Li He looked at the time and said to Wang Yulan, "I told her to come back during the summer and winter holidays. It's not like she won't be able to see her. You guys should hurry back. "
"It takes 13 hours to take a plane. Easy for you to say." Wang Yulan didn't agree with her son's words. She knew how difficult it was to take a plane.
"Let's go." Li He patted Four's shoulder and said to Wan Liangyou, "Be careful at home. Call me if anything happens."
Li He looked at Li Zhaokun and Wan Liangyou immediately understood. He nodded. "Don't worry with me around. I promise there won't be any problems."
More and more people came into the airport. Li He gestured for them to leave.
Currently, there was only one Kai Tak airport in Hong Kong. Hong Kong itself was an international metropolis, and it was also a transfer station for domestic airlines. Naturally, there was a lot of passenger flow.
The planned Hong Kong International Airport was in negotiations with the central government because it involved the use of Hong Kong's financial reserves and foreign exchange fund. However, the central government finally agreed to it as a gift for 1997.
At this time, China and Britain were quietly opposing each other over Hong Kong's political reform, Hong Kong's basic law, and the Court of Final Appeal. A long and drawn-out diplomatic dispute was still ongoing.
The moment the plane took off, Li He was worried that the plane would rush into the bay. It had happened more than once or twice that a plane crashed into the sea.
What made Li He feel strange was that the plane he took was China Airlines, and the founder of this airline was Old Jiang's trusted aide, the former air force commander.
After 13 hours, they arrived in London. It was already past one in the afternoon. The weather in London in February was slightly cold. Li He wasn't used to it, but he still put on his coat.
The Hong Kong Treasure Island Trading Company, which was managed by Guo Dongyun, came to pick them up. There were a total of ten cars, which basically occupied the exit of the airport.
This time, it wasn't only Li He who came to London. Guo Dongyun and Shen Daoru also came with him. Including their team, there were more than 20 people.
Li He wasn't in a hurry to get on the car. He smoked his cigarette at the exit. He had been on the plane for more than ten hours and had been holding back. He watched as Guo Dongyun and the others chatted with the people who were there to pick them up, but he had no intention of going up to greet them.
Guo Dongyun didn't make any introductions either. She knew Li He too well and didn't want to waste time with others. She just wanted to be invisible.
Li He asked Four, "Do you want me to show you around London for a couple of days?"
It is a long way from here to Oxford, and it is not easy to get to London.
"No need. I will buy a second-hand car in a few days. It will be convenient for me to go anywhere. I will come over when I have time." Four was exhausted from the flight and didn't have the mood to think about anything else.
Li He stepped on the cigarette butt and waved his hand. "Let's go."
It took them more than an hour to drive to Oxford. The hotel they stayed in was the Old Bank Hotel in Oxford. The room cost more than 1,000 pounds per night, which was equivalent to nearly 8,000 yuan. Li He could not help but curse, "Motherf * cker, this is daylight robbery."
After delivering their luggage, the waiter stood at the door and kept asking if they needed any more help. He was smiling from ear to ear.
Li He just packed his clothes and ignored the waiter. Four stepped forward and tipped the waiter five dollars before the waiter left.
Li He said, "Look, this is the nature of capitalist countries. They only care about money and don't care about feelings at all. Corruption, degeneration, there will be plenty of them to cry in the future. "
"Brother, that is …" Four only said half of her sentence and stopped. Her brother couldn't possibly not understand this tipping system. It was just that his mouth was cheap.
He turned around and went back to his room to pack his luggage.
"The fees here are even blacker than in Hong Kong. Even carrying luggage requires money." Li He's joke was taken seriously by Ding Shiping. He continued, "But it is really beautiful here. The people here are also decently dressed. The Rising Sun City is really not just for show."
Li He said disdainfully, "Their ancestors are more ruthless than us. They can rob and cheat. Of course, they are well-off. If we want to blame someone, we can only blame our ancestors for not living up to expectations! "
Since the Victorian era, the British had discovered that piracy was a very promising career. Piracy was allowed by the state. That was to say, any person who had the ability to be a pirate could easily rob things. "Robbing by order of the state", it was a very profitable business.
