Chapter 639 Red or Blue

In fact, this situation is really not uncommon at all, or it can be said that it is really too common and too common!

Nowadays, the goods in duty-free shops in many countries are not duty-free at all, and the prices sold in airport duty-free shops are more expensive than those of local 'TESCO'! Cosmetics and the like are also better than the prices of duty-free shops! And the reason for this is that they are all aimed at wealthy Chinese tourists.

This Heathrow duty-free shop is not the first, and definitely not the last.

For example, the Kangaroo Country Melbourne Duty Free Shop, only needs to spend more than 79 Australian dollars, and the system will automatically send out a 25% discount coupon, but all the sales staff will not tell the customer, but choose to throw away those coupons themselves. So far, the vast majority of Chinese people who have consumed there do not know the existence of this kind of discount at all.

What Chinese people like to buy most when they go to Kangaroo Country is a variety of health care products, one of which is very famous, and almost 95% of the sales are paid by Chinese people. And the price of this health supplement in duty-free shops is three times higher than the price in local stores!

Almost all of the 'bird's nests' in Thai duty-free shops are made of gum; the jewelry shops of polar bears are not allowed to enter by locals, only Chinese; there are simply many fake cosmetics shops in the plastic surgery country, and they only sell fake goods to Chinese people, and 'Chinese tourists will not complain anyway'; and the natto that cures all kinds of diseases in the Japanese duty-free shops that deceive Chinese tourists is sold to Chinese people.

And the reason why so many Chinese people are fooled and make these duty-free shops so arrogant is also thanks to the enthusiastic and considerate tour guides who bring the tour group.

'Don't buy outside, there is no guarantee of quality outside, there is everything in the duty-free shop。。。。。。 Almost everyone who goes out with a group has heard this sentence, if it is not for the high commission of the duty-free shop, if it is not for the fact that they deliberately conceal those preferential policies, it can really make people believe that they are really for the good of tourists.

Although Xiao Peng said that he was not bad for money, he didn't want to take advantage of people inexplicably, he bought a lot of things in the store, and when it came to 79 pounds, he checked out, took the VIP coupon, and the rest was all 20% off.

Actually, it's interesting to deal with the Maasai people, who don't have the word 'polite' in their dictionary at all. After all, the social structure of the Maasai people is 'I am for everyone, everyone is for me', and all property belongs to the family. It can be regarded as letting her cherish the last good times, after really stepping into a civilized society, she will find that many things are not what she imagined.

She asked for whatever Xiao Peng bought her, and after buying a pack of things, Xiao Peng's phone rang, and Wallis's assistant finally came, it was a tall and burly black handsome guy. Xiao Peng was also worried that he didn't know the Maasai language, but he learned that many people in Wallis's charity fund were from all over Africa, including the Maasai people.

Seeing the fellow countryman, his eyes were full of tears, looking at the chat between Uba Uba and Yoshi, Xiao Peng breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, this time it was a good thing, at least he could sleep soundly.

This assistant is called Wenbaka, and his English name is Yoshi, and he told Xiao Peng that people like Uba Uba don't understand the language now, and they don't understand anything, so they can only arrange to stay in their foundation first, and learn the language by doing chores first.

However, it was not Xiao Peng's turn to worry, and after Xiao Peng said goodbye to the two, he transferred to Manchester.

Tsk, it's exciting to think about, although it's just a project with a tutor and a diploma, but that's also college life!

Manchester is a very different city from London. It is also a proud city. Calling itself the 'Capital of the North'.

It's thought of itself as the Stark family of Winterfell in Game of Thrones, with a location away from King's Landing and an innovative spirit to keep winter coming. Since the Eagle Nation put forward the 'Northern Revitalization Plan', Manchester has taken Liverpool, Newcastle and other northern cities to form a super economy, which is close to the economic scale of London!

As soon as Xiao Peng walked out of the airport with his luggage, he saw a young man with chestnut hair, freckles, and glasses holding up this big sign with his name written on it.

