Sun Buqi majored in English at university, and every morning he went to the lawn to read English. Spoken English is not bad, at least slightly better than Rebus, who can only say "Are you OK?"

He was accustomed to online shopping in later generations, but unfortunately there were too few goods on the newly-born "Taobao", Jingdong was like a handicraft workshop, eBay, Excellence, Red Kids sold very single things, and Vanke only sold shirts.

EBAY CHINA DOES NOT HAVE THIRD-PARTY TOOLS LIKE ALIPAY, THERE ARE FEW DOMESTIC ITEMS, AND IT IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT TO BUY FOREIGN ITEMS ONLINE. He had no choice but to turn his hopes for CDK to Tom, a foreign teacher.

Tom is an American redneck, and his original name is no longer available. When he arrived in China, he found that the most popular American book was "Uncle Tom's Cabin", and many Chinese directly called Americans "Uncle Sam".

In order to emphasize that he came from the greatest America, he changed his name to Tom in order to distinguish himself from Loser, a "crooked nut" who came to China to pan for gold from poor places such as Canada, South Africa, and New Zealand, who had the same skin color and the same blond hair and blue eyes. As long as someone sees his business card and listens to his self-introduction, they can know his nationality and will look up to him.

After foreign teachers come to China, in order to integrate into Chinese culture, they like to give themselves Chinese names. Tom scoffed at this and ignored the trend, and if anyone asked if it was racism, they would use the word "Tang" as a Chinese surname.

Tom was born in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States, a small town that thrived on coal mining. With President Clinton's "Information Superhighway Program", the United States began an economic policy of developing high technology and deindustrialization. With the rise of shale gas, coal mining towns were gradually abandoned.

Tom had to leave the coal mining town and move to the big city to become a big truck driver. He couldn't stand the pain of driving, and because his hands and feet were not clean, he was fired by the company, entered the integrity blacklist, and had to pan for gold in the emerging Chinese market.

With China's entry into the WTO, the demand for foreign language talents has increased greatly. The state has also implemented a plan to expand the enrollment of universities, and there is an urgent shortage of foreign language teachers, and since 2002, the number of foreign teachers has increased significantly.

China has clear hardware requirements for foreign teachers, and legal work procedures are required, such as work visas, teacher qualification certificates, work permits, etc. TESOL, TEFL and TESL must have one of the three English foreign teacher certificates before they can teach in colleges and universities.

The emerging "Qionghai University" is eager to recruit talents and implements the policy of "reducing talents without sticking to one pattern". Tom didn't have any teaching qualifications, relying on a blonde face and a thick accent of "New York" English, Tom was admitted to the university on the spot, with a salary of $3,000 a month, four times that of his Chinese counterparts!

When Tom started, he stood on the podium and was terrified and didn't know how to teach business English. He had to bring a few examples of nonsense from the English newspapers and BBC news. The students welcomed this teaching method and thought that the teaching content of foreign teachers was novel and not limited to the outdated knowledge in the textbook.

Tom thinks that the students and the school are so cheap, and he looks like he has never seen a hillbilly in the market. He even worsened, he didn't bother to look through the English newspaper of the day, and talked about the "Friends" he just read in class.

Sun Buqi's spoken English is not bad, as the president of the English class in the past, he spoke very actively in class, and he was familiar with the foreign teacher Tom. He contacted the other party in advance and did not visit in person at night.

The price level in Qionghai is extraordinary, at least the fruit transported from the mainland has skyrocketed after crossing a narrow Qiongzhou Strait. In Qilu, you can buy one catty, or even two catties of red Fuji, but after arriving on the island, it becomes five yuan a catty, and any four apples are 20 yuan. The local fruits are so cheap that they are bursting, a large 20-pound banana is only 10 yuan, and the local endemic millet banana with scarce yield is less than a piece of five.

Sun Buqi carried the purchased fruit and knocked on the classroom apartment of the foreign teacher Tom. At the wrong time, the owner may be taking a bath, and there is a panicked sound of movement inside. After checking with the owner for a long time, the door was opened.

In the room, Tom was not alone, but there was also a girl dressed up as a student, who looked very familiar, and should also be a student of this college. The two of them were disheveled, and the room was filled with the smell of hormones, emitting a smell that seemed to be spoiled protein.

Sun Buqi, as a person who came over, of course knew that the two of them must have done something unspeakable. He also complained in his heart that this foreign teacher was unreliable, and he obviously made an appointment with a guest, but he couldn't control his lower body, which was really "taking time to insert a needle".

Although Sun Buqi was embarrassed, he tried his best to pretend that he didn't notice anything unusual, Tom didn't have anything abnormal, maybe he felt that it was a habitual thing, and talked and laughed with Sun Buqi, and the girl deliberately messed up her hair, her long hair covered half of her face, and she looked down at the TV news.

