Chapter 652 Credit Card Service Center

The day after Chen Li arrived in New York, his mission was to have fun!

It's not that he doesn't need to pay attention to the listing of Hongma Technology. The main reason is that there are already two horses in charge of these matters.

Chen Li has always been regarded as an idler at Hongma Technology, so the specific work is naturally handled by Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi.

Of course, Chen Li doesn't care about everything. After all, as a major shareholder, Chen Li needs to know many things.

So~ he sent his assistant Zhang Ruolan and Mu Xiaoqing who had just arrived, and then he asked Howard Wise for his assistant and started the journey of playing.

However, Chen Li's interest became less and less as he played with it.

There is no other ~ Although there are many famous attractions in New York, most of them are a combination of steel bars and cement.

For example, the famous Twin Towers ~ and the Empire State Building, which has been destroyed countless times in movies, and the Brooklyn Bridge, which has been bombed countless times in movies and TV series, etc.

As for the world-famous Times Square, if you put aside its economic center and other miscellaneous influences, it is actually a very ordinary triangular street.

Yes~ In mid-January 2001, this is how Chen Li, who had been reborn after more than 20 years, evaluated Times Square.

To be honest, in 2001, Times Square could be described as a combination of technology and trendy culture. Coupled with its complex influence and the prosperity of the surrounding economy, there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying that Times Square is a landmark area in New York and even the entire United States.

of.

Here~ no matter it is day or night, the entire square is covered by those huge electronic billboards. With the high-density flow of tens of millions of people on average every day, it directly attracts the code of wealth to this triangle area.

Hmm~ That's right, it was the later "famous" Times Square advertising business.

It's just that unlike the nearly rampant and low-cost advertising business later, the advertising business in Times Square these days is still quite impressive.

In addition, this is a landmark area in the United States, and many people in China subconsciously believe that companies and individuals who can put up billboards in Times Square are definitely awesome.

But in fact, Chen Li, who was reborn from a later life, knew very well that this advertising billboard could actually be put up if he had money.

Of course ~ the point is to have money!

Especially in 2001, the price of advertisements in Times Square was simply not comparable to the proliferation of small screens twenty years later.

But this kind of thing~ It only means a little bit to ordinary people, but for those who are really rich or have ulterior motives, it is just a little advertising fee, which is trivial!

Hmm, okay, what I’m talking about here are those companies that always use their company’s presence in Times Square to make excuses.

Chen Li's two-dimensional girlfriend in his previous life was fooled by this. At that time, she joined a company, and at first she thought it was some kind of large multinational cooperation company. After all, she just stayed on the billboard on Nasdaq.

One month.

I found out later that the broken billboard only advertised their company once a day, for 15 seconds at a time, and the cost for a month was less than 20,000 yuan, and the unit was still Chinese coins.

What can I say~ In fact, if you put aside the so-called political and economic influences of Times Square, then most people's first impression of this place will basically only be left with two things.

Various billboards and tourists of all colors from all over the world.

To put it simply, this place is actually made up of billboards and people!

As for the luxury stores on the roadside and the well-known companies in the buildings, ordinary people can’t feel it at all!

People and billboards are the most intuitive impression that Times Square gives to people who come here.

But this kind of thing~Chen Li could also see it in China in his previous life!

Therefore, if you exclude the incidental influence, Times Square is actually just like that in Chen Li's eyes.

"There will be an event here in two days, and it should be very lively by then!"

"Because in two days it will be the Spring Festival for you Chinese people!"

Howard Wise's assistant Dean Wise introduced him to Chen Li, but Chen Li always called him Little Wise.

It can be seen from the names that Dean Wise and Howard Wise must be somewhat related.

In fact, Howard Wise is Dean Wise's biological uncle, so Americans are actually very nepotistic.

"Oh~ that was quite lively!"

When Chen Li said this, he felt a little emotional, mainly because these days. The Spring Festival in China is actually becoming less and less like the New Year.

Small places like Erlong Town are actually better. In some big cities, the so-called Spring Festival atmosphere can almost only be felt in supermarkets and some shopping malls.

On the contrary, the Spring Festival of overseas Chinese is becoming more and more like that.

Especially before Chen Li was reborn, overseas Chinese on TV seemed to have a lively Spring Festival every year.

Seeing that Chen Li was not very interested, Little Wise did not continue to talk about this topic. In his opinion, Chen Li might be homesick.

Because in Little Wise's eyes, Chinese people seem to go home during the Spring Festival.

This is actually similar to how many Westerners celebrate Christmas!

But this is just Xiao Wise's idea. In fact, although Chen Li is a little homesick, he is not to the point of being depressed.

In his previous life, Chen Li never went home to celebrate the New Year for several years in a row, especially as the spirit of the New Year became less and less intense. In fact, the Spring Festival was not as important as imagined to Chen Li, who was still a migrant worker at the time.

Of course, Chen Li now attaches great importance to the Spring Festival, but he is not homesick enough to make himself sulky.

The main reason why Chen Li was in a bad mood at the moment was because he had just spent a lot of money.

This money is for hiring a lawyer. Because of the incident at the airport yesterday, Howard Wise introduced Chen Li to an authoritative lawyer in the related industry.

Then~ the lawyer appeared in front of Chen Li with a very confident look, and vowed to Chen Li that he would make those guys lose their jobs, and would also ask the US Customs to give Chen Li an explanation.

.

Then, the guy took a check from Li Chen and left.

The number on the check is quite large, but it is for ordinary people. For a rich man like Chen Li, this amount of money is nothing.

But in fact, Chen Li is still a little distressed!

Okay~ Again, although Chen Li is now rich, his change in mentality still cannot keep up with the speed of his wealth accumulation.

