Perhaps because Fu Tiao had come to study for a musician's degree, or because of some other reason, Fu Tiao was soon let go by the customs in Frankfurt and allowed him to enter the EU area from Flange.

It's just that he may be the most relaxed of the group of people in the group.

He didn't have a lot of belongings with him, no laptop or tablet, just a very simple change of clothes and countless sheet music.

Those customs didn't understand the gold content of these scores, and they didn't know that this set could be at least a few thousand euros smaller, so they directly released Fu tunes.

And a very trendy man behind Fu Tuo, with an Apple Watch, a tablet and a notebook in his hand, is terrible.

Like Fu Tiao, he all came to Germany to study, but as soon as he came, he was directly taken down by the customs and asked to pay taxes.

Because his belongings were to be used in Germany later, he did not simply come to travel, so according to German law, he had to pay taxes.

Fu Tiao had not gone far when he heard the man's screams and the German customs urging him to pay a fine of five or six hundred euros.

Is this a taste of Germany's high taxes before entering Germany?

Fu Tiao thought about it, did not continue to wait here, followed the crowd to the transfer position, and after a little rest in the luxurious lounge of Lufthansa headquarters, he followed the plane to Berlin.

It was his first time flying to Berlin, and the arrival at Tagore Airport was not particularly good.

The first thing I thought about when I came to Tagore Airport was to make sure that this place was the Capital International Airport?

Fu Diao looked at the gray-black building structure around him and the cramped, less than 100 square meters of luggage waiting area, full of doubts.

All the previous airports were all super big airports, for example, he was at Haicheng Jiangdong International Airport, he even had to run if he wanted to go to a place, and the distance between many boarding gates could be described in kilometers.

That's called a big one.

Even the Frankfurt International Airport, which has just arrived, is no less large than that, and it is still extremely empty.

But now, at Berlin's Capital International Airport, which is Tagore Airport, you don't see that feeling of generosity at all, you just have a small one.

It was only about 50 meters after walking from the airport that he had already entered the terminal, and the distance from the time he got out of the plane to the time he was able to get his luggage was about 200 meters.

This is just the beginning of the outrageous, and what is even more outrageous is that Fu Tiao has not yet reached the luggage waiting area, and he finds that his luggage has begun to move around on the luggage tray.

Convenient, fast, and ...... Old, this is Fu Tiao's first reaction to this Tagore International Airport.

However, old is not a big problem, for Fu Diao, convenience and speed are the most important points.

From the time the plane stopped and landed, to the time he got out of the plane, got his luggage, and left the terminal, it took a total of about ten minutes, and everything was completed.

Normally, this can only be seen at some small airports in China, but I didn't expect to see this scene at the Capital International Airport in Germany.

However, just as Fu Tune sighed, a young voice came from Fu Tune's ears.

"Fu Tune!"

Fu turned his head to look, and a thin man who was about 1.8 meters tall was waving at him, running towards him quickly with a smile on his face, reaching out to take his luggage and smiling.

"Fu Diao, I'm a student of Principal Zhou San, Wu Tian, Principal Zhou San should have told you about this, right? I'll pick you up and help you with some simple, German business...... Speaking of Fu tune, do you know German? ”

"Thank you." Fu Tiao smiled at Wu Tian, and then said, "As for the German language...... I don't. ”

"Ah, I don't know German...... Well, in Berlin and Frankfurt you don't know German, because it's a cosmopolitan city, and you can easily live in this place even if you use English, but if you go to smaller places, such as ...... Hanover. ”

Wu Tian smiled and said: "If you go to Hannover, you have to use German in that place, that place is a small city in Germany, just like when you go to a small city in China, it is quite convenient for you to use English in Haicheng, and you really don't need any English when you go to a small city, everyone is German, and there are English speakers, but there are not many." ”

With that, Wu Tian walked out of Tagore Airport with Fu Diao's luggage.

Not much different from what you see inside, the scenery outside the Tagore Airport terminal is also very familiar earthy yellow, with a hint of gray and black, giving people the feeling of fog.

Just as Fu Diao was looking at the surrounding scenery, Wu Tian waved his hand, pointed to the passage on the side and said, "Fu Diao, this way, get down from this side, my car is parked below." ”

With that, he dragged Fu Tiao's bag and walked underground, and soon came to an empty semi-underground garage with only a few small lights to provide light.

It is said that it is an underground garage, but the house is actually on the ground.

It is not an underground garage, but it is completely under the airport terminal, with almost no lights, with an extremely thick gray and black, large, rough style building.

