Chapter 108: Trapeze
Early in the morning, on the shore of the Black Sea, in the presidential suite of the Mankaski Hotel, Gu Kun was draped in a towel blanket and holding a chubby ouzo spirit goblet, standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, watching the broken waves roll.
The waters of the Black Sea are really black, giving the environment an extra layer of solemnity and depth.
Because it is an inland sea almost cut off from the outside world, it is only possible to connect to the Mediterranean Sea through the narrow Bosphorus.
The waters of the Black Sea are hardly exchanged with the Mediterranean, so there are no ocean currents, there is no circulation between surface and deep water, and there is almost no dissolved oxygen and marine life below a depth of a few hundred meters, which is why it is so dark.
Looking at such an oppressive sea, Gu Kun somewhat understood how Pushkin's hysterical poet was brewed.
Midrova woke up slowly, she was awakened by a low murmur, and then gently wrapped herself slightly, leaned over from behind, and wrapped around Gu Kun's majestic back.
"I didn't expect you to know a little Russian, were you reciting Pushkin's "To the Sea" just now?" Midlova quietly leaned her hair on Gu Kun's back. His back is very broad and steady, which makes the girl intoxicated.
Compared with the general values brought by the Chinese civilization that "women should like Swen and money", Lucia and Hekland women are obviously more inclined to worship the strong, and of course money is just as important.
"I like the sea, so I can only write this one of Pushkin's poems, and I don't know anything about other Russian. Gu Kun drank half a glass of ouzo in one gulp and replied calmly.
This is not surprising, just like some scumbags with poor English proficiency will also fluently sing a few favorite English songs, which is out of interest.
Gu Kun doesn't like Russian, he just likes Pushkin's "To the Sea".
Midlova took a deep breath and greedily tried to store some more of Gu Kun's masculinity: "You're leaving?
Gu Kun: "I have to go, I still have a few friends to see in China, and I am an international student, and I have to participate in the selection of the World University Games, it is not reasonable to say that I am not obligated - you little slut, you have squeezed me dry in the past few days, if you go to the competition field like a soft-footed shrimp, it will be a shame." ”
Midrova's pretty face flushed, recalling the shamelessness of the past few days, and a sense of happiness spontaneously arose: "Then when will you come again? Do you still need to come?"
"Don't worry, it will come, I may pass by for a few more days in May, and there may be a big business in the second half of the year, I want to stay for a while, and when the time comes, I will take you away." Gu Kun promised very responsibly, and then changed the conversation,
"However, in the past two months, I also have a matter that I want to find someone to help me keep an eye on, if you can handle it, I will let you be my personal assistant in the future. ”
"What's the matter?" Midrova suddenly saw the hope, and her mood perked.
"I studied in Huaxia, and the relevant leaders asked me to find some international students. After I discussed it with them, they were also willing to give priority to the students of Hekland. So I want to set up a scholarship foundation to help you female high school students who have just graduated here to study in Hujiang City, China.
Not all of them are eligible to enter Shanghai and Jiangxi Jiaotong University, because it is also a famous school and needs to be selected. However, as long as their high school grades are okay and their conduct and physical examination can be passed, I can guarantee that they will at least be arranged to go to a slightly worse local school in Hujiang. For example, Hujiang Maritime College, or some universities with strong hotel management majors, such as China Normal University and Shanghai Foreign University.
As long as they go to study in Hujiang and perform well, my foundation can give them a certain amount of subsidies to cover their tuition and living expenses. The conditions are the same as those Xiangjiang and Li Jiapo Scholarship Foundations, just sign a six-year service contract after graduation. After graduation, you will have to work for at least six years for a maritime company and a tourism company in Lanfang. ”
Midlova was slightly surprised by the message conveyed by Gu Kun, so it took a little two minutes to digest it before she fully understood.
The most strange thing for her is that the best school in Huaxia for hotel management majors is why it is a normal university?
But this is the national situation in China, and the top-ranked universities in hotel management and tourism management are either normal universities or foreign language universities.
As for why Gu Kun is obviously just a student of Jiaotong University, and he is friendly with the leaders of Jiaotong University who are in charge of international student work, he can help ECNU and Shanghai and foreign students introduce international students by the way...... Midlova didn't understand that either.
She didn't know how scarce Huaxia University's demand for high-quality international students was in 95, and how difficult it was to improve the degree of internationalization for the sake of international university rankings. Gu Kun introduced that if there were more international students in the past and Jiaotong University could not be used up, those schools that were one or two levels worse than Jiaotong University would be happy to take over.
The Black Crane girls at least have a better cultural quality in the basic course than their African brothers generally, who doesn't want to accept a better source of students.
"Why are you just a girl? you won't be ......" Midlova pondered to the end, and suddenly thought of a not-so-good possibility.
"What do you think! I only want girls, because I don't want to hurt the national feelings of the Chinese people, and I hope that all the international students who have been introduced by me and aided by the foundation will study hard during their college years!
