As Lao Bai said, March is the time when all things come to life. Although March has just entered, the temperature is still very low, and there was even a moderate snowfall over the weekend. But when the snow fell to the ground, it turned into spring mud, and the air began to fill with the vague breath of spring.
As soon as Dong Qiangqiang returned home, he saw the package sent by Qin Youbo thrown in front of his door. In the letter, Dong's mother praised Qin Youbo as a fairy-like figure, and asked her son to establish contact with him as soon as possible. It would be best if she could fly to Paris in person to express her gratitude when time is convenient. Dong Qiangqiang could only smile bitterly at Dong's mother's wishful thinking. He sent back a box of German chocolates to the other party's address to express his gratitude, thinking that that was the end of the matter.
Lei Lanting's AIDS test diagnosis certificate finally came out. With the "negative" report result, Lei Lanting knelt down on the ground excitedly, swore with tears that he would never touch the "Feng Yue Bao Jian" again, and then dragged Dong Qiangqiang, Tong Lele, Lao Bai and other people who didn't like to drink. They had a big drink together and got themselves very drunk, and then the matter was finally settled.
However, this time Lei Lanting quickly transferred the commissions of several people to their respective accounts without Dong Qiangqiang's reminder. In return, he asked Dong Qiangqiang to write him a travel summary of the detailed process of the trip, so that it would be convenient for him. He can also gain something from it.
According to his request, Dong Qiangqiang reviewed everything except the Ding Haifeng incident and Lao Bai's discount store in chronological order. On the one hand, he did this to meet Lei Lanting's learning requirements, and on the other hand, he also wanted to revamp their travel website.
As expected, Du Lan flew back to Germany ahead of schedule, but she and Dong Qiangqiang only had a quick meal at Hannover Airport and immediately transferred to Munich. Dong Qiangqiang felt guilty when he saw Du Lan, worried that she would ask him about secretly transferring the group to Lao Bai, but Du Lan never asked a question from beginning to end, as if he didn't care about it. In line with the principle that one thing is worse than one thing less, Dong Qiangqiang did not take the initiative to mention it again.
After communicating with her parents and careful consideration, Tong Lele finally decided to work in Germany for half a year and choose to stay if the situation goes well. If it's hard to make ends meet, just go home. She followed Lao Bai's suggestion and enrolled in the "Shoemaker Driving School" to learn how to drive.
Ding Haifeng did not transfer money to Dong Qiangqiang, but took the initiative to call him. On the phone, he expressed frustration that finding work around Göttingen was not going well and he might not be able to pay back the money in the short term. Dong Qiangqiang had expected this. Göttingen was located in East Germany and had fewer job opportunities than Hannover. He could only comfort him with good words that the future would be long. Ding Haifeng said a lot of thanks from the bottom of his heart and promised that he would not default on the bill. Dong Qiangqiang smiled and hung up the phone.
After making money, Lei Lanting followed Dong Qiangqiang's example and bought a second-hand car, and then went to Fleischer's farm and Scarecrow Winery with Dong Qiangqiang. Both of them now regard traveling as their main business. When there is an ambiguous situation during the hunting process whether they should pursue or not, they will tacitly choose to give up and wait for the next one. Caution prevented both men from getting hurt again, but it also reduced the profits. Fortunately, Fleischer knew how difficult it was to hunt, so he didn't make things difficult for the two of them.
In order to avoid being reported to the police again, Dong Qiangqiang asked Hans to help him consult about the possibility of foreigners joining the Hanover Hunters Club or Shooting Club. As long as his finances allow, he would like to get a shotgun license and a hunter's license so that he is fully prepared. In addition, in order to improve the safety of taking tour groups in the future, he went to the city center to sign up for a training class teaching combat skills. It is said that it was run by a former senior military attaché of the German Special Forces who used his spare time after retirement. When Lei Lanting saw the high registration fee, he was a little stunned and retreated, but when he thought that he might lead a group independently in the future, he still gritted his teeth and signed up with Dong Qiangqiang.
According to the information provided by Dong Yiqing, Dong Qiangqiang and others went to the labor agency she mentioned to register, hoping to find a temporary job as a translator or night security guard at the Hannover Electronics Show CeBIT to earn some extra money. When everyone arrived at the labor agency, they discovered that there was already a long snake-like queue outside the agency.
