Chapter 529: Pick-up on the street corner
Chapter 529 Pick-up on the Street Corner
There is another update today, and the red sausage is being written.
In an inconspicuous position in the crowd, a Chinese man about thirty years old held a folded 4 printer paper with the words "Welcome Chinese guests watching the ship" written in Chinese.
The reason why the above text is described as "blunt" is because the sentence is a little awkward, and on the other hand, because the font is a little weird, and the Chinese characters are still traditional and the structure is nondescript.
"Guests watching the boat? How reminds me of the 2012 Armageddon Ferry ticket is coming, haha. Zhao Yu, who was a little arrogant, laughed.
Wang Zhuo smiled lightly and shook his head, he was scanning all the pick-up notices at the same time with his ability, but he didn't expect Zhao Yu to be lucky, his eyes were also sharp, and he found the pick-up person at once.
Everyone laughed and walked over to the little man, who was waiting to pick up someone, and when he saw five Chinese men coming over, he immediately knew that this was the main man he was going to pick up, and he smiled politely, and nodded his head slightly.
Wang Zhuo was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized, it turned out that this was a Japanese, no wonder the stop sign was a little awkward!
Because of his work, he has dealt with many foreigners, and knows that this is the most common etiquette in the Japanese, and Li Mingxu and the others thought that the other party was more polite, and walked forward with a smile and greeted them in Chinese.
Slightly embarrassed, waiting for a few of them to finish, the Japanese bowed and apologized: "Sao Lei, love Jie Po Nizi......"
Li Mingxu and the others were dumbfounded, and clumsily re-communicated with the Japanese, but not only did they not know spoken English, but they only knew a few words of "Ariado", "Kawaii", "Ya Sell", "Yiku", and "Monkey Ha waist drum until Yi's mother died" and the like, it was really nine tricks to know eight tricks, not a single clue.
After the Japanese man "Hai" for a long time, the two sides understood that there was a serious obstacle to communication! This Japanese person's broken spoken English can only be understood by other Japanese, and the British can understand half of it, and the group from China even speaks English that only they can understand, and even the British can't understand it, and the Japanese can't understand it!
It was Wang Zhuo who wrote a line of English to him in a small notebook first, which broke the communication problem, and the two sides began to communicate in handwritten English like a group of mutes.
It turned out that the Japanese man's name was Teak Ikebana, which he wrote in Chinese for everyone, and he had been working in the United Kingdom for three years for an international travel agency.
As for why the British didn't send someone who could be a translator to pick up the plane, Teak Ikebana's explanation was a matter of funding, because when he was working for the British side in the past, he gave the other party the impression that he was a China expert, so this task was given to him.
Only then did Wang Zhuo and others understand that the British sent a Japanese to pick up the plane because the picture was cheap, and the national pride suddenly arose, seeing that there was no, which shows that the price of hiring a Chinese is more expensive than that of the Japanese!
In fact, it is biased to think so, the actual factor is obviously that the British feel that hiring a Chinese translator is a waste of money and trouble, maybe the Chinese have already prepared their own British pass, and it is more convenient to use a familiar Japanese, so they do it.
But after all, there are not many rational people like Wang Zhuo, military fans are often hot-blooded, to put it bluntly, they are belligerent, and there are naturally not a few who hate Japan and the United States.
Under the guidance of the teak ikebana, the group left the airport, and there was already a MG business car waiting there in the parking lot, the driver was a high-nosed, deep-eyed, blonde and blue-eyed British man, with short hair half an inch long neatly and capablely, and he was born in the military at a glance.
MG business car made Li Mingxu and Kang Yangqiu a little novel, and whispered praise for the reception specifications of the British, but Wang Zhuo and Zhou Jiyuan shook their heads and smiled bitterly, the status of this kind of car in the UK is only slightly stronger than Wuling Hongguang's status in China, and the British Ministry of Defense receives guests like this, it seems that it is really bad money.
Teak Ikebana introduced the driver to Wang Zhuo and others, daring to love this sergeant, an active British Marine soldier, and this sergeant named Stephen explained to Wang Zhuo and others through Teak Ikebana that the British media is a big trouble, so the military had to low-key through the personnel and vehicles of the travel agency to receive guests from China, please Wang Zhuo and others Haihan.
He also took out the relevant documents to show Wang Zhuo, Wang Zhuo symbolically went through the motions, in fact, he had already seen that these two people were not liars, you must know that documents and identities can be forged and disguised, but the conspiracy hidden in his eyes and expressions could not be concealed from his sharp eyes.
Traffic in London is slightly better than in Beijing, but traffic jams are common, and it took nearly an hour for the car to arrive at the four-star hotel where Wang Zhuo and his family were hosted.
