Chen Wen said, "Okay, let's do something." ”

Mark Liang replied, "Okay", took the sugar jar from the cabinet, and added a large spoonful of sugar to Chen Wen.

After eating, it was already half past nine in the evening in Paris.

Chen Wen slept for eight hours on the plane, and the jet lag was quite good. In his senses, it was like getting on the plane at 11 a.m. and getting off the plane at 7 p.m. There is no discomfort from jet lag.

There were four bags of tea in the box, each with half a catty, half a pound each for oolong and half for hairy tips.

Chen Wen asked Mark Liang which one he liked to drink.

Mark Liang said Mao Jian.

Chen Wen asked him to boil the water, open a packet of hair tips and soak it.

After the water was boiled, one person had a glass, and two cups of tea were brewed.

The whole room was filled with the smell of tea.

Drinking tea, Mark Liang's hand holding the cup trembled a little, and his lips trembled and said: "It's been a long time since I've drunk such a good tea from the motherland! Damn, I haven't drunk it in China before!"

Chen Wen took a sip and knew that he had fallen for the guy in the Qin family's tea shop! He asked for two hundred yuan a pound of tea, and the guy took at least four hundred yuan a pound of high-end goods!

The same grade of tea in 2019 is definitely a few thousand yuan a catty!

The guy is so good to Chen Wen, he must have been advised by Qin Yang. Thinking that he couldn't say goodbye to Qin Yang in person before going abroad, Chen Wen felt a sadness in his heart.

Chen Wen said: "You like this tea, right?"

Mark Liang said: "I like it. ”

Chen Wen asked, "Do you know how much money is a catty?"

Mark Liang asked, "How much?"

Chen Wen said: "Six hundred, Huaxia coins!"

Mark Liang's eyes widened: "Oh! Lao Tzu has never drunk such expensive tea in his life! Tea at this price in China can be sold for 1,000 legal dollars a pound in France!"

Chen Wen carried half a catty of tea leaves that had been opened with his hand: "In the next two days, I have something to do, if you can help me do it, this bag of tea will be yours." ”

Ma Liang immediately said: "Mr. Chen, you say, I will definitely help you if you can do it!"

Chen Wen said his appeal: "The day after tomorrow is the race of Formula 1 in Belgium, I want to bet, you take me to do this." ”

Mark Liang asked, "That's it?"

Chen Wen nodded.

Mark Liang thought for a while and replied: "It's not difficult to say this, it's not easy to say, we have to hurry tomorrow." ”

Chen Wen asked, "What do you mean by being in a hurry?"

Mark Liang found a newspaper that published the 1992 season

Information on the Formula 1 race in Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium.

He followed the newspaper and explained to Chen Wen.

The tournament will begin at 2 p.m. on August 30 and the deadline for placing bets is one hour before the match on the day of the event, which is before 1 p.m.

In France, you can't buy this game.

There are also lottery tickets in France, but they are limited to relevant sports competitions in France, such as football leagues at all levels, such as the French chapter of Formula 1, which can be bought. However, foreign competitions are not operated in France.

Moreover, France has strict gambling controls, gambling is strictly prohibited in Paris, and only a few coastal cities in France have casinos. There are sports lottery tickets to buy in casinos. But Mark Liang wasn't sure which coastal city's casinos had F1 projects to invest in.

Chen Wen wanted to buy the upcoming competition in Belgium, and Mark Liang suggested that he simply go to Belgium to buy it.

Mark Liang looked at Chen Wen's passport and visa, Chen Wen got a French visa, and it was a Schengen visa.

The Schengen Agreement was created in 1986, and Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg are the five founding countries of the agreement, and in 1992 these five countries did not need to apply for visas from each other, so Chen Wen could enter Belgium at any time with his French visa. In addition, there are 19 new European countries that have joined Schengen, such as Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Spain, etc., and do not need to apply for additional visas.

It's just that Chen Wen needs to pay attention to two points when entering Belgium. First, it must be reported to the Belgian authorities within 3 days of entering the country. Second, the total number of days Chen Wen's stay in Belgium cannot exceed 30 days within one year of the validity of the visa.

