(Read 10,000 volumes.) After staying in the friendly and welcoming Rome for two days, Jia Lei reluctantly left this friendly country with his bodyguards and set off for the neighboring Czech Republic of Slovakia.

"They all say that Czech Slovakia is paradise, is it really that good there?" asked Mo Bei curiously while sitting on the train.

"Heaven is indeed heaven! It's just a consumer's paradise. Jia Lei said with a little sympathy.

Before World War II, Czechoslovakia's GDP ranked tenth in the world, far ahead of other countries in Eastern Europe.

"Mobei This is the information of Czech Slovakia, you read it to them, so that you can know in advance about the place we are going to. Jia Lei said.

Then Jia Lei picked out a few pieces of paper from the materials that Wu Tatars had prepared for him in advance and handed them over.

"In 1988, Czechoslovakia's per capita national income was 39,000 kroons.

The average monthly wage for workers in the industrial sector is 3,243 kroons and in the construction sector is 3,443 kroons.

The agricultural sector was 3,163 kroons, and the standard of living of the population was the second highest among the countries of Eastern Europe in the Soviet Union after East Germany. Mo Bei subconsciously took it and read.

"Czech Republic of Slovakia, this country is rich! I remember that the ratio of krona to dollar is about 25:1 now, right?" asked Mo Bei.

"Indeed, the monthly salary of the people of Czechoslovakia is about $1,300, which is six times the average salary of Romania. This can be seen from the following resident consumption report!" Luo Nan also leaned over and glanced at it.

According to the report, the average annual consumption of staple foods by the inhabitants of Czechoslovakia reached the world's advanced level around the 60s.

The per capita consumption index for 1987 was:

87.3 kg of meat, 23.7 kg of fats and oils, 250.4 kg of milk and dairy products, 346 eggs, 37.5 kg of sugar, 74.8 kg of vegetables, 60.4 kg of fruits.

"It's so good! Our family of four can't eat so much good food in a year. Mo Bei said enviously.

"What is food, you look at the following report on consumer durables, those are good things!" Jia Lei couldn't help but say jealously.

"Jia Lei, what are you talking about consumer durables, what is that?" asked Xiang Xi curiously.

"You go and ask Luo Nan and let him translate for you!" Jia Lei said.

According to the data, Czechoslovakia has also entered the world's advanced ranks in the field of consumer durables.

In 1987, Czechoslovakia had 147 washing machines and 118 refrigerators per 100 inhabitants

There are 125 television cameras and 51 cars.

In other words, in Czechoslovakia, every two people have a washing machine, a refrigerator and a television, and an average of five people own a car.

In terms of housing, more than 3 million new housing units were built after liberation, and 62 percent of the residents moved into new homes. In 1984, the per capita housing area in the Czech and Slovak regions was 16 and 17 square metres respectively. Luo Nan translated for the others.

"Do you understand? In Czechoslovakia, almost every household has a television, a refrigerator, and a washing machine, and these things are the so-called consumer durables! In our country, less than half of the families have a television set at home, right? Even fewer have refrigerators and washing machines at the same time, let alone houses and ......cars," Jia Lei squinted his eyes and said.

"Our country is also developing very well, and sooner or later it will be able to catch up...... When the time comes, everyone will have household appliances, houses and cars at home!" said Xiang Xi confidently.

"Well, what you say sounds familiar to me, as if it was sung in a Chinese dream. Jia Lei muttered.

Since Czechoslovakia is a socially righteous country, their education and medical care are almost all free, and on this basis, the per capita income has reached more than 1,000 US dollars, and the employment rate has reached 100 percent.

"But they are so rich, why are they still short of things?" Mo Bei asked.

"According to the distribution of the planned economy of the Soviet Union, the country belongs to the industrial country, Czechoslovakia has a developed industry, mainly the production of machine tools, automobiles, power, chemical and metallurgical equipment and other machine building industries, in addition to steel, chemical, textile, food, wood processing and other sectors, shoemaking and beer brewing industry. Jia Lei said.

In so many of the above industries, the garment manufacturing industry is missing!

