Chapter 348

“Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.”

A middle-aged man wearing glasses couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the lively students.

"Director Wang, thank you for your hard work." Qin Shaoyan greeted the middle-aged man enthusiastically.

"No matter how hard it is, it is not as hard as the teachers and staff leading the team. They are busy and care more about the students than the parents." Director Wang said with emotion, "I also want to thank your company for its thoughtful and meticulous preparation, which saved us a lot of effort and trouble."

"I would also like to thank President Qin for providing such a good study environment and convenience for the students."

"This is what we should do. The leaders, schools, and parents have entrusted the students to us, so we naturally have to do our best." Qin Shaoyan said modestly, "Without the coordination and help of the organization, and without the care and guidance of the leaders, the study tour plan would not have been carried out so smoothly."

To be honest, the education department did provide a lot of help for the "International College Student Summer Camp" activity.

For example, we help with students’ passport visas, flight coordination, and contact local embassies and consulates for assistance.

This study tour program is not as simple as taking people out for a walk, it also involves a lot of tedious and detailed logistical work.

Qin Shaoyan asked Facebook to spend a lot of money. At first, it seemed like nothing, but when he got close to the group, he found that there were many unexpected trivial troubles.

In addition to the four basic issues of clothing, food, housing and transportation, there are also various risk plans.

The security team that prepared the plan even took into account force majeure factors such as terrorist attacks, coups, earthquakes, etc. that might occur in the countries through which the study tour passes.

Qin Shaoyan sighed that the security team was expensive for a reason, and just looking at this plan he felt it was great value for money.

Anyway, Facebook was paying for it, and the campus network was only responsible for part of the expenses of the Chinese university delegation, so Qin Shaoyan didn't feel bad at all.

It's not shameful to spend American investors' money.

Director Wang glanced at the furtive crowd not far away and said, "It's not all good in foreign countries."

"We are all human beings. There is no difference between Chinese and foreigners." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "The problems in China are the same as those abroad."

"It's better to come out and broaden your horizons." Director Wang was sent by the Ministry of Education. He is about 35 or 36 years old. He had been working in universities before and has only been working in the Ministry of Education for five years. He has never been abroad.

Joining the group seems like a lucrative job, but Director Wang now knows that this seemingly good job also involves considerable risks.

Although he has no experience of traveling abroad, he traveled frequently during the winter and summer vacations in college.

Everyone must have heard about the social situation in the 20s. There were more chaotic things happening near tourist attractions than years later, and they were even more rampant.

Therefore, Director Wang’s social experience can be said to be quite rich.

The Chinese delegation has thirty college students, plus the teachers and staff leading the team, plus people from the campus network and Qvod, nearly fifty people in total. It is quite difficult to lead the delegation well.

What I fear most is going abroad, not being able to adapt to the climate and being unfamiliar with the place. If anything happens to any student, my career will basically be over.

Therefore, Director Wang did not dare to treat this work as a tour, and he never took his eyes off the students in the team.

Seeing Director Wang's nervous look, Qin Shaoyan smiled and said nothing.

Having a serious and responsible teammate is much better than having a stupid teammate, otherwise you never know when the stupid teammate will give you a big trouble.

Soon the student team from Italian universities met up with the Chinese university student delegation. The two sides greeted each other politely in front of the ancient Roman Colosseum and then exchanged gifts.

The domestic university student representatives were all excellent students selected from various universities. I don’t know if they have connections, but they are definitely of high quality. At least I could speak English and communicate with the Italian student representatives. Although it was a bit awkward, we still had some interactions.

Then the tour guide began to explain the history and customs of various cultural attractions, and the first itinerary of the study tour plan got off to a good start.

Compared with the reserved domestic college students, the Italian student representatives were much more active. Plus, they were at home, so they shouted and took photos with their cameras, checking in everywhere.

Some even took photos with Chinese college students and prepared to upload them to their Facebook accounts.

Cameras are a luxury for college students. Only a few students have cameras in their hands, and the other students can only watch others taking pictures with envy.

Qin Shaoyan then instructed a staff member, "Find someone who sells cameras and buy a batch of cameras to ensure that every student has one."

Zhang Pingyi next to him was a little surprised, "The camera must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"I'm lending it to students, not giving it away as a gift. Besides, they are the cheapest cameras, how much can they cost?" Qin Shaoyan said with emotion, "We have to let them keep some memories."

Zhang Pingyi did not comment on this. He said with some concern: "The next stop is Germany. Those people with connections are coming soon."

"It's good that you came." Qin Shaoyan showed a strange smile, "To be honest, I thought they came too late. These are all excellent teachers."

Zhang Pingyi instinctively felt that Qin Shaoyan was planning something big, but he also wondered if he was overthinking it.

What good can a few university professors do?
"Edward." Qin Shaoyan called out.

Edward soon appeared, "Boss, the stage in Germany is ready, waiting for the guests to take their seats?"

"Have you found all the actors?" Qin Shaoyan asked.

"Don't worry, I personally selected these two actors." Edward said proudly, "They are first-rate in speech and debate, and they will definitely put on a wonderful performance."

"I'm looking forward to it." Qin Shaoyan said with emotion.

Zhang Pingyi frowned, "Boss Qin, what are you going to do? Our study tour plan is of great importance, you must not mess around!"

"Don't worry, I won't." Qin Shaoyan said in a relaxed tone, "I just want to invite a few respected professors to give classes to college students from various countries."

"Teaching?" Zhang Pingyi was puzzled. "What kind of classes can these professors teach?"

"Master Zhang, have you seen Yilin?" Qin Shaoyan suddenly asked back.

"Yilin?" Zhang Pingyi was stunned for a moment, "Have you seen it?"

"What about Readers and Youth Digest?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.

"I've flipped through a few books." Zhang Pingyi was even more confused.

"Not bad, not bad." Qin Shaoyan smiled even brighter. "These are all good books. You should read more of them to better understand the world."

“You don’t know until you read it. The world is so wonderful.”

Zhang Pingyi just felt confused. Why would someone bring up this thing for no reason?
"I think since these books are so good, why not share them with college students from other countries?" Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Yilin has said that people abroad like to read. Since they like to read, we should recommend good books to the world."
