It was the same standard room with only two beds. Eight young students were crowded into one room, looking in a daze.
"Are you really a liar?"
"That must be a liar. Didn't you hear Nagasawa say that he made up the Chelton etiquette?"
"He doesn't even know the history of Chelton, and he's definitely not from Chelton."
"Absolutely, anyone who is a liar will report their true hometown address."
After everyone got together and discussed it, they found that they still didn’t know what to do.
Students who have never left the ivory tower of school have only known difficulties in learning and must study hard. This is the first time they have experienced such dangers in the world.
To sum up, there is only one sentence left: "But why are they doing this?! Is it because they spend so much money and energy pretending to be rich people just to use us as tour guides for free?"
Then the classmate who spoke saw the way Ji Changze looked at him.
How can I describe this look? It is a mixture of speechlessness and rolling eyes, which fully reflects the inner activities of hating iron for being unable to become steel.
Classmate: "...Okay, I won't say it anymore. It seems unlikely."
"Of course they can't waste their efforts in vain. Our mountain city is vigorously promoting the establishment of businesses. If they really want to start businesses, the government will not only provide loans, but also provide support funds. They are probably here for this money."
Ji Changze didn't bother to beat around the bush and pointed out the key points directly.
Ruan Heng had heard a little bit about this support plan. After thinking about it, he said, "My second uncle seems to have applied for it. He wants to open a chicken farm. I remember he applied for a support fund of 3,000 yuan."
"But the presidential suite costs five thousand yuan..."
"Are you! Are you stupid?!"
The young man who had just picked up the economics book was speechless and threw the book directly on Ruan Heng.
"Do you think they would tell the mayor that they are going to open a chicken farm when they have such a big campaign??!!"
"You are really a genius. These people came all the way from abroad to our country. They hired a bunch of people and spent money like water. They spent money everywhere. They stayed in a presidential suite that cost 5,000 yuan a night. A car costs hundreds of thousands, and a meal every day costs thousands of dollars.
You have done so much just to come to our mountain city in China to apply to the mayor for opening a chicken farm? ! "
Ruan Heng shrank his neck, carefully picked up the book and put it on the table: "Don't be angry first, I just said that casually."
Ji Changze glanced at him and took something out of his pocket. He didn't take out anything. He could only reach out to the students who were standing straight and waiting for inspection and asked: "Give me paper and pen."
"Oh oh oh, okay, I have a pen here."
Cui Jiu was afraid when he saw him like this. He quickly took out a pen from his coat pocket and handed it over. Another classmate also quickly took a piece of paper and put it on the table.
"Come on, let's calculate how much money they spent every day after arriving in the capital. You all still remember what they bought and how much they spent, right?"
"I remember."
Ruan Heng's memory was always good, so he immediately spoke and recited all those things while recalling them.
"I also remember the prices very clearly."
"Of course you remember it clearly, because they still rely on our mouths to spread the word that they have money, so they will definitely find a way to let you know the price of what they buy."
When Ji Changze said this, Ruan Heng thought it was true.
Every time when I was shopping, there were obviously a lot of people around me, and some of them knew Chinese, but Mr. Smith would just ask one of them to translate.
Then after learning the price of the things they wanted to buy, they immediately bought the goods without blinking an eye, which were astronomical prices for poor students like them.
Ruan Heng reported all the items and prices he remembered one by one.
Ji Changze wrote down one by one and waited until he stopped continuing before looking up: "Are you done?"
Ruan Heng nodded: "Have said that, these are the things you can buy in the capital. I don't know about those in the mountain city."
After all, they were called from school because Smith was going to the capital.
Ji Changze estimated: "I guess that Smith told our principal that he wanted to recruit a group of outstanding students in the school, and maybe he also promised a position and high salary."
Otherwise, their principal would not have been able to send eight students over to translate.
Even if you want to let the other party experience the knowledge and heritage of Chinese students, it is of course more appropriate for professional adults to entertain international friends than immature students.
"But why did Smith ask us to come?"
Ji Changze: "Is it really because we have good grades? Don't be ridiculous, it's because our school is very famous in China. He is taking advantage of the principal's power and reputation. When he goes out, people will hear that we were sent by the principal. As a translator, you will definitely think that he is a big shot."
"He can follow others' respect for the principal and connect with other people of the same status as the principal. One by one, he will eventually become known to all the big shots. Of course, his status as a rich man will be secure. .”
