What changed most Americans who wanted to live a simple life can only be the power of capital.↑The power of capital not only changed the United States, but also changed the whole world.

I ate Nevada beef noodles for breakfast (wheat flour and beef are both produced in Nevada, so it is also Nevada beef noodles no matter how you look at it). Zhang Cheng drove the Emma Emily sisters who did not have a driver's license to apply for a credit card. He used to be unable to use it at home (as a Chinese family habitually has a lot of cash at home, and Zhang Cheng also swipes it when he needs to swipe the card). This credit card is to send money to Andre, their father who was serving their prison sentence in prison, via online banking.

There are also shops in the prison that can be purchased, although the prices are expensive and the goods are not that complete. However, this is a prison, and it is already good to buy things in a place.

As for Zhang Cheng himself, the two most annoying people are racists and niggers - and Emma Emily's father Andre happens to be the former. Zhang Chengzhen doesn't want to have any connection with such a person, even if it's financial, of course, the other party's young and beautiful daughter is automatically ignored.

As for discrimination against black people, okay, Zhang Cheng does discriminate against black people. But what are the actions of black people that are respectable? In the United States, black people are synonymous with crime, poverty, lack of responsibility, lots of joy, death, and anti-socialism.

Zhang Cheng likes a very good saying that if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Now the social status of black people is made by themselves, so they naturally have to be fully responsible for it.

Of course, Zhang Cheng was not stupid enough to go to the street to point at a black man and call him a nigger. The general strategy against the nigger Zhang Cheng is: I can't see you, I can't see you, I can't see you, I can't see you. Zhang Cheng certainly doesn't mind exercising his muscles when he comes up to provoke him.

After applying for a credit card, what surprised Zhang Cheng was the amount of money the two sisters remitted to their father. Emma prepared $5 to her father in prison. As her sister, Emily prepared a huge sum of $8...

Zhang Cheng's home is not short of cash. A cabinet in the living room is filled with millions of dollars in public pocket money - these are what Zhang Cheng stays at home to pay for takeout tips or hourly tips for housekeeping. Before going out, everyone has developed the habit of getting a few US dollars from it to protect themselves. When Emily and Emma opened a credit card account, Zhang Cheng also habitually deposited $10,000 to each of them.

In fact, compared to the various cultural relics and antiques in Zhang Cheng's home decoration and daily use, this amount of money is really nothing, it's just pocket money - it's more than hundreds of thousands of dollars to throw a plate from the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln. Although the food at home is produced by his own farm, ranch and winery, it's enough to just take a account, but even if you leave the account, the family will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.

But in Zhang Cheng's opinion, such a life is already very simple. If it were the old society, at least dozens of servants would have to be hired at home - the most expensive labor in the United States, and the professional butler with certificates is even more highly paid.

Speaking of housekeepers, Zhang Cheng had thought that he would hire a British housekeeper who had a pure London accent, wearing a short beard, wearing a black suit, flat glasses, and silver pocket watch. He also had to stand at the door with a red-headed Ah San as a doorman. But when he remembered the British, Zhang Cheng always had a faint pain in his heart or had a complicated relationship.

Since the British opened up the Chinese market with strong ships and powerful guns, they have also brought ancient China into modern and modern times and colonies. It can be said that without the rudeness of the British back then, China's modernization process may have to be delayed. Even if the eight-legged essay has been studied for another five hundred years, it is much further away from going in the opposite direction. After all, the earth is basically round, and traveling around the world is feasible.

This kind of psychology is a bit like the Japanese thanks American Perry. However, the pain of more than a hundred years in the middle is not clear by unequal treaties.

To put it far, according to the consumption level of a beef burger in the United States of America of three or four dollars, a few dollars is also a small amount of money - as for a burger of one or two dollars, it is neither made of wheat flour nor beef. It is not impossible to say that this is a burger, but Zhang Cheng doesn't eat it anyway. But according to the Chinese point of view, since you have sent the money, you have to send an integer of 50,100.

So Zhang Cheng asked: "Is this little money enough to spend in prison?"

Emma: "I asked, the prison where my father lives is 25 cents a banana, and the apples are 1.5 dollars a banana and 4 apples."

Emily: "I've calculated it too. The $8 I prepared for my father can buy two packs of cigarettes and a few stamps."

