The speed of the express train in these years is not high, and this kind of ordinary train is even more outrageously slow, Chen Dahe sat listlessly on the bunk, watching the scenery outside the window slowly regress, it was really unexciting.

Oliver leaned on the window with great interest, his eyes full of curiosity, and his mouth was still muttering, "It turns out that China is like this, and it is completely different from what you see in the library materials." ”

Xiangjiang doesn't mention it, it hasn't been taken back yet, and the deep formation is not counted, Chen Dahe has already introduced it to her, this is just a small place used as a testing ground, and this way Oliver can be regarded as seeing the real appearance of the mainland.

But Chen Dahe said with a smile, "China is indeed like this, but it is not like this." ”

Oliver glanced back at him, "Speak human." ”

Chen Dahe shrugged, put his legs on the bunk, found a comfortable position to lie down, looked out the window opposite and said, "Just like the United States, there are both prosperous New York and pristine and natural Alaska, even in the same state, there are busy cities and comfortable rural areas,"

Before he could finish speaking, Oliver rolled his eyes and said, "It's a little smaller, New York has both Manhattan and Queens, and of course I know the uneven development and geographic diversity." ”

"It's not just that," Chen continued. There is an old saying in China, called five miles of different winds, ten miles of different customs, saying that the living habits of each place are different, but regardless of the southeast, northwest, people, but people have the same moral concept, here, there is not only cultural diversity, all kinds of customs and habits coexist, but also cultural commonality, the people of the whole country abide by the common values, this is the fascinating place of Chinese culture, you take a train, just think to be able to see something, can understand something, it is impossible. ”

Oliver was also a little dumbfounded, of course she knew about the diversity of cultures, but if she couldn't understand it, how could she investigate it.

Chen Dahe turned his head to look at her, "Oliver, I think you're a bit of a bull, you just want to check whether this place has the investment value that an emerging market should have, so you can leave everything else alone, of course, except if you want to travel along the way." ”

Oliver squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at him and said, "You mean, I just need to look at the government and the living conditions of the people here?"

"That's half right," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "you only need to look at the living conditions of the people, as for the rest, that is something that needs to be considered after deciding to invest, after all, unless the political situation is unstable, no government will joke with its own reputation, especially international reputation, and our government, the most important thing is credibility." ”

Oliver nodded thoughtfully, and turned his head to look out the window again, but instead of staring at the scenery, he turned to the pedestrians on the road and the farmers in the fields, as if trying to see in them the characteristics of China.

Oliver didn't make any comments along the way, but would choose a random station, maybe a big station like Changsha, maybe a small station with only one or two people, she would get off the train and stay for a day or two, first, to see the local customs, to observe the local situation on the spot, and secondly, to take a bath and rest, she couldn't stand to make herself dirty, and there was no such condition on the train.

When Oss was in a metropolis like Guangzhou, he couldn't escape the fate of being watched, and now Oliver went to such a small place, and it was strange that he went out so undisguised and did not cause a sensation. For this reason, Chen Dahe specially found a huge hat for her to wear, and hung a layer of black veil on the brim of her hat, and changed her into the common blue cloth clothes here, looking like a Chinese girl, walking in the crowd wearing straw hats, but not so conspicuous.

After more than ten days of stop-and-go along the way, the time had already entered July, and they could only reach Hankow.

Standing on the Yangtze River Bridge and looking into the distance, Oliver gently held the big-brimmed tourist hat he had just changed, turned his head to look at Chen Dahe and said, "Our journey ends here, tomorrow we will go to the silk artist, and the painting is also very important." ”

Chen Dahe was looking at Ma Jiatong and Zeng Jingshu not far away shouting at the Yangtze River, and when he heard Oliver's words, he immediately turned his head and looked at her in surprise, "Have you had any results from your investigation?"

"Well," Oliver nodded and smiled, "I've seen a lot of people and things along the way, and I've experienced life here in depth, and I feel like I'm about to become a sociologist,"

Then he turned his head and continued to look at the river under his feet, "Most of the people living in this land are poor. Backward, ignorant, many of them don't understand science, don't understand the principles of life, and don't understand what the outside world is like, but they are hardworking and simple, positive and optimistic, abide by their inner morality, full of hope for life, Chen, do you know, they are different from the people I have seen in other poor countries, just like you said, talent is the foundation of all social activities, I think there is no place where people can be more fighting spirit than the people here, in this case, the rest is no longer important, I believe that the future here will be very beautiful。 ”

Chen Dahe grinned, "Oliver, although I agree with your conclusion, what you see is only one aspect, wait a minute, I'll take you to see the others." ”

Oliver looked back at him quizzically, "What?"

"School," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "I look at the present, and by the way, I also look at the future, they all say that education is the future of the nation, and I will take you to see what the future of China looks like." ”

Oliver shrugged, "No need Chen, really, I already agree very much with your judgment on the development of the mainland, and you won this bet." ”

Chen Dahe put his hands in his pockets, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he looked at her solemnly and said, "Oliver, there is no gambling contract, you have your major, I have my judgment, what we have to do is to bridge the differences, form complementarity, and do our common cause better." ”

Oliver looked at him deeply, and only smiled after a while, "Well, we're happy to work together!"

Chen Dahe also smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Happy cooperation!"

He knew in his heart that Oliver's visit to the mainland this time was not only to inspect the market here, but also a personal test for him, maybe this test would not affect their existing cooperation, but it was related to whether Oliver would help him wholeheartedly.

Now it seems that the results are not bad.

Oliver looked at him and grinned, and instead of holding the outstretched right hand, he stepped forward and gave him a hug, and after letting go, he ran to Ma Jiatong and the two girls with a smile.
