Chapter 786

Chapter 786

Having eaten Spanish food at 85 Second Avenue, Nan Youqiong asked Nan Yi to take him to West 4th Street in Greenwich Village. Nan Yi didn't evade, and took his son there directly.

Greenwich Village is also jokingly called the West Village. This is the settlement of writers and artists. Before the 1960s, the Beats haunted here. More than 20 years ago, the last bohemian flower bloomed here. So far, Bohemia has disappeared in the West Village, and the seeds of New Bohemia have been planted in the East Village.

In the 1980s, rents in the West Village skyrocketed, young people and avant-garde culture in the village migrated to the East Village, and the vacated space was filled by Chinese artists and black people with thick chains around their necks.

Nan Yi and Nan Youqiong turned from Sixth Avenue to West Fourth Street. The first thing they saw was an adult goods store, and there was a Huaguo painter sitting on a bench outside the store and painting portraits of passers-by, and there were crowds of onlookers.

The lights were dimmed, the night was getting darker, and the hustle and bustle quieted down. A semi-subterranean shop next door to the adult products store closed its door. Painters unscrupulously propped up their easels at the door, like peddlers offering business to passers-by.

"Daddy, Bob Dylan lives here." Walking along the narrow street for a while, Nan Youqiong said suddenly.

"like him?"

"like."

"Why do you like him, can you understand the meaning expressed in his songs?"

"I don't understand, but I like to hear it."

"Your mommy likes him too, are you listening to your mommy's records?"

"Yeah."

"Hmm, Mark Twain lived here too, do you know which house he lived in?"

Nan Yi didn't hear Nan Youqiong's answer, and the piercing siren sounded into his ears. He turned his head and saw five or six police cars approaching. After they stopped, a dozen policemen with live ammunition got out of the car, With a face full of anger, he stopped by the car for a while, then walked towards the painters, surrounded by them, but did not draw his gun.

There was a commotion and the painters were surrounded by the police.

Seeing the police, Nan Yi guarded Nan Youqiong and walked away. When they were surrounded, Nan Yi and his party were already 50 meters away. Therefore, they perfectly missed the opportunity to find out the reason for the arrival of the police.

"Nansheng, it's like protection, not arrest." The tiger cub looked at Nanyi for a while and said.

"Um."

Nan Yi responded unconsciously, and continued to protect Nan Youqiong until he walked to a dead corner of a house before stopping.

After staying for a few seconds, the convoy approached, and Nanyi and his son were surrounded by the car.

The car drove out and left this dangerous place.

"go home?"

When the car reached Sixth Avenue, Nan Yi turned around and asked Nan Youqiong.

"Daddy, I still want to go to Times Square." Nan Youqiong looked at Nanyi with hope.

"All right."

Although Nanyi didn't really want to go to Times Square, he still satisfied his son's request.

Six or seven years earlier, Nanyi was still interested in going to Times Square. In the past few years, he would not go there unless necessary. Times Square has changed.

The lights and feasting in the square are still the same, the noise is the same as before, but the skin color on the street has become richer, not as pure as before, the international tourists are well-dressed and fashionable, gentlemen and ladies haunt the Broadway Theater Hotel, countless neon lights flashing the naked skin of handsome men and women , looking up slightly, the prime position is an advertisement for Kevin Klein's underpants.

Nan Yi wanted to lead Nan Youqiong into the skyscraper, but behind the revolving door, the doorman had already flashed expectant eyes, he was looking forward to Nan Yi and his son going in.

It's a pity that Nan Youqiong followed the roadblocks on the road with his eyes. There are always some roads in this world that cannot be repaired well. To a certain extent, surprise spending also has a market in the United States, and there is also a municipal budget here.

Bypassing the barricades and passing through a section of underground heating pipes lit by thick chimneys, tramps, artists, urine flowing across street corners, and horse dung left by sightseeing carriages stirred the air into a sweet, greasy, smelly smell. The two painters took With a paintbrush compared to a long sword, he went to war in order to fight for the territory.

