Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Convention and Exhibition Center in the center of the city. There were a large number of cars parked in the square, and there were crowds of people around. There were also many buskers showing off their unique skills in every corner, and from time to time someone would throw something into the box in front of them.
Lay down some banknotes.
Liu Lang stopped in front of an artist who was playing a serenade on the violin. The other person was a black girl in her thirties. The expression on her face reminded Liu Lang of his wife in his previous life, Hong Yu, who was a violin lover.
Although he is not a professional, he has learned piano for five years since he was a child. After they got married, they would play a piece at home when they had nothing to do.
After the song ended, Liu Lang took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and put it into the other party's proposal box. This was the most money the other party had made today.
"Oh! God, thank you so much!"
One hundred U.S. dollars is a lot of money for an ordinary American. Many ordinary working-class Americans only earn seventy or eighty U.S. dollars a day.
"The sound of your piano reminds me of a relative, I should thank you!"
Liu Lang smiled and turned around to leave.
Mo Lan and Huo Tianting next to them could understand English, and they were muttering secretly in their hearts.
"Relatives? What relatives? Do any of Liu Lang's relatives know how to play the violin? I've never heard of them!"
"This Liu Lang is really mysterious and unfathomable...!"
No one can know what is going on in Liu Lang's head.
Several people walked into the convention and exhibition center and were immediately attracted by the various products inside. Products with unique styles from all over the world can be seen everywhere.
The most eye-catching products are the clothing products, including kimonos from island countries, straw hats from Mexico, long-haired furs, and the most attractive thing is a shawl displayed in the Asan Kingdom exhibition room. The shawl over one meter long can actually
It was easy to pass through a small ring. The introduction clearly stated that this was a shawl made of Tibetan antelope fur. The name was Atush, and the price tag was also high. A shawl was worth a thousand US dollars. It was already
It's considered a luxury accessory.
"Stinky Asan, it's really annoying!"
The Tibetan antelope is a unique animal in Tibetan areas and has been on the verge of extinction for more than 20 years. These shawls were undoubtedly obtained by Ah San sneaking over and poaching them. How shameless!
To be honest, many things here are illegal after more than 20 years, such as ivory, rhino horn, and even a stool made of elephant legs is placed in an exhibition room in South Africa, which attracts attention.
attracted the attention of many people.
Liu Lang will not buy these things. Isn't there a saying that if there is no buying and selling, there will be no killing. Even though there are no relevant laws to restrict poachers in the world now, no, those who buy and sell these "illegal items" are not individuals, they are all
The behavior of transnational corporations engaged in poaching, for example, South Africa is actually still ruled by white people, and the black leader known as the greatest is still in prison and will not be released for another six years.
In addition to these clothing and decoration products, there are also furniture, electrical appliances, drinks, food, etc. Liu Lang also saw a car parked on a huge open-air exhibition stand. Liu Lang also saw the brand: Ferrari, the car is
It's the latest model, but in Liu Lang's eyes it's like a classic car.
There are many kinds of goods here, and all kinds of goods are also dazzling, but in Liu Lang's eyes, they are messy and disorganized, much like those domestic product fairs more than 20 years later. After all, this is 1984, even in the United States, in Liu Lang's eyes
The United States today is not much different from China in the late 1990s.
But those who can open exhibition rooms here are definitely not small businessmen and hawkers. Many of them are famous large companies. Liu Lang alone is familiar with five or six companies. He knows about Ferrari, as well as Germany's Volvo. Thirty
Many years later, it was acquired by a domestic automobile company; the American fast food giant's Chinese business was acquired by China's richest man thirty years later, and it was also known as the "Golden Arches".
It is a pity that there is not a single company from mainland China here. After all, the country's technological level is still too low and there is nothing to show for it. Maybe some private companies also want to show off, but the threshold here is too high.
They can all come in, and the price is too high. The smallest exhibition room costs 3,000 U.S. dollars a day, and the minimum rent is 20 days, which is 60,000 U.S. dollars. None of the private companies in China can make so much in a year!
It is simply not what those companies can afford now.
"Where is our exhibition room?"
Liu Lang asked.
"On the second floor! Follow me!"
Huo Tianting led several people up to the second floor.
The area on the second floor is smaller than the first floor, but the things on display are more advanced and belong to "high-tech" products. As soon as Liu Lang went upstairs, he saw a booth from the island country, which actually displayed a portable walkman. It was still the same.
The kind that holds CDs.
"Damn, this thing will be available this year?"
Liu Lang was shocked. You must know that in China, this kind of CD walkman appeared in the late 1990s. When Liu Lang was in high school, it aroused the praise of middle school students as soon as it appeared. It was just the price.
It was not cheap, at least one cost more than a thousand yuan. It wasn’t until Liu Lang was in college that he bought one, which cost him more than half a month’s salary of his father.
It turns out that the Sony company in the island country built it in 1984!
"Hello! Is this a Walkman?"
Liu Lang walked to the booth and asked in English.
"Ah...! Yes, yes, hello!"
The other person's English was not very good, so he was a little anxious. He thought for a moment before answering, but his English was jerky and poor.
"Can you show it to me?"
Liu Lang asked again.
At this time, the other party didn't understand what you were hearing, and he looked around as if he was looking for someone.
"Look!"
Liu Lang shook his head slightly and repeated it in Japanese.
"Ah! Do you speak Japanese?"
The other party was taken aback.
"I mean, can you get one for me to see?"
Liu Lang repeated it three times, already a little impatient.
"Okay, sorry, my English is not very good!"
The other party quickly took one and handed it to Liu Lang respectfully.
Liu Lang took it and looked at it carefully. Although the appearance of this CD player was not as good as that of products produced more than ten years later, it was almost the same in terms of size and basically complete in function.
"How long is a CD? How is the sound quality? Can it be rewinded and fast forwarded?"
Liu Lang kept asking the staff member, and the other person responded respectfully.
"My...my...God!"
Huo Tianting and Mo Lan standing by were stunned. Sun Hu was still expressionless and looked like he had nothing to do with me. Mu Xiaohu looked like it was true. In his eyes, what did Liu Lang do?
Things are not surprising either.
"Liu Lang can really speak Japanese, and he is proficient in conversation. He...he didn't lie!"
Liu Lang had told Mo Lan before that he could speak several languages, not to mention English, but also Russian, German and Japanese. She still didn't believe it. How could a five-year-old child learn so many languages, no matter how smart he was? But Liu Lang
Lang was so powerful, she couldn't help but not believe it.
