Chapter 174: Strategies for Making Friends

Zhang Shuting bit her fingers and thought for a while, then nodded and replied: "That's right, I really shouldn't be afraid of anything, isn't it with your support?" I shouldn't be afraid, well, when you came out, you also faced such and such problems, right? How did you get through the lonely period? I mean, if you want to be part of this society, if you want to think of this as your own community, you have to start there, right? How did you get started? ”

"Let's get started, let me think about it. You're here to study, and you always have to participate in school activities, right? Your school has a 'Weird Pajama Day' every Thursday every month, are you involved in it? ”

"This, I ......"

"The activities organized by the school are part of the campus culture, you have the right to participate, and you have the right to judge every project of the activity, if you don't participate and you don't evaluate, then you are a bystander, you are an outsider to the school, then don't blame others for rejecting you, don't blame others for resisting you. Don't blame yourself for being lonely and bored, feeling homesick. Because you reject this society, this society also rejects you. ”

Zhang Shuting raised her mouth and shook her head gently for a long time: "I'm ...... It's not that I don't want to participate, I want to participate, in fact, I participate every time, I stand on the lawn and admire the teachers and students all roaming around the campus in weird pajamas, I think it's funny and funny, I cheer for them and applaud them, but ...... You know, I don't sew, buy weird pajamas that are ready...... I've seen the supermarket labels, and they're all very expensive. It wasn't easy for my parents to make money, and I was reluctant to spend it. ”

"You know what? Campus programs like Wacky Pajama Day have their origins in Plato's time. During the Renaissance, when collegiate education flourished again, the custom began to spread to every academy in the world. It is said that in the early days, Tsinghua, Nankai, and Fudan also had similar programs. Its main intent is to teach students that God is also human.

Pull the gods off the altar and thus have the Renaissance. Shouting out 'everyone is equal, the concept and let it be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that there is' civilization, as well as social progress and enlightenment...... Civilization, do you know?

Enlightenment means that God has fallen from the altar, power no longer decides everything, the aristocracy no longer has power and superior resources, the common people no longer receive brainwashing and education, the truth no longer has a threshold, and everyone has the right to gain wisdom - this is called 'enlightenment,'. The significance of this activity is to imperceptibly pass on the concept of equality in the Renaissance to every student.

You see, the principal is usually very strict, right? On a Thursday every month, he walked out into the campus in a strange pajamas, and let the students laugh at him and ridicule him, which is to tell you that there is no authority on the campus, there is no god on the campus, and wisdom can be obtained without the endorsement of power and social hierarchy. While respecting the inheritance of knowledge, every student should also dare to challenge their predecessors and dare to transcend hierarchical concepts.

You see, you may not have as much knowledge as the principal, but as long as you have a rich imagination, you can wear a quirky pajamas that are more eccentric, funny, funny, and absurd than the principal, and attract attention, and make your classmates envious, jealous, and by the way, mock the unimaginative teacher, and that's a victory. After this victory, if you embark on the road of scientific research in the future, will you regard authoritative scientific assertions as divine judgments, as taboos that cannot be surpassed?

No, you will say: Phew, I laughed at the principal in elementary school, why don't I dare to laugh at the brick family when I am old. Who is wiser, who is smarter, it is not power and social hierarchy that have the final say, it is a mule or a horse, pull it out and compare it with each other?

Participation is a kind of integration, applauding and cheering for him, and it is a kind of spectatorship. With such a lively school event, such a meaningful school event, how can you sit idly by? Just to save money? No, no, no, the renewal of ideas cannot be measured by money.

Tell you one of the easiest ways to make friends - hobbies. A shared hobby can ⊥ two strangers to each other quickly find a topic and quickly come together, play with each other, and spend leisure time with each other......"

