Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 179: Stopover in Hawaii

In September of the 17th year of the Republic of China, Honolulu, the main island of the Hawaiian Islands, also known as Honolulu.

The ocean liner 'Empress of Asia', which departed from Shanghai, stopped at the pier in Hawaii to rest before its next stop.

The reason why Hawaii is known as Honolulu is because the first group of Chinese who came here were all businessmen.

They discovered that sandalwood was produced in abundance here, and this wood could be sold at a high price in the country. Moreover, Hawaii at that time did not collect taxes from merchants. No taxes meant huge profits, which led to countless merchants traveling back and forth here, and thus the elegant name of Honolulu came into being.

On the deck, Duanmu Ying, who was in her twenties, breathed in the fresh air and stretched, showing off her beautiful figure to the fullest.

"Finally we have a place to stop. Brother Yi, can you take us down for a walk?"

"You said it as if you wouldn't go down if I didn't take you with me. If I hadn't agreed to Mr. Duanmu's request, I'm afraid you would be in the United States by now."

After Wang Yi exposed her thoughts, Duanmu Ying stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to reply, because she would really do that. However, her cute and adorable appearance became a beautiful scenery among the guests who came out to breathe fresh air on the deck.

Many male compatriots were attracted by Duanmu Ying, who was wearing a brown vest with a shirt, tight trousers with long boots, and a ponytail, and radiated her youthful and lively aura.

As for the female compatriots, they looked in the direction where Duanmu Ying was talking. There were four people sitting at the table in that direction, two Chinese faces, two white faces, one old and three young.

The older one is naturally Hendler. Although the old man is American, his suit and gentleman's crutch do have some British style.

The slightly younger one is Li Tianran, the Chinese son adopted by Hendler, an American father. His outfit is exactly the same as Hendler's. His outstanding height, sharp face, and sunny aura also give people a refreshing feeling that Chinese people can look stylish in suits.

The other one is responsible for all the expenses of this trip to the United States. He is the son of the director of the American Inhuman organization, Behemoth Foundation, Vincent Chamberlain. He is the classic image of a prince charming aristocrat, and he exudes two words from the inside out - elegance.

The last one is naturally our protagonist Wang Yi, who is wearing a black robe, leaning back in a chair with his eyes closed, enjoying the sunshine. Although he is right in front of us, he makes people feel as if he is integrated with nature, indescribably indifferent.

The four people with different styles, plus the lively and pretty Duanmu Ying, can be said to have attracted much attention since they boarded the ship in Shanghai. During the nearly half-month ocean voyage, many wealthy people who took the cruise ship to the United States wanted to have some stories with this small group.

Otherwise, this long journey, like a lonely island on the sea after stopping at Kobe and Yokohama, would be too boring. As for whether the stories on the ship will be carried over to the destination, that is another matter.

As the saying goes, when you are on a boat, don't think about the people on shore, and when you get off the boat, don't mention things at sea. If two people go on a boat at sea together, each person has his or her own room and his or her own world.

Wang Yi felt a little tired after being awakened from his sunbathing state by Duanmu Ying. He still took this sea trip for granted.

They thought it would take at most half a month, but looking at the situation, after resupplying in Hawaii and picking up another group of passengers to the United States, it would take another week to reach New York Harbor. In the meantime, all they could see was the sea, the vast sea. This feeling of being isolated from the world was indeed not something that everyone could bear.

Hearing Wang Yi's indifferent attitude, Duanmu Ying, who always had her own ideas, also turned her eyes to Qian Bo'er who was drinking coffee.

"Wallet, let's go down and take a walk. You've been treating me all this time. This time it's my turn to treat you to a meal of this local delicacy. What's it called? What's it called... Le."

"Lock & Lock, Miss Duanmu Ying, could you please call me by my correct name for once?"

"But your last name is Qian. You foreigners don't always use your first name first and last name last. Vincent Chamblee, you have been responsible for our expenses on the ship since we got on board. Is there anything wrong with calling me wallet?"

