Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 653
Ever since he was reborn~ Chen Li's understanding of this world. I dare not say that he is number one~ but it is definitely far beyond ordinary people.

But in fact, rebirth can only make Chen Li understand those things he knew in his previous life, but if he encounters something that Chen Li has never been in contact with or understands in his previous life, he will still be as confused as everyone else.

For example, Chen Li at this moment!
"Indie musician?"

"You want me to donate some money to you?"

"Didn't you say it's free? And I'm not going to ask for your CD either."

At this time, Chen Li was holding a CD in his hand. No~ to be precise, the CD was not actually in his hand, and Chen Li even showed a refusal.

And that CD~ is in the hands of a brother at the moment, and this buddy is trying his best to deliver the CD to Chen Li.

This Nige is not tall, probably not even 1 meters tall, which makes him look very petite in front of Chen Li, who is close to 7 meters tall.

But although he is not big, this Neko has a lot of momentum.

"No, no, brother, you see your name is already written on this CD, it is impossible for me to sell this CD to others."

"So~ you have to pay for this disc."

"50 yuan~ only 50 yuan!"

"You should support some independent musicians like us!"

Purely from the point of view of the content, what Ni Ge said seems to have some truth, but in fact there is a ghost truth.

After finishing the day's schedule, Chen Li went back to the hotel for a rest in the afternoon, and then had dinner with Ma Xiaoyun, Zhou Hongyi and Howard Wise.

I had dinner at a high-end Chinese restaurant in New York. As for the taste, it was actually not bad.

Although it cannot be said to be a truly qualified Chinese dish, it is definitely not unpalatable.

It's just that compared to the taste of the dishes in this restaurant, the prices of the dishes really opened Chen Li's horizons.

To be honest~ the current Chen Li is not a person who has seen the world, and it is not that he has never been to those high-end restaurants in Yanjing City.

But Chen Li never thought that this high-end Chinese food in New York is so ridiculously expensive!

A cage of steamed stuffed buns~ sold for 36 yuan, and the unit is still in US dollars.

Moreover, there are only four steamed buns in a cage, which is nine dollars a steamed stuffed bun. According to the exchange rate of this year, it costs about 70 Huaxia coins.

Of course~ You can accept what kind of crab roe or even dried shrimp is the stuffing of this stuffed bun, but that thing is just an ordinary beef bun.

For this price~ Chen Li’s buns made with Ideal Beef Buns are almost worthless, but this restaurant actually uses ordinary beef.

And the same, the price of buns is actually just a microcosm of this restaurant.

To put it simply and bluntly, this restaurant probably follows the path of "not seeking the best food, but only seeking the most expensive".

In fact, in all fairness, the taste of the dishes in this restaurant is barely good, but with this price, Chen Li felt that his IQ was insulted.

To be honest~ Although these steamed buns costing more than 70 yuan a piece can be regarded as sky-high priced steamed buns even after 20 years, as long as the taste is good, there is no problem with the ingredients~ Some wealthy consumers may not be unacceptable.

After all~ there will always be some people who are stupid and have a lot of money, and they will think that it is expensive for a reason.

For example~ the decoration of this store is high-grade enough, and the tableware used is also a guy with gold and jade inlaid. These things add up to one of the best choices for forks.

So ~ eating in this kind of place, there is no problem at all with a certain premium for the dishes.

Even if the premium is a bit high, it is not a problem at all for those who are stupid and rich.

But the problem is this is 2001.

The average monthly income of most people in the country does not even exceed one thousand yuan, which is the monthly income of most Chinese people. They can also eat ten buns.

Even though this is the United States, the price is definitely outrageous.

So ~ this meal Chen Li did not taste very good!

After the meal, Howard Wise bid farewell and left, while Chen Li and his party headed to the Broadway theater under the leadership of Jr. Wise, intending to watch the famous musical "The Phantom of the Opera".

According to the Chinese habit of digesting food after meals, everyone chose to walk instead of taking a bus to Broadway.