Excluding the fake Bohemia, the rest of the men are almost all of the same color, with a thin leather suitcase under their armpits, and once they are opened, they are full of electronic watches and pseudonym watches. The business is very good, and many people patronize; Wandering blacks will stop passers-by at any time and take out fake gold necklaces to sell.

The shops on the street sell all kinds of electrical appliances and photographic equipment, and the shop owners are almost all from the Middle East. The water of this kind of shop is very deep, not only in business, but also in politics.

Through the gold chain of the black man, one can see the yellow-skinned painter with a beach folding chair under his arm and a leather bag of painting tools in the other hand. There are also white painters who are obviously of Eastern European descent. They try their best to maintain their "nobility" "Descent, the stalls are relatively complete, the painting boxes are elevated, and there are parasols on the top of the head.

After the painter, a group of Hispanics from Puerto Rico are acting collectively. They are the gods of gamblers. They use cardboard boxes to pile up gambling tables on the street. Coke bottle caps and dice are used as gambling tools. Guy, muttering words to confuse the onlookers, there are three or five nurses standing around, constantly winning money.

I can't help but take a few more glances, and I can see that the dealer is Gao Yi, and his craftsmanship is not good enough. Although the Coke bottle cap changes quickly, it is still easy to see through. The clumsy dealer and the child who keeps winning money are tempting passers-by There are few banknotes in it.

Those who go to the end usually lose all the money in their pockets. When a few people from Nanyi passed by, a tourist was squatting on the side of the road and weeping bitterly. He also lost the taxi money back to the hotel.

"It deserves it!"

Pedestrians who were not tempted complained.

Suddenly, the lookout issued a signal, and the cardboard box used as a gambling table was instantly pushed down. The dealer and the trustee immediately scattered and disappeared among the passers-by without a trace.

Passing by a Chinese painter's booth, Nanyi heard from the conversation between Nanpu and Beipu that not long ago, a painter in Shanghai was shot dead by black people. It was not robbery, but the hatred of the group. hatred.

No wonder the two patrolmen across the street have been cruising around the painters, no wonder there was that crop in the West Village just now.

People here are eager to make money, anxiously waiting, enthusiastically soliciting customers, the noble disguise of the artist is torn off, the cunning performance of the peddler is vivid, the inspiration obtained from the lack of weight is reborn on the painting paper, the paint is expensive, and the business of running volume Patterns are a pain in the hand, so steal as many strokes as you can.

Behind the painter, there is a graceful figure swaying, or thick, or petite, or gaudy, or kitsch, with cigarettes on their show fingers, they are more reserved than painters, they do not take the initiative to solicit customers, they just wait for the guests to chat and report a price tag.

Nan Yihu stood behind Nan Youqiong, protecting his eyes to explore the world.

After visiting the shadows under the bustling Times Square, Nan Yi refused Nan Youqiong's request to go to Queens to see, and took them home to watch the news. There was a huge competition among the TV networks, and something worthy of news happened You can see it on TV soon.

From the TV news, Nan Yi knew that the Huaguo painter who was shot dead was from Shanghai, and his surname was Lin.

Within two days, the Anti-Asian Discrimination Coalition and the Anti-Asian Violence Coalition jointly organized a demonstration. Two teams of police officers rode motorcycles to clear the way and guarded the road from the front of the Melford Hotel on East Forty-sixth Street and Eighth Avenue. Starting off, the parade held banners and slogans all the way to the gate of the city police station on the easternmost side of Midtown Manhattan.

Nanyi has a glimpse of the past. There are not only Asians and Europeans in the parade, but also funny black people. It’s not that the people look funny, but the behavior itself is funny. Passers-by know who the parade is against. Ming, after all, whether New York is chaotic or not, the blacks have the final say, and the godfather one, two, three, all stand aside.

After the turmoil of the shooting incident passed, Nan Youqiong asked Nan Yi again to take him to West Fourth Street one day, this time not for art, but for street basketball.