"A vacation like this? Is a yacht vacation a common hobby? ”

"Don't interrupt, I'm giving you a scientific lecture - what are your hobbies? You've always had a little bit of a liking, okay...... It doesn't matter if you don't, you can write Chinese characters, which can become a 'hobby,' You can try to find a few classmates in school who love oriental culture, it doesn't matter if they don't understand, you teach them.

In fact, Chinese characters are very mysterious in the eyes of Westerners, you see Hollywood movies, many people have Chinese characters tattooed on their bodies, however, the words on their tattoos are often typos, which shows that foreigners do not care about the correct way to write Chinese characters, they only care about the artistic conception, the artistic conception of hieroglyphs. You can gather a group of people and tell them about the mysteries of Chinese writing.

Oh, don't care about the typos they write, or if you write well or not, or if you read the typos. Foreigners have their own writing, they don't need another script to express their ideas, they just want to appreciate and appreciate the beauty of hieroglyphics. They don't care, and neither do you. You make friends through this thing, as long as they are willing to write with you and play with you, you have a group of friends in the blink of an eye.

Then, you can talk to this group of friends about fashion – if you don't know about fashion, talk to them about the dishes in the restaurant; If you don't understand the restaurant dishes, talk to them about the dining cloth on the dining table. From this topic, Chinese embroidery culture can be introduced...... You see, there are so many ways to make friends, as long as you use your imagination, you have friends and you integrate into school. In turn, it will be integrated into the community and the whole city.

The city rejects the most indifferent bystanders, and with each of your participation actions you will find supporters, with whom your circle of friends will grow larger, and these friends will invite you to his house on weekends, will invite you to the park together, will invite you to watch a movie together...... Then, then you will worry that you don't have enough time to study, and you will worry that you have too little time at home, so will you still worry about loneliness? ”

Zhang Shuting straightened up, knocked on the dining table and said, "You, Brother Kane, you and I describe a beautiful expectation, which makes me very excited... Well, I'll try to do what you say, but ......"

An Feng responded: "Are you worried that the cost is too high? No, money is the easiest to make, and when you understand this society, you will find that it is too easy to make money here, and you can pick up a millionaire by picking up bottles. You don't have any money now, don't worry, you live in my house, a little money, I'll help you pay for it. ”

Zhang Shuting cheered: "Ouye, you are really a good person, Brother Kane, you can teach me how to make money." Well, in fact, my tuition fees are the big one, and my parents are overwhelmed with my tuition fees......"

It's a joke, isn't it?

Luckily, Deere's phone call broke the embarrassment.

"Knowing you're on holiday, I called you during the day and the Swiss shipment has been safely delivered...... Well, it took a little bit of a fee, 30 percent of the cost, and the remaining 20 percent we set up a fund for those two poor boys and girls.

That's a lot of money, and the fund custodian will divide the money into two equal parts and give it to the two children when they reach adulthood - are you satisfied with the result? ”

What Deere meant was that the party money had been successfully transferred, and the money laundering fees transferred out accounted for 30 percent of the funds. In addition, Deere withdrew 20 percent of the funds and set up an education fund, or growth fund, to raise the children left behind by the old man.

Next, An Feng accounted for three-and-fives of the remaining nearly half of the funds, and one-fifty went to Dill and the mercenaries involved in the operation...... That's a lot of money, and even with 35 percent remaining, it's still close to 10 billion.

At Anfeng's request, Dill created two new Arab identities – the Arab world, which is known to be chaotic and strictly hierarchical. Even in the twenty-first century, many pastoralists are born without birth registration, and people are not even able to determine their nationality. Nomad, this morning in Amman, maybe in Saudi Arabia in the evening, in the minds of the Arab nomadic tribes there is only the concept of tribe and homeland, and there is no clear national distinction between them.

It is very difficult to verify such an Arab false identity, and if you want to prove the existence of this person, and the authenticity of this person's life history, you need to carefully search in the desert, find the person's birth tribe, find the person's birth tent......

