is there a Michelin three-star restaurant here?"
Wang Jiayi: "Yes! Tang Ge, Tang Ge is a three-star Michelin restaurant. My dear, go to Tang Ge."
Yang Chen nodded and immediately set off to Tang Pavilion.
Along the way, Wang Jiayi and Wang Li talked about many past events.
But as we chatted, something seemed wrong.
Wang Li: "I told you back then, graduates from our three schools couldn't find good jobs at all. The biggest shortage in big cities like Haicheng is talents who graduated from prestigious schools. You can only work as a waiter here. You just If you don’t believe it, do you believe it now? How much better would it be if you went abroad with me? Even if you can’t find a high-end job, you can find a foreign boyfriend or husband. In this way, you can get a green card and immigrate to the United States. Yeah. It would be great to go to the United States. All kinds of social security benefits are very complete, so you don’t have to worry about life. And if you have a foreign husband, you can be superior to others when you return to your country. David also said just now that his brother Ma Song You are a bad person at home, but when you come to the Dragon Kingdom, you can become a university professor. Not only is the salary good, but girls will also take the initiative to help you. If you can also find a foreign husband, your relatives and friends will definitely envy you, and your family will also Are you going to follow me?"
Ok?
What the hell kind of thinking is this?
Is this the legendary way of finding a foreigner and feeling proud of your ancestors?
Tut tut...
But it's not surprising that she has this kind of thinking. Just from her squinting makeup to please foreigners, it can be seen that she is not a good person.
Wang Jiayi: "I'm pretty good now. I can earn hundreds of thousands a year, which is enough to ensure that I live a good life in Haicheng. My boyfriend is the most awesome man in the world, and no one can compare with him."
Wang Li sat up straight in an instant and said, "Are you kidding me? How can it be so profitable to sell clothes? If you could make so much money, who would go to college? Everyone would sell clothes."
Yang Chen: "I'm the store manager. I take commission from the entire store's sales, plus holiday bonuses and year-end bonuses. I can easily earn between RMB 60 and RMB [-] a year."
Wang Li is even less calm. David Mills's annual salary as an analyst at Goldman Sachs is only more than 8 gold. After deducting taxes, insurance, etc., he only gets about 5 gold. Even if converted into Jackie Chan's national currency according to the exchange rate, It's only around 30 yuan a year, which is actually less than half of Wang Jiayi's salary as a waiter.
How does this work?
Wang Li worked hard for ten years abroad and failed to make a living. In the end, she had to rely on a black boyfriend in her early 40s to survive in the United States. As a result, Wang Jiayi was better at selling clothes in China than she was. So what was her choice to go abroad? Isn’t that wrong?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Why does a waiter earn such a high salary?
If a waiter can earn so much, what's the point of working hard for graduates from prestigious schools?
Even if she becomes an analyst at Goldman Sachs, she only earns so much in one year. How can she, a waiter, earn more than an analyst at Goldman Sachs?
Wanting to "understand" this, Wang Li showed a hint of ridicule.
"We are roommates, old classmates, and good sisters. You don't need to scare me like this. No matter what you do, it will never affect our relationship. I won't look down on you just because you are a waiter." Wang Li said with a smile. .
Wang Jiayi smiled awkwardly and said, "You... I don't know what to say."
Yang Chen looked at Wang Jiayi and smiled, thinking: "Look, I just said to drive a BMW, so as not to be looked down upon. From the moment you walk out of school, the innocent friendship is gone. From now on, the only thing we will compare when we meet is who is doing well." , whose family is happier. As a social person, if he still feels that the relationship between old classmates is still as pure as on campus, it means he is not mature enough."
Wang Li chatted with David Mills in the back row.
Wang Jiayi's English skills were not good enough and she couldn't understand what they were saying.
However, Yang Chen can understand.
"Hey, they said you were showing off." Yang Chen said with a smile.
Wang Jiayi looked back at Wang Li with an embarrassed look on her face, and Wang Li also looked at Wang Jiayi with an embarrassed look on her face.
Wang Li felt that Wang Jiayi could not pass the CET-[-] exam when she was in school. After working as a waiter for such a long time, her English skills must be even worse. She would definitely not be able to listen to the conversation between her and David Mills.
As for Yang Chen?
If he could understand foreigners chatting, would he still need to be an online ride-hailing driver?
But I didn't expect that Yang Chen could actually understand the conversation between them, which was embarrassing.
Mills said in broken Longguo dialect: "Ms. Wang, I am an analyst at Goldman Sachs, and I am very familiar with the income of all walks of life in Longguo. As far as I know, the income of waiters in Longguo is not very high. If it is a backward city, a monthly income of 5000 yuan is already the ceiling level, and those who can earn tens of thousands are definitely the elite among the elite. Even in places like Haicheng, for example, the average income of LV store clerks is only about 8000 yuan. Therefore, How did you achieve an annual income of 60? I think a person should be honest, especially when treating friends, you must be sincere. Lili, I think your friend is very insincere."
Wang Li: "David, don't be so serious. Jiayi, I'm sorry, foreigners are more straightforward and don't understand the euphemisms of us Longguo people. Don't be as knowledgeable as him. Anyway, we are old classmates, After sleeping in the same dormitory for four years, I will definitely not dislike you. As I said again, as long as you nod, I will definitely find a way to take you out. Men in the Dragon Kingdom care about a woman's age, whether she is a virgin, family work, etc. Foreign men don’t care about this at all, as long as you are destined to fall in love.”
Wang Li couldn't hide the excitement on her face, and she said such hypocritical words.
Are you still pretending to be a horse rider?
Yang Chen couldn't help it, and asked with a smile: "Then what kind of job does Miss Wang do in the United States?"
Wang Li: "I do things like purchasing on behalf of others. With David here, I don't need to make too much money."
Yang Chen: "Oh, that means there is no legitimate and stable job?"
Wang Li: "..."
Purchasing on behalf of others is not as good as opening an online store or something like that. This thing is not much different from micro-business.
Yang Chen continued to ask: "How much is Mr. Mills' annual income?"
David Mills: "7 meters gold."
Yang Chen was the first to say: "The annual income of 7 meters in gold is the salary of a junior analyst at Goldman Sachs, not the salary of a senior analyst. After deducting taxes, insurance, etc., the actual income is about 5 meters in gold. This income is not high in New York. Life is not rich. Don’t you have a house?”
Wang Li: "Many people in the United States rent houses, and women there do not specifically require buying a house to get married. As long as two people love each other, they can get married even if they rent a house."
Yang Chen: "Oh, when you get married in China, you need a house and a car as gifts, but when you go out, you become reasonable and don't want it? Jiayi has a house of her own, and women still have to be more independent to get more love and respect from men. Jiayi, what do you think? Is it right?"
Wang Jiayi smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes. However, maybe foreign women really don't pay attention to these things."
Yang Chen: "Mr. Mills is over 40 years old. If in Dragon Kingdom, he can only be a junior analyst after the age of 35, he will most likely be eliminated. Because there are a lot of people in their 20s who can work overtime and stay up late. They His level is also a junior analyst, and the treatment he asks for is also the lowest level. The boss will definitely be willing to choose a young man in his 20s, rather than a 35-year-old old man who is still a junior analyst. This is like looking for a boyfriend. A 35-year-old mediocre man, a 25-year-old mediocre man, you will definitely choose the 25-year-old man. Fortunately, Mr. Mills is in the United States. If he came to the Dragon Country, he would have been fired. You can ask about our Dragon Country. How cruel is China's 35-year-old crisis. As far as I know, companies like Star Investment offer an annual salary of 30 to junior analysts and 50 to senior analysts. Five insurances, one housing fund, and performance bonuses , year-end bonus, etc., can basically catch up with one year's salary. If you can both analyze and trade, there is no upper limit to your income. There are many people who make tens of millions a year if you are good at trading. It is easier in the United States. , although the income is small, the competition is also small, at least there will be no 35-year-old crisis."
Wang Li looked embarrassed and didn't say anything for a while.
