You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 351

It was not until seven o'clock in the evening that the bus driver, obeying traffic rules, drove into the city of Berlin and stopped in front of the booked hotel.

The teacher in charge began to guide the college students to line up and get off the bus and go to the hotel front desk to check in.

A staff member stayed behind to negotiate with the bus driver, protested against his lateness, and demanded that he must be on time for the next trip, otherwise he would be replaced.

The bus driver said nonchalantly, "If it weren't for your request, I could have brought you here on time. I did it according to your request. The delay cannot be blamed on me."

The staff member was furious and retorted righteously: "You were late before you came to the airport. If you could arrive earlier, we wouldn't have to risk running a red light."

"If you're late again tomorrow, we'll fire you."

The bus driver snorted, "Okay, see you tomorrow then."

The reason why he was late was that he secretly took another job to transport a group of tourists, which led to his lateness.

After all, you have to make money.

The staff member turned back to Qin Shaoyan and said cautiously: "Boss, I have already warned the driver, and he said he will be here on time tomorrow."

Qin Shaoyan glanced at the bus going away and asked, "Can we change the driver tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid not." The staff member said helplessly, "If we want to change the driver, we need to contact him again, which will take at least two days."

Qin Shaoyan glanced at him, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence, "Edward, you handle it."

Edward immediately walked over to the staff member and warned him in a low voice: "If you still want to keep your job, contact a new driver right now."

"The boss wants to see a punctual driver tomorrow. I don't care what method you use, OK?"

The delegations, who were tired and hungry along the way, finally had their meal. Seeing the large number of dishes being served on the table, everyone couldn't help but salivate.

German cuisine is heavy in flavor, large in portion, wild in cooking, and rough in appearance. Germans love pork, and there are many pork-based dishes in the cuisine.

Königsberg meatballs, grilled sausages, roasted pig's trotters, German beef rolls, and bread made for a satisfying meal for everyone.

After dinner, the Chinese students, led by their teachers, went back to their rooms to rest, while students from other countries went out in groups to find a place to have fun.

The three expert professors returned to the room to rest for a while and then got together again. The bumpy and boring journey made them feel a little bored. In addition, they had just had a full meal, so they became more active.

Director Sun was the first to ask, "Germany is a developed country, and it is advanced in all aspects, especially the tertiary industry, which should be more developed."

Professor Feng nodded. "Yes, I have heard that Germany is very developed, but I don't know much about the tertiary industry. I often go to Japan."

Professor He said proudly, "I have been to Germany twice. The entertainment industry in Germany is indeed unique. However, German laws are still a bit rigid. But the Germans also have ways to make changes. For example, the Netherlands and Poland have taken over a lot of tertiary industries."

Director Sun was a little curious. "I heard that the relevant industry is well developed in the Netherlands, but I didn't expect that Poland also has it. How is the quality?"

Professor He said calmly: "It's OK, but the exotic flavor makes it more interesting."

Director Sun's eyes lit up, "Then let's go for a walk and learn some foreign languages."

Professor Feng was even more impatient, "It's good to learn a foreign language, and you should study it as soon as possible."

Professor He hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't worry about this for now. Let's ask first. The cost of learning foreign languages ​​should be reimbursed by the event organizer."

"Of course you can." Director Sun patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

……

Qin Shaoyan was discussing some itinerary matters with Zhang Pingyi and Edward in the room when there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Pingyi stood up and opened the door, only to find that it was Director Wang standing outside.

"Director Wang, you haven't rested yet?" Zhang Pingyi let Director Wang in. "Please sit down. What would you like to drink?"

"No thanks." Director Wang politely refused and turned to look at Qin Shaoyan, "I'm here to see Mr. Qin. It's really a bit presumptuous to disturb you so late at night."

"It's okay, it's okay. We are used to going to bed late. Director Wang, is there anything I can help you with?" Qin Shaoyan asked curiously.