Xiao Peng beckoned to him, but the boy was very cautious, took out a photo and looked at it for a long time before revealing a smile: "Xiao, you are finally here, Professor Clapton has been waiting for you for a long time." To introduce myself, my name is Jamie Calladan and, like you, I am working with Professor Clapton on a research project. "The freckled man introduced himself enthusiastically.

Xiao Peng smiled: "Xiao Peng, it's a pleasure to meet you, Jamie. ”

Jamie looked at Xiao Peng's backpack and wanted to help him pick it up, but when he took it, he found that he couldn't hold it at all. Xiao Peng smiled and put his backpack on his back: "They are all souvenirs from Africa, and some are heavier." ”

Jamie looked at Xiao Peng and sighed: "Your strength is really enough, Professor Clapton said that you are very interested in felines, and you have been engaged in feline research in Africa, and I am glad that you have joined this research project." Let's go, let's go to Professor Clapton's side first. ”

Xiao Peng scratched his head when he heard this, this damn Kevin, how can he brag about himself? I've been playing in Africa, okay? As an honest person, can you tell Jamie, is that all Kevin's nonsense?

So Xiao Peng nodded, it can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to this statement, and it is not wrong to say it, I have such a large South China Tiger Rewilding Reserve in Africa, which can be regarded as a study of felines!

However, Xiao Peng is still very modest: "No way, I have always studied by myself, even if I am from a wild road, I still need a formal recognition." ”

Jamie was stunned for a moment, and reacted after a while: "You mean。。。。。。 Diploma: If you have that ability, what do you want a diploma for?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "No way, in our Huaxia, even if you have great ability, you can't do anything without a diploma, everyone looks at your piece of paper first." ”

Jamie's face was full of doubts: "If you don't understand your country's way of thinking, isn't it more capable?"

"That's the truth, but if you really want everyone to accept it, that's a different story. Xiao Peng sighed. "What's the use of having a diploma in our Huaxia without a diploma? ”

Jamie laughed, "That's a good thing, our professor said that the feline expert who can make Mr. Kevin Richardson say that he is inferior will definitely be a great help to our scientific research project." ”

Xiao Peng was also curious: "What scientific research projects are you engaged in now?"

"Oh, don't you know? Do you know the Scottish wildcat?" asked Jamie.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Oh, of course I know." ”

The most precious cat in the Eagle Country is not the Eagle Country Shorthair or the Scottish Fold Cat, but the Scottish Wildcat.

In fact, this Scottish wildcat looks similar to the stray cats we usually see, except that it is larger than the average domestic cat, and the tail is slightly fluffy, almost no different from the tanuki we usually see. It belongs to a branch of the European wildcat.

But this cat is the most precious cat in the world, not one of them! Well, more precious than the South China tiger.

Because on this planet, there are only about thirty-five such cats left.

The Scottish wildcat used to live throughout the European continent and can be said to be everywhere, but because this cat is completely wild, just like tigers and leopards, and is a very ancient species, older than human existence, it cannot be tamed by humans, and it looks similar to ordinary domestic cats, and it is almost invisible due to hunters' manslaughter.

In addition, this kind of cat will also breed with ordinary domestic cats, resulting in fewer and fewer 'purebred' Scottish wildcats, and it seems that Professor Clapton's research topic this time should be the breeding and breeding of Scottish wildcats.

Tsk, isn't that a problem, isn't it a problem that the Scottish wildcat can't be domesticated?

Well, on the streets of Manchester, you can feel the difference from London every minute.

Jamie didn't drive because Manchester has the most developed public transport network in all of Europe, and wherever you go, you can get there by bus.

The Manchester City and the Londoners are also very different. In London, people are very polite but very cold. The people here, on the other hand, are very impolite but very welcoming.

It has something to do with the fact that Manchester is an industrial city, the children of all rough old workers.

Jamie hadn't spoken to Xiao Peng for a long time, just because Xiao Peng had answered a question incorrectly.

He asked Xiao Peng, "Are you red or blue?"

The red here refers to the 'Red Devils' Manchester United and the 'Blue Moon' Manchester City, you can't dislike football in Manchester, and you can't help but make a choice if you like football here. To pick one between Manchester United and Manchester City. There are only two colors of the city: red and blue!