Gu Kun carefully explained his original assumptions and deductions on this aspect of the problem to Midlova.
After listening, Midlova finally understood her husband's distress: "It turns out that there are so many pitfalls to avoid in the cultural tourism industry, it's really not easy." ”
Gu Kun patted his hand back and instructed, "In the past two months, you will help me contact first." By the way, I registered a foreign foundation's office in Hekland, how to get it, all of this will help me out. I'll give you the money.
We don't necessarily have to go to Kyiv in the first year, anyway, there are dozens of people a year, you just need to spend a little publicity money in Kherson and Mykolaiv, and publish some recruitment advertisements, and don't go as far as Crimea and Odessa.
In May, I'm going to have an auction in the Netherlands, and after collecting the money, I'm going to come back here for a few more days to sign the legal paperwork of the admissions agent and meet with the new students to clear their doubts. ”
In the mid-90s, in the name of introducing work, there were many bad people who abducted girls from Black Crane to Western Europe to endure hardships and fall into the fire pit. Gu Kun didn't expect Midlova to help him spend money on advertising in the newspaper to recruit the right person. In the end, you have to show people dry goods.
"Leave this matter to me, I will ask the hotel to apply for unpaid leave in the past two months, and concentrate on helping you pull students, you can rest assured that you can return to China." ”
Gu Kun and Midlova finally had breakfast together, and then returned to China without any worries.
……
Gu Kun did not choose a flight back to Hujiang, but flew directly from Kyiv to Beijing.
Because he called Tang Jia before, he got the news: The domestic qualifiers for the 18th World Universiade this year were held in Beijing and ended in late March.
Coach Chen of the Jiaotong University varsity team is about to take several members of the varsity team to follow other coaches/players participating in the track and field/swimming selection to go to Beijing in advance to adapt to the climate, venue, and final sprint training.
Therefore, Gu Kun went directly to the capital to meet with Coach Chen and go through a supplementary procedure.
In addition, Gu Kun already knew that just after the New Year, an old friend of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs and the section chief of Ma Fengma, whom he met when he was doing foreign trade with China last year, came to him once, and he was not in China at that time.
For this reason, Gu Kun specially called back to China to inquire, and Section Chief Ma has not officially resigned from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Affairs, so he should also be in the capital. Gu Kun went back to the capital just to see him.
After a day of hard work, in the second half of the night on March 8, Gu Kun finally arrived at the Beijing Airport, and then found a hotel near the airport for a night.
The next day, he took a taxi into the city, and on the way, he took his eldest brother and called Chief Ma.
"Chief Ma, I heard that you came to me during the Lantern Festival? I'm really sorry, I was abroad at that time. Yes, I came back today, I just got off the plane in the early morning, I slept for a while, and I immediately thought of looking for you. Have some time for lunch?"
On the other end of the phone, Ma Feng was obviously a little flattered, he didn't expect Gu Kun, such a busy overseas Chinese rich businessman, to be so concerned about his affairs.
Half a month ago, he just casually contacted some friends and didn't expect any help. So he didn't find Gu Kun at that time, and he didn't take it to heart.
Who knew that after Gu Kun returned to China, the first thing he did was to worship back and forth.
"This ...... How embarrassing is this, Gu Sheng must have a lot of important things to deal with, right?"
"If it doesn't exist, then let's have lunch together at the Friendship Hotel, it's decided. Gu Kun didn't give the other party a chance to resign, and directly finalized it.
For Gu Kun, he rested everywhere anyway, so it was only about 10:30 in the morning, and he arrived at the Friendship Hotel early, asked for a booth first, and sat for a while with some coffee and dessert.
It was close to noon, and it was estimated that Ma Feng was about to arrive, so he ordered a table of exquisite delicacies.
Because there are only two people to eat, there are not many dishes, just four dishes and one soup, decent, and cold dishes.
The four hot dishes are Dongpo elbow, Longjing shrimp, called Huazi chicken, kale lily, and the soup is beef soup with Ulva cabbage.
Gu Kun ordered the flavors of Donghai Province, and he could be regarded as taking care of the taste of Ma Feng, a fellow countryman, which was very sincere.
After a while, Ma Feng rode his bicycle to the Friendship Hotel.
"Chief Ma, this way. ”
Ma Feng was still asking for table reservation information at the front desk, so Gu Kun took the initiative to walk over and pull him into a seat, as if the two were very familiar.
After a few words of greeting between the two sides, Gu Kun asked about the reason why Ma Feng was looking for him before.
Ma Feng was a little embarrassed, and said euphemistically: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I want to resign and quit, notify my friends in business, it's a handover." Lest you have any inquiries about foreign trade and economic cooperation in the future, and I don't connect, won't it be delayed? ”
"Section Chief Ma, with all due respect, you are just 30 years old, and you can be a section chief in a ministry of the country, and your career prospects are not bad, are you really willing?" Gu Kun didn't break the other party, pretending to care.
