1057. Feature (1/5)

Porter bought these expensive comics not only for himself, but only for one of them. Most of them were used to create gimmicks and would sell them when they encountered a suitable offer.

In other words, he used these comics as an investment.

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

Because he and Hans helped them, Potter had a different opinion on them and regarded them as true friends.

So, after finding out that they didn’t understand the industry of comic investment, I briefly introduced it to them.

It is very complicated to invest in comics to make money. After all, you have to take into account the return on investment, so you have to pay attention to the value orientation of comic collection.

"While paying attention to the ideological, artistic and humorous nature of the work itself, we must also place it in the historical background and specific era of the work creation, and consider its specific collection significance."

"In addition to entertainment value, comics also have two major values, namely the value of the times and symbolic values, which are the key points of comic collection."

"For example, Superman, his symbolic value lies in the creation of a new era of heroic comics; for example, Captain America, his symbolic value is the greatest, representing the rise of American culture around the world."

When talking about comics and investment, Porter changed his previous image as an introverted and shy boy, talked freely and eased.

He has been immersed in this area for a long time and now he has opened a comic shop, preparing to start from this and eventually enter the big screen animation industry. DC and Marvel are his goals.

Following Porter to learn about the industry, Li Du and Hans collected the money and prepared to leave.

Li Du meant to fly back to Phoenix quickly. Hans stopped him and laughed, "Wait, come to Miami, we have not yet appreciated the culture here."

This is quite fresh. Li Du looked at him suspiciously and said, "Add culture? Is there any sex here to ask for culture?"

Hans, who had a sensation on his face, couldn't laugh anymore. He glared at Li Du and said, "What do you mean? In your heart, I am such a person?"

Li Du nodded deeply with consent.

Hans pushed him angrily and said, "Don't rush to leave first. Actually, there is a warehouse auction here. I got the news that there are good things at this auction."

This is my job, and Li Du has nothing to say, so he must stay and attend the auction.

In addition, Mr. Li was actually not willing to leave like this. He had not tasted Miami's specialty food, which is a pity for him, a foodie.

Because of the many immigrants, Miami's dietary characteristics bring together many national characteristics, with authentic Cuban, Haiti, Brazil and other Latin American cuisine restaurants.

Especially authentic Cuban food, this is rare. It is not eaten in Phoenix. Cuban food combines the flavors of the Caribbean, African and Latin American, creating countless delicious combinations.

Li Du chose Cuban food.

When Porter learned that they were going to stay in Miami for the auction, he enthusiastically invited the group to continue living in the villa, and he also wanted to follow him to attend the storage auction.

Of course, he either wants to make a profit or just wants to see something new.

However, he usually stays in California and does not know the diet and environment of 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 and tell her that you want to entertain us, but you are not familiar with this place, so let her host the event."

Porter hesitated, "But, will this bother her?"

Hans rolled his eyes: "It's even more troublesome to go to bed in the future, so why don't you go to bed?"

Porter was embarrassed and muttered, "Don't say that, Ariana and I are friends, and now we only have a pure friendship."

Li Du really believes in this. Arianna is not a very beautiful girl. Porter likes her because of her beauty, sexiness or a manly desire.

Hans's advice was correct. Porter called Ariana, who agreed happily and told them to go to a restaurant called 'Italian Latin' for dinner.

This time, Ariana still dressed up with a refreshing look. She has the gentleness and delicacy that is rare among American girls. Perhaps this was what touched Porter.

Ariana arrived at the restaurant in advance and booked a seat in the southwest corner of the restaurant. It was relatively quiet, with large floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the beach and trees outside.

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

"The restaurant I chose is not big, but that's the reality. If you want to taste authentic Cuban food, you have to go to the Cuban snack bar." Arianna explained.

Li Du looked around and said, "No, this is great, it's not small."

Ariana asked about their taste and helped them order food with Porter.

Li Du chose two large baguettes, which were not just bread, with ham, roast pork, cheese, and mustard and pickles to serve.

The waiter repeatedly confirmed: "Do you need two sticks of baguettes? Two?"

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

He nodded again, this was prepared for Godzilla, and the ten-pound bread was at most Godzilla's appetizing dessert.

Ariana ordered a 'classic ropa-vieja': "This is the signature of Cuban cuisine, cooked with chopped steak, tomatoes, chili, and served with fried plantains, black beans and yellow rice."

Others also ordered marinated fried pork, grilled chicken with sausage, Cuban barbecue, red bean rice, Cuban wide meat noodles, curry goat meat and other delicacies.

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

When the meal started, Arianna added two more soups, spicy pumpkin soup and signature corn paste.

Cuban cuisine has a unique flavor, and I have never eaten it before.

But he doesn't cook the dishes himself, he just tastes them. In his heart, the best food is always made by himself.

The classic ropa-vieja tastes quite well to his taste. This soup dish is very strong and mellow. There is a sour and spicy flavor in the soup. After drinking it, it makes people feel extremely sour and refreshing.

Li Du used the soup of this dish to pair it with red bean rice, and she had a lot of fun.

Ariana was very enthusiastic and kept introducing them to Miami’s food and scenery during the meal. Finally, she asked after dinner, "Do you have any plans to visit these two days?"

Hans shook his head: "No."

"Then I'll help you with the arrangement?" Ariana asked kindly.

Hans continued to shake his head: "Thank you, no, we have something to deal with at work."