After all, David Mills is a foreigner. Although he can speak Longguo dialect, Yang Chen spoke for such a long time at once, and he still couldn't understand what it meant.
Wang Jiayi patted Yang Chen and said: "Oh, what are you doing? They finally came back, so don't take it so seriously. Xiaoli, I'm sorry. He just has a bad personality, otherwise he wouldn't be reduced to opening a net. It’s like hailing a ride. At first, he had a tough personality and couldn’t stand the bullying from his superiors and bosses, so he resigned and started an online ride-hailing business. You foreigners are more cheerful and tolerant, so you should be more tolerant of him.”
Fighting magic with magic is always the best option.
Wang Li smiled awkwardly, and then looked out the window angrily.
Ok?
Not right!
Even if the salary offered by Xingchen Investment is high, David Mills' ability and salary are relatively low, so it doesn't matter if he is an online ride-hailing driver like Yang Chen?
Why did he, an online ride-hailing driver, drag him into trouble?
Wang Li: "Even if what you said is correct, it doesn't have anything to do with you."
Yang Chen: "I just want to tell you that the level of salary is related to personal ability and is not entirely determined by the type of job. I also want to tell you that China is no worse than abroad. Men in the Dragon Kingdom are more responsible and responsible than foreign men."
Wang Li: "Haha... Jiayi makes so much money every year, don't you think you are not worthy of her because you are just an online ride-hailing driver?"
Wang Jiayi: "Lili, don't say that. Yang Chen and I have a very good relationship. Let's not talk about this anymore. It's almost here. Let's think about what we will eat later."
Wang Jiayi looked at Yang Chen apologetically. If she had known that Wang Li had become like this, she shouldn't have let him come over to waste time anyway.
Not long after, they arrived at Tang Pavilion.
Wang Jiayi, Wang Li and David Mills went in first to ask for a private room, while Yang Chen drove to the parking lot to find a parking space.
Yang Chen parked the car and walked into Tang Pavilion.
Waiter: "Hello, Mr. Yang, long time no see."
Yang Chen: "Hello. Is Manager Tan here?"
Waiter: "Yes. Do you want me to call him for you?"
Yang Chen: "No, you can do your work. I can just go by myself."
Waiter: "Okay. Mr. Yang, please."
Yang Chen came to the manager's office, where Tan Hongkai was checking the accounts.
"Oh, Mr. Yang, you're back! Long time no see. Sit down, sit down." Tan Hongkai said excitedly, and quickly stood up and pulled Yang Chen to sit down.
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, and said: "How long can I just listen to your nonsense?"
Manager Tan: "One day without seeing me is like three autumns. Mr. Yang, please tell me how many days I haven't seen you, and how many three autumns have passed."
Yang Chen: "Haha... I brought my friends here, and they went into box 302. You arrange a table of dishes. Don't be too good, but don't be too bad either. Just be passable. Then focus on the taste of American people, and also You have to take into account my taste.”
Manager Tan: "Okay! Do you need to open a drink?"
Yang Chen: "Take two bottles, it depends on what they want. I drive and don't drink."
Manager Tan: "Okay."
Yang Chen: "You go ahead and make arrangements, I'm going to the private room."
Tan Hongkai: "Okay."
Yang Chen got up and went to box 302.
Wang Jiayi quickly stood up and asked him to sit next to her, saying, "Have you ordered?"
Yang Chen: "Yes. I asked Manager Tan to arrange it."
Wang Li: “Jiayi’s boyfriend, can we order some dishes?”
Yang Chen: "No. I have already ordered a table full of dishes, and they have already started cooking. If you order more, you won't be able to finish it. There is no need to waste food. Come tonight, you can order whatever you want to eat."
Obviously Wang Li didn't expect that Yang Chen would refuse so directly, and she was stunned with the menu in her hand.
Yang Chen has experienced so many people and things, how can he not understand what Wang Li wants to do?
If this guy didn't want to take the opportunity to order some expensive dishes, Yang Chen would put his head here.
Although Yang Chen does not interfere with his girlfriend's social life, there is a high probability that such a person will not have much contact with Wang Jiayi in the future, so why waste money on them?
Wang Jiayi still couldn't save face, after all, she had been roommates for four years.
She smiled and said, "Lili, what do you want to eat?"
Wang Li: "Every time I go to a restaurant, I always have king crab, foie gras, black truffle, and caviar. I don't know if your boyfriend has ordered these. If he has, then there is no need to add them. And then we have to order them." If you drink Romanee-Conti, you know you must drink red wine when eating Western food. This is the standard. David, what do you want to eat?"
David Mills: "I'm fine with that, just two bottles of Romanée-Conti."
Look, you know she is this kind of person.
Made, you get 5 meters of gold a year. In that city of New York, you eat these things every time?
Eat it in your dreams!
Wang Jiayi was in a bit of a dilemma. Two bottles of Romanée-Conti cost more than 20 yuan. Other caviar, black truffles, etc., even if it was just for Wang Li and David, would cost tens of thousands more.
30 yuan for this meal is too much to live up to.
Yang Chen did not tolerate them, and said: "How shameless are you two? Your annual income of 5 meters of gold is eaten up in one meal. The rest of the time you guys rely on sunbathing and photosynthesis to replenish energy. Jiayi respects the four-year friendship between you and brings you to Tangge for dinner. But you don’t seem to respect the friendship between you and treat her as your wife. Who invites friends to treat them to dinner and makes them look shameless? It costs half a year's income to eat a meal? Are you willing to pay for it?"
Wang Li: "But when we go to a Michelin-starred restaurant, this is what we eat!"
Yang Chen: "Really? Which restaurant do you always go to to eat? What kind of food do you eat? I'll call and ask."
Wang Li thought to herself that Yang Chen was just an online ride-hailing driver, how could he possibly contact a three-star Michelin restaurant in the United States.
She just said it casually, and he couldn't verify it.
Wang Li: "Per. Se, we just eat what I just said. We are members there. I can only say that poverty limits your imagination. In your opinion, a luxurious life is unrealistic. For us, It’s just a normal, ordinary life.”
Yang Chen: "Okay, I'll ask their chef."
Wang Li: "Why do you ask?"
Yang Chen: "I went to the United States before and left Chef Per.Se's phone number."
Of course Yang Chen didn't know Chef Per.Se, but the Michelin president could find out.
Yang Chen controls 67% of the shares of Michelin Group, but he still can't get a phone number from a three-star restaurant chef?
Yang Chen sent a message to the president of Michelin, asking him to contact Per.Se chef Thomas Keillor first.
After the two of them got in touch, Yang Chen called Thomas Keillor.
Yang Chen pressed the speakerphone and said, "Hello, Mr. Kaile."
Thomas Keillor: "Hello, Mr. Yang. It's an honor to speak with you. I'm so happy. What are your orders?"
Yang Chen: "That's right, I would like to ask if I have a meal in your restaurant, I would like to order two bottles of Romanée-Conti, the regular version, and get foie gras, caviar, black truffle, king crab, etc. for two people, like this How much does a meal cost?”
Thomas Keillor: "If the ingredients are of average quality, it will cost about 8000 to 1 meters of gold. If they are high-quality ingredients, such as Italy's black truffles, Mao Xiong's 60-year-old sturgeon caviar, etc. Then it has to reach [-] meters gold. If the vintage of Romanée-Conti is better, it will be higher.”
Wang Li and David Mills looked embarrassed. Even according to the minimum standard of 8000 meters a time, David Mills's annual income is only enough to eat 6 meals, so he still goes there often?
Yang Chen: "Then can you check if there is a customer named David Mills or King Li in your store's membership system?"
Thomas Keillor: "Of course. Wait a moment, Mr. Yang, I'll check right away."
Wang Li and David Mills both looked surprised. Why could Yang Chen order Per.Se's chef to do things so easily?
Not long after, Thomas Keillor said: "Mr. Yang, I asked someone to check the membership system, and there is no member named David Mills or Liwang's member customer."
Yang Chen: "Oh, then I may have met a liar. Thank you Mr. Kaile. I wish you a prosperous business."
