Chapter 419 First Arrive in Berlin

?Going abroad is the first time for Li Dong in his past and present lives.

Before going abroad, Li Dong was full of expectations.

But when Shen Qian arranged a group of people to follow him, this sense of expectation was weakened infinitely.

If it weren't for the fact that there were more than 300 million yuan waiting for him to get it back, Li Dong had no intention of going abroad at all.

On July 7th, Li Dong embarked on a journey to Germany.

I diverted from Pingchuan to Beijing, and from Beijing to Germany. In 2006, there was no direct flight from Beijing to Berlin, and I had to transfer in Frankfurt on the way. This was a long journey.

Departing from Pingchuan at 9:00 am, the plane finally landed at Tegel Airport at 2:00 am Beijing time.

During the 15-hour journey, both Li Dong and the energetic Hu Xiaorui were exhausted.

Tegel Airport is not big, and the translator Su Wenhao introduced by Shen Qian is explaining the general situation of the airport to Li Dong.

"Tegel Airport is the busiest of the two commercial airports in Berlin. Its scale is not large, and it is about the same size as an airport in a domestic prefecture-level city. However, Tegel Airport sends more than 10 million passengers every year. ..."

Su Wenhao is not too old, he is only in his early thirties this year.

He is also a gentleman, full of bookishness, of course, he can be regarded as a scholar himself.

Su Wenhao is a teacher in the Foreign Language Department of Jiangbei School of Administration. He is proficient in German and English. He is well-known in the School of Administration, which is why Shen Qian was able to find him.

Jiangbei School of Administration, although it is only a junior college at the level.

But in fact, the School of Administration is a talent reserve for the officialdom. Every year, teachers or students enter the officialdom, and many people in the officialdom enter the academy to study every year.

Being selected by Shen Qian to act as an interpreter for Li Dong, Su Wenhao was both nervous and excited.

Being full of bookishness does not mean that he really has no desires.

From ancient times to the present, what do scholars want most?

Of course it is an official!

Su Wenhao stayed in the School of Administration for five or six years. Every year, he watched his colleagues and students make great achievements. Of course, he also fantasized that he would have such a day.

Now that the opportunity came, how could Su Wenhao not seize it.

After introducing it for a while, seeing Li Dong looking up at the sky, Su Wenhao looked at the sky that had not completely darkened, and quickly explained: "There is a 7-hour time difference between Germany and the capital, although it is already two o'clock in the morning in the capital, in Germany It's actually only around seven o'clock in the afternoon here.

In summer, the days are long, so the sky is not yet dark. "

Li Dong nodded to express his understanding, and Hu Xiaorui, who was beside him, also became more energetic, and asked chirpingly: "Mr. Su, besides watching the World Cup, are there any other interesting places in Berlin?"

Su Wenhao glanced at Hu Xiaorui and Qin Yuhan, thought for a while and introduced: "If Miss Hu and Miss Qin are interested, Friedrichstraße and French Street are more suitable for you."

Then Su Wenhao briefly introduced the situation of the two streets.

There is a famous chocolate world on French Avenue, where you can buy chocolates of various shapes and flavors.

if you like,

You can also choose your own ingredients to customize your favorite chocolate.

And Friedrichstraße is a well-known shopping street in Berlin, where you can buy luxury goods of various world-renowned brands, and there is another advantage here, you will not buy fakes.

Speaking of Germany's crackdown on counterfeiting, Su Wenhao admired it very much.

Li Dong interrupted impatiently: "Which country does not have fake products, it's just a question of more or less. The people in the country are different. There are more than one billion people, and there are always things that cannot be controlled. Germany is only so big and only a few people. Comparing Germany with China is not objective."

Hearing what Li Dong said, Su Wenhao originally wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he stopped talking.

After waiting and chatting for a few days, it didn't take long for the passport to be checked, stamped with the official stamp of the customs, and you can enter the country.

...

outside the airport.

Xu Shengzhe brought Bai Yueqin to pick him up from the airport.

When he saw a large group of people behind Li Dong, Xu Shengzhe couldn't help laughing and said, "I said, Lao Li, can you change your style of local tyrant? If you don't know, you might think that some country's political leaders came to inspect it."

Li Dong smiled and said nothing, and hugged each of them.

Then he introduced Qin Yuhan and said, "This is my girlfriend, Qin Yuhan, who is studying at Beijing University."

Then Li Dong introduced Xu Shengzhe and Bai Yueqin respectively.

As for Hu Xiaorui, I don't need to introduce it. When this girl saw Xu Shengzhe, her face was not her face, her nose was not her nose.

Xu Shengzhe couldn't laugh or cry, and whispered to Li Dong: "Why did you bring this little aunt?"

Li Dong touched his nose and sighed: "You think I'm thinking? Don't mention it. When I came here, I insisted on playing cards with me on the plane. I made a fuss for five or six hours. I was so tired that I could hardly straighten my back."

Xu Shengzhe couldn't help laughing, the two chatted in a low voice for a while, and Bai Yueqin who was next to him also became acquainted with the two women.

Although Bai Yueqin felt a little pity for her best friend, but Bai Yueqin was a smart person, so naturally she would not reveal the slightest displeasure in front of Qin Yuhan.

Knowing that Qin Yuhan was Li Dong's girlfriend, and that Hu Xiaorui was a wealthy daughter, Bai Yueqin was very polite to both of them, and within a few minutes the three of them chatted.