Street basketball mainly originated in New York, to be precise, it originated from Rock Park and West Fourth Street.

Nan Yi and Scarlett never interfered with Nan Youqiong's hobbies, and he was free to choose and develop them. Nan Youqiong liked listening to country music, rugby, and street basketball, so he knew very well that the basketball court on West Fourth Street was developing. The "Goat Basketball Tournament" is held.

When he came to the sidelines of the noisy basketball court, Nan Youqiong said to Nan Yi: "Daddy, that is the goat, Earl MacNicoult, who is only 6 feet 2 [188 cm] tall, but he can beat the 7-foot-2 2's Kareem."

"Skyhook Kareem?"

"Yeah, Goat is the greatest player who hasn't played in the NBA, he's cool to play."

"uh-huh."

Nan Yi responded, looked down at Nan Youqiong's wide Lakers No. 32 basketball vest, and then glanced at the Bulls No. 12 on himself, cursing "heresy" in his heart.

After a while, the 1VS1 bullfight began. One of the players was good at shooting three-pointers, and he didn’t shoot in. He shot directly from the outside, and the basketball fell into the basket. He also raised his middle finger, "Fuck, if you know how to shoot, go play in the NBA, play street basketball."

The brilliance of bullfighting is the confrontation. There is no confrontation at all.

Nan Yi took his eyes away from the basket and looked at the wall beside the basketball court. West Fourth Street is full of painters. Naturally, it is impossible for the walls here to maintain their original colors. Various painting styles collide on the wall , Under the wall, a few black men in dazzlingly colored suits swayed to the rhythm of the Caribbean, teasing the onlookers to interact with them from time to time.

Looking at the dancing movements, Nan Yi guessed that the music of Bob Marley was playing in the tape recorder of the blacks. Uh, there is no need to guess. For blacks in New York, Caribbean music is equal to Marley's songs, and they don't listen to other songs at all. , I can't get up when I hear other things.

"Wow, unbelievable!"

Suddenly, Nan Youqiong let out an exclamation and pulled Nanyi's eyes back to the basket. He saw a small black man hanging on the basket with one hand, and a basketball was still jumping underneath.

"Aaron!"

Under the basket, someone started shouting.

The sound spread to both sides like a tide, and soon the shouts of "Allen" spread to the audience, which was also mixed with the shouts of "Iverson".

"Allen Iverson? He's from New York?"

The little man got off the basket and waved to the onlookers.

Short-haired, thin, without symbolic dreadlocks and tattoos, Nan Yi recognized it for a long time and did not draw an equal sign with the number 3 of the 76ers in his impression, only the face shape was slightly similar.

But after a while, when the little man on the court made elegant steps, exaggerated shaking, and light movements, Nan Yi immediately saw the shadow of Iverson from him.

On the field, Iverson easily passed his opponent, put his hands behind his back and lightly tossed, and the basketball spun into the frame from the gap in the basket.

"Daddy, Allen's extraordinary moves are so cool." Nan Youqiong said excitedly.

"You can learn too."

"Daddy, can you come with me?"

"good."

In the days to come, Nan Youqiong would take Nan Yi to practice dribbling and shooting with him whenever he had free time. It was a pity that Nan Youqiong had no basketball talent to inherit, and no genetic mutation occurred. Among the nervous crowd, he can only be considered average, and his proficiency in dribbling is only a point faster than that of Nanyi, which still takes advantage of his physical fitness.

In the childhood of the two lifetimes, Nan Yi can only say that he was never hungry. The nutritional balance has nothing to do with him. Nan is different. He is still in the embryonic stage, his nutritional intake is planned, and the potential of the parts of his body is fully utilized .

One day, Nan Yi and Nan Youqiong went to the Peace Pigeon New York training base. The Wanderer Weapons Company developed a new type of body armor, and the two wanted to try it on.

Putting on the bulletproof vest, Nanyi put on the clothes he usually wears in four seasons, walked in front of a huge fitting mirror, made movements that he would make under normal circumstances, and carefully observed whether there was anything wrong with his own movements in the mirror awkward place.

