Chapter 243: Building a Bridge of Communication
In the context of globalization, people will encounter Chinese and Western cultures in the process of cross-cultural interaction. Globalization has brought new opportunities, but at the same time, globalization has also brought severe challenges, such as the penetration of strong cultures, the collision of Chinese and Western values, and the impact of globalization.
The only way is to seize the opportunity, meet the challenge, and actively integrate into the trend of globalization!
It has to be said that the world is recognizing the "cultural celestial empire" with a more positive attitude. This re-examination of the Celestial Empire culture in the West is not so much out of curiosity as it is about the desire to find a new path in the Celestial Empire culture...
In November in England, it began to rain, and the Boleyn Manor in the rain revealed a freshness as if it had been washed, the trees on the riverside had been half-transformed, and the woods on the hillside had been dyed in color.
In the lavish halls of the castle, the butler Paul is still deeply rooted in the people's hearts, his hair is meticulously combed, the starched snow-white shirt, the crisp waistcoat, the elegant tuxedo and the shiny leather shoes, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching all this, year after year, seeing people walking softly, seeing the bursts of colors in the distance, the crystal lamps have only been on for decades, and some colors are constant.
"Sir, Lord is awake. β
At this time, a maid in a white apron walked quickly to the butler Paul and reported softly.
"Hmm. Butler Paul's somewhat confused eyes suddenly lit up, regained his vigor, shone brightly, and he whispered without looking back, "Is breakfast ready?"
"Yes, sir, it's ready. The maid replied softly.
Paul, the butler, nodded, turned around and walked towards the huge oak staircase with a calm face, and saw that the two maids were already carrying the breakfast plate and the black tea plate, reaching out to take the towel handed by a waiter, putting it on his arm, and elegantly climbing up the stairs.
Paul didn't care about the affairs of his own earl, as a steward of a noble family, this kind of thing is too common, after all, since ancient times, the history of the European aristocracy is actually a YL history, and the alternative history of the European royal family is composed of madmen, fools, and SEQing madness, which is evident.
Although the modern aristocracy has declined, this does not prevent the aristocracy from having qing people, and even countless qing women.
Qing people and Qing women naturally have completely different connotations. In a man's heart, the qing person is the object who loves her but cannot be together, and the qing woman is just the object that satisfies the needs of the shengli.
Qing people are lovers, qing women are money! qing people are soul confidants, qing women are lonely needs...
In Paul's opinion, the butler Paul was not only innocent, but very pleased.
Because in his opinion, whether it is plants, animals or humans, their lives seem to be so colorful, in fact, everything can be boiled down to three things, food, mating and vanity.
What is the meaning of human life?
Whether you admit it or not, you can't escape these three things in your life and all your actions. This is the default setting of all living beings about the meaning of life, and it is also the default setting of human beings.
The three major things of living things, food, mating and vanity, if mating and vanity are removed, and only food is left, then life is really a kind of torment. It's like a computer that has been infected with a virus, even if the power is always on, what's the point?
Knock Knock β
"Enter!"
The butler Paul's originally indifferent face turned into an elegant smile the moment he pushed the door open, looking at Arthur, who was wearing a bathrobe and sitting on the sofa wiping his hair, he bowed slightly and said, "Good morning, Lord." β
"Good morning, Paul. Arthur, who was refreshed and energetic, kept the corners of his mouth raised, smiled and greeted the butler Paul, and looked at the dining cart pushed by the two maids behind him, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I'm really a little hungry." β
"Huh. The butler Paul chuckled, looked at Arthur and smiled, waved his hand to let the maid leave, personally picked up the black tea teapot and brought Arthur a cup of black tea, handed it to Arthur, and said in a low voice: "I wish you a good day!"
"Hehe, thank you for your blessings, Paul, you are always so caring and understanding. Arthur smiled happily and raised his teacup to gesture to the butler Paul, and sighed.
"Please take your time for breakfastβ" Paul the butler smiled and bowed slightly, and turned away, not looking in the direction of the closed bedroom door.
"Click-"
The door closed, Arthur drank all the black tea, stood up with the teacup, put the teacup on the tray of the dining car, pushed the dining cart to the bedroom door, opened the door, and smiled at Jiang Lai, who was fluffy and messy, leaning lazily on the pillow without makeup, and playing with his mobile phone: "It's time to eat!"
"Damn it!"
