Chapter 79 Unexpected Conflict
It was already nightfall on Itaewon Street.
An Rusong parked the car in a parking space on the street that was not easy to find, and then walked into a staircase alley on the street.
This is the most prosperous place in Seoul and is also the location of the so-called red light district. People walking on the streets are either young women wearing scantily clad clothes and heavy makeup, or foreigners speaking English.
In the narrow alley, even the air is filled with the strong smell of perfume. If you want to use one word to describe this place, it would be erosion.
Yes, this is Itaewon Street in 2007. At this time, the Yongsan base next to here has not yet been moved. A large number of American soldiers who enjoy super-national privileges and are overflowing with hormones gather here. They are the most unstable element in the area.
For many older Koreans, Itaewon is a place they cannot go because it is easy to get into trouble here.
Through the alley, An Rusong came to a quite bustling street. On both sides of the road, there were many bars with flashing neon lights, and some shops with large floor-to-ceiling windows, in which stood young ladies wearing heavy makeup. .
This is the inner street of Itaewon Street. The shops and bars on both sides of the street all have English signs, and almost no Korean can be seen. And when I stood on the roadside and looked around, most of the people I saw were foreigners.
An Rusong mingled in the crowd and looked around. He was looking for a bar called "SSB". The full name of the bar is "Stars & Stripes Bar".
"Stars and Stripes Bar?"
The name sounds very American.
An Rusong doesn't like this place, let alone the bar with this name. However, Mike invited him here to celebrate tonight, and he couldn't refuse the other party's kindness.
Just as he was looking around, a voice from the front right shouted: "Hey, Ann! This way!"
This was Mike's voice, and he immediately heard came out.
Looking in the direction from which the sound came, sure enough, just ten meters ahead on the right side of the street, Mike, wearing a plaid half-sleeved shirt, was waving to him from a distance.
"Hey, Mike!" An Rusong smiled and greeted the other party, and at the same time, he quickened his pace to meet him.
"Ann, my news has finally been confirmed, the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates." When he came closer, Mike took the initiative to take two steps forward, gave him a warm hug, and said loudly, "Apple's stock price today It increased by 2.7 US dollars in one day, haha. I have already thought about it. I will wait until the next time I return to China. "At that time, I want to buy a Cadillac Escalade."
Just today, the Federal Reserve finally made the decision to cut interest rates. As Mike said, as soon as the news was announced, almost all global stock markets skyrocketed, and Apple's stock price surged. The valuation rose by $2.7 per share in one day. Calculated based on this increase, the money he and Mike invested in the stock market together made more than $80,000 in one day alone.
Of course, An Rusong will never tell Mike that in addition to the money they invested together, he also invested a larger sum of money. With this investment, he has made a fortune today. It earned more than $400,000.
"Mike, if I remember correctly, you can't buy a Cadillac Escalade with $80,000," An Rusong said, holding his arm.
“That’s not good,” Mike winked at him and said, “After all, these stocks will continue to rise, and I am prepared to continue to hold them until the beginning of next month. If my estimate is not wrong If so, the entire market should be bullish in less than half a month.”
Hold An Rusong's shoulders, he walked to the roadside and continued: "Maybe the money I get from the stock market will be enough to pay for the car."
After saying that, he laughed again. It could be seen that the American was very proud now.
"I have confidence in you!" An Rusong lost no time in flattering him.
"Me too!" Americans don't know what modesty is, so Mike nodded in agreement.
While talking, the two walked to the roadside under the purple light and shadow. On the colorful neon signboard, there was a line of English spelled out with colorful lights: "Stars&StripesBar".
At this time, the bar was obviously not officially open yet. There was a group of girls in sexy and fashionable clothes lining up at the door with colorful lights. These girls blocked a door. In front of another door next to it, stood a burly, bear-like black man.
While talking to An Rusong, Mike walked up to the black man, who automatically stepped aside and let the single glass door out.
The glass door is not very wide and can only accommodate one person at most. Mike walked in first.
