Chapter 219 The Meaning of Money

Along the way, Qin Zi was always skeptical about Jing Jian's judgment. Jing Jian just smiled and quickly led the topic to other places. Distance produces beauty, and some ideas take time to change.

Sure enough, Qin Zi was soon attracted by the beauty of Hamburg City. Of course, it was similar to what Jing Jian said. The main attractions were churches, theaters and other classic European buildings. After walking around the hotel, Qin Zi was already lingering. Anyway, this "holiday" was long and time was enough, so Jing Jian was ready to satisfy her playing heart.

...

Hamburg, Hamburg, is a beautiful port city in northern Germany. It is the second largest city in Germany, second only to its capital Berlin. Of course, Berlin was divided into two halves by East and West Germany, so in fact, Hamburg became the largest city in Germany at that time (including East and West Germany, which will not be repeated in the future).

As a large city and the most important port in northern Germany, Hamburg is located at the entrance of the Elbe River, the Ulster and the Baltic River, and is very close to the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Seaships can sail from the North Sea along the Elbe River to Hamburg. The main road and two branches of the Elbe River run across the city. The Ulster River, the Biel River and hundreds of rivers and small canals form a dense network of rivers and channels throughout the city. Therefore, Hamburg Port is a river and a dual-use port, becoming an important hub for the intermodal transport of rivers and seas, seas and land in Europe.

Historically, Hamburg Port's ocean shipping and trade exchanges have expanded to Asia, Africa and the Americas. In the early 20th century, its maritime throughput ranked third in the world, second only to London and New York at that time.

However, after World War II, Hamburg Port began to enter a long period of recession. An iron curtain caused Hamburg Port to lose its vast market in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and was surpassed by famous European ports such as Rotterdam and Anderp.

This is why Jing Jian chose Hamburg City. To have bloody waste and leak detection, one must first gain a foothold in Hamburg. The key to gaining a foothold is two points - shipping and ports.

Another point is also very important. As an international big city, more than 10% of Hamburg's permanent residents are foreigners, and there are countless foreign companies. Among them, there are mixed together, and it was even one of the frontlines of the East and West underground spy war at that time. White lotus requires such a complex environment, and many things can be completed quietly and secretly; there are many relationships and they also need to be established slowly.

...

"Xiao Jian, look, look." pointed to the distance, Qin Zi was very happy, "That's a castle, a European castle."

I admired the castle on the shore of Lake Neast, and under the rippling water, it showed its magnificent and noble temperament. It was indeed not easy. During World War II, Hamburg was almost razed to the ground by Allied bombers, and almost all the buildings were gone. I didn't expect that this castle could still survive intact.

He smiled and patted Qin Zi's waist: "Go to have a German meal, and there is still a jet lag. Don't worry, I have nothing to do this time, and I can concentrate on playing with you. If you like it, just take a few photos here?"

"Okay, okay. Uh? Look, there is a boat there, and I want to take a photo of the boat in."

"Haha, understand."

"Wait, Xiao Jian."

"Um?"

"You come here too, let's take a photo."

“…”

In a restaurant, Qin Zi was already "scared" and stunned when he looked at the mountain of meat on the dining table. Jing Jian smiled and introduced to Qin Zi: "Remember, go to a traditional German restaurant and have two people to have a meal, and order a full meal is enough."

"But you just ordered one?" Qin Zi laughed while saying, "We must not finish eating. Is the Germans' appetite that big?"

"It's like the Germans think that Chinese people dare to eat anything."

"What should I do if I can't finish it?"

"You can take it away. You can borrow a microwave when you go to the hotel. So don't force it? Haha."

"I thought you would throw it away. Sometimes I really feel sorry for your big hands and feet." Qin Zi quickly adapted to her new identity and regarded Jing Jian's money as the money of "our family".

Jing Jian smiled: "Don't worry, my money is enough for our wealthy life. However, saving and thrifty are also good."

"Why is it still so hard?" Qin Zi was a little puzzled, "Looking at you being busy and having to travel around the world, can't you enjoy life? Xiaojian, I'm actually easy to maintain. I have a small house and a living expenses for going to the supermarket. Well... it's best to have a car, and it's better to have a cheap second-hand one. Oh, it's best to travel once a year. It seems..."

"Hahaha." Jing Jian laughed, "How to say, why do you need to make money? And the more the better? In fact, there are only four words - wealth and awesomeness! Think about the troublesomeness of getting a visa when we came to Europe this time? If we didn't hire an agent for a high price and apply for a tourist visa, we might still stay in Los Angeles in the New Year. Just a business visa is so difficult? Why? It's just because we are both Chinese. Alas, the country is poor and backward, so we have to discriminate and be beaten.

If a person has no money? That is even more sad. Just look at the miscellaneous work we Chinese students do? The pride of heaven has less income than those illegal immigrants in Latin America? This is not cynical. Believe me, my ideological level is not as high as the level of selfless dedication to the country. I am just very dissatisfied and can't help but breathe. I can't control the whole of China, but I just want to do it, even if we fart, no one dares to say it is stinky in person..."

"It's so dirty, I'm having a meal." Qin Zi said furiously. Thinking of the domineering aura that Jing Jian showed just now, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and his delicate body slowly became hot.

While eating the flavored roasted sausage, Jing Jian continued: "I didn't know the meaning of money before. I thought I had made a little money, so I invested more money. The numbers continued to increase, and I spent all my life and wine every day. I competed for wealth and slapped people in the face. Later I realized that it was right, not completely right. In fact, money is meaningful and has great significance!"

Jing Jian gradually thought of his past life. When he rose, his level was only one acre and three-point land around him. Even the broken garden in Huaqing could not squeeze into it, let alone looking at the world. In the end, he was already rich, but China was also as strong as it was, and he had many feelings and could not even understand it.

However, in this life, as I was admitted to Huaqing, my horizons suddenly became broader, and I also suddenly felt so much unwillingness and grievances. In fact, one thing is the final analysis - the weak country and the people are ashamed of the people!
