() Pride is human nature. From an ordinary person who has accomplished nothing to becoming the president of a country through his own wisdom and luck, everyone will feel proud of this change of identity; what about regrets? Liu Fu regrets that he traveled through time
It has been 15 years since I came to Taiwan. Apart from traveling around Taiwan, I have never even been to Penghu. What is the outside world like? Is it the same as what was written in the books I have read before?
In the past, he did not dare to go out for a walk because various external and internal factors prevented Liu Fu from leaving Taiwan, the only place where he felt safe. Now that the external forces have been temporarily disabled, the internal environment has also been cleaned up by the children from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Now that everything is clean, can I go out for a walk? I should be able to do so? Liu Fu often answered herself this way recently.
Finally one morning, Liu Fu made a very bold decision to travel around the world. Next, Liu Fu sent a telegram to David, telling him that he would invest in "Shandru Electric Company"
Liu Fu inspected David's refrigerator factory in the United States and asked him to pick him up in person and keep his identity secret. Then, Liu Fu met with Mr. Liu Dagui, the Vice President of Taiwan, and explained to him what he should pay attention to.
I asked some questions and gave him my contact information.
Liu Dagui has been following Liu Fu for more than ten years, and there is nothing outstanding about him. He is not good at learning and thinking, but he has one advantage that Liu Fu values very much, that is, he is meticulous in whatever Liu Fu asks him to do.
to go
Do it, never do less, and never make your own decisions, do more. It is because of his copy execution function that Liu Fu appointed him as his deputy. Since he is his deputy, does it mean that he should be the same as his own hand?
How about calling the deputy?
After boarding a Helena Shipping Company freighter returning to San Francisco, Liu Fu took five bodyguards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and embarked on the first stop of his global journey, the United States.
The city of San Francisco is located on the west coast of the United States. It is the fourth largest city in California. It faces the Pacific Ocean to the west and the San Francisco Bay to the east. It is a peninsula. The famous Silicon Valley belongs to the San Francisco Bay Area. o), translated as: San Francisco.
Sisko. As soon as you hear this pronunciation, you can tell,
This place must have been occupied by the Spaniards before. The Spanish names for cities are really boring, with various "holy" names, such as: San Diego, San Antonio, San Diego, etc. However, there are exceptions: St. Louis,
It's a French name; and St. Petersburg...Russian.
It is said that the earliest Chinese people called this place "San Francisco" because they pronounced it according to the pronunciation of "sanf..." in Cantonese. The author feels that this is not the Cantonese pronunciation. Isn't this the Chinese Pinyin? I studied English in middle school.
When I was young, I also marked English into Chinese according to the pronunciation, thinking that it would be easier to remember. Later, I was severely corrected by the English teacher...
Why is San Francisco called San Francisco? You can understand it literally: Gold was discovered before, so it was called Jinshan. Later, gold was discovered in Australia, so to distinguish it, it was called San Francisco, and the one in Australia was called New Jinshan. In California
Before the discovery of gold, this was a small Mexican village with an underpopulated population.
500 people. As a result, gold diggers and people who served gold diggers came from the eastern United States and all over the world, pushing the population here directly to 200,000. The current designer jeans "Levis" was founded in San Francisco at that time.
Levis is the abbreviation of founder Lee Strauss.
Due to the discovery of gold mines, Americans sent troops to occupy the area in 1848, and San Francisco officially became a county in the 31st state of the United States.
In the early days of the gold rush, until the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, San Francisco was an important place for Chinese people to go out to seek life. However, due to the impact of the Chinese Exclusion Act, many Chinese were unable to obtain status here, and thus suffered discrimination. The Great Depression of 1906
The fire caused by the earthquake destroyed the files of the San Francisco City Hall. As a result, the Chinese used the purchased forged birth certificates to falsely identify themselves as Chinese-American children and entered the United States.
