Chapter 133: The Magical Power of the East (First Update)

On the plane, Lin Han and Eric Wang chatted from time to time and gradually became acquainted.

I don't know if I don't know, the unstellar old Wang in front of me is actually a deputy director of BHP in Australia.

As one of Australia's largest enterprises, BHP is one of the world's top 50 oil companies with a focus on oil and gas business, and its influence in Australia and Southeast Asia cannot be underestimated.

When the two were talking and laughing, Lao Wang said that after getting off the plane, he would take Lin Han to Daerwen for a turn, and Lin Han gladly accepted it.

After some time, the plane arrived at Darwin International Airport, and the passengers disembarked one after another, leaving the airport and heading for a nearby hotel.

Although Darwin is the capital of Australia's Northern Territory, the total population is only a few hundred thousand, and the population density is still very low, and it often takes a few minutes to meet a few people on the road.

The cars on the road only pass by occasionally, most of them are leisurely and slow, not impatient, and none of the cars run the red light.

The soothing pace of life is arguably one of the biggest advantages of developed countries such as Australia.

The salary and benefits here are very high, if you don't have the ambition, you can start to fight from birth, as long as you don't destroy the social order, there will be no pressure such as going to school, housing, buying a car, etc., and you can live a koala-like life.

Of course, such material conditions have also reduced people's desire to learn to a large extent, which has led to a series of things that are very difficult to understand in the eyes of Chinese people.

For example......

"Hello, please get me two drinks. ”

Lin Han and Lao Wang came to a roadside store and casually pointed to a drink that looked very novel, and spoke Huaxia-flavored English quite smoothly.

The blonde female clerk in her thirties was obviously a little surprised when she looked at the two unfamiliar Asian faces in front of her.

She turned around and grabbed two bottles of drink and said, "That's six dollars." ”

Except for Huaxia, most countries have not yet popularized mobile payment, and Lin Han is not used to using credit cards, so before coming to Australia, he exchanged some Australian dollar banknotes and carried them with him.

He took out two Australian dollars, one for ten dollars and one for one dollar, and handed them to the clerk very casually.

Seeing this scene, Lao Wang on the side almost laughed out loud.

Sure enough, the female clerk looked confused: "Sir, what do you mean by that?

Lin Han was stunned: "Find me five yuan." ”

The female clerk was a little panicked, as if she saw something incredible, and hurriedly took out the calculator and crackled a few times.

"Oh my God, it's really five dollars! This is amazing, is it witchcraft from the East?!"

Seeing the "5" displayed on the calculator, the female clerk looked surprised and excited, just like when Captain Cook first discovered the Australian continent.

In this scene, the second monk Lin Hanzhang was puzzled, and looked at Lao Wang in puzzlement.

Lao Wang smiled and said in Chinese: "Most Australians are very bad at math, so bad that you can't imagine it...... The operation of rounding change is indeed magical to them. ”

This situation is very common in European and American countries, and due to the general lack of attention to basic mathematical knowledge, many foreigners have quite poor mathematical ability.

Moreover, unlike Huaxia, many countries allow various tools, including calculators, to be brought to the exam.

The foundation is not good, and tools such as calculators are also allowed in the exam.

One can imagine how bad their computing power will be in this environment.

The finale problem of the university entrance examination in European and American countries has been complained by Chinese junior high school students about "sending points", which has long been common.

Not long ago, the UK filmed a documentary "Chinese School: Are Our Children Strong Enough", which tells the story of British students who receive various heavy training from Huaxia teachers......

The most important reason why Huaxia has become the biggest beneficiary in the process of globalization is that almost all the people have mastered a relatively solid basic knowledge of arts and sciences and can contribute a very cheap but efficient labor force, thus making Huaxia the "world factory" today.

Of course, although Huaxia has won a complete victory at the public level, in the cutting-edge field, it is still chasing the developed countries of Europe and the United States, and there is still a long way to go.

After the two got the drinks, they continued to walk the streets of Darwin, and Lao Wang was like a tour guide, introducing the local customs.

"By the way, Lin Han, are you planning to buy a house in Australia?" said Lao Wang suddenly.

Lin Han shook his head: "There is no such plan for the time being." ”

"If you're going to buy it, be sure to ask more first. The Chinese are very enthusiastic about buying real estate, which is something that people all over the world know, and many Chinese have been cheated because of this. Lao Wang reminded.

"But I think your English is not bad, so you shouldn't be cheated. ”

Lin Han thought for a while: "How about the house prices here in Darwin?"

"It's okay, although it is far less than Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places in China, but after all, it is also the capital of the Northern Territory...... Like my villa here, I bought it for $800,000. ”

Lin Han nodded: "What if it's an apartment suite?"

"Look at the place, a better one such as a seaside apartment with a view will cost three or five hundred thousand Australian dollars. If you plan to open a company, ranch, or farm, it is best to buy a house in advance, and it will be much easier to do things after you have a fixed property in your name......"

Not long after leaving, Lao Wang smiled and pointed ahead: "It's here, Gary Vix Hotel." ”

Not far ahead, there was a rather splendid European-style building, with a big sign hanging on the building, which read: Gallyix.

In the vicinity of the Garry Vickers Hotel, there is obviously a lot more people, people come and go, not as deserted as before. In addition, there are many shops and many customers.

Obviously, this is one of Darwin's most prosperous locations.

Just as Lin Han was looking around, there was a burst of laughter not far away, and he didn't feel anything at first.

Soon, however, he was tapped the shoulder.

“Hey!”

Lin Han frowned, and when he turned his head, he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old blonde boy with an explosive head, with freckles on his face, looking at him with a playful expression.

Not far behind him, there were several Australian teenagers of the same age, all around, laughingly pointing, saying strange things and grimacing.

“Chinese!Oh,Chinese!”

“Look,to_real_Chinese!”

After seeing Lin Han's face, the young man's eyes immediately widened, and then he looked at Lao Wang on the side, and immediately shouted and laughed, and turned back to his companion and said.

Lao Wang sighed, came over and said with a Chinese: "Australian specialty, the first of the five evils...... Ignore them, let's go. ”
