The weather is getting hotter and summer is coming, and many tourists are visible to the naked eye in Atlantic City.
These tourists who come from the inland and south to vacation and summer vacation are all popular in Li Yaoyang's eyes.
Recently, all major hotels in Atlantic City have been filled with all the people, and even many people's homes have started hotel business. This is the pace of making money for the whole people.
Kiel Elander is still busy with elections, spending most of the year in Trenton, the capital of New Jersey.
Compared to Atlantic City, Trenton is now a metropolis, located in the Midwest of New Jersey, adjacent to Pennsylvania across the Delaware River.
As the place where Washington led the Continental Army to win the first victory in the Ugly War of Independence, many people don’t know that Trenton still has a legendary history.
After the outbreak of the War of Independence, the British army transferred a large number of troops from the British mainland, including mercenaries from Germany, most of whom were from the Black Forest area of Germany.
Therefore, it is called the "Hesse Mercenary".
These German mercenaries were brave and good at fighting, defeating the Continental Army many times in New York and New Jersey, and the Continental Army was forced to withdraw from New Jersey to Pennsylvania.
At that time, the Continental Army was depressed. In order to turn the situation around, the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, Washington, led the army to cross the Delaware River on Christmas Eve in 1776, regardless of the severe cold weather.
There is a famous oil painting that describes this story - Washington crosses the Delaware River.
It was cold and the river was frozen, and it was ice again. It was Christmas again, so the German mercenaries stationed in Trenton did not expect the Continental Army to suddenly appear near their base and were caught off guard.
After a brief fire exchange, almost all the German mercenaries stationed in the local area were captured, while the ugly army suffered very little losses.
This battle greatly boosted the morale of the Continental Army and laid the foundation for the final victory of the War of Independence.
German-American painter Emmanuel Leuitz made famous by painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware River" with this war.
After the founding of the Chou Kingdom, Trenton briefly became the capital of the Chou Kingdom. The ugly man who has never liked to study history probably wouldn't know that Trenton had such a legend.
Washington even considered Trenton as the permanent capital of the Ugly Kingdom, but gave up because the southern states believed that the place was too dependent on the north to oppose it.
If Trenton had been chosen as the permanent capital at that time, it would probably be the famous Washington DC but the "Trenton DC".
However, the reason why Trenton was able to develop was not because of this history, but because it existed as the most important manufacturing center in the Ugly Kingdom.
There is now a very famous slogan - "Made in Trenton, the whole world wants it."
But in the end, no products that are too important, such as rubber, wire, ceramics and cigars, can be replaced.
This is why Trenton was the first to suffer the sluggishness after the Great Depression.
Of course, that was the future. Trenton is very developed now. The people who walk on the streets all have smiles on their faces. This is the best manifestation of the happiness index.
Li Yaoyang sat on the Rolls-Royce, quietly observing the street scene outside the window, and couldn't help but think of the future of Atlantic City.
Industry is the key!
There are crowds of people on the streets and alleys, and the sun is in the sky, but it doesn’t feel dry. It’s a good day to bask in the sun.
But Li Yaoyang didn't have the time or mood. He suddenly came to Trenton not for travel, but for causing trouble for Kiel Elland.
Newark is ready, and the ship will arrive at the port in the next few days. He is not good enough, Kiel Elander causes trouble for himself at this critical moment.
As the saying goes, the best defense is offense. Passive waiting is not Li Yaoyang's style. If he doesn't want to cause trouble, he can only cause trouble for others and make you have no time to take care of it. He is the safest.
The New Jersey Capitol has a history of a hundred years. From its appearance, it looks a bit similar to the Capitol, but one is larger and the other is smaller.
Unlike other state capitol buildings located in the park, this historic building is located on the street and blends with its surroundings, surrounded by the Legislative Building.
The driver was asked to park on the street, Li Yaoyang got off, briefly sorted out his clothes, and looked up to observe this building full of historical atmosphere.
A beautiful woman got off the car from the other side, walked around the rear of the car, held Li Yaoyang's arm, and said softly:
"Boss, why are you here?"
It was Heidi. This time, in addition to having a long experience, he also took a vacation. After spending a long time in Atlantic City, he always feels bored.
The black silk gauze hanging from the hat covered half of her face, and most of her beautiful face disappeared, but her cold temperament could not be concealed by any means.
"Do something, don't talk later."
"knew."
Dada, the high heels stepped on the marble, making a seductive sound.
He stopped a clerk and inquired about the location, and the two looked for it.
"Princeton Councillor's Office" is that.
Li Yaoyang looked up and glanced at the nameplate and knocked on the door lightly.
"Please come in!" A voice came from inside.
When I pushed the door open, there was a small table facing me. A middle-aged lady sat behind me and looked at me curiously:
"What are you doing?"
"Good morning, I want to talk to Princeton Councillor."
“Are there any reservations?”
"No."
"Sao Rui, if you don't make an appointment..."
Li Yaoyang seemed to have known that she would say this for a long time, and took out a check worth $2,000 from her pocket.
"Can I make an appointment now?" His intimate smile made the female secretary panic. It was not because he was so handsome, but because he was simply frightened by the way he made an appointment.
"Ah~ Of course, you're already on the reservation list. I haven't seen it before, sorry."
"It's okay, then..."
"Wait a minute, I'll go in and report, this person..."
"lee, please call me lee~"
"Okay Mr. Lee, please wait for a moment." The female secretary stood up, took the check away, stuffed it openly into her underwear, and even threw a charming look at Li Yaoyang.
"Bi Chi!" Heidi cursed, her voice so low that only she and Li Yaoyangneng heard it.
Li Yaoyang was unmoved and quietly waited for her to come in and ask questions.
After a while, the female secretary came out:
"Mr. lee, please come in."
"Thank you!"
Patting Heidi's little hand:
"You're waiting for me here."
She pouted:
"Don't I need to accompany you?"
"No, I'll come out soon."
After saying that, I stepped into the suite, which was not as spacious as I thought. The dark red decoration and steady furniture were quite in line with the style of a member of the parliament.
This is a white-haired old man, who is at least 65 years old, but his eyes are still bright.
"Young man, I don't remember seeing you in my lifetime." The other party questioned as soon as he spoke.
