Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 652 Credit Card Service Center

The second day Chen Li arrived in New York, his task was to play!

It's not that he doesn't need to pay attention to the listing of Red Horse Technology, mainly because there are already two mules in charge of these matters.

Chen Li has always been regarded as an idler at Red Horse Technology, and Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi are naturally responsible for the specific work.

Of course ~ Chen Li doesn't care about anything, after all, as a major shareholder ~ Chen Li must know many things.

So~ he sent his assistant Zhang Ruolan and Mu Xiaoqing who had just rushed over, and then he asked Howard Wise for his assistant, and started to play.

But ~ Chen Li's interest in playing around became less and less.

Wuhe~Although there are many famous scenic spots in New York, most of them are a combination of steel and cement.

For example, the famous Twin Towers~ and the Empire State Building that has been destroyed countless times in movies, and the Brooklyn Bridge that has been bombed countless times in film and television dramas, etc.

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

That's right~ In mid-January 2001, Chen Li, who was reborn after more than 1 years, evaluated Times Square in this way.

To be honest~ In 2001, Times Square can be described as a combination of technology and trendy culture. Coupled with its complex influence and the prosperity of the surrounding economy, it is absolutely fine to say that Times Square is a landmark area in New York and even the entire United States. of.

Here~ whether it is day or night, the entire square is covered by those huge electronic billboards, accompanied by an average daily high-density flow of tens of millions of people, directly attracting wealth codes to this triangle area.

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

It's just that, unlike the almost flooded and cheap advertising business later, the advertising business in Times Square is still quite awesome these days.

Coupled with the fact that this is a landmark area in the United States, many people in China subconsciously think that companies and individuals who can appear on the billboards in Times Square are definitely awesome.

But in fact, Chen Li, who was reborn from a later life, knew very well that the billboards in this hanging place... In fact, if you have money, you can go there.

Of course~ The point is to have money!
Especially in 2001, the advertising prices in Times Square were simply not comparable to the flood of small screens 20 years later.

But this kind of thing is of little interest to ordinary people, but to those who are really rich or have other purposes, it is just a little advertising fee, trivial!

Uh~ Well, here are the companies that talk about their company's login to Times Square every now and then.

The Two-dimensional girlfriend of Chen Li in the previous life was fooled by this. At that time, she joined a company, and at first she thought it was a large multinational cooperation company. After all, she stayed on the billboard at NASDAQ That's one month.

As a result, I found out later that the broken billboard only advertised their company once a day, for 15 seconds each time, and the cost of a month was even less than 2 yuan, and the unit was Huaxia coins.

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

All kinds of billboards ~ and tourists from all over the world ~ of all colors.

To put it simply~ this place is actually made up of billboards and people!
As for the luxury shops on the side of the road and the well-known companies in those buildings ~ ordinary people can't feel it at all!

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

But this kind of thing~ Chen Li can also see it in Huaxia in his previous life!
So ~ if those incidental influences are excluded, Times Square is actually the same in Chen Li's eyes.

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

"Because it's the Chinese New Year for you Chinese people in two days!"

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

From the name, it can be seen that this Dean Wise and Howard Wise must have something to do with each other.

In fact~ Howard Wise is Dean Wise's uncle, so Americans actually engage in nepotism.

"Oh~ that was quite lively!"

When Chen Li said this, he felt somewhat emotional, mainly because the Spring Festival in China is becoming less and less old-fashioned these days.

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

On the contrary, the Spring Festival for overseas Chinese is getting more and more like that.

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

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

Because in the eyes of Little Wise ~ 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 thoughts. In fact, although Chen Li is a little homesick, he is not so depressed.

In his previous life, Chen Li did not go home for the New Year for several years, especially as the taste of the New Year became less and less. In fact, the Spring Festival was not as important as he imagined for Chen Li, who was still a laborer at the time.

Of course~ the current Chen Li attaches great importance to the Spring Festival, but it is not to the extent that homesickness makes him sulk.

The reason why Chen Li is in a bad mood at the moment is mainly because he just spent a large sum of money.

