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

Chapter 527 Darwin
"Help!"

"here!"

The two girls from Sakura Country had long lost their previous fatigue, and were jumping and waving their arms on the beach.

However, their shouts could not be heard in the heavy rain, and the boat was so far away that it would be useless even if they shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Stop shouting, it's useless. The ship is so far away. And there is no light on it. Something is wrong." Chen Xi told them not to waste their energy.

But Ayako and Aoi ignored her and shouted even louder.

"Puff~" a wave came over and a ray of light appeared in the distance.

Chen Xi looked closely and it seemed to be a small boat.

"Wait where you are and do not go into the water without permission." A horn sounded on the boat.

"It's the rescue team." Chen Xi hugged Shen Xinyi and comforted her.

The two girls from Sakura Country beside me knelt on the beach and cried bitterly. The rescue team at this time was like divine soldiers to them.

When Chen Xi looked into the distance again, he found that the ghost ship that seemed to be there and not there had disappeared.

"There are still two tourists who have not been found." After getting on the boat, the rescue team staff counted the number of people.

With help, Chen Xi and others dried themselves and got a cup of hot coffee, which warmed them up immediately.

"I will never come here to swim again. What a horrible weather."

"Luckily I wasn't eaten by a shark."

"We bought insurance before we went into the water, so we're not afraid."

"If the person is dead, what's the point of asking for money?"

"I think I just saw a sea monster. A really big one."

"What kind of sea monster is this? I think I saw a ship."

Hearing the discussions of the tourists around him, Chen Xi became more certain that he was not dazzled, and that it was indeed a ship.

The rescue team searched on the sea for a long time but found no trace of the two tourists, so they prepared to return and send other search and rescue teams to continue the search.

Chen Xi slept very soundly that night. He felt a little unwell when he woke up the next day and even sneezed. He must have caught a cold from the cold yesterday.

He looked at the time and it was already noon, but Shen Xinyi hadn't called him to get up yet.

"Ding Dong." After tidying up, he rang the bell of the next room.

After three or four minutes, the door was opened.

Shen Xinyi looked very bad, obviously she was sick.

"Sorry, I overslept. I'll pack up and go to the airport soon." Shen Xinyi said sickly.

"You have a fever, so we won't go today." Chen Xi touched her forehead.

"That won't do. We have already made an appointment with the client. We can't break our promise." Shen Xinyi shook her head and refused.

She is such a person, she is still very particular about principles. Chen Xi knew that if he forced her to stay here, it would be counterproductive.

"Okay, I'll go buy you some medicine first." Chen Xi helped her back to bed.

Ten minutes later, in the pharmacy next to the hotel.

"There are so many sick people recently. You are the ones found by the rescue team yesterday. I heard that some of them have not been found yet." The clerk is a middle-aged woman. She will chat with every customer who comes here.

"Yeah, I was almost washed away by the waves." Chen Xi responded.

"You Asians may not be used to it, but we locals like to swim like this in the sea. Every year, people get into accidents here, but the number of people swimming here only increases. Young people nowadays like excitement, and they like to go to dangerous places. Yesterday, a group of people got drunk and fought over a football, and today they came here to buy medicine. It's really funny."

"Have a lot of people gone missing recently?" Chen Xi thought of the missing girl from Sakura Country.

"Yes, there is sea all around, so it is normal for a few people to be swept away by the sea."

"I'm not referring to this. Is there any crime going on?"

"Criminal incident? There aren't many people here, how could there be any criminal incident? If you want to put it that way, there really was one, but it happened a long time ago. A woman had killed many children, but this was the only major case in all these years, and it was even reported in the Australian newspapers..."

There seemed to be very few customers here, and the aunt was usually very bored, so she talked a lot.

However, Chen Xi still heard a piece of news from the aunt's words, that is, it was not just the two tourists who went into the sea who disappeared yesterday.

Because some people found some broken clothes and shoes on the beach.

"Xinyi, take the medicine first." After returning to the hotel, Shen Xinyi had already finished washing up. She sat on the bed blankly, took the medicine handed to her by Chen Xi and put it into her mouth.

"Let's go, otherwise we will miss the plane." Shen Xinyi stood up and Chen Xi helped her out the door.

Darwin is the capital and main port of northern Australia. It is located on the northwest coast, at the northern end of the northeast entrance of Darwin Port in the Timor Sea. It is one of Australia's closest cities to Asia.

This was originally a barren land inhabited by Aboriginal people. The discovery of gold in 1880 made it rapidly prosperous. In 1911, Australia established the Northern Territory and officially named the city Darwin.

The indigenous people here are the Larrakia people. Portraits of indigenous people are dotted on the walls of high-rise buildings in the city center, and indigenous sculptures and public art works can be seen everywhere.

