"Thank you, I owe you my life."

This guy's life is hard enough. He bleeds so much, but he still hasn't passed out at this time. It can be seen that his usual physical fitness is extraordinary.

Jin Muchen had already seen that this guy and Capote were not ordinary people.

"Okay, you have a good rest."

As soon as Fang Bo saw that it was almost done, he took Jin Muchen to leave the room.

"Uncle Fang, I really didn't expect you to do this?"

Today's Fang Boke has brought Jin Muchen too much shock. Not only did he dare to confront the two thugs with a gun, but his method of dealing with gunshot wounds was also very sophisticated. The image of the fighting old man is very different.

And Fang Bo was no longer sleepy at this time, he came to the living room and opened two bottles of beer.

"I was also forced out by life. I experienced it in China in the early years. In such crazy times, you also know that there were often martial arts at that time. I am not a virtuous person like this, and I have to learn to be tough. , in order to ensure that he will not be bullied by others. Later, I came to the United States, thinking that I can finally live a good life, but after I got here, I found that it was not the case at all. Flushing at that time was completely different from now. When I came here, there were only a few families of Chinese immigrants, and most of them came to Treasure Island. It was very chaotic at that time, black gangs, and Italians who were unwilling to withdraw from the stage were fighting in this area every day. Theft and robbery are trivial things, and gang shootouts happen almost every day. When I opened a shop here, in addition to someone coming to the door to collect protection fees. Every once in a while, I have to face someone coming to rob my door, so I don’t be tough, and There is no way to survive here. These methods were learned because of those experiences. I thought the world was better now. I can’t use it anymore, but I didn’t expect it to be used in a few days.”

Fang Bo took a sip of beer and let out a long sigh, as if he remembered the old days again.

And Jin Muchen was also attracted by Fang Bo's words, and couldn't help but naturally flashed in his mind the pictures of Chinese people struggling to take root and survive here.

"By the way. What's the origin of your two friends, and what kind of trouble did they get into?"

Fang Bo's question pulled Jin Muchen back from his reverie.

"Well, it's a friend of a friend. I don't know much about what trouble they caused."

"Don't ask. There are some things, the less you know, the better, and it's for your own good. Don't worry, I've contacted my friends, and they will come and pick us up tomorrow morning. Don't worry, those people will not in the future. I'll trouble you again."

At this time, Capote walked out of the guest room and came to the refrigerator. Naturally, he took out a bottle of beer, opened it and took a sip.

Fang Bo didn't care at that time, he had experienced more than ten years of turmoil in the country. He has also opened a store in the United States for 20 years, and he has never seen any strange people and things.

This person is a friend of Jin Muchen, and he also said that the less they know about some things, the better. This is also for their own good, so that's good. Anyway, he didn't want to know too much detail.

Jin Muchen also shrugged, although he didn't have much contact with Capote. But go also to know the character of this guy, whether he is a bad person. Jin Muchen didn't know, but he certainly wouldn't frame his family and friends, and he and he should be considered friends.

Fang Bo quickly finished drinking and went back to his room to sleep. Jin Muchen didn't want to stay here any longer. Before going upstairs, Capote suddenly said something.

"Thank you for today's matter, we owe you a life."

Jin Muchen didn't look back, just waved his hand: "Forget it, you are Candice's cousin, I should do all this."

"By the way, don't talk to Candace about this? I don't want her to worry."

"I see!"

Jin Muchen went upstairs without looking back.

When I woke up the next morning, it was already past ten o'clock. Recently, Jin Muchen has become a little used to this kind of living state, slow-paced and leisurely. Isn't that how rich people live anyway?

When he went downstairs, Fang Bo, as usual, had already prepared breakfast. Jin Muchen glanced at the guest room where Capote and his companions were hiding.

"Don't look at it, they left long ago. At four o'clock in the morning, before dawn, their friends picked them up."

Fang Bo said to him through the newspaper.

"Okay, I get it now."

"Don't say it, your friend is quite authentic. Before leaving, you tidied up the room quite clean."

Uncle Fang's words made Jin Muchen burst into laughter, and then the two looked at each other and laughed.

Recently, Jin Muchen didn't go to the antique markets in New York. Now that the weather is too cold, he is not interested in visiting those roadside stalls in the cold weather.

His main task now is to quickly find a suitable house in Manhattan.

