New York, Midtown Manhattan.
Located on central street, 10th Street next to Lincoln tunnel, a brand-new American style building is located here.
Simple to the extreme, the red bricks are stacked together. Facing the main street are two doors made of mahogany, which are inlaid in a round door frame.
On the cuboid column of the door frame, it says: No: 22.
This rather mysterious building has never been opened since it was built, and no one knows what it is used for.
Even the people who live next door are curious about it, because no one has ever seen its owner except for the occasional appearance of servants or vans.
Moreover, its door has not been opened.
It's really mysterious that every time the servant or the goods are moved, they just open the side door in the lane on the right side.
Mid April 1944, today.
This building, which makes everyone passing by feel curious, finally opens the two expensive, noble and mysterious red gates.
The first to appear in front of the door were five steel monsters from the H series of aegis.
It's just that it looks longer and stronger than what's on the market.
A group of well-trained people in black, who just don't look easy to provoke, get out of the car, fish through the gate and disappear.
Soon they reappeared in front of the door. A brand-new red carpet was spread from the inside of the door to the outside of the curb, with gold pillars on both sides and red isolation strips between them.
The men in black stood by the red carpet, in the isolation zone, looking solemn as if they were waiting for something.
Journalists living in New York always have a keen sense of smell like a hound.
At the beginning of this mysterious building, they seemed to have some kind of speculation in their hearts, but they were not sure.
However, when we received the message about No: 22, we still showed that we attached great importance to it.
As a result, no one will be disappointed.
"Oh, my God, that's Andrew Mellon. I saw him in the paper... I knew, God..."
"Astor, it's Jonathan Astor IV. lens, where is the lens?"
"God, John Rockefeller is here. What's going to happen?"
Compared with the surprise of the reporters, the crowd who stopped was more likely to watch the excitement, and vaguely felt that something important was going to happen.
Because in just one hour, 10th Avenue was covered with luxury cars, and police were guiding the vehicles to turn around or make a detour on both sides of the road.
Rolls Royce is the most frequently parked on the road, followed by the H series, which combines safety, performance and comfort.
Finally, there are two Lamborghini vittori v8rs that have attracted countless eyeballs since they came out, even in the dark.
When they saw the L1 license plate on the front of the car, some people remembered the report a few years ago.
"Charlie Lee, that's the Chinese car... So, this is the mysterious Club 22... Yes, it must be."
The people who guessed these jumped up with excitement, as if they had discovered some great secret.
In fact, Li Zi Tao knew nothing about these things, and did not mean to hide them deliberately.
He might be confused to know that someone would be overjoyed to guess that this is club 22.
Didn't the No: 22 on the wall tell them that?
"Andrew."
"Charlie."
"Uncle John, I'm glad to see you in good health."
"Ha ha, you should come to the farm to see me more. The life there is wonderful. It can keep me energetic..."
"Doris, how are you doing?"
"Oh, Juliana, everything's fine. Actually, I've just come back from Hawaii, and the holidays are going to be fun."
"Mary... Sister Mary, I'm here."
"My Little Mary, how long haven't I seen you? Come here quickly."
With the arrival of the guests, the long silent building presents its vitality and brilliance.
Whenever new members arrive, they will take photos in front of the door.
In the future, these photos will be inlaid on both sides of the long Yong corridor as part of club 22's glorious history.
This was planned when it was first built, to make sure there were enough photos to hang.
The whole corridor is made into a deep and long corridor shaped hall, the door of the room is opened on both sides, and the deepest part is a banquet hall which can accommodate 200 people.
The second floor is the same structure, but the banquet hall is missing.
Because the height of the banquet hall is beyond the house itself, the spires emerge with a distinctive Gothic style.
The top three floors are open and open, and can be divided into 62 small private chat areas or important meetings according to different needs.At this time, the entire three floors were arranged as meeting rooms.
In front of the oval table, which is about 100 meters long, there are countless velvet high back chairs, and dozens of chairs with white chair covers are also placed in the back.
It took nearly 2 hours and 40 minutes for the members to enter, to exchange greetings, and then to be invited to sit on the third floor.
"If it had been put in China, it would have been expelled." Li Zitao, who was standing at the head of the speech, looked at the members on both sides with a smile.
He can call everyone's name here, thanks to his strong memory.
It took him half an hour to remember their names, origins and identities to make sure they were not overlooked.
"Club 22 has been established for 15 years, and we have more and more members..."
15 years, what a long number, think back to the idea when the 22nd club was first established, and then look at the crowd at the table.
Li Zitao is proud.
As one of the most influential clubs in America and even in Europe and America, the influence of club No.22 is beyond doubt.
And now, today.
He needs to use the power of the club to leverage more powerful forces.
There are businessmen, politicians, Godfathers and independents.
There are students, educators, mathematicians, artists.
There are engineers, guild representatives, and Charity Foundation presidents.
There are police, soldiers, and
There are too many elites in the industry, but no matter what they do, they have a certain or huge influence in their respective industries.
Club 22 does not accept applications, only actively invites members of the rules, to ensure that they can attract the most desired target.
Since Li Zitao married Mary, few people have refused the invitation of club 22.
Even if the original idea is just a name, pay an additional annual fee to show goodwill.
Now, no doubt, they are happy with their decision.
