Chapter 973: The Psychology of the Chinese People
The group of people who left the fashion show did not go directly back to the hotel, and now it is the best time to visit the Champs-Elysées when they come to Paris.
The Champs-Elysées was founded in 1616 as a boulevard converted by Queen Marie de Médesis into a marshy area of the Louvre.
The translation of the name 'Champs-Elysées' 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 were built in the style of the pools of St. Petersburg Square in Rome.
At both ends of the Champs-Elysées are some buildings that have gone through the vicissitudes of history. The Arc de Triomphe, a must-see historical site in France, is located in the middle of the Place de l'Etoile at the western end of the street.
And this section of the road is concentrated in the showrooms of famous car brands such as Air France, Crédit de France, and Mercedes-Benz Citroën. In addition, there are famous perfume shops, nightclubs and fast food restaurants, so it can be said that there are many merchants.
The eastern section is dominated by the natural scenery of the garden, the birds and flowers are fragrant and the trees are shady, and it is adjacent to the Louvre.
If you want to walk in the evening, you can go to the east end, and if you want to go shopping, the west end is the first choice. The group gets off at the east end and heads west, and the Champs-Elysée is about 2 kilometers long. By the time we walked to the west end, we were basically ready for dinner, and I picked up a nice restaurant over there to try the local cuisine.
"Do you think they're going to work normally now, or are they working overtime?" Walking on the tree-lined avenue, although it is only sunset, the sunset in summer is already past six o'clock in the evening. Looking at the busy clerks in the shops on both sides of the road, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Ya smiled and ignored him, while Zhuo Qing'er gave him a roll of his eyes.
In many movies or TV dramas in later generations, human rights may be mentioned. 'Overtime offense in France' or overtime offense in developed countries in Europe and the United States has always been a hot word.
In fact, this is a rumor, as long as you want to get better, whether it is French, Germans, or even Americans, you need to work overtime, and voluntary overtime without overtime pay in China is not uncommon in European and American countries. Even this routine was transmitted to China from these developed countries.
The rumor was first caused by a report in the French newspaper Les Echos, which said that the latest French labor law stipulates that between 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. the next morning, companies are not allowed to send emails to employees, nor are they allowed to make phone calls to employees.
In short, employees are not allowed to work after work. As soon as this report was reprinted by the media of various countries, Guangzhou Daily directly reprinted the report under the title "It is illegal to return work emails after work in France".
Later, in fact, France News refuted the rumors, saying that there is indeed such a document, which requires that 'between 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. the next morning, no work emails and phone calls are allowed to be sent to employees', but this is not the law.
This document is a 'memorandum of understanding' between two French associations and employers, and is aimed at middle- and high-income engineers and consultants who often work overtime.
And the so-called memorandum of understanding is, that is, when you have nothing to do, I can forgive you that you don't have to work overtime. When you are busy, you should also forgive me for staying in the company and working overtime.
Even in later times, the French set a 35-hour working week, and 7 hours a day. Such an agreement can be arbitrated through labor, but it is still not a mandatory regulation.
But this explanation did not attract too many people's attention, because the media wanted a gimmick, since the audience bought their own newspaper, it was a success, as for helping to explain the things that affect the sales of their own newspapers, as long as they are not brain-dead, they will not do it.
As for reporting to be truthful, journalists must have their own professional ethics...... Hehe......
So it's true that the French are on strike to demand fewer working hours and more wages and benefits, but if you say that all French people work five days a week, seven hours a day, it's not enough to be so relaxed, and you 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 protection of the rights and interests of workers is different, and it seems more fair.
It's not possible for everyone to work seven hours a day, five days a week. Employees who don't have two days off abound in France, and it's not uncommon to work more than ten hours a day.
Of course, if you want to say that I have to do a job with two days off and seven hours a day, no one will stop you if you want to do such a job, but your quality of life will definitely only hover on the subsistence line. There will be no more income to pay for other expenses.
Therefore, the overtime violations played in TV series or movies, all kinds of European and American workers who don't know how to be blessed, and all kinds of demonstrations and protests are actually bullshit. More work and more have to be a common principle all over the world, at most, the locals and foreigners have taken care of the salary, and it is impossible to herd all the sheep.
Zhou Ya has been staying in Europe and the United States to take care of business before, and she is obviously very clear about this model. Zhuo Qinger has also been running to Paris in recent years, although she has not learned about it seriously, but she has seen many examples with her own eyes, and naturally she will not be set.
"Don't you have a lot of influence in China, do you want to go back to China to popularize these common-sense things?" Zhuo Qing'er asked-for-tat.
"Even if I say that someone believes this kind of thing, do you believe that there are people who say that I can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour?" Yang Dongxu pouted, such a thing is obviously thankless.
