Chapter 521 - The Fifth Avenue

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Inside the Peninsula Restaurant.

Chen Liang and the four of them were having breakfast.

A top-class hotel was different.

It was undoubtedly a luxury to be able to eat soy milk and doughnuts in a foreign country.

"I took a long time to sleep."

Jiang Xin smiled bitterly.

"Why?"

Chen Liang eyed with curiosity.

"First time in Manhattan, a little excited."

Jiang Xin answered honestly.

The feeling of being there is far more profound and intuitive than through photos and videos.

When standing in the hotel and looking at the Manhattan skyline, I believe that not only she, but also everyone who first arrived here will have uncontrollable waves in their hearts.

This city has concentrated the word wealth in every inch of the land and even in the air. The past, present and future of the various colors of the lofty buildings is a full sense of the smallness of self.

When a variety of old buildings carrying a heavy history, and contemporary architects of the most up-to-date, high-tech new buildings standing in front of you alive, this feeling of traveling through time and space, also unparalleled.

Chen Liang guffawed, fully able to understand Jiang Xin's mood.

"How about going for a stroll down Fifth Avenue later?"

Fifth Avenue, one of the world's famous shopping streets, brings together all kinds of luxury brands, and can be said to be a shopping paradise that women dream of.

"You're the boss, you're in charge."

Jiang Xin glanced at him, her eyes flowing, with a vague taste of seduction.

It was so pleasant to reach an agreement.

After breakfast, the four of them set off from the hotel, not in a car, on foot.

"New York's Fifth Avenue in the early morning, pedestrians are sparse. Holly Golightly stood outside the Tiffany store, staring at the attractive jewels in the window, thinking to herself when she would be able to hang them around her neck as well?"

Jiang Xin froze, eyes amazed, and turned her head incredulously.

"You still remember?"

Tang Xiaolong and Shan Xin lagged a step behind, not saying a word, their eyes and ears looking in all directions.

"Of course."

Chen Liang laughed, "That teacher of yours even pointed me up and asked me which class I was from, when your whole class was laughing at me, something so engraved in my mind, how could I not remember."

Jiang Xin snorted a laugh.

Chen Liang glanced at her, "At that time, it was not you who asked me to accompany you to class, and as a result, you actually did not even care about me after being caught by your teacher."

Jiang Xin pretended to be calm, "What can I do? I'll help you explain that I'm also going to be criticized, and it's better for one person to be lectured than two."

Chen Liang nodded his head and sighed, "That's a good point."

Jiang Xin blushed and smiled.

What Chen Liang just said was a scene from the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

At that time, it was still the teacher who showed it to them in class.

This movie not only makes people remember Audrey Hepburn as the lead actress forever, but also remember Tiffany and New York Fifth Avenue at the same time.

East China Sea inch of gold, but compared to the Fifth Avenue, or a small witch, the world's most expensive commercial street should be here.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the four of them arrived at the world-famous shopping street.

A variety of gorgeous luxury brands are dazzling.

"Many domestic shopping malls want to recruit these big brands to move in have to pay backwards, and it depends on whether people are willing or not, but what makes this street have such a great influence that the world's top luxury stores are scrambling to occupy a facade here with the world's most expensive rent?"

Chen Liang asked casually.

Jiang Xin did not think twice and quickly responded, "At the beginning of the 19th century, the area where we are located was just a large area of farmland. 1883, the then railroad king, Vanderbilt, built an extremely luxurious private house on a country road here. The news spread among the wealthy Americans.

'Living near the Beards? That sounds like a great idea!' So, more and more wealthy people converged here and built mansions, and owning a home on this country road gradually became a symbol of wealthy people's status.

By this time, Fifth Avenue became a residential area for the wealthy, and there were no businesses. It wasn't until the 1880s that a dogfight in New York social circles kicked off the changes on Fifth Avenue. At that time, there was a fierce conflict between the New York upper class and the emerging aristocracy - the equivalent of what we now call the mob.

The most powerful socialite in New York at that time was "Madame Astor", who was said to have a list of 400 people, detailing the ladies of prestigious families in American society, none of whom were members of the rising aristocracy. Every time she held a ball, she drew participants from this list, without exception.

However, on one occasion she was forced to extend an olive branch to the new aristocracy and invite them to a social ball organized by herself. This action caused her nephew, who was also a traditional aristocrat, to take great offense, and in 1893 he launched an act of revenge - building a luxurious Waldorf hotel next to his aunt's house, which - in its location and layout - was entirely to hide the aunt's home in the shadow of the building."

"So childish that you can't imagine it, right?"

Jiang Xin laughed, "The world of the aristocracy is so arbitrary."

"Living next to a noisy hotel was just unacceptable for Mrs. Astor. In desperation, Mrs. Astor demolished her family's residence as well and built the Astoria Hotel, which is equally high. The two hotels eventually merged to become the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, yes, the origin of the now famous Waldorf chain of hotels that came into being, thus ending the residential neighborhood that Fifth Avenue had always been positioned as."

"A dog-and-pony show full of the times thus opened a new chapter in Fifth Avenue."

"In 1896, Benjamin Altman built the first store on Fifth Avenue. in 1906, also by Benjamin Altman, the first department store was established here, and influenced the gradual formation of an upscale shopping district here."

Jiang Xin told the historical changes of Fifth Avenue, and even Tang Xiaolong and Shan Xin at the back were unconsciously attracted and listened intently.

"Miss Jiang is really knowledgeable."

When Jiang Xin finished, Tang Xiaolong sighed and opened his mouth, not all compliments, but also half of it is a feeling.

Such a woman is undoubtedly much better than those vases that only know how to buy and buy.

"Before the teacher specifically told us about just."

Jiang Xin said worthlessly.

"Is there something you want?"

Chen Liang asked.

He was not at all surprised by Jiang Xin's performance, after all, what attracted him to Jiang Xin in the first place was not just beauty.

"No need, the domestic also all buy, there is no need to contribute to the GDP of the U.S. Empire."

Jiang Xin joked.

Chen Liang dumbly laughed and looked around at the gorgeous windows.

"Since we're all here, we can't return empty-handed, go in and take a look."