What Ji Changze said is not difficult, and it is also very simple to understand.
But for the young students who had never thought that people could calculate to this extent, it was like listening to a suspense story.
"He, isn't he afraid of being exposed? Those big shots are so powerful, they must be able to tell, right?"
Ji Changze took a sip of water:
"Do you think big shots would be interested in them? They just say hello in a friendly way, exchange business cards, and expand their connections. When it's not time to use this connection, who would have nothing to do to find out whether the other person's identity is true or false."
After saying that, he saw all his classmates looking at him with expressions of "shocking the whole family", and he put down his water glass:
"You are all about to graduate, haven't you even thought about these? Haven't you thought about what you will do after graduation, how to get along well with colleagues, how to have a good relationship with your boss, and how to expand as much as possible? Connections?”
The silly spores on the opposite side shook their heads in unison.
Ji Changze was silent for a few seconds.
Well, it's understandable. After all, it's a simple era and we are all students. It's normal to think that it's that far away.
"Forget it, just know that he is a liar anyway."
The Silly Spores nodded in unison again.
Ruan Heng said quickly: "Then let's tell the principal quickly. If the principal knows that he is a liar, he will definitely let us go back."
"What are you going back for?"
Ji Changze sneered and picked up the record he had just written down of what the scammers bought and how much they spent.
After doing a quick mental math, write a number on top.
"Three hundred and twenty thousand."
"To build momentum, they spent a total of 320,000 yuan in the capital."
There is still quite a lot of money, so no wonder we have to get a standard room for these students. Apart from the fact that these students who have never seen the world can't think of this level, there is probably another reason why they are running out of money.
"Come, take a look, what do these things have in common?"
"Let me see."
Cui Jiuxian took a careful look at Ji Changze, and after making sure that he didn't show that he didn't want to see him, he cautiously approached, picked up the list, and started reading.
"They're all expensive."
"nonsense!"
Ji Changze picked up the book on the table and threw it on him; "If you were my younger brother, I would definitely fire you!"
“The common denominator is these are all refundable!!!”
"Except for food and accommodation, the other bits and pieces they bought cost more than 200,000 yuan. These are all returnable! As long as the items are not dismantled and returned as they are, their cost is reduced to less than 100,000 yuan."
When the students heard about one hundred thousand, they were amazed again.
"One hundred thousand is a lot."
"Are all liars today so rich? Why do they still want to be liars when they are so rich?"
"Shameless! You are so rich and you still act like a liar!"
Ji Changze sat back, his face full of speechlessness for his stupid classmates:
"Do you think the 100,000 they invested is a lot? Do you know the maximum support funds our country can reach now? Tens of millions!"
"As long as they gain the trust of others and get the government to approve support funds, they might be able to get tens of millions of dollars!! What's a hundred thousand? You think they spend a lot, but in fact every money they spend is In order to earn back ten times or a hundred times the money!!”
"Tens of millions??!!!"
One student almost jumped up.
"No, we have to call the police quickly. There is so much money. If they succeed, our country will suffer huge losses!!!"
Ji Changze was not in a hurry now.
"Don't call the police yet. They haven't started the scam yet. If you call the police now, you won't be able to produce evidence."
That student has always been the same, but they have no evidence at all now. The most they can prove is that Smith is not from Chilton, or does not know how to use Chilton's Western food etiquette.
But thinking that I would have to deal with such a hateful liar every day in the future, I was afraid and gritted my teeth. For a while, the seven people in the room were silent.
Cui Jiu was the first to speak.
"Then Nagasawa, we will listen to you on what to do next."
Perhaps because he expressed his support for himself, Ji Changze finally gave him a good face: "Okay, then you will be right to listen to me next. Don't worry, I will definitely let them learn a lesson."
Cui Jiu nodded, a little ashamed: "I used to think that you didn't learn well outside, so you just knew how to lie and lie to make you the boss. I was wrong before. I shouldn't say bad things about you. I will never do it again in the future. So I misunderstood you, really! I will never call you a liar again!"
Ji Changze was very generous: "It doesn't matter. Everyone makes mistakes. I forgive you."
"But Nagasawa, why are you so powerful? You actually know all about pretending to be rich and having connections."
The young man sitting lazily on the chair waved his hand: "It's nothing. I lied to my little brothers like this before."
"has experience."
