Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 357: No Money, But Life

Hearing Fang Lan's words, he glanced at her and chuckled, "Just stay here and don't mention the money. How can you pay back what you owe me?"

"Hey, how come I owe you something?" Fang Lan pouted unconvincedly. She wanted to argue with Lin Chen and turned her body around.

"Hmph, having a handsome guy like me by your side requires hourly charges! You've already owed me hundreds of billions, but I just didn't tell you. Don't take it as a non-event!" Lin Chen said with a smile, his eyes fixed ahead.

Fang Lan laughed and said, "On the other hand, you also owe me hundreds of billions! Let's be even now!"

Lin Chen also laughed and stopped talking.

Soon, they arrived at the airport, and their colleagues had already arrived. They were all wearing colorful clothes, as beautiful as flags.

Because it was a tour, no one wore business attire, including the manager.

The team was led by Fang Lan's immediate superior, the new manager Little Penguin.

Of course, this is not his real name, but his nickname, because he looks like a penguin because of his round belly and smiling face all day long.

"Little Penguin - oh no, hello, manager!" Fang Lan said, covering her mouth and laughing.

"Just be naughty!" The manager poked Fang Lan's face gently. Their relationship was as close as that of siblings.

Fang Lan pretended to take a step back after being poked, then laughed, "As expected of a wild animal from Antarctica, it's really strong!"

"Haha!" Everyone laughed.

"Okay, I'll leave first if it's okay. Have a nice journey!" After Lin Chen said that, he kissed Fang Lan gently, then turned and left.

"Oh, we missed it, we've lost a lot this time!" A colleague joked, gently nudged Fang Lan and said with a smile, "You didn't even introduce us to a boyfriend, and you let such a handsome guy go!"

"I really want to take him back and play with him!" Fang Lan smiled and avoided everyone. Although she felt a little itchy, the slippery feeling brought by the friction of her body was quite comfortable. However, she still avoided them. After all, it was not appropriate in public places.

"Haha, how can we take it back?" The colleague stopped teasing her and said with a smile. At this time, the plane arrived and the manager took everyone to board the plane.

This time we took Airbus flight A-2418, whose huge fuselage was quite similar to that of a Boeing 747.

"When will our country's large aircraft be put into commercial operation?" Fang Lan said to herself as she looked at the beautiful large aircraft.

"The C919 is about to be assembled successfully and will soon be delivered to China Eastern Airlines. So, maybe the next time we go abroad, we will be able to take a plane from our own country!" Ellis said with a smile.

"This is great news! I have to upgrade my cabin to celebrate!" Fang Lan said with a smile.

"What class do you want to upgrade? We're already in business class." Ellis said with a smile, "Do you want to upgrade to the cockpit?"

"Haha, then why not just fly up to the wings of the plane!" The little penguin turned around and said with a smile, "Facing the blue sky and white clouds, overlooking the mountains and green waters, and if the plane flies high, you can also experience the high-altitude cold current, how great!"

"Then I might as well just die." Fang Lan laughed and stopped talking.

Soon they boarded the plane, which soared freely through the clouds like a giant balloon. A few hours later, they arrived at their destination.

When Fang Lan and others got off the plane, it was just lunch time.

"Let's have a meal at the airport." The little penguin turned around and smiled at everyone.

"Okay." Everyone nodded in agreement and headed straight to the business street in the airport.

They chose a beef brisket restaurant called "Newton is Here!" and each ordered a bowl of beef soup and a few pancakes.

"Each meal is 158 yuan. Please pay first. Thank you." The waiter said with a smile.

After everyone paid, Ellis smacked his lips and said, "I hope the quantity isn't too small, or I'll have to settle the bill with the owner of this store. 158 yuan, my goodness, my monthly salary is only 2500 yuan."

"How do you spend your monthly salary?" Fang Lan suddenly became interested in this topic and asked her as she sat down.

"The rent is 1500 yuan, and the rest is for food, water, electricity, commuting, and buying some daily necessities." Ellis pouted and said, "It's all spent every month!"

