Chapter 182 (1/2)
Friday, April 8.
At 12 noon US Eastern time, after more than ten hours of boring flight, Xiao Qi set out alone and finally arrived in New York, the heart of the US empire.
People who have not been to the United States will feel that the United States is full of super cities, and every corner is a megalopolis such as the capital, Dongfang and Nanwan.
In fact, the real super city in the United States is almost only New York. Even their capital, Washington, D.C., is not a super large city. It is just a plot of land combined by a wide administrative region, which is far from the building and population density of New York or even the east of the capital.
The area of the United States is about the same as that of China, but its population is only one fifth of that of China, and most of them are plain and hilly areas, so there are many places for them to live, so there is no need for everyone to squeeze together in the city.
It is only New York, the world's financial, cultural and entertainment center, that so many people gather. The rest of the small cities in the United States have a population of 20000 or 30000 everywhere. Compared with the high, large and global urban construction scheme prevailing in China, it is really not a way.
New York is a city with a very tense rhythm. The most famous natural is the notorious Wall Street in the future. The various financial traps flowing out here directly harm the people all over the world, making it difficult to get up.
From the bottom of his heart, as an engineering doctoral graduate, Xiao Qi is a little wary of a wide range of fraudulent financial means. In his opinion, no matter when, people can only make progress through technology and industry, and those virtual various finance will be despised by everyone sooner or later.
For example, the elites of Wall Street are already carrying out conspiracies one after another, and the crisis is imminent. However, except for a few people who clearly know it, even these elites themselves are addicted to the ”game” developed by themselves.
Xiao Qi is not so great. He will rush to the U.S. government to tell them what the global financial crisis will look like in the future, because if he does so, his best end is to be locked up in a mental hospital for research.
Moreover, from the later analysis of some experts, Xiao Qi even knew that behind wall street, there was a faint shadow of the U.S. government. In this global financial storm, if the U.S. government's ass was clean, it was almost unbelievable.
So, Xiao Qi is just passing by.
Where he wanted to go, there was no direct plane from China. It happened to be not far from New York, so he chose New York.
In fact, in the United States for seven or eight years, Xiao Qi basically had not been out of Southern California, let alone New York, which almost had to cross the whole United States.
He didn't even leave the airport. He went directly to the counter of American Airlines and handled his ticket to Washington.
Some people say that the United States is a country on wheels. Xiao Qi thinks it's good, because almost every family in the United States has a car and likes to travel around in a car.
There are few tolls on other people's highways. I'm afraid the toll ratio is less than 10%. All highway maintenance costs have been included in the oil price. Therefore, even Americans' favorite pickup truck consumes a lot of oil, they can afford it.
But at the same time, it should also be said that the United States is a country on a plane.