Director Wang hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhang Pingyi and Edward, and said, "Boss Qin, can I have a few words with you alone?"

"Okay." Qin Shaoyan made a gesture to Edward Zhang Pingyi, and the two of them got up and walked out.

Director Wang seemed to be having a hard time speaking, and said awkwardly, "Director Sun came to me just now and said that the three scholars wanted to go out alone to investigate and they hoped that we could arrange a car for them."

"Go out for a walk?" Qin Shaoyan was a little confused. "Didn't we agree to travel together with the group? What are they going to do?"

Director Wang gritted his teeth and said, "They want to go to the Netherlands and Poland. I hope Mr. Qin can reimburse them."

"..." Qin Shaoyan was very surprised. He didn't expect that these three people would have such thoughts.

Director Wang felt embarrassed when he saw Qin Shaoyan didn't say anything. What the hell was going on?

Although Director Sun didn't say what they were going to do, Director Wang was no child and the inspection was just an excuse.

How could he not have heard of what the Netherlands is most famous for?
Isn’t it just to investigate the red-light district?

But they can't even say that the organizers have to pay for visiting the red light district.

"Oh, about this matter." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "Since Director Wang has spoken, I will discuss it with Facebook."

"Don't." Director Wang said quickly, "Boss Qin, please don't force me. I'm just conveying their request to leave the group and move freely. It's none of my business."

"Understood." Qin Shaoyan quickly changed his tone, "This is their own request. It has nothing to do with Director Wang."

"Director Wang, please go back first and don't say anything to them. Just pretend you don't know anything and let them make their own requests."

When Director Wang heard this, he smiled and felt relieved. This matter was really disgusting.

Originally, he was just leading a tour group to travel around with the students, but he never expected that Director Sun would come to his house and ask him to pass on a message.

It's not right to do this, and it's even more wrong to do it.

Director Wang went back in a happy mood. As soon as he left, Qin Shaoyan called Edward over and gave him secret instructions.

Edward showed a sly smile on his face and patted his chest to promise that this matter would be done.

……

Director Sun waited and waited but there was no news from Director Wang, so he became impatient and went to question Director Wang.

Director Wang was stunned. "Director Sun, this activity is of great concern to the organization. All activities of the group members must be reported. You cannot leave the group and act on your own. This is a requirement of organizational discipline." "You three are going to go out for an inspection. According to the regulations, you must report it."

Director Sun said impatiently: "What do you want to report? Don't we have any autonomy when we go out? We are free to go wherever we want."

"Director Wang, are you going to report us? Do you want to snitch?"

Director Wang was helpless. "Director Sun, you misunderstood me. I am here for work. According to the schedule, you have to give lectures to students from all over the world. How can you give lectures when you are not here?"

"We'll be in Germany for a few days, right?" Director Sun said nonchalantly. "It's no big deal to give a lecture on the last day. Besides, we also need to do some research and study first, so that we can have a clear idea of ​​what to do."

“Otherwise, without the materials, our lectures to students will be empty.”

Director Wang frowned. "The embassy will also send people to attend tomorrow's event. If the embassy people come and find that you three are not here, how should I answer them when they ask about it?"

Director Sun was stunned for a moment and was very surprised: "Why are there people from the embassy?"

"For such a large event, the embassy will definitely send people to participate." Director Wang said, "Let's wait until tomorrow to talk about it."

When Director Sun asked again, the answer he got was also official-sounding. He didn't say either agree or disagree, but just insisted that they attend the event tomorrow.

Seeing that Director Wang refused to give in, Director Sun went back in a depressed mood.

The next day, the three experts and scholars arrived at the event on time and found that Director Wang had not lied to them. The embassy really sent people to participate in the event and had some exchanges with the students.

As soon as the embassy people left, the three experts could no longer hold back, but they found that Director Wang was nowhere to be found.

So Director Sun asked the teacher in charge with a dark face: "Where is Director Wang?"

The teacher in charge replied: "Director Wang is with the people from the embassy."

