"I also want to thank you for helping me beat that bastard!"

Candace, who had been beside him, suddenly said, that Jin Muchen had long known that she and Matt should have a story, and turned his head to look at her at this time.

Candace lowered his head and his eyes were faint: "That guy used to be my boyfriend. We both came to Conduit, New Hampshire. He was in college a year earlier than me, and I came to New York just for him. We've been fine, but my family went bankrupt some time ago, and this **** suddenly disappeared from my life. Later I found out that he was pursuing my best best friend at that time, which is what you see today Helen..."

Candace told in a low voice, and Jin Muchen guessed right, it really is just a foreign version of the story of an infatuated woman.

Harvey and Mike looked at him with sympathy, being betrayed by their boyfriend and best friend at the same time, it was a really bad experience, and they didn't even know how to comfort Candice.

And Jin Muchen reached out and grabbed Candace's hand and shook it. Candace looked up at him, his eyes full of different emotions.

"However, I'm much better now. If I can say this in front of you today, it means that this article has been turned over in my heart. Thank you, Mu Chen!"

Jin Muchen didn't speak, just grabbed her hand and shook it hard.

"By the way, what about you and that Sean? And that woman, is there a story between you two?"

Candace watched the embarrassment when Jin Muchen and Ma Ling met. She was just as curious. Jin Muchen's past, including Harvey and Mike, was the same.

Jin Muchen didn't hide anything, it was all over anyway, so he told Candice and the others about the matter between him and Ma Ling, and everyone sighed.

It turns out that everyone has such a similar past, and now it's good, they are all fellows who suffer from the same disease, and now they have the common ground of being good friends.

"By the way, Mu Chen, so you are in the antique business now?"

"Yeah! During the daytime, I work as a porter in the distribution center. At night, I learn some knowledge about antiques with my uncle. On weekends, I go to the antique market. This is the case for now!"

"Haha, this is a good business. You have to learn more. We may need you when we have investments in the future! You must know that antiques are hard currency, and sometimes they are more reliable than US dollars!"

Harvey said with a laugh, it is true that in economically developed regions such as the United States and Western Europe, rich people are keen to invest in antiques, since they can show their tastes, and secondly, they are also to protect their investments more reasonably and safely.

After all, there are risks in the financial market, and the world economy is also cyclical. No matter what kind of currency, there will be a cycle of ups and downs. Smart people with money will not put all their eggs in one basket.

Especially in recent years, after just experiencing the largest economic crisis in the history of the United States, even rich people in the United States have lingering fears about their own currency and financial markets.

Don't look at the recent period of time, the US economy has been strong, but the real rich know that this is just an illusion and a false fire.

The main reason is that the economy of the euro zone is weak, and Russia has beaten Ukraine violently, resulting in a large amount of capital outflow from the euro zone, entering the US stock market to avoid risks.

In fact, the real real economy of the United States is still riddled with holes. Once peace is restored in Europe, the beautiful bubble in the United States will be burst, and the economy of the United States will definitely plummet.

Therefore, taking advantage of the strong dollar at this time, investing in antiques is a very good way to protect the safety of funds.

Now, not only big businessmen in the United States are investing in antiques, but even many business groups have invested in a lot of antiques. Many world-class paintings auctioned in the market were taken down by these big companies and then hung on the directors of the company headquarters. on the wall of their room, or in the vault.

Because Harvey's father is one of New York's most famous business lawyers, he is well aware of what's going on in the antiques market.

Then he told Jin Muchen and the others a few more anecdotes about the relationship between antiques and business groups that he heard from his father, which made everyone even more stunned. It sounds a little emotional, it seems that this industry seems to be quite promising!

At this time, the two girls had already prepared their supper, and everyone went in to eat and chat.

"By the way, Mu Chen, you might as well live here tonight. There is a garage sale at the Bentley's next door to our house tomorrow. You might as well go and have a look."

While chewing the steak, Harvey said to Jin Muchen, who was also stunned when he heard it.