Thomas Keillor: "Okay. If Mr. Yang has the opportunity to come to the United States, remember to come to my place. I will treat you well."
Yang Chen: "I guess I'll never be able to go there in my life. Haha... Hang up, you can get busy." For Yang Chen, let alone going to the United States, it is not safe to go to any country that has good relations with the United States.
But he doesn't want to go either. No country can compare to the Dragon Kingdom.
Wang Li and David Mills looked embarrassed. This was too thorough.
Wang Li forcibly saved her respect and said: "Oh, I forgot, my membership has expired and I forgot to renew. So, they can't find me in their system."
Yang Chen didn't want to waste time arguing with her, and said with a smile: "Oh, so that's it. Do Mr. Mills and Miss Wang want to add more food?"
Wang Li: "No... no need."
David Mills: "Thank you, no need to add more, it's enough."
Yang Chen: "Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
Wang Jiayi lowered her head and suppressed a smile, but under the table, her feet were teasing Yang Chen's legs.
When dealing with such a thick-skinned, incompetent and pretentious person, you have to be serious with her to the end, otherwise she will keep pretending.
In fact, if she is just pretending to be cool, she will belittle others both inside and outside her words, which would be unbearable.
At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
Although there are no expensive ingredients such as caviar, some lobsters and crabs are available.
David Mills has never tasted this dish even a few times, let alone Wang Li, who sold her body in exchange for a green card.
As soon as the dishes were served, the two of them stared at the delicious dishes.
Wang Li even swallowed her saliva in a hopeless manner.
Just like the two of them, they often go to Michelin three-star restaurants to eat?
Wang Jiayi: "Come on, let's eat. Waiter, open the wine."
Yang Chen: "I have to drive, so I won't drink. You three, drink some. Pour me a glass of soda. I'm not very hungry, but I'm a little thirsty."
In fact, Yang Chen just disliked Wang Li and David Mills. It was Yang Chen's limit to tolerate the smell on their bodies and sit at the same table. It was absolutely impossible to eat with them. At most, he could eat something without touching them. Mouth-watering dishes.
David Mills and Wang Li obviously didn't give Yang Chen a chance to eat either, and they immediately started gobbling it up.
Wang Jiayi looked at Yang Chen with an embarrassed smile, feeling so embarrassed.
It’s understandable if you think about it. How can you live well in a city like New York with 5 meters of gold a year?
Wang Li held the crab legs in her hand and said, "Hey, why don't you two eat? Eat quickly, we have to go shopping later. If we don't eat well, how can we have the energy to go shopping?"
Wang Jiayi: "We are eating. If you eat, don't worry about us."
Not to mention Yang Chen, Wang Jiayi was tired of eating these things.
Judging from the way Wang Li and David Mills eat, they probably haven’t had a few meals in their entire lives.
I have to say that these two guys are really good at eating. A large table of dishes was eaten by them.
Wang Jiayi: "Are you full? If not, we can order some more dishes."
Wang Li glanced at Yang Chen and said, "I'm full. Let's go shopping."
Wang Jiayi: "Okay! Where do you want to go?"
David Mills: "We want to go to a gold shop, so wherever there is a gold shop, we will be taken to that place."
Wang Jiayi: "Gold store?"
Wang Li: "Yes! He is talking about the gold shop."
Wang Jiayi: "Oh, okay, let's go."
Wang Li and Mills wanted to go to the toilet for convenience. Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi went out first.
"Dear, I'm sorry, if I had known I wouldn't have let you come." Wang Jiayi said apologetically.
Yang Chen: "It's okay, I'm used to it. However, I have reminded you a long time ago that you must not be shabby when you meet your classmates, and be as decent as you can, otherwise they will definitely despise you."
Wang Jiayi: "Oh... I thought we were roommates for four years and she wouldn't be as bored as others."
Yang Chen: "However, I probably didn't run in vain this time. David Mills specifically asked to visit a gold store. I doubt what Goldman Sachs thinks about gold. The price of gold has dropped from 1950 meters of gold per ounce to the current 1780 meters of gold per ounce." ounces, aren’t they secretly shorting gold?”
Wang Jiayi: "The price of gold seems to be 450 per gram now."
The Dragon State government has shipped back a total of 2020 tons of gold from abroad since 2600. If the price of gold drops sharply, the Dragon State government's book losses will be very large.
According to the current gold price, one ton of gold is worth 4.5 million, and 2600 tons of gold is worth more than 1 trillion. If it falls by 20%, just this batch of gold shipped back from abroad will cause the Dragon Kingdom government to lose more than 2000 billion.
Mudd, these people on Wall Street really can't be honest for a moment.
After a while, Wang Li and David Mills came out.
"Jiayi, okay, let's go." Wang Li said with a smile.
Wang Jiayi: "Yeah. Let's go."
Yang Chen took them to the nearest Dragon Kingdom Gold.
As soon as he arrived at the door, David Mills took out his mobile phone and took a few photos.
He also took out a small notebook and wrote something down before entering the store.
It can be seen from his series of actions that he really came with a mission, most likely to investigate the sales of Longguo Gold.
Yang Chen asked with a smile: "Does Mr. Mills need to take photos when buying gold?"
David Mills: "Haha... When traveling, you must take more photos."
Yang Chen: "Oh, that makes sense. Today's gold price is 450 per gram, which is so cheap. I remember it rose to more than 500 per gram before. Don't Mr. Mills buy some and wait for the price to rise?"
David Mills: “Let’s see first and then we’ll talk.”
Wang Jiayi and Wang Li looked very excited, trying on gold bracelets and gold necklaces again and again.
Yang Chen was not interested in those processed gold products. If he wanted to buy one, he would buy gold nuggets and gold bricks.
Wang Li: "Dear, this necklace is only 8000 meters of gold. It's so cheap. Can you buy me one?"
David Mills' expression was a little stiff, but he still nodded and said, "It's really cheap. If you like it, we'll buy it."
Wang Li immediately ran over and hugged David Mills and started kissing him. Just kiss him, it was her grandma's, and she even stuck out her tongue, which was really disgusting.
Even foreigners can't do this kind of thing in public.
After Wang Li kissed David Mills, she asked the waiter to put it on her and she bought the necklace.
Then, Wang Li said to Yang Chen: "Jiayi's boyfriend, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, don't you buy a necklace for Jiayi?"
Wang Jiayi: "I don't want it. A big gold chain doesn't suit me."
Yang Chen: "Yes! It's not suitable for her."
Wang Li said with a look of disdain: "Giving your girlfriend a gift depends on your own wishes, not whether your girlfriend wants it or not. If you ask if you want it, a girl with a thin skin will definitely say no."
Yang Chen: "But the necklace really doesn't suit her, it's too vulgar."
Wang Li looked embarrassed and said, "Why are you talking?"
Yang Chen: "I'm telling you the truth. Who are you asking, is it rude to wear a big gold chain around your neck?"
At this time, an aunt next to me was unhappy because she had a big gold chain hanging around her neck.
Auntie: "If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Saying sour grapes when you can't eat them is really annoying."
The waiter quickly smiled and said: "Handsome guy, it's not you who said that. This is called wealth, not dirt."
Yang Chen: "You are called Futai, and I am called Tu, and they have no influence on each other. Jiayi, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I really should give you some gifts. You can take those gold nuggets and bricks as you like, and I will give them to you as much as you can. How many."
Everyone in the audience looked at Yang Chen with shocked expressions.
Wang Jiayi: "No, I'm not interested in gold."
Wang Li: "Yang Chen, how can you pretend so well? Can you, an online ride-hailing driver, afford a gold brick with all your wealth? Waiter, how much does a gold brick cost?"
Waiter: "The biggest piece? That is our new Year of the Dragon limited edition, weighing 10 kilograms and priced at 450 million."
Auntie with gold chain: "Oh my god, this is too expensive. Young man, aren't you pretending? Buy it. It doesn't matter, you can buy it by driving an online car-hailing service without eating or drinking for the rest of your life."