Broadway Avenue at night is very lively, because it is an important place for the development of American theater and musicals. It can even be said that this is synonymous with musicals, so there are many theaters on both sides of this avenue.

This avenue is very long, but Chen Li and the others didn't come to this avenue specifically to play, so although the group stopped and went, the ultimate goal was to enjoy an audio-visual feast.

But just as the group was about to arrive at the theater, Chen Li was suddenly stopped by someone.

That's right~ The other party's goal is very clear, basically they came directly to Chen Li.

As for why Chen Li was chosen, of course it is because Chen Li looks the youngest.

That's right~ Chen Li is the youngest among the group tonight.

And because there are men and women in this group~ it seems to be a small group of several families traveling together.

After all, this is Broadway~ There are countless tourists from all over the world who come here every year, so this brother Nige went to Chen Li directly.

In fact, at the beginning, Brother Ni wanted to catch Chen Li by surprise.

The main reason is that Chen Li and his party are all from the East. This guy intends to use his language advantage to directly insert the CD into Chen Li's hands.

But what I didn't expect was that Chen Li's spoken English was very fluent and standard, so Ni Ge quickly changed his plan and introduced himself directly and asked Chen Li's name.

On the other hand, Chen Li, in fact, he was on guard at the beginning.

No one else~ Although Chen Li has never been to the United States in his previous life, he has seen a lot of the routines of these niggas on the Internet.

Moreover, Chen Li had traveled to Europe in his previous life, and he had also heard about the things that the Ni brothers there stuffed things into people's hands and asked for fees when they disagreed.

So from the very beginning, Chen Li was unwilling to accept the CD handed over by the other party, but when the other party asked him what to call him, he subconsciously said a surname.

It was really just a subconscious answer, mainly because at that time Chen Li had been focusing on refusing the other party to hand him the CD.

But when the surname "Chen" came out of Chen Li's mouth, I saw that Nige quickly took out a marker pen from his pocket and wrote "chan" on the CD, and then this guy was ready to I asked Chen Li to collect the money.

So there was a conversation between the two before!

Alright~ Obviously, Chen Li encountered a small scam.

In fact, Chen Li had some psychological preparations for these so-called small scams.

As mentioned earlier, he traveled to Europe in his previous life, so he made some strategies in advance, and then the tour guide at that time also told some related matters.

So~ Chen Li has a certain understanding of this so-called small scam.

For example, Chen Li knew that it was best not to take a group photo with those guys in fancy clothes over Times Square, even if the other party came to ask you to take a photo, he must refuse.

Unless you are willing to pay!
To be honest~ When this kind of thing started, Chen Li didn't even think it was a scam.

After all, there are a bunch of people who cosplay and even take photos with you with naked body paint. Giving some money is reasonable in Chen Li's opinion.

It's just that when Chen Li knew the amount of tip the other party was asking for, he realized why this thing was called a scam.

Without him~ Those guys really want too much.

In fact, according to Chen Li's spending habits, since he is out to play ~ naturally it is for fun.

So as long as you can have fun and play happily~ then it is completely acceptable to spend some money to find a cartoon character you like or a beautiful long and beautiful body painting beauty to take a group photo with.

But when the amount of the money is 100 US dollars, then Chen Li will definitely not be happy, and also thinks that this kind of thing is really a scam.

Yes ~ 100 US dollars. When Chen Li and Xiao Wise were wandering around Times Square in the morning, they saw a couple from Bangziguo who had been scammed here.

A group of niggas directly surrounded the couple in Bangziguo and demanded $100.

At that time, Chen Li was sighing~ If these guys were not so greedy and honest, it would really be a way to make money by continuing the photo business here.

But people don't think so.

This group of guys will cheat first if they can cheat one. As for the future, who has nothing to do to think about that thing?

So ~ Chen Li is actually wary of the little scams of the ni buddies.

That's why he didn't want to accept the CD that Nige handed him. He reckoned that if he accepted the CD, he would have to pay for it.

It's just that Chen Li never expected that even if he didn't accept the CD, the other party would ask him to pay for it.