"The Czech Republic is so rich, what kind of business can you do there? There's no $20 a motorcycle you can pick up. Mo Bei asked.

"You don't really think of me as a rag collector, do you? In fact, before you came, my main direction of earning money was foreign trade exports, that is, taking domestic things abroad to sell. Jia Lei said.

"Except for you selling down jackets this time, we only saw you collect rags after we came......" Chen Dong followed behind and said with a knife.

"Tiger doesn't threaten you, I'm hellokitty! This time I'm going to Czechoslovakia, and I'm going to see what sells well there." Anyway, our negotiations with other countries cannot be completed in a day or two, and I can just negotiate with them while doing business. I'm going to show you a few dirt buns, my ability to make money!" Jia Lei clenched his fists and said.

"We don't care how much money you make? I just hope you don't mess with anyone this time. Luo Nan said.

"You, you, you! You three wait for me, and I'm going to surprise you. Jia Lei said angrily.

If you're a genius, you're not a troublemaker!

＊＊＊＊

Several people got off the train and were immediately stunned by the bustle of the train station.

Czechoslovakia and the countries of the Soviet Union are completely two painting styles, the people in this country are well-dressed and have bright makeup, Jia Lei thought he was back in Germany for a while.

This kind of inconsistency probably comes from the clothes worn by people on the street, Jia Lei thinks these clothes are very familiar, he seems to have seen them in Berlin in the spring.

"Boss, where are we going now?" asked Mo Bei.

"Don't you have to set up a stall this time?" asked Xiang Xiya.

There are not many Chinese people here, and there is no place to set up a stall at the station, so let's go to the door to find a taxi and ask them about the news. Jia Lei glanced at the surrounding environment and said.

It was probably only in 1992 that there was a large influx of Chinese people into Czechoslovakia, and there were not many Chinese on the streets of Prague at this time.

Taxi drivers have always been one of the most well-informed people in a city, and Jia Lei and they made two taxis to cross-check the news, so as to ensure the authenticity of the news.

"Hello, our first time in Prague, can you recommend us a place to stay?" Jia Lei asked in English.

“pot?ebuji hotel？.” The driver first spoke a word in Czech, and then he saw Jia Lei's blank expression, and immediately changed to English.

“are you goiel?” The driver asked in less proficient English.

"yes!yes!" Jia Lei nodded quickly.

"Are you going to hotel?suites?lodge?restaurant?drinkery?or rummery?" asked the driver, holding a small piece of paper and stumbling in English in Czech.

"Aren't these words all hotels?, why did he ask that?" Jia Lei said puzzled.

"Jia Lei hotel refers to a small hotel, Suites refers to a superior room, Lodge refers to a hotel, Motel refers to a motel, restaurant refers to a restaurant, Drinkery refers to a bar hotel, and Rummery is a star hotel. The charges in these places are different, and the driver may want to ask what kind of room we want to stay in?" Luo Nan explained to Jia Lei.

"Luo Nan, do you actually know Czech? This is great!" Jia Lei said in surprise.

"I'm sorry boss, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you! Although I am fluent in Chinese English, Japanese, Russian, French, and German, I really don't know Czech. Luo Nan shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Oh my God, none of us can speak Czech, what should we do now?" asked Jia Lei with some panic.

"Boss, did you actually know about such an important matter?" Chen Dong asked a little broken.

"Because I spend most of my time dealing with foreigners in English, how do I know that most of the people here in Prague don't know English?" Jia Lei said helplessly.

"So what do we do now?" Mo Bei asked.

"What else can I do? Of course, I went to rummery, at least the customer service staff of the star-rated hotel can speak English!" Jia Lei said helplessly.

"rummery!" Luo Nan immediately confirmed the destination with the driver.

＊＊＊＊

Jia Lei later learned that the official language of Czechoslovakia was Czech.

Other lingua franca languages spoken in the Czech Republic are Slovak, Hungarian, Bulgarian and Czech.