After trying on all the clothes of the four seasons, Johnny came to Nanyi.

"Boss, how do you feel?"

"It's not bad, but the body feels a bit heavy. It takes a while to get used to it. How about the bulletproof effect?"

"It's improved a lot. The tiger cub just finished the physical test. The 7.62 full-power bullet was fired at a distance of 30 meters. There were no fractures, only bruises." Johnny shrugged, "However, he lost the battle for a few seconds ability."

Body armor can only protect against ordinary pistol bullets when worn on oneself. It is of little significance for anti-assault rifles and sniper rifles. A pot of Jidi porridge.

To defend against rifles, you can only rely on the meat shield around you, which is why tiger cubs have to do physical tests.

"well done."

"Boss, the Rangers are still unable to make ends meet. I plan to build a body armor production line and participate in armor bidding in various countries."

Nan Yi pondered for a while and said: "I support your idea. You can consider building the factory in Huaguo. Whether it is labor costs or material procurement costs, it is relatively cheap there, and the cost can be reduced a lot."

Although body armor is inseparable from firearms, in most countries it is only regarded as an ordinary industrial product. It is not necessary to apply for a special license to produce body armor. However, firearms are required in the testing process. Of course, it is inevitable to apply for a special permit. gun license.

"OK, I will send someone to investigate."

"Well, let's go to your office."

Nanyi and Johnny came to Johnny's office and chatted about the arctic fox.

"Boss, Arctic Fox has confirmed that there are a lot of dollars hidden in these villas. According to the data obtained after analyzing the observed volume, Pablo's hidden dollars in 837 villas will not be less than 20 billion."

Johnny drew several circles on the map of Colombia, "These points are the cash hiding points discovered by the arctic fox, and the cash hidden in each point will not be less than 20 million."

"How many such points are there?"

"I don't know, Medellin is full of Pablo's eyeliner, and it is very difficult for arctic foxes to move there."

"I understand." Nanyi nodded, "We don't care about the cash in the villa, and not everyone needs to know where it is hidden. On the basis of ensuring our own safety, we can dig as much as we can.

It is relatively simple to deal with hundreds of millions and billions, and it is impossible to deal with hundreds of billions. The main purpose of the arctic fox going to Medellin is revenge. The cash is just a surprise, and it does not matter if it is more or less.

Greed is the driving force to promote people's struggle, but too greedy will kill one's own life.

Johnny, let the members of the arctic fox stay rational and don't take chances. Once the plan is made, it will be as much as it is, and there can be no more than one piece. "

"GOT."

In Medellin, Colombia, DA walked into a room and said to AB, the captain of the arctic fox: "AB, the boss just sent a message, let's stay sane."

The code names of Arctic fox members have no special meaning, but are randomly selected from the 26 letters and combined with two short and easy-to-pronounce letters, just to identify each other and communicate quickly.

"This reminder came in a timely manner. There is too much money, and we have no way to take it all away. DA, convey it to everyone, don't be greedy, otherwise you will escape the encirclement of Medellin, and you will not be able to escape the pursuit of your own people."

...

After trying the bulletproof vest, Nanyi quickly left New York and flew to London, where he stayed with his daughter for more than half a month, and then flew to Shanghai.

On the plane, Nan Yi originally planned to ask Nan Wuwei to go to the capital to be a volunteer for a few days, doing things sincerely, but was accidentally photographed by a reporter. After thinking about it, he gave up his idea. The intention of directional promotion was too obvious, which violated the principle of freedom Nanwu has the original intention to freely choose the future.

In golden autumn, the main thing is to have fun.

Having already reserved knowledge and skills in advance, Nan Yi spent a day refitting the bicycle. When the sun is not shining, he will take Nan Wuwei out for a good ride.

After playing relaxedly for a week, Yan Du approached Nan Yi and suggested that Nan Wuwei explore the root of martial arts. Nan Yi agreed, but there were too many places to go, so he suggested to do it separately.

