Chapter 810: Inharmonious Notes
In the afternoon, Fan Wubing and Shen Ying took advantage of one more day to stay in New Zealand. Just travel on your own and explore the sights of Wellington with your bodyguards.
Wellington is the capital and second largest city in New Zealand. It is a transportation hub between the North and South Islands and the cultural center of New Zealand. Wooden architecture is a major feature of Wellington.
Along the gentle hillside, snow-white wooden houses with colorfully painted roofs are stacked on top of each other, stretching up to the top of the mountain and sliding down to the bustling city center. The largest wooden building in Wellington is the Old Municipal Building. Although it looks like it is built of stone, it is actually an entirely wooden structure and is one of the most magnificent wooden buildings in the world.
Across the street from the Old Municipal Building is the Capitol Building, which looks like a dense honeycomb at first glance. The building consists of three major buildings, including a Gothic library, an English Renaissance-style government hall and a circular office building. The completely different architectural styles make the Capitol a wonderful combination, each with its own charm, but also complementary and integrated into one.
Wellingtonians are always proud to think that they understand the art of living better than other New Zealanders, and they can arrange their lives to be enjoyable all year round. The National Art Gallery and the National Museum collect New Zealand's artistic masterpieces. The orchestra and ballet are based in Wellington, and the New Zealand International Arts Festival is also held here.
The 26-hectare botanical park is full of exotic flowers and plants, including a garden with more than 300 species of roses.
Wellingtonians love coming to the Botanic Gardens. Watch the first tulips of spring bloom and watch the last roses of winter wither. On a sunny summer day, drive along the coastal road and admire the steep cliffs, silent harbors, waves lapping against the rocks, and the sound of the waves unchanged for thousands of years.
When the autumn leaves turn yellow and the breeze is cool, it is a supreme pleasure to watch the sheep grazing in the golden jungles and green fields on the outskirts of Cema City and the bright wild flowers still blooming.
In fact, New Zealand's oldest zoo is also in Wellington, which is a paradise for wildlife. Lions, tigers, zebras, giraffes, chimpanzees and other animals live freely, all thanks to New Zealanders' respect for the concept of protecting nature.
The strong cultural atmosphere makes Wellington's mountains and seas more natural and beautiful, and full of aura.
Fan Wubing, Shen Ying and others took the cable car to the top of the Victoria Peak and had a panoramic view. They saw the city, the bay and the river valley in front of their eyes. They smelled the sea water floating in the wind. They were a little intoxicated. They really wanted to drive a white boat. Sailing boat, sailing away from now on.
"It should be said that it would be more suitable to settle in New Zealand than in Australia." Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying with some emotion.
“Then let’s just build a villa here.
Shen Ying was also very interested and suggested to Fan Wubing, pointing to the beautiful scenery opposite.
"That's not a bad idea." Fan Wubing replied.
New Zealand, of course, has white clouds in the sky, green eyes, and cattle and sheep on the ground. But when you drive on the high roads of New Zealand and see cars passing by carrying speedboats, sampans, fishing rods and other sports equipment along the way, you will realize that this is also a paradise for outdoor sports.
New Zealand, known as the world's number one natural park, has beautiful and unique natural landscapes that self-guided travelers cannot miss. Snow-covered mountains, vast ski resorts, spectacular fjords and glaciers, beautiful subtropical coastal scenery, mysterious temperate rainforests, wonderful volcanoes, soothing hot springs, beautiful lakes and mountains, the fjords and glaciers of the South Island, While walking and stopping, people can appreciate her picturesque, real and illusory beauty.
Wellington's year-round average temperature is not high, but it is also not low. It can be said that it is like spring all year round. The average temperature in summer is about 19 degrees Celsius, while the average temperature in winter is 11 degrees Celsius. The peak tourist season is basically from December to January, which is also the hottest season of the year. It is suitable to wear casual shirts and pants. A small windproof jacket is enough in the morning and evening, and sunglasses are a necessity.