One of the two identities was Sariyya ibn Zaafir al-Abbas, the forty-third son of an Amman chief, and the Abbas chief, or the village chief, did not remember where the forty-third son was left behind, and sometimes he did not even know whether he had a forty-third son. But the Amman government recognized this identity by giving the official Registrar of Amman a small sum of money, and he immediately transcribed Diere's life history. As a result, this false identity became the official "son of the village chief" in Amman, which is often translated as "Amman Oil Prince" in China.

Another fake identity created by Deere is more civilian: Pierre Samaha, a Lebanese citizen, was born during the time of the Falangist coup, when 30 to 40 percent of the buildings in Lebanon's urban area were destroyed and police files were completely burned in repeated tug-of-war between government forces and putschists......

Pierre Samaha's parents are unknown and cannot even be inquired about. When the peacekeepers entered Lebanon, two-year-old Pierre Samaha was taken in by an international aid organization to attend a Christian missionary college, and grew up as a drifter between Eastern and Western cultures......

Dir divided nearly 10 billion funds into two parts, Sariyah ibn Zaafir Abbas, an identity in Amman, who has nearly 8 billion assets in his name, and Pierre Samaha, a Lebanese identity, only has more than 1 billion in his account. The source of this money, Sariyya ibn Zaafir al-Abbas, who was born in Amman, suddenly obtained this huge amount of money because of a gift from his father, or the output of oil wells on the land under his name, and Pierre Samaha, a Lebanese person, suddenly owned this property, which changed his shares in the Internet......

Deere did not explain how he had laundered the huge sum of money himself, presumably by creating a false identity in order to legally own the money - because no matter how money was laundered, the source of the money had to be justified, otherwise the government would have considered such a large sum of money to be a windfall, or stolen money. And once other people with a heart learn, they can't help but think more.

Getting this good news early in the morning, An Feng felt refreshed, and the feeling of being forgotten and abandoned was suddenly left behind, okay, it's good not to be noticed at this time. I can enjoy the money in peace.

He returned to the table, looking excited. Zhang Shuting saw him returning, and stubbornly continued the topic just now: "I just wanted to tell you: Americans have a salary of five or six thousand, and it seems that the monthly food expenses only cost four hundred to six hundred US dollars, but the cost in other aspects is really a lot, like the community activities you said, school activities, if you actively participate in everything, I am afraid that the monthly funding will need at least thousands of US dollars......

By the way, I forgot to ask you how much it cost you to have such a big pile of rice on your table. ”

An Feng smiled, he grabbed the cup and poured himself a glass of ice water, and said slowly: "At noon, we have a lobster dinner - it's a big meal, not a meal." The main course is a whole lobster, the side dish is flounder, and there are seven or eight local specialties...... Guess how much the meal is worth? ”

Zhang Shuting shook her head: "Don't be pretentious, how can I guess the price level in Cyprus." Hurry up and tell the truth. ”

"A U building in Cyprus is translated into a villa, or a palace, and other houses in China, the price is about 10,000 euros, or about 100,000 yuan, and the Cyprus special meal is generally a meal ordered by a family of three, and the portion is enough for three big appetites to eat, at least 20 dishes, equivalent to more than 80 yuan. As for the Cypriot meal, I mean a lobster meal, which costs up to 200 RMB - the price here is more expensive than in Greece. This is a world-famous yachting area. ”

Zhang Shuting took a breath of cold air: "What should I say?" 100,000 yuan, in the magic capital can only buy a toilet with a few tiles in the size of an area. A lobster needs at least 2,000 yuan to be genuine, and it is unheard of to eat a lobster dinner for 200 yuan...... What is the salary of people here? ”

"Cyprus is relatively poor, with an average salary of 2,000 to 5,000 euros per person. This government has recently been in financial distress, and has begun to recruit a certain Chinese, sell you a house for 100,000 yuan, and then allow you to have Cypriot identity, but this status cannot work in Cyprus, you can only spend, and the local government is afraid that too many Chinese people will come and steal the employment opportunities of the locals. ”

