Gu Kun went to the Netherlands this time, and even went to other European countries after the auction, of course he would not go alone.

First of all, he brought his usual henchman Gao Jianxiong, as well as a technician who had just been dug up.

This newly dug is not a stranger, it is the person in charge of the survey ship, Du Guowei, who has been familiar with Lanfang during the summer vacation.

If it is a few months back, it may be a little difficult for Gu Kun to dig Du Guowei.

Gu Kun is of course able to afford the salary several times higher than that of the Design Institute of Jiaotong University, but he also knows that those technicians pay more attention to whether they can make a name for themselves in the professional direction, not just money.

For those scientific researchers who have ideas and pursuits, if they give him a large sum of money, but in exchange for the direction of his lifelong research and exploration, they are also very likely to be unwilling.

But now, the situation is completely different from a few months ago, because Gu Kun is already a serious alumnus of Jiaotong University, and at first glance, he is sincere in his studies, and his future career will focus on marine engineering.

With such a boss, it is not easy to abandon one's profession.

In addition, Du Guowei has always been a mixed title in the Design Institute of Jiaotong University, and it is very difficult to climb up by relying on the evaluation system within the physique, so he hit it off, and was persuaded by Gu Kun to get it with a temporary monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, and the bonus and others are calculated separately.

The reason why I wanted to take him with me this time to Europe was that Gu Kun valued one of his resumes when he was in the design institute of Jiaotong University - during the summer vacation, the scientific research ship rented by Gu Kun was bought by the design institute of Jiaotong University more than a year ago, and Du Guowei also participated in the inspection and inspection of procurement at that time, so he knew each other and had a bit of old friendship with many business personnel in the relevant shipyards of Heikelan.

Gu Kun just planned to wait for the auction money to be received, and let Du Guowei be a leading stall to go to Heklan to buy and buy, and by the way, evaluate the value and technical quality of the goods to prevent the purchase from being expensive.

This is an era when business information is still relatively closed, and the international procurement of special equipment must be led by someone to take you into that circle. If you don't know a reliable person, you will definitely be closed up with the money to buy it.

In the end, it is estimated that it will be the same as the white-haired old man in "Lord of War" who wanted to rob Yuri's business, and he ran to Hekland with money, but because the Black Kland general "Uncle Dimich" only recognized Yuri, he could only get out of the way.

Outside the fugue, more than a dozen hours of flight passed quickly, and the cabin of the Boeing 747 remembered the music of the wake-up service.

Gu Kun, who slept on the plane, rubbed his eyes, asked for a wet wipe, then ate a snack, and casually asked Du Guowei, who was sitting next to him: "By the way, I heard that you are very good at Russian?"

"Of course, in my generation, the foreign language was mainly Russian, and English was learned later. ”

"Then it's up to you to translate the whole process this time. ”

Go back and give him 5,000 yuan for translation fees and confidentiality fees.

Everyone is doing things that are beneficial to the country, and the interests are the same, and in these aspects, Gu Kun does not have to worry too much about the loyalty and confidentiality of Du Guowei's newly recruited technicians. Du Guowei's discipline inertia that he had formed when he was in his physique was also used by Gu Kun.

The plane landed at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, Gu Kun made a phone call, and Van Birsson's people sent a car to pick it up, and everything was arranged.

Schiphol Airport is located on the southwestern outskirts of Amsterdam, nearly 10 kilometers from the city. The Hague is also 50 km southwest of Amsterdam. So after coming out of the airport, it is much more convenient to go straight to The Hague, only 40 kilometers by car.

In addition, the high-speed road conditions in the Netherlands are second only to Germany, much better than France, and the upper limit is not limited to speed, (even if the German highway is limited to 250 kilometers, ordinary cars are open, stomp on the floor oil, and drive so fast) so 15 minutes to arrive.

Gao Jianxiong is the first time to go abroad, and Du Guowei is also the first time to come to Western Europe, and the two sighed after getting off the car: "Alas, the capital pays attention to the country is developed, and the car is so fast, I thought that The Hague and Amsterdam are two cities, and they have to drive to Gusu with the Hujiang River for so long." ”

"Didn't Du Gong go abroad before?" Gu Kun teased.