Although there are also a considerable number of people in the Czech Republic who speak English, most of these people are professionals engaged in foreign trade diplomacy, and in the 90s, few ordinary Czechoslovak people knew English.

"Boss, what should we do now?" asked Luo Nan, sitting in the hotel.

"Let the hotel staff help us find a Chinese person to be the translator? I don't want to listen to the translation from Czech to English and then into Chinese ...... now. It's so troublesome!" Jia Lei said irritably.

"Okay! I'll do it. Luo Nan nodded, and went out to communicate with the people in the hotel.

"It's better to find a translator so that we don't have to go through the hassle of gesturing and asking for directions. Xiang Xi said happily.

"When I must find a personal translator who can speak ten foreign languages, no matter which country I go to, there will be no more language problems!" Jia Lei said with an impossible goal for himself.

At this time, Hou Jia Lei was still joking with this future translator, but he didn't know that the translator he was about to meet would make him unable to laugh in the future......

The service of the star-rated hotel is really not boastful, Jia Lei and they had dinner and slept beautifully, and the next morning they met the translator recommended by the hotel for them.

A translator named Tan Hua!

"Hello bosses, the hotel people said that you want to find a Chinese person who is familiar with the local market as a translator, I have been in Czechoslovakia for more than a year, and I am very familiar with the nearby wholesale market and foreign trade companies. It's a pleasure to serve you!" Tan Hua said with a smile.

"Well, I think you have a good personality at first glance, so let's try it first. Jia Lei said while looking at the official media of the New York Times, London Daily, Moscow Daily and People's Daily sent by the hotel.

"Do you have any arrangements for today?" Tan Hua asked cautiously.

"Arrangement, you can take us to the market where the Chinese people set up the most stalls today, we have brought some goods, and we want to sell them in the market. Jia Lei said.

"Are you saying you're going to set up a stall?" Tan Hua asked incredulously.

"That's right, aren't all the Chinese people who come to Prague here to set up stalls?" Mr. Jia said.

"But you don't look like a stall?" Tan Hua said, glancing at the senior suite of the star-rated hotel that Jia Lei had booked.

"That's not what you should ask, you just have to be honest with us as a translator and provide some necessary services! Jia Lei flipped through the newspaper and said.

"Yes, yes! I see. Tan Hua saw that Jia Lei was not very happy, and immediately nodded and said.

For Tan Hua, no matter what Jia Lei and they want to do, they just need to pay.

"Mobei, you go and talk to the people in the hotel, I want all the newspapers in these countries in the past week. Jia Lei said with a frown.

Because cable TV was not popular in recent years, Jia Lei could only receive information from some countries intermittently this week, which was not conducive to Jia Lei's speculation about the development of the situation.

Since Jia Lei has entered the star-rated hotel this time, he must use the service of the star-rated hotel to make up for all the news and newspapers that have been lacking recently.

"When can we leave?" Tan Hua asked.

"There's no hurry, you can tell us about the current situation in Czechoslovakia! Before we came, we heard that there was an uproar for independence here? I want to know what the public security situation is here?" Jia Lei asked.

"Although the Czech Republic and Slovakia are very lively in the parliament, they do not have much influence on the people, and the only place where the trouble is strong now is the border between the two countries. Tan Hua said immediately.

"Oh, are the people here so civilized? You must know that even the streets of Moscow are full of opponents with guns, after all, it is already a battlefield between the two parties in Soviet Russia. Jia Lei said.

"The Czech Republic and Slovakia had just gained independence from the outside world last year, so there was still some compatriot friendship between the two parties at home, and they mainly had differences in their national positions, which had nothing to do with the common people. Tan Hua said.

"I don't care what they do, as long as it's safe! Jia Lei said.

"Got it, boss!" Tan Hua immediately said with a smile.

"By the way, have you eaten? If not, I'll ask them to ask you for breakfast?" Jia Lei asked politely.

"I didn't eat it!" Tan Hua looked at the table wine worth hundreds of euros in Jia Lei's hand, swallowed his saliva and said.

This is a gift specially given to Jia Lei by the hotel as a black card user of Citibank......
