Since meeting Connie Valais, Zhou Yang basically goes to her office every week to discuss with her how to improve the plan for the New York City government to smash the car.

So much so that there was a gossip at Dawei Law Firm that Connie had found an Asian lover. Of course, this is fake news. Connie's appearance does not conform to Zhou Yang's aesthetic.

However, taking advantage of the opportunity to suppress gossip, Connie told her plan to a partner who supported her and persuaded her to agree to continue to advance the matter.

After gaining support from senior executives of Davie Law Firm, Connie was finally able to let go completely, and she also took the opportunity to form a small team.

Of course, this team has not been officially recognized by the law firm, and there are pitifully few members. In addition to Connie herself, there are also Reese, who has just been transferred from the front desk to her exclusive legal assistant, and Zhou Yang, a non-staff member.

The plaintiff must be required to sue. Zhou Yang and Connie’s idea is to establish a New York street artist alliance. Since we want to establish an alliance, we must go out to attract enough people.

A formal lawyer like Connie is following up on several lawsuits almost every moment, so she definitely has no time to go out in person, so this task needs to be completed by Reese.

There are not many streets in New York, but all kinds of gangsters and hippies can be seen everywhere. You should know that there are no gentlemen in the world on the streets, so Zhou Yang took the initiative to accompany Reese with the excuse of the flower protector.

Of course, the reason why Zhou Yang is willing to spend time with Reese on the street was that in addition to trying to guide the favorability of the beauties, he actually had another purpose, which was to develop several street distributors who helped him sell paintings.

He and Liu Xiaojie are now in the model of painting by one person and selling painting by one person, and the income ceiling is easy to calculate.

Even if Liu Xiaojie takes out all the time except eating and sleeping to draw, he can earn up to 40,000 US dollars a month. This is still under the most ideal situation, so it is impossible to have so much.

At first glance, each person's monthly income is 20,000 US dollars, even if it is discounted, it still has 10,000 US dollars. Compared with the per capita income level in the United States in 1980, it is actually no less than the average level of a gold-collar profession like a lawyer.

But such a little money definitely cannot make Zhou Yang dissatisfied, so he had long been thinking about how to break the bottleneck. In fact, it was very simple. Just use Liu Xiaojie's paintings to print them into posters in the printing factory.

Industrial printing can not only achieve large-scale copying, but also reduce costs. As long as Zhou Yang's printing volume is large enough, the factory price of each poster will not exceed US$1.

After all, only a few people are willing to spend $50 or $100 on the street to buy a color powder painting. But what if it is a painting-style poster that costs $5 each?

Why can Costco still rise rapidly in the United States with Walmart spread all over the United States? Isn’t it just that it’s small profits but quick turnover?

But if Zhou Yang wants to support the poster recharge required for the printing factory to schedule a one-time version, it is impossible for Zhou Yang to sell it alone. He needs to find enough distributors on the streets of New York.

"Reese, have you seen the black guy across the road? He has been looking at us!"

Zhou Yang and Reese sat in a small cafe at the entrance of West 43rd Street on Seventh Avenue in Manhattan and took a nap. Zhou Yang pointed out of the glass window and said.

Between Seventh Avenue, Manhattan, West 42nd Street and West 47th Street, it is known as the "crossroads of the world" - the famous New York Times Square.

The area of ​​Times Square in New York is not large. His most famous event is Kiss in the early morning of the New Year every year. Back then, when it turned back to 1980, this was not a must-see place for tourists to check in, but rather a must-see place for buy/spring place for sex.

On the exterior walls of the tall buildings around Times Square, what stands now is not dazzling electronic screens, but ambiguous neon signs. This is the largest red light district in New York, and is called "the deuce" by New Yorkers.

Each light card represents a strip club that makes perverts linger. In addition to these regular troops, there are also a large number of guerrillas on the street.

If you drive by Times Square, just stop and wait for the red light, a young lady in exposed clothes will immediately lie by your car window and ask you: do you want a date?

Of course, when it is the most lively, there are still a lot of X-workers who start to go out to work and hang out among the crowd with certificates. The police maintain order, pimps are responsible for security, and surrounding hotels, bars and clubs provide ambiguous trading venues, a bustling and prosperous scene.

The traffic conditions in Manhattan are bad. Whenever there is a traffic jam, there will be a bold driver. He simply opens the car door and pulls in a young lady, and bites it in a thrilling car before entering the Midtown Tunnel.

Zhou Yang and Reese came here today, naturally not to seek excitement. But because the artistic atmosphere around Times Square is also strong, the famous Broadway is located in this area nearby.

Broadway was originally a street that ran across the north and south of Manhattan. Most of the earliest theaters in Manhattan were built on both sides of Broadway Avenue. So over time, "Broadway" became synonymous with American drama and musicals.

The current "Broadway" refers to the theater area from north of West 41st Street to south of West 53rd Street. There are 40 Broadway theaters, as well as a large number of "Outside Broadway" and "Outside Broadway" theaters.

The main difference between these three is the number of seats in the theater. Among them, Broadway theaters usually refer to a large theater with more than 500 seats.

Because the theaters bring a large number of audiences, the surrounding area of ​​Times Square is more lively. Therefore, many New York street artists also prefer to set up stalls here.

For example, before meeting Zhou Yang, Liu Xiaojie would set up a stall on time before nine o'clock every night. Because this period is the end of the evening performance of the theaters, a large number of audiences flock to the streets, which will bring a lot of business.

In fact, Reese should come back at night, so it is more efficient to attract people. But Davie Law Firm will not pay her overtime salary because of this, so unless her boss Connie speaks, an ordinary American like Reese will not be conscious of taking the initiative to 996.

"It seems that the person who sold us tickets just now was a bad idea for us?" Reese looked in the direction Zhou Yang pointed, and recognized the other party at a glance.

"Haha, although the streets of New York are not safe, they will not encounter danger during the day in the downtown area. I think it is not about making you an idea, but about being afraid that you will make other people's ideas!" Zhou Yang smiled.

"What's the meaning?"

"A pretty strange face like you has been wandering around here and I guess his first thought is to guess whether you are a police undercover agent and come here quietly to crack down on illegal X transactions."

"That doesn't have anything to do with him?"

"Maybe in addition to being a hawker, he is also the eyeliner of a little black gang nearby. He is now considering whether to report your abnormality to his boss." Zhou Yang continued to smile.

"What should we do? Let's leave now?" Reese obviously had never been exposed to such a street scene, and was a little nervous when Zhou Yang said it.
Chapter completed!