Jiang Lai threw the phone aside with some annoyance, and then his beautiful eyes widened, and he said to Arthur a little angrily: "What kind of game are you doing, it's too difficult, you always die... β
"Hehe,Okay,I'll tell you.,It's hard to become TAI.,Just play and pass the time.,You'll lose if you're serious.,I'm developing this game.,It's for the nue people.γγγ Well, let's start with a cup of black tea. β
Saying that, Arthur smiled and handed it to Jiang Lai with a cup of black tea, and Jiang Lai took the teacup with some anger, drank all the black tea in the cup, and when he handed the cup back, he looked at Arthur and complained: "People who have played this game will definitely scold the developer, I am sure, because I want to scold people." β
Arthur shrugged his shoulders indifferently, picked up a small dining table from the dining car, opened it, set it up on the tron, and then picked up the breakfast plate and placed it on the table, and removed the stainless steel dinner covers one by one, revealing a rich and colorful breakfast.
Golden omelette, fragrant grilled sausages, roasted tomatoes, oily bacon, roasted mushrooms, burnt toast, croissants, and a large plate of brightly colored fresh fruit and two cups of fragrant coffee.
"Perfect day!"
Looking at the sumptuous breakfast, Jiang Lai, who was a little hungry for a long time, smiled like a crescent moon with a pair of beautiful eyes, reached out and picked up a croissant, tore off a piece, stood with sweet nai cheese, and sent it into the zui.
Arthur smiled and sat aside, handed a pair of chopsticks to Jiang Lai, and said softly: "With you by your side, it is a truly perfect day." β
"Hmph!" Jiang Lai glanced at Arthur with disgust, but the sweet smile on her face still betrayed the joy in her heart.
"Huh. "For Arthur, who has got a big bargain, the current Jiang Lai must be coaxed, after all, for him who has got everything, making the woman who becomes himself happy is the biggest task at present, who suffers and who is happy, Arthur is still a little thirteen.
"Whoaβ"
Arthur closed the newspaper and looked at Jiang Lai, who had been looking for nue with a black line in his head since he finished breakfast, playing "Stupid Bird Flies First" over and over again, his face became more and more ugly, he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, he had to find a topic to distract her, he was really worried that Jiang Lai's mentality would explode if he continued to play like this, and then sprinkled his anger on him.
You must know that the woman who has just lost something important has an extremely MIN temper and mentality, "By the way, dear, I heard you say last night, now the housing price in the magic capital has risen to 20,000 RMB?"
"Smack-"
"Don't play anymore!I'm so angry, broken game-whew-"
Hearing Arthur's question, Jiang Lai first had a black face, threw the phone aside a little frantically again, glared at Arthur fiercely, and then took a deep breath to calm down his anger, and after taking a few sips of coffee, he looked at Arthur who was crying and laughing and replied: "Yes, before I came to the UK, it was only seven or eight thousand one square meters, and now it is twenty thousand, it's crazy." β
"Hehe, the end of the financial crisis, economic recovery, this is normal, not to mention the international metropolis of the magic capital, the price is not high, converted into pounds, it is about 2,000 pounds per square meter, now the average house price in London is more than 4,000 pounds, the house price in the magic capital is really not high, but the increase is indeed very amazing. Arthur squinted his eyes slightly and sighed.
"What, do you want to invest in real estate in the magic capital?" Jiang Lai's beautiful eyes flashed, and she knew the elegance when she heard the song, she was studying for a master's degree in economics, but she was not a vase who didn't understand economics, especially for the little man in front of her, not long ago, she had the feat of buying a hundred properties at once, she didn't think that Arthur would mention the housing prices of the magic capital for no reason.
"Well, I do have this idea, after all, the Celestial Empire Market is the future of the world economy, especially now that I have you, I should make a home in the Demon Capital, what do you say?" Arthur smiled at Jiang Lai.
Jiang Lai glanced at Arthur, but her face was full of happy smiles, her beautiful eyes flashed, for Arthur's thoughts, for her, it was indeed an unexpected surprise, to say, Jiang Lai did not want to become a countess, it was impossible, but she herself did not have the confidence to realize this possibility, but now Arthur said this, so that a little flame began to rekindle.
"Phew, who's yours! Thinking about it, Jiang Lai naturally wouldn't show it, and still said with a smile.
"Hehe, then it's decided, it just so happens that gold has skyrocketed, and more than 80 million US dollars have just been credited, and 20 million yuan will be taken out to speculate in the magic capital. Arthur said lightly.
