"You know the person who just walked past?" Even though Emma was sometimes stupid, her female intuition was very sharp. She immediately noticed the problem with her childhood sweetheart.
"Yeah, I've heard of them!" The youth nodded.
"Then should we go take a look? It seems like they're Hua Xia's superstars!" Emma said enviously. Her biggest dream was to be a superstar. Recently, she had already participated in many auditions for movie crews, but she hadn't received any response. She felt that it would be very difficult for her to become a superstar in this lifetime.
She was already 15 years old. She was already a little old.
"Not going. I think I'll have the chance to meet them in the future!" The youth shook his head. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, then he walked out of the airport.
Emma didn't understand Chinese at all. Fortunately, there were signs in English everywhere in the airport, so they arrived at the taxi stop very smoothly.
Seeing two foreign teenagers coming to take a taxi, many drivers enthusiastically invited them to get in. Finally, they got into the latest and most beautiful taxi.
As the driver stepped on the gas, the entire taxi started moving at an extremely fast speed.
"This car's starting speed is so fast. When I sit in it, it's like a sports car!" Emma said in disbelief as she felt the strong push from just now.
Hua Xia's taxis are all sports cars?
Is this country already so rich?
"This isn't a sports car. This is an electric car. In terms of starting speed, an electric car is actually much faster than a sports car. This is determined by the characteristics of the electric motor!" The youth explained.
"Electric car? Isn't the European Union's parliament still debating whether electric cars are safe, and whether they should be given the same treatment as cars? Hua Xia's taxis are already electric cars? "Emma asked in surprise.
"Yeah, actually, the first country in the world to use electric cars was Hua Xia. Now, Hua Xia has the most electric car brands in the world. This time, it's the European branch of Hua Xia's Electric Car Industry Association that's mobilizing their power. They're trying to normalize electric cars in Europe and pave the way for them to fully enter the European market!" The youth explained.
"Alright, I'm not sure about these things, but I think it would be great if an electric car company is willing to pay for a beautiful English girl like me to shoot an advertisement. Even if it's free, I would be satisfied with just a few scenes!" Emma said with stars in her eyes.
After Emma finished speaking, she glanced at her childhood sweetheart and realized that he wasn't listening to her at all. Instead, he was chatting with the driver in front.
"Mr. Driver, may I ask if all the taxis in the city are electric scooters?" The young man asked in fluent Chinese, but Emma was already used to it.
Ever since Donald moved from the United States to the Ying State when she was 10 years old and they became childhood sweethearts, Emma knew very well that Donald's biggest dream was to go to Hua Xia, the country that had been creating all kinds of miracles in the past 15 years.
God knows why Donald, the eldest son of the chairman of the largest luxury company in the world, would be interested in Hua Xia, a place so far away from Europe.
He even spoke Chinese so fluently, as if it was his mother tongue.
"Young man, your Chinese is quite authentic!" The taxi driver was also surprised by the young man's fluent Mandarin, and then he explained, "Not all taxis are electric scooters. After all, there are still many cars on the streets from before 00 years, such as Xiali, Santana, and so on. They can still run now, so no one is willing to change."
"But now, 70% to 80% of the taxis on the streets are electric. After all, electric cars save money. Our cars are on the road every day, and we can save hundreds of dollars in gas in a day, but electric scooters only cost a few dollars. Naturally, electric scooters are more cost-effective!" The taxi driver explained.
"What about civilian cars?"
"Civilian cars are basically electric too. Weren't there all kinds of suicide bombings in Iraq recently, and oil wells were also attacked? I heard that the international oil prices have increased a lot, which caused the oil prices here to rise as well. Naturally, electric scooters are more cost-effective. "
"Also, electric scooters are really cheap. Although it's not as cheap as the Shang Tang that cost 20,000 yuan, most of them are still within 30,000 yuan. It's quite good for everyone to buy an electric scooter for transportation! If you want a luxury car, the Daqian recently launched Qin Zhaoxiang is also very good. I heard that it already has a navigation system and automatic parking function. God knows how they did it. Technology is getting more and more advanced! "The taxi driver couldn't help but sigh.
"Mr. Driver, are there many power stations in the city?" The young man asked again.
"Of course, there are more than gas stations!" The taxi driver smiled and said, "Take the street in front for example, there are already three power stations. In the entire city, there is definitely one power station less than 10 kilometers away. Now, power stations in many towns and villages have been built."
"In addition, the range of our scooter has increased to 400 kilometers, which is enough to go to Foshan several times. You don't know, a few years ago, we didn't dare to go to those counties and suburbs with electric scooters. We were afraid that there was no power station there, and we would die halfway. However, the Daqian has been building more than 5,000 power stations every year for two years in a row. Now, almost all the remote places have power stations. On the contrary, those gas stations are almost gone. "
"I have said before that electric scooters are the trend of social development. Gasoline cars are the stubborn ones. One day, electric scooters will overtake them!" The driver said proudly, as if he was very proud of his foresight.
"Mr. Driver, do you have a lot of electricity in your scooter?" The young man asked curiously.
"Why? Do you want to see the power station process? "The driver asked with a smile.
"How did you know?" The young man was shocked by the driver. Could it be that the driver was as smart as him and could guess what he was thinking?
"Haha, foreigners like you who come to Hua Xia for the first time like to see the power station!" The driver laughed and said, "In fact, it's not your fault. After all, only Hua Xia has power stations. It's normal for you to want to see the excitement."
"Well, although I have half of the electricity left, since you want to see it, I will take you to see the power station process. However, this time, we will take a detour and charge you more. Don't blame me!" The driver said with a smile. The young man naturally said that there would be no problem.
In fact, the driver lied. His scooter's battery had just been changed. Now, it had 80% of the electricity left. It was not cost-effective to change the battery now.
However, for this old Hua Xia driver, one of the most interesting scenes in life was to see these foreigners, who used to be high and mighty in his heart, also show an expression of country bumpkins entering the city. Every time this happened, he would have a strong sense of pride in his heart. These foreigners also had times when they envied Hua Xia people.
Compared to this kind of spiritual enjoyment, spending a little money to change the battery was nothing.
