I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 337: Nickname in Previous Life

"Damn, I can still find fake cigarettes abroad." Ouyang Ming was very angry at this time.

"That's normal. I've bought fake jade from Hongtu before." Chen Xi thought of his shopping experience in his previous life.

A barbecue shop, selling cigarettes.

What they sold was fake cigarettes, which made him very angry.

There are too many fake cigarettes from Country H in Australia, and because the profits are huge, many people are doing it.

However, even if they are fake cigarettes, some of them taste better than Australia's local cigarettes, except for those of very low quality.

So people who buy fake cigarettes don’t bother to worry about these issues.

"Woo woo woo~ I was fined a lot of money this time."

"I've told you a long time ago not to get involved with someone like Thomas." Chen Xi remembered that he had reminded him last time.

"I thought it was okay... I didn't have to pay a dime, and I could still make money..."

"Oh, this is the result of being greedy for small gains. This time I have to pay the tuition fee."

For someone like Ouyang Ming, it would be good for him to learn a lesson from this incident.

Thomas, this bird man, I told you not to harm the people around me.

Is this guy doing this on purpose, or does he think my words are bullshit?
I have to find an opportunity to deal a lesson to this guy.

Chen Xi supported his chin and thought in his mind, but he didn't know much about Thomas.

"Why do you students always talk in class? You, come and answer the question." The teacher had already walked in at this time. He was deeply impressed by Chen Xi and others.

"The global Internet is developing very fast now, especially in Country H. E-commerce has already grown to a very large scale. What do you think?" The teacher pointed at Ouyang Ming because he appeared the most listless.

"The prices of things have become lower, and it's hard for my factory to make money." Ouyang Ming sat on the table, supporting his chin with his hand, and answered the teacher's questions lazily.

His family runs a clothing factory, and the rise of e-commerce has directly cut a large amount of his factory's profits.

"Well, what do you think?" The teacher pointed at Sun Cheng again.

"The factory has received more orders, but the boss' business is not doing well. Raw materials are starting to rise in price again, and more workers are recruited, but costs are also increasing..." Sun Cheng's family is in the fishing gear business, and several of them have factories at home, so naturally their first thought is about their family business.

"You have been talking about the factory all the time. If you have any other opinions, please say them." The teacher frowned. He didn't want to hear the same answer again.

This time the teacher was referring to a new face, whom Chen Xi had never seen before. He must be a new student.

"I think it's pretty good. Prices have dropped, there are more consumers, the express delivery and logistics business has improved, and many jobs have been created in various industries..."

"Why is this kind of thing not encouraged in foreign countries? You answer." The teacher pointed at Chen Xi.

"This question is a bit complicated. Technically speaking, foreign logistics and the Internet do not meet the requirements. From other aspects, this is a case of overtaking on a curve and a somewhat abnormal development. Everything has its pros and cons. Although e-commerce has stimulated economic development..." Chen Xi expressed his views. For consumers, e-commerce is indeed a benefit, but for factory owners it is simply a nightmare.

On the surface, it seems that a lot of orders have been added, but in reality, the factory owners' profits have been squeezed dry.

In addition, with the improvement of labor laws, employee insurance premiums have become a huge expense, which has caused those bosses to be unable to continue their work.

The current situation is that some companies control the factory's profits within a certain range through precise calculations, and will not let you go bankrupt in a short period of time. When the factory encounters some problems, such as being unable to repay bank loans, they will find another factory to do the business.

The labor costs abroad are high and the population is small, which leads to the fact that e-commerce is not so popular.

Moreover, there are many cities like Mocun, which has more than 300 districts. Each district has complete facilities, making shopping very convenient.

Coupled with shopping habits and various other factors, this also makes it difficult for e-commerce to become popular in Western countries.

There are also legal and tax issues. Many Western countries restrict low-price sales.

Conventional goods are not allowed to be sold below cost, which limits the ability of e-commerce companies to attract customers through low-price strategies.

There are usually no significant differences in tax policies between Western e-commerce and physical stores, which means that e-commerce does not have a cost advantage.

To sum up, we are too poor and we need to do something special to boost the overall economy.

With the continuous development of productivity, some small factories supported by e-commerce have emerged, making the factories urgently need to sell a large number of goods.

As commodity prices continue to fall, some special regions have emerged.

For example, Wushang Small Commodity Wholesale Market.

The development of foreign e-commerce is different. Companies like Amazon are completely different from domestic ones. They move products from factories in other countries to sell.

"It's all your fault. You've been dragging your feet and it's gotten to this point."

"I told you to come to school early, but you just want to earn that little bit of money?"

Just as the teacher was interacting with the students, a man and a woman sneaked in from the back of the classroom, both of them bent over for fear of being discovered.

"Hehe, if you're late, just sit down quickly and don't talk there." The teacher saw Shi Tao and Li Yuqing at a glance and urged each other in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, time for a break. You two really know how to pick the right time to come." The teacher looked at his watch. Now was his coffee time, so he naturally wouldn't stay in the classroom for long.

As long as it is not working hours, Australians will never work a second longer.

"Where were you two doing? Could it be..." Chen Xu raised his eyebrows at Li Yuqing and Shi Tao, obviously thinking that they were in a relationship.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Would I be attracted to this dark-skinned guy? Don't talk nonsense." Li Yuqing immediately refuted Chen Xu, and then looked at Chen Xi nervously, fearing that the other party would misunderstand her.

