Ju An asked Foreman: "Where is this street? I want to go shopping too!".
Foreman looked at Ju An and smiled and said: "It's on Lower Street in Manhattan. If you want to take a taxi, just tell the taxi driver it's Canal Street. There's no one in New York who doesn't know this street. Where is it?"
The things here are very cheap. You can buy brand-name bags from the same factory for only 40 US dollars, and the quality is the same. But if you buy g?a?2m or his championship series, you don’t need it. You know.
It’s immediately obvious.”
Ju An smiled and said thank you to Foreman, waved to Foreman as a farewell, then stood up from his chair and walked directly towards the exit of Central Park. When he walked outside, he waved.
A taxi stopped in front of him. Ju An got into the car and said directly to the driver, "Canal Street." The driver immediately started the car without saying a word.
"Are you going to Canal Street to see some obsolete goods?" The driver asked Ju An with a smile after driving the car smoothly.
Ju An nodded and said, "I heard it's very lively somewhere, so I thought I'd go there and have a look. Do you know where it is?" He just chatted with the driver when he had nothing to do.
The old white man smiled and said: "Who doesn't know in New York? You can meet customers who want to go there every day, but when you go there, be careful of the police. Many police will arrest the vendors. Now those caught buying will also be fined."
After hearing this, Ju An smiled and said: "Then I will be more careful." It's not like Ju An has never seen the New York police's makeup skills. Cora used to wear makeup. Wasn't Wang Fan's makeup brought to her home?
No big deal.
As we chatted with the driver, we arrived at Canal Street unknowingly. The driver placed Ju An under the two signs with Chinese characters for Chinatown, stopped the car, and said to Ju An: "This is it."
.Then he pointed with his hand: "Just walk along this street."
Ju An paid the fare, said thank you to the driver, and got out of the car.
After walking along the street for a while, a Chinese man in his thirties wearing a shirt came over and asked Ju An, "Are you Chinese?"
Ju An nodded, and the man looked around and found that no one noticed him, so he said to Ju An, "Do you want to buy some fake goods?". Looking at Ju An nodded, he started to look at the pants.
He took out a dozen cards from his pocket and handed them to Ju An: "Look at this first. If you like it, I can take you to see the goods. We are all Chinese and we can't cheat you." After saying that, he turned around to look.
He looked around, looking very careful.
Picking up the card, Ju An flipped it over. As expected, as Forman said, the dozen or so cards were all famous brands, including g?a?2m produced by Ju An's own company. Ju An pointed at the card and said
This person said: "I want to see this!".
The man nodded, then put away the card in Ju An's hand, shook his head at Ju An, and motioned for Ju An to follow him. Ju An followed the vendor and entered an alley, walking for three or four minutes.
I walked into a small alley and entered a small room filled with all kinds of fake goods.
The vendor took the bag that Ju An had just seen and handed it to Ju An. Ju An reached out and took it. As soon as he took it, he felt something was wrong. The leather was too hard and did not have the softness and warmth of the cowhide produced in his own ranch.
I asked the vendor: "This is very different from the real thing."
"This brand is produced by Lao America itself. The cowhide is different and cannot be imitated." Then he patted the bag in Ju An's hand and said, "Our imitation is just the same. We are all Chinese and I won't lie to you."
"You, if you take this LV or something else, I guarantee that it will be the same as the real thing, it's all from a factory."
Of course, Ju An couldn't buy this thing, so he made an excuse and said to the vendor: "My wife likes this bag. She already has other bags, so she wants to get a high imitation."
The vendor looked at Ju An and shook his head with a smile and said: "Brother, I'm not going to lie to you. There are no high imitations of this thing. The cowhide and the processing are at most sixty-seven. If you touch it in the hands of someone who has seen it, you will know it.
It’s not much better than what you have on your hands, the cowhide is so soft it’s like silk.”
There was a regretful expression on Ju An's face: "Then I'll take a look." The vendor nodded to Ju An: "Brother, you go to another house and have a look." After saying that, he took Ju An out and locked the door.
Follow Ju An and walk towards the interface.
When we got to the roadside and said goodbye to the hawkers, Ju An felt like laughing in his heart. It was a bit like when I was in college, I went to Jiangnan Zhujiang Road to buy pirated CDs. As I walked on the road, from time to time there would be a hawker holding two CDs facing each other.
You waved: Hey! Do you want a disc? We have everything, software, Europe, America, and Japan. Come in and take a look. If you encounter this door or that door, someone will say to passers-by from time to time: "The camera door."
Do you want the whole set?
After walking for a while, I saw several groups of foreigners, black and white, following the vendors into the alleys. Some foreigners would have one or two brand-name bags in their hands when they came out. After walking for a while, I found many customers.
They are all foreigners, and most of the Asian faces are hawkers.