Wu Tian seemed to have long been accustomed to this, and after throwing Fu Diao's luggage into a four-seater, small car about two meters long, he patted the roof of the car and smiled at Fu Diao, taking advantage of the sunlight reflected outside.

"Come on, let's go, I'll take you to your house to have a look."

"The house? Have you already helped me find a house? Fu Tiao was curious, he originally thought that Wu Tian was just coming to pick him up and take him from Tagore Airport to the center of Berlin.

After all, he had just glanced around the airport and found no trace of the subway train at all.

It's like being isolated.

Wu Tian nodded as a matter of course.

"Of course! Principal Zhou San reminded me specifically, besides, if I didn't help you find a good house, do you plan to live in the hotel for a few months? Houses in Berlin are not easy to find, and if you don't have inside information, you may have to go straight to Brandenburg if you want to rent an apartment, and even if you want to rent a house in the center of Berlin, you will have to pay a very expensive fee. ”

After that, he went to the self-service payment machine to pay the fee, got into his car, and said to Fu.

"But don't dislike my small car, after all, I am also studying at the Berlin University of the Arts, it is very good that I can have such a car, there are not many rich people who can study in Germany, most of them are ordinary families, and they all have to rely on their own hard work."

"I don't dislike it, after all, my family situation is not good."

Fu Tiao shook his head slightly, got into the car, and followed Wu Tian out of Tagore Airport, walking in the direction of Berlin city center.

Small airports have the benefits of small airports, and large airports have the benefits of large airports.

The Tagore International Airport is the fourth largest airport in Germany after Frankfurt, Munich and Düsseldorf, despite its international name.

But in reality, this is a small city airport.

It only takes about fifteen minutes to get out of Tagore Airport and walk to the center of Berlin.

There is also some time in the city center blocking roads.

Before Fu could react, he found that he had arrived at Potsdamer Square, near the last time he had eaten pork knuckle.

Everything around is clear, the Brandenburg Gate in the distance, Potsdamer Platz, and the gleaming Berlin Philharmonic.

Fu Tiao was stunned, and couldn't help but ask Wu Tian, "...... How far is it from Tagore Airport to the city centre? ”

"It's not that far, is it? If it was Brandenburg Airport, which was not yet built and was about to transfer Tagore's functions, it would have been much, much farther, I remember it would have been more than 30 kilometers or 40 kilometers, but Tagore Airport is an international airport in Berlin, and it is only seven or eight kilometers away from where we are now, which is not too far. ”

"Seven or eight kilometers ......"

Fu Tiao didn't know what to say for a while.

Again, a small airport has the benefits of a small airport.

Although Tagore Airport is ugly, featureless, gray everywhere, it always feels a little tattered, and it doesn't have the majesty of an international airport.

But......

Rabindranath Tagore Airport is small!

From coming out to getting the bag, it's two or three hundred meters, isn't it better than those who need to run one or two kilometers to get the luggage?

It is seven or eight kilometers away from the city center to Tagore Airport, and it takes about ten minutes to drive there, and if there is no traffic jam to go directly, it can even drive to about ten minutes, which is not better than those who need more than half an hour to drive from the city center to the airport?

Although those big airports are glamorous and imposing, the number of planes that can accommodate them every day is in the thousands, and planes land every minute.

But aren't such small airports more convenient than those big ones? More comfortable?

Originally, Fu Diao's first impression of Tagore Airport was not very good, but now that he feels the convenience, Fu Tiao has no more ideas.

He just felt that it was great to have Tagore Airport here in Berlin.

Merely......

When the car was waiting for a red light near Potsdam Square, Wu Tian sighed a little helplessly.

"However, Tagore Airport will soon be gone, and it is said that in 2012 Tagore Airport will be demolished and replaced with Schönefeld Airport near Brandenburg."

“2012？ No, it's not 2016......" Fu Tune didn't understand.

Wu Tian explained over there:

"Yes, the original plan was to demolish it in 2012, but the efficiency of the Germans, you know, they always want to design some beautiful, super strong buildings, such as the Elbe concert hall, Stuttgart railway station, but the actual construction capacity is not up to their ideas, so it is obvious that the construction deadline has been delayed again and again, it has been delayed for four years, and no one knows how long it will be delayed, but it is probably soon."

Speaking of this, he didn't know what came to mind, and suddenly smiled: "Oh yes, the three major buildings in Germany are not finished, and now the one that has been successfully built is probably the Elbe Concert Hall in Hamburg, as for the Stuttgart railway station...... It has not yet taken shape, and it may take more than ten years to build, and I recently heard that the budget has increased by another 20 billion, but it has been smashed in, and I can't even hear a sound. ”

"And the airport in Berlin...... Not to mention, it might be built soon, I don't know......"

