They walked around the old city for a while, then returned to the main entrance of the train station.
Once out of the main entrance of the train station was the world-famous Bahnhofstrasse.
Not only was Bahnhofstrasse famous for its huge liquidity, but it was also one of the luxury shopping streets on par with Fifth Avenue.
Su Wenhao had also been to Zurich when he was studying in Germany.
As they walked, Su Wenhao explained, "June and July is the discount season for Bahnhofstrasse. It's actually quite cost-effective to buy things at this time. When you get to Bahnhofstrasse, there are generally three things you must buy. "
Li Dong asked with some interest, "What three things?"
"Swiss army knife, Swiss watch, and finally, chocolate."
"Chocolate?"
It was not Li Dong who asked. Hu Xiaorui asked with interest, "Is there chocolate here too? How is it compared to Berlin's? "
Su Wenhao laughed and said, "Switzerland's Sprungli chocolate is known as Switzerland's national treasure and is also a world-famous brand. Compared to Berlin's, each has its own merits. I can't taste it specifically. It's too expensive, and I rarely buy these. "
Hu Xiaorui listened and nodded, then said, "Then shall we go buy some now?"
Su Wenhao hurriedly explained, "Almost all the shops on Bahnhofstrasse are closed around 4: 30 pm, so we probably won't be able to buy anything at this time."
Li Dong glanced at the sun in the sky. The days were long in summer, and the sun was still hanging high in the sky.
Closing shop at this time?
Su Wenhao could tell what Li Dong was thinking, so he shrugged and said helplessly, "This is their tradition. Switzerland is not like China. Although Bahnhofstrasse is a financial center, life and work here are not too busy."
Li Dong couldn't help but say, "These foreigners are really living a comfortable life."
Next to him, Hsu Shengzhe smiled and said, "I'm not interested in these things. Teacher Su, I heard a rumor. Is it true?"
Su Wenhao had also learned about Hsu Shengzhe's identity in the past two days. He was the son of the richest man in Jiangbei.
Upon hearing Hsu Shengzhe's question, Su Wenhao hurriedly said, "Please speak, Mr. Xu."
Hsu Shengzhe stamped his feet and squinted his eyes. "I heard that the underground of Bahnhofstrasse is empty. This is actually the underground vault of the major banks. Is that true?"
When the others heard this, their ears perked up. Obviously, they were very interested in this rumor.
Bahnhofstrasse was where the headquarters of many banks were located. If the vault was really underground, then they were practically walking on a mountain of gold.
Su Wenhao thought for a moment and said, "The rumors should be true. There must be an underground vault here. However, whether or not the treasury is under our feet is still up for debate. "
Hsu Shengzhe didn't care whether it was real or not. He lowered his body and touched the ground. After a long time, he sighed and said, "What a pity. We are separated by one land. If only …"
Li Dong, who had been listening by the side, interrupted with a smile, "Don't talk about those useless things. Even if there really is an underground vault, are you going to rob it?"
Hsu Shengzhe grumbled but didn't reply. Then, the group strolled along Bahnhofstrasse.
As Su Wenhao had said, Li Dong and the others were a little late. Although the sun hadn't set yet, there weren't many shops open on both sides of the street.
Furthermore, most of them were restaurants or banks. The other luxury stores were almost all closed.
Bahnhofstrasse was very clean and the air was very fresh. There were trees on both sides of the road.
There were no cars of all shapes and sizes here. Su Wenhao continued to explain, "Cars aren't allowed in here. We can only rely on trolleybuses for transportation. Of course, there are also many people who ride bicycles."
When Li Dong heard that, he looked around. Indeed, the pedestrians were either walking or riding bicycles. There really weren't any other means of transportation.
Of course, there were still cars. Li Dong saw a few sports cars.
Rules were rules. As for whether they were used for driving or as decorations, Li Dong didn't want to get to the bottom of it.
As Su Wenhao explained along the way, Li Dong and the others also learned a lot.
For example, those with big signs and luxurious fronts weren't necessarily the world's top brands.
Many top brands were very reserved. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't even know that the shop next to them, which looked no different from a house, was a world-class brand.
They walked around and soon reached the end of the short street.
At the end of the road was Bulkeley Square by Lake Zurich. Many tourists were taking photos in the square.
Lake Zurich was just ahead of them.
The lake was very clear, and swans and mandarin ducks could be seen playing in the lake. Even if they saw tourists, those little animals didn't show much fear.
They sat on the lawn next to the square for a while.
Hu Xiaorui lay on the lawn, basking in the warm sunlight. She said lazily, "It's so comfortable. I don't want to leave."
The girls all had the same expression. They had originally imagined that Zurich, as the financial center of Western Europe, would be full of the stench of money and would be very busy.
But when they arrived, they realized that they had misunderstood.
Even the busiest Bahnhofstrasse was so relaxed and leisurely. It was no wonder that Zurich was one of the most livable cities in the world. It must be very relaxing to live here.