The house sale advertisements he saw on the Internet two days ago hit him hard, but he quickly adjusted his mentality. Although the online advertisements looked expensive and scary, some things can only be confirmed by seeing them with his own eyes.

After the holiday, he contacted several real estate agents specializing in Manhattan area. Recently, as long as he is free during the day, he will make an appointment to see the real estate.

The houses in the Shang@cheng@ district and the Zhong@cheng@ district are not considered now. First, the house price is too expensive, and secondly, it is also because those two areas are not suitable for opening antique shops.

After some fieldwork, Jin Muchen decided to focus on the Xia@cheng@ district, especially the area of ​​Soho. The main reason for choosing this place is because of the strong artistic atmosphere here.

The New Zealanders in the early years have brought a very obvious change in style here. The original set of industrial plants has now become the most representative of modern art. There are batches of antique shops and galleries. open here.

Jin Muchen also likes the atmosphere here very much, so he mainly focuses on the target area for his room selection.

Of course, the house prices here are definitely not cheap. An apartment of about 100 square meters will cost more than 2 million. With Jin Muchen's net worth, he can definitely afford such a house.

But those apartments are not what he wants. What he wants is a house like the one Fang Bo lives in now, with shops below and people living above.

And the area must be large enough. In the future, the first floor will be used as a shop, and the second floor will be used as a living room, and Fangbo and his parents will come to live, so the space of this house must be large enough.

Therefore, Jin Muchen is not particularly satisfied with this suite today.

This house has four floors and 600 square meters. It is located in the middle of Canal Street. There are similar old-fashioned red brick buildings on both sides. However, the one on the left has been transformed into many small apartments by the owner. , is a musical instrument store.

These two neighbors have a complicated flow of people and are prone to security problems, while the other is a musical instrument store, which can be very noisy during the day.

Although the price comparison in terms of area and size is in line with his conditions, but because it is located in the middle of the receiving area, the street is a century-old street, very narrow, and there are buildings of the same height on the opposite side, so the lighting is not particularly good, especially the first floor and the second floor. Lou, there is basically no sunlight all year round, which makes him feel very bad.

The decoration is relatively old. The previous first floor was rented by the owner to a cook who also buys pizza. If he wins this place, he will have to renovate the whole house, which makes Jin Muchen feel very troublesome.

The most important thing is that the asking price of this house is not very cheap. When I came here, Diana told him that the main price of the house was 12 million, which is the best price!

To be honest, with an area of ​​600 square meters and the fact that it is located in the Soho area, such an asking price is not too expensive, but considering the need for refurbishment in the later stage, as well as the factors of the neighbors, Jin Muchen felt that it was not suitable.

"Why, Mr. Jin, are you still not satisfied with this house?"

Today, the person in charge of showing Jin Muchen's house is Diana, a female agent of Hubble Real Estate Company. The female agent is in her twenties and thirties. She has blond hair, fair complexion, and looks very beautiful, a typical American classic. Image of female white-collar workers.

"Um..."

Jin Muchen told Diana a few points that she was not satisfied with, and Diana also frowned.

The housing stock in Manhattan is already tight, but Mr. Jin's requirements are not low, and it is really hard to find a house that meets his conditions.

"Otherwise, you are going back and waiting, maybe in two days, new houses will be released."

"Well, then I'll go back and wait for your news!"

Jin Muchen sighed, and then walked out of the house accompanied by Diana. Just a few steps away, he heard someone shouting from a distance.

"Hey! Mu Chen, is that you?"

He turned his head and saw that he couldn't help but think that it was the little witch Helen. It was because of him that Candace misunderstood him last time.

Now he is keeping a distance from this girl, this little girl is too cunning, so he doesn't respond at all, he turns his head and walks away, but Helen is not angry, and she chases after a few steps.

"Hey! I said you, don't you be so stingy? You're not a gentleman at all. How can I help you last time?"

Diana couldn't figure out what was going on, but she knew Helen in front of her. As a socialite in New York's upper class, she often appeared in various gossip news.

Looking at the young man in front of her, the two clearly knew each other, and they had an extraordinary relationship. Immediately, she became curious about this young man.

Because of the dissatisfaction that Jin Muchen couldn't get a deal because he took Jin Muchen to see the house several times before, all of them have flown out of the sky at this time. (To be continued)
