347 Partition Walls Have Ears
As the taxi crossed the Brooklyn Bridge and looked at Manhattan on the other side of the bridge, Chen Rui in the car was filled with emotions for a moment.
Because he really didn't expect that when he came to New York this time, he would see such a scene.
Manhattan in front, Brooklyn behind, and even New York as a whole were shrouded in a hazy haze.
There was a smell of burning wood in the air, and after standing outside for a while, I felt like my eyes were about to shed tears.
"Damn Canadians, I really don't know what they did?"
"A wildfire has not been extinguished for half a year, and now the fire has reached New York."
The driver in front of him was cursing, and only then did Chen Rui understand.
It turns out that the smell in the air comes from Canada in the north.
He also heard a few days ago that there happened to be a huge mountain fire burning there.
But at that time, he lived in the western part of the United States and had no idea about the wildfires.
But now that he has come to New York, he finally has a personal experience.
"Stupid Canadians, this fire has been burning for five months and it still hasn't been put out."
"They are not putting out a fire, they are simply setting it on fire."
The radio in the car also happened to be broadcasting the progress of fire fighting in Canada.
The old black taxi driver in front complained all the way.
But this time, Chen Rui didn't pick up the fight because he was in Los Angeles.
The year before last and the year before last, there had never been serious wildfires.
The fire brigade in the United States did the same thing, and the fire burned for several months.
In the end it went out naturally.
Your country, the United States, also has this kind of virtue, so don’t be ridiculous with Canada.
Chen Rui secretly cursed.
The car soon drove to Manhattan, where Chen Rui stayed in a hotel in upper Manhattan.
This is a piece of land in the financial capital of the United States, and its location is equivalent to the Lujiazui section in China.
The reason why Chen Rui lives here is because he wants to experience American luxury.
He made a reservation at the Hilton Hotel here, and it happened to be a weekend.
After checking in at the hotel, he came down and walked around.
Don’t go anywhere other than landmark buildings like the Empire State Building.
After all, he was tired of seeing those places.
And there are many taller buildings in China than that.
What he wanted to see was the Chelsea Flea Market nearby.
This place is also the most famous and oldest antique market in the local area.
It is generally open every weekend from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
When Chen Rui came to New York before, he had never visited here.
Now that I have become a person in the antique circle, I naturally want to visit this famous market.
This market is not far from the hotel where he lives, just over a thousand meters on foot.
It was just noon when he arrived, maybe because of the weather.
Not many people came out to visit the market today, and the stall owners were also listless and lacked energy.
Chen Rui entered the market. This market was different from any antique collection he had visited before.
Because the market size is much smaller.
There are only more than a hundred stalls, and not all of them sell antiques.
Half of them sell various handicrafts and old jewelry.
Chen Rui probably walked around the stalls in front of him, and he had a pretty good idea of this stall.
It seems that there should be nothing good in this market today.
Although this market is small in scale, it is quite famous in New York.
Because many years ago, many treasures frequently appeared in this market.
They are all ancient porcelain from the Dragon Kingdom, as well as various calligraphy and paintings, but those were all twenty or thirty years ago.
At that time, Longguo's porcelain, calligraphy and paintings were not as valuable as they are now.
In addition, Americans at the time didn’t understand it very well.
Some people took advantage of the fact that Longguo antiques were not popular and picked up several big leaks in this market.
Those successful cases of picking up leaks have also created the reputation of this market.
But later, as the national power of the Dragon Kingdom increased, the antiques of the Dragon Kingdom became more and more popular around the world.
As long as any antique has some attributes of the dragon kingdom, the price will definitely rise all the way.
Therefore, it is difficult to see authentic Longguo antiques in such a market.
Chen Rui walked around the antique market for a while and felt that there was really nothing good.
It’s not that the things are really bad, but that he sees too many good things.
Now, in his eyes, most of these goods belong to street stalls.
There are only a few pieces of exported porcelain that are still eye-catching.
He also tried to bargain with the stall owner for a while, but in the end he couldn't reach an agreement.
The other party saw that he had an Asian appearance and mistook him for Yang Ku.
Things that are obviously only worth a few hundred yuan are worth tens of thousands.
Faced with such an offer, Chen Rui had no desire to bargain at all.
After hearing the quotation, he turned around and left, catching the stall owners a little off guard.
Chen Rui walked out of the market with some annoyance, feeling that this market was in vain.
But he had only taken two steps when he heard a whistle coming from behind him.
He turned around and saw a dark young man with dreadlocks.
At this moment, I was winking at him, when I saw him turning his head and coming back.
The man immediately smiled and said, "Man, I have something good, do you want it?"
The first time Chen Rui saw this guy, he thought of those guys on the streets in big cities in China who ask you if you want a mobile phone.
However, considering the danger of these guys, Chen Rui has no intention of doing business with them.
He smiled and shook his head.
"Hey! Man, don't leave in a hurry! I really have something good here. If you don't believe it, just take a look."
As the guy spoke, he opened his coat.
Only then did Chen Rui notice that this guy was wearing an M65 short coat in summer.
The clothes are filled with all kinds of things.
There are watches, as well as various commemorative medals, sabers and other pendants.
Good guy, this is a mobile warehouse!
Moreover, many of the things on his body are of very good quality and emit a faint white light.
It can be seen that this guy is not that kind of lawless person.
Seeing Chen Rui stop, the buddy also became energetic.
"Man, I have more treasures than this."
"Do you like porcelain? I have some here too."
As he spoke, he picked up the suitcase from the ground, opened it in his arms.
This suitcase actually contains the design of a showcase.
The top and bottom are covered with sponges, cut out into various shapes, and there are all kinds of exquisite silverware stuck inside.
When it was opened, Chen Rui's eyes were really dazzled.
The jewelery aura exuded by these silverware is much stronger than the ones on that guy's body.
But this was not important to Chen Rui, because he could see it at a glance.
There is a very strange porcelain in this guy's box.
This piece of porcelain exudes a strong orange light.