Like Kai Village, the population here is only about 100,000 people, but its construction is much better than that of tourist cities.

This is partly because it was severely damaged by a hurricane several decades ago, but it was later rebuilt and became one of the developed cities with modern streets and buildings.

But to be honest, the construction of Da Village and Kai Village would be considered suburban level compared with Mo Village and Xi Village.

After finding a hotel to settle Shen Xinyi, Chen Xi went to look for clients alone.

There are Chinese people in every place in Australia, even in such a remote northern border, people come to invest. Looking at the many unfinished buildings in front of him, Chen Xi suddenly remembered an important event in his previous life.

"Damn it, why can't we use foreign banknotes here? I can't use Chinese currency, but my currency is US dollar, can't I use it? Isn't it said that US dollar is accepted worldwide? The internet is full of scams."

"We don't accept foreign currency here. If you cause trouble again, I'll call the police."

"The money is all here, take it yourself. I don't understand what you are saying."

"Speak English."

"Fuck you, you're still screaming."

While Chen Xi was thinking, a quarrel was heard in a fast food restaurant next to him. Two men were communicating in different languages, and one of them was speaking Chinese.

"boom!"

"Fuck you, you bastard. What do you want to do with the phone? Are you going to ask someone to beat me up?"

"Why did you grab my phone?"

The quarrel in the store suddenly became intense, and Chen Xi looked inside. A man in a dirty coat was struggling with a sturdy foreigner, and a broken phone was lying on the ground.

"What's going on?" Chen Xi asked in both Chinese and English.

"Chinese? Great, I don't have any money from this country. This guy won't accept this money, nor that money..."

"Please translate for him. This guy didn't want to pay, but he actually got physical."

The foreigner picked up the phone, pointed at the Chinese man and spoke loudly.

More than ten minutes later, outside the fast food restaurant. "Thank you so much, my name is... my name is Wang Xun. Take the money as you like, there are both Chinese and American dollars." The man took out a handful of crumpled bills and handed them to Chen Xi.

"Haha, forget it. We are all Chinese and it's only natural for us to help each other abroad." Looking at the few dollars' worth of bills, Chen Xi waved his hand.

The total amount is probably only twenty dollars, but I just paid more than one hundred Australian dollars for him.

"Well...thank you then." As if he had noticed something, the man awkwardly put away the money in his hand.

"He must have come here illegally." Chen Xi handed a cigarette to the man.

"You...how do you know?" The man suddenly became alert and reached into his pocket.

"You didn't let that foreign guy make the call because you were afraid of attracting the police. The name Wang Xun is probably fake."

“……” The man didn’t say anything, but the answer was written all over his face.

"Don't be nervous. If I wanted to tell the police, I would have helped that foreigner just now. There are so many people who sneak in here. I don't bother to care about this. I help you because you are a compatriot. Well, I have things to do. Bye!"

"What's your name?"

"Xi!"

"Xi?"

The man looked at the other person's departing back and muttered to himself.

The most prosperous area in Darwin is the southwest, where shopping malls and office buildings are all concentrated.

Inside a cafe on Cavenagh St.

This time the customer was different from the uncles and aunts in Kaicun. He was a middle-aged man who wore glasses and looked more gentle.

"If I hadn't encountered some problems in my business this time, I wouldn't have made excuses for such a small amount of money. But to be honest, I really can't pay the follow-up money now. It's only three streets from here to the beach. I have a lot of warehouses over there. After renting them out or selling them, I will have enough money and pay off the debt. What do you think?" Although the man's words were sincere, in the business world, there are always people who make up lies.

Chen Xi didn't want to come here a second time for him.

"Why did you think of investing here? I see that you seem to be doing big business, so you should invest the money in Mo Village or Xi Village." Chen Xi took a sip of coffee and looked at the man again.

"Hey, you don't know, this is the closest city to China. I thought there was a port here and trade would be frequent in the future, but it turned out that I thought too much. Now the ships go directly to Mo Village, Xi Village, and A Village to unload goods..." The man sighed.

"Why is the traffic at the port here so bad?" Chen Xi had not paid much attention to this small place before.

"Last year, the fluctuations in the global economy affected the activity of international trade, which in turn affected the cargo throughput of the port. In addition, the slowdown in economic growth and industrial restructuring in the region have led to a decrease in demand for shipping. Then there are policy reasons and natural disasters. The typhoon and tsunami in Darwin damaged the port facilities, and the workers went on strike, resulting in the interruption of port operations..." The man with glasses told him the current situation in detail.

"Well, is that convenient? Take me to see the warehouse."

"what are you up to?"

"Didn't you just say that you had to rent it out or sell it to pay our bills..."