Yang Chen: "Such a big piece is only 450 million, which is really cheap. Jiayi, go and get it. I will give you as much as you can take. Listen to me and go ahead."
Wang Jiayi nodded and said, "Okay then."
Wang Jiayi walked over, and the waiter immediately reminded: "Sir, this gold brick costs 450 million. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Yang Chen: "Buy it! If you don't buy it, why am I talking so much nonsense? Give the gloves to my girlfriend and let her take it by herself and experience the feeling of golden freedom."
Wang Jiayi suddenly became excited and quickly put on gloves to hold the gold with both hands.
10 kilograms is not heavy, but it is difficult for her to hold it.
"Oh my god, why is 10 kilograms so heavy?" Wang Jiayi said excitedly.
Yang Chen: "It's dense, small, and feels heavy. If it's ten kilograms of cotton, it won't feel so heavy when you pick it up. Keep picking it up, and I'll buy you as much as you can hold."
Wang Jiayi: "Okay. Hehe..."
Under everyone's attention, Wang Jiayi moved another gold brick and placed it on top of the first gold brick, and then took another twenty small gold bricks and placed them on top of the first gold brick.
"That's almost it. Let me give it a try." Wang Jiayi said with a smile.
"Hey!"
Wang Jiayi tried her best to suck the baby, but she couldn't lift it up.
Two gold bricks weigh 20 kilograms, and 20 small gold nuggets total 20 kilograms. Put together, they weigh 40 kilograms. Wang Jiayi only weighs 46 kilograms. How could she move it?
"Oh, my God, it's too heavy. I kind of underestimated the weight of these little gold nuggets." Wang Jiayi said with a smile.
Yang Chen: "Haha...it's okay. Now that we have taken it out, we want them all. Waiter, do you still have these small gold nuggets in stock? Go get another 10 yuan and make up a round number of 100 kilograms so that you can settle the account."
Waiter: "Yes, yes. Store manager, hurry up and get 10 yuan."
The store manager quickly ran to the warehouse safe, took out 10 yuan, and placed it on the gold bricks.
Wang Li: "You...you are pretending a little too much. How much does 100 kilograms cost? Where do you get so much money to give to others?"
Store manager: "Based on the real-time gold price, the total amount of gold required is 2250 million."
Auntie: "It's so expensive! No matter how many lifetimes you live, you won't be able to afford it by driving an online ride-hailing service."
Wang Li: "Have you played enough? When you have played enough, let others put it back."
The waiters also looked helpless and slightly angry.
They also felt that it was impossible for Yang Chen to buy this gold, it was just a joke.
Yang Chen: "Mr. Mills, please analyze it for me. Will I lose money if I buy so much gold now?"
David Mills: "Haha... Don't worry, gold will definitely rise sharply. If you buy it now, you will definitely make a lot of money."
Yang Chen: "I also think gold will rise sharply. If you buy it now, you will definitely make a profit. Come on, pay."
After saying that, Yang Chen randomly drew a card.
The store manager quickly brought the POS machine to swipe the card. When the machine showed that the card swipe was successful, the store manager's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Thank you boss for supporting our Longguo Gold." the store manager said excitedly.
Everyone was shocked.
Wang Li: "Is that correct? Did he really pay?"
Store manager: "Yes. The card has been swiped successfully."
Wang Li: 'You...how can you be so rich? '
Yang Chen: "Why can't I have money?"
Wang Li: “But you are an online ride-hailing driver!”
Yang Chen: "So? What's wrong with me, an online ride-hailing driver, who has a little money?"
Wang Li: "How come you, an online ride-hailing driver, are so rich?"
Wang Jiayi: "Lili, didn't I tell you before? He usually drives an online taxi when he has nothing to do. In fact, he has other jobs. I will tell you in detail when I have time later."
Yang Chen personally put the gold bricks and gold nuggets into two bags, one for Wang Jiayi to hold, and the other for himself. This heavy feeling was so good.
David Mills whispered a few words to Wang Li, and Wang Li's expression visibly froze.
Then she silently took off the gold necklace and said, "Suddenly I don't like it."
After saying that, Wang Li left.
David Mills hurried after him.
The clerks smiled disdainfully, but in the end she was the clown.
Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi followed them out with the gold in their arms. The store manager led the clerks to the door and bowed goodbye.
"Lili, please slow down, we can't keep up!" Wang Jiayi shouted.
Wang Li pretended not to hear it and still walked quickly towards Yang Chen's car parked on the roadside.
At this time, a police car passed by.
Because someone was crossing the road in front of him, the police car sounded its siren twice.
Because she was so close, Wang Jiayi was so frightened that her body suddenly let go.
"oops!"
Yang Chen quickly helped her pick up the bag, but he also dropped the bag in his hand.
"Crash..."
The two bags fell to the ground, and the gold nuggets rolled to the ground.
Passers-by and cars all stopped.
The police car also stopped, and the four policemen quickly got out of the car and looked at Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi with alert faces.
Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi froze on the spot, looking at each other with the police comrades.
Unconsciously, the atmosphere became a little tense.
Wang Jiayi: "Can I pick it up now?"
Yang Chen: "Yes!"
Just when Wang Jiayi was about to squat down and pick up the gold nuggets, the police immediately said: "Don't move!"
Wang Jiayi was so frightened that she immediately raised her hands.
Yang Chen was speechless, and smiled and pressed down Wang Jiayi's hands.
Yang Chen: "What are you doing? You make it look like we are like thieves."
Wang Jiayi: "He said don't move, it scared me."
The onlookers were talking about it.
"What happened? The police caught him stealing gold?"
"Steal? Maybe they were robbed. Didn't you see that the police are very alert? Maybe they have weapons on them."
"Let me go, they are really ruthless, they must weigh hundreds of kilograms!"
……
Where did the rumor come from?
That's how the rumors came about.
If you want to eat something, just eat it quietly. If you don't understand the situation, just talk and spread nonsense.
Wang Jiayi took Yang Chen's arm and said, "I won't drive anymore. I'll take your car."
Yang Chen: "How about I drive your car. Your classmates may look down on you when they see me driving a ride-hailing car."
Wang Jiayi: "Impossible. She and I were college roommates, and in my impression she is not the kind of person who hates poverty and loves wealth. My Z4 has a little space, so I might as well drive your SUV. I can take them with me when I go out in the afternoon. There’s no need for them to take a taxi.”
Yang Chen nodded and drove his JAC car.
Not long after, Yang Chen brought Wang Jiayi to the Marriott Hotel.
Standing at the door of the hotel was a girl with stern eye makeup, and a black man standing next to her.
Wang Jiayi leaned forward and stared at the girl for a few seconds, as if she was not sure.
She took out her cell phone and made a call. Soon the girl's cell phone rang, and she took out her cell phone to answer the call.
"It's really her! Why did she look like this?" Wang Jiayi said to herself, quickly hung up the phone and got out of the car and walked over.
"Wang Li! Haha...Long time no see!" Wang Jiayi shouted.
The girl with stern eyes put away her cell phone, spread her arms and faced him.
It's not that Yang Chen is discriminating against anyone, he really doesn't want Wang Jiayi to hug Wang Li.
According to Yang Chen's own wishes, he definitely didn't want to get out of the car and say hello.
However, in order not to embarrass Wang Jiayi, he still got out of the car and said hello to Wang Li.
Wang Jiayi: "Wang Li, let me introduce to you, he is my boyfriend Yang Chen. Dear, this is my college roommate Wang Li. When we graduated from the Urban Management College, she went abroad and I came to Hainan. I work in the city, and this separation lasts 10 years."
Yang Chen: "Hello, Miss Wang."
Wang Li: "Jiayi, your boyfriend is very handsome. Let me introduce you to my boyfriend. His name is David Mills. He is a senior analyst at Goldman Sachs, a famous Wall Street investment bank."
Someone from Goldman Sachs?
Yang Chen is now inexplicably wary of Wall Street investment banks. Doesn't David Mills have some mission in Dragon Country?
Yang Chen quickly stepped forward and blocked Wang Jiayi behind him because he saw Mills wanting to hug Wang Jiayi.
