Chapter 234: Fiery Eyes
Conan doesn't know about the conversion between RMB and Hong Kong Island currency, as long as he gives the money out, what does he do with so many details, and he is not engaged in the financial industry, why should he be so serious? Besides, there is not much money, count it and count it, isn't it still those two jujubes? And not very rich.
Chunyan was not willing to buy clothes, she wanted to know where to sell cheap clothes on Hong Kong Island, she didn't know, so she asked Director Huang, and Director Huang said, "Yes, on Silk Street." ”
When Conan heard the name, he thought it was good, Xiu-Shui-Street, well, maybe there is a beautiful legend, but Conan was too uncomfortable listening to Director Huang speak Mandarin, so he didn't want to embarrass her, and wanted to wait to meet Miss Liu and ask her.
The three of them went from the ground, along the steps, to the underground, waiting for the subway, there were many people, but in very order. No one was making a noise. The tram came, very fast, stopped, opened the door, people got off and then on.
The three of them got on the tram, this strange thing underground, voice reminder, closed the door, began to fly, and flew forward at a rapid pace underground, like a drill dragon, soon, the tram arrived, Director Huang reminded them that they had arrived, so they left the tram, walked quickly to the elevator, and got on the elevator.
The elevator sent them to the ground, and it suddenly became clear that this place was not a downtown area, and it seemed a little secluded. Director Huang said: "This is a rich area, and many rich people live here. ”
Sure enough, the houses here are not very high, and some of the houses are even three-story small buildings, with small yards, which are obviously very expensive on Hong Kong Island, where every inch of land is at a premium.
Then they walked to the corner of the street and waited there for someone.
Other groups went to other places to visit and study, some were interested in urban ministry, concerned about the poor in the city, and some were interested in gospel radio, and went there to see who made the voice in the air and see the truth behind the scenes.
Before moving separately, the time and place of the meeting were agreed, and here, looking at the signs set up on the street, I knew that the name of this street was "Kowloon Pond".
Nine was an auspicious number in ancient times, and the influence of Han culture was far-reaching, and the street was named after nine, which was noble.
The dragon is also a mascot, up to now, no one has ever seen a dragon, but in people's impression, the dragon is something that can bring good luck to people, the emperor is called the true dragon son of heaven, the people look forward to the son Jackie Chan, the daughter into the phoenix, so as to do "the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious".
Conan looked up and saw that this was the seminary.
On Hong Kong Island, you can see churches, nursing homes, hospitals and seminaries everywhere, and Hong Kong Island is an area of freedom of belief.
They appeared. A group of people walked from the corner of the street, looking tired, but they all had things in their hands, and at first glance, they were some leaflets and pamphlets, and it seemed that when they visited other institutions, they would send out some information. But Conan and Chunyan didn't, they went to the academy and saw the Bible the most.
Thankfully, as long as you go out, you will be rewarded. It's great to meet people along the way who give out Bibles for free, and in different translations. Conan wanted to know how the other versions were translated, whether they were easy to understand, and they could be understood at a glance, without having to go through the trouble of researching the information.
Judging from the performance of the various visiting groups, there are still gains, for example, there are a lot of books. These things can be saved, and you can look at them when you think about them. It doesn't go out of style, it's more useful than food, it's more useful than clothes. Food and clothing are wasted. Books don't break, they are well kept, and they are generally not eaten by insects.
To Conan's relief, none of them threw away the book. On Hong Kong Island, the most precious thing is books, which can change people's lives, and it is true that they can increase people's income. Knowledge is important, not to mention skills. Knowledge and skills are high, or not just one kind of knowledge and skill, it will be very useful, and the income of one day may be the income of someone else in a month. A month's income is someone else's income for a year.
Talking about relationships and human feelings in the mainland is not good on Hong Kong Island. On the capable, don't occupy a place if you can't, which is very realistic and cruel. Of course, there are also people who are easy to do in a society of acquaintances. This one can't last. Because the bigger the city, the less dependent it is on acquaintances. Acquaintances can make mistakes and cause losses. It's better to find competent people to improve efficiency, and there is no problem of deficit.
