Chapter 234: Exchange Students
Under the guidance of Stanford alumni, and also for the future layout of Chanel, BΓ©la wholly acquired an Italian company called Giuseppe. Sanoddi's women's shoe brand.
Founded in 2000, this brand specializing in women's shoes is known for being sexy and wild.
There are currently two boutiques, one in Milan and one in Florence.
The designer wanted more women to wear Giuseppe. Sanodi's shoes, wanting to expand the store and expand its influence, Bella has money to invest, and the two sides hit it off.
For 13 million euros, she took the brand into her pockets.
This was followed by an additional 3.5 million euros in Koenigsegg to increase his stake in the Swedish sports car manufacturer to 12 percent.
Leaving some money for her daily expenses, she went back to her normal student life.
......
As soon as the spring semester of Stanford's second year begins, Bella receives some unexpected news from the student council.
The university intends to carry out an exchange program with the University of Tokyo in Japan.
The University of Tokyo also has four faculties: science, law, letters, and medicine, and Stanford plans to send a group of undergraduate and graduate students to study there, and the expenses during the study period will be borne by each other.
Bella is a little moved, a lot of knowledge in the East is also very useful for her spells, and now she has been unable to develop a fourth-level spell, she feels that her own accumulation is not enough, she should master more knowledge, and the University of Tokyo is a good choice.
"Are you going?" She asked her little friend.
"I don't know Japanese." This is Heather's answer.
"No, no." To put it simply, Barbara.
Sam also said that his studies are very heavy, in order to be admitted to law school, he is about to hang his head and stab his head, how can he have spare time to go to Japan, in his opinion, what can he learn in Japan? To go to Japan is to play.
Bella's Japanese is very good, there is no problem in listening, speaking, reading and writing, no need to review, you can get a high score by taking the N1 exam directly.
Distance is not a problem, from Stanford to Tokyo, it is closer than from Stanford to Europe.
She signed up without saying a word, and it didn't hurt to go out for a walk, anyway, she didn't have to pay for it herself.
The exchange teacher at the University of Tokyo welcomed her application very well, and the name of the best-selling author was very useful, especially after the conversation, and I knew that she was very proficient in Japanese.
Japan requires a lot of things for Asian students, such as Japanese test scores, employment certificates of financial guarantors, and tax certificates of eight generations of ancestors, and then carefully review them, for fear that you will take advantage of his loopholes.
There are also requirements for international students in European and American circles, but in practice, they pretend not to exist.
Even if many Americans go to work in Japan, they also speak English every day, and they think that English is the language of the world, and it is strange that they can't speak it, and it's the 21st century, why can't you even speak English?
Pride is one thing, and so is hard to learn.
Americans learn Japanese, just as Japanese learn English, and both find it super difficult to learn.
In the end, there is no way, the big fist makes sense, but the Japanese can only learn English hard, and the learning is so miserable......
At this time, the middle-aged female teacher in charge of exchange student affairs welcomed Bella, all kinds of review procedures do not exist, and she passes directly, if she doesn't have the right, I can't wait to approve a scholarship for her on the spot.
Stanford students are not enthusiastic about the University of Tokyo, after all, the university rankings are so bad that there is no need to run from high places to low places to study, and they don't want to go even if they give money.
The language environment is different, the living habits are also different, and there are obstacles in all aspects.
It was planned to recruit 100 exchange students, but in the end, it took a lot of effort and did not make up 70 people.
Instead of traveling with the big army, Bella flew alone, first went to Hawaii for two days, and then went to Japan, where she had to study two semesters at Stanford and one semester in Japan, that is, half a year.
Hopping on a plane to Tokyo, Bella quickly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
......
Japan, Shikoku Island, Kochi Prefecture.
On the unknown seaside, there is an ancient castle left over from the Warring States period.
The five-story castle tower faces the ocean in the distance, and when you open the door, you can hear the waves crashing against the reef.
It was heavily guarded, with a large number of red-clad ninjas patrolling overtly and covertly, and they did not allow a single idle person to disturb the meeting of Five Fingers.
Five Fingers are five old men who escaped from the sacred land of Kunlun 400 years ago and came to Japan, where they gathered the Snake Root Grass clan and a large number of ninjas, thieves, and assassins who lost their livelihoods during the Warring States period to form an organization called the Hand Association.
The five of them all have advanced martial arts from Kunlun to continue their lives, but four hundred years is still too long, and four of them really can't bear the old and unbearable body, so they use secret arts, abandon the original body, and take the new body.
Just by looking at the appearance, there are whites, blacks, and Asians in the five fingers of the hand.
All four of them were young, except for the one sitting on the side, who was very old, as old as a piece of wood.
"Gao, you're so stubborn, why don't you want a young body? Look at me? How strong? The black man showed his biceps.
The goosebumpy old woman glanced at him, her triangular eyes full of contempt, this idiot, who occupied the body of a black man, was now about to be blackened.
She spoke slowly: "I just don't want our four hundred years of hard work to be in vain. β
A blonde white woman smiled, "Gao, are you still thinking about Sakuralong?" We lured her out of Kunlun, that guy already hates us to death, if I'm not mistaken, you broke that arm of her, do you think she will give you immortality? β
"Open your cloudy old eyes and see, science is the trend of the future, the power of immortality? Gas? It's all outdated, hehehehe! β
Mrs. Gao still drank tea quietly: "I have a way for her to hand over her immortal power to me." β
The black man smiled contemptuously: "Sakura Dragon has been blocking that secret realm for four hundred years, right?" It's independent of time, but it's amazing. It may still be the Warring States Period, and you have worked hard to find a gap in the space, and I heard that you have thrown two groups of people into it to die? What's the use of that, you're such an old fool! β
The rest of the people thought that Mrs. Gao's idea was too wishful thinking, but she mobilized her direct subordinates, and they had no right to interfere.
Am I stupid? Mrs. Gao bowed her head slightly, carefully observing the tea leaves dancing in the teacup, Sakura Long, she wanted, the black sky that the Hand Club had been looking forward to for many years, that is, the existence called Shura, she also wanted it!