Looking at Duanmu Ying's self-righteous and dazed expression, Qianbol opened his mouth, wanting to explain to her that he should actually be called Vincent Chamblee. The reason why it became Qianbol was because of the suggestion made by the Chinese who was accompanying him, who said that if he wanted to travel in the Republic of China, it would be best to make his name as less difficult to pronounce as possible when translating it into Chinese, so that it would be easier to remember. That's why the English name Chamblee was changed to Qianbol.

But he didn't know if this name was remembered by anyone, but the nickname already existed. Thinking of this, Qian Boer glared at Wang Yi unhappily. It was all this guy's fault!

At this time, Wang Yi had already stood at the deck railing with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery, completely ignoring the resentful look from his buddy behind him. And this had nothing to do with him. When he came back from the border in Beijing, he had already made up his mind to go abroad, and he was just thinking about when to go.

At that time, Duanmu Ying's father came up and said that Duanmu Ying had been acting strange recently. She was probably thinking about studying medicine abroad, and might even want to sneak away to study medicine abroad.

Indeed, if there had not been the outlier Wang Yi, this girl would have spent only one or two years to go abroad to study medicine with her family's money.

But because of the addition of Wang Yi, Wang Yi didn't know why the father came to him and asked him to help send his daughter abroad to study medicine. At this time, the American Inhuman Organization Behemoth Foundation represented by Chamber and Hendler wanted to contact him and cooperate with him to promote the research on Inhumans.

Only then did he go along with the request of the other parents and asked Duanmu Ying to pack her luggage and take the housekeeper to Shanghai to wait for them, and then go together.

That's all he did. As for the fact that all your expenses on the 'Empress of Asia' would be covered by me, Qian, that was purely done by Qian Bo, a true descendant of the Stars and Stripes whose ancestors sailed to America on the Mayflower. He didn't instigate it.

"In that case, let's all go down and take a walk. I heard from the captain that we need to rest here for a day. I'm tired of the food on the ship. I really want to try what the Lock & Lock in Honolulu is. Wait a moment, I'll go get the money."

"Just let it go. You shouldn't be in such a hurry to ask Thomas Chen to exchange your $10,000 for gold bars."

As soon as he heard that Wang Yi wanted to treat him, this American flag son of the Stars and Stripes became inexplicably excited, as if he could defeat you with his money. As for the work that Wang Yi had ordered his Chinese housekeeper to do in the Shanghai Consulate before, he really didn't care at all. As a businessman, he understood Wang Yi's approach, which was to cast a wide net.

Looking at Qian Bol who was the first to get off the boat, Wang Yi could only spread his hands to Duanmu Ying and expressed his helplessness. Young Master Qian just didn't want us to spend money and insisted on giving himself the code name of a wallet. He had no other choice.

But for now, Wang Yi has a good impression of Qian Boer, the innate alien from the United States. It is not wrong to say that he is arrogant. In his opinion, the Republic of China is indeed a poor and remote place, and it can't even do many big business in selling arms. Those aliens have no resistance to hot weapons, but they do respect the strong.

Wang Yi's nonchalant exposure of his own methods in the consulate also impressed him and made Qian Bol understand that there are indeed some aliens who can ignore the current threat of hot weapons. And after seeing someone as powerful as Wang Yi, who is also the new alien in the words of Hendler, an alien research expert, Qian Bol also wanted to make friends with Wang Yi to help their family.

Even within the Inhuman organization with the background of Behemoth's own consortium, it cannot be considered a solid block, not to mention the current environment in the United States. Arms dealers are indeed not as popular as those on Wall Street within the consortium.

After arriving at the pier, they rented a horse carriage to go into the city. After paying a tip, the driver took Wang Yi and his friends to a restaurant run by a local. Only then did Wang Yi know what the so-called Hawaiian local specialty dish, Lock & Moko, was.

Papaya, hamburger, meat and egg marinated rice, and Duanmu Ying gave this dish an extremely memorable name, Hawaiian Rice.

