Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 871

"Upper society?" Tang Zhenglong looked at Qin Haoran in astonishment: "How can we, who are gangsters like us, become upper society?"

Qin Haoran smiled and said: "The so-called high society, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a circle made up of money and power. But this has to be done slowly, and there is no need to rush, otherwise you will not be able to enter the high society, and you will be punished by others." It’s like a nouveau riche.”

"Qin Xiaoyou, we are very clear about our origins. If we want to talk about entering the upper class, attending dances or dinner parties, we really can't learn it." Tang Zhenglong said with a wry smile.

"Hehehehe, in fact, this is also a kind of protection for you." Qin Haoran said: "Besides, the young hall master is actually entering the circle of high society now. Because the people he contacts now, except those in the underworld Or maybe there are many rich and powerful sons and daughters besides doing that side business."

Tang Zhenglong remained silent, and then said: "Ah Xin did have contact with those sons and daughters, but most of them were eating, drinking and having fun, and didn't do anything serious."

Qin Haoran leaned back on the back of the chair and said: "This is also a kind of interpersonal communication. Being in that circle, it will be much more convenient to do business, because such interpersonal relationship itself is a kind of resource."

"Perhaps you are right. Well, we will set up a company in a few days." Tang Zhenglong said, "Qin Xiaoyou, what kind of company should we start? Do you have any good suggestions?"

Qin Haoran rubbed his chin and said, "If you have sufficient funds, then invest in the construction industry. In the post-war years in the United States, the economy has developed rapidly. Whether it is a company or an individual, the demand for buildings is very large. .And this is an industry, which can strengthen the foundation of your business and make it easier for you to operate funds."

Hearing Qin Haoran's last words, Tang Zhenglong's eyes lit up, because he knew that Qin Haoran's "operating funds" referred to the laundering and transfer of the funds earned by "Loyalty Hall" and those side businesses. operate.

"Okay, okay, then I'll ask someone to take a look. Anyway, our money is useless in the bank." Tang Zhenglong smiled and said: "Thank you, Qin Xiaoyou."

Qin Haoran waved his hand to express that you are welcome, and Tang Zhenglong also immediately contacted his fellow countryman in New York, asking him to try his best to help Qin Haoran when the time comes.

After bidding farewell to Tang Zhenglong, Qin Haoran returned to the Carlton Hotel, intending to take He Sirou and Ouyang Bi out for a stroll, none of them had seen the prosperity of this big city in the United States yet.

Just do what you said, after returning to the Carlton Hotel, Qin Haoran made his proposal, and Ouyang Bi and He Sirou naturally agreed, especially Ouyang Bi, who almost bored her in the hotel, and she They don't go to the hotel's nightclub to drink and have fun, so when they heard that Qin Haoran was going to take them out shopping, he immediately became excited.

In fact, there are still many places worth visiting in Los Angeles, such as "Hollywood".

At this time, the Hollywood area has become the center of the American film and television industry, but as a part of Los Angeles, Hollywood has its own independence, just like a city within a city.

However, Hollywood is not as open to tourists as it will be in the future, so as not to affect the filming work of major film companies.However, through the relationship of "Loyalty Hall", Qin Haoran and the others can easily enter it.

Walking into this world-renowned film and television industry center, Ouyang Bi and He Sirou were both curious and excited. Tang Xin even arranged a tour guide for Qin Haoran and the others—an assistant director of MGM Films.

With this assistant director as a tour guide, Qin Haoran and the others can visit Hollywood more conveniently. At the same time, they can visit the filming work of these film companies, but it makes Ouyang Bi, He Sirou and even Fang Jintang feast their eyes.

However, He Sirou is not one of those star-chasers, and he is not familiar with movie stars, so seeing those male and female movie stars that the native American residents are crazy about doesn't have any special feelings.Not to mention Ouyang Bi, before going to Hong Kong, she hadn't even watched a movie, and her favorite was Hong Kong martial arts movies, but she was not interested in Western movies at all.

At this time, Qin Haoran and the others were coming out of a studio tour, when a white man in a suit walked up to him, and he didn't know whether the man was absent-minded or unsteady, and bumped into Qin Haoran who was walking in front .

This Caucasian man was not considered tall, and his figure was even more thin, so after bumping into Qin Haoran, he was immediately knocked back two steps, but he was very polite, and quickly said sorry to Qin Haoran.

Qin Haoran was about to say "it's okay", when he saw the familiar face of this white man, he couldn't help but take a closer look, and found that the corners of his eyes and lips were bruised, it was obvious that he had been beaten not long ago.