Zhang Shuting waved her hand disdainfully: "Cut, you can only spend money but not make money, this identity is useful, isn't it chicken ribs?" ”

"However, many Wenzhou and Fujian people have come to buy houses in the local area, and their generation cannot work locally, but their children can, and the 'second generation's children, who were born in Cyprus, are natives of Cyprus...... You wait, a few decades later, this small island belongs to Wenzhou and Fujian. ”

Zhang Shuting was amused by this cold humor and giggled, she grabbed the spoon and knife, and tried to turn to the various dishes on the table, she hurriedly asked while eating: "What are the items today?" It was my first time on this type of vacation...... Well, I hope to take it easy and not make it like labor, more tiring than normal classes. ”

An Feng beckoned, the captain's wife dressed in white hurriedly ran up, An Feng asked the other party in Greek and Turkish about the activity arrangement, and after a few words, he figured out that the captain and his wife should be residents of the Turkish part of Cyprus, and the official language is Turkish.

The captain can provide activities such as water paddling, paragliding, and fishing, in addition to the yacht traveling around the world, you can take people to explore the nearby sea and the strange scenery nearby...... Zhang Shuting is not interested in the scenery or anything, she prefers the paddling project. hurriedly filled a few mouthfuls of food, and felt that her stomach was a little full, and she immediately shouted: "Brother Kane, how about you paddle with me, I'm alone, a little stage fright." ”

An Feng shook his head gently: "Paddle is a sport, two people are prone to collision accidents, rest assured, the difficulty coefficient of this game is not high." ”

Zhang Shuting has never played water skiing, so she uses a snowboard, which is a willow-shaped wooden board the size of a small sampan. Wakeboarding, on the other hand, is similar in shape to a snowboard, and each foot controls a pair of wakeboards, which requires a certain level of skill and proficiency......

Zhang Shuting changed into a swimsuit, put on a life jacket, the captain's wife tied a safety rope to Zhang Shuting's waist, and repeatedly told her to take the essentials of the action, Zhang Shuting jumped into the sea from behind the yacht, the life jacket made her float on the sea, the captain's wife threw the water ski into the bottom of the sea, signaled Zhang Shuting to grab it with her hand first, it is best to put one foot on the water ski, and after Zhang Shuting hurriedly set the water ski, the captain began to accelerate, An Feng walked to the stern with a cigar in his mouth, and motioned Zhang Shuting to grab the cable.

The yacht speed is getting faster and faster, originally half sinking and half floating in the water Zhang Shuting, after the yacht speeded up, with the help of the safety rope standing on the water ski, and after she stood firm, the yacht suddenly raised the maximum speed, and began to carry out serpentine movement in the sea.

Every time the yacht turned, Zhang Shuting was thrown to the side of the yacht, the safety rope pulled her tight, she rolled and danced on the water, screaming......

After getting familiar with the movements, Zhang Shuting had a better time, she only used one foot to control the water ski, and the other foot flew into the air, doing a flying swallow action for a while, and a person rolling in the air for a while, anyway, there was a safety rope on her waist, she couldn't sink into the water, even if she fell into the water, she couldn't hurt or hurt if she fell.

A whole hour passed, Zhang Shuting began to shout tired, she signaled the captain to reduce the speed, the captain's wife ran to the stern of the boat and began to recover the cable, Zhang Shuting climbed onto the yacht, so tired that her little finger couldn't lift it, but she lay on the stern deck, and continued to scream excitedly: "It's amazing, I've seen people playing paddling in Qiandao Lake, but the motorboat there only hoists people up for three or two minutes, and the motorboat stops before it gets up, which is not embarrassing."

Alas, it's good to be rich, maybe in Qiandao Lake, you can have fun renting a yacht like you...... Hey, what are you doing? So weird? ”