So, Yan Du took Nan Wuwei from nearby, walked into the countryside, observed how cocks fight centipedes, observed how big geese defeated dogs, and observed how praying mantis punched in the field of hope.

Then, Nanyi accompanied him to the south and marched into Yunnan Province to observe how the Hoolock gibbons wandered nimbly among the trees.

At this point, Nanyi proposed to end the journey first. The Siberian tiger and Xiong Xiazi in Daxing'an Mountains and the hanging sheep in the Western Regions can be saved until the next time. As for the kite turning over, it can go to Yecheng. It will soon be the season for the kite to fly south for the winter.

After returning from Yunnan Province, a group of people came to Shenfeng.

Went to Huashan, took Nan Wuwei to observe the poisonous snake, Yandu took him back to Shanghai, and Nanyi went to Xiaoya Bay.

On October 3rd, it was the day when the construction of Sanmianshan started. Guan Jianjian, the infrastructure manager of the reclamation group in charge of the construction site, watched Pei Shiyi hold a piling ceremony.

Pei Shiyi is a Fengshui master who has already made a name for himself in the south of the Five Ridges, and he paid a high price for inviting him here.

When Nanyi arrived at Sanmian Mountain, Pei Shiyi was instructing construction workers to bury a pair of "boys and girls" into the foundation. Naturally, boys and girls cannot be real people. According to Pei Shuyi, this is his The puppets made by the secret method are very powerful and expensive, with a pair of 80,000.

Nanyi and Ge Cuizhu don't believe in the things that gossip about architecture, but it doesn't matter if the two of them believe it or not. The key is to see whether the customers who consume here believe it or not. They don't need to believe it all, as long as they are half-believed, and some may be ignorant. Things just have to be done.

Fengshui is very popular in Guangdong Province, and there are even more people in Xiangxinxin. If Sanmianshan has a good Fengshui saying, it will naturally attract more customers to visit.

After watching the entire ceremony process on the mountain, Nan Yi quietly went down the mountain from the other side. He didn't want to meet Pei Shiyi at this moment.

If the feng shui book that Nanyi has read is not made up, Sanmianshan meets the five requirements of good feng shui: Longzhen, Shuibao, Shaxiu, acupuncture points, and Xiangzheng. With an explanation that can be given within a million dollars, if Pei Shiyi can't come up with a Feng Shui bureau that makes customers talk about it, then his signboard will be lost.

Before coming here, she called Wenren Lanyue, and when Nanyi arrived at the tin shed, the three of them were already waiting.

No nonsense, directly to the topic.

"Director Nan, over the past two months or so, thousands of people have come to Baoqing, and they all have a lot of funds, ranging from a few hundred thousand to a few million. Others include Chaozhou, Gan Province, People in Zhejiang Province and other places have more or less money, and they are buying land everywhere. The land price in Goose City has increased by 20%, and the average land price in Xiaoya Bay has increased by more than 300 per mu.”

As Qiao Weiping spoke, the joy on his face could not be concealed.

"Do these people have land deals with each other?"

"Yes, but the movement is not too big."

Nan Yi nodded, and then asked Ma Yuyu, "Old Ma, have you heard that there is a real estate building in Xiaoya Bay?"

Ma Yuyu shook his head, "Only the land is sold, and I haven't heard of anyone building a building."

Nan Yi pondered for a while, then ordered: "Lao Ma, I'll give you a week to hand over to Wei Ping, and then go back after handing over."

"good."

"Sister-in-law, the window here is still open, but you can go back to the capital, and the things here have nothing to do with you in the future, just wait for the land to sell and pay the money."

Wenren Lanyue nodded.

"Wei Ping, from now on, you will be left here alone, and you will have two tasks. Keep an eye on the changes in the number of people speculating on land, and on the price of the land. The number of people will increase rapidly, and the price of land will increase by 100 per mu. You will notify the old horse. If there is any If other special things happen, you should also notify them in time.”

"Director Nan, you can rest assured that I will do a good job with my heart." Qiao Weiping vowed.