Yang Chen: "Come on, Mr. Mills, give me a hug. You foreigners seem to like to say hello like this."
David Mills laughed loudly, hugged Yang Chen, and said, "Hello, Mr. Yang. Nice to meet you."
Yang Chen: "Well, I'm glad to meet you too. Does Mr. Mills have a younger brother in the Dragon Kingdom?"
David Mills: "Yeah! How did you know that?"
Yang Chen: "Because I think you look like a black friend I just met at the Peninsula Hotel. Maybe it's because I haven't met too many foreigners. At first glance, you all look the same."
David Mills: "Haha...my brother is indeed in Haicheng. He was idle all day in China and had nothing to do, so Lili suggested that he come to Longguo to work as a foreign teacher at the university. He is now a foreign teacher at the College of Economics and Trade, leading students every day Watching foreign movies, learning a few eagle words, working easily, and earning a salary of 2 yuan a month, he can live a very good life in the Dragon Kingdom, at least it is better than living idle on the streets all day in China."
Yang Chen: "Oh, that's it. Let's go and eat."
Yang Chen walked in front, and Wang Jiayi and the other three followed behind.
Wang Li saw the word "Beep" spray-painted on Yang Chen's car, and immediately showed a disgusted expression.
"Jiayi, is your boyfriend an online ride-hailing driver?" Wang Li asked.
Wang Jiayi: "That's not really true. He usually goes online to ride-hailing to kill time when he has time. In fact, he has other jobs."
Wang Li smiled and nodded with a look of disgust, then turned around and said to David Mills in eagle language: "My dear, just take his ride-hailing ride for a while."
David Mills shrugged and said, "Okay."
Wang Jiayi opened the rear door and asked Wang Li and David Mills to get in the car.
After the two got into the car, Wang Jiayi closed the door and got into the passenger seat.
As an old classmate, Wang Jiayi is very competent.
"Wang Li, what do you want to eat?" Wang Jiayi asked.
Wang Li started chatting with David Mills in Eagle Language again. After the two of them discussed it, Wang Li asked: "Jiayi, we often eat at Michelin three-star restaurants in the United States. Is there a Michelin three-star restaurant here?"
Wang Jiayi: "Yes! Tang Ge, Tang Ge is a three-star Michelin restaurant. My dear, go to Tang Ge."
Yang Chen nodded and immediately set off to Tang Pavilion.
Along the way, Wang Jiayi and Wang Li talked about many past events.
But as we chatted, something seemed wrong.
Wang Li: "I told you back then, graduates from our three schools couldn't find good jobs at all. The biggest shortage in big cities like Haicheng is talents who graduated from prestigious schools. You can only work as a waiter here. You just If you don’t believe it, do you believe it now? How much better would it be if you went abroad with me? Even if you can’t find a high-end job, you can find a foreign boyfriend or husband. In this way, you can get a green card and immigrate to the United States. Yeah. It would be great to go to the United States. All kinds of social security benefits are very complete, so you don’t have to worry about life. And if you have a foreign husband, you can be superior to others when you return to your country. David also said just now that his brother Ma Song You are a bad person at home, but when you come to the Dragon Kingdom, you can become a university professor. Not only is the salary good, but girls will also take the initiative to help you. If you can also find a foreign husband, your relatives and friends will definitely envy you, and your family will also Are you going to follow me?"
Ok?
What the hell kind of thinking is this?
Is this the legendary way of finding a foreigner and feeling proud of your ancestors?
Tut tut...
But it's not surprising that she has this kind of thinking. Just from her squinting makeup to please foreigners, it can be seen that she is not a good person.
Wang Jiayi: "I'm pretty good now. I can earn hundreds of thousands a year, which is enough to ensure that I live a good life in Haicheng. My boyfriend is the most awesome man in the world, and no one can compare with him."
Wang Li sat up straight in an instant and said, "Are you kidding me? How can it be so profitable to sell clothes? If you could make so much money, who would go to college? Everyone would sell clothes."
Yang Chen: "I'm the store manager. I take commission from the entire store's sales, plus holiday bonuses and year-end bonuses. I can easily earn between RMB 60 and RMB [-] a year."
Wang Li is even less calm. David Mills's annual salary as an analyst at Goldman Sachs is only more than 8 gold. After deducting taxes, insurance, etc., he only gets about 5 gold. Even if converted into Jackie Chan's national currency according to the exchange rate, It's only around 30 yuan a year, which is actually less than half of Wang Jiayi's salary as a waiter.
How does this work?
Wang Li worked hard for ten years abroad and failed to make a living. In the end, she had to rely on a black boyfriend in her early 40s to survive in the United States. As a result, Wang Jiayi was better at selling clothes in China than she was. So what was her choice to go abroad? Isn’t that wrong?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Why does a waiter earn such a high salary?
If a waiter can earn so much, what's the point of working hard for graduates from prestigious schools?
Even if she becomes an analyst at Goldman Sachs, she only earns so much in one year. How can she, a waiter, earn more than an analyst at Goldman Sachs?
Wanting to "understand" this, Wang Li showed a hint of ridicule.
"We are roommates, old classmates, and good sisters. You don't need to scare me like this. No matter what you do, it will never affect our relationship. I won't look down on you just because you are a waiter." Wang Li said with a smile. .
Wang Jiayi smiled awkwardly and said, "You... I don't know what to say."
Yang Chen looked at Wang Jiayi and smiled, thinking: "Look, I just said to drive a BMW, so as not to be looked down upon. From the moment you walk out of school, the innocent friendship is gone. From now on, the only thing we will compare when we meet is who is doing well." , whose family is happier. As a social person, if he still feels that the relationship between old classmates is still as pure as on campus, it means he is not mature enough."
Wang Li chatted with David Mills in the back row.
Wang Jiayi's English skills were not good enough and she couldn't understand what they were saying.
However, Yang Chen can understand.
"Hey, they said you were showing off." Yang Chen said with a smile.
Wang Jiayi looked back at Wang Li with an embarrassed look on her face, and Wang Li also looked at Wang Jiayi with an embarrassed look on her face.
Wang Li felt that Wang Jiayi could not pass the CET-[-] exam when she was in school. After working as a waiter for such a long time, her English skills must be even worse. She would definitely not be able to listen to the conversation between her and David Mills.
As for Yang Chen?
If he could understand foreigners chatting, would he still need to be an online ride-hailing driver?
But I didn't expect that Yang Chen could actually understand the conversation between them, which was embarrassing.
Mills said in broken Longguo dialect: "Ms. Wang, I am an analyst at Goldman Sachs, and I am very familiar with the income of all walks of life in Longguo. As far as I know, the income of waiters in Longguo is not very high. If it is a backward city, a monthly income of 5000 yuan is already the ceiling level, and those who can earn tens of thousands are definitely the elite among the elite. Even in places like Haicheng, for example, the average income of LV store clerks is only about 8000 yuan. Therefore, How did you achieve an annual income of 60? I think a person should be honest, especially when treating friends, you must be sincere. Lili, I think your friend is very insincere."
Wang Li: "David, don't be so serious. Jiayi, I'm sorry, foreigners are more straightforward and don't understand the euphemisms of us Longguo people. Don't be as knowledgeable as him. Anyway, we are old classmates, After sleeping in the same dormitory for four years, I will definitely not dislike you. As I said again, as long as you nod, I will definitely find a way to take you out. Men in the Dragon Kingdom care about a woman's age, whether she is a virgin, family work, etc. Foreign men don’t care about this at all, as long as you are destined to fall in love.”
Wang Li couldn't hide the excitement on her face, and she said such hypocritical words.
Are you still pretending to be a horse rider?
Yang Chen couldn't help it, and asked with a smile: "Then what kind of job does Miss Wang do in the United States?"
Wang Li: "I do things like purchasing on behalf of others. With David here, I don't need to make too much money."
Yang Chen: "Oh, that means there is no legitimate and stable job?"
Wang Li: "..."