Liu Fu set foot on the pier of San Francisco in November 1901 and was warmly welcomed by the San Francisco business community headed by David and Schneider. Although he is still affected by the Chinese Exclusion Act, at the welcome reception arranged by David,
Liu Fu didn't feel that he was being discriminated against. He met a few people arrogantly, but it was their own free will. If you want to talk, you can talk. If you don't want to, don't talk. As for whether you are arrogant or not, Liu Fu didn't care.
The next day, David and Schneider took Liu Fu to visit the refrigerator factory and the motorcycle factory. Compared with refrigerators, which are very popular among American families, motorcycles, a new gadget, have been loved by young Americans as soon as they were launched.
The hard-core shape, strong metallic texture and roaring motor sound make young people
People's blood is boiling. Therefore, motorcycles have now become a big toy for young people in the United States, especially in western cities. Another major sales market makes Liu Fu dumbfounded. In less than half a year since the motorcycle was put into production, San Francisco and the largest nearby cities in the west have
Los Angeles gangs became the motorcycle's biggest customers.
Because they have become popular products, motorcycles are much more expensive than refrigerators. A brand-new Yangtze River 750 is priced at US$899, and it does not come with a spare tire. For after-sales maintenance, newly built gas stations are mainly responsible for it.
The training time is short, and there are few after-sales and maintenance personnel. If there is a major failure, it will need to be returned to the factory.
Although there are problems such as high prices and difficult maintenance, the sales volume and sales prospects of motorcycles are very optimistic. On Liu Fu's way to the United States, the municipal governments of several cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles have already ordered 300 motorcycles from the motorcycle factory.
These cities plan to equip their police officers with such vehicles to deal with gangsters riding motorcycles who cannot be dealt with by riding horses or carriages in the city.
The next day, David took Liu Fu to visit the urban area of San Francisco. At this time, San Francisco was not as big as it would be in later generations, with only a population of more than 300,000. The urban area seemed relatively new and the roads were neat, but there were It also hurts Liu Fu. San Francisco is built on a hilly area, which is similar to my country's Chongqing.
There was no smooth road, there were all kinds of big downhills and big uphills, and the roads were all paved with stones. Even though there were shock absorbers on the carriage, it was still shaking and making Liu Fu want to vomit.
Seeing that Liu Fu was not used to riding a carriage, David suggested trying San Francisco's special feature: the cable car. When Liu Fu heard the cable car, his first impression was of a small house suspended in the air, sliding up and down along the steel cable.
After David pulled Liu Fei to jump on a "tram" several meters long and told Liu Fei that this was the cable car, Liu Fei
Only then did Fu realize that he was wrong. The steel cables of this San Francisco cable car are not in the sky, but buried underground. A steel claw protruding from the car grabs the cables, thereby driving the car forward along the two rails.
, at first glance, I thought it was three rails, but in fact there is a gap in the middle one, and there is a running steel cable inside.
This kind of cable car can take about 10 people. It is not very fast and can catch up at a trot. There is also a black driver on the cable car who is responsible for controlling the steel claw. If you want to speed up, hold on to the steel cable. If you want to slow down, just release the steel cable.
Then pull the brake. Liu Fu persuaded the black man with $5 and tried it himself. He found that this was a laborious job. Since there was no power-assisted equipment, he had to rely entirely on his own arms to control the steel claw, which was very tiring.
The black driver, who got $5 out of thin air, watched Liu Fucao control the cable car with a smile, and communicated with David in English with a heavy accent. The two of them snickered from time to time.
After walking a block, Liu Fu dropped the control stick and stopped playing. She asked David what they were laughing at. David replied that the black driver deeply regretted the physical strength of the yellow race.
Being despised, even by a black man, Liu Fu was very angry. Seeing the driver baring his big white teeth and still laughing at him, he really wanted to punch him, but after looking at his muscular arms, he endured it.
.
In the evening, David took Liu Fei to a large manor outside the city and introduced to Liu Fei that this was the highest-end nightlife in San Francisco, with not only all kinds of food and wine, but also famous ladies and beauties in the social world.
