The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 426 The world is big, but I am the happiest

People walking on both sides of the streets in New York were looking at a long line of carriages.

Some gentlemen also stopped their carriages on the side of the road and looked through the windows at the carriages entering the city and the Chinese sitting in the freight cars at the back of the carriages.

They left the city from here a few days ago, headed straight for Washington, and now they are back.

He also forced the cabinet to sign the Washington Treaty!
Chen Zhengwei came to the Fifth Avenue Hotel where he stayed last time, only to see a dozen thugs coming out of the hotel and standing on both sides.

When they saw Chen Zhengwei, these people all showed a sense of intimacy.

They are all Chen Zhengwei's junior brothers and Yan Qingyou's subordinates, and have followed Chen Zhengwei for a long time.

"Brother Wei, you're showing off your power this time!"

"You arrived earlier than me!" When Chen Zhengwei saw them, he knew that Lin Changning had also arrived.

"Brother Wei, Senior Sister is inside!"

When Chen Zhengwei entered the hotel, he saw Lin Changning sitting in a corner of the lobby. She was wearing a moon-white cheongsam, which made her very conspicuous in the hotel.

Although she has a young woman's hairstyle, she looks no different from a young girl, with fair skin, charming eyes and eyebrows, especially her indifference and alienation, which always attracts people's attention.

Some foreigners watched from a distance but did not dare to approach and talk.

Just look at her ethnicity and her appearance here to know who she is related to.

Her position was also the best, and she could see the hotel entrance.

Seeing Chen Zhengwei coming in, the indifference on Lin Changning's face disappeared, and smiles appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He stood up and walked towards this side like a blooming flower.

Chen Zhengwei laughed and opened his arms.

Lin Changning just walked quietly to Chen Zhengwei and looked him up and down carefully.

Not injured.

Then she carefully helped him tidy up his clothes.

"He's gotten stronger! He seems to be taller!"

Chen Zhengwei lifted her up and laughed, "My chest muscles are bigger too, do you want to see them?"

Chen Zhengwei's hand touched something hard on Lin Changning's thigh, a knife and a gun.

This girl is very good at hiding weapons. Once she hides them, it is hard to see them from outside.

Lin Changning hit him on the back several times, but it was like hitting cowhide, and he couldn't break free from the strength of his hands.

Especially since Aaron was still not far away, winking at her: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Chen Zhengwei carried Lin Changning and glanced around the hall.

When faced with his aggressive gaze, the foreigners here would either smile and nod, or subconsciously look away.

Lin Changning was carried all the way up the stairs by him, and the two of them got entangled when they entered the room.

...Omit punctuation marks for 28,000 words...

Two hours later, Lin Changning collapsed on the bed, his mind racing, considering whether Chen Zhengwei should take Wan Yun in.

"Too bad, I think I can still beat eight more!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile while putting on his clothes.

When Lin Changning heard this, his eyebrows stood up, but he didn't want to move, not even a finger.

Chen Zhengwei went downstairs in high spirits, and Randolph Churchill was already there.

"Congratulations, you have accomplished an amazing feat!" Randolph Churchill stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Zhengwei.

Chen Zhengwei glanced at his hand and then walked away from him.

This guy is poisonous.

Randolph Churchill withdrew his hand, no longer embarrassed, and sat down opposite Chen Zhengwei.

"There's a party tomorrow night, hosted by Sir Edward Thornton... There are many gentlemen in New York who want to make friends with you!"

British Minister Edward Thornton had already returned to New York.

After all, he doesn't have to be in Washington all the time.

"Are you all back from vacation?" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"Yes!" Randolph Churchill took out the invitation from his arms solemnly.

"They all just had a holiday! I thought you'd like to meet them, they're some big shots!"

"JP Morgan will go, right?" Chen Zhengwei asked with a smile.

"As far as I know, yes. He returned to New York the day before yesterday... Chen, the most important thing in the world is interests! Especially now that you are not alone!" Randolph Churchill instantly knew that Chen Zhengwei was going to cause trouble for JP Morgan and kindly reminded him.

"Do you know what the biggest difference between me and you is?" Chen Zhengwei asked back, without waiting for the other party to answer:

"You all only care about profit, but I don't! Profit is not important to me, the most important thing is that I am happy!"