Purchasing on behalf of others is not as good as opening an online store or something like that. This thing is not much different from micro-business.
Yang Chen continued to ask: "How much is Mr. Mills' annual income?"
David Mills: "7 meters gold."
Yang Chen was the first to say: "The annual income of 7 meters in gold is the salary of a junior analyst at Goldman Sachs, not the salary of a senior analyst. After deducting taxes, insurance, etc., the actual income is about 5 meters in gold. This income is not high in New York. Life is not rich. Don’t you have a house?”
Wang Li: "Many people in the United States rent houses, and women there do not specifically require buying a house to get married. As long as two people love each other, they can get married even if they rent a house."
Yang Chen: "Oh, when you get married in China, you need a house and a car as gifts, but when you go out, you become reasonable and don't want it? Jiayi has a house of her own, and women still have to be more independent to get more love and respect from men. Jiayi, what do you think? Is it right?"
Wang Jiayi smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes. However, maybe foreign women really don't pay attention to these things."
Yang Chen: "Mr. Mills is over 40 years old. If in Dragon Kingdom, he can only be a junior analyst after the age of 35, he will most likely be eliminated. Because there are a lot of people in their 20s who can work overtime and stay up late. They His level is also a junior analyst, and the treatment he asks for is also the lowest level. The boss will definitely be willing to choose a young man in his 20s, rather than a 35-year-old old man who is still a junior analyst. This is like looking for a boyfriend. A 35-year-old mediocre man, a 25-year-old mediocre man, you will definitely choose the 25-year-old man. Fortunately, Mr. Mills is in the United States. If he came to the Dragon Country, he would have been fired. You can ask about our Dragon Country. How cruel is China's 35-year-old crisis. As far as I know, companies like Star Investment offer an annual salary of 30 to junior analysts and 50 to senior analysts. Five insurances, one housing fund, and performance bonuses , year-end bonus, etc., can basically catch up with one year's salary. If you can both analyze and trade, there is no upper limit to your income. There are many people who make tens of millions a year if you are good at trading. It is easier in the United States. , although the income is small, the competition is also small, at least there will be no 35-year-old crisis."
Wang Li looked embarrassed and didn't say anything for a while.
After all, David Mills is a foreigner. Although he can speak Longguo dialect, Yang Chen spoke for such a long time at once, and he still couldn't understand what it meant.
Wang Jiayi patted Yang Chen and said: "Oh, what are you doing? They finally came back, so don't take it so seriously. Xiaoli, I'm sorry. He just has a bad personality, otherwise he wouldn't be reduced to opening a net. It’s like hailing a ride. At first, he had a tough personality and couldn’t stand the bullying from his superiors and bosses, so he resigned and started an online ride-hailing business. You foreigners are more cheerful and tolerant, so you should be more tolerant of him.”
Fighting magic with magic is always the best option.
Wang Li smiled awkwardly, and then looked out the window angrily.
Ok?
Not right!
Even if the salary offered by Xingchen Investment is high, David Mills' ability and salary are relatively low, so it doesn't matter if he is an online ride-hailing driver like Yang Chen?
Why did he, an online ride-hailing driver, drag him into trouble?
Wang Li: "Even if what you said is correct, it doesn't have anything to do with you."
Yang Chen: "I just want to tell you that the level of salary is related to personal ability and is not entirely determined by the type of job. I also want to tell you that China is no worse than abroad. Men in the Dragon Kingdom are more responsible and responsible than foreign men."
Wang Li: "Haha... Jiayi makes so much money every year, don't you think you are not worthy of her because you are just an online ride-hailing driver?"
Wang Jiayi: "Lili, don't say that. Yang Chen and I have a very good relationship. Let's not talk about this anymore. It's almost here. Let's think about what we will eat later."
Wang Jiayi looked at Yang Chen apologetically. If she had known that Wang Li had become like this, she shouldn't have let him come over to waste time anyway.
Not long after, they arrived at Tang Pavilion.
Wang Jiayi, Wang Li and David Mills went in first to ask for a private room, while Yang Chen drove to the parking lot to find a parking space.
Yang Chen parked the car and walked into Tang Pavilion.
Waiter: "Hello, Mr. Yang, long time no see."
Yang Chen: "Hello. Is Manager Tan here?"
Waiter: "Yes. Do you want me to call him for you?"
Yang Chen: "No, you can do your work. I can just go by myself."
Waiter: "Okay. Mr. Yang, please."
Yang Chen came to the manager's office, where Tan Hongkai was checking the accounts.
"Oh, Mr. Yang, you're back! Long time no see. Sit down, sit down." Tan Hongkai said excitedly, and quickly stood up and pulled Yang Chen to sit down.
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, and said: "How long can I just listen to your nonsense?"
Manager Tan: "One day without seeing me is like three autumns. Mr. Yang, please tell me how many days I haven't seen you, and how many three autumns have passed."
Yang Chen: "Haha... I brought my friends here, and they went into box 302. You arrange a table of dishes. Don't be too good, but don't be too bad either. Just be passable. Then focus on the taste of American people, and also You have to take into account my taste.”
Manager Tan: "Okay! Do you need to open a drink?"
Yang Chen: "Take two bottles, it depends on what they want. I drive and don't drink."
Manager Tan: "Okay."
Yang Chen: "You go ahead and make arrangements, I'm going to the private room."
Tan Hongkai: "Okay."
Yang Chen got up and went to box 302.
Wang Jiayi quickly stood up and asked him to sit next to her, saying, "Have you ordered?"
Yang Chen: "Yes. I asked Manager Tan to arrange it."
Wang Li: “Jiayi’s boyfriend, can we order some dishes?”
Yang Chen: "No. I have already ordered a table full of dishes, and they have already started cooking. If you order more, you won't be able to finish it. There is no need to waste food. Come tonight, you can order whatever you want to eat."
Obviously Wang Li didn't expect that Yang Chen would refuse so directly, and she was stunned with the menu in her hand.
Yang Chen has experienced so many people and things, how can he not understand what Wang Li wants to do?
If this guy didn't want to take the opportunity to order some expensive dishes, Yang Chen would put his head here.
Although Yang Chen does not interfere with his girlfriend's social life, there is a high probability that such a person will not have much contact with Wang Jiayi in the future, so why waste money on them?
Wang Jiayi still couldn't save face, after all, she had been roommates for four years.
She smiled and said, "Lili, what do you want to eat?"
Wang Li: "Every time I go to a restaurant, I always have king crab, foie gras, black truffle, and caviar. I don't know if your boyfriend has ordered these. If he has, then there is no need to add them. And then we have to order them." If you drink Romanee-Conti, you know you must drink red wine when eating Western food. This is the standard. David, what do you want to eat?"
David Mills: "I'm fine with that, just two bottles of Romanée-Conti."
Look, you know she is this kind of person.
Made, you get 5 meters of gold a year. In that city of New York, you eat these things every time?
Eat it in your dreams!
Wang Jiayi was in a bit of a dilemma. Two bottles of Romanée-Conti cost more than 20 yuan. Other caviar, black truffles, etc., even if it was just for Wang Li and David, would cost tens of thousands more.
30 yuan for this meal is too much to live up to.
Yang Chen did not tolerate them, and said: "How shameless are you two? Your annual income of 5 meters of gold is eaten up in one meal. The rest of the time you guys rely on sunbathing and photosynthesis to replenish energy. Jiayi respects the four-year friendship between you and brings you to Tangge for dinner. But you don’t seem to respect the friendship between you and treat her as your wife. Who invites friends to treat them to dinner and makes them look shameless? It costs half a year's income to eat a meal? Are you willing to pay for it?"
Wang Li: "But when we go to a Michelin-starred restaurant, this is what we eat!"
Yang Chen: "Really? Which restaurant do you always go to to eat? What kind of food do you eat? I'll call and ask."
Wang Li thought to herself that Yang Chen was just an online ride-hailing driver, how could he possibly contact a three-star Michelin restaurant in the United States.
She just said it casually, and he couldn't verify it.
