Chapter 1768 Heading to Citigroup
On March 27, 1994, at the business invitation of a partner of Citigroup, Jiang Xiaobai took Li Longquan and his party to Beijing, and then flew from Beijing to Nuoyue.
If you apply for a visa yourself, you will definitely not be able to get it done in such a short time.
After staying in the capital for one night, Jiang Xiaobai met Song Hanbin. Song Hanbin handed Jiang Xiaobai a package containing several sweaters bought from the mall.
The corner of Jiang Xiaobai's mouth twitched, but he really took it over.
This is just an excuse in the first place. If you can persuade Song Xin to come back, don't you still need to bring her back? There is absolutely no need.
Song Hanbin thought about it and realized that this was also the case, but he still insisted on letting Jiang Xiaobai take him there.
"If you bring her there, you won't be lying to her. After all, you are really bringing her something, but you just didn't say who brought it to her." Song Hanbin deceived himself and said.
Jiang Xiaobai was also convinced. When he returned this large bag of clothes on the plane, he still felt a little pain in his head.
It can be said that Citigroup in the 1990s was truly invincible. There were many reasons for this, such as the Gulf War and the disintegration of Eastern Europe.
In a word, huge amounts of wealth have poured into Citigroup.
You can feel all this from the moment you get off the plane.
The temperature in March is much lower than that in Shanghai. Jiang Xiaobai and the others had expected this and put on thick clothes.
During the Chinese New Year, a TV series was released called "Beijing People Are Breaking a Contract". The breaking of contracts in 1994 was simply not comparable to domestic cities such as Beijing and Shanghai at this time.
It looked like a big city. When Jiang Xiaobai and others got off the plane, it was six o'clock in the evening at the agreed time, and it was not dark yet.
The afterglow of the setting sun is only a little left in the horizon.
The tour guide and driver that Zhao Xiaojin booked in advance have already arrived.
Three commercial vehicles drove slowly through the twisting streets, pedestrians after get off work, street stalls, artists, colorful neon lights flashing, and a constant flow of vehicles.
The dusk scene that formed the streets of Nuoyue, to be honest, made Jiang Xiaobai feel like he was back in the magical capital of later generations, the capital.
"Tell the tour guide to go to Manhattan Plaza." Jiang Xiaobai suddenly said.
The translator was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Jiang Xiaobai to know about Times Square in Manhattan.
The translator spoke to the tour guide, and the convoy immediately changed direction.
The hotel originally reserved for Jiang Xiaobai and the others was not in Times Square.
Times Square in Manhattan is a prosperous neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City, and is later known as the "Crossroads of the World."
There is also a saying that you haven’t been to Citiland until you’ve made a reservation, and you haven’t been to Citiland until you’ve gone to Times Square.
It's an iconic place, but Times Square in Manhattan at this time was not as good as it would be in later generations.
On the contrary, it was very chaotic, which is why Zhao Xiaojin didn't book a hotel for Jiang Xiaobai in Times Square.
With the advent of the Great Depression in the 1930s, Times Square was filled with pornographic performance venues.
Cinemas showing action movies all night, and shops selling cheap tourist souvenirs.
In the following decades, Times Square was regarded by many as a dangerous area.
From the 1960s to the 1990s, Times Square became a symbol of the danger and decay of New York City.
Movies with dark themes such as "Midnight Cowboy" and "Taxi Driver" were all filmed in Times Square, and it is normal for unscrupulous movie theaters in the area to show low-level movies.
The translator was still communicating with the tour guide, and he was a little worried about the safety of going to Manhattan Plaza.
He is a translator and often comes to Citiland, so he knows a little bit about Times Square.
"It's okay. Cleaning work is being carried out here in Times Square, so don't worry about security," the tour guide said.
This work was put forward by the newly appointed person in charge of the NHK this year, which involves closing down pornographic venues and strengthening public security. In short, the purpose is to turn Times Square into a business card for the NHK.
Hearing what the tour guide said, the translator felt a little relieved, but still told Jiang Xiaobai that he hoped Jiang Xiaobai and the others would pay attention to safety issues.
Hearing the translator talk about this topic, Jiang Xiaobai also remembered it.
It's just that in the Times Square of later generations, it was a business card for breaking contracts, and the security environment was still no problem.
Originally Jiang Xiaobai wanted to go and see it on a whim, but now he regrets it. It's not that Jiang Xiaobai is timid and afraid of death.
But when people get older, they will cherish their lives. If you have a lovely wife and lovely children at home, how can you not cherish your own life?
But now that he had spoken out, the convoy had turned, and the tour guide said there was no problem, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't regret it.
However, Li Longquan and others were still ordered to be more vigilant.
Originally, the hotel Zhao Xiaojin was negotiating with was in Manhattan, not far from Times Square. Soon the motorcade arrived at Times Square.
Jiang Xiaobai and others got out of the car, and Li Longquan and others immediately looked at it.
"Tall buildings stand in the sky like steep mountains, and the walls are made of transparent glass, like crystal palaces. Colorful street lights are twinkling, far and near, high and low, disappearing and appearing. Walking on the road, they are like mayflies in the sky full of stars.
Sky……"
This is what Ding Ling wrote in "Manhattan Street Night Scene". When Ding Ling came to Citigroup, it was 1981, and at this time, Times Square in 1994 was even more prosperous than that time.
All this opened the eyes of Li Longquan and others. The news in newspapers and on TV made people feel that dating is heaven, and even the air was sweet.
Li Longquan was considered a knowledgeable person, so of course he wouldn't think so, but looking at the night view of Times Square, he was really shocked.
Judging from some cities in the country, the country is really too backward now.
"In another twenty years, we will have such a night scene in our country. If you envy and yearn for it, then keep your fighting spirit and work hard." Jiang Xiaobai said with some emotion.
"Dr. Jiang's words are sobering." The translator said with some admiration. This was not flattering, but telling the truth.
When ordinary people see this scene, they will just sigh at the power of Citigroup, yearn for such a life, and even think about wishing to stay and live here forever.
But Jiang Xiaobai is different. Instead, he inspires fighting spirit, recognizes the gap more clearly, works hard, and looks at problems from different angles, so the height he stands on is naturally different.
It’s no wonder that Mr. Jiang is able to make his business so big, this level is different.
"Haha, let's go. Let's take a walk and then we will go back to the hotel to eat and rest." Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said with a smile. He will go to Song Xin's place tomorrow.
