Chapter 1,240 “Tourism at Public Expense”
The doctors said that the old lady wouldn't live long. Wang Qiulan has been persisting for so many years, so why can't she bite the bullet and persist for another month or two?
Just when everyone was feeling sorry for Wang Qiulan, Han Yu was traveling with Comrade Lao Wu in the "Romantic City" at public expense!
It's just that Han Yu's travel is different from Comrade Lao Wu's. Comrade Lao Wu is both a senior police officer and a writer. When he finally comes to Paris, he must visit the Louvre.
Compared with those domestic attractions, the tickets for the Louvre are not expensive, but Han Yu still couldn't bear it after thinking about it.
"Han Bureau, this is a rare opportunity. I don't know when I will come next time. I may never come again in this life. Why don't you go in and take a look?"
"Political Commissar, I don't understand art and I'm not very interested in artworks. Why don't you go in and have a look? I'll wait for you at the exit."
“There are Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and a statue of the severed arm of Venus, the goddess of love!”
"I know, but I'm really not interested in these."
Wu Guoqun was very sorry. He felt that the reason why the young director was not interested in these things may have something to do with the fact that he was the son of a boat people. He only knew how to sail and repair ships since he was a child, and had not received the influence of art. At the same time, he felt that Han Yu
This trip could not be in vain. He pointed to the front and said: "Bureau Han, stand over there and I will take some more photos for you."
"Okay, thank you."
Han Yu was still interested in taking photos in front of the glass pyramid. It didn’t cost money anyway. I just didn’t know how many memory cards Comrade Wu had brought with him. He started taking photos at Pudong Airport in the East China Sea and started taking photos again when he arrived at the Paris Airport.
When I arrived in Paris, I couldn't stop taking pictures, and I was even warned for taking random pictures of pedestrians.
After taking photos and leaving photos, I went with him to buy tickets.
He didn’t know how big the Louvre was, and he didn’t understand English, let alone French. Han Yu was worried that he would get lost, so he bought the tickets with him so that he wouldn’t rush in. He waited at the door for about ten minutes.
I happened to meet a domestic tour group and asked him to go with the tour group.
I thought he would be able to come out after shopping for an hour at most, but after waiting at the exit for nearly three hours, he came out with a digital camera still full of excitement.
"Commissar, how do you feel?"
"Han Bureau, you really should go in and take a look. They are full of world-famous works of art, including many from China!"
"Yeah?"
"It should have been robbed by the Eight-Power Allied Forces when they burned the Old Summer Palace. It's a pity to think about it."
Everything was taken away by others, and now I want it but I can’t get it back.
Han Yu really didn't want to discuss this topic, so he looked at the tourist map and asked with a smile: "Political Commissar, where will we go next?"
"Let's go to the Eiffel Tower. Is it far from here?" Comrade Lao Wu asked happily.
"From the map, it's estimated to be three or four kilometers."
"How about we walk there? There are all scenic spots along the way. Look at those buildings. We can look at them as we walk."
Going out to play with his old man is as good as going shopping with my senior sister and Zhang Lan. Even though he is fifty-one years old, he doesn't seem tired.
Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. In addition, it was rare to visit the "Romantic City". Han Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue shopping with his old man.
While walking, Comrade Lao Wu suddenly remembered something: "Han Bureau, we haven't taken a group photo yet?"
There is a square in front of it. There are many historical buildings around the square. Many tourists from all over the world take photos in the square.
Han Yu was just thinking about finding someone to take the photo when he saw two female tourists from Asia also asking a black man to take the photo.
Lao Wu also noticed it and couldn't help laughing: "I don't know if that black man understands English. If he understands English, we can also ask him to take some pictures for us."
"OK."
As soon as Han Yu finished speaking, he saw the black man running away with the cameras of two Asian female tourists. The two Asian female tourists calmed down, one hurriedly chased after him, and the other shouted eagerly, "It sounds like they are from Japan."
people.
Comrade Lao Wu was stunned. He subconsciously held the digital camera hanging on his chest tightly and murmured: "Is this a robbery?"
"It seems like, no, it's just robbery."
"This is the capital of France. How can anyone dare to rob in broad daylight in public?"
"Didn't Mr. Liu remind us when he picked us up at the airport that public security in Paris is not good?"
Mr. Liu is a French Chinese. He has opened a trading company in France and has business dealings with the East China Sea Salvage Bureau of the Ministry of Transport. He should have purchased some equipment for the East China Sea Salvage Bureau.
Han Yu and Lao Wu came to France to obtain business visas this time. Mr. Liu's company helped to issue the invitation letter. It would be very troublesome to apply for the visa in the name of the Changhang Public Security Bureau or the Maritime Safety Bureau. The French Consulate in the East China Sea issued a visa.
The officials are all China-savvy. They know that the Changhang Public Security Bureau and the Maritime Safety Bureau are both law enforcement agencies. They will ask you what you are doing in France.
Mr. Liu was very enthusiastic. Not only did he send out the invitation letter, but he also drove to the airport to pick him up. Last night he even held a banquet to welcome him. However, being too enthusiastic is not a good thing. The hotel was booked for someone else, and it was too expensive, comparable to a three-star hotel in China.
A nearly standard room costs 140 euros a night!
There are no invoices abroad like in China.