"Dark skin? How the hell am I dark? There's someone here who's darker than me! What's more, I don't like you! Ah~" Shi Tao pointed at Ouyang Ming. Compared to Ouyang Ming, Shi Tao's skin was slightly whiter.

However, he soon started to shout loudly because Li Yuqing had raised her hand and was about to hit him. "I got sunburned when I went fishing as a child. Why did you two bring me into your quarrel?" Ouyang Ming seemed to have spoken out his thoughts and was in a much better mood now.

"Haha." Chen Xi laughed out loud.

"Chen Xi, I... I'm doing purchasing on his behalf! This dark-skinned guy is lazy and only knows how to play games in the Internet cafe all day long. How could I possibly like him?" Li Yuqing blushed with anger and immediately began to explain.

"How's your business going, both of you?"

"We've just started out. Shi Tao's friend opened a maternity and baby store in China. Just now the milk powder incident happened, and now people in China have begun to purchase Australian milk powder in large quantities. I think business will definitely be good." Li Yuqing clasped her hands together, her face full of anticipation.

"Well, be careful when doing business and beware of being cheated." Chen Xi kindly reminded, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Ouyang Ming.

"Who can deceive me? Chen Xi, are you concerned about me?" Li Yuqing put her hands on her hips with a confident look on her face, but she soon showed a look of surprise and blinked her big eyes at Chen Xi.

"Ahem, we're still students now, and I'm worried that you two will get cheated... I'm going to the bathroom." He made up an excuse and stood up and walked out of the classroom.

In the teaching building, many students were chattering in the lounge, and from time to time you could see a few couples talking and talking about love.

Toilet door.

Just as Chen Xi was about to go in, he saw a tall boy walking out.

It's Thomas.

The two paused, looked at each other, and passed each other without saying anything.

Thomas made a lot of money from this fake cigarette incident.

When Ouyang Ming was reported, he decisively gave Thomas away. As the main supplier, Thomas was bound to face police investigation.

However, Thomas was well prepared. He knew this day was coming and had made adequate countermeasures in advance.

The police did not find any cigarettes at his place because all transactions between him and Ouyang Ming were conducted privately, all using cash, and there were no records of any purchases.

The transaction was not conducted in the store, so there was no surveillance video. This made Ouyang Ming bear all the responsibility alone.

"It seems like there are a lot of new students in the school." After returning to the classroom, Shi Tao pointed at the students around him.

There are obviously more Chinese students now, and I have never seen many of them before. It is obvious that they have just arrived in Australia, and their dress is similar to that of students in China.

"It's so rustic, what's so good about it?" Li Yuqing crossed her arms and glanced around the classroom.

In Li Yuqing's eyes, those freshmen had just arrived in Australia. Unlike her who came to study abroad very early, she still had some sense of superiority.

"Hey, beautiful. Nice to meet you. I'm Jerry, from Shanxi Province." A boy who had just answered the teacher's question in class came over. He was quite interested in beauties like Li Yuqing.

"What! I already have someone I like, so don't waste your time." Li Yuqing glanced at the big boy in front of her, crossed her arms, and said in a proud manner.

Chen Xi is still here, so she naturally wants to show her attitude in front of him.

Most of these people from Shanxi Province are coal bosses, and Li Yuqing looks down on these nouveau riche.

“……”The boy was very unhappy and turned away angrily.

"His name is Jerry, a very common English name. If you don't know, you might think it's a mouse." Li Yuqing kept complaining and glanced at Chen Xi.

In fact, she was already very happy in her heart. The appearance of this boy not only proved that she was popular, but also showed her loyalty in front of Chen Xi.

"Have you heard? Tuition fees are going to increase next year." Sun Cheng also came back from meeting with Gu Xinxiu at this time.

"The Australian dollar has fallen so much that it's natural to raise the fees."

"In fact, there is no change. It is actually cheaper when converted into Chinese currency."

"That's true, Chen Xi. It looks like your cram school is going to make a lot of money. With so many students, you can raise the fees a bit."

Everyone present expressed their opinions.

Chen Xi nodded.

Raising the price is necessary, as they are now the largest cram school in Mo Village.

Given Matthew's fame, there's nothing wrong with raising the price a bit. Anyway, the new students don't know the previous tuition fees.

"Chen Xi, Chen Xi. You see I'm such a good student, how about I become your teacher?" Li Yuqing seemed to have discovered a way to get rich, and she begged quickly.

The image of a beautiful teacher has already appeared in her fantasy.

"Qingqing, you should just focus on your business..." Chen Xi shook his head. At this moment, he was still thinking about Thomas, and subconsciously he said the nickname he had for Li Yuqing in his previous life.

"Chen Xi, what did you call me just now?" Li Yuqing suddenly blushed and became excited. At this time, she thought she had just heard it wrong, and couldn't wait to ask again.

"Well, Li Yuqing, you have to concentrate on doing one thing well and stop thinking about useless things. Your academic performance is good, so just decide to be a teacher." Chen Xi coughed and reorganized his words.

"No, you didn't call me that just now..." Li Yuqing took a step back, put her head in her hands, and began to think about what had just happened. She was a little unsure if she had heard it wrong.

As for becoming a teacher, she had long forgotten about it.

Shi Tao and others were still chatting nearby. Seeing Li Yuqing acting like a neurotic person, they couldn't help but shook their heads.

"What's wrong with this crazy woman again?" Shi Tao couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked at Li Yuqing's silly look.