Zhang Cheng thought, that's right, this American prison is responsible for food and accommodation, and the place where you can spend money is to buy some snacks and cigarettes.

Wine is absolutely not sold in American prisons. If you really want to drink alcohol in prison and you happen to be rich and powerful (such as the Mafia), you can consider bribing the American prison guards to bring you alcohol or even women and poisons.

As the most commercially developed country, the United States will naturally have prison guards who take risks and violate the law for money. This is not a big deal in the United States. There are bad police officers in the United States. For a long time in the 20th century, everyone knew that the police chief in New York would cost 50,000 US dollars to buy this position.

Zhang Cheng didn't think who would spend 50,000 US dollars to punish evil and promote good and promote righteousness, but it was more likely to make a fortune to make a black protective umbrella - and in fact they did do this, which also led to the 20th century American cities rampant in gangs and flooding private wine, which was like a raid of demons.

This situation was not improved until the United States established an anti-black joint law at the end of the 20th century. According to the federal anti-black joint law, as long as it is a gang member (those who have participated in gangster criminal activities are also considered gang members), they will be arrested and sentenced to more than 25 years in prison regardless of the severity of the crime.

There is a reason why the conviction is so serious. After arresting a gang member, the lawyer will tell him that you have committed a big deal and have committed at least 25 years in prison under federal law. If you are 25 years old this year, you will be 50 years old.

What, I don’t want to become an old man and come out again. Very good. We do judicial transactions. You can give a gang member to reduce it for a few years. If you give ten or eight, you can be a dirty witness. Not only do you don’t have to go to jail and change your name and live in another place and become a human being. Be loyal and not asking for help, you can wait for the jail to sit in the prison.

How many 25 years does a person have in his life? It turns out that few American gangsters are loyal, and they often catch one by one and then pull out one by one. For a time, American prison gangsters are overcrowded.

Zhang Cheng remembers that Mr. Chen said that before the United States' anti-black joint-selective law was introduced, those gangs were afraid that people would not know that they were gangs - often said that I was from XX. After the anti-black joint-selective law was introduced, no one dared to claim that they were gang members in public - now American gangs are either whitewashed or engaged in underground activities can no longer be arrogant.

Since he came out once, Zhang Cheng always had to do a few more things. Another reason for coming out this time was to participate in the private card game of the governor.

There were not many participants this time because the location was in Reno. Except for the governor who came from Carson City, the other three were Reno natives. In addition to Zhang Cheng, there were Reno's mayor Bobby and White, the owner of a casino in Reno. These two people were white middle-aged and elderly men in Zhang Cheng's view.

Because there are only four people, everyone chose the international standard mahjong as the way to play this game - everyone just happened to play mahjong. As for the two girls brought by Zhang Cheng, they were ignored by everyone. Such a girl drove a sports car on Reno Street and could get back a reinforced group after driving a sports car on Reno Street - the premise is that your sports car can be installed.

And gender equality is always just a slogan in the United States. For Reno, the average salary of men is one-fifth higher than that of women (women can not work in all industries, but equal pay for equal work can still be achieved in the United States). This is still the average number, just like for black people, if there is an economic gap, then there is no equality - it is useless to make any laws.

Card games are never for playing cards. At the card table, the governor said: "Reno has developed very well in recent years. The number of tourists has hit a record high every year."

Lino Mayor Poppy laughed and played a card while saying: "This is called based on local characteristics and developing advantageous industries."

Zhang Cheng looked at Porter in surprise and thought to himself that this guy had studied in the Celestial Empire or studied at the Beibang Propaganda Academy - the official eight-part essay was just open.

In fact, since the late 1960s, Reno made considerable economic sacrifices in order to develop Las Vegas. You can see from the flight that the number of domestic flights to Las Vegas and Reno was several levels different. Of course, this was not voluntary by Reno.

The earliest casino in the United States, Reno, was either closed or struggled to support it. Or it simply opened a branch in Las Vegas. In recent years, Reno relied on various events to promote the development of the tourism industry, such as concerts, golf competitions, bowling competitions, ski competitions, racing and auto show.

Reno can still do this when the number of flights is sharply small, because the United States is a car kingdom, and many people have the habit of driving and traveling. A few days to drive to a certain place is a traditional American culture for Americans. (In fact, in Zhang Cheng's opinion, it is nothing more than that in Las Vegas, the city of Las Vegas cannot legally stand on the street. Reno can - small cities are better than small cities.)