Don’t think that Americans don’t want to use counterfeit products or pirated software that costs a few dollars. They want to use it but can’t find a place to sell it. If they want to download it online, the website will not open as fast as it can be blocked, and they will have to pay and go to jail.
The cost is just too high. You see so many foreigners buying these high-imitation bags. I have never seen foreigners’ intellectual property protection much better than that in China. Walking on this street, it feels no different from the piracy streets in domestic cities.
While walking, watching and laughing, Ju An was shopping happily, waving to the vendors walking up the road from time to time. As he was walking, he saw a strange thing, a woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties, holding a hand.
The box was placed at the intersection, and Ju An happened to walk next to it
On the other side, he saw that the woman's box was filled with all kinds of brand-name jewelry. The whole box was full of jewels. Ju An squatted down curiously, picked up a ruby necklace, looked at it twice and spoke to the vendor in Chinese.
Asked: "What material is this made of?"
The female vendor took a look at the goods in Ju An's hand and said in soft southern Mandarin: "The chain is made of iron, the gems are plastic, and they will fade after being worn for a long time." She is still an honest vendor, and the goods in Ju An's hand are
He put down the necklace, then picked up another bracelet and looked at it. At this moment, a Chinese female under the age of forty came over and said to the female vendor: "I mean girl! This is my first time here.
stall”.
The female vendor nodded: "Yeah! This is the first time I left the stall this morning." As soon as she finished her words, she heard a clear child's voice not far behind: "Mom!". As soon as Ju An looked up, he saw a three-year-old girl.
The little girls on the left and right ran over and said to the female vendor: "Mom! This is delicious!".
The female hawker smiled and said, "Lan Lan eats it by herself. Mom won't eat it." The little girl stood on her toes and let her mother take a bite. Then she happily ran to the alley and squatted down to eat. Ju An watched and praised her.
She said: "This kid is so sensible!" The female vendor laughed.
The woman who had just come over said to the female vendor: "Sister! Put your stall closer to the entrance of the alley. If the police don't come, you won't be able to run away! You are too conspicuous. You should shrink towards the entrance of the alley, so that both sides
When the police come, put the box away and run quickly, you are too bold."
"Thank you, sister!" After hearing this, the female hawker put the box away and walked towards the entrance of the alley. When she reached the entrance of the alley, she faced the female hawker from before and said, "Is this okay?".
The female hawker looked at it and said: "It's too far inside, and customers outside can't see it. Just stay two or three meters away from the mouth of the box, just to make it easier to run when the time comes. You have a child with you." After saying that, she walked over and put the
The female vendor with her child moved her stall forward: "When I heard someone shouting at the intersection, the police are coming, I immediately put away my things and ran inside. Just keep running."
Ju An heard what the aunt said was interesting and asked with a smile: "How many times does the police come here a day?"
"Sometimes they don't come all day, and sometimes they come five or six times a day, and they even have plain clothes wearing makeup," the aunt explained to Ju An. She helped the female vendor put away her things and continued: "Next time
Don’t take your children with you. It doesn’t cost much to send them to kindergarten. Did you come here smuggled in or something?”
"My daughter is an American citizen and I stay here as her guardian," the female vendor said.
The aunt nodded: "That's better."
After hearing this, Ju An said to his aunt: "What will be the consequences if we are caught?".
"Fine him, and then he will spend more than ten days in jail. Everyone will also help those who were caught sell their goods, and try to reduce losses as much as possible." The aunt said to Ju An, then turned around and walked away.
Now that he was out of the stall again, Ju An continued to squat down and look. Before he could hold the necklace in his hand, he heard a shout not far away: "The police are here, the police are here!".
As soon as he turned his face, he saw a hawker being thrown to the ground by the police more than 20 meters away, still shouting: "The police are here!". Chinese words rang through the street, and some police officers rushed out of the small boxes where they were lying.
He got out and chased the hawker around.
The female hawker immediately closed the box and ran into the alley with her daughter. Ju An forgot to take back the necklace in her hand. Ju An watched the two policemen chasing him. The female hawker held her daughter by the hand.
, carrying a big box in one hand, I guess.
It didn't take long for Ji to be caught. Ju An immediately stood up, ran two steps to the side of the vendor, picked up the girl from the ground, and took the box with one hand: "I'll take it! You take it with you.
I ran to a safe place, I'm not familiar with this place."
The female hawker nodded and ran quickly. With Ju An's physical strength, he could carry a box and hold a child in his arms much faster than the police. She ran with all her strength for a distance of nearly two to three hundred meters. The female hawker led
Chu Ju'an ran into an old apartment building, pointed to the fire escape and said, "It's easy to hide up there, it's my friend's house."
Ju An put down the box, jumped and pulled it down the fire escape, climbed up after a few moments, put the box and the baby into the house, stretched out his hand towards the female vendor, and pulled the female vendor halfway up.