Sun Buqi originally thought that crooked nuts, especially Americans, would not be too careful, and it should be a gesture to help purchase things or virtual goods that do not need to be shipped. The gift he brought was 50 yuan, plus the promised 200 yuan red envelope, which was already more than 20% of the total value of the goods. In foreign countries, the proportion of tips for three meals varies, breakfast is relatively low, and dinner is the most, which accounts for only 20% of the total.

Sun Buqi took into account the tipping habits of the United States, in addition to our domestic habitual hospitality and gifts, but also took into account the habits of foreign countries, and took the initiative to propose a maximum tip of 20%; Tom was still not satisfied, hoping that at least 80% of the total value would be required, otherwise he would not consider this business.

Sun Buqi didn't want to add a large amount of extra expenses, and he brushed the freshman dormitory for a month during the holiday to get a salary of 500 yuan;

Tom sat firmly in Diaoyutai, there were very few people with foreign credit cards on the Qionghai campus, and Sun Buqi did not have many choices. Now it is a buyer's market, how can he easily reduce the price, the service fee of 100 US dollars is the unbreakable floor price!

Tom insisted on $100 and refused to make any concessions, and Sun Buqi didn't want to be a "wronged leader". The two sides could not agree on the "labor fee" and the talks broke up unhappily, but they did not tear their faces apart, leaving an introduction for renegotiations.

The game World of Warcraft is still a few days away, and the CDK does not need to be purchased immediately. Sun Buqi comforted himself, things are not in a hurry, maybe there will be other opportunities. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, not to mention that the difference is more than 600 yuan, which is two months' food money.

After Sun Buqi said goodbye to the master, the girls in the room also left with the trend.

The girl stopped Sun Buqi, who was going downstairs, and pretended to be young and ignorant and innocent, "Senior brother, don't think about it, senior sister and foreign teachers practice speaking." I'm going to take the TOEFL test soon, you may not understand it, the TOEFL requires a lot ......of speaking! I'm not very good at speaking, I can only fly first."

Sun Buqi shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Do you practice "Come on baby", or practice "one library, one library...... Ya Butterfly". It's really none of my business, I'm just a passerby passing by to make soy sauce. ”

The girl's legs are spread apart, and her walk is extremely awkward. She endured the discomfort in her body, took two quick steps, and grabbed Sun Buqi's shirt.

The girl changed her tone of voice and said harshly, "I'm the person you think, what's wrong? Your senior brother has been chasing him for three years, but I haven't given him a good face, I haven't let him hold my hands, and I haven't let him touch my body! Now I'm here to be an American's free **, who makes our men all cheap, who makes the United States full of gold? We work hard in China, and we can't earn 3,000 yuan; even if we brush the dishes in the United States, we can easily get 3,000 ...... Dollars!"

Sun Buqi pulled away the girl's hand and said disgustedly: "Senior brother worships you as a goddess, but you lick the crooked nuts Ding Ding, this is all your private matter, you don't need to show off." The country is built by us, you go abroad to breathe the sweet air of freedom, this is your freedom, just go with confidence. ”

In 2004, China's GDP just surpassed Italy, ranking sixth in the world after the United States, RB, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France. The total economic output is only 16% of that of the United States, which ranks first, and 41% of that of the second place, and the per capita GDP is even more vastly different, and the others are less than a fraction of it.

The largest forum in China, Tianya Forum, some people imagine that our economic aggregate in 2030 may exceed that of neighboring countries. This is just a manifestation of patriotism, a "fantasy" of confidence in the future of the country.

The online gamers replied one-sidedly below the post, "The author's head must have been caught by the door, otherwise why do you keep talking nonsense?" Some netizens personally raised the knife to refute the author's arguments one by one, and used the news they got from my teacher and my friend's uncle to come to the conclusion that "our GDP growth rate is unsustainable and will never exceed that of neighboring countries".

When the girl saw the disdain in Sun Buqi's eyes, she couldn't help but feel anxious. If this matter breaks out, everyone will definitely believe the words of Sun Buqi, the cadre of the student union, and will not believe that he is excellent in character and learning.

Foreign teachers will not have anything to lose, as long as their skin color remains the same and they are still blonde, they can find a job. At most, the other party patted his ass and left, and continued to teach at another university. She may have a demerit from school, or even be expelled.

Senior Sister Chu Chu said pitifully to Sun Buqi: "Senior brother, as long as you don't tell me about tonight's affairs, Senior Sister will let you deal with it at night, this is a treatment that your senior brother does not enjoy......" She licked her lips and unconsciously puffed up her chest.