Wang Li: "Per. Se, we just eat what I just said. We are members there. I can only say that poverty limits your imagination. In your opinion, a luxurious life is unrealistic. For us, It’s just a normal, ordinary life.”
Yang Chen: "Okay, I'll ask their chef."
Wang Li: "Why do you ask?"
Yang Chen: "I went to the United States before and left Chef Per.Se's phone number."
Of course Yang Chen didn't know Chef Per.Se, but the Michelin president could find out.
Yang Chen controls 67% of the shares of Michelin Group, but he still can't get a phone number from a three-star restaurant chef?
Yang Chen sent a message to the president of Michelin, asking him to contact Per.Se chef Thomas Keillor first.
After the two of them got in touch, Yang Chen called Thomas Keillor.
Yang Chen pressed the speakerphone and said, "Hello, Mr. Kaile."
Thomas Keillor: "Hello, Mr. Yang. It's an honor to speak with you. I'm so happy. What are your orders?"
Yang Chen: "That's right, I would like to ask if I have a meal in your restaurant, I would like to order two bottles of Romanée-Conti, the regular version, and get foie gras, caviar, black truffle, king crab, etc. for two people, like this How much does a meal cost?”
Thomas Keillor: "If the ingredients are of average quality, it will cost about 8000 to 1 meters of gold. If they are high-quality ingredients, such as Italy's black truffles, Mao Xiong's 60-year-old sturgeon caviar, etc. Then it has to reach [-] meters gold. If the vintage of Romanée-Conti is better, it will be higher.”
Wang Li and David Mills looked embarrassed. Even according to the minimum standard of 8000 meters a time, David Mills's annual income is only enough to eat 6 meals, so he still goes there often?
Yang Chen: "Then can you check if there is a customer named David Mills or King Li in your store's membership system?"
Thomas Keillor: "Of course. Wait a moment, Mr. Yang, I'll check right away."
Wang Li and David Mills both looked surprised. Why could Yang Chen order Per.Se's chef to do things so easily?
Not long after, Thomas Keillor said: "Mr. Yang, I asked someone to check the membership system, and there is no member named David Mills or Liwang's member customer."
Yang Chen: "Oh, then I may have met a liar. Thank you Mr. Kaile. I wish you a prosperous business."
Thomas Keillor: "Okay. If Mr. Yang has the opportunity to come to the United States, remember to come to my place. I will treat you well."
Yang Chen: "I guess I'll never be able to go there in my life. Haha... Hang up, you can get busy." For Yang Chen, let alone going to the United States, it is not safe to go to any country that has good relations with the United States.
But he doesn't want to go either. No country can compare to the Dragon Kingdom.
Wang Li and David Mills looked embarrassed. This was too thorough.
Wang Li forcibly saved her respect and said: "Oh, I forgot, my membership has expired and I forgot to renew. So, they can't find me in their system."
Yang Chen didn't want to waste time arguing with her, and said with a smile: "Oh, so that's it. Do Mr. Mills and Miss Wang want to add more food?"
Wang Li: "No... no need."
David Mills: "Thank you, no need to add more, it's enough."
Yang Chen: "Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
Wang Jiayi lowered her head and suppressed a smile, but under the table, her feet were teasing Yang Chen's legs.
When dealing with such a thick-skinned, incompetent and pretentious person, you have to be serious with her to the end, otherwise she will keep pretending.
In fact, if she is just pretending to be cool, she will belittle others both inside and outside her words, which would be unbearable.
At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
Although there are no expensive ingredients such as caviar, some lobsters and crabs are available.
David Mills has never tasted this dish even a few times, let alone Wang Li, who sold her body in exchange for a green card.
As soon as the dishes were served, the two of them stared at the delicious dishes.
Wang Li even swallowed her saliva in a hopeless manner.
Just like the two of them, they often go to Michelin three-star restaurants to eat?
Wang Jiayi: "Come on, let's eat. Waiter, open the wine."
Yang Chen: "I have to drive, so I won't drink. You three, drink some. Pour me a glass of soda. I'm not very hungry, but I'm a little thirsty."
In fact, Yang Chen just disliked Wang Li and David Mills. It was Yang Chen's limit to tolerate the smell on their bodies and sit at the same table. It was absolutely impossible to eat with them. At most, he could eat something without touching them. Mouth-watering dishes.
David Mills and Wang Li obviously didn't give Yang Chen a chance to eat either, and they immediately started gobbling it up.
Wang Jiayi looked at Yang Chen with an embarrassed smile, feeling so embarrassed.
It’s understandable if you think about it. How can you live well in a city like New York with 5 meters of gold a year?
Wang Li held the crab legs in her hand and said, "Hey, why don't you two eat? Eat quickly, we have to go shopping later. If we don't eat well, how can we have the energy to go shopping?"
Wang Jiayi: "We are eating. If you eat, don't worry about us."
Not to mention Yang Chen, Wang Jiayi was tired of eating these things.
Judging from the way Wang Li and David Mills eat, they probably haven’t had a few meals in their entire lives.
I have to say that these two guys are really good at eating. A large table of dishes was eaten by them.
Wang Jiayi: "Are you full? If not, we can order some more dishes."
Wang Li glanced at Yang Chen and said, "I'm full. Let's go shopping."
Wang Jiayi: "Okay! Where do you want to go?"
David Mills: "We want to go to a gold shop, so wherever there is a gold shop, we will be taken to that place."
Wang Jiayi: "Gold store?"
Wang Li: "Yes! He is talking about the gold shop."
Wang Jiayi: "Oh, okay, let's go."
Wang Li and Mills wanted to go to the toilet for convenience. Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi went out first.
"Dear, I'm sorry, if I had known I wouldn't have let you come." Wang Jiayi said apologetically.
Yang Chen: "It's okay, I'm used to it. However, I have reminded you a long time ago that you must not be shabby when you meet your classmates, and be as decent as you can, otherwise they will definitely despise you."
Wang Jiayi: "Oh... I thought we were roommates for four years and she wouldn't be as bored as others."
Yang Chen: "However, I probably didn't run in vain this time. David Mills specifically asked to visit a gold store. I doubt what Goldman Sachs thinks about gold. The price of gold has dropped from 1950 meters of gold per ounce to the current 1780 meters of gold per ounce." ounces, aren’t they secretly shorting gold?”
Wang Jiayi: "The price of gold seems to be 450 per gram now."
The Dragon State government has shipped back a total of 2020 tons of gold from abroad since 2600. If the price of gold drops sharply, the Dragon State government's book losses will be very large.
According to the current gold price, one ton of gold is worth 4.5 million, and 2600 tons of gold is worth more than 1 trillion. If it falls by 20%, just this batch of gold shipped back from abroad will cause the Dragon Kingdom government to lose more than 2000 billion.
Mudd, these people on Wall Street really can't be honest for a moment.
After a while, Wang Li and David Mills came out.
"Jiayi, okay, let's go." Wang Li said with a smile.
Wang Jiayi: "Yeah. Let's go."
Yang Chen took them to the nearest Dragon Kingdom Gold.
As soon as he arrived at the door, David Mills took out his mobile phone and took a few photos.
He also took out a small notebook and wrote something down before entering the store.
It can be seen from his series of actions that he really came with a mission, most likely to investigate the sales of Longguo Gold.
Yang Chen asked with a smile: "Does Mr. Mills need to take photos when buying gold?"
David Mills: "Haha... When traveling, you must take more photos."
Yang Chen: "Oh, that makes sense. Today's gold price is 450 per gram, which is so cheap. I remember it rose to more than 500 per gram before. Don't Mr. Mills buy some and wait for the price to rise?"
David Mills: “Let’s see first and then we’ll talk.”
Wang Jiayi and Wang Li looked very excited, trying on gold bracelets and gold necklaces again and again.
Yang Chen was not interested in those processed gold products. If he wanted to buy one, he would buy gold nuggets and gold bricks.
Wang Li: "Dear, this necklace is only 8000 meters of gold. It's so cheap. Can you buy me one?"
David Mills' expression was a little stiff, but he still nodded and said, "It's really cheap. If you like it, we'll buy it."
