Chapter 294: Visiting Master Qin (2)

San Francisco's Chinatown is the largest place in the western United States comparable to New York's Chinatown. There are about 80,000 overseas Chinese living here. Everything written and heard here is in Chinese, and everything you see is very traditional Chinese.

A little China.

Among all the Chinese gathering areas in the world, this is probably the most Chinese-style. Li Cong glanced from the entrance of the street and felt as if he had returned to China. The difference was that there were many foreigners in the street. Chinese streets

There is no such thing.

The entrance to Chinatown is at the south end of Grant Street on Bush Street. The gate is covered with green tiles and several vivid dragons have a Chinese flavor. Grant Street is the main street in the community, densely packed with shops and restaurants, and the gorgeous facades attract people.

Visitors and citizens. The Chinese Cultural Center organizes various exhibitions of Chinese Americans, and also arranges Chinatown history tours and Chinatown food tours. The Chinese History Society tells the history of Chinatown and the difficult years of Chinese in the United States, and various documentary records also prove that

The contribution of the Chinese community to the history of San Francisco. The most interesting neighborhood in Chinatown is Waverly Square. Many buildings here were donated and built by Chinese charitable organizations. Ross Lane is a typical example of the narrow alleys hidden deep in the neighborhood.

The smell of sweet desserts wafts from the alley.

While looking at the introduction to Chinatown, Li Cong walked in. He originally thought that Chinese people would have a hard time in foreign countries. But now it turned out that it was not what he thought. The surrounding antique shops and restaurants were all full.

For the foreign devils who wanted to spend less money and appreciate Chinese culture, Li Cong could tell at a glance that the owner of the antique shop over there had tricked a foreign devil with a substandard product. He thought that these guys had bullied the Chinese a lot back then, and now

Just let him shift up the gears once, and it will be regarded as compensating for the losses of the year.

The Tianjin Goubuli steamed buns on the roadside also attracted a lot of people's attention. Damn, it's another authentic Tianjin Goubuli steamed buns. When he was in school in China, what Li Cong was most afraid of was these authentic ones, with the authentic brand.

Doing unauthentic things is what these profiteers are best at doing, but they are also helping the motherland to collect debts. Seeing these stupid foreigners eating with such enthusiasm, Li Cong suddenly felt a little like doing something in his heart.

What is the desire for famous food here? It seems that tricking foreign devils is what every Chinese wants to do.

Finally, we stopped and walked to the residence of Mr. Qin, a teahouse. This was a small business run by Mr. Qin himself. There were not many people inside and not many tables. There was no sign that a big shot lived here.

"Objective, you're here, please come in." The waiter in a long coat hurried over to greet Li Cong and his party.

"Second brother, Li Cong from China pays homage to the Fifth Master Qin." Li Cong sent his post. Although he is not a figure in the world like the Fifth Master Qin, he still has to follow the rules of the world as he pleases.

.

"The fifth master is inside, please come in." The waiter was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the world's richest man was such a virtuous man. Although he was a bit majestic, this was not a big deal. The big shots who came here to visit the master before were also

Quite a few, but none with such a few people, and they were all armed with live ammunition.

After entering the house, Li Cong discovered that this teahouse is indeed antique. Even in Beijing, it would be difficult to find such a retro teahouse. The furniture and decorations are all from the Qing Dynasty. Even the fonts are written with brushes and the tea sets are all

The authentic Yixing goods shipped from China exude nobility in the ancient style.

There are not many guests, and the attendance rate is only about 30%. Almost all of them are foreign devils. I don’t know why Li Cong wanted to laugh when he saw the foreign devils pretending to be there and smelling the fragrance of tea. You guys are still showing off your history.

"Mr. Li, the fifth master is upstairs. I have to greet the guests. You can go up by yourself." The waiter didn't even take Li Cong up. The meaning was obvious. You can go up by yourself. Your entourages are downstairs.

Bar.

The waiter also served several dishes of snacks and a pot of tea to the entourage. Li Cong took a pair of packaged Tang Sancai from Ye Ke and walked up the wooden stairs, making a unique sound. It seemed that this staircase was also old.

It's gone, I don't know if it will collapse soon.

There was only an old man wearing a white gown upstairs. No need to ask, this was the Fifth Master Qin. Li Cong strode over and bowed slightly, showing the etiquette of a younger generation. From Hongmen's point of view, this Fifth Master Qin was the same person.