Chen Xi finished his coffee amid the man's astonishment, then stood up and waved to him.

He wanted the bargain hunting incident that happened in Kai Village to happen again in Darwin, because when he came here before, he remembered a big event in his previous life.

Within a few years, Australia faced difficulties in the construction of Darwin Port and began to look for countries and companies to cooperate with around the world. After much effort, a Chinese company finally obtained the right to use Darwin Port and invested a lot of resources in its construction.

It can also be said that the group spent 5 million Australian dollars to lease the Port of Darwin for 99 years. This move not only transformed the Port of Darwin from a deserted place into a prosperous port, but also enhanced the status of the Port of Darwin in China's business.

As a result, cargo throughput increased and Dacun became prosperous. Most importantly, it will become an important maritime transit station.

However, due to the important economic and military value of Darwin Port and the presence of a certain country's marines stationed there, this lease has also attracted some international attention and controversy. However, this will happen a long time later.

"You are a really interesting person. You actually want to buy these unwanted warehouses of mine. However, everything here is new and the location is good. You can make a lot of money by buying them and renting them out..." The man with glasses in the warehouse took Chen Xi around to look around.

The location here is really good, next to the sea and the park, and most importantly, it is close to the pier.

There are several houses not far from the warehouse, so it is not a problem to sell them. However, there are not as many people coming to Da Village to buy houses as there are in Kai Village. The man with glasses probably won't be able to sell them for a while, so Chen Xi got a bargain.

After some bargaining, Chen Xi took over all the warehouses and houses. Anyway, he got a lot of money from Smith this time, so he now had plenty of cash.

"Aren't you in the engineering business? Why did you think of investing in Da Village?" the man with glasses asked curiously after reaching an agreement.

"I do all kinds of things. I have my own logistics company, and I can buy those houses for my employees to live in..." Chen Xi did not avoid the topic.

"Really? Then there is an opportunity for cooperation. I am mainly engaged in the dairy business. I often travel between Australia and New Zealand. Because of the funding problems in other businesses, I..."

A few hours later, Chen Xi looked at the business card in his hand and thought that this man was quite interesting.

After putting the card with Duan Peng's name on it into his pocket, Chen Xi hurried back to the hotel.

"Xinyi, are you feeling better?" In the hotel room, Chen Xi touched Shen Xinyi's forehead and took out a thermometer to measure her temperature.

Shen Xinyi lay on the bed weakly, her face flushed. She had sweated a lot today, her body was hot and cold, and her waist was aching.

"Why do you have a runny nose too? You should go back to your room and rest."

"Well, I guess I caught a little cold. I'm strong, so it's okay." Chen Xi took a tissue and wiped his nose.

"Is everything going smoothly?" Shen Xinyi opened her mouth and asked.

"That's great. I got a good deal again. This kind of good thing doesn't happen often in a few years." Chen Xi told the story exactly as it happened today, and the joy on his face could not be concealed.

With his relationship with Shen Lang, it would not be a problem for him to cooperate with the country in Darwin to make some big moves and then he could just reap the benefits.

He bought those warehouses and houses not simply to appreciate their value and then resell them, but to participate in the business of Chinese companies.

Sometimes, there is no share for you, but if you provide some help to the other party, the business will fall into your hands.

"Hehe, wherever you go, business comes to you, haha." Shen Xinyi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"Haha, I can't help it. I always meet noble people when I go out. What's wrong? Are you in pain all over?" Seeing Shen Xinyi sweating all the time and frowning, he lifted the quilt, asked her to lie down in a different position, and prepared to give her a massage.

"No...no thanks." Shen Xinyi waved her hand embarrassedly to refuse.

"Lie down." Chen Xi pressed her hands down and forced her to turn over.

"I...I..." Shen Xinyi was a bit socially awkward now. She was wearing a T-shirt on her upper body, but only underwear on her lower body. Fortunately, Chen Xi covered her lower body with a quilt, otherwise she would have jumped up by now.

Thinking that the other party had just seen her there, the blush on her face deepened a little.

Haha, she is quite conservative, wearing this ordinary white underwear, the same style as Jin Nana.

Other girls all wear sexy clothes.

Chen Xi, who was giving Shen Xinyi a massage, began to analyze other girls and immediately thought of Saori.

She seems to wear all kinds of styles.

It is said that a girl's underwear style can reflect her personality traits to a certain extent.

Girls who like simple style may pay more attention to practicality and conservatism, and may tend to be stable and traditional in character.

Girls who like fashionable and avant-garde styles may be more open-minded, courageous to try new things, and have a keen insight into fashion.

Girls who like boldness and sexiness may have a flamboyant personality, dare to express their charm, and have high requirements for their self-image.