Wang Li immediately ran over and hugged David Mills and started kissing him. Just kiss him, it was her grandma's, and she even stuck out her tongue, which was really disgusting.
Even foreigners can't do this kind of thing in public.
After Wang Li kissed David Mills, she asked the waiter to put it on her and she bought the necklace.
Then, Wang Li said to Yang Chen: "Jiayi's boyfriend, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, don't you buy a necklace for Jiayi?"
Wang Jiayi: "I don't want it. A big gold chain doesn't suit me."
Yang Chen: "Yes! It's not suitable for her."
Wang Li said with a look of disdain: "Giving your girlfriend a gift depends on your own wishes, not whether your girlfriend wants it or not. If you ask if you want it, a girl with a thin skin will definitely say no."
Yang Chen: "But the necklace really doesn't suit her, it's too vulgar."
Wang Li looked embarrassed and said, "Why are you talking?"
Yang Chen: "I'm telling you the truth. Who are you asking, is it rude to wear a big gold chain around your neck?"
At this time, an aunt next to me was unhappy because she had a big gold chain hanging around her neck.
Auntie: "If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Saying sour grapes when you can't eat them is really annoying."
The waiter quickly smiled and said: "Handsome guy, it's not you who said that. This is called wealth, not dirt."
Yang Chen: "You are called Futai, and I am called Tu, and they have no influence on each other. Jiayi, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I really should give you some gifts. You can take those gold nuggets and bricks as you like, and I will give them to you as much as you can. How many."
Everyone in the audience looked at Yang Chen with shocked expressions.
Wang Jiayi: "No, I'm not interested in gold."
Wang Li: "Yang Chen, how can you pretend so well? Can you, an online ride-hailing driver, afford a gold brick with all your wealth? Waiter, how much does a gold brick cost?"
Waiter: "The biggest piece? That is our new Year of the Dragon limited edition, weighing 10 kilograms and priced at 450 million."
Auntie with gold chain: "Oh my god, this is too expensive. Young man, aren't you pretending? Buy it. It doesn't matter, you can buy it by driving an online car-hailing service without eating or drinking for the rest of your life."
Yang Chen: "Such a big piece is only 450 million, which is really cheap. Jiayi, go and get it. I will give you as much as you can take. Listen to me and go ahead."
Wang Jiayi nodded and said, "Okay then."
Wang Jiayi walked over, and the waiter immediately reminded: "Sir, this gold brick costs 450 million. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Yang Chen: "Buy it! If you don't buy it, why am I talking so much nonsense? Give the gloves to my girlfriend and let her take it by herself and experience the feeling of golden freedom."
Wang Jiayi suddenly became excited and quickly put on gloves to hold the gold with both hands.
10 kilograms is not heavy, but it is difficult for her to hold it.
"Oh my god, why is 10 kilograms so heavy?" Wang Jiayi said excitedly.
Yang Chen: "It's dense, small, and feels heavy. If it's ten kilograms of cotton, it won't feel so heavy when you pick it up. Keep picking it up, and I'll buy you as much as you can hold."
Wang Jiayi: "Okay. Hehe..."
Under everyone's attention, Wang Jiayi moved another gold brick and placed it on top of the first gold brick, and then took another twenty small gold bricks and placed them on top of the first gold brick.
"That's almost it. Let me give it a try." Wang Jiayi said with a smile.
"Hey!"
Wang Jiayi tried her best to suck the baby, but she couldn't lift it up.
Two gold bricks weigh 20 kilograms, and 20 small gold nuggets total 20 kilograms. Put together, they weigh 40 kilograms. Wang Jiayi only weighs 46 kilograms. How could she move it?
"Oh, my God, it's too heavy. I kind of underestimated the weight of these little gold nuggets." Wang Jiayi said with a smile.
Yang Chen: "Haha...it's okay. Now that we have taken it out, we want them all. Waiter, do you still have these small gold nuggets in stock? Go get another 10 yuan and make up a round number of 100 kilograms so that you can settle the account."
Waiter: "Yes, yes. Store manager, hurry up and get 10 yuan."
The store manager quickly ran to the warehouse safe, took out 10 yuan, and placed it on the gold bricks.
Wang Li: "You...you are pretending a little too much. How much does 100 kilograms cost? Where do you get so much money to give to others?"
Store manager: "Based on the real-time gold price, the total amount of gold required is 2250 million."
Auntie: "It's so expensive! No matter how many lifetimes you live, you won't be able to afford it by driving an online ride-hailing service."
Wang Li: "Have you played enough? When you have played enough, let others put it back."
The waiters also looked helpless and slightly angry.
They also felt that it was impossible for Yang Chen to buy this gold, it was just a joke.
Yang Chen: "Mr. Mills, please analyze it for me. Will I lose money if I buy so much gold now?"
David Mills: "Haha... Don't worry, gold will definitely rise sharply. If you buy it now, you will definitely make a lot of money."
Yang Chen: "I also think gold will rise sharply. If you buy it now, you will definitely make a profit. Come on, pay."
After saying that, Yang Chen randomly drew a card.
The store manager quickly brought the POS machine to swipe the card. When the machine showed that the card swipe was successful, the store manager's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Thank you boss for supporting our Longguo Gold." the store manager said excitedly.
Everyone was shocked.
Wang Li: "Is that correct? Did he really pay?"
Store manager: "Yes. The card has been swiped successfully."
Wang Li: 'You...how can you be so rich? '
Yang Chen: "Why can't I have money?"
Wang Li: “But you are an online ride-hailing driver!”
Yang Chen: "So? What's wrong with me, an online ride-hailing driver, who has a little money?"
Wang Li: "How come you, an online ride-hailing driver, are so rich?"
Wang Jiayi: "Lili, didn't I tell you before? He usually drives an online taxi when he has nothing to do. In fact, he has other jobs. I will tell you in detail when I have time later."
Yang Chen personally put the gold bricks and gold nuggets into two bags, one for Wang Jiayi to hold, and the other for himself. This heavy feeling was so good.
David Mills whispered a few words to Wang Li, and Wang Li's expression visibly froze.
Then she silently took off the gold necklace and said, "Suddenly I don't like it."
After saying that, Wang Li left.
David Mills hurried after him.
The clerks smiled disdainfully, but in the end she was the clown.
Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi followed them out with the gold in their arms. The store manager led the clerks to the door and bowed goodbye.
"Lili, please slow down, we can't keep up!" Wang Jiayi shouted.
Wang Li pretended not to hear it and still walked quickly towards Yang Chen's car parked on the roadside.
At this time, a police car passed by.
Because someone was crossing the road in front of him, the police car sounded its siren twice.
Because she was so close, Wang Jiayi was so frightened that her body suddenly let go.
"oops!"
Yang Chen quickly helped her pick up the bag, but he also dropped the bag in his hand.
"Crash..."
The two bags fell to the ground, and the gold nuggets rolled to the ground.
Passers-by and cars all stopped.
The police car also stopped, and the four policemen quickly got out of the car and looked at Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi with alert faces.
Yang Chen and Wang Jiayi froze on the spot, looking at each other with the police comrades.
Unconsciously, the atmosphere became a little tense.
Wang Jiayi: "Can I pick it up now?"
Yang Chen: "Yes!"
Just when Wang Jiayi was about to squat down and pick up the gold nuggets, the police immediately said: "Don't move!"
Wang Jiayi was so frightened that she immediately raised her hands.
Yang Chen was speechless, and smiled and pressed down Wang Jiayi's hands.
Yang Chen: "What are you doing? You make it look like we are like thieves."
Wang Jiayi: "He said don't move, it scared me."
The onlookers were talking about it.
"What happened? The police caught him stealing gold?"
"Steal? Maybe they were robbed. Didn't you see that the police are very alert? Maybe they have weapons on them."
"Let me go, they are really ruthless, they must weigh hundreds of kilograms!"
……
Where did the rumor come from?
That's how the rumors came about.
If you want to eat something, just eat it quietly. If you don't understand the situation, just talk and spread nonsense.
