Chapter Seventy-Eight

Wang Wenwu got off the ship, and there were many more tower cranes than in Chinese ports.

Shu Jinxi and Sun Muen waited together, and Wang Wenwu handled the temporary storage procedures for the goods.

When the staff knew that Wang Wenwu had brought the goods to France by himself and was not from that company, they suddenly became enthusiastic, and it didn't take long for a pot-bellied white man to appear in front of Wang Wenwu.

And politely said, "Bonjour, allez-vous parler français?" [Hello, do you speak French?] 】

“Sera un peu! Qui es-tu?” [A little! Who are you? 】

"Génial, génial, je suis toujours inquiet de ce que vous ne pouvez pas faire, vous êtes si génial! After speaking, he hugged Wang Wenwu.

Wang Wenwu was almost smoked by the thick body odor, hurriedly pushed the person away, and said loudly: "Qui êtes-vous [Who are you?] 】”

"I am from the French mail company, can I buy all your goods. 】”

Wang Wenwu knew that if he sold his own goods, he would waste a lot of time, so he said: "Il n'y a pas de problème avec le prix.

After several rounds of bargaining with white men, Wang Wenwu sold them all.

When he saw Shu Jinxi and Sun Muen, Wang Wenwu pointed to the pot-bellied white man next to him and said, "He will help us find a temporary place to stay here, and then make a train to Lyon tomorrow." ”

Seeing that everyone was fine, the pot-bellied white man led everyone to a medium inn.

Wang Wenwu asked Sun Muen, "Miss Sun, what do you think of here?" ”

"Just stay for one night, let's rest early!"

Sun Muen has no opinion, Wang Wenwu has no problem, and after moving in, Shu Jinxi asked: "You know that person from there, and even today's room fee was paid by him." ”

"Do you believe there will be such a good person?"

Shu Jinxi took out the ones he was going to use and said, "Don't you see this!" You haven't said why he's so enthusiastic! ”

"Don't you think he looks at me like a fool?"

Shu Jinxi sat next to Wang Wenwu and asked, "Master, what is going on?" ”

"What else can I do, I sold the goods to him at a low price!"

"Ah, you sold it all at a low price!"

"At the low price here, I don't know the market when I go to sell it myself, the second is to delay time, and the third is that we are on someone else's territory after all, who knows what will be indiscriminate, or take the opportunity to get rid of it!"

"Aren't you at a loss, then!"

"Who said that my things are low prices here, but they are high prices compared to China, this business is the same as being a person, you can't be greedy."

"It's good if you don't lose anything," and then asked in a low voice in Wang Wenwu's ear: "Master, how much did you earn?" ”

"You don't have to worry about your tuition fees in the past few years."

Seeing Shu Jinxi's surprised look, Wang Wenwu felt proud in his heart.

The pot-bellied white man was still in the restaurant next to the hotel, and invited Wang Wenwu and his party to eat local Marseille food.

Wang Wenwu first asked for Marseille fish soup, and coming to Marseille without drinking fish soup is like not climbing the Great Wall when he arrives at BJ. Wang Wenwu saw at least 5 kinds of marine fish to boil in the fish soup, and added crabs and mussels to enhance the layering. The soup is filled with a lot of local spices, and the reddish-yellow soup looks very thick.

The white man recommended Marseille ouzo to everyone, and when the wine was served, the wine was cloudy and milky white, and Wang Wenwu tried it, and the taste was light and slightly bitter.

A meal can be regarded as a pleasure for both guests and hosts.

The next day, Wang Wenwu and his entourage rushed to Lyon by train. When I arrived at the Franco-Chinese University of Lyon, I found that there were Chinese staff, and everyone was very happy to meet Chinese people from such a distance.

Under the explanation of the enthusiastic staff of the Sino-French University of Lyon, everyone understood that the Sino-French University of Lyon belongs to the cooperation of the Chinese and French governments, and the Sino-French University of Lyon is not a school in the ordinary sense, because it does not have its own independent teachers and independent curriculum arrangements, but according to the agreement reached between China and France, the Sino-French University of Lyon cooperates with the National University of Lyon, France, and the latter assists in completing the course.

Students of the Sino-French University of Lyon can enter the university of Lyon according to their majors after registration, because the school has just been established and the manpower is not very abundant, Wang Wenwu asked: "What about room and board, does the school provide it?" ”

The staff replied: "The Franco-Chinese University of Lyon provides accommodation and board for Chinese students, and offers French tuition courses. ”

Seeing that Wang Wenwu was much more relaxed, he said: "The Huafa education that came before will pay them 5 francs a day for living expenses. But in the first half of the year, a statement was issued that students would no longer be paid 5 francs a day for living. ”

Shu Jinxi said: "We already knew when we came! ”

"You know, it's good, now that many factories in France have closed down, work-study students don't have jobs, and there are no school, and many people live on the living expenses of 5 francs a day from the Huafa Education Association,"

Maybe it was seeing people from China, maybe it was something that happened recently, and he continued in a low voice: "Even if there is a subsidy, there are still people who have difficulties in life, and those who can't survive will die in a foreign land, and when they die, we will hold a memorial service; I was most afraid of attending such a memorial service, and as soon as I entered the venue, I couldn't help but shed tears.

What do you eat? It is the cheapest bean cake and potatoes. Because there was no money to buy gasoline, the potatoes were burned half-baked, and the hospital dissected the corpse and found that the stomach was full of spherical potatoes, like iron lumps. ”

Wang Wenwu and his entourage were silent, and Sun Muen asked in a low voice, "Then what's going on now?" ”

The subsequent student protests eventually forced the Chinese French Education Association to agree to continue paying their living expenses of 5 francs a day. But the great dilemma has not changed in the slightest. Okay, without saying that, do you guys sign up today? ”

Wang Wenwu looked at Shu Jinxi, and Shu Jinxi looked at Sun Muen, Sun Muen said: "I promised my father before I went abroad to study business, and I plan to go to HEC Paris. ”

Shu Jinxi said: "I am a teacher, and I plan to stay in Lyon or school education. ”

"Come to Paris and come to me when you have time."

"Of course,"

Sun Muen arranged for the housekeeper to take the translator to buy a train ticket to Paris, and it was actually very simple to study in France, just need a letter of introduction from the Global Student Association and a ferry ticket, and the French Consulate General will issue an entry visa. After having a meal with Sun Muen in the evening, Sun Muen left the next day.

Shu Jinxi is looking for a manager in the lobby, and the waiter exercises French, since he arrived in France, Shu Jinxi has always insisted on talking to Wang Wenwu in French, from the stumbling of just getting off the boat, to now speaking fluently every day.

Wang Wenwu bought a large number of local newspapers to learn about the local situation and see if there was a suitable house to rent or sell.
