Chapter 113: California Storm Hotel California

Feeling that the youthful atmosphere in front of him was so compelling, Zhao Yili felt a little uncomfortable, but he quickly got used to it.

After all, in Western society, young people are relatively easy to get acquainted with, and they are very precocious in temperament, and the social atmosphere and education system are different, resulting in a very big difference between the East and the West.

Under the leadership of Shirley, the two of them came to the shore of the beach for bathing, and after ordering two large cups of Sile ice at the predetermined position, lying on the beach chair and basking in the sun has become a very comfortable summer and autumn leisure method for two people.

Just when Zhao Yili felt a little bored, he didn't know where Shirley took out a small bag, and took out a Walkman, two tapes, a thick book and an exercise book one after another.

Looking at the continuous taking out of things, Zhao Yili was very surprised, he really didn't figure out that Shirley appeared in a bikini just now, and he didn't see where to get a small bag, scratched his head, and his expression was a little stiff.

Shirley, who stopped applying sunscreen, naughtily stretched out her hand and pointed at Zhao Yili's head, who had a weird face, grinned, and showed one of her eight white and neat teeth, and said with a smile: "Boy, what are you doing with your brains?" I'm bringing you here to take you to learn German, but don't think about it. ”

After a pause, he continued to apply sunscreen to his arm, and said faintly: "However, in order to motivate you, if you have a breakthrough in learning, my sister will still reward you from time to time." ”

After speaking, he pushed a lot of things in front of him to Zhao Yili, and then started with the thickest book, the introductory lesson of German, the afternoon sun is the most vicious, although it is already autumn, but the sun on the west coast is still full of vitality and raging everywhere.

For German, Zhao Yili really doesn't know anything, in his previous life when he was doing automotive research work, he did not communicate with German engineers, but, on the one hand, because German is a small language in the world, German engineers will be English, and German engineers working in China can more or less know some Chinese, so Zhao Yili did not take learning German as a thing when English was still good.

However, the situation is different today. In today's life goal, the automobile industry is the most important one, to improve the management system of the automobile industry under his command, it is necessary to study the German mechanical, electronic and other processes and rigorous work style thoroughly, so even if the scope of application of German is very small, out of Germany, that is, Switzerland and Austria speak more people. I also want to learn German well.

Shirley looked at Zhao Yili, who had a super serious attitude with blazing eyes, and couldn't help nodding secretly, this kind of learning attitude is what she wants to see.

After all, although he is a little more active, but in his homework, he is still very good, German is one of his major languages, although he does not expect to be able to make Zhao Yili speak in this short period of three months, to the point of free communication in German, but when he arrives in Germany, he can understand the teacher's lecture, it is not a big problem.

My language teacher is German, and I teach myself in English. In Shirley's opinion, if there is a certain foundation in English, German is not so difficult to learn.

Shirley retracted her blonde hair that was blown up by the wind, pulled a bun, tied it with a ribbon, looked very capable, and said slowly to Zhao Yili, who seemed to have some difficulty getting started: "There is a big difference between German and English, mainly reflected in grammar. The main reason why German is considered to be difficult to learn is that German has four squares, which is one more than the three in French. That is, the conjugation of verbs, nouns, adjectives in German is more complex than in English and French. But that's the good thing about the German language: because change is dead, as long as we memorize it by rote, and besides, there are many rules to follow in German word formations.

Grammatically, most short sentences have features of English grammar. ”

After that, the recitation of a German free verse began.

Although Zhao Yili couldn't understand the long sentences in German, he suddenly had a feeling that the two sentences just now seemed to be very similar to the grammar of Chinese Chinese! Let Shirley repeat it again, and sure enough, it was!

It seems that from this point of view, German is difficult to get started, but once you get started, it is much easier to learn the kind of language, in this way, Zhao Yili's confidence instantly increased, Shirley looked at the excited Zhao Yili, a little proud, and did not hit him, so he picked up the Walkman, put the earbuds in his ears, and said with a smile: "These tapes, I specially helped you find them, they are all relatively simple German songs, listen to them carefully!" ”

After speaking, he straightened up, ran out with a surfboard, and waved his hand without turning back, while shouting from near and far: "Zhao Shishi, you study hard and go up every day!" Sister go ahead and make a wave first! ”

Zhao Yili shook his head helplessly while listening to the Walkman, "This American crazy girl, sure enough, has a Yanhuang father, even study hard." , every day upward" knows, calm down, concentrate on listening to German songs, and learn.

The first song on the tape was actually the German version of "California Hotel".

The song is arguably the best of the Eagles' best and best combination, and "Hotel California" topped the charts for eight consecutive weeks in 1977, and the special feature of the song is the double guitar effect played by DonFelder and Joe Walsh. Ranked 11th on the list of the 100 greatest English songs by Rolling Stone.

In fact, after the song became popular, many people thought that the California Hotel in the song did exist, and there were three kinds of theories: hotels, drug rehabilitation centers, and mental hospitals.

Anyone who thinks this hotel does exist will find everything they need in the small town of Todos Santos in Southern California. The town is located in the desert of the Southern California Highway, and there is a record cover hotel in the town, and not far from the hotel is a church where bells are heard in the middle of the night.

The owner of the inn claims that this is exactly the "Hotel California" in the song, but in the history of the town, the name change of the hotel did not happen until the 80s, after the song became popular.

At this time, in a certain room with bright windows in the legendary hotel in Zhao Yili's tape, a close battle had just ended.

A battle between a man and a woman.

The beard, who had hurriedly ended the battle, turned over from the woman's belly and wore no clothes, so he was naked, lit a half-cut cigar in his hand, and the faint fragrance sounded, and the beard took a deep breath of smoke with satisfaction, and spit out a non-existent smoke ring with pleasure.

At this time, the phone in the room remembered, and the beard had been waiting for this call for a long time, so he rushed over a little impatiently, and picked up the phone under the disdainful gaze of the woman on the bed.

I only heard a deep voice say, "Have you arrived in California, have you seen the information I gave you?" The bearded man flipped the cowhide envelope in his hand and said, "Yes, I can't know anymore." When do you want me to do it? ”

After speaking, he put down the kraft paper bag in his hand, reached over to tease the woman's pointed chin, saw the woman dodge, had to withdraw his hand stupidly, snapped his fingers, and motioned for the woman to bring her clothes, the woman reluctantly complied, and the bearded man continued to listen to the phone and said: "Within three days, the target will hold a press conference at the Hyatt Regency Newport, California, to promote the new product launch, this is your only chance in the near future, I hope you can succeed." I'll arrange for you to go to Europe then. Come back in a few years. If you fail, you don't have to go back to the prison you just left from, I think, you know what I mean. ”

This meaning, everyone understands, it means that failure means that you will die for yourself, the beard shook his head with a wry smile, and stuffed back half of the money that he took out of his pocket of his clothes.

The woman who had just put on her pants next to the bed was violently pounced, and a savage gut battle began again, as if to vent her dissatisfaction with the whole world.

The rough movement pushed the brown paper bag to the ground, and a photo of a man in a suit and leather shoes fell out, if an acquaintance could see it, it would definitely be recognized, and on this photo, it was Iverson, the executive vice president of GM Group!

It seems that some forces are extremely unhappy with the end of the last hijacking, and now that they have sent killers again, what will be the fate of Iverson this time?
