Chapter 1058 1057. Features (15)

Potter bought these expensive comics not only for his own collection, but only one of them. Most of them he would use to create gimmicks, and would resell them when he encountered a suitable offer.

In other words, he treats these comics as investments.

After understanding his plan, Li Du was amazed. The United States is worthy of being the global economic center and financial center, and everything can be invested and used to make money.

Because he and Hans had helped him, Potter had a different view of them and regarded them as true friends.

Therefore, after discovering that they did not understand the comic investment industry, I briefly introduced it to them.

Investing in comics to make money is very complicated. After all, it is necessary to take into account the return on investment, which requires attention to the value orientation of comic collections.

"While paying attention to the ideological, artistic, and humorous qualities of the works themselves, we must also place them in the historical background and specific era of the creation of the works, and consider their specific collection significance."

"In addition to the entertainment value, comics also have two major values, namely the value of the times and the value of symbols. This is the key point of comic collection."

"For example, Superman, whose symbolic value lies in creating a new era of heroic comics; such as Captain America, whose symbolic value is the greatest, representing the rise of American culture in the world."

When talking about comics and investment, Porter changed his previous image of a shy and introverted boy, talking freely and freely.

He has been immersed in this aspect for a long time, and now he has opened a comic book store, planning to use this as a starting point, and eventually enter the big-screen animation industry. DC and Marvel are his goals.

Following Potter to understand the industry, Li Du and Hans collected the money, and then prepared to leave.

Li Du meant to fly back to Phoenix quickly, but Hans stopped him and said with a grin: "Wait, we've come to Miami, and we haven't appreciated the culture here yet."

This is quite new, Li Du looked at him suspiciously and said, "Appreciation culture? Is there still a culture of sex here?"

Hanston, who had a wicked smile on his face, couldn't laugh anymore. He stared at Li Du and said, "What do you mean? This is the kind of person I am in your heart?"

Li Du nodded approvingly.

Hans pushed him resentfully, and said, "Don't rush away, there is actually a storage auction here, and I got news that there are good things in this auction."

This is his job, Li Du has nothing to say, he has to stay and participate in the auction.

In addition, Mr. Li is actually not reconciled to leaving like this. He has not tasted the special food of Miami, which is a pity for him, a foodie.

Because of the large number of immigrants, Miami's food features are multi-national. There are authentic Cuban, Haitian, Brazilian and other Latin American restaurants.

Especially the authentic Cuban cuisine, which is rare and cannot be found in Phoenix. Cuban food combines the flavors of the Caribbean, Africa and Latin America to create countless delicious combinations.

The dinner Li Du chose was Cuban cuisine.

Potter learned that they would stay in Miami to participate in the auction, and he warmly invited the group to continue living in the villa, and he also wanted to follow them to the storage auction.

Of course, he didn't want to make a profit, he just wanted to see something new.

However, he usually stays in California mostly, and he doesn't know much about the food and environment in Miami, so it depends on Hans.

Hans shook his head and said: "You are so stupid, this is a good opportunity for you to get closer to your classmate Anna. Go, tell her that you want to entertain us, but she is not familiar with this place, let her host it."

Potter hesitated and said, "But, will this bother her?"

Hans rolled his eyes: "It will be more troublesome to go to bed in the future, so why don't you guys stop going to bed?"

Potter felt embarrassed, and muttered, "Don't say that, Ariana and I are friends, and now there is only pure friendship between us."

Li Du really believed that Ariana was not a very beautiful girl, and Porter definitely did not like her because of her beauty, sexiness or man's desire.

Hans' advice was correct, and Potter called Ariana, who readily agreed and told them to go to a restaurant called 'Italian Latino' for dinner.

For this meeting, Ariana was still dressed in a refreshing manner. She had a gentleness and delicateness that was rare among American girls, and perhaps this moved Potter.

Ariana arrived at the restaurant ahead of time and reserved a seat in the southwest corner of the restaurant. The place is relatively quiet, with large floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the beach and green trees outside.

After the group was seated, Ariana introduced them to the food environment and characteristics of Miami. She obviously did her homework in advance and introduced it as a culture, which is very interesting.

"The restaurant I chose is small, but the reality is that if you want to taste authentic Cuban food, you have to go to a Cuban snack bar." Ariana explained.

Li Du looked around and said, "No, this is great, and the scale is not small."

Ariana inquired about their tastes, and together with Potter took their order.

Li Du chose two large French baguettes, which are not simple breads. They contain ham, roast pork, cheese, mustard and pickles to accompany the meal.

The waiter confirmed again and again: "Do you want two baguettes? Two?"

Li Du nodded, and the waiter continued to confirm: "One baguette weighs five pounds, sir, so are you sure it is two baguettes?"

He nodded again. This is for Godzilla, and the ten-pound bread is at best Godzilla's appetizer and dessert.

Ariana ordered a 'classic ropa-vieja': "It's a hallmark of Cuban cuisine, cooked with chopped steak, tomatoes, and peppers, with fried plantains, black beans, and yellow rice."

Others also ordered a bunch of delicacies such as marinated fried pork, roasted chicken with spiced fruit, Cuban barbecue, red bean rice, Cuban lasagna, and curry goat meat.

Li Du wanted to order a salad, and Ariana smiled and said, "No need, the boss will give us a milky white sand Latin American fruit smoothie, refreshing and appetizing, I think it will satisfy you."

When it was time to serve, Ariana added two more soups, a spicy pumpkin soup and her signature polenta.

Cuban cuisine is unique, and Li Du has never tasted it before.

But it’s not the dishes he cooks himself, he just tastes them. In his heart, the best meals are always made by himself.

The taste of the classic ropa-vieja is quite to his taste. This soup is very thick and full-bodied. There is a hot and sour taste in the soup, which makes people feel very sour and refreshing after drinking.

Li Du used the vegetable soup of this dish to match the red bean and rice, and it was a joy to eat.

Ariana was very enthusiastic, and kept introducing them to the food and beauty of Miami during the dinner. At the end of dinner, she asked, "Do you have any plans for visiting these two days?"

Hans shook his head: "No."

"Then I'll arrange it for you?" Ariana asked kindly.

Hans continued to shake his head: "Thank you, no need, we have some work matters to deal with."

I recommend everyone to listen to a song, it’s so hot, "star-sky", especially the MV made by Station B combined with "Battle of the Five Armies", it’s not bragging, I watched the shell for two hours, and the song looped for a long time, too Bravo!