Mayor Reno continued: "We are planning to hold an international mahjong Grand Prix in the near future. Using international standards, we can throw away the group of American Mahjong Association's guys who make money by selling rules."

As a Reno native, Zhang Cheng asked: "Who will pay the prize for this Grand Prix?"

In fact, Zhang Cheng is sure that the money was not paid by the local finance, otherwise he would not be the mayor. This is the case abroad. Everyone likes some events and large-scale events, but don’t let them know that the expenses of these events are paid by their taxes, otherwise something will definitely happen.

Mayor Porter glanced at the hotel owner White and said, "Let Mr. White say that Mr. White is one of the initiators of this event."

White looked at his card and said, "The cost of this national standard mahjong Grand Prix will be won by donated bids from various hotels. The first place who donated will get the final venue, the second place will get the semi-final venue of eight to four, and the third place will get the sixteen to eight. These three games will be broadcast live throughout the whole process. All hotels participating in the donation bids will get the preliminary and preliminary knockout venues."

I chatted with White for a while in the card game and found out that Reno's hotel industry is very strong. According to the population, Reno is only a medium-sized county in China, but there are many hotels and tourist cities, but there are more than 60 hotels in a small city, including more than 20 hotels above three-star.

Accommodation is very cheap, star hotels only cost a few dozen dollars a night - this is a pure hotel. For example, the comprehensive hotel run by White - is a casino. The gamblers who book to come here to gamble (the one with at least four digits of account funds) are free of charge. Even if some comprehensive hotels are not free of charge, there are also various hospitality coupons to attract customers.

It can be said that almost all the customer acquisition plans that humans can think of have been used by them, and some hotels in Reno still have to lose money during the off-season.

At the end of the eight-round card game, Zhang Cheng felt that if it was a game, he should give a tip of +1 in friendship, but unfortunately he didn't. In the game, Zhang Cheng focused half of his body and mind on the Emily sisters. In the end, he naturally lost several hundred yuan in liquidation points.

Half of the holidays that had been killed in time passed. After the game, Zhang Cheng took the Emily sisters to play in Trucki River Park for a while.

I just played for a while. There were a lot of people in the city center park and there was no field place. As for the sisters Zhang Cheng and Emily who saw a couple kneeling at the man's feet in the woods, hesitating, it was definitely because the man was peeing in the woods and was bitten by a poisonous snake. His girlfriend was taking drugs to heal him. Well, that must be the case.

After leaving the park, the three of them went to the church. According to the Emily sisters, they had not gone to the church to pray for a long time. It is not difficult to see the decline of Christianity from this sentence - in the dark era of Europe, everyone went to the church every week.

Zhang Cheng turned around as if no one was around the church. Finally, his eyes fell on a Chinese vagabond who was about fifty or sixty years old in his twilight hair dressed in old clothes.

The Chinese vagabond also glanced at Zhang Cheng, took two cans and turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled by Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng shouted: "Uncle Daqing!"

The Chinese vagabond was shocked when he heard this, and turned around and looked at Zhang Cheng for a while before asking, "Who are you? How can you recognize me? Now my name is James."

James saw that everyone nearby was looking at them and said to Zhang Cheng: "This is not a place to talk, go out and talk."

After leaving the church, two people looked for benches to sit down. Zhang Cheng said, "I am Chengzi. My father Zhang **, grandpa Zhang **. From the winery, do you remember when you were a child? We are from a village in our hometown... When I was a child, I went to your house every year."

While Zhang Cheng was talking, Zhang Daqing or James ate a few bites of canned food and suddenly said, "I remember, Lao Zhang's grandson of the winery, Xiao Zhang's son, I saw you when you were young. In the past, your family always brought white wine during the Chinese New Year and the holidays. In fact, I have said many times that I don't drink..."

Zhang Cheng also began to recall the past when Uncle Daqing was the best among the people from the village. He graduated from the medical school and later became an associate professor at the medical school.

Everyone understands the situation in the Celestial Empire. It is very important to know acquaintances in the hospital. Uncle Daqing is an acquaintance that Zhang Cheng and his hometown village collectively met in the city hospital. Whenever Uncle Daqing returns to his hometown, there are a row of patients from the village who line up to come to the door for treatment.