Randolph Churchill shrugged. In fact, he didn't like JP Morgan either.

The reason is simple, because the guy is very rich.

"You may not like him, but I want to remind you that this banquet is hosted by Sir Edward Thornton! There is no need for you to cause trouble at this banquet," Randolph Churchill reminded.

"This party is different from the ones you've attended before!"

Behind Edward Thornton is the British Empire.

This banquet was also organized by Edward Thornton to connect those capitalists with British capital backgrounds with Chen Zhengwei.

On the one hand, Chen Zhengwei can bring huge benefits. Chicago, San Francisco, and even the Los Angeles that is about to be built, these places cannot avoid him.

On the other hand, it was also Chen Zhengwei's style of doing things. He would often blow up a person's entire family. Many wealthy people had died at his hands, especially Leland Stanford, who had a British backer.

This banquet also told him who could not be moved.

"Of course!" Chen Zhengwei smiled.

He really had no intention of causing trouble at the evening party. After all, Britain controlled the world's shipping routes, and he was also planning to buy a batch of ships in Britain.

He just wanted to have a good talk with JP Morgan.

"By the way, there is another gentleman who wishes to apologize to you," Randolph Churchill said, changing the subject.

"You can make your request and ask him to make compensation!"

Someone approached him and asked him to be a middleman.

Considering the benefits, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

"Apologize? When I was in Washington, people from the Remington family came to me in person to offer compensation. Now I'm in New York, and they haven't even seen me!" Chen Zhengwei took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, asking lazily.

"It's so fucking hard for me to deal with them like this!"

He knew who the other party was talking about.

The founder of Pratt & Whitney, another company that placed its own orders.

They haven't appeared in front of me yet, and they can't even eat hot shit. They deserve to die with their whole family!
"Chen, you can make your request!" said Randolph Churchill.

"They are in New York? It seems that you have received a lot of benefits from them. But it doesn't matter. For the sake of our friendship, I will help you. Dead people will not ask you to return the money!" Chen Zhengwei grinned.

"Give me their address!"

"Chen, you are different now. You are now a member of the upper class, and the upper class has its own rules!" Randolph Churchill kindly reminded.

"Do you remember what I said to you just now?" Chen Zhengwei exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a look of contempt.

"The world is big, but my happiness is the biggest!" Put away his fangs and claws and play tricks on those capitalists? Is he a fool?

And since he had received compensation from Remington, he needed to find a chicken to kill for others to see.

Otherwise, how would others see him?

In fact, he had sent someone halfway to East Hartford, where Pratt & Whitney was located.

Seeing that Randolph Churchill was not going to tell him the other party's address, Chen Zhengwei narrowed his eyes and said, "Randolph... In terms of interests, I represent long-term interests. Our cooperation can last for a long time, and I have a business deal to give you! In terms of emotions, we are friends, you should help me!"

Seeing that Chen Zhengwei was already very impatient and unhappy, Randolph Churchill could only tell Chen Zhengwei the other party's address.

"Wait a minute, come here and write it down!" Chen Zhengwei waved to the thug beside him.

After the henchman wrote down the address and name, Chen Zhengwei laughed out loud, with a warm look on his face:

"That's right, we are friends!"

"I plan to buy a batch of ships, merchant ships and gunboats, all iron steam ships. This is a big business worth tens of millions!" said Chen Zhengwei.

He didn't intend to rely solely on Edward Thornton to buy the ship. Wouldn't that mean he would be at the mercy of others?
He would buy from whichever side had the lowest price and the best boat.

And he could place part of the order on both sides.

After hearing Chen Zhengwei's words, Randolph Churchill immediately forgot about Francis Pratt and Amos Whitney.

These two people are not important at all.

It's just a deal.

Since Chen Zhengwei doesn't like them, forget it.

The two chatted for a while, and Randolph Churchill left happily.

This is indeed big business.

As long as he can do it, the benefits he can get as a middleman will be more than $50.

Watching Randolph Churchill leave, Chen Zhengwei waved to the side and called Aaron: "Go find Eastman!"

After giving the instructions, Chen Zhengwei thought about it and felt that there seemed no need to make a dress.

Lin Changning was wearing a cheongsam, so there must be some in her luggage.

