No. 29.

Li Qin set out early in the morning.

With Lin Yating and Mr. Qin, we took a helicopter to the city, and then met Tang Fei in the office building and headed to the airport.

This trip was not taken by a private plane.

The plane was sent by Li Qin to serve his grandmother, and they planned to go to Alaska on the last stop of their trip.

Li Qin’s purpose is to delay if possible and try not to come back so early.

Even before the eldest father and mother come back, Mouse Mountain still cannot be repaired and rebuilt, but at least don’t let them see the messy and bad scenes. The longer the attack, the less impact it can be.

And Li Qin and Tang Fei... Anyway, it's just a trip to the United States, so buying two first-class cabins is enough.

About half past ten.

The two landed in Los Angeles.

Tang Fei looked around excitedly, completely different from his wife's fear of going to the rice alone, and there was nothing scary about being with Li Qin.

"Where are we going now?"

Li Qin said: "Let's go to Long Beach first, rent a car at the rental point, and wait until the transportation company is done, I'll take you to the city for a walk, but Los Angeles is not a big city, but a big countryside, which may be different from what you think."

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the whole country, but it is completely different from the fast pace of financial cities such as New York, San Francisco, and Chicago, and the living atmosphere is stronger.

The sunshine in California and the cultural and tourism atmosphere of Hollywood seem to be more pleasant than other places.

Of course, this is for outsiders.

When traveling, people on business trips see only appearances.

Just like what tourists traveling to Wudu in China see in Rongcheng, watching the locals drink tea, clean their ears, play mahjong, and have a hot pot meal until two or three in the morning.

But that's just part of it.

The real cbd still has a group of community animals who are busy and exhausted, trying their best to make their lives.

Similarly, in Los Angeles, only they know how locals are doing.

Foreigners have no say. They just go from where they live to where others live.

And you should know that La ranks among the top in the list of all-medium homeless people.

Wait until the car rental is finished.

Sitting in the car and looking at the city area, Tang Fei understood Li Qin's concept of "big countryside". The high-rise buildings in the core urban area are probably not as high-rise as those in Jiangcheng, my hometown. Of course, the quality of high-rise buildings is much higher, and then there is a large plain composed of villa buildings.

The city is very large, but it is completely different from the metropolis in a broad sense.

If you really want to talk about slow pace, of course Eugene is still.

Instead of going to the city, they went directly to the highway and headed to Long Beach, forty kilometers away.

"As a while before the equipment is installed, you still have free time to take a driver's license. Now you have an interpreter test. The answer part is Chinese, but the speed of learning English must be accelerated. Since you want to live in the United States, language is always an important level."

"I know." Tang Fei said seriously, "Every afternoon, we study for three hours, and we don't sleep until we finish learning. Your sister-in-law is more intelligent than me. She went to the store to buy things yesterday and could communicate easily, but I will work hard."

"What else do you need in life? Tell me at any time. Sometimes I am too busy... Hahaha, it's actually what Mr. Qin often says to be lazy, but if you need it, you can contact me at any time. In private, you are still my brother Fei."

Tang Fei laughed and said, "Okay."

Tang Fei did a good job in dealing with relationships. He called Mr. Li in public and was relatively relaxed in private.

After all, it was the "top street skater" of those days. The way they talked about people and talked about ghosts was deeply rooted in the bones. This is not a derogatory term. It is a good thing to know how to adapt.

Forty kilometers away...

Los Angeles teaches them how to behave in the name of a ‘big city’. Li Qin experienced highway traffic jams for the first time in the United States. Fortunately, the temperature is not high and there is no burning feeling.

Long Beach is an industrial city that relies on oil fields and the top ten ports in the world to provide a large amount of employment for the entire Los Angeles area.

Follow the navigation and came to the port, and after asking someone, I found the pickup area.

Compared to the cumbersome procedures as imagined, there are actually many freight companies billboards and intermediaries who travel around to attract business in the pickup area.

"This is quite similar to our Jiangcheng labor market. Americans are also soliciting customers on the streets?" Tang Fei was surprised to see the messy scene.

