Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 823 Chen Changan's Treat

"Forgive me for my unruly and free-spirited life.

I am also afraid that one day I will fall down."

As the song reached its climax, two more people came over carrying boxes.

Many people don't feel much about the Mandarin version of "Hometown Clouds", but they are deeply touched by the Cantonese version.

Since you are so excited about the music, you can’t miss the chance to give a tip. Many people are generous, with many giving dozens of dollars.

As the song ended, the number of people giving tips reached a climax.

"do it again."

"I'll give you five hundred dollars to sing it again."

Only then did Li Chenglin and the two second-generations realize how powerful Chen Changan was.

Just hold a guitar and sing a few songs on the street, and you can easily earn thousands of dollars.

After singing the song, Chen Changan directly returned the guitar to the young man who was still in a daze beside him.

"Thank you for the guitar."

The other party looked at Chen Changan and asked.

"The song 'Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies' is so beautiful. Can I sing this song in the future?"

"of course."

“Thank you, I will not let this song down.”

Seeing that Chen Changan was not going to sing anymore, the crowd was still reluctant to leave for a long time.

After reuniting with the two second-generations, Li Chenglin's eyes lit up.

He came to Chen Changan and said excitedly.

"Director, we've made a fortune. Do you know how much money we've made in just a short time?"

At this time, the three of them sorted out some scattered money together and looked at the handful of US dollars in Li Chenglin's hand.

Chen Changan also smiled and then said.

"Okay, don't worry about the money, just pack it up.

"Aren't you afraid of being robbed when you're walking around with so much money?"

Li Chenglin looked unconvinced.

"Who dares to rob me?"

"You are in Chinatown, not in China. I have told you many times. People here will pull out their guns if they disagree with you."

Li Chenglin nodded and quickly packed up the money.

At this time, seven or eight young men were rushing over here not far away.

Each of them has tattoos of dragons and phoenixes, and their hairstyles are all very Shamatte.

Chen Changan recognized him at a glance. This was probably a member of the society.

Those who set up stalls and perform all year round have to pay some protection fees.

You can't make much money from doing it for fun, so the people in the club don't bother to care about it.

As a result, Chen Changan's actions directly alarmed the people in the society.

Chen Changan took Li Chenglin's arm and spoke directly.

"Hurry up and leave. Someone is here to ask for protection money from us."

Although Li Chenglin and the two second-generations didn't know what was going on, they had already told him before leaving that they would listen to Chen Changan throughout the journey.

The two second-generations were a little unconvinced at first, but after seeing how much money Chen Changan made with just two songs, they finally understood.

This Chen Changan is a powerful figure no matter where he is. This place is different from the homeland, so naturally he has to obey orders.

Seeing the anxious look on Chen Changan's face, Li Chenglin couldn't help but ask.

"Director, what's the matter?"

Chen Changan was also afraid of being caught up by the gang members. As the only security force, Li Chenglin couldn't be completely ignorant of the situation, so he spoke.

“Most of these places abroad have local communities.

You can understand them as thugs who specialize in collecting protection fees from some businessmen.

We just made a lot of money, and the gang members must have known about it. They are planning to collect protection money from us.

This is the United States, so we'd better keep a low profile and not cause trouble.

Once we leave this area, they will stop chasing us."

Li Chenglin nodded and looked back at the people who were chasing him.

Several people had bulges around their waists, and Li Chenglin started to take it seriously.

Seeing that the people behind him were chasing him relentlessly, Chen Changan started turning left and right with the three of them. After passing several intersections, they had left the gang members behind.

Only after leaving Chinatown did Chen Changan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, this place is basically not their territory. They don't dare to chase us anymore."

The two second-generations were lawless in their country, but they ended up running to the United States and being chased like this.

The two men bent over, supported their knees with their hands, and cursed breathlessly.

"If I were in China, I would have made these guys suffer a fate worse than death."

"Okay, these are just small matters. It's already noon. I'll take you to have some Western food."

Li Chenglin immediately came up to Chen Changan and whispered.

"Director, we just made nearly six thousand dollars. With so much money, we should at least have a good meal, right?"

Li Chenglin's face was full of excitement, considering that his monthly salary was only over 100 yuan.

In China, one U.S. dollar can be exchanged for two yuan, so six thousand U.S. dollars can be exchanged for twelve thousand U.S. dollars.

It’s more than ten thousand yuan. Li Chenglin has been working for so many years, but his family doesn’t even have ten thousand yuan.

Of course, this exchange rate is the official exchange rate, and you can't change it even if you want to.

Looking at Li Chenglin and the two second-generations’ excited faces, Chen Changan rolled his eyes at them.

“Is this too much?”

"Isn't that a lot? Over 10,000 yuan, what can't you buy in the country?

This money can be used to buy braised pork every day for several years. You just sang two songs.

How about we go and sing two more songs tomorrow, and earn 10,000 yuan a day."

"This is just the first time. Next time, I'm afraid I'll be targeted by those gang members before I even start singing.

And I have to go to Corning for an inspection tomorrow, so business is more important.

And do you think the songs I sing are all Chinese cabbage?

It's only $6,000. My songs are classics among classics. I feel like I'm losing money on such a small amount of money."

Li Chenglin was confused. Six thousand dollars was not enough? He couldn't even take out six thousand RMB.

Looking at Li Chenglin's face full of disbelief, Chen Changan said.

"Forget it, you'll know when we go to dinner later."

Chen Changan took the three of them and went straight to the restaurant nearby, pushed the door and walked in.

The three of them didn't understand English and could only watch Chen Changan order food.

Li Chenglin asked this after Chen Changan returned to his seat.

"Director, what's the name of this store? I can show it off to my men when I get back.

For example, the hotel we stayed in was called Hilton. What was the place we dined at called? "

"KFC"

"What's the Chinese name? Even if I say KFC, those country bumpkins won't understand."

KFC

"Oh, I see. It's a restaurant that specializes in roast chicken.

Is it the same as our roast duck restaurant? Judging from the decoration, it should be on the same level as Quanjude?

Okay, the factory manager is really nice to me. He even invites Quanjude-level restaurants to dinner."

The two second-generations standing by also said with gratitude on their faces.

"Director Chen, thanks to you, we can have a good meal here.

When we get back, we two brothers will set up a table at Quanjude to treat you."

Chen Changan's expression was a little strange. He wondered if these people would scold him when they found out what KFC was.

However, he only made 6,000 US dollars, which he had to share with Li Chenglin and the other two. In addition, there were many other things to buy, and he couldn't afford the expensive ones.
