Reborn American Giants

Chapter 177 The economic symbol of the United States

In the next few days, Victor and Louisa took a good look at the tourist attractions in New York. The Statue of Liberty, the Broadway Opera House, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art all left their footprints. Victor even went to see the ones that had not collapsed yet.

The Twin Towers, standing on the observation decks of these two 412-meter-high artificial buildings, have a good view of the entire Manhattan and New York Harbor.

The proud Americans must have never imagined that just when they successfully defeated their biggest rival, the Soviet Union, and looked around, no one could beat them, and bowed their heads and sighed that their heroes were invincible, the Al Qaeda organization they had single-handedly supported would give them a blow in the head.

, and successfully dragged the US government into the quagmire of the war on terrorism, putting out fires all over the world.

The girl from Citibank named Amy visited the house several times and left a business card asking Victor to call her if he needed anything.

All this is the power of money. In Wall Street, the most important financial center in the United States and the world, hundreds of various financial institutions, large and small fund companies, banks, including the New York Stock Exchange are crowded here.

On this small street, the headquarters of Nasdaq, the American Stock Exchange, and the New York Futures Exchange are also located, as well as the managers of famous plutocrats such as Morgan, Rockefeller, and DuPont.

To a certain extent, the word Wall Street has transcended its own meaning. It has become synonymous with American finance and banking. When people mention Wall Street, what comes to people’s minds is money and transactions, as well as Wall Street in the movie.

Boss, agent in suit and tie, mention

Carrying briefcases and walking hurriedly, many people were holding paper coffee cups or financial practitioners carrying paper bags for breakfast. There were tall buildings on both sides, and only the space in the distance could be seen. The road was narrow. There were some selling hot dogs parked on the roadside.

There are breakfast sandwich stalls and people are queuing anxiously in front of the freshly squeezed juice stalls...

Wall Street represents financial and economic power more than anything. To Americans, Wall Street is sometimes equated with elitism, power politics and cut-throat capitalism, but at the same time Wall Street also evokes Americans' pride in the market economy. In the United States

In people's minds, Wall Street is a symbol of a country and an economic system that relies on trade, capitalism and innovation rather than colonialism and plunder.

………………

The night suddenly cooled down. When Victor opened his eyes in the morning, he looked at the frost condensing on the glass and realized that he was already in the United States.

Lying in a luxuriously decorated hotel suite, the heating was turned on so much that one could not feel the cold outside the window at all. Victor let go of Louisa who was tightly hugging his left arm, got out of bed in his pajamas, and stood outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

In front of me, I looked at the world of ice and snow outside and stretched out for a long time.

This Marriott hotel is located at 1717 Broadway Street, 644 meters from Times Square, 483 meters from Central Park, and only two streets away from Rockefeller Plaza. It is also nearby the famous New York's Seventh Avenue, Broadway Theater, and August Wilson Theater.

.It is only 9 kilometers away from Yankee Stadium, which is loved by New Yorkers. Standing in front of the window, Victor could even see the frozen Hudson River from a distance.

After a romantic night last night, after returning from watching a stage play at the Broadway Opera House, Victor and Louisa started to have a crazy relationship between men and women as soon as they stepped into the door. From the door to the bedroom, all kinds of clothes of men and women were scattered all the way. Louisa

The fur coat from the Champs Elysées in Paris, which was priced prohibitively for ordinary people, was also casually discarded on the carpet at the door.

Victor picked up all the clothes on the floor and threw them casually on the sofa. Then he called the phone and asked the waiter to bring breakfast. He started to wash up.

Just as he was brushing his teeth, he felt a warm body pressing against his back. From the smooth mirror, he could see that Louisa was wearing a purple suspender nightgown and resting her head on his back. Her hair was black.

Her hair was shaking and stroking slowly.

Victor raised his head and took a sip of warm water, pumped his mouth twice quickly, lowered his head and spit it out. Then, while wiping the toothpaste foam at the corner of his mouth with the towel on his shoulder, he turned around and lifted Louisa's chin, speaking frivolously.

Said: "Hey, girl, wake up quickly, if you keep doing this, you won't be able to go out today!"

Louisa looked at Victor with half-closed eyes, and laughed "Who is afraid of whom?"

"Ding dong,"

A clear doorbell rang, and Victor slapped Louisa hard on the buttocks, causing Louisa to let out a dissatisfied "hum" before she walked over and opened the door. It was a hotel attendant.

Meal staff.

After letting the staff pushing the food delivery cart into the room, Victor watched the delivery man wearing a black vest uniform place the food on the dining table.

A plate of golden fried eggs, a small piece of French croissant with red jam on it, a few waffles drizzled with chocolate sauce, two cups of fragrant and hot coffee, oh, and

A bright red apple. A few very simple foods, carefully placed, actually make people feel pleasing to the eye.

The waiter felt a little happy when he accepted the ten-dollar tip that Victor handed him. Generally speaking, even if he works in a five-star hotel, the tip he gets is only one or two dollars each time. Victor once

I gave him ten dollars, which was considered a very generous guest.

Watching the other party push the food cart away, Victor said to the bodyguard standing at the door of the room: "Prieto, go and call your captain and Mr. Dorio over."

"Yes, boss," the bodyguard named Prieto winked with the other bodyguard and left.

Victor was immersed in the battle between the knife, fork and food. Louisa came out of the bathroom and kissed him gently on the cheek. While chewing the food, Victor said: "I may not be able to accompany you today.

Now, if you want to go somewhere, I will ask Porfirio to arrange for someone to follow you."

"Just do whatever you want, and I'll go get some sleep."

After saying that, Luisa swayed towards the bedroom. At that moment, Porfirio and Rondorio came in.

"You guys sit down for a while, I'll be there soon," Victor said to the two of them, waving the knife in his right hand.

The two were sitting on the sofa in the hall. Dorio got up and picked a bottle of Crown whiskey from the small refrigerator. He raised it and signaled to Porfirio behind him. In the end, the other party shook his head, and Dorio didn't add anything.

After paying attention, he uncorked the bottle, poured a glass and returned to the sofa, drinking and waiting.

Victor did not keep the two of them waiting for too long. He quickly finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth with a table cloth, then came to the sofa with coffee and said to Porfirio: "You will arrange for two people to follow Louis."

Ms. Shah."

"Yes, sir."

"Dolio," Victor turned his attention to the Gref family's distributor and money laundering master in the United States, "Have you made an appointment with someone from Texaco?"

Rondorio shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "The appointment has already been made, at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, but I don't know if the other party will pay attention to us."

"You don't need to worry about this," Victor waved his hand. "We also need a lawyer who is very familiar with federal and state financial laws in the United States and can be worthy of our trust."

The United States is a federal country. According to the U.S. Constitution, the federal and states implement the principle of separation of powers. The federal and states have their own relatively independent legislative bodies and judicial systems. In this way, the United States has two sets of legal systems. Not only that, each state

They also have their own legal systems, and not only the legislative and judicial institutions are set up differently

, and there are many differences in legal content. For example, the United States does not have a nationally unified federal common law, only state common laws. It can be said that there are 50 common laws in 50 states. For example, some states implement a community property system, and some states have a community property system.

Some states implement a system of separate property between husband and wife. Some states have very strict divorce conditions, while others are more lenient.

In the complex financial field, these laws are even more complicated. Many foreign investors do not know this, and there are many who have lost all their money after being cheated by Wall Street institutions. Therefore, Victor needs such a person who is familiar with the situation.

lawyer.

"I have a candidate, please don't worry, he is definitely a "clean" novice..."

"who?"

"A young lawyer named Nathan Miller."
