Chapter 975 Chinese Psychology

After leaving the fashion show hall, the group did not go back to the hotel directly. It was evening when the scenery was the best. A trip to Paris would naturally involve a visit to the Champs-Élysées.

The Champs-Élysées was built in 1616. It was a green boulevard that Queen Marie de Médecins transformed from a swamp in the Louvre into a green boulevard. It is also known as the Boulevard des Reyes.

The name "Champs-Élysées" was given by Mr. Xu Beihong when he was studying in France. The two circular fountains on the street have been preserved to this day, and the construction style imitates the pool style of the St. Petersburg Square in Rome.

At both ends of the Champs-Élysées are some buildings that have experienced the vicissitudes of history. The famous historical site Arc de Triomphe, which is a must-see when traveling to France, is in the center of the Star-shaped Square at the west end of the street.

And this section of the road is concentrated with the exhibition halls of famous car brands such as Air France, Credit Française, and Mercedes-Benz Citroen. In addition, it also brings together famous perfume shops, nightclubs and fast food restaurants, which can be said to be a gathering place for merchants.

The eastern section is dominated by the natural scenery of gardens, birds singing, flowers blooming, and trees shady, and it is adjacent to the Louvre, which is full of artistic atmosphere.

So if you want to take a walk in the evening, you can go to the eastern section. If you want to go shopping, the western section is the first choice. The group got off the bus at the eastern end and walked to the west. The total length of Champs Elysees is about 2 kilometers. When you walk to the western end, you can basically have dinner. Just picked a good restaurant there to taste the local food.

"Do you think they are working normally or working overtime?" Walking on the tree-lined avenue, although it is just sunset now, it is already past six o'clock in the evening in summer. Looking at the busy shop assistants in the shops on both sides of the road, Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking.

Zhou Ya smiled and ignored him, and Zhuo Qing'er rolled her eyes at him directly.

In many movies or TV series in later generations, or when it comes to human rights. "Overtime is illegal in France" or in developed countries in Europe and the United States, overtime is illegal has always been a hot word.

In reality, this is a rumor. As long as they want to get better, whether they are French, German, or even American, they need to work overtime. Moreover, voluntary overtime without overtime pay in China is not uncommon in Europe and the United States. Even this routine was spread to China from these developed countries.

The rumor started because of a report in the French newspaper "Echo", which stated: The latest French labor law stipulates that companies are not allowed to send emails or call employees between 6 pm and 9 am the next day.

In short, employees are not allowed to arrange work after work. As soon as this report came out, it was reprinted by media in various countries. Guangzhou Daily directly reprinted the report with the title "Replying to work emails after get off work is illegal in France".

Later, the French News Network actually refuted the rumor, saying that there is indeed such a document requiring "no work emails or calls to employees between 6 pm and 9 am the next day", but this is not a law.

This document is a "memorandum of understanding" signed by two French trade unions and employers, and it is aimed at engineers and consultants with middle and high-level incomes because they often work overtime.

The so-called memorandum of understanding means that when I have nothing to do, I can forgive you and you don't have to work overtime. When I am busy, you should also forgive me for staying in the company to work overtime.

Even in the later generations, France stipulates that the working hours per week are 35 hours and 7 hours per day. Such an agreement can be passed through labor arbitration, but it is still not a mandatory regulation.

But this explanation did not attract much attention, because the media wants a gimmick. Since the audience has bought their own newspapers, it is a success. As for helping to explain something that affects the sales of their own newspapers, no one will do it unless they are brain-dead.

As for reporting, we must focus on the truth, and media reporters must have their own professional ethics. Haha

So it is true that the French people went on strike to reduce working hours and increase wages and benefits, but if you say that all French people work five days a week, seven hours a day, they are not satisfied with such ease and want to ask for more.

There is no such good thing in the world. Looking at the entire developed countries in Europe and the United States, at most the strength of guaranteeing the rights and interests of workers is different and looks more fair.

It is impossible for everyone to work five days a week and seven hours a day. There are many employees in France who do not have two days off a week, and it is not uncommon to work more than ten hours a day.

Of course, if you want to do a job with two days off a week and work seven hours a day, you can do it if you want, and no one will stop you, but your quality of life will definitely be around the subsistence line. There will be no more income to pay for other consumption.

So the overtime violations in TV dramas or movies, and the various European and American workers who are ignorant of their blessings and protest in various demonstrations are actually bullshit. The principle of more work, more pay is universal in the world. At most, the salary and benefits of locals and foreigners are taken care of, and it is impossible for all to be left alone.

Zhou Ya used to stay in Europe and the United States to take care of business, and she is obviously very clear about this typical situation. Zhuo Qing'er has been running to Paris for the past few years. Although she has not studied it seriously, she has seen many examples with her own eyes and naturally will not fall into it.

"Don't you have a great influence in China? Do you want to popularize these common sense things when you return to China?" Zhuo Qing'er asked tit for tat.