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

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

Then~ that guy took a check from Li Chen and left.

The number on the check was quite large, but it was for ordinary people. For a rich man of Chen Li's level, this amount of money was naturally nothing.

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

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

To be honest~ There was a moment before. Chen Li actually wanted to give up this so-called lawsuit. After all, spending more than 100 million Huaxia coins to fight a lawsuit just to win a sigh of relief feels a bit uneconomical.

But in the end, Chen Li handed over the check to the other party. Although he felt sorry for the money, Chen Li knew better that some things had to be done by someone.

But having said that~ the money was spent, Chen Li was naturally a little emotional, so he was very unhappy at this moment.

This person is unhappy~ Naturally, he is not interested in most things.

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

"The famous Broadway theater is right in front of it, and there is a performance of "The Phantom of the Opera" here tonight."

"Do you need me to book a few tickets for you?"

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

The predecessor of this theater was the Metropolitan Auditorium, but unlike the famous Broadway theater today, the previous concert hall did not operate very well.

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.

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

It can even be said to be fresh in memory.

The reason for this~ is because there is a Bainaohui computer city in Rongcheng, um~ it's the brain of the head!

And that computer city 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 is quite familiar with the Broadway theater he "copied".

Of course ~ even if there is no computer city, Chen Li still knows Broadway theater ~ also knows "Phantom of the Opera".

But what is the specific situation? Chen Li is not so familiar with it.

So upon hearing this, Chen Li nodded and said:

"Okay, then please book a few tickets for me."

"Hmm, let's have nine!"

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

But for things like musicals, Chen Li would definitely bring Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi with him, and their assistants also had to be counted, so there were nine of them.

"no problem!"

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

Chen Li heard something about the phone call~ After all, Xiao Wise didn't hide it, and the opposite side of the phone seemed to be MasterCard's credit card service center.

When he 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 never owned it~ but the story about the king of this credit card in his previous life was very popular in China.

What kind of short stories such as plane U-turn ~ train suspension and so on, it's called evil!

But in fact ~ more than 90.00% of those so-called stories are fictional.

As for how did Chen Li know. Because although Chen Li hadn't had it himself, he had seen it~ and more than once.

First of all~ Not to mention that this card has no high added value at all, even if it does, it needs to be paid by the cardholder himself.

For example, the so-called U-turn of the plane, first of all, it is impossible for any regular airline to allow such an outrageous request.

Of course~ Except for private jets or chartered flights!
So what can the Black Gold Centurion Card do?From what Chen Li learned from a genuine black gold card owner in his previous life, it is definitely impossible for the plane to turn around, but there are indeed some things that can be changed before the plane takes off.

For example~ when the original check-in time is over, and you have not even arrived at the airport, then you can use the so-called privileges and ask the service center to help you coordinate.

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

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

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

Many people 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 but the American Express Company!
Many people think that American Express is engaged in credit cards, but in fact, American Express is the world's largest travel service and comprehensive financial, financial investment and information processing company.

American Express is in a leading position in many industries such as credit card~traveler's check~travel~financial planning and international banking, and is the only service company among the thirty companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Index.

Credit card~travel~financial plan and service company, when these terms are added together, smart people can probably understand why the black gold centurion card has so much added value.

To put it bluntly ~ American Express is like a large wishing machine, he tries his best to satisfy those "wishes" that can be settled 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, not everything can be settled by him.

In the previous life, the Internet blew up this centurion card so much that it could break out of the Milky Way ~ people with a little brain probably wouldn't believe it.

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

Especially in Europe!

Note that it is in Europe, because not many people use this thing in the United States.

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

Later, Yuntong regained its business in Europe, so the black gold centurion card is actually the best to use in Europe.

As for Asia, Hong Kong Island and Baodao Province in China are also 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, relying on a black gold card issued to him by his father, ate and drank in the island country, and even cheated little girls.

This was what Chen Li saw with his own eyes in Tokyo. When that guy took out the black card when paying the bill, several girls around him screamed and applauded for no reason.

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