In the streets and alleys, you can see the shadow of reading, of course, there are also reading on mobile phones. Now, in the streets and alleys of the mainland, there are also people who look at their mobile phones, but more people are wearing headphones to listen to music, and in addition, there are almost no people who read books. To survive in the big city, if you need to improve your survival skills and earn a high income, you need to learn more skills. If you have great ability, you will have a high income. If you don't have the ability, you can't seize the right opportunity.
The physical books in the bookstore are discounted and discounted, and they are still piled up, and the students' textbooks and extracurricular tutoring books are mostly popular and also sell well, and most of the people who read books and do not buy books are teenagers and children. There are very few adults, and they are basically parents of children who come to the bookstore in order to complete the tasks assigned by the school teacher. The relationship between the owner of the bookstore and the teacher should be good. There is a problem with the transfer of benefits to these. If the relationship with the teacher is good, the teacher will let the parents of the students go to the bookstore to buy tutoring materials or exercises, and if the relationship is not good, it will be gone, and they will arrange to buy it in a suitable place. These bosses are very shrewd and good at seizing opportunities.
That's the cultural difference. The Japanese criticize the Chinese, there are not as many bookstores as in Japan, there are not as many books as in Japan, in the future, Japan will not need to be afraid of China at all, China can only process products, but Japan can invent products, and what China earns will always be a small part of the value of the product, most of which belong to foreign countries.
Most of the students in our country who are very good at studying, as long as they study abroad, do not want to come back, study hard in China, and in the end, they are read to others. Just because people are well treated, isn't studying just to have a good income and a good life? However, in China, everything is about relationships, and scholars can't get what they want from China, only by having milk.
This is sad, but fortunately, there is also Hong Kong Island, a small place, that still retains the habit of reading. Intellectuals who have not gone out in China, or quasi-intellectuals, also called intellectual youth, or pseudo-intellectual youth, probably understand the importance of reading, so there is always a bookcase at the head of the bed, and you can only fall asleep by flipping through the books before going to bed, and Conan is like this. Falling asleep is not the same as being asleep. Most people are asleep, not asleep. Those who can sleep are basically not ordinary people. Such a person knows in his heart, is not in a hurry, works when he should work, studies when he should study, and rests when he should rest. No matter what you do, you can do it to the extreme.
In addition, there are a lot of dicks in the country now, male dicks and female dicks, or house slaves, most of them are tired of living, becoming slaves, not masters, I feel like eunuchs in this life, without a little freedom.
Dick Si doesn't get married, and she is addicted to playing games; The house slave is as tired as a cow, a horse and a donkey every day, and he is so tired that he wants to sleep when he goes home, where can he have time to read. Books look at him/her pretty much the same. The point is not to develop the habit of reading. Even if you have the habit of reading, you are also tired by all trivial things, and you can't be relaxed or happy.
Seeing that the people slowly arrived, they crossed the street together and went to the seminary, the old seminary was on this side of the road, and the new one was on the other side. When I went upstairs, I was received, it turned out to be a teacher from the seminary, she introduced herself, and then introduced the seminary, and each of them gave out a brochure about it, and some magazines, in addition, the precious one may be a ballpoint pen all the time. The name of the seminary is printed on it, and the intention is probably that after reading the book and using the pen, you can probably think of the seminary, and if you have money and time, you can go to the seminary to study, and you can progress. Of course, it won't be free, and you can only know how much you have to pay for tuition until you reach a certain level. This time from the mainland a lot, if you have money or leisure or have aspirations, of course, you can sign up to study, this time the arrangement here is to lay the foundation, leave an impression, is to plan for the future expansion of recruitment.
The seminary is not big, maybe it is only four floors, and after a circle, it is gone. There is a chapel in the seminary, which may be for students to practice each other. Then, the first floor was full of books. There are a lot of books, rows and rows, you can't see the beginning, you can't see the end, there are a lot of rooms, basically all books, and the desk is aggrieved in a small corner of the room, maybe a place to read. The teacher also introduced: "Most of the books are still in the old college, and they haven't been packed up yet. The old seminary was sold. Otherwise, there would be no money to pay for the establishment of the new seminary. ”
Conan listened, this is just a toss, isn't it good in the old seminary? The buildings in the mainland are not long-lived, so why are the buildings on Hong Kong Island not long-lived? Or the long life of buildings in Europe.
It's real.
Chunyan, Qi Sina and others took pictures everywhere, I don't know where they are beautiful.