When visiting Wellington, in addition to taking the bus, you can also try taking the cable car. The ancient car body climbs all the way up, first passes through three tunnels, and then climbs to a 160-meter-high hill. The view along the way is breathtaking. After reaching the top of the mountain. Looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the port city. Of course, you can also hop on the city ring bus, which will take you around the city center for just one yuan, which is very cheap.
"It's spring in New Zealand now, and it's the best time to ride a bicycle around." Fan Wubing pointed to Shen Ying.
Shen Ying leaned next to Fan Wubing and said with some emotion, "What I want most is that you ride a bicycle and take me all over the world."
Fan Wubing saw that Shen Ying seemed to be very admiring, so he thought for a moment, then took Shen Ying's hand and walked all the way to the store next to him. Fortunately, everyone here spoke English, so there was no problem in communicating. No matter what the obstacle, the two people chose a pretty good mountain bike inside and rode out.
The shop owner enthusiastically recommended them to the country's famous mountain bike park, where they can ride mountain bikes in the newly regenerated native jungle on top of the top of the mountain.
It should be said that riding a bicycle on a mountain bike trail is quite strenuous. Even with Fan Wuyi's physical strength, he still feels out of breath, which makes him wonder if he has had too much sex recently, which has led to a decrease in physical strength?
All in all, when he reached the top of the mountain, Fan Wubing felt that he had exhausted too much energy and needed to sit down and rest for a while.
Shen Ying was very happy. She took the telescope she brought along and looked around. From time to time, she told Fan Wubing, who was sitting on the grass, what new discoveries she had made.
Fan Wubing sat on the grass with a smile, took out a small silver wine pot filled with Laobai Fenjiu from his arms, and poured a sip into his mouth. The breeze was so refreshing, and with the company of a beautiful woman, who was ready to throw herself into his arms at any time, he felt really relaxed and happy.
The two of them took some food and drinks, ate and walked around, and only went back when night fell.
When they got to the road, Shen Ying smiled and said to Fan Wubing that she was tired all day today. Can she fight another three hundred rounds when she goes back at night?
"You underestimate me! After all, I am also a master of internal martial arts!" Fan Wubing snorted.
"An internal martial arts master is not equal to a master of martial arts in bed." Shen Ying smiled.
The two were talking when they heard a piercing whistle in the distance, and then saw several sports cars rushing past, and the air waves they brought could almost overturn the surrounding grass.
"Damn, so arrogant!" Fan Wubing took Shen Ying to the side to hide.
"Motorcyclists?" Shen Ying asked Fan Wubing uncertainly.
"Probably, probably the international students reported in the media." Fan Wubing saw two more high-end sports cars speeding over in the distance, and they looked like the kind of dandy boys who treated the road as a racetrack.
Last night, when the two were watching the local TV news, there was a program about Chinese students in New Zealand, talking about these motorcyclists running wildly on the road at night.
This year, New Zealand has opened up the number of international students, and many Asian international students, especially those from the mainland, have come to this island country. There are many rich or powerful people who come here to get a diploma. As soon as they arrive on the island, they are greeted by luxury cars, beauties and fine wine, which greatly attracts the attention of local New Zealanders.
In New Zealand, it is no longer news that some Chinese students are crazy about buying luxury cars. When this TV station interviewed local BMW, Porsche and even Mercedes-Benz dealers, they all grinned. A BMW dealer said that these Chinese children only love cars. Several students buy one every two or three months. One child bought a Ferrari convertible sports car and an Audi sports car here in less than a year. A BMW jeep.
What surprised these dealers was the payment method of these Chinese students. They generally don't use credit cards and almost never pay in installments. Once, when the custodian of a young student came to buy a car, he brought a suitcase and said that there was fifteen dollars in cash. The boss was very surprised and asked the two shop assistants in the store to come over to help count the money. Everyone said that this was the most cash they had seen in their lives.
New Zealand is a credit society. Most shopping and business transactions are paid by credit card or bill business. These dealers told the media that they were not in a position to comment on why these children were so rich. That was not their guess. They only thought that these Chinese children were more valuable customers than local high-level successful people.
