Chapter 141 Arriving in New York
"Ah! I won't play!"
Audrey glared at Evan with hatred, and she got angry with her that she lost all the previous winners in less than an hour.
At the end of the game, Evan distributed all the money he had won to Simran and Bob who had lost a lot, and he didn't leave a penny.
The two didn't want to accept it, but Evan said, "You just treat it as a tip", so they had to collect the change.
At this time, it was already dark outside the window, so Evan asked Isla and the others to go for supper, and asked them to bring Audrey back.
As for himself, he only ate it an hour ago and has no appetite yet.
"Don't... spare your life... hahaha... I'm so itchy!"
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong"
Just as Evan and Audrey were playing, the car door was knocked.
It's Simran.
Simran first delivered Audrey's dinner to the carriage, and then returned to the dining car to eat.
The two stopped playing, Audrey had dinner, while Evan himself lay half on the bed and read the newspaper.
Newspapers are sent to trains when passing through various stations.
The book Evan reads is called "Salt Lake City Tribune".
Evan, the newspaper's "headline" was interested when he saw the title and immediately read the main text carefully.
"At Harvard graduation ceremony, the new Secretary of State Marshall made a grand statement, "We want to give money to the ruins of the European continent?"
Marshall?
This is like giving Marshall a blow to the plan!
The inertia of history is really great...
In my impression, the European continent, which suffered heavy losses in World War II, quickly recovered with the assistance of the Marshall Plan. Especially West Germany, which recovered the fastest, soon it took the second place in the world's industrial output value. This aid plan, which would cost more than 10 billion US dollars, not only brought the economy of Western European countries to reversal and social contradictions, effectively maintained the stability of the capitalist world, and promoted the process of economic integration in Western Europe. It also allowed the United States to release its own capital and enter European countries, strengthened the United States' leadership in the capitalist world, and also brought huge orders to its own enterprises, making the economy prosperous.
However, it was precisely because of the Marshall Plan that the Cold War confrontation was deepened. It made the Soviet Union propose the Molotov Plan in a tit-for-tat way.
Of course, most of these have nothing to do with me.
With the industry you have in your hands at this time, there is almost no place to benefit from this plan.
Most of the money received by Western Europe is spent on grain, feed, fertilizer, fuel, machines, vehicles, raw materials and other materials, and none of them are related to Evan's industry.
The only hope is probably medical supplies such as Band-Aids.
In addition, Ichiki Ando’s instant noodle association will probably get a little leftover, provided that someone can help.
Well, it seems that I can do a little bit of effort.
With my relationship with Amor Food at this time, Mr. Frederick should be helping.
Thinking of this, Evan couldn't help but nodded slightly and secretly remembered this thought into his heart.
"Evan...Evan?"
"Hmm? What's the matter?" Evan came to his senses when Audrey called out the second time.
Audrey said: "It's nothing, I just see you in a daze...what are you thinking?"
Evan put the newspaper aside and waved to Audrey. Audrey climbed onto the bed and hugged her whole body in Evan's arms.
Evan held Audrey and asked softly: "Have you ever thought about going back to your hometown in the future?"
Audrey fell silent when she heard this.
Evan knew that Audrey didn't want to recall her past in Europe, but he continued: "I just saw a news article in the newspaper. I guess soon, the United States will lend a helping hand to Europe, and then all countries will usher in a spring of recovery."
“The Netherlands and Belgium are no exception.”
After a few seconds of pause, Evan said again: "If you have the chance, let's go back to your hometown together to see how?"
"...Hmm!" Audrey buried her head in Evan's house and replied softly.
That night, Evan finally stopped insomnia, although he was able to fall asleep in the middle of the night.
The next day (June 15), at 11:00 a.m. Central Time, the "Los Angeles City" train arrived in Chicago.
After staying in Chicago for two hours, everyone boarded the train to New York again.
This time, Bob only bought ordinary sleeping tickets, and was in the same carriage as the crew.
When they met again, Miss Fabre naturally did not give Evan and Audrey a good look.
As soon as Abbot met, he cared about Evan's health. The excuse Audrey made that day was that Evan was sick.
Evan can only say that he is much better.
On the afternoon of June 16, the train arrived at New York Central Railway Station in Manhattan.
New York Central Railway Station is the largest station in the United States. The most attractive thing about the station is the high waiting hall and the design of the roadway between people and vehicles. The main staircase in the waiting hall is in the style of the Paris Opera House in France. The vault of the hall was drawn by French artist Paul Helleu based on a medieval manuscript. There are more than 2,500 stars in total. The positions of the stars are marked by lights, and the power supply is full of radiance.
"Evan! Audrey!"
At the exit, Gillard, who came to pick up the person, saw the target and raised his right hand, swayed hard and greeted him.
Also welcomed by Attorney Albert.
In order to organize the Rubik's Cube competition, Gillard came to New York two weeks earlier than Evan.
"Thank you all the way!"
After receiving Evan, Albert said, "Let's go."
"Wait first!"
Audrey shouted, she had something to say, "I'd better be with the crew, it's easier."
Evan thought for a while and nodded, "Okay! But Isla and Simran have to follow you."
The crew's residence was not in the same place as the hotel prepared by Albert and others.
Both of them have jobs, so they can only part ways here.
Ten minutes later, Evan, who watched Audrey leave, took the car prepared by Albert.
"Gillard, where is the qualifier going?"
As soon as he got into the car, Evan asked.
"Of the 100 preliminaries we have prepared, eighty-two have finished the game, and the remaining eighteen will end tomorrow."
"The next thing you want to participate in the finals is to participate in the live New York competition three days later."
Evan nodded slightly, then asked, "My mother and the others will arrive tomorrow, right?"
"That's right!"
Nina was taking Robert and her twins on the train to New York at this time. The reason they came to New York was because Robert was one of the finalists.