In addition to a large number of Eastern European faces who looked like they were suffering from chronic malnutrition, there were also some Germans from other states in the team. After chatting, everyone learned that some of the people queuing up were from Berlin, as well as from Leipzig, Göttingen, Dresden, and Magdeburg, and they were all mostly East German college students. Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself that it seemed that what Ding Haifeng said was true. Although the first quarter had not yet passed, the decline in Germany's economic situation had not changed at all from last year.
Dong Qiangqiang, who did not read the newspaper in time because he was leading the delegation, caught up on financial events for a week after returning to Germany. He knew that due to the impact of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the economic growth of the United States plummeted in the last quarter of last year. The loss of the United States, the largest overseas market, forced the German government, which had long been coerced by global economic integration, to lower its full-year economic growth forecast at the beginning of the year, and was forced to re-place its development hopes on the EU, especially its The four major exporting countries are Britain, France, Italy and Spain.
However, it rained all night, and the economies of these four countries were in a state of ruin. They originally expected the Germans to cheer up and lead the European countries out of the economic gloom. Unexpectedly, Germany's major insurance companies are all mired in the global claims quagmire after 9/11. They are all struggling to protect themselves. In addition to the insurance industry, the performance of major international companies in Germany's finance, aviation, tourism and other industries are also overshadowed. In the shadow of 911, even the most optimistic people did not see the day when these industries would climb out of the quagmire.
At the same time, the whole of Germany has officially replaced the mark with the euro since January 1, 2002, promoting the use of the euro as Germany's official currency. As a result, the prices of major German commodities have fluctuated, and some areas have even seen hidden price increases. For example, in 2001, goods sold for 2 marks in supermarkets, after January 1, 2002, some became 1 euro. , some directly exchanged for the later unit, and the price became 2 euros. As a result, the living expenses of working-class and student workers have also become uncertain. For example, Dong Qiangqiang’s rent and water and electricity prices also increased by 5% and 6% respectively in January. According to Lei Lanting, this is not the most exaggerated. Rented private student dormitories have directly increased by 10%. The increase in expenditure has led to a large surge in people looking for jobs in a short period of time. Hannover is a city in North Germany. Although the economy is slightly better than that of East Germany, it is still limited. The situation of more people and less food makes everyone less optimistic about getting CeBIT jobs.
Zhou Duan finally rushed back to Hannover from Hamburg and made a special trip to meet Dong Qiangqiang. He told Dong Qiangqiang that the agency had informed him that if nothing unexpected happened, the business license of the investment company registered in St. Kitts would be available in mid-March. Dong Qiangqiang transferred part of the commission paid by Lei Lanting to Duanmu, which was regarded as subscribing for his share of registered capital, and finally obtained 7.5% of the shares of Chanchan Investment Company.
The two of them walked out of the bank's self-service machine room and walked toward Duanmu's sports car.
"Old Dong, although the current economic situation in Germany is very poor, I have a hunch that as long as we work hard enough, we will definitely make a fortune." Duanmu opened the door of the red sports car and got in. After a burst of engine roar, Duanmu rolled down the window. , "By the way, I have one more thing to tell you. During this time, I have met with several angel investors from different institutions, and the conditions they gave are different from that of the old man. I will weigh it comprehensively before deciding on the final choice. Whose money is it? If the old man or his subordinates contact you, ask them to contact me directly, and don’t say anything to them, do you understand?"
Judging from Duanmu's tone, it seemed that he might not take the old man's money in the end. Dong Qiangqiang was surprised and worried: "I remember that you and the old man have already signed an investment agreement, right? If you suddenly change your mind, wouldn't it be bad? You still have to be trustworthy."
"The agreement of intent is just an intention," Duanmu chuckled and pointed at Dong Qiangqiang, "You didn't read the documents I sent you carefully. I can tell you that there are a lot of things that need to be done after the company license is issued. You run. You'd better read it quickly and I'll have time to answer your questions while I'm not busy now. I won't have time when I get busy."
Knowing that persuasion was ineffective, Dong Qiangqiang could only nod and replied: "I will read it as soon as possible."
Duanmu waved to him casually, and the sports car disappeared around the corner with a roar.