Huangfu Yu is of the same generation, and he is Qingshan's eldest brother, so he can't run away even if he bends down and bows.

"Fifth Master, hello." He didn't say much, but used honorifics. Qin Wuye looked good and looked good, and Mr. Li Cong, the richest man in the world, gave him enough face.

"Haha, how about you? Sit down, let's have a taste of Longjing for the second time." Li has never drank tea, or it would be more accurate to say that he doesn't know how to drink tea. This good tea only comes the second time.

The most outstanding thing is that Qin Wuye has studied tea ceremony carefully over the years, and he can definitely be called a master.

There are all kinds of tea sets on the table, but Li Cong couldn't name most of them. After all, his cultural accomplishments were there. As a child who was born and raised in China, he didn't understand this as well as an old man who lived abroad. It was really

To put himself to shame, Li Cong took the tea handed over by Mr. Qin Wu. He followed the example of the foreign devil who was despised and smelled it first. It was very fragrant. I don’t know about the rest. He picked it up and drank it in one sip. Damn it.

It's no different from what you make yourself, but you still have to pretend to be very useful.

"Haha, young people nowadays pay less and less attention to the things left by our ancestors. I will call you my nephew. That's what Old Man Kong and Huangfu Yu call you, right?

Your seniority is the same as theirs, so I can't bury you." Qin Wuye looked at Li Cong and said with a smile, but it's already pretty good that young people nowadays are willing to deal with the old people. At this point, Li Cong has already done a great job.

alright.

"Haha, uncle, you are really flattering to call me your nephew. I have been in the United States for some time, and I have been burdened by some worldly affairs. Otherwise, I would have come to see my uncle. This is a small courtesy and not respectful." Li Cong pushed.

Looking at the two Tang Sancai on the table, Qin Wuye glanced at them. On the surface, there was no change. However, Li Cong's observation was also very subtle. He could clearly see a smile in the corner of Wuye's eyes. It seemed that there was no change.

Ke's opinion is correct.

Qin Wuye has known about these two Tang Sancai paintings for a long time, and he had already asked someone to buy them. Who knew that Christie's suddenly announced that they would not sell them, and it turned out that they were bought by this guy. He knew the price well and set it out at the auction.

The price of tens of millions is definitely okay. I have nothing to do with Li Cong, but he gave me such a heavy gift when he came up. Do you have anything to ask of me, an old man?

"My dear nephew, you're welcome. I'm half dead. I'm sorry for your concern. Just come and have a cup of tea with me. Don't bring such expensive gifts. I'll stay at home for a light meal in the evening. I'm old.

When I was young, I loved the excitement. Everything in the past was just a passing thing. When I got to my age, I just drank tea and went shopping. You juniors rarely interacted with each other anymore. Tonight, I will introduce you to the children of your generation in the United States.

You guys, the world from now on is yours." It was obvious that the Fifth Master Qin was very happy, otherwise he would not have told Li Cong this. Within five minutes of meeting, the Fifth Master Qin had already regarded Li Cong as one of his own juniors.

"Of course, I'll bother you tonight. I will come to the United States frequently in the future, and I also need some business friends. I will have to ask for mercy from Mr. Qin in the future." Li Cong climbed up the pole. This kind of thing is the best for us.

Well done.

At this time, some big figures among the Chinese aristocrats on the west coast of the United States were also telling their children to prepare for attending Qin Wuye's banquet in the evening. Qin Wuye sent a message, this time mainly to give a message to the juniors.

Opportunities for communication, so the old people should not come. Of course they know who Mr. Qin Wu is. His old man’s treat is even more rare than a total solar eclipse. Naturally, his children have to support this event, and the protagonist tonight

He is still the richest man in the world. We are all businessmen, so we naturally understand how big the business opportunities will be tonight.

Even the youngest daughter of Mr. Qin Wu, who is the least motivated, rushed back from Hollywood. She said she was filming a movie there, but in fact she was a minor role. If Mr. Qin Wu was willing to pay for her, she would probably be a first-line movie star by now.

, but Qin Wuye was overly educated in ancient China and believed that movie stars were all actors. Not only did he not give her a chance to develop, but on the contrary, when the opportunity came, he found someone to eliminate it. This made the relationship between father and daughter reach a freezing point.

The third lady went home tonight not because of her father's face, but because she felt that the world's richest man would definitely be interested in entering Hollywood. He happened to have a good movie on his hands, and the producer promised that he would only need to raise the funds