But after the meal, Wang Yi also had a new goal for his trip abroad. When he arrives in New York, he must go to Chinatown to find a master chef to learn how to cook some authentic Chinese dishes, otherwise life will be difficult!

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the four of them had a full meal. As a handsome man, Qian Boer once again showed his wallet characteristics. He would pay for any shopping. Although Duanmu Ying and Li Tianran were not as abnormal as Wang Yi, one was a child of a medical family, and the other had two unique skills of escape. They were both high-end talents. Qian Boer still had a business sense to spend a little money to get a big benefit.

Besides, Mei Ye has nothing else but money!

Hendler, on the other hand, was too lazy to interact with these young people. He just kept shouting at the waiter to keep bringing more wine, and then he poured it into his own mouth. It seemed that he would not stop until he got alcohol poisoning.

Wang Yi was also puzzled by this. He was not a qualified historian, so he naturally did not know that although the current economic situation in the United States was very good and would continue to prosper until around the end of next year, there was still a prohibition on alcohol that had to be followed even in such a good economic situation.

If he knew, he would understand why Hendler lived in Beijing all year round and only went back to the United States every three to five years. I have money and land, but I have to be arrested and put in jail for drinking. Whoever wants to stay in this shitty America can stay there. I'd rather live in the Republic of China!

While Qian Bol was taking Wang Yi and the other two to tour the city, Wang Yi's eyes turned to a clothing store with a sign with Chinese characters on it. After thinking for a while, he told Qian Bol, Duanmu Ying and Li Tianran that he wanted to go shopping alone. Then they separated at an intersection ahead, and in a few flashes, they used their magical powers to shrink the ground into an inch in the direction of the pier.

In a quarter of an hour, he returned to the ship with his ticket, and got off the ship again with his small suitcase containing a dozen gold bars and activity funds. Then, using the magical power of shrinking the earth into an inch, he returned to the city in a moment, and returned to the clothing store with a Chinese character sign that he had been looking at before.

He glanced through the window at the Chinese boss who was reading a newspaper inside, and then he used the technique of shaping bones and painting skin that he learned from Master Quan Xing, the dough figurine Liu, to sculpt a new face for himself in front of the window.

He didn't need to deliberately adjust his body shape. As for the template for face shaping, he had it in his mind and just made it based on Keanu Reeves, who was not even a fertilized egg at the moment.

After making sure that he looked no different from the cool guy in his impression, he carried his suitcase and walked in.

"Boss, business is coming."

As soon as the doorbell rang, the boss actually responded, but he couldn't understand why a white guy with a mixed-race face and wearing a robe spoke with a Beijing dialect accent. It was too complicated.

Before he could ask, a gold bar was placed in front of his desk. Then the other party drew a line with his finger and separated one-tenth of the ten-liang gold bar and handed it to him.

"Time is running out, make a nice suit."

The shopkeeper was stunned. This guy is so direct!
But Hawaii itself is a place where Chinese, Japanese, Americans, and locals live together. To be able to open a clothing store here, one must naturally know some ways to survive. Moreover, the other party's methods are not like those of ordinary people. He knows what to ask and what not to ask.

He took a quick look at Wang Yi and had a specific size in his mind. He immediately put the one or two pounds of gold nugget into his sleeve. This was just enough money.

"Young man, slow work produces fine results. Just come and get it before 5pm."

Hearing this, Wang Yi stroked the gold bar twice with his fingers and handed another gold nugget weighing two taels to the old man.

"The shopkeeper is straightforward, so I won't bother two people with one thing. There is no place to make fake identities here. Who should I find to do it? How much is the price? How quickly can I get it? Here, one is to consult, and the other is to run errands."

"What are you talking about, little brother? There is no such thing as a fake identity. The place is easy to find, and the person is easy to find, but don't be so generous."

"But at least there won't be any trouble this way. Besides, it's better to keep the wealth within the family."

