Another night of absurdity.
However, Jiang Ci was arranged to rest the next day, and the two of them slept until after 11 a.m. before waking up.
Instead of eating near the apartment, Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli took a taxi to Macy's.
Logically speaking, Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli should have gone to Times Square, which is the most representative place in New York City and is known as the Crossroads of the World.
Jiang Ci told Zhou Mingli, "I had only been in New York for a short time, and I went to Times Square during a break once."
"It is obvious that Times Square in the 1980s was fundamentally different from the Times Square that later became a bustling entertainment and shopping paradise, home to many shopping malls and theaters."
Times Square is now filled with sex trafficking venues, shops selling cheap souvenirs, and a mix of bloodshed and violence.
At night, they openly screened low-quality films, creating a chaotic scene.
Jiang Ci went there once and never went back.
After listening, Zhou Mingli fell into deep thought.
He felt that Jiang Ci should prepare some more weapons for self-defense.
After arriving at Macy's, Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci first filled their stomachs before starting to shop inside.
Jiang Ci wanted to buy some things for his relatives and friends in Beijing. The selection here was quite comprehensive, and whether it was clothing or daily necessities, it was at least twenty years ahead of Beijing.
Zhou Mingli even saw a Macintosh 128k computer.
That was the first home computer Banana Company released this year.
It comes with a mouse, keyboard, and graphical user interface.
Zhou Mingli walked over and looked at it for a long time.
The Macintosh's original box-like shape is the classic design of the earliest Macintosh.
Jiang Ci leaned closer, saw the computer, and said, "Even if we buy it, it won't pass through airport security."
This kind of technologically advanced thing simply cannot be put on an airplane.
Zhou Mingli nodded. "I know. The factory also added a computer to the lab. It's very bulky. I had to ask Mr. Lu for a lot of effort to get it."
Jiang Ci raised an eyebrow. "So, you increased the computing power in your lab, which is why your televisions have made breakthroughs in integrated circuits?"
Zhou Mingli smiled and said, "Pretty much. You know my goal isn't just television."
It's just that in this era, television sets have attracted widespread attention and are seen as a symbol of "status" in everyone's eyes.
If you make it, you'll make a lot of money.
Zhou Mingli spared no expense in hiring talent, hoping to overcome technical difficulties and expand the industrial chain beyond just televisions.
In a few years, the popular pager will evolve into the 'luxury' mobile phone, then flip phone, home computer, air conditioner, refrigerator, and so on.
Zhou Mingli plans to delve deeper into these areas.
Buying an expensive computer with computing power that won't be as powerful as it will be in the future is a necessary choice.
He also plans to advertise and promote the Jiang Ming brand, hoping to leverage the IP to drive product consumption...
Zhou Mingli had a very meticulous plan.
He knew exactly what was going on. Seeing this, Jiang Ci didn't ask him any more questions about his work. After thinking for a while, she said, "I do know someone who is a genius in physics. He is extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely interested in our country's cuisine."
Jiangci used four very strong words in a row.
Zhou Mingli looked down at her and saw Jiang Ci smiling. "Would you like to get to know me?"
Zhou Mingli pulled her into his arms. "Looks like I have no choice but to show off my skills."
He pretended to show his palm.
Literally, it means to show off one's skills.
Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what was happening, she laughed so hard that her body trembled. She fell into Zhou Mingli's arms and didn't recover for a long time.
Zhou Mingli looked at her, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face, and tucked her hair behind her ear.
"I'll visit the conference building when you're at work."
Jiang Ci wiped away the tears of laughter, "Sure, I'll invite him over too. You two will definitely have a lot to talk about."
After buying a lot of things at the mall, Jiang Ci also picked out several bow ties, cufflinks, tie clips, and lapel pins in different colors for Zhou Mingli.
Zhou Mingli has acquired several more suits due to work commitments, all of which he will need.
Zhou Mingli carefully put it away.
On the way back, Jiang Ci said, "The money you sent me can finally be spent."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingli frowned. "Didn't you spend any money?"
Jiang Ci said, "My salary covers all my daily expenses, and there's even a surplus."
After saying that, Jiang Ci noticed that Zhou Mingli was deep in thought, and slowly added, "Of course, I will also add some jewelry, using the money you sent."
Zhou Mingli's expression softened somewhat.
He said firmly, "Buy the expensive one."
Jiang Ci elbowed him, saying, "I'm a diplomat in New York, not someone who flaunts wealth."
Over the years, Jiangci's consumption habits have changed somewhat, but some things haven't really changed.
Previously, Jiangci's assistants were in charge of all aspects of their lives, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, ensuring the finest ingredients, the most precious fabrics, and the most comfortable living environment.
In her spare time, Jiang Ci made it a habit to make herself comfortable, and all of this was built with money.
Even now, aside from work, Jiang Ci still makes sure he feels comfortable.
But she enjoys life, which is reflected in eating delicious food, wearing appropriate and beautiful clothes that make her feel comfortable, and having good sleep and high energy.
If this had happened in the past, Jiang Ci would never have believed that she would make this choice.
The environment can truly shape a person.
Zhou Mingli saw that she was quite used to it and didn't force her at all.
He held Jiang Ci's hand and lowered his head to kiss her fingers.