Relying on the industrial revolution, human traffickers and robbers, this business continued until the end of World War II.
Since the ancestors had a good foundation, the descendants certainly had a reason to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. They were well-dressed and pretended to be civilized people.
Alright.
He was purely jealous.
Li He slept until five or six o 'clock in the afternoon. As soon as he woke up, someone knocked on the door.
Guo Dongyun and Four stood at the door with big and small bags in their hands. Guo Dongyun smiled and said, "Wash up. Let's go eat something."
Li He said in surprise, "You didn't sleep? Did you go shopping? "
Guo Dongyun smiled and said, "I'm familiar with this place. I'll take her around and buy some clothes for the season."
"Thank you. Wait for me. "Li He went straight to wash his face.
When everyone went downstairs, Shen Daoru was already waiting at the door with a big cigar in his hand. He kept puffing out smoke rings.
He handed a cigarette to Li He. "Try it. This is the brand that Churchill smokes. When I was studying here, I didn't have money and couldn't afford to smoke. Now, I have to smoke properly."
"You can smoke it yourself. I have my own." Li He refused without hesitation.
Walking along the streets and alleys, Li He patted and touched the walls of the old houses from time to time. He kept sighing and sighing.
Four asked curiously, "What's a pity?"
Li He let out a heavy sigh. "Hitler is disappointing."
Why didn't they just blow everything up?
What was the point of blowing up London?
Guo Dongyun coughed and said helplessly, "This is a treasure of the entire human civilization."
Li He pursed his lips. "I'm not as generous as you. He's a capitalist. I don't have that kind of international communist spirit. It's not like it's a treasure of China. What does it have to do with me? "
Guo Dongyun, Lao Si, and the others exchanged glances with each other, speechless at his dark thoughts.
As they walked to the entrance of a restaurant, Guo Dongyun said, "This one. I used to drive here often."
When ordering, just like Ding Shiping, Li He only ordered potato beef, lamb chops, and fried eggs. As for dark dishes like bacon sausage, fried mushrooms, tomato baked beans, and fried codfish, he kept a respectful distance from them.
As for Four, Guo Dongyun, and the rest, they ate the cheese with relish.
Li He was sick of it. It was probably because he couldn't stand sweet things.
Four cut a piece of codfish for Li He. "Bro, try it. It's not bad."
"No, eat it yourself." Li He blocked it with his chopsticks. He had learned to be smart and would always bring a pair of bamboo chopsticks with him wherever he went.
When they were about to finish eating, a group of Japanese tourists and a group of Korean tourists entered the restaurant. The originally lifeless restaurant finally gained some liveliness. The two teams were messy and noisy, and their voices were loud. Many foreigners looked at them with disdain.
Li He was happy. He finally felt at ease.
Four and Guo Dongyun heaved a sigh of relief.
If not, the restaurant would only hear the loud voices of Li He and Ding Shiping, and the foreigners would keep staring at them. The two women wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Manners!
What happened to manners!
Li He patted Ding Shiping's shoulder. "Woman, your hair is long, but your knowledge is short!"
There was only one glass of beer left on the table. Li He stood up and raised his glass to the Japanese and Korean tourists. "Cheers!"
The Korean tourists thought he was Korean, and the Japanese tourists thought he was Japanese.
They also stood up and shouted, "Cheers!"
The roof of the restaurant almost fell off.
Just as someone was about to go up to Li He's table to chat, Li He waved at them with a smile and walked out the door.
Guo Dongyun suggested. "Let's go to a bar. The atmosphere is good."
Li He muttered in his heart. It was especially suitable for a loud voice like Li He.
Li He waved his hand. "It's fine. Go and have fun if you want. I will go back and have a good sleep. When Four starts school, we will do our own things. "
Guo Dongyun said seriously. "I have already made an appointment with ARM. We can talk anytime."