"It's good for you this way." Fang Lan said with a smile, "If you have a lot of savings, then you have to worry about your money wherever you go. It's not as easy as it is now."

"Well, I don't have any money, but I have a life." Ellis smiled and shrugged. At this moment, she looked like an American from West 5. "Whatever!"

The last sentence sounded like a Northeastern person from District 8, and Fang Lan and Ellis both laughed.

Soon, the food arrived. The light beef soup tasted very delicious.

There were also three pancakes, each as big as a palm, steaming hot and tasted delicious.

Alice and Fang Lan are both girls who love beauty and pay great attention to body management. They are not big eaters, so these foods are just right for them. But the little penguin next to them feels that he is not full.

The little penguin said angrily: "Damn it, I spent the money of ten bags of rice and couldn't even have a full meal. I have to settle the bill with them!"

Everyone laughed again, and laughed even harder as they watched the little penguin angrily pour as much chili oil and vinegar as possible into the pot.

"You're not trying to settle the score with the store owner. Be careful not to kill yourself!" Ellis teased him while eating.

Everyone laughed again. Then the waiter came over with a plate of beef pies, bowed and said with a smile: "We are sorry to have cost you so much. The rent at the airport is too high, and we have no choice. This is a free pie for you, I hope you can eat it."

The little penguin was so happy that he nodded repeatedly. At this moment, he really felt that the store owner was like a family member and almost wanted to kiss him.

After finishing their meal, the group went out to take the bus.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, had nothing to do and for a moment he felt the pleasure of having money and free time.

He suddenly thought: What's the point of having such huge deposits if they can't be used for consumption? Is it just for a deposit slip? Can't I just photoshop one myself?

"If you have money, spend it. If you don't have money, stay at home. I can't let my money grow mold in the bank. I'm not short of mushrooms to eat." Lin Chen thought to himself, so he drove his Tesla out to buy a lot of things. The car was speeding on the road. The villa was located in the suburbs, and there were few vehicles on the road, so he increased the speed to the maximum.

Tesla is indeed the leader among electric vehicles. When the speed reached its peak, Lin Chen felt that his face was deformed by the wind, like a balloon being beaten.

But the feeling of soaring into the sky is really great.

After driving for a while, other vehicles began to appear on the road. Lin Chen slowed down and began to think about where to go and what to do.

He doesn't want to eat himself into a fat man, nor does he want to get involved in bad activities such as pornography, gambling, and drugs.

He thinks that the script-killing and other board game stores on the market are too low-level, and karaoke in karaoke bars can be played at home, which is nothing new.

He is tired of playing in billiard halls and other places. He often goes to other sports venues to exercise, otherwise he would not have eight-pack abs. Recently, he has no interest in these things.

When I think about it this way, it seems like there is really nothing to do!

"Why not go traveling!" Lin Chen thought, "The world is so big, I want to see it."

This was a good opportunity to test the quality of Tesla's cars. Lin Chen thought it was great, so he drove it recklessly.

Fang Lan left the airport and her next stop was their local St. Paul's Cathedral.

The sun was shining brightly, making the Eastern European classical buildings sparkle. On the cobblestone road, some pigeons stood in a row along the river bank, basking in the sun and cleaning themselves from time to time.

"They stood in a line, and there happened to be a pigeon on each pillar, just like the lions on the Marco Polo Bridge," Ellis laughed.

"This really shows style and level!" After Fang Lan finished speaking, both of them laughed.

Inside the cathedral, more than a dozen colorful glazed windows rise high into the clouds. The sunlight shining through the windows is analyzed into colorful colors, like gorgeous rainbows.

Under each window is a statue of a saint.

"In fact, I think Christianity and cults are sometimes quite similar." Fang Lan said calmly while looking at Jesus on the cross. "This cult leader was also executed after being tried by the local court. Isn't it the same with dealing with cult leaders now? How many Christians have been martyred over the years? How many religious wars have there been? Cults are no more than that."

"In fact, I don't think the saying 'good and evil cannot coexist' is entirely correct." Ellis said softly, with a faint smile on his face. "Good and evil are more like two sides of the same coin, difficult to separate." He lowered his voice and reminded jokingly, "Speak softly, don't let those believers hear you, otherwise I will have to argue with you."