Conan even felt that the buildings were more beautiful than them, and the flowers and plants were more beautiful than them, so why did he use his heart to take pictures, instead of observing with his eyes, hearing with his ears, touching with his fingers, smelling with his nose, and feeling with his body?
Speaking of coming to Hong Kong Island, I can show off when I get home, take out photos and point out where this is, where it is, but I don't know how to describe the feeling.
After everyone took a group photo together, they left the seminary, and the college did not mean to leave everyone for dinner.
Then, Miss Liu said, "Secretary Nian is waiting for us to come over for dinner, let's go directly to the restaurant." ”
For eating, everyone does not refuse, it seems that this demand is highly consistent, no different.
When he arrived, Conan looked at the layout and grade of the hotel, and felt that it was not an ordinary hotel, and it was relatively high-end on Hong Kong Island. The year officer thought carefully, because no one has ever been to Hong Kong Island, for the gathering, this may be the first time, or the last time, everyone has worked for the foundation for many years, and others are used to asking: "Since you are a charity on Hong Kong Island, have you ever been to Hong Kong Island?" ”
If you tell the truth, people will look down on them from the bottom of their hearts, and they will say that they work in a Hong Kong Island organization, and they don't even know what the Hong Kong Island chief looks like, and they still brag! If you go to Hong Kong Island, you will naturally say confidently that you have been there, then it is not easy for people to say anything.
The dinner was very sumptuous, and most of the members of the board of directors were here, as well as office staff and colleagues from all over the mainland.
Yin Xianren didn't know what he was crazy about, and proposed to let Jing Chu's colleagues perform the show, maybe he saw a lot of dishes, this table of dishes is not simple, it is estimated to be expensive, mainlanders are hungry and afraid, and they see delicious food, but they must have etiquette, they can't eat immediately, they have to endure it, and when the show is over, they start to eat openly.
After thinking about it, Yin Xianren went on stage, Conan and Togo refused, not to mention Qi Sina, who twisted like a twist and refused to go. Yin Xianren's mistake is that he was too authoritarian and domineering, and he didn't discuss it with other colleagues, so he did it like this, more than once, and it belonged to the overlord who made a bow. That's how people are used to being bosses.
Most of the eldest in the family have this problem, and they can't get rid of it right away, so they may have to enter the coffin with this habit.
Mainlanders too, they are very numb, they didn't expect to be the master for themselves, and they love face, subtlety, and hypocrisy. It's not like a normal person. Westerners are straightforward, one is one, two is two, and there is no such thing as crooked bowels. It's a stratagem, compared with the Easterners, the Westerners' stratagems are simply pediatric, the technology is too clumsy, the Westerners can't see through it, and the Easterners can see through it at a glance.
Therefore, the East has the word fiery eye, while the West does not. It's true. The monkey was alchemy by Taishang Laojun and refined into a fiery eye, because the monkey was deceived and looked down on the Jade Emperor Lao'er, so he wanted to make a fuss, Taishang Laojun was loyal to the Jade Emperor Lao'er, and he wanted to make alchemy for him, I don't know what the alchemy is for, anyway, it is refined. Because the Jade Emperor does not have the problem of dying of old age, it is estimated that the alchemy is to keep him in a good mood.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are old, and there is no problem of intercourse, as if in the sky, there is no rain, and there is no need to build a house, since there is no house, there is no intercourse. So what's the use of Dan? Conan thought to himself, if there is an elixir, alchemists eat it themselves, and they will all live forever, and there should be more alchemists now than ordinary people. Maybe the alchemist died, and those who were left behind were ordinary people. But not one generation, one generation after another.
It seems that Taishang Laojun has nothing to do, alchemy play, but the monkey is curious, a little back, in the scheme, in the furnace for a long time, it is estimated that in the furnace meditating, feel that people are sinister, but after an epiphany, came out of the furnace, and kicked over the alchemy furnace, a fire brick fell into the world, becoming a mountain of flames. This matter, tell Conan that if you suffer more losses and be deceived, you will become sharp-eyed. If you don't go through the smoke and fire, don't endure hardships, how can you be a master? Of course, it's good not to be the king and hegemon, and not to be arrogant. Try to keep a low profile, with sharp eyes, you can see clearly, why fight with those mortal eyes? There's no need to yourself off. There is no one to replace the gas sickness. Why bother?