Li Qin laughed: "All people have to make a living. If you don't take the initiative, you have to drink the northwest wind. Employment and industry competition are terrifying. You can live at least for three thousand yuan in China. When you go to the United States, you can earn 8 yuan an hour, but the organic vegetables in supermarkets are sold at 12 yuan a pound. Can you imagine the pressure of survival?"

"Don't think about the United States so well, nor do you think about the country so badly. To be honest... If I hadn't studied abroad, I would probably like the country more."

Li Qin is really coming through step by step...

Perhaps after obtaining the system, he instantly reached the peak of his life, but in the past four years of college, only he understood how many hardships he had suffered after working part-time study.

Tang Fei was arranged by Li Qin all the way, except for the fact that he was scared on the road for two days because he was speechless when he came here, but what about after he arrived at Eugene?

The work was straightforward when arranging a big house, which lacked the bitterness and sorrow that the real Liumi people had to go through.

This is also the original intention of Li Qin to take him over to "grow his knowledge" during this trip.

Tang Fei listened and watched, thinking.

Li Qin didn't say much, let him experience it slowly.

Queue at the service window to wait for the procedures, and finally submit the pickup sequence code. The port staff directly gave an introduction to the recommended freight company.

Compared with those intermediaries, port recommendation companies are safer.

Li Qin didn't want to be robbed of millions of equipment halfway through. Once this happens, it will be difficult to recover it.

Find a company on the order and call.

Soon, a young man in work clothes came over, confirmed Li Qin's waybill, and quickly gave a quote without any unnecessary nonsense.

There is an average daily freight price at the port to avoid vicious competition in the industry.

The other party's quotation is obviously 20% higher than the average price.

Li Qin made a decision without saying a word.

Following it, go to the pickup area to check the equipment, sign the order and pay a deposit of 70% and pay 30% of the final payment upon arrival.

This busyness seems simple, but in fact it is already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Even if the temperature is not high, the salty and wet sea breeze makes the whole body feel greasy and uncomfortable.

"Stay tonight, go to the hotel to open a room to take a shower, go shopping at night, and go home at noon tomorrow."

Tang Fei said: "Are two big men shopping?"

"Why should I find two beauties to accompany you?" Li Qin joked and winked.

Tang Fei waved his hand quickly: "Forget it, your sister-in-law knows to kill me!"

"Then you can only go shopping with me."

They drove to Los Angeles again and checked in at a premium hotel. The two of them washed up and changed into clean clothes before leaving.

I had lunch with sandwiches at the port. Now I am not very hungry, so I went straight to Chinatown.

I don’t want to eat Chinese food in Chinatown. The taste has been improved and it is more in line with the taste of the American people. The real Chinese food is in a high-end community and specializes in serving regular customers.

Therefore, more than half of the tourists are foreigners, not Asians.

Men are very purposeful in "shopping", go straight to the grocery store and buy some seasonings and specialties.

When they came out of the crowded Chinatown, the dryness before going out turned into clouds and smoke, their hair was muddy on their foreheads, and their whole face was covered in oil.

"Let's have a meal, then go to the mall to buy some clothes, and I will pay for the purchase of the day."

I chose a high-end restaurant with a good reputation on the local review website. I drove to it with two people. The restaurant was in the core business district.

It's time to buy after dinner.

The dimly snug restaurant, with couples around for a long time, and the combination of two big men is very strange.

Even the waiter's eyes contain profound meaning.

But this is normal. The free and open United States, men, women, nuggets, and erotic... are all acceptable.

Tang Fei didn't care about that look because he didn't understand.

Li Qin was helpless. It was unnecessary to explain, but it was annoying to not explain.

So I had supper and prepared to rush to the next stop.

But just the moment I left the restaurant.

"Li Qin!" A Chinese shout shocked the two.

Almost at the same time, they looked back together to search for the origin of the sound.

Soon, two figures of the same group appeared in their sight, both Chinese, but their combination was very reasonable, one man and one woman.

"Meet?" Tang Fei asked.

Li Qin was stunned for a moment and nodded: "High school classmate, our fellow villager... your junior! He is the rich second generation who I told you and my sister-in-law before, who was bullied in school."

"So coincidental? This can be encountered!"

Li Qin also found it strange.
