001 This chapter is the prologue!
Airport arrival customs. The neat line is proceeding in an orderly manner.
A smiling young man stood in front of a beautiful customs officer.
"Hello and welcome, Mr. William Wong."
"Hello, I'm still used to people calling me William Wang."
"Okay, Mr. Wang. What is your reason for entering the country? ”
"If I say that the gods have guided me here, will I be denied entry?"
“…… Probably not. ”
"Well, then I was guided by the gods. It was fate that brought me here. ”
“…… What do you plan to do when you enter the country? Is it tourism or employment, or ......"
"I don't know yet, but maybe we'll know in the future."
"Have you purchased a return ticket?"
"No, life is always a one-way journey, how can there be an option to return?"
“……”
A stamp was stamped on William Wang's passport.
"Thank you." William Wang took his passport from the customs officer with a constipated expression, owed to the girl who was about to run away in anger, and passed the customs inspection.
In February, at thirty or forty degrees north latitude, the weather is very cold,
It didn't feel warmer than the Alpine country he came from.
Although in terms of latitude, it is much further south.
"What the hell is the weather." William Wang tightened the down jacket he was wearing and sighed, "I really don't know what kind of bad ...... I poured."
While complaining, William Wang went to the baggage claim area.
It took him a lot of time to fill out the form and queue up for customs clearance, so when he came to the baggage carousel, there was already a lot of luggage circling on the tracks of the carousel.
Standing on the edge of the turntable, with an indifferent expression, William Wang was waiting for his suitcase to arrive.
Suddenly, I felt a pain in the back of my thigh.
"Ahh I'm sorry! ”
A voice sounded behind him.
William Wang turned his head and glanced at it.
A girl bowed to herself apologetically, and next to her, there was a girl.
"It's fine." William Wang turned his head and continued to look at the turntable.
At the baggage claim area, it is not uncommon for you to run into someone else while carrying a suitcase.
It's not a big deal.
Not to mention, the little girl wasn't much taller than the box she had just taken off the conveyor belt. The two little girls travel across the country by plane like this, and there is no need to trouble them.
After waiting for a while, his box arrived.
It's not big, twenty-three inches.
Brand new silver.
William Wang lifted the box down.
With one's eyes shut.
Because it's light.
Pulling up the lever and dragging the suitcase, he came to the airport information desk not far from the exit.
"How can I help you?"
Before William Wang could speak, the airport ground staff standing behind the information desk spoke first.
"Hello, I would like to ask if I want to go to the city......"
"There's a subway station over there, and there's a bus stop next to it, so you can get into the city."
"The most convenient."
"Taxi stop: Just go out of this door, turn right and walk thirty meters."
"Thank you."
William Wang nodded and smiled at the airport ground staff who was standing at the information desk opposite.
Didn't mind the speechless look on this girl's face at all.
Lugging a small suitcase, walking is relaxed and casual.
It reveals an indescribable leisure.
There was a striking contrast with the crowd of people hurrying past him carrying suitcases.
When I came to the taxi rank, I was actually in the queue.
There was no way, there were three planes with him, and there were only so many taxis, and this was unavoidable.
After waiting for half an hour, he finally got into the taxi.
"Hello, where are you going?"
Putting the box in the trunk, William Wang got into the car here, and the polite taxi driver asked.
William Wang did not understand the language of the country.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't know what the driver is talking about.
"Here."
William Wang said something that sounded unsmooth to himself.
Then, he handed a printed note to the taxi driver.
“OK。” The driver obviously doesn't know a language other than his native language,
William Wang nodded, and didn't speak again, just leaned against the car door, looking at the scenery outside the car window, in a daze.
It looks very quiet.
Nothing to say all the way.
"Hello."
"Hello, I booked a room online at your hotel. My surname is Wang. ”
According to the address, the taxi took nearly an hour to take William Wang to a hotel.
It is located in one of the most prosperous areas of the city, Dongdaemun.
This is the most central part of the city.
"Hello, Mr. Wang. Can you show me the information you left when you made your reservation? ”
Hearing William Wang greet in Chinese, the reception staff on the opposite side politely switched to Chinese.
It was a little surprising to William Wang, who was originally wondering whether to speak English like he did when he cleared customs at the airport.
The passport was handed over.
"What are you...... Swiss passport? "The hotel front desk obviously didn't expect that a person who spoke Chinese and looked like a Chinese was actually holding a Swiss passport.
"Hmm." William Wang replied lightly.
The clouds are light and the wind is light.
Soon, the online reservation information was confirmed.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, the hotel you booked online with us here is...... A hundred days? When the front desk saw such a data, its expression was distorted again.
I've never seen a hotel like this!
"Yes." William Wang still replied lightly.
"This ......" The front desk didn't quite know how to explain to the person in front of him that the longer the booking, the more deposit required.
William Wang booked an executive luxury suite in the hotel, $500 a day, which is not high compared to the specifications of the room.
Obviously, this should have been booked a long time ago through some VIP channels.
But even if it is much cheaper than the market rate, a full 100 days, the total room fee is 500,000 US dollars, how much is the appropriate deposit?
"Here, credit cards." William Wang calmly took out a credit card from his wallet and handed it to the reception staff at the front desk.
“…… Good. ”
The reception staff on the opposite side glanced at the credit card in William Wang's hand, nodded immediately, and chose to shut up.
It was a solid black credit card.
The plain one is like a fake.
But in a hotel where each of the most ordinary standard rooms costs $300 a night, the front desk wouldn't be so stupid as to think that the man in front of him, dressed in ordinary clothes, would come and impersonate himself with an IC card of his own making.
took the card from William Wang's hand, and after swiping it, he respectfully returned the card to William Wang, and never said anything more.
Why?
It is now 2006 AD, which is already an era of informatization, if there is something wrong with this card, the system will naturally notify the waiter to tell William Wang.
Since the system quietly prompts the guest to hand over the room card, then just do it.
As for things like how much deposit the guest has to pay for a 100-day booking, she doesn't have to worry about it.
The significance of this credit card is that the bank will provide the cardholder with an unlimited credit guarantee......
Half a million dollars? If people want to, a guarantee of 50 million dollars will do!
"Your room is not on the main building, on the side of the guest house in the back garden."
The room card and passport were handed to William Wang, and the reception staff did not forget to remind him intimately.
"Okay, thanks." William Wang smiled and nodded, and then, dragging the box, intending to leave from the front desk.
I took two steps out and fell back again.
"By the way, it's Tuesday, right?"
“…… Yes. The waiter looked at William Wang's eyes, a little strange.