If this kind of private shopping behavior was not arrogant, it would not be so sensational. The problem is that these good cars are to be driven after they are bought. If they are not driven at full power, they will not be satisfied and the performance of good cars will not be shown. Therefore, in Auckland and other New Zealand university towns with far fewer populations, a group of Chinese rich young men's convoys rushing and rushing has become a common sight. This phenomenon has reached a point of being talked about and the media has paid attention to it recently when a Chinese student's luxury car crushed a New Zealand child to death.
Last night, during an in-depth interview by a Chinese reporter from a TV station, a teenager said in standard Mandarin that they played drag racing through a Chinese website of the students themselves. During the day, drag racing was strictly prohibited, so they posted a message to meet at a certain highway at night.
The TV reporter secretly filmed a car race. In the night, a group of BMWs, Ferraris, and Porsches roared together. The car race started, and two cars drove out in each wave, racing to be the first. But after two minutes, someone on the screen exclaimed that something had happened! The front of a BMW hit the roadside guardrail. Fortunately, no one was injured or killed, and the whole team returned disappointed.
On the way back, the TV reporter asked a foreign student why he bought several cars at a time. He said that he liked every car and couldn't give up any of them. Moreover, many girls who came to New Zealand to study were also very practical. It was much easier to get along with them if they had a good car.
It is said that the Chinese foreign students spent money so lavishly that two types of industries emerged in the local area. One is to "make scores" for foreign students, because these foreign students are sensual, have poor grades, and have a lot of money in their pockets. There are intermediary companies that make scores for them to make money. Through these intermediary companies, the school's grades can be changed from C to A. Of course, the better the grades, the higher the cost, and the more the intermediary companies earn.
If the phenomenon of splitting is not enough to alarm the wealthy parents who send their children abroad, then the next industry that has emerged will make them worried, that is the kidnapping industry targeting these Chinese students. At present, there have been many kidnapping cases targeting Chinese students in New Zealand, but because the ransom was paid quickly, there has been no news of killing the students.
Where do these rich kids get their money from? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are actually very generous and spend money lavishly overseas. There is also a hidden secret. For many wealthy parents of Chinese students studying abroad, in China, those huge sums of money from unknown sources must be hidden and spent in public, but when they go abroad, the emperor is far away and no one cares about anyone else. The children can spend as much as they want and buy as many cars as they want.
Of course, there must be many children whose parents have legitimate sources of income and successful careers.
However, the bosses of these thriving companies should also understand that a family is like a company. Let the children develop the ability to spend money before they learn the ability to make money. It is like starting a company that spends more than it earns. When the capital injected into this company is used up, it is destined to go bankrupt, and their beloved sons' lives will be completely overdrawn.
Compared with the children of many overseas tycoons who mow lawns for their parents to earn pocket money when they were young, and cultivate the educational philosophy of independence, autonomy, courtesy, and good financial management, the rich parents and rich children in the mainland have brought shame to the image of Chinese people in New Zealand and the international community.
It can be said that these rich and nouveau riche are not only condemned by thousands of people in China, but are also increasingly despised by the global normative society overseas, and those luxurious and expensive luxury cars are becoming their despicable signs.
When talking about the kidnapping of Chinese rich children in the TV news, a local Chinese woman in New Zealand looked directly at the camera and said only two words, "You deserve it!"
However, Fan Wubing did not think that he and Shen Ying stayed in New Zealand for such a short time, and they were able to meet the legendary Chinese students racing party by chance. It was really a deep feeling.
Or, the New Zealand government is also very snobbish. As long as someone is willing to spend a lot of gold and US dollars here, they are optimistic. From this perspective, the behavior of these Chinese children is naturally inappropriate, but the New Zealand government's open study abroad system has also objectively contributed to this unhealthy trend.
"No matter where we go, the rich have the final say." Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying.
Before Shen Ying could reply, a yellow Ferrari convertible sports car stopped beside them. A boy with hair dyed like parrot feathers whistled and said, "Beauty, how about taking a ride together?"