Du Guowei lowered his head thoughtfully: "I have only been to Hekland, and before I studied for a doctorate, I followed the leaders of the institute and went to the USSR, which had not yet disintegrated, and it was all about the society paying attention to the country. ”

Gu Kun smiled and said: "Then it's fun this time, follow me, you won't let the brothers suffer, I have to eat and drink spicy, everyone can follow." By the way, Du Gong, Brother Xiong, I remember that you are not married?"

Gao Jianxiong took the lead and sighed with a wry smile: "I have been a soldier for more than ten years, and I just changed jobs this year, where did I get married." ”

"That's just uninhibited, here in the Netherlands, like in Germany, many industries are legal, if you want to experience it, I'm in for a treat. ”

The group said that the driver had sent them to the hotel and completed the check-in procedures. Gu Kun asked for an executive suite by himself, and let the two of them live in a standard room with twin beds.

Then, they went out to experience the Dutch atmosphere.

Before Gu Kun himself came, he had just experienced a gentle village in Kuching, so he was squeezed dry, and he didn't need it very much now, just to take a look.

After Gao Jianxiong and Du Guowei went out for a walk, they didn't seem to do anything.

It should be too timid, I drank some wine and chatted with the woman, and my knowledge increased, and I came back, without spending a few hundred yuan.

Gu Kun took the two of them out for a meal.

"How's it going?, are you comfortable?" At the dinner table, everyone was eating simple and bitter Dutch-style Western food, and Gu Kun asked casually.

When it comes to food, the Dutch are even more exaggerated than the Germans, second only to the Bretanians.

Except for the bread slices such as jam and cream, which are relatively refreshing, the rest are dark dishes.

"When I met a few women, I chatted for a while, but I lost interest, and I felt that they were also quite bitter and hateful. I feel that some parts of the country where capital pays attention to it are really better than us. Gao Jianxiong said indignantly.

"How do you say that?" Gu Kun asked with interest.

Du Guowei coughed lightly and helped explain: "We met two, and they don't look like they are doing this business, and they look ...... No, no. Later, after drinking and chatting, I learned that they were all grassroots clerks in the enterprise, who were laid off and received unemployment insurance money.

But in the Netherlands and Germany, you are eligible for unemployment benefits, and you have to accept a new job from the labour security authorities. But because of this, it is legal to do that in the Netherlands and Germany. Therefore, when a woman is unemployed, when the social security department introduces you to a job, if there is really no other decent job to introduce, it is considered a legitimate job to introduce you to that job.

You can also not accept it, but this is a 'the social security department introduced you to a job and you don't do it', then you can't continue to receive unemployment benefits. It seems that the workplace environment of women in Germany and the Netherlands is very bad, but this is still the equality of men and women in China, and women can hold up half the sky. ”

Gu Kun couldn't help but smile dumbly: "I spent money to make you cool, it's good for you to start social research, and you are still indignant with others, and you have an excess sense of justice, right?"

This is the case in Ashkenazi countries, where the personal income tax is up to 40% for bachelors and up to 75% for married couples. Therefore, even in the worst-case scenario, if the husband and wife have exactly the same income, it is equivalent to paying 37.5% per person, which is lower than the 40% of a bachelor.

To put it bluntly, Germany and the Netherlands are punishing singles financially. In general, the income of husband and wife must be relatively low for the woman, so after the husband's salary is high, 75% of the woman's income is taxed. If a woman does not work, it is a single-worker family, then the family does not have to pay income tax, the state is to encourage one of the husband and wife not to go to work, at home with children, the country's income tax is all supported by the single's tax payment.

It's also an old trick to introduce unemployed women to jobs in that area and make her refuse to work and lose her eligibility for unemployment benefits. ”

"Also...... When I was in the design institute, many female colleagues who liked to talk about the equality of men and women also said that Germany and the Netherlands were very good. Du Guowei was taken aback, and suddenly found that the stalls he heard in China really couldn't be believed, and he still had to go abroad to see it in person.