Li Dong was also lying on the lawn, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
After a while, Li Dong said, "We're late today. Let's come back tomorrow. We have to buy something when we're in Switzerland. Swiss army knives are not bad. We can get a few dozen as gifts. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Hsu Shengzhe said disdainfully, "Can you not be so tacky? Why do I feel like you've met a second-hand dealer?"
Li Dong said angrily, "Don't talk about me. You're not any better than me. You're still thinking about other people's vaults. You're not tacky at all. "
Seeing the two of them bickering, the others couldn't help but laugh.
After a while, Bai Yue Qin interrupted with a chuckle, "Alright, stop arguing. We'll talk about shopping later. Li Dong, don't you have something to do tomorrow? Do you want us to accompany you? "
"No, you can go shopping tomorrow. Teacher Su will be your interpreter. Old Xu will accompany me."
Hsu Shengzhe said unhappily, "Why should I accompany you?"
Li Dong smiled and did not say anything. Hsu Shengzhe saw this and did not refute.
There were only two people present who understood German. One was Hsu Shengzhe, and the other was Su Wenhao.
Although Su Wenhao had been introduced by Shen Qian, he was still considered half an official. Li Dong's money had come from shady sources, so Su Wenhao naturally could not know about it.
Even if he knew, it would not affect him much. However, it was better to avoid trouble, so Li Dong could not be bothered.
In addition, Hsu Shengzhe was more knowledgeable about finance. Li Dong was also preparing to cash the bonds, so he was naturally the most suitable person to look for.
Although Li Dong and Longhua had a feud, it did not mean that he had a feud with Hsu Shengzhe.
On the contrary, perhaps because the two were similar in age, they had a sense of mutual appreciation. Otherwise, they would not have gotten together.
Although 50 million Swiss francs was not a small amount, Hsu Shengzhe was not poor. Even if Hsu Shengzhe knew about the origins of Li Dong's bonds, it would not be a big problem.
Another point was that Hsu Shengzhe was also a smart man. Even if he knew, he would not get to the bottom of it.
Everyone sat by Lake Zurich for a while, then got up and rushed to the hotel.
This time, the hotel was personally chosen by Li Dong, and it was near Bahnhofstrasse.
Zurich's population was not large, and there were not many tourists either. The hotel room was not as tight as Berlin.
Because of the hardship in Berlin, Li Dong was not stingy this time and booked six rooms.
He, Qin Yuhan, Hsu Shengzhe, and Bai Yue Qin, as well as Hu Xiaorui, Su Wenhao, and Chen Ke, all had their own rooms. After that, Zhou Haidong and the other three shared a room.
After entering the room, everyone put down their luggage, rested for a while, and went out to find a local restaurant for dinner.
The local cuisine in Switzerland was only average.
Moreover, the food habits here were similar to those in Germany. German pork trotters were also very popular here. Li Dong and the rest lost interest after a simple taste.
After dinner, everyone walked around the streets and alleys.
In Zurich, the most common thing to see were all kinds of ancient churches, and there were many churches in the old city area.
Everyone walked and looked around, and only returned to the hotel after ten o 'clock.
…
At night, Li Dong, who had been holding back for a few days, showed off his masculinity.
After making love, Qin Yuhan leaned on Li Dong's chest and said softly, "It's beautiful here."
Li Dong said lazily, "Is it beautiful? Actually, it's just so-so. There are many ancient towns and cities in the country that are more beautiful than this, but we don't have time to see them. When I'm free, I'll bring you there in the future. I promise you'll have fun. "
"Mmm."
Qin Yuhan responded, and then said softly, "Then when will you be free?"
Li Dong stared at the ceiling and thought for a moment. "I'll be thirty at most. After I'm thirty, when I've earned enough money, I'll put down all my work and go sightseeing with you."
At thirty, it was almost time for Li Dong to be reborn.
At that time, all of his prophetic abilities would be useless, and he would have earned enough money that he wouldn't be able to spend in ten lifetimes.
When he was thirty, Li Dong decided to retire and enjoy the rest of his life.
This was also his dream. When he was busy in the past, he comforted himself with this.
He had to suffer a little and be tired for a while. It was just a few years, and it would pass in the blink of an eye. When he was thirty, he would be less than half of his life.
At that time, he would be able to travel around the world and live like an immortal.
Just as Li Dong was fantasizing, Qin Yuhan whispered something.
Li Dong didn't hear it clearly and asked, "What did you just say?"
Qin Yuhan shook her head gently and said, "Nothing. Thirty is actually coming soon. I can wait."
"That's right. Time flies. It's gone in the blink of an eye …"
…
The next day, Li Dong and the others split into two groups.
Li Dong, Hsu Shengzhe, Chen Ke, and Zhou Haidong went to the Swiss National Bank, while Qin Yuhan, Hu Xiaorui, and the others went shopping.
At the entrance of the national bank, Hsu Shengzhe couldn't help but ask, "Old Li, what are you doing in Switzerland this time?"
"To withdraw money."
Hsu Shengzhe had guessed this before, so he asked, "How much?"
"Fifty million."
"Renminbi?"
"Swiss lang."
"Damn, you actually have a private vault!"
"…"