In fact, such things are not uncommon in China, especially after the country vigorously develops infrastructure in later generations, some foreign counties really do not seem to be comparable to the rural areas in China.
But some people don't believe it, and they travel abroad one after another. Then when I came back, I wrote a lot of books, and I didn't know if I was afraid that I would go to a garbage place and feel rubbish, and I would be ridiculed by people I knew. still hold the idea that he has suffered a loss and has to be fooled, and others will be balanced in his heart.
In short, even if you don't have fun traveling abroad, you are full of force. It seems that a trip abroad is higher than the merit of Tang Seng going to the West to learn scriptures......
"Sister Zhou Ya, do you want to go in and have a look? Every time I invite you to dinner, I go to my own restaurant to invite guests, and I have never seen such a pick. Zhuo Qinger hugged Zhou Ya's arm and said to a high-end luxury cosmetics store.
"I'm still feeding my kids, so I can't use these cosmetics. Zhou Ya smiled.
"Is your brain rusty to learn design in the past few years, the two of us are husband and wife. The money I saved was all my wife's, and you actually said to Zhou Ya that it was wrong for me to save?" Yang Dongxu glanced at Zhuo Qing'er with a little disgust, and his gaze seemed to be looking at a fool.
"You're just getting rusty. You just pretended to be too good before, so you deceived Sister Zhou Ya into getting married, otherwise you would have waited to be a bachelor for the rest of your life. Zhuo Qing'er glared at Yang Dongxu, this was obviously just ignoring it and forcing it.
Yang Dongxu rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to fight back. But the words have not yet been spoken. The mobile phone in his pocket rang, and he hung up directly after seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, ready to argue with Zhuo Qing'er about an ugly one.
But the phone rang again.
Hang up again!
Loud again.
"It's over, isn't it? Who are you?" Yang Dongxu answered the phone.
"This embassy in France, you ......"
"Oh, got it. There was a lot of rambling on the phone, and finally Yang Dongxu, who was a little impatient with listening, answered and hung up the phone directly, hesitated for two seconds and did not cover the flip phone, but directly chose to turn it off.
"What happened just now?" Zhou Ya reached out and wiped a handful of saliva for Xiao Wenchen and asked casually.
"It's an old routine, diplomatic protests. Isn't it this or that?" Yang Dongxu shrugged indifferently.
"There won't be anything, right?" Zhuo Qing'er looked at Yang Dongxu with some concern.
Although I know that Yang Dongxu is not a vegetarian, this is abroad after all. And the embassy represents the government, and people like Yang Dongxu will definitely offend people if they hang up the phone and turn off the phone before they finish speaking.
"What's the problem? Don't say that Rima is only a shareholder of Exxon, or that his father is a shareholder of Exxon, and he is the kind of existence that is not in the top five. Even if Exxon is their family, I can't afford to pay for an international lawsuit. Yang Dongxu pursed his lips.
"But the other party is a person with status, and this lawsuit will definitely be biased in the courts whether it is fought in France or in Europe and the United States. Zhuo Qing'er still couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Shout, I haven't been out of the country in vain in the past few years, and I still know the way here. Yang Dongxu looked at Zhuo Qing'er in surprise.
If it weren't for Zhou Ya in the middle, she would definitely rush over and bite Yang Dongxu twice. He obviously cares about him with good intentions, but this bastard is actually angry with himself.
"Ann, Ann. Seeing that Zhuo Qing'er's eyes began to catch fire, Yang Dongxu stopped teasing, "You have to believe that the phrase 'money can make grinding ghosts' is the truth everywhere." The court may be biased because of his status, but I have money.
Or that I am poor and only have money left, and if I have money, I have good lawyers. Coupled with this kind of international lawsuit, many lawyers want to help you fight and fight for a chance to become famous overnight. Don't say that I have money, I don't have the money to operate properly, and a large group of bull lawyers are free for me to choose. ”
"It's better to say than to sing. Zhuo Qing'er snorted unconvinced.
Especially Yang Dongxu's sentence 'I am poor and only have money left', which made her want to kick Yang Dongxu a few times, she has never seen such a sassy person. It's so successful and so successful, I really want to hit someone.
Embassy of France in China.
"How's it going?when will the people come over?" saw that his secretary subconsciously put down the phone, and the deputy representative of the embassy asked.
"The ......"
"What trouble did you encounter and you can't get over?" the deputy frowned, diplomacy is no small matter, especially in such a foreign country.
"No, I haven't finished yet, he just hung up the phone. The secretary cried with a sad face.
"Then why are you still stunned, keep fighting. Could it be because the domestic mobile phone has a bad signal outside a foreign country and was accidentally disconnected?"
"Hit!" the other party turned off the phone. ”
"It's really a problem with the cell phone signal. The deputy was stunned.
Secretary: "......"
