As they chatted and laughed, the car arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
Although Hsu Shengzhe was more introverted overseas, it did not mean that he would treat himself badly. Naturally, the hotel he booked was not bad.
The Adlon Hotel was located in the center of Berlin.
As Li Dong and the rest arrived late, Hsu Shengzhe said as they walked, "Let's go eat first. After eating, you guys can have a good night's rest to get rid of the jet lag. I'll bring you guys out tomorrow. Of course, when we eat later, we can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Brandenburg Gate in the restaurant. The reason why I booked a hotel here is also related to this. Enjoying the scenery while eating is one of life's greatest pleasures. "
Li Dong nodded and looked around. Not far away, Su Wenhao was leading Zheng Long and the rest over.
As soon as he saw them, Hsu Shengzhe could not help but pat his forehead and said, "I almost forgot. You have a lot of people here, so I only booked two rooms. I'll go see if there are any vacant rooms. As I said, there are a lot of people these few days. If there are no vacant rooms, let's make do with it tonight. "
Li Dong did not have any objections, so Hsu Shengzhe went to the lobby to ask about the rooms.
It was Li Dong's first time abroad, and the rest were about the same. Everyone stood at the entrance of the hotel to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
In a foreign country, everything was strange.
Just as everyone was fascinated by the scenery, Hsu Shengzhe walked out and said, "As expected, there are no vacant rooms. Let's make do with it tonight."
"There are so many people. Will it be okay?"
"It's fine. I booked a luxury suite. It's big enough. Us guys can share it, and Yue Qin and the rest can share it. It's about right." Hsu Shengzhe said, "Let's not talk about this now. We'll talk about it after dinner. I haven't eaten anything since noon to wait for you."
Bai Yue Qin smiled and exposed him, "You've eaten three pieces of bread in the afternoon. That should be enough to fill your stomach, right?"
Hsu Shengzhe didn't mind. He chuckled and said, "You don't say. German food isn't that great, but the bread tastes pretty good. I've been relying on bread for the past few days."
Li Dong laughed and said, "You speak as if it's true. Come, let's go eat. Later, I will also try the German bread that Young Master Xu praised so highly."
…
During dinner time, Li Dong finally understood what Hsu Shengzhe meant by eating bread.
Perhaps it was their first time eating German cuisine, Li Dong and the others were not used to it.
Li Dong was fine. He could eat anything and wasn't picky about food. It didn't matter if the taste was a little bad.
Qin Yuhan was about the same. Although German cuisine was heavy on the taste, the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had good taste, so it was not a big problem to fill their stomachs.
But Hu Xiaorui couldn't do it. This girl was used to being spoiled.
She spat it out after tasting a mouthful. She frowned and said in annoyance, "It's so bad. If I had known, I would have eaten some on the plane."
Hsu Shengzhe was snickering when Hu Xiaorui turned her attention to him and said, "You treacherous official, what happened to the warm hospitality you promised? Didn't you say there's a Michelin star restaurant here? Why didn't you treat us there? "
Hsu Shengzhe smiled bitterly and said, "Young Mistress, so what I said before was for nothing? It's the World Cup now, and it's crowded here. You have to line up to book a Michelin star restaurant. If it was a two-star restaurant in the past, you'd probably have to wait for a night. Now, you have to wait for a week. Can you stay for a week? "
Hu Xiaorui was still a little angry and said, "Then can't you make a reservation a week in advance?"
"I didn't know you were coming."
Hsu Shengzhe murmured. He naturally didn't mean that he would book a restaurant when Hu Xiaorui came, but that he wouldn't pick up Li Dong if Hu Xiaorui came.
Anyway, Li Dong had money and a translator, so he couldn't lose him.
Now there was Hu Xiaorui, and this girl had been against him. It was definitely hard work to receive Hu Xiaorui.
Upon seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said, "Xiaorui, just make do with it and eat a little. Anyway, we won't stay here for long. When we go back to China, I'll treat you to a good meal. "
"Humph, you got lucky this time!" Hu Xiaorui glared at Hsu Shengzhe.
Hsu Shengzhe smiled bitterly. At this time, there was a slight snort from the table next to them, followed by a not too loud German.
Li Dong didn't understand German, so he didn't pay much attention.
Hsu Shengzhe understood, but he didn't care. His expression didn't change at all, as if he didn't hear it.
However, the other person at the table, Su Wenhao, who understood German, could not sit still. He whispered to Li Dong, "Mr. Li, let's keep our voices down. The Germans are very strict and old-fashioned. We are talking too loudly, and the other party is a little unhappy. "
After Su Wenhao finished speaking, Li Dong realized that the table next to them was referring to his table.
Li Dong looked up and saw two men and two women sitting at the table next to him.
However, these two men and two women weren't Germans like he had imagined, but Asians.
Seeing Li Dong raise his head, the man who spoke before said a few more words.
Li Dong asked Su Wenhao, "What did he say?"
Su Wenhao whispered, "He said that this is a public place. Don't be loud and don't embarrass our countrymen."
"Oh."
Li Dong nodded, then suddenly said, "Countrymen? Hua Xia's people? "
Su Wenhao laughed dryly. Li Dong suddenly understood. He looked up at the table opposite him and said angrily, "Why are you pretending! Hua Xia's people don't know how to speak Mandarin? How dare you embarrass your countrymen! Do you think I'm loud? "
Li Dong wasn't looking for trouble for no reason.
He and Hsu Shengzhe weren't the kind of people who liked to drink and brag, so they didn't talk much when they were eating.