For this business trip, the Maritime Safety Administration provided overseas subsidies based on COSCO Shipyard’s overseas standards.
The accommodation fee in Paris is 120 euros per person per night, but when you go to Marseille it becomes 100 euros, because the prices and consumption in Marseille are not as high as in Paris. The food expenses are the same, whether in Paris or Marseille, it is per person per day
40 euros.
The money saved belongs to you. If you stay in a cheaper hotel, you can save more.
The more Han Yu thought about it, the more distressed he became. He turned around and asked with a smile: "Political Commissar, do you want to take a group photo?"
"Forget it, it's not worth it if the camera is robbed." Comrade Lao Wu really understood what bad public security means. He thought about it and laughed: "Besides, it's not interesting to take a photo with two grown men."
It was already dark when we walked along the Seine River to the Eiffel Tower. Han Yu's legs hurt from walking, but Comrade Wu was still energetic.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The tower lights up, it is very spectacular.
You can take the stairs to the second floor before 6:30. It's already past 6:30. You can't take the stairs and can only take the elevator. You can even take the elevator to the top of the tower to overlook the night view of Paris.
Wu Guoqun has a long service life, has a high administrative position, and has a higher salary than Han Yu. His wife used to be a civil servant, and now she has retired and her salary is not low. Moreover, his son has married and started a business, and his son and daughter-in-law have a lot of income, unlike others who want to take advantage of their elders.
.
In short, he is relatively loose financially.
After finally coming to France, he was worried that the subsidy provided by the Maritime Safety Administration was not enough, so he went to the bank in advance to exchange 20,000 euros for euros. It can be said that he came here just for consumption!
Following Han Yu to the ticket gate, he stopped and asked: "Han Bureau, don't you really want to go up and take a look?"
"I can't go up, I'm afraid of heights."
"Planes fly higher. Why aren't you afraid of flying?"
"When I flew on the plane, I sat on the edge of the aisle and didn't sit by the window. I didn't look outside and wasn't scared."
"So you haven't been to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower?"
"No, I don't dare." As a new Donghai native who does not work or live in Donghai, Han Yu has never been to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, but it is not because he is afraid of heights, but because he thinks the tickets are a bit expensive.
Comrade Lao Wu didn't know why, so he could only pay for a ticket to visit alone.
Han Yu continued to wait at the exit, feeling like he had become Comrade Wu's tour guide. He thought that the mobile phone he was using was Global Communications, that he had activated international roaming before going abroad, and that the Maritime Safety Administration would reimburse the phone bill later. Then he thought that being idle was also idle.
, found a step to sit down, took out his mobile phone and called his senior sister to report that he was safe.
"I don't care what time it is, are you going to sleep?" Han Xiangning asked drowsily when she was woken up by the ringing sound in her sleep.
Han Yu suddenly remembered the time difference between Paris and China, and said quickly: "Then I'll hang up first, and you can go back to sleep."
"No, no, no, no, I've already been woken up by you." Han Xiangning turned over, held up the phone and asked curiously: "Where are you now? Is everything going well?"
"We were in Paris, visiting the Eiffel Tower. Lao Wu went up, and I was waiting for him below."
"Why don't you go up?"
"You have to buy a ticket to go up there. Besides, it's a high point. What's there to see?"
As expected, my junior is as frugal as ever.
Han Xiangning couldn't help but laugh and asked: "Besides the Eiffel Tower, where else have you been to today?"
"The Louvre, Notre Dame de Paris, Les Invalides, and the Arc de Triomphe. Anyway, I went to many places today, but I didn't go into any of the attractions where I paid for tickets. Lao Wu was interested in these, so he went in to see them all.
Next."
"If you want to go in, just go in and have a look. Zhang Erxiao and Gao Xiaoqin have traveled to France. They said that tickets for French attractions are not expensive."
"It's nothing to see. What can you do with this money?"
"If you don't go anywhere, wouldn't this trip to Paris be in vain?"
"I'm on a business trip. I'm here for work." Thinking that one euro can be exchanged for eleven yuan in RMB, Han Yu said with a smile: "Besides, I didn't come here in vain. I took pictures outside the scenic spot.
I took a lot of photos. Lao Wu not only writes good articles, but also has good photography skills. I will develop those photos for you when I go back."
There's nothing wrong with being frugal.
Han Xiangning was not only used to the stinginess of her junior students, but also became very stingy. She felt that it was nothing to go in without spending money to buy tickets, so she asked with a smile: "How many days do you plan to spend in Paris?"
"Consumption in Paris is too high. One night's stay costs 140 euros. We will take the train to Marseille early tomorrow morning."
"The accommodation fee is shared equally between two people, and it won't exceed the standard, and you won't be charged any extra. Even if it costs 140 euros a night, you can still save 30 euros."
“Why not save more if you can save more? Who would think it’s too much money?”
"That's true." Han Xiangning suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile: "Your branch treats business trips to collect evidence as a benefit. This time it is Political Commissar Wu. Whose turn will it be next time?"
Han Yu grinned and said, "Old Huang, he has already applied for his passport."
Han Xiangning sneered and said: "Old Huang's passport may not be used. The Panamanian shipowner I told you about last time sent me a reply email today. They said that the captain will dock in Hong Kong on the 11th next month."