"What about that person from the domestic campus network?" Director Sun continued to ask.

"They all left together because they had something to discuss." The leading teacher replied.

"Is there anyone in charge?" Director Sun frowned.

“The Facebook staff is still there.”

Director Sun was overjoyed, so he directly found the Facebook staff and communicated with them with the help of a translator.

Unexpectedly, Facebook was very responsive and immediately arranged a car and driver for them to take them away.

As soon as the car left, another car followed.

……

The students began their visits according to the itinerary, including famous universities such as the Technical University of Berlin, Humboldt University of Berlin, and Free University of Berlin.

In a classroom at Humboldt University of Berlin, famous scholars attended and began to give lectures to college students from various countries.

The main content is full of various politically correct yet not too sensitive topics, such as environmental protection, women's rights, the Antarctic ozone hole, and global warming.

It was the first time for Chinese college students to participate in such a high-end event, and they listened attentively.

The lectures on environmental protection had a great impact on the students. They all took notes seriously and felt that they should promote the content when they returned.

But the topic of the second class was a little strange. The lecturer was a middle-aged lady named Schmidt, who talked about European women's rights issues.

However, this lady's angle of approach is very tricky, talking about the oppression of lower-class women by the European porn industry.

Based on her own investigation and officially released data, she gave a detailed explanation, revealing the dark side to these college students.

The impact and shock this course brought to Chinese university students was unimaginable. It was the first time they were exposed to the dark side of the world.

When talking about the red-light district in the Netherlands, some public intellectuals say that it is a symbol of freedom, and that the legalization of the pornographic industry has eliminated sexual crimes, and that practitioners have regular physical examinations and business licenses, as if this industry is some kind of high-welfare job.

Schmidt pointed out that very few of these practitioners do this job voluntarily; they are forced into this profession for various reasons, such as loan sharking.

But the largest source is human trafficking.

Schmidt also cited a United Nations report that human trafficking is the third largest illegal trade after arms and drugs.

Since the Netherlands legalized the porn industry in 2000, it has not only failed to eliminate crime, but has instead brought about more crime, especially drug and human trafficking.

Prostitution, gambling and drugs are like shadows that follow one's every move. Once prostitution is introduced, the other two will follow.

In order to increase their income, practitioners have become middle suppliers for drug dealers, either actively or passively.

In order to expand their business, wealthy drug dealers have also started to engage in larger-scale global pimping and human trafficking business, and young women with a little bit of good looks from all over the world have become their prey.

Countless women have been controlled by drugs and violence and become part of the industry.

The most common source is Romania. Ms. Schmidt used the story of a Romanian victim as an example, describing in detail how the victim stepped into hell step by step.

After hearing this, the Chinese students felt a chill in their hearts. They had never imagined that in Europe, a place full of prosperous and developed countries, there could be such dark things.

After listening to the lecture, everyone felt very heavy-hearted and began to reflect on why the world was different from what they had imagined.

During the following itinerary, although we saw the advanced and developed side of Germany, everyone was still thinking about Ms. Schmidt's lecture.

After visiting Germany for two days, the entire summer camp set off for Paris, France.

After leaving Germany, the depression that had been weighing on our hearts finally dissipated, and everyone began to look forward to the trip to Paris.

After all, romantic Paris is world-famous, with the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the scenery of the Seine River, and the treasures of the Louvre. As the fashion capital, Paris is shrouded in all kinds of halos.

But when the bus arrived at the banks of the Seine, as soon as everyone got off the bus, they suddenly smelled a mixture of various pungent and indescribable smells.

"what is this?"

"Is this the Seine?"

"Why is it different from what I thought?!"

"Isn't it said that the scenery of the Seine is particularly beautiful?"

Everyone stared at the muddy and filthy river water in amazement. Only the various small boats constantly shuttling back and forth in the river barely matched their perception.

Is this Paris?
Why is it different from what I imagined?