Zhou Haidong and the rest didn't need to be mentioned. If you didn't ask them, they wouldn't make a sound.
The only person who was loud at the table was probably Hu Xiaorui, but Hu Xiaorui's voice could only be controlled.
It was normal to have some noise when more than ten people were eating. Whether it was in China or abroad, it was impossible for more than ten people to eat without making a sound.
Li Dong also knew that he was overseas. He was afraid that he would embarrass Hua Xia's people, so he had deliberately paid attention to it.
However, he didn't expect his own people to look down on him before the German even said anything.
If he had reminded them in Mandarin, Li Dong wouldn't have said anything. The key was that he was Chinese, yet he used German to talk to him. Wasn't this showing off?
Li Dong's words weren't polite enough. The moment he finished speaking, the expressions of the people opposite him changed. Obviously, they understood what he was talking about.
The other man who hadn't spoken before looked up at Li Dong and said, "Friend, my friend was just reminding you. You don't have to be so hurtful, right?"
"It's none of your business! I'm happy to do it! "
Li Dong snorted. Zhou Haidong and the rest put down their cutlery and stood up.
Seeing this, the expressions of the people beside them changed slightly. Two girls hurriedly pulled their companions beside them.
Then, there was silence. Not long after, the four people next to them paid the bill and left.
After they left, Hsu Shengzhe smiled and said, "Is there a need to be angry with them? There are many people like them. Most of them are local Chinese. Don't treat them as Chinese. Just treat them as Germans. The Germans are very old-fashioned. Just listen to me when I say a few words. There's no need to talk so much nonsense. "
Li Dong said angrily, "If they were really Germans, I wouldn't have said that. At least I can't embarrass our people. The key is that a few Chinese actually scolded me in German. Are they bullying me because I don't understand German? If this kind of person were to be placed in wartime, he would definitely be a traitor. "
Hsu Shengzhe chuckled and said, "Don't be so full of yourself. Maybe they'll be a hero in the end."
"As if I'd believe you!"
Li Dong mumbled and didn't continue the topic.
After that, everyone didn't say much and looked out the window at the Brandenburg Gate.
The Adlon Hotel was very close to the Brandenburg Gate. It was only two to three minutes' walk. From the restaurant, the view of the Brandenburg Gate was unobstructed.
After everyone looked for a while, Hsu Shengzhe said, "Tomorrow, I'll take you around. There are many things to see around here. The Reichstag, Linden Street, Berlin Television Tower, Potsdamer Platz … Tomorrow, we'll look at the nearby attractions. We still have a day in the day after tomorrow, and we can watch the World Cup final in the evening."
Li Dong didn't have any objections to Hsu Shengzhe's arrangement. After everyone had eaten, they went back to their rooms to rest.
The two rooms that Hsu Shengzhe booked were not small. There were a total of 11 people, four women and seven men.
Qin Yuhan and the others had no problem sleeping with the four of them. Li Dong and the others could also sleep with the seven of them squeezed together.
However, Li Dong didn't want to share a bed with a man. In the end, he occupied the sofa alone. It was very spacious.
…
After resting at the hotel for a night, everyone woke up early the next morning to take a good look at Berlin.
From morning to afternoon, the girls didn't even have time to eat. They were so excited that they took dozens of photos.
Although Li Dong felt that it was a little fresh, he wasn't too excited.
The only thing he liked was the environment and air in Berlin. The air here was really good.
If he didn't compare it, he wouldn't feel anything. If he compared it to Beijing, the environment and air quality here were a few times better.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Dong had to admit that the environment in Beijing was terrible.
It was fine now, but in a few years, he would have to eat dirt every day if he went to Beijing.
He didn't continue to dwell on it. The others were looking at the historical sites, but Li Dong focused on something else.
After walking around Berlin for the whole day, Li Dong was deep in thought when he returned to the hotel at night.
When Hsu Shengzhe saw this, he asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing much. It's just that I walked around Aldi Supermarket today, and I felt something."
"Aldi?"
"Yes, I did some research. Do you know how much of the market Aldi Supermarket occupies in Germany?"
"How much?"
"Eighty percent! Germany has a population of eighty million, and more than sixty million people will choose Aldi. Don't you think it's worth learning? "
Hsu Shengzhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That's decades of accumulation. This isn't something that can be done overnight. Far away, you can't be thinking that learning from Aldi can achieve this, right? The Albrecht brothers are the richest in Germany, and they have nearly five thousand stores … "
"I'm not talking about that."
Li Dong interrupted. "I'm talking about the route. Aldi is mainly taking the civilian route, and there aren't many hypermarkets and shopping malls. I think it's quite similar to Far away. We should do more research and see if we can learn something back. Recently, the competition in China is fierce, and Far away is also quite stressful. "
Xu Shengzhe shrugged and said, "What do you think you can learn from just taking a cursory look at the flowers? Don't worry about it. Think about how many years they have been developing, and how many years you have developed Far away. What's there to be dissatisfied about? "
Li Dong glared at him. "I don't have anything in common with you!"
Hsu Shengzhe laughed and didn't care. He said, "I say, Old Li, if you really want to continue to grow, why don't you bring me in to play? If we work together, we will be invincible. Far away will be able to take down Huarun in a matter of minutes. "
"In your dreams!"
Li Dong couldn't be bothered with him. He wouldn't bring this old fox in.
This guy even dared to cheat his own company. Who knows if he would cheat him too?
In the end, if Far away became his, Li Dong wouldn't even know who to cry to. He wouldn't let a wolf into his house.