As for him, most of the time he wears suits drawn from the system.

No one would laugh at him for wearing the same clothes multiple times, right? Surely not? No one would be that superficial, right?

But he still went upstairs and slapped Lin Changning on the butt.

"Come on, I'll show you around New York and buy you some jewelry! I have a dinner party to attend tomorrow!"

A moment later, Chen Zhengwei and Lin Changning went out, followed by a dozen men.

Chen Zhengwei looked at the shops on both sides, and when he saw a jewelry store, he walked in to take a look, and his men behind him followed in one after another.

The clerk inside saw a group of people pouring in. Even the customers in the store were affected. He was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he carefully greeted them: "Good afternoon, sir and madam!"

The moment they saw Chen Zhengwei, they knew who was coming.

No one dared to express dissatisfaction. Even the original customers in the store did not dare to show any strange expression and left one after another.

Chen Zhengwei slumped on the sofa, crossed his legs, lit a cigar, and asked the jewelry store to bring out the best things.

While smoking a cigar, he turned his head and said to Lin Changning: "I went into a restaurant before, guess what they said? Cleaning insects are not welcome!"

"Guess what happened next?"

"What happened?" This was not the first time that Lin Changning had heard this story, so she cooperated with Chen Zhengwei and turned her head to look at him with her beautiful eyes.

"That night the restaurant caught fire!" Chen Zhengwei laughed and said excitedly:

"I said at that time that no store in San Francisco would dare not welcome me!"

"You did it! There is no one like you in the whole of America now." Lin Changning's voice was gentle, and his eyes were filled with love and pride.

Even though this guy is a jerk, he's really great.

Lin Changning felt that no one was more amazing than him.

The two of them went to several jewelry stores in succession, and the men behind them helped carry the boxes one by one.

When walking out of a jewelry store, Eastman stood beside the carriage and said respectfully:

"Mr. Chen!"

Then her eyes swept over Lin Changning, and she was somewhat surprised. Lin Changning's temperament was even more beautiful than her.

But Eastman didn't dare to look any further, and just said, "Hello, ma'am!"

"Where is the paper?" Chen Zhengwei turned around and asked the men behind him, and someone immediately handed him a folded piece of paper.

Chen Zhengwei opened it and took a look: "Brimmer Hotel..."

Then he handed the paper to Eastman and said, "Assign someone to help me keep an eye on these two people!"

“Then find someone who understands stocks and can operate stocks to come and help me do something!”

Since he was ready to take them down, Chen Zhengwei decided to see if he could short Pratt & Whitney's stock.

Of course, the prerequisite is that their company is listed.

"I understand, Mr. Chen!" Eastman nodded.

"How is the slot machine business?" Chen Zhengwei asked again.

"Very good!" Eastman's face was filled with smiles when talking about this.

In addition to Chicago, a batch of slot machines were also sent to New York.

The popularity and profits of this batch of slot machines exceeded Eastman's expectations.

After all, New York is a big city. He can earn at least an extra four or five hundred thousand dollars a year, which is equivalent to the income of his entire gang.

In particular, not enough slot machines were delivered, and they are not yet enough to cover the entire New York.

Once the floor is fully occupied, his income can at least double.

"Remember, this is our slot machine business. I don't want to see other slot machines on the market!" Chen Zhengwei patted Eastman on the back.

"Of course!" Eastman's heart sank. He had indeed had a slot machine disassembled in order to study how it was made.

After all, this thing is simple and the profit is so huge.

"Okay, go and arrange it!" said Chen Zhengwei.

……

In the evening, when Chen Zhengwei was having dinner, he saw Eastman bringing two middle-aged men.

"Mr. Chen, they are stockbrokers at the exchange! You can ask them if you have any questions!" Eastman said.

"Good evening, sir!" The two middle-aged men faced Chen Zhengwei with caution.

They knew Eastman's identity because he also bought stock.

They also know who Chen Zhengwei is. Now there are few people in the United States who don’t know Chen Zhengwei.

Especially for people like them, who were well-informed about gossip and knew more. Seeing that Eastman was so careful with Chen Zhengwei, they dared not neglect him.

"Find a place to wait for me!" Chen Zhengwei said while eating.