Even if I go to the hospital when I encounter an emergency, I will look for Uncle Daqing first. Uncle Daqing has a very good temper and medical skills. He always refuses people who come to the door for treatment. If the medicine can be used for cheap penicillin, there is no need to pioneer. If the domestic medicine can cure diseases of a few cents, there is no need to use imported medicine for dozens of yuan.

Even if the villagers in the same village are staying in the city hospital, Uncle Daqing also opens the door to convenience within his ability - the hospital staff set up a bed + expert consultation should not be considered a backdoor. In short, Uncle Daqing is a capable person and has a good reputation.

About ten years ago, Uncle Daqing was invited to a university in Los Angeles, USA to be a publicly-sponsored visiting scholar, and then there was nothing else.

Uncle Daqing never came back when he went to the United States and had no news. At that time, he was just about to go abroad and had a little courage. He went to Russia to do a counter-attack and sell down jackets. Those who were farther away went to South Korea, Japan, the United States and other developed countries to wash dishes to make money. In that era, developed countries did get more salary than domestic associate professors.

After a half-year visit to Uncle Daqing had not returned for more than a year, everyone guessed that Uncle Daqing had gone to the United States to make a fortune. At that time, people in magazines praised the rounder moon in the United States.

Later, there were all kinds of rumors. Some said that Uncle Daqing made a fortune in the United States and married foreign girls and did not come back. Some said that Uncle Daqing got married and had a son with a rich American woman, so he didn't want his wife and twin daughters in his hometown. Some said that Uncle Daqing didn't make money in the United States and had no shame to come back.

However, since Uncle Daqing's wife worked hard to support her two daughters to go to school, the third possibility is greater.

Now Zhang Cheng has confirmed this with his own eyes. Since he came to the church to receive relief food, it means that Uncle Daqing is indeed not doing well.

Zhang Cheng asked: "Uncle Daqing, why haven't you called your home over the years?"

Uncle Daqing looked at the can and said, "I'm shameless. Your Uncle Daqing is so embarrassed, so how can you have the attitude to call your home? You won't let them think I'm dead."

Zhang Cheng: "Uncle Daqing, how did you get through these years?"

Uncle Daqing: "How else can I come? Back then, I was unwilling to go back and earn the salary of a few hundred yuan. I wanted to make a lot of money in the United States, driving a car and living in a villa. But I couldn't get a green card. If I don't have a green card, I couldn't find a job in the hospital or school.

At that time, you couldn't get a green card. Uncle Daqing was about to end your life, so he took the last few dozen dollars from Los Angeles to the casino here. Then he started to win money at 21 o'clock, and won several thousand dollars in two days and one night.

When you have money, the casino will treat you as a master for free, so you are afraid that you will run away.”

Zhang Cheng: "What happened later?"

Uncle Daqing: "Later, I lost later. The casino is thick. If I lose all of it, the casino will throw you out."

Zhang Cheng: "How did you come here over the years?"

Uncle Daqing: "How else can I come here? Do odd jobs, go to the casino to make money and continue to do odd jobs if I lose. One day, I will win back."

The casino likes you gamblers who regularly send money like this. OK, Zhang Cheng complained in his heart, remembering that three generations of his family were taken care of by Uncle Daqing. It was unreasonable to see him falling like mud until he died like all the homeless people. If you have the ability, you still have to help.

However, the current situation is to send Uncle Daqing money to send him back to China. I guess Uncle Daqing's deep gambling addiction is enough to make Uncle Daqing lose his entire family again. There are still domestic lottery tickets, and there are many people who have lost all their money, let alone gambling in Lisboa.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng stood up and took out a few steps to take out the phone, dialed a number that had just been entered for a while and said, "Hey, Mr. White, it's me. I want to ask you, a professional. Well, I want to ask, the comprehensive hotel in Reno now, right, it's a casino. Are there any hotels with three-star or above transferred? OK, thank you very much. I have time to play cards together."

After making this call, Zhang Cheng called his lawyer Zhuang Ni again. Finally, Zhang Cheng checked the available funds balance of the bank account again - although the numbers above are usually very reassuring, they are about to shrink today.

Zhang Cheng’s idea was to buy a comprehensive hotel in Reno and let Uncle Daqing be the general manager of the hotel. If he likes gambling so much, wouldn’t it be better to play in his own casino.