Fang Lan didn't want to cause herself unnecessary trouble, so she changed the subject and focused on appreciating the breathtaking architectural art around her and exploring the rich cultural history of Europe in depth.

Soon after, they walked out of the building and went to visit the local orphanage.

"This is the first time I've heard of a tour group going to an orphanage." Fang Lan said with a smile, a hint of ridicule in her tone, "Is this considered a cross-border charity?"

"You haven't realized the true meaning of it yet." The little penguin turned around and smiled at her, "The customs and habits of each place are created by the people there. So, what is really worth traveling for is to visit the local people. In places like orphanages, people are usually very enthusiastic and will not refuse our visits. Moreover, we bring gifts, so they will definitely welcome us. This is the best place for us to communicate with the locals."

"Oh, that's how it is." Fang Lan suddenly realized and laughed.

The orphanage is located in a quiet place, surrounded by tall plane trees.

The path is deep and full of laughter. If it weren't for the sign at the door, people would probably mistake it for an ordinary kindergarten.

The principal had been informed of their arrival in advance, so when the tour group arrived, the nurses brought the children out to greet them warmly.

The eyes of these European children are like cats' eyes, colorful, and their hair is also golden, red, black, brown, white, etc. Standing together, they look like a beautiful rainbow.

"The color of your eyes is similar to your national flag." Fang Lan said to a little girl with a smile, of course, she used fluent English.

The little girl had red hair, a clean face without freckles, shiny hair, and brown eyes. After listening to Fang Lan's words, she nodded and smiled, "Yes, sister, you have a great eye!" Of course, she also used English.

The group walked into the orphanage and played many games with the children.

We played until the evening, and then everyone reluctantly left and went to the hotel to rest.

The hotel is only a dozen meters away from the orphanage and is a small two-story Western-style building.

There are several wolfberry plants planted downstairs. Now is the time when the fruits are ripe, and they are bright red like strings of small lanterns.

There was a street lamp in the yard and a sign hanging on it with "Friends Hotel" written in the local language.

Next to the friend’s hostel, there are two little men drawn, one wearing glasses and the other not. They are arm in arm and look very happy, just like the Haier Brothers.

The owner of the hotel was a warm and enthusiastic old man with a big beard. He smiled and led everyone to find a room and helped carry the luggage. Then, he asked the kitchen to prepare the meal. Soon, the group sat in front of the TV and had a midnight snack.

This country is located by the sea, so the main night snack is seafood. In the center of the table, there are more than a dozen golden and bright red crabs, dotted with chili peppers, shiny and fragrant. Around them are shrimps, shrimp paste, caviar, grilled meat, grilled fish, grilled tomatoes, grilled peppers, grilled eggplants and other delicacies. In addition, there are thick meat sauce soup, rice porridge, beer, bread and white rice for people to enjoy.

"It's really rich." Fang Lan smiled as she looked at the midnight snack, then looked up at the little penguin and said, "Now you don't have to worry about being hungry."

"Well, everyone, eat to your heart's content!" The little penguin waved his arms and said, "Even if nothing else, this meal alone cost the company several thousand dollars, all of which was earned through hard work over the years. Besides, the boss is so enthusiastic, we can't let him down."

Everyone smiled and nodded, watching European entertainment programs on TV and chatting. The meal lasted half an hour, and everyone was satisfied in the end.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. However, Alex couldn't sleep, so he invited Fang Lan to go stargazing with him.

The night in Europe is not much different from the night in Linhai. The lights are bright, the city looks like a sea of ​​stars, and the stars in the sky are relatively scarce.

After watching the stars for a while, they felt a little bored and prepared to go back to their room to sleep. But they felt that they still had energy, so they decided to go out for a night walk.

"Let's do it quietly and don't disturb our colleagues." Ellis said with a smile.

Fang Lan stretched herself and agreed with a smile. Like little mice stealing food, the two of them quietly put on their down jackets and slipped out the door.