The old man was even happier when he heard this, and shouted into the inner room. A waiter came running over quickly. The old man told the young man about Wang Yi's request in front of him, and took out ten dollars from the cash box and put it in the young man's hand. In an era when a bicycle only costs 4 to 5 dollars, ten dollars is a lot of money, more than the waiter's monthly salary.

But who can blame Wang Yi for being so generous? The three taels of gold were enough to close the shop for two months, and he was happy to give the guy a big red envelope.

"Let my apprentice take you there. As for your request, if you want to get it today without any flaws, you can just give me two more pieces. These two pieces are enough for you to not treat me as a human being today and order me around however you want."

"Then I'd like to thank the shopkeeper first. I'll come to pick up my clothes in the afternoon."

"Okay, it's definitely good stuff and great craftsmanship, don't worry, little brother."

Sure enough, in the capitalist world, there is nothing that money can't do. If there is, it's only because you don't have enough money.

Led by the clerk in the clothing store, Wang Yi came to the local management department and found the supervisor. With two taels of gold bars, the supervisor arranged a real life certificate for Wang Yi. He was a real New Yorker, but his parents died in a shipwreck while visiting relatives in Hawaii. He was left alone and was adopted by a local uncle. Now his uncle is gone, but he has become an adult and wants to return to New York to start a new life.

"By the way, you haven't told me your name yet."

"John Wick."

"Okay Mr. Wicker, is there anything else I can help you with? The photos I took for you will take some time to develop."

"I want to exchange all the gold bars and some of the silver dollars I have here for U.S. dollars. If you have a friend in the bank, you and your friend will each have three Benjamins."

"I am flattered by your generosity. As it happens, I do have a friend who is an executive at Citibank."

After completing the whole process, Wang Yi exchanged the activity funds in his hand into twenty-denomination and ten-denomination US dollars and some hundred-dollar bills, which added up to about ten thousand yuan.

After finishing all this and collecting his suit, he returned to the dock and used the identity of John Wick to buy a first-class ticket to New York on the "Empress of Asia" which stopped here for rest. He was led by the waiter into another room and told the other party not to bring him food. Then, when the waiter left, he followed him out using optical invisibility.

In the bathroom, he returned to his original appearance.

As for why he went to so much trouble to get an identity as John Wicker, there is a saying from our ancestors that fame and fortune in this world cannot be gained through others. No matter how much he cooperates with Behemoth, conflicts are inevitable.

He wanted to use the other party's resources to improve his magnetic field martial arts, and the other party also wanted to use his own strength to better understand the aliens, and even strengthen his own aliens.

Everyone takes what they need.

He went abroad to find a capital to use as a tiger skin, so that when he returns home, he can use this tiger skin to do things more conveniently. Qian Boer, the son of the director of the Behemoth consortium, is a good partner, but if possible, he wants to become a big capitalist tiger himself, and it is not impossible.

After all, a little later than this time next year, the US stock market crash will begin. The crash was so widespread and had such profound impact that it indirectly led to the start of World War II.

He doesn't have the courage to stop the stock market crash, nor can he do it, but he not only has the courage to make a fortune from the stock market crash, but he has a huge courage!

As long as he is well managed, he is not just a fox pretending to be a tiger, but a real tiger who can provide great help to the predecessors! !
How could he not give this business a try when he could make a lot of money instead of losing money?

As Chamble and his friends came back from their downtown tour, Hendler also drank to his heart's content.

The luxury cruise ship 'Empress of Asia' also carried Wang Yi and his companions to New York Harbor after the last half month of voyage. The Statue of Liberty in the distance was already waving at them.

Wang Yi finally arrived in New York in the late 20s.

　I have to go back to my hometown to pay homage to my elders these two days, so I took a day off yesterday. There will be updates later, but the time cannot be guaranteed. After all, typing on a mobile phone is really inefficient, and the number of chapters cannot be guaranteed. Normal updates will resume on the 11th. I hope all book friends can understand.