This bitch is a little too much!

Especially yesterday, Chen Li had just suffered a loss from a few white buddies, and he had to pay a large amount of legal fees for this.As a result, the buddies came again today~ and the purpose was still for money.

This made Chen Li's not-so-good impression of the United States fall directly to the bottom.

Well~ In fact. It doesn't seem to be surprising, after all, this is Free America!
But this time, the luck of the Ni buddies is not as good as that of the white buddies yesterday, because tonight, Chen Li and his party are not only accompanied by Xiao Wise, but also a few bodyguards.

There was even a bionic bodyguard by Chen Li's side!
And just when that brother called out to several other brothers, and was going to threaten Chen Li to make him pay, Xiao Wise came over from behind with a few bodyguards, and the leader of the bodyguards immediately shot Nani Pushed to the ground.

If it was in Huaxia, this buddy would probably not be able to get up on the ground, but in fact, this brother got up directly.

At first, Chen Li thought that Brother Ni would conflict with those bodyguards, after all, Brother Ni was not afraid of Brother Bai.

But the fact made Chen Li stunned again. Unexpectedly, those buddies who originally planned to come and surround Chen Li just nodded and bowed away.

The Nige who was pushed to the ground by the bodyguards was even more humble. Unlike the previous attitude of threatening Chen Li to pay, he didn't seem to have any temper at this moment.

"Hmph~ Get out!"

The head of the bodyguard snorted coldly, and then the niggas disappeared into the crowd.

"Sir~ I hope this guy didn't disturb your mood."

The head of the bodyguard turned around and smiled at Chen Li, but that smile wasn't very pretty given the guy's physique.

"Johnny is familiar with this area, and he has a great reputation in this area."

Little Wise stood beside Chen Li and explained casually. Chen Li looked at Johnny, then nodded and said:

"Thank you!"

He didn't inquire about Johnny's identity, that's not important!

After all, this is a free America, and what happens is not surprising.

"There are more tourists here, so there are a lot of bad people like this."

"If you are interested in underground music, sir, I can take you to some bars."

"Of course~ Don't worry about safety issues, you can trust us!"

This bodyguard boss is a bit talkative, but not annoying.

In fact, this is mainly because Chen Li is their employer now.

These bodyguards were hired by Xiao Wise to help Chen Li, because Chen Li still has some things to deal with here in the next few days, so he needs some people to help him hold the scene.

In fact, hiring security-type bionic talents from the system is the best choice. After all, bionic people are not only powerful in force~ the most important thing is their absolute loyalty to Chen Li.

But Chen Li is here to do business, not to engage in gang negotiations, so pure force is meaningless.

It's better to invite a few strong and strong Bai buddies to follow, not to mention whether they can protect Chen Li, but at least the ostentation is quite big.

It's just this kind of travel~ Chen Li doesn't like being surrounded by a bunch of people, so the bodyguards followed them just now.

If Chen Li had followed these people from the beginning, it is estimated that Brother Ni would not have approached Chen Li at all.

"No need~ I'm not interested in underground music!"

"Let's go to the theater!"

Chen Li shook his head. He is not a music enthusiast, so naturally he has no interest in underground music.

Moreover, the environment of underground music in the United States is often more complicated.

Don't look at Johnny saying that he can protect Chen Lizhou, but if something happens~ you really can't count on these guys.

So the group walked towards the theater again, but just as they reached the entrance of the theater, Chen Li frowned again.

But this time, it's not that someone troubled Chen Li, but that he met an acquaintance here.

Uh~ They are indeed acquaintances, and they are also acquaintances who just met last night.

It is the Monica Bellucci who will be called the Earth Flower in the future!
"Chen~ what a coincidence!"

"Are you going to the musical, too?"

"I just made an appointment with a friend, shall we go in together?"

As an actor, Chen Li thinks that Monica's "acting skills" are really good at the moment, and the other party interprets a scene that he happened to meet very naturally.

But~ this coincidence is too coincidental!