Along the way, Zhao Yu and they were already familiar with teak ikebana, and Zhou Jiyuan wrote teak. Tina showed the teak ikebana four words, and the ikebana-kun gave a thumbs up, and then the men laughed tacitly; And the teak flower path wrote the four words of the cherry tree flower road, and then explained it in English, everyone then understood that the father of the old man was a hardcore basketball fan, so he gave his son such a name.
As soon as he put his luggage into the room, an officer in the British royal uniform came to receive him, this small officer named Johnson was a lieutenant, and Wang Zhuo learned from him that the inspection groups from all over the world had arrived, and so far there were three Chinese teams.
As soon as Johnson left, Kang Yangqiu smiled and said, "It's so lively, it's really interesting." β
Zhao Yu asked, "Brother Wang, the other two groups of Chinese are also our competitors, right?" β
Wang Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Maybe there are more than two, but I don't know if there is competition, so I can only see when the time comes." β
The day to see the boat is on the weekend, today is Thursday, and there is still a day and a half to free time. Wang Zhuo gave 300 euros as a tip to the fake China Pass of Teak Ikebana and sent him away.
"It's just a little Japan, so there's no need to tip him." Zhou Jiyuan said a little about this.
Wang Zhuo smiled dumbly, and when he saw that everyone had such expressions, he had to explain with a smile: "You don't want to have such a narrow national mood, okay?" Whether a nation is strong or not depends on its own efforts and not on its attitude towards other peoples, I am stronger than the Japanese, so the Japanese serve me, so I tip him, there is nothing wrong with that, right? β
The four of them looked at each other, Kang Yangqiu was older, and said with a smile: "We think you give a little too much." β
"What is this?" Wang Zhuole waved his hand: "If you don't give more, can it reflect our sense of superiority?" I think it would be worthwhile if two insignificant banknotes could make a Japanese man remember to tell his compatriots about the wealth and generosity of Chinese for decades to come, and if the Japanese could change their views and attitudes toward China and lower their attitude towards their Chinese compatriots. β
Although Li Mingxu is not a hardcore angry youth, he is quite disdainful of Wang Zhuo's statement in his stomach, isn't it because China is rich that he suffered from Japanese aggression, how can this kind of idea be wanted?
Zhao Yu is young, and he admires Wang Zhuo very much, so he immediately accepted Wang Zhuo's statement, praised Brother Wang's wisdom, Kang Yangqiu sighed that this kind of investment can only be done by rich people like Wang Zhuo, Zhou Jiyuan was persuaded by Wang Zhuo, recalling the way he nodded when he got the money just now, and he really had a feeling of being on top.
In short, the five people have their own ideas, and Wang Zhuo does not impose his way of thinking on others, what do the predecessors say, this is called seeking common ground while reserving differences!
After a nap, the group of five went out shopping, the time difference between China and the United Kingdom is not big, a little adjustment before departure, and the jet lag on the plane is reversed, and now it is basically able to adapt. With Wang Zhuo's clairvoyance, coupled with Google Maps' Street View navigation system, he is completely afraid of getting lost.
The scenery and customs of London are full of exotic atmosphere and historical accumulation, the city's long history is incomparable to the capital of New China, although there are no beauties around but only four big men, but Wang Zhuo is still very happy.
After half a day, Li Mingxu and others were surprised to find that Wang Zhuo's ability to accept spoken English was surprisingly strong, and in the evening, he was even able to use fluent spoken English to deal with prostitutes soliciting customers on street corners. The woman accosted me!
And he can also have a simple communication with the clerks of some shops from time to time, and instruct the clerks in the "London accent" English that he has just exercised to deliver the things he bought to the hotel where he stays!
me, isn't it so amazing!
"Brother Wang, you are simply a prodigy who learns foreign languages!" Zhao Yu was extremely envious, and eagerly asked: "Can you teach me?" How can your speaking improve so quickly? β
Wang Zhuo smiled, and said in his heart that his brother had carefully observed the British pronunciation with a perspective eye, and carried out a holographic simulation from the vocal cavity to the mouth, this trick is more effective than the teaching of the most powerful oral teacher, but he can only use it himself, even if he wants to teach you, he can't teach it!
"See what others say, listen more, practice more, and you can do it." He lectured quite godly: "I used to do this when I was learning Jiangzhou dialect, and now it seems that learning foreign languages is also quite effective." β
Li Mingxu, who teaches Chinese, nodded repeatedly: "Jiangzhou dialect is like a duck barking, and it is very difficult to learn." β
As he was talking, a mixed-race woman with big breasts greeted her, the temperature in London at the end of February was not much different from Beijing, but this person was wearing a strong low-cut leather jacket, and the heels were twenty centimeters high. The wandering warbler of the guest.
On the side of the street not far behind her, there were three equally enchanting women standing there, smoking and chatting, while looking this way, obviously wanting to do this single Chinese business, although there are five Chinese and there are only four of them, but this is not a problem at all, is it a big deal to engage in one drag two! roοΌ ~οΌ