After communicating for a while, Xu Shengzhe said: "I thought there were not many of you, and you only rented a seven-seater car. How about I pick up a group of people back to the hotel first, and pick up the rest later?"

Li Dong waved his hand and said, "No need, the rest will be taken by taxi. Isn't it said that all German taxis are Mercedes-Benz? Let us also experience the charm of Mercedes-Benz taxis."

Xu Shengzhe said with a smile: "This is not a lie. Mercedes-Benz is indeed the mainstream, with some Volkswagen and other brands mixed in, but most of them are E-class. In fact, they are not worth much in Germany."

"It's worthless in Germany, but it's worth a lot in our country."

Li Dong laughed, and then arranged for Su Wenhao to lead Zhou Haidong and the others to take a taxi there.

But when making arrangements, Zhou Haidong was unwilling to live or die and insisted on following Li Dong.

Li Dong couldn't beat him, and Xu Shengzhe rented a seven-seater car, plus Chen Ke and Zhou Haidong, there were exactly seven people, which was enough.

Xu Shengzhe has no objection either. Although Su Wenhao has just come to Germany, he has studied in Germany when he was young, and has often traveled to Germany in recent years, so he is more familiar with this place than Xu Shengzhe.

As soon as Xu Shengzhe reported the name of the hotel, Su Wenhao immediately nodded and said, "I am familiar with the Alderon Hotel. We will wait for you at the hotel entrance when we arrive."

Li Dong smiled and said, "Why are you so sure that you will arrive first?"

Su Wenhao laughed and said, "Mr. Li doesn't understand German taxi drivers. Taking a taxi is always faster than driving by yourself."

Li Dong asked Xu Shengzhe: "Is that so?"

Xu Shengzhe said with a smile: "Probably, but it must be divided into places. Berlin is the capital, and the World Cup finals will be held in two days. There are so many people in the city that taxis dare not drive too fast."

After everyone chatted for a while, Su Wenhao took Zheng Long and the three of them to taxi and left first.

Li Dong and his party got into Xu Shengzhe's rented car, and it wasn't too far from Tegel Airport to the city.

But the short journey also allowed Li Dong to see the difference between domestic and foreign countries.

Not to mention the differences in architectural styles. In Berlin, what Li Dong feels most obvious is the parks and small forests that can be seen everywhere.

Forests, rivers, parks...

If he didn't know that he was in Berlin, Li Dong couldn't believe that this would be the capital of Germany.

Thinking about the capital city, every inch of land is worth every inch of gold!

If they were placed in the capital, these forest parks would have been flattened long ago. How much would it cost to build such a large place into high-rise buildings.

But still the same sentence, the national conditions are different.

There are too many people in the country. A capital city has a permanent population of more than 20 million. This is just a statistical data on paper. In fact, it is almost doubled.

Germany, on the other hand, has a total population of only about 80 million.

With fewer people, the demand for housing is naturally not that great, and people also have this condition to engage in greening.

Xu Shengzhe explained to Li Dong while driving the car: "Berlin is not usually crowded, but now it is almost overcrowded. The 9th is the World Cup final. Now a large number of fans from France and Italy flock to Berlin. In the past two days, there will be a lot of people here. It's a bit messy, so be careful when you go out tomorrow."

"Chaos? Didn't you say that Germany is very orderly?"

"That also counts. It's okay to rely on the police in Berlin to maintain law and order, but not now, because there are too many people. Today is not bad. Wait until tomorrow or two days, and you will know what a crowd is.

Forget it, telling you is playing the piano against the cow. You don't understand the enthusiasm of the fans for the World Cup, you will know the day after tomorrow. "

Li Dong glanced at him, too lazy to answer the topic, and said, "After watching the World Cup on the 9th, I have to go to Switzerland on the 10th. Is there any problem with you?"

"In such a hurry?"

Xu Shengzhe was a little puzzled and said, "Aren't you going to play for a few more days? It's hard to go abroad, and you must visit the scenic spots that you should visit. If you leave on the 10th, you won't be able to visit all the places in the next two days."

"No way, you think I'm so free with you, the company has a lot of things to do, I have to go back as soon as possible."

Xu Shengzhe didn't refute this time, Li Dong was indeed busier than him.

Recently, Yuanfang is a real estate company again, and it is also the era of acquisitions. At this time, Li Dong's ability to take the time to go abroad has already surprised Xu Shengzhe.

After that, everyone stopped talking, but concentrated on browsing the scenery outside the car.

Although the sky is getting darker, Berlin at night is more beautiful.

There were probably too many people in the past two days, and the police couldn't handle it. Li Dong saw many drunkards lying wantonly on both sides of the road along the way.

Of course, it won't be long before the police on duty will take them where they need to go.

Seeing Li Dong staring at these alcoholics, Xu Shengzhe smiled and said, "Don't look at it, the German team lost in the semi-finals two days ago, and these German fans have been so drunk these two days that they are planning to find someone to fight. When they meet these guys, Don't say you're an Italian fan."

Li Dong said lightly: "I'm a Huaxia team fan, so no one will beat me up?"

Everyone in the car burst into laughter, Xu Shengzhe said speechlessly: "Don't be sarcastic, it's not easy for others, let's be considerate to each other."

(To be continued.)