An Rusong didn't think much, he just followed Mike, and when he was about to follow him in, he was pushed in the chest by the burly black man. The black man didn't use much strength, but he was so big that he could compete with O'Neal. In addition, An Rusong was not mentally prepared at all, so he staggered back two steps after being pushed like this.
"Hey!" Mike turned around at this moment. He saw An Rusong being pushed, and immediately shouted, "What are you doing?!"< br>
After shouting a word, he rushed out of the door again, stretched out his hands and pushed the black man on the chest.
Mike is not short either, but he also has a score to compare with. In front of this black man, he is a full head shorter. At the same time, the difference in size between the two sides is too big.
He pushed the black man's chest with both hands. The black man didn't move at all, but he himself took half a step back.
However, the big black man didn't mean to argue with him. He just pointed at An Rusong and said, "This guy can't come in!"
Fuck me
This chain of contempt is a bit obvious!
An Rusong was speechless. He felt that there should be a sign at the door of the bar to indicate that Koreans were not allowed to enter. No, it should be that Korean men were not allowed to enter.
Mike was very angry. He invited An Rusong here. If he couldn't get into the bar today, he would lose not only An Rusong's face, but also his face. It could even be said that his face would be lost even more.
Since getting acquainted with Mike, in An Rusong's eyes, this American has always been gentle and elegant, a true gentleman. But today, at this moment, he finally saw this guy's unreasonable side.
Unable to push the strong black man, Mike began to point at the other person and curse, and various racially charged words came out of his mouth in succession. While cursing, he stretched out his other hand. He put it into his pocket and took out an iPhone.
It can be seen that although the strong black man does not take An Rusong seriously, he does not do much to provoke white people like Mike. But the problem is that the latter's scolding is too unpleasant, and he does not finish it. Gone. Even if the strong black man tried to suppress his emotions, he couldn't hold it in all the time.
Just when Mike took out his cell phone and was cursing and flipping through his address book, the strong black man suddenly took action. He just swung his fist and hit Mike in the face. .
To be honest, An Rusong had been waiting for this moment. When he heard Mike swearing there, he knew that things must be big. However, he did not step forward to dissuade him. Instead, he just stood aside and watched, waiting for the strong black man to take action.
The clay figurine is still earthy, let alone a living person. Sure enough, he didn't wait in vain, the strong black man finally took action.
At the moment when the strong black man shook his fist, An Rusong quickly stepped forward, shouted "Be careful", and stood directly in front of Mike.
The strong black man obviously did not intend to punch him in the face. The moment he blocked it, the strong black man made a move to pull back, but it happened too suddenly. Unable to react, the punch finally hit An Rusong in the face.
Although the strong black man had already withdrawn his strength, the punch still made An Rusong's eyes black. In addition, he had made a forward movement before. Under the action of inertia, he The whole person ran straight towards the glass door of the bar.
With a "bang" sound, An Rusong's head hit the glass door firmly. However, the glass on the door should be tempered and very strong. Under the action of inertia, An Rusong hit hard. On top, it failed to break the glass.
However, this sudden scene frightened the girls lining up on the other side. Screams suddenly rang out among the girls. Pedestrians on the nearby streets were also shocked by this. The movement on the side attracted me.
Mike obviously did not expect that the strong black man would dare to make a move. He had just dialed a number, and when he looked up, he saw the other party punching him.
At that time, he had no time to react. When he came to his senses, An Rusong had already rushed in front of him and was punched to the ground by the strong black man.
"OH~~F" Mike came to his senses and swore directly. He ignored the strong black man and ran to check An Rusong's injury immediately.
"An, how are you?!" Holding a mobile phone in one hand, Mike squatted on the ground, nervously lifting An Rusong up from the ground, and kept saying, "God! These are so damn barbaric! I want to take him to court, I want him to go to jail!”
Seeing that the American did not run away, but came to help him immediately, An Ru was still in a dazed state! Song, couldn't help feeling happy.
Yes, this American must have some racial discrimination, but he obviously really regards himself as a friend. Otherwise, his natural reaction under tension will definitely not be the best. He would come over to check on his injuries.
This shows that my plan is on the road to success.