"Mr. Bentley and my old man are in the same industry and a very famous commercial lawyer, but that is the past tense. The old man died of a stroke a month ago, and his children are splitting the property. I plan to put Bentley in the The house here is sold and the money is split. Tomorrow they plan to dispose of the second-hand furniture in the villa. Hehe, you know that although Mr. Bentley was not an antique player before his death, he was also a person who likes to travel. When I go on a trip, I bring back some gadgets from all over the world. I saw it when I was a kid when I went to his house to play, so he really has a lot of good things at home."

Seeing that Jin Muchen didn't understand much, Harvey explained it to him.

Jin Muchen suddenly realized that it was like this, so you can go and have a look. Maybe the late Mr. Bentley could buy some good things when he was traveling?

In addition, the definition of antiques in the United States is completely different from ours. Those second-hand handicrafts that are well preserved, beautifully made and made of fine materials can be regarded as antiques as long as they are old enough. Maybe they can find something. What about the good stuff?

After dinner, it was already past two in the morning. After a night of commotion and drinking a lot of wine, everyone was tired.

Harvey went upstairs and occupied the master room himself, and everyone chose the other rooms at will. Jin Muchen chose a quiet guest room downstairs, and Candace slept next to him.

Originally, he still had some charming thoughts, thinking that he would go further with Candace, but soon he realized the piety of a talented Catholic girl, Candace just gave him a good-bay-kiss, and then Leave him alone in the empty bed.

In the past, I learned about the United States in China mostly through American movies. At that time, I had two different impressions of the United States, guns and sex!

But after I got to the United States and had contact with Americans, I realized that it was not the case at all. Americans are actually quite conservative when it comes to sex.

Especially in the agricultural areas of the Midwest, and in several northern New England provinces, Catholic families are more conservative in this regard.

Jin Muchen even wondered if Matt and Candace broke up because they couldn't get satisfaction from Candace in this regard, so. . .

After thinking about it in bed for a while, he fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, he found that it was past eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

When I came out of the room, I found that only Candace woke up alone, and was busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast for everyone.

Jin Muchen was the first guy to enjoy Candice's breakfast. It was a typical American breakfast, milk oatmeal, pancakes, and fried bacon.

After a sweet breakfast with Candice, the two upstairs hadn't woken up yet.

Jin Muchen didn't wait any longer, left breakfast and a note with Candace, left the villa, and walked straight to the next door.

Although it claims to be next door, the two are actually far away, and they both walk for ten minutes, which shows the luxury of Americans in terms of land.

This villa of Mr. Bentley is also a seaside villa. It can be seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows of Harvey's house, but it is not easy to find it from the road behind the villa.

Because this villa is located on a small peninsula that protrudes from the land and extends into the sea, the entrance to the entrance is hidden in a dense forest.

If it weren't for the big "Garage Sale" sign erected at the door, it would be really difficult for the two outsiders, Jin Muchen and Candace, to find this place.

When they arrived, the garage sale had already started for most of the day, but it also showed that the Bentley family was rich.

If this is replaced by an ordinary family, that is, put a few cardboard boxes along the street and throw some unused second-hand goods in it for you to choose. If it sells quickly, it will be sold out in one or two hours.

But the Bentleys are actually going to sell for a whole day.

Entering the gate is a two-way driving road hidden in the shade of trees, and after a few minutes walk, you can see the big villa like the Bentley's castle.

At this time, there were many small trucks, vans, and many porters parked in front of the big villa. They were constantly going in and out of the castle. From time to time, they took out one or two things from the castle-like villa and put them in to the pickup truck.

Jin Muchen, who participated in such a garage sale for the first time, couldn't help but be stunned.

At that time, Candace, who was born in a wealthy family, was not used to it, and kept explaining to Jin Muchen.

She has really participated in a lot of garage sales of such a rich family's home before.

"It seems that Harvey still doesn't understand. This Mr. Bentley must have collected a lot of good things. These workers should be brought by the antique dealers who came to participate in the garage sale. Those merchants, every time they see something, they will Negotiate the price with the owner, and if you agree with each other, just buy it directly."