"I just want to buy an F1 ticket, stay for two days and go back to Paris," Chen said. ”

Mark Liang smiled: "Then let's go to Belgium and come back after watching the game, it won't take 3 days." ”

The matter of going to Belgium was settled, and the next thing was Chen Wen's registration and bank card, which had to be done before he went to Belgium, so Mark Liang said that Chen Wen was in a hurry.

Ma Liang gave Chen Wen a list of itineraries.

Early tomorrow morning, I will arrive at the University of Versailles before 8:30 a.m. and complete the registration procedures as soon as possible.

The second step is to go to the Bank of China Paris branch to withdraw money and take out the knife.

The third step is to take the stamped admission invitation letter and go to a local bank in France to apply for a student card, which has a lot of functions, including bank cards, credit cards, temporary ID cards, etc., and all Chen Wen's activities in the future will be related to this card.

The fourth step is to deposit the American knife taken out by the Bank of China into Chen Wen's student card.

Mark Liang also introduced that entering Belgium from France does not require a separate visa, but it does not mean that there is no need to undergo customs security checks, and large amounts of cash are not allowed to be carried. Chen Wen's Paris student card can be used to spend in Belgium.

After these things are done, Mark Liang can drive Chen Wen to Belgium.

The F1 leg will take place in southeastern Belgium, on the Ardennes on the border between the country and Luxembourg. As soon as Chen Wen heard the name of the Ardennes Heights, he had a headache, when World War II was fought there, in the mountains.

Chen Wen only wants to buy lottery tickets, does not want to go to the Ardennes to climb the mountains, he is more interested in the Belgian capital. So Ma Liang agreed to take Chen Wen to Brussels.

Macron expects to arrive in Brussels tomorrow evening. If it goes well, Chen Wen can buy F1 tickets tomorrow night, and at the latest he can buy tickets the morning after tomorrow, that is, on the day of the race.

Chen Wen felt that Mark Liang's ability to act and plan was very good.

Next, the two discussed the cost.

Chen Wen asked Mark Liang how much he earned in a month.

Mark Liang confessed that when he was rich, he could earn 6 or 7 thousand francs a month, and when he was poor, he could only earn 2 or 3 thousand francs a month.

Chen Wen said: "Starting tomorrow, I will pay you 300 francs a day. In addition, I bear all the expenses of this trip to Belgium, including gas, accommodation and food. When I get the F1 race ticket I want, the bag of tea will be yours. We have a temporary employment relationship until I return to France and move into the shared house you are looking for. ”

Mark Liang came to his senses immediately, he was busy tomorrow, he stayed in Belgium for a day the day after tomorrow, and when he came back the day after tomorrow, his labor fee was 900 francs. Take Chen Wen to buy a lottery ticket, and you can get this bag of tea worth 1,000 francs. In addition, he earned 100 francs from Chen Wen today, and he received Chen Wen for 3 days and earned 2,000 francs, which is equivalent to half a month's income for him!

As for being very busy and making money these days, that's his exaggeration. It is now August, and the peak of the centralized registration of international students will be after September 1, and Mark Liang can only usher in the busiest week of work after finishing Chen Wen's affairs.

Mark Liang immediately agreed to Chen Wen's request, and the two discussed that they would get up at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, wash up and have breakfast for half an hour, and rush to Versailles.

The house is a two bedroom with one vacant room. Ma Liang took out the cover from the cabinet and stopped sending Chen Wen to any motel.

Chen Wen asked, "Do I want to give you the money for the house?"

Mark Liang smiled: "Forget it, you don't have to see the outside like this." ”

......

Saturday, August 29th.

I didn't say anything all night, and I got up at dawn, exactly 7 o'clock.

After Chen Wen finished washing, Ma Liang had already made breakfast.

Chen Wen threw 10 francs to Mark Liang, borrowed the phone of his residence, ate bread and fried egg sandwiches, and dialed Su Qianqian's eldest brother.
