Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Adults are often very restrained in their emotions, and various identity labels are attached to them, gradually causing them to lose the ability to express emotions like children.

Theoretically, Carter is not yet a complete adult, but he has also lost this ability. The drinking and celebrating in the dream: drinking and laughing; the drinking and celebrating in reality: drinking and laughing quietly.

..

Even though he was not entirely happy, the familiar taste of hometown food and the satisfaction brought by the local accent in his ears made up for Carter's psychological need to find recognition. It was quite satisfying.

After drinking, Carter took a nap in the fat boss's room upstairs in the Sichuan restaurant in the afternoon. After replenishing his energy, he went to Rogers' place for a banquet at night. Another advantage of being in a Sichuan restaurant is that Carter can rest assured

I left Melis here so that she could not only eat, but also have a playmate of the same age as Chen Shuzhen so that she would not be bored.

Before going to the appointment, Carter asked the fat boss for some liquor, intending to bring it as a gift. Carter was not familiar with American etiquette, so he had to follow his own knowledge. In China, if you are not particularly familiar with the etiquette, you will come to the door.

When visiting, it is a courtesy to bring some gifts, even if the gifts may not be valuable.

That night, Carter, who arrived with a bottle of liquor, instantly became the most handsome guy at the dinner. It wasn't because he actually brought an odd number of wines, but because he was the only one among a group of people who didn't bring gifts.

Coupled with his overly young face, it is difficult not to attract attention...

"Good evening, Mr. Black! Julie told me, I'm Jim Rogers, and I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let me see what you brought... Is this wine?"

Jim Rogers, who was born in 1942, is only about 37 years old now. He is a middle-aged man in the prime of life. Among the many middle-aged and elderly wealthy clients with rising hairlines around him, he also showed up so much that Carter noticed him at a glance.

"Yes, this is Chinese liquor made by a Chinese friend of mine. I hope you like it. You can call me Carter, Julie and others. Listening to Mr. Black, it will make me look very old."

Even if he doesn't know the specific social etiquette in the United States, Carter, who comes from the future, knows that foreigners like to open gifts on the spot, which is different from the politeness of the Chinese. Watching Rogers look through his gifts, Carter naturally does not look unhappy, his face

He put on a smile and chatted with him cheerfully.

"Hahaha, that's true. I don't like others to call me Mr. Rogers. Like you, just call me Jim... Carter, your gift is very thoughtful. I have never drank Chinese wine. I think

I will find time, such as a leisurely afternoon, to taste it slowly."

Lifting up the simple wine bottle and looking at it, Rogers laughed, turned over enthusiastically, and invited Carter into the room.

"Please come in, Julie and the others are already here. I heard from Julie that you are on your first trip around the United States now? Are you planning to go to Washington as your next stop?"

"Yes, I will leave in about a week or so. I need to get to Washington in early August. I still have some things to do there."

As they walked side by side to the house, Carter did not hide his itinerary. He only hid the upcoming incident of Volker coming to power in Washington.

This magical reality made Carter unable to recover for a long time. And Carter's strange behavior quickly attracted everyone's attention. Julian, who cared about Carter the most, was the first to ask:

"Carter, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Ah... no, I mean, I drank some wine at noon, and my head was a little confused just now. You know, I just made 1.5 million US dollars, I was a little too excited..."

Carter explained dryly, which did not make anyone suspicious. Instead, they all laughed and looked at Carter with a understanding smile. Soros even patted Carter on the shoulder and said:

"I heard from Julie that you are only 16 years old this year. Thinking about when I was 16 years old, I could earn 1,500, no, 150 US dollars, let alone 1.5 million, which makes me crazy with joy!"

"Yeah, let me think about what I was doing when I was 16 years old. It seemed like I was selling peanuts and drinks. It took me more than five years to earn two hundred US dollars. After I paid my dad one hundred US dollars of capital,

I had 100 left, and I was so happy at that time."
