Chapter 1037 Volunteers
Chapter 1017: Volunteers
Monaco, a small country in the Mediterranean, is one of the smallest countries in the world, second only to the Vatican, the capital of religion. The scenery here is beautiful, the climate is pleasant, especially the Mediterranean style, ahem...... It's about a bikini girl who makes people linger, not the top of the head of a greasy old man who doesn't have an inch of grass?
The economy here is dominated by tourism and gambling, and it is one of the three largest gambling cities in the world. Las Vegas in the United States, Macau, and the Principality of Monaco.
As soon as I got off the plane, the local standard company employee who picked him up at the airport sent Jing Jian to the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo. This is one of the top hotels in Monaco, and guests staying in VIP rooms will be able to enter the Casino de Monte-Carlo directly.
Completely different from Las Vegas and Macau, Las Vegas and Las Vegas are very common, no matter how much money you have, no matter how rich or poor you are, you can gamble in them. However, Monte Carlo basically only entertains the rich, needs to pay attention to social etiquette, is a high-end place for people to spend money and have fun, quite a bit of a high-ranking aristocratic style.
In addition, the law here states that ordinary Monegasque citizens are not allowed to enter the casino, and tourists need to buy tickets to visit, and they must not sit in the gambling game without spending a lot of money and planning. This gives the feel of an upscale clubhouse, with the Casino de Monte-Carlo also boasting a ballet and opera house, a nearby triangular plaza with a variety of luxury goods, top-notch shops, clubs, and if you add in the F1 Devil's Circuit, the area is one of the most expensive resorts in the world.
Now that you've been here, you'd definitely want to see it. However, Jing Jian did not forget the biggest task of this trip, to strive for the success of the Beijing Olympic bid, so he decided to go to the temporary office of the Chinese Olympic Bidding Office here first.
Monaco is small and almost accessible on foot. Looking for the address, Jing Jian changed into a more "civilian" costume, and came to the Metropolis Plaza Hotel under the covert protection of several bodyguards.
"Who are you looking for?" asked a middle-aged man inside in Chinese when he knocked on the door.
"Oh, my name is Jing Jian, and I came from China. Just come and ask, do you need help with anything?"
"From China?" The middle-aged man didn't seem to have heard his name, which made Jing Jian a little slanderous, his eldest sister was very ineffective?
"Do you know what we're doing here?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Of course I know, I bid for the Olympics!" Jing Jian was still smiling, and there would definitely be no abnormality on the surface.
"I see, international students, welcome. The middle-aged man suddenly became very enthusiastic, and let Jing Jian enter, "Xiao Li, you go and make arrangements, there is another international student, eh, how are you doing in foreign languages?"
"Hehe, fluent in English, able to listen and speak German, not very good at writing. ”
"I am fluent in English and can be responsible for some translation and distribution of materials. The middle-aged man made arrangements for Jing Jian when he talked to himself, "Xiao Li, come here, arrange this classmate to be a volunteer, and arrange an experienced one to take him." Is there a bareheaded photo? If not, go take a few photos and we'll make you a temporary ID. ”
“?”
Jing Jian thought it was funny, how did he become a volunteer for some reason?
In fact, in this era, those who can go abroad have energy, and there will be no moths at all. There are very few cases of volunteering, mainly because I don't know where to find it, not because there are no enthusiastic people, but the key is that I can't find it or don't know it.
In addition, in the final analysis, this is just a bid for the Olympics, and it is not a struggle with the stick for control of the universe, there will be no spy gate or anything, and no one will sabotage it. The state has very little money and even less foreign exchange, so there are only a few Austrian bidders sent to Monaco, and many of them are sent by diplomatic staff of local embassies and consulates abroad. Therefore, international student volunteers are quite welcome. In fact, they mobilized volunteers among international students.
Anyway, it's nothing, so let's be a volunteer for a few days first! This is not a big deal, and if you misunderstand it unintentionally, can you show your identity and slap your face on the spot? It is nothing more than a few days to quietly explain it to the leaders here, and laugh it off as an interesting matter.
Therefore, Jing Jian followed Xiao Li to the downstairs and found a female student named Yan Jufang.
"Welcome, Xiaojing, our team has grown again. As soon as Yan Jufang saw Jing Jian, she shook hands very warmly. In fact, listening to her introduction, plus Jing Jian, there are only 5 international student volunteers. No wonder it's so enthusiastic, ahem...... Scarcity is expensive!
In fact, such volunteers can't do much of a thing. I can't go to important occasions and I can't see important people, so I just do some errand work and send information on the street to expand my influence. But the effect is almost nil. The voting rights are those members of the Olympic Committee, and it is useless for you to take the big top jump god among the local residents?
However, those international student volunteers are very serious and have a very sacred sense of mission.
"Xiaojing, these things are for you, you may not be used to street propaganda at first, then I will do the propaganda. You have to stuff the information and the national flag and the small flag of the Olympic Committee to those who listen to the propaganda in a timely manner. Be sure to greet them with a smile, be polite if they refuse, and say thank you. We represent the image of the country, and we must not do anything to damage the image!"
"Oooh. Jing Jian still admires Yan Jufang's strong patriotism.
But the whole afternoon of street propaganda gave people the feeling of ...... -- How can I say it? There was a feeling that the hammer had not hit the point at all. Yan Jufang was indeed quite hardworking, running around for publicity, and after a while, she was sweating profusely, but many people were very polite and blessed to leave, and they were not interested in stopping and listening at all. Others, like meeting an insurance salesman, take the initiative to detour away when they see it from afar.
To be honest, there were two people with the best publicity effect that day, and they were able to stay until Yan Jufang finished all the publicity. Both of those were ...... Jing Jian's bodyguards, they stayed nearby for too long, so they were caught by Yan Jufang. I could only helplessly maintain a very stiff smile, and I guess I was still rolling my eyes in my heart: Boss, what do you want to play?
"Xiao Jing, do you feel depressed?" After the end, Yan Jufang took the initiative to invite guests, and the two of them entered a fast food restaurant, "I also know that our role is not very big." But as long as there is a slight chance of success, we have to work hard. But I've heard that we're pretty sure of it this time. When the time comes, we will also be the heroes who won the right to bid for the election, and the motherland and the people will thank us!"
"......" Jing Jian was speechless, looking at Yan Jufang's excited expression, he really didn't know what to say. Historically, this bid has ended in failure. The impact of the previous propaganda and our high expectations eventually led to a great ideological shock to the whole of China.