To be honest~ There was a moment before when Chen Li actually wanted to give up on this so-called lawsuit. After all, spending more than one million Hua Xia dollars to fight a lawsuit just to get a break felt a bit uneconomical no matter how much he thought about it.

But in the end, Chen Li handed over the check to the other party. Although he felt a little distressed about the money, Chen Li knew better that some things must be done by someone.

But having said that, Chen Li was naturally a little emotional after spending the money, so he felt very unhappy at this time.

This person is unhappy and naturally has no interest in most things.

Fortunately, adults are better at this. Although they have emotions in their hearts, a qualified adult can naturally manage their emotions, so Chen Li did not refuse today's trip.

"Ahead is the famous Broadway Theater, where there will be a performance of "The Phantom of the Opera" tonight."

"Do you need me to book some tickets for you?"

The Broadway Theater in Times Square is basically a must-see attraction here.

This theater was formerly the Metropolitan Concert Hall, but unlike today's famous Broadway theater, the previous performance hall was not very well run.

It was once converted into a casino, a roller skating rink and even an exhibition hall. It was not until 1887 that it was converted into the current Broadway Theater.

Regarding this theater, even though Chen Li has never been to the United States, he still knows it.

It can even be said that it is still fresh in my memory.

The reason why this happens is because there is a Bainaohui Computer City in Chengdu, which is the brain of the head!

And that computer mall not only sells computer equipment, but also has a talent market upstairs.

In his previous life, Chen Li often went there to recruit people, so he was quite familiar with the Broadway theaters he "copied".

Of course, even without that computer store, Chen Li still knows Broadway theater and "Phantom of the Opera".

However, Chen Li was not so familiar with the specific situation.

So after hearing this, Chen Li nodded and said:

"Okay~ Could you please help me book some tickets?"

"Hmm~nine pieces!"

Chen Li calculated the number of people in his mind. He, Zhang Ruolan, Master Cheng, and later Mu Xiaoqing and Wang Juan, there were five people.

But for things like musicals, Chen Li would definitely bring Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi with him, as well as their assistants, so that’s nine people.

"no problem!"

Little Wise nodded, then took out his cell phone and dialed a phone number.

Chen Li heard a bit of the phone call. After all, Little Wise didn't hide it. The other side of the phone seemed to be the MasterCard credit card service center.

When Chen Li heard that it was a credit card service center, the first thing that popped into Chen Li's mind was American Express Black Gold Centurion.

Although Chen Li has never owned one~, the story about this king of credit cards in his previous life is widely spread in China.

The stories about airplanes turning around or trains being suspended and so on are so weird!

But in fact, more than ninety percent of those so-called stories are fiction.

As for how Chen Li knew it, because although Chen Li had never experienced it himself, he had seen it~ and more than once.

First of all, let’s not say that this card does not have high added value at all. Even if it does, the cardholder still needs to pay for it.

For example, the so-called plane U-turn, first of all, no regular airline would allow such an outrageous request.

Of course~Except for private jets or chartered flights!

So what can the Black Gold Centurion Card do? Chen Li learned from a genuine Black Gold Card owner in his previous life. It is definitely impossible to turn around the plane, but before the plane takes off, there are indeed some things that can be changed.

of.

For example, when the original check-in time is over and you haven't even arrived at the airport, you can use the so-called privileges and let the service center help you coordinate.

The reason why I say coordination is because not all airports and airlines will meet your needs.

Chen Li's client was in Europe because the check-in time was over. Later, he called the credit card service center, and the airport opened a green channel for him, and then he boarded the plane smoothly.

This kind of thing is naturally impossible for ordinary people to do, but the Black Gold Centurion Card can help you do it as much as possible.

Many people actually don’t understand why the so-called American Express Black Gold Centurion Card is so awesome. First of all, it’s not the so-called Black Gold Centurion Card that’s awesome but American Express!

Many people think that American Express is a credit card company, but in fact, American Express is the largest travel service, comprehensive finance, financial investment and information processing company in the world.

American Express is a leader in many industries including credit cards, travellers' checks, travel, financial planning and international banking, and is the only service company among the 30 companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Index.

Credit cards ~ travel ~ financial plans and service companies, when these terms are superimposed together, smart people can probably figure out why the Black Gold Centurion Card has so much added value.

To put it bluntly, Express Company is like a large wishing machine. It tries its best to satisfy those "wishes" that can be fulfilled with money.

Of course ~ the premise is that you have to pay the bill!

And there is another problem. American Express is not Aladdin's magic lamp, and not everything can be settled by it.

In the previous life, people on the Internet boasted that this Centurion card could fly out of the Milky Way. No one with any brains would believe this.

Of course, one thing must be admitted, this black gold Centurion card, known as the "King of Credit Cards", is indeed awesome.

Especially in Europe!

Note~ It's in Europe, because not many people actually use this thing in the United States.

In the United States, most people actually use MasterCard and Visa credit cards, mainly because American Express’s business philosophy directly caused them to lose their market in the United States.

Later, Yuntong regained its place in Europe, so the black gold Centurion card is actually the best in Europe.

As for Asia, the domestic Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Province are okay, but the treatment in the neighboring island countries and Bangzi Country is better.

Especially island countries!

In his previous life, Chen Li knew a rich second-generation client who used a black gold card that his father had issued for him to eat and drink in the island country, and even defraud young girls.

This is what Chen Li saw with his own eyes in Tokyo. When the guy paid the bill, he took out the black card, and several little girls around him screamed and clapped inexplicably.

Then when Chen Li saw the guy the next morning, his legs were so weak that he couldn't walk.