The red light turned green, Wu Tian shook his head, and continued to drive forward with Fu Tune.

Walking through the door of the Berlin Philharmonic, and crossing a bridge, when it came to the second red light, Fu Diao originally thought that he would continue to drive forward and drive near the urban elevated rail transit in front, but he didn't expect Wu Tian to turn directly and walk towards the gravel road on the side of the subway station.

It's a simple and unpretentious road, with all but the huge gravel floor about 50 meters in front of you, all of which are very regular concrete floors.

The concrete floor of this road is completely different from the concrete floor on the Potsdam Str they just walked, and there are often many patches on the concrete floor on the Potsdam Str Road, looking at the gnawing wow.

And the road on this side is extremely smooth, without any patches on it.

Before Fu Tiao could speak, Wu Tian drove the car all the way to the end of the road, and after finding a place to park, he smiled at Fu Tiao.

"Kurfürstenstrae, Kurfürstenstrae, Staser means road, Kufürstenstrae is the name of this road, German means Elector, this is Kurfürstenstrae, not Kurfürstenstrae, don't get confused, and the accommodation I found for you is the fifth floor of this Kurfürstenstrae.1, a residence that you are absolutely satisfied with, even I have envied for a long time."

After that, he waved his hand at Fu Diao, telling Fu Diao not to take off his luggage first, and to follow him up first.

It's not a new building, or rather...... From the outside, it looks a little old.

The door of the Gundam even felt like someone needed to be in charge of the doorway in order to open it.

Wu Tian took out the key from his pocket and opened the door, and there was a long corridor of about fifty meters.

The corridor leads directly to the garage and garbage room at the rear, and their entrance, to the right of the middle of the corridor, is the same wooden one that can only accommodate two people through a small door.

Wu Tian opened the wooden door and climbed upstairs with Fu Tuo.

The wooden staircase creaked, and the two of them soon reached the fifth floor.

The fifth floor was the penultimate floor of this floor, and Fu Diao didn't quite understand why Wu Tian chose this room.

He actually kind of wanted to have an attic.

Could it be ...... The interior of this house is very well decorated? Is it a very modern and luxurious house?

But it doesn't look like it......

He thought about it, and Wu Tian opened the door.

At first glance, it is not amazing, but ordinary.

It's a very ordinary room, with a long corridor connecting the living room and bedroom, and it's not too big.

Apart from......

Directly across the door, there's a staircase?

"This ......"

"Don't worry, follow me."

Fu Diao was stunned, and before he could speak, Wu Tian waved his hand and asked Fu Diao to follow.

Fu Diao followed Wu Tian from the fifth floor to the sixth floor, looked at Zhou Zhou, and then couldn't help but be stunned.

On the left hand of the upstairs, there is a large living room, about thirty or forty square meters in size.

In the center of the room is a piano.

The open windows on the sloping roof let the sunlight shine softly on the piano, illuminating the Steinway piano.

There are tables and sofas around, so you can have a small concert here.

And that's not all there is to this room.

The sloping white roof does not slope all the way down, but stops in front of the balcony and falls vertically, creating a single balcony.

The balcony was covered with flowers and plants, and the breath of life in the house instantly emerged.

"How? Satisfied, right? ”

Wu Tian swayed lightly in the living room with bare feet, looked at the room with a smile, and said softly.

"In many places in Europe, you can't practice casually, because there is a quiet time (Ruhig Zeit) here, and in order to give everyone a good rest, if you still make noise over there after the quiet time, the harassed person has the right to call the police."

"And this side ...... You can practice the piano a little bit more. ”

He grinned, pointing to the floor beneath his feet and the heavy walls around him.

"Downstairs is your space, the wall next door is muted, and even your living room door is muted."

"And that's not all there is to this room, come to the balcony."

Wu Tian pulled Fu Diao onto the balcony, looking at the scenery outside the window, Fu Diao couldn't help but be stunned.

The sixth floor, where he was located, was the highest floor of the area, and standing out of the window, he could see everything around him.

In the distance, the green Triangle Park (Gleisdreieck) is home to sparse tourists camping and playing.

The church stands alone in the distance, which makes people feel calm.

For some reason, Fu Tiao has begun to like this room.