Seeing the bruise on this man's face, Qin Haoran immediately remembered that this white man was the guy who bumped into Tang Xin's "Rolls Royce" that day and was beaten by Tang Xin's men.

"If you want to say sorry, it should be me." Qin Haoran said to the white man with a smile.

"Huh?" The white man didn't know why for a while, because Qin Haoran sat in the car that day and didn't get off, and he didn't see Qin Haoran, so he didn't understand what Qin Haoran was talking about.

Qin Haoran explained with a smile: "You hit our car that day, and then you were beaten up by my friend's men. I'm really sorry to say it. My friend is a very impulsive guy. I'm here to apologize to you on his behalf. .”

After Qin Haoran said this, the man immediately remembered, and at the same time looked at Qin Haoran in horror, and involuntarily took two steps back, especially when he saw several stern-faced men behind Qin Haoran.

Qin Haoran quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "My friend, I really didn't mean anything malicious. I apologize to you for my friend's impulsive actions that day."

Perhaps seeing Qin Haoran's sincerity, the expression on the white man's face eased a little, and he said earnestly: "That friend of yours is really a murderer, although I was wrong when I hit your car, but it doesn't have to be like that Treat me roughly."

Qin Haoran smiled, in fact, he was really apologetic to this white man, so he said: "Well, to express my apology, let me treat you to a meal, I heard there is a very good restaurant here .”

The white man looked timidly at the people behind Qin Haoran, as if he was afraid that Qin Haoran would order those people to beat him up again.

His timid and cautious appearance made Qin Haoran smile: "Friend, we really don't have any malicious intentions. Could it be that you think you have something that deserves our disadvantage?"

Hearing what Qin Haoran said, the man also said to himself: "That's true, I'm not a rich man."

Then he raised his head and said to Qin Haoran: "Well, I'm just hungry anyway."

Qin Haoran smiled and made a gesture of invitation to him, and then led by the assistant director to a restaurant near here.The food in this restaurant is varied, such as hamburgers, hot dogs, spaghetti, apple pie, lamb chops, etc., and the environment is open, casual and leisurely.

Qin Haoran sat at a table with Ouyang Bi, He Sirou and the white man, while Fang Jintang, Qin Mastiff and other subordinates sat at the next table.

"My friend, I still don't know what to call you." Qin Haoran asked with a smile.

The man said, "Noyce, Robert Noyce."

"My name is Qin Haoran, you can call me Qin." Qin Haoran also smiled.

For some reason, Qin Haoran felt that the name "Robert Noyce" sounded familiar.

And this Robert Noyce also smiled at Qin Haoran: "It's the first time I've seen so many **** people."

As soon as he said this, Qin Haoran, He Sirou, Fang Jintang, and Kong Weicai, who could understand English, immediately changed their expressions, but Qin Haoran immediately knew that Noyce didn't do it on purpose, because his face There is no provocation or contempt in it, it is pure curiosity.

"Mr. Noyce, we are Chinese, not Chinese. Although these two pronunciations are similar, please be sure to distinguish them, because there is a serious meaning of discrimination in them!" Qin Haoran reminded Noy seriously. s.

Noyce did not mean it. After hearing what Qin Haoran said, he quickly apologized and explained: "I'm sorry, I really don't know, because we all call you Chinese people that way, I thought it was just a title. .”

Qin Haoran sighed inwardly. This discriminatory appellation of "*** people" began to spread in the late Qing Dynasty. Not to mention that the situation of the Republic is still very backward. Even in the 21st century, other countries called Chinese people There are also many people who are people.

Americans like Noyce do not necessarily discriminate against Chinese people, but they don't know much about China, and think that the widely circulated "Chinese people" is just a simple appellation.

So after Qin Haoran made it clear, Noyce immediately apologized, and Qin Haoran could tell that this is a highly educated person with a sense of knowledge all over his body.

In order to divert this unpleasant topic, Qin Haoran asked Noyce, "Noyce, are you an employee of the film company here?"

"Oh, no, no, I'm just here to discuss business." Noyce shook his head and waved his hands: "I am in the research and development and sales of semiconductors, and these film companies use semiconductors for many electronic devices, so is our main client."

"Semiconductor?" Qin Haoran asked with interest: "Could it be that Noyce is from Silicon Valley?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of inspiration flashed in Qin Haoran's heart, and he also remembered who this Noyce was.
