Chapter 1,273 Expensive Cannes(2/2)

Whether you are enjoying the scenery or eating and shopping, this place is not to be missed.

In the green belt in the middle of the street, flowers bloom all year round, and the vibrant palm trees under the sun can almost be regarded as a symbol of Cannes.

You should know that the highest award at the Cannes International Film Festival is the "Palme d'Or", and the trophy is a golden palm branch, which is derived from the palm trees that can be seen everywhere in Cannes.

In short, while walking here, the white buildings, the blue sea, and the rows of tall green trees contrast with each other, forming a beautiful natural scenery.

For this reason, both Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko felt that it was "exquisite, elegant and charming". Most people's evaluation of Cannes is still very objective.

What particularly satisfies them is that here men and women can get close and express their love openly and openly.

Compared with Japan, the style here is completely different. Most of the men and women on the street hold hands and put their arms around the waist, and there are also many people fighting in the street.

Due to social trends in Japan, they have never walked hand in hand in public.

Now the two of them were walking on the street, kissing each other, holding hands together completely naturally.

This way of doing as the Romans do, enjoying the gentle sea breeze, slowly forgetting your worries, it really feels like a honeymoon.

But again, the problem is that everything is expensive.

A simple set meal from a street food truck can be priced at 110 francs.

A sandwich costs 70 francs, a burger costs 88 francs, and even an ice cream cone costs 50 francs.

The most famous open-air cafes in France are of course more expensive. A cup of coffee costs 20 francs in Paris, which already makes people complain, but the cheapest cup of coffee here costs 60 francs.

What I am talking about is the most normal, most général, most ordinary café without any bells and whistles!

But that’s not the most extreme thing!

The most outrageous thing is that a pot of plain water actually costs 80 francs.

In fact, when Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko passed a coffee shop, they witnessed a table of customers and restaurant people quarreling over it.

The customers seemed to be two locals. They ordered two cups of coffee and a pot of water, but the restaurant brought them a bill of two hundred francs!

So the customers gave up. They seemed to think that boiled water should be provided for free in restaurants in the Cannes area, and such charges were unreasonable.

However, the restaurant very forcefully came up with a special menu for the film festival and confidently asked customers to pay according to the menu.

Although this guy in a white apron and a big beard spoke French so gibberish that I couldn't understand him at all.

But both Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko understood this guy's truth from his exaggerated body movements - the film festival is the price! If you have money, come! If you don't have money, get out!

how to say?

Anyway, according to Ning Weimin's understanding, during the Cannes Film Festival, Cannes locals should not go out to activities.

If you don't have anything to eat at home, then you should be hungry and you deserve to starve to death.

And that's not all, because the film festival is held, Cannes' visitor center and official souvenir shop have special souvenirs for sale.

During the film festival, you even have to queue up to buy souvenirs.

Whether it is an official souvenir shop or a tourist shop selling on behalf of others, almost every shop is overcrowded.

When Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko passed by a tourist store, they walked in to take a look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered, they were shocked by the prices in the store.

One hundred and fifty francs for the official poster, two hundred and sixty francs for the umbrella with Cannes on it, three hundred francs for the commemorative T-shirt, one hundred and fifty francs for the key chain, one hundred and fifty francs for the bracelet with the Palme d'Or, and a record of the event with Cannes on it.

The refrigerator magnet costs 120 francs, and even the postcard costs 25 francs...

How expensive is Cannes?

How much money does the Cannes Film Festival make?

You can get a glimpse of it through these small souvenirs.

This is not inhumane, it is simply inhumane!

It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just that it’s not worth it. It’s an insult to my IQ.

But those Europeans are so stupid that they are willing to pay for it even though it is so expensive.

Just this scene, it really made Ning Weimin's blood boil.

Now he finally understood why the Frenchman, known as "Falcon", was so happy to buy his handicrafts at the Temple of Heaven.

He thought that the price he was asking for was enough, and it was Huang Shiren. It turned out that he was too merciful and he was just running a charity.

The price of a T-shirt here is enough to buy a complete set of silk fabrics and silk fabrics.

In terms of price, even the souvenirs in Disney stores in Japan are inferior. It should be selected as a conscientious company.

This is called not knowing until you see it, and you will be shocked when you see it. It seems that market research is still necessary.

Ning Weimin now feels more and more that the investment value and business potential of Cannes is really great.

Especially the fact that French people don't know how to do business is really cute. It makes him feel that this is a blue ocean of business with great potential.

If only he could extend his business tentacles here, regardless of national sentiment, and only focus on business methods.