"Even if I tell you this, will anyone believe me? There are many people who say that I can't eat grapes and that grapes are sour. Do you believe it?" Yang Dongxu curled his lips. This kind of thing is obviously thankless.

In fact, such things are not uncommon in China, especially after the country vigorously developed infrastructure in later generations, some foreign counties may not be comparable to the rural areas in China.

But some people don't believe it, and they go abroad to travel one after another. Then they come back and write about it. I don't know if they are afraid that they will feel that they went to a rubbish place to travel and feel that they are rubbish and will be laughed at by people they know. Or they hold the idea that they have been cheated and must cheat others to balance their hearts.

In short, even if they are not happy when traveling abroad, they are full of pretentiousness. It seems that traveling abroad is more meritorious than Tang Seng's journey to the West to obtain scriptures.

"Sister Zhou Ya, do you want to go in and take a look? I'm going to rip someone off today. Every time I invite you to dinner, I go to my own restaurant to treat you. I have never seen such a stingy person." Zhuo Qing'er held Zhou Ya's arm and said to a high-end luxury cosmetics store.

"I'm still feeding my child, I can't use these cosmetics." Zhou Ya smiled.

"Has your brain been rusted by studying design in the past few years? We are husband and wife. The money I save belongs to my wife, and you actually told Zhou Ya that it's wrong for me to save money?" Yang Dongxu looked at Zhuo Qing'er with a little disdain, as if he was looking at a fool.

"You are rusty in the head. You deceived Sister Zhou Ya into marrying you because you pretended too well before, otherwise you would be single for the rest of your life." Zhuo Qing'er glared at Yang Dongxu, which was obviously unreasonable and forced to confront him.

Yang Dongxu rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight back. But the words didn't come out of his mouth. The phone in his pocket rang, and he hung up after seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, ready to argue with Zhuo Qing'er.

But the phone rang again after hanging up.

Hang up again!

Ring again.

"It's not over yet? Who are you?" Yang Dongxu answered the phone.

"This is the French Embassy, ​​you..."

"Oh, got it." Yang Dongxu, who was a little impatient, responded and hung up the phone. After hesitating for two seconds, he did not cover the flip phone, but chose to turn it off.

"What happened just now?" Zhou Ya asked casually while reaching out to wipe Xiao Wenchen's saliva.

"It's the same old routine, a diplomatic protest. It's not this or that?" Yang Dongxu shrugged indifferently.

"Nothing will happen, right?" Zhuo Qing'er looked at Yang Dongxu with some worry.

Although she knew that Yang Dongxu was not a vegetarian, this was abroad after all. The embassy represents the government. Yang Dongxu hung up the phone before the other person finished speaking, which would definitely offend people.

"What's the problem? Don't say that Lima is just a shareholder of Exxon, or his father is a shareholder of Exxon, and he is not even in the top five. Even if Exxon is theirs, I can afford the lawyer's fees for an international lawsuit." Yang Dongxu pouted.

"But the other party is a person of status. Whether this lawsuit is filed in France or in Europe and the United States, the court will definitely be biased." Zhuo Qing'er still couldn't help but worry.

"Hey, it's not in vain to go abroad in the past few years. You even know the ins and outs of this." Yang Dongxu looked at Zhuo Qing'er in surprise.

Zhuo Qing'er was so angry that if Zhou Ya hadn't been in the middle, she would have rushed over and bit Yang Dongxu twice. She was obviously kind-hearted and cared about him, but this bastard was really angry with her.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Seeing Zhuo Qing'er's eyes begin to burn, Yang Dongxu stopped teasing, "You have to believe that the saying 'Money makes the world go round' is true everywhere. The court may be partial to him because of his status, but I have money.

Or I am so poor that I only have money left, and money means good lawyers. In addition, many lawyers are willing to help you fight this kind of international lawsuit, for a chance to become famous overnight. Don't say I am rich, if I don't have money, I can choose from a large group of awesome lawyers for free."

"You speak better than you sing." Zhuo Qing'er snorted unconvinced.

Especially Yang Dongxu's sentence 'I am so poor that I only have money left', which made her want to kick Yang Dongxu a few times. She has never seen such a cocky person. He is so cocky and successful. I really want to hit him.

French Chinese Embassy.

"What's going on? When will the person come?" Seeing his secretary subconsciously put down the phone, the deputy representative of the embassy asked.

"That."

"What trouble did you encounter that prevented you from coming?" The deputy representative frowned. Diplomacy is no small matter, especially in such a foreign country.

"No, he hung up before I finished speaking." The secretary looked sad.

"Then why are you still standing there? Keep calling. Could it be that the signal of your domestic mobile phone is not good in a foreign country, and it was accidentally disconnected?"

"I called!" The other party turned off the phone. "

"There is really a problem with the mobile phone signal." The deputy representative was stunned.

Secretary: "."