Xiao Peng is a standard red fan. After all, the earliest CCTV sports broadcast of European football started from the Premier League, and at that time, it was the time when Manchester United dominated Europe, how could Xiao Peng not like Manchester United?

But Jamie, as a native, is a blue fan through and through. As an aside, despite Manchester United's better results, blue is significantly more coloured than red in this city.

Here's a simple example of how hostile the fans of the two clubs are Manchester United and Manchester City. Sun Jihai played for Manchester City that year, while Dong Fangzhuo joined Manchester United a few years later.

They are all Chinese fellows, and they know that Dong Fangzhuo has also come to Manchester, so of course Sun Jihai wants to do his best to be a landlord and invite Dong Fangzhuo to have a meal.

is such a trivial matter that is originally human nature, but it caused an uproar, Sun Jihai almost let the fans smash the car------You are a Manchester City player, how can you mix with Manchester United players?

So to a Manchester City fan claiming to be a Manchester United fan, tsk, Jamie didn't open his mouth to scold him.

As a Chinese, Xiao Peng really can't understand the Eagle people's fanaticism for football.

In fact, the most tragic thing in the world is the Chinese fans, there are really many, many fans in China, but most of them are fans of European and Latin American teams. Every time I have to stay up late to watch a wonderful football game, especially during the World Cup, it is one sleepless night after another。。。。。。

Why don't you watch Huaxia's own football? I was really heartbroken by the national team again and again.

In fact, the fans of Huaxia are really not demanding, you say that Europeans and Americans are strong, so you can't play? OK, you can forgive it!

You say Africans jump fast so you can't kick it? OK, forgive me!

You said that the South Americans have good skills so you can't kick it? OK, you can be forgiven!

You said that people in West Asia are different from each other, so you can't kick it? OK, you can forgive me!

As a football fan, I just hope you can beat the East Asian team that is also yellow, and that's always okay, right?

The result is that we can't kick the plastic surgery country, we can't kick the Japanese country, and these two countries together are not as big as a Chinese province!

Okay, they admit it if they can't kick it, but what is it to draw with Singapore and lose 1:5 to 'Savadika'?

This is also the reason why Chinese fans don't watch Chinese football.

Please, as a fan to watch Chinese football? This is the same as saying that he likes science very much but watches "Approaching Science" every day, which is incomprehensible!

Therefore, the real Chinese fans do not watch the national football team but stay up late to watch the game.

Although Xiao Peng also likes football, but it is not to the point of staying up late to watch football every day, but if he really chooses between Manchester United and Manchester City, it must be Manchester United!

Manchester City's strength began after Abu took over, and what about Manchester United? Xiao Peng grew up watching their balls! You can't lie with your conscience!

I want to watch football in Huaxia, but which team is stronger to broadcast which team's games more. Naturally, Manchester United have a higher appearance rate.

Do you think it's all like you, your grandfather is a Manchester City fan, your father is a Manchester City fan, you are also a Manchester City fan, and your children must be Manchester City fans? How can a Chinese fan be so loyal。。。。。。

But you can't say these things to Jamie, after saying that, he will definitely jump to his feet in anger and say in front of the Eagles fans that you are not loyal to their team?

Phew, Xiao Peng doesn't want to die by himself. Never mind. So be it!

If I knew that when Jamie asked him, he should have replied, "Oh, I don't like football".

If that's the case, he will be disappointed at most, and he will even take Xiao Peng to watch the game, instead of facing each other directly like this.

However, after hearing that Xiao Peng likes Manchester United, Jamie's attitude towards him has obviously changed, just getting out of the car, Jamie took his mobile phone and said coldly to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, you have not applied for a student dormitory, so you can only go to live in a student apartment." ”

Xiao Peng didn't understand the difference between the two, and just wanted to ask what the difference was between the two, only to see a figure flash in front of the two of them.

"Grab 。。。。。。 Rob....... Someone snatched my phone!" Jesse shouted.