"Go out to the triangle park, through the triangle park is the subway station, take two subway lines to Bostan Square, and take four stations in the opposite direction to reach Xuandihou Street."

"There is a beer bar run by a young man under the subway, and the beer in it is very delicious, and we can go and have a drink together when we come back."

"Walking in the direction we just came from, at the intersection, which is about 500 meters, there are high-end stores Rewe and Edeka, and a Turkish supermarket that is super cheap and the meat quality is far better than that of supermarkets, and there are fresh vegetables everywhere."

"And the school is also on this road, although there will be a kilometer or two, but you can go directly to the subway when you go out, which is actually very convenient."

"Everything in this room is perfect, quiet, safe and comfortable, except for one thing that is not very good, that is, there is no elevator, but you can't even find any other faults."

Wu Tian grinned proudly at Fu Diao and said with a smile.

"How? The house I found for you is not bad, right? The normal rent plus the rent at Steinway is a total of 1,000 euros a month, and the average price in this area has reached more than 1,300 euros, even if it is a 20-square-meter single room, it costs 600 euros. ”

"How? If you think it's good, you can stay first, tomorrow I will go to the landlord to sign the contract, if you are not satisfied, I will find you something else, I have a few places nearby that can be provided for you. ”

"No, no need......"

Fu Tuo shook his head slightly, walked to the piano, gently stroked the keyboard of the piano, and after playing a melody casually, he closed his eyes slightly, feeling the reverberation of the piano in the room, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

This room is very nice......

It's not just a piano here, it's really acoustic, so there won't be any extra echoes in it.

The piano calibration feels good too.

And all this, it's actually just a thousand euros a month?

Fu Tiao looked at everything in front of him, couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and asked.

"Anyway...... Why is this place so cheap? What about the owner? This room, this piano, everything is not simply arranged, it is obvious that the landlord has a careful design, why does he not live there? He ......"

"Because this place is the home of a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts."

Wu Tian smiled at Fu Tuo and spoke.

"He recently went to the Zurich Conservatory in Switzerland, and was hired as a professor there, he struggled for a while, and he also got a name at the Freiburg Conservatory, running on both sides, and earning a lot more than in Berlin, so he planned to rent out his house in Berlin, the original price was 2,000 euros, I remember......"

"So why ......"

Without waiting for Fu to finish speaking, Wu Tian interrupted and explained.

"Because of you!"

"Me?"

"The professor's first intention was to sell this house and see who wanted to buy it in the conservatory, but all the professors have their own well-designed houses, so they can't sell them, they can only rent them, and the two thousand euros for rent are too expensive, I just got the information from Principal Zhou San at that time, so I went to ask and asked if it could be cheaper if Fu transferred you to rent."

"And he agreed?"

"yes, and then he agreed, very readily."

Wu Tian grinned.

"1,000 euros, not including your water, electricity and heating, you pay for these yourself, you can use the piano as you like, even if this house is a cold rent of 1,000 euros, it is already very good, and the market price is normally faster than 2,000 euros."

"But that's not the point, the price is just a small discount that the professor gave you."

"The focus is on ......"

He raised a finger at Fu Tuo and whispered mysteriously.

"The key is to rent instead of buying, this house is about 500,000 euros, you don't want to buy it after renting, you can run away, but if you want to buy, the full amount you pay later can offset all the money you rented before, that is, you rent 12,000 a year, rent 120,000 for 10 years, and if you want to buy it after 10 years, you only need to pay 380,000."

"But he has one condition, that is, the house he rents to you can only be rented by you alone, not to other people, otherwise the rent must be according to the market price, and will not give you any discount, after all, he gave you such a house for the sake of your face, and others will not give it to him if they want it."

"How? Think about it? ”

Fu Tiao looked at Wu Tian in front of him, and then glanced at the scenery outside the window.

Berlin is really beautiful, full of greenery, especially when the cool breeze blows, standing on the balcony and looking out the window at the gold, the mood is naturally much more relaxed.

Therefore, he looked at Wu Tian and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, that's it."

This place you can see with a live map.

I have been recommended to this house before, and I have been to see it on the spot, but the rent is too expensive, I am reluctant, I am here to study and it is not exclusive, why live in such an expensive house......

But I live near this place, just across a few traffic lights, although the balcony view is not as good as this place, but the same quiet, the point is cheap, a month all add up to 700 euros, although compared to other people in the suburbs of the local area of the single room 500 euros expensive a lot, but in the vicinity where I live, it is already a more conscientious and cheap price.

In addition, Tagore Airport ceased operations in November 2022 and became a public park for free visits.
