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

Chen Xi agreed with what the teacher said. In the past, when someone came to him to seek investment, Chen Xi would look at the person’s past experience, see what projects the other party had done, and then analyze the reasons for the failure.

Sometimes he would let the other party speak for themselves. If he encountered someone who made all kinds of excuses, Chen Xi would naturally deduct points from him.

There are also people who, although their projects have failed, are brave enough to take responsibility and have a daring and fighting spirit, in which case Chen Xi will give them extra points.

Most people may understand these things, but it is still difficult to judge when you actually encounter them in real life.

"Teacher, I am a loyal and honest person, and I never give up even after many failures. Why can't I find someone to invest in me?" Ouyang Ming was a little unconvinced.

He felt that his brain worked better than others, that he could always come up with new ideas, and that he had a long-term vision. He was determined to do big business, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

I haven’t received any investment so far, and that’s just bad luck and other people’s poor vision.

"I've been talking to you so far, so let me briefly talk about the first impression you gave me. How should I put it? I don't know if you are very capable, but you are very arrogant anyway."

"Hahaha, Brother Ou is being criticized again." Chen Xu next to him covered his mouth and laughed.

"Of course I'm very capable. Liya praised me last night." Ouyang Ming muttered softly.

"Teacher, if you were an investor, what would you choose in Australia at present?" Chen Xi also raised a question.

Because he knew that these university teachers were all capable, and listening to their opinions might not be a bad thing.

"Ha, if I were an investor...it also depends on the identity of the investor. To put it in a broader sense, if I were the boss of those consortiums, I would mostly choose a more stable industry. Because the structure of the consortiums in Australia is relatively complex, and many old guys don't like new things. They think that investing in them is more risky. If a board meeting is held, the group's funds will most likely be allocated to mining and finance. The young people in the consortium are more optimistic about the medical field, and some will also pay attention to the Internet and stocks. If I were the boss...I would invest in some relatively stable industries in Australia, and then take part of the funds to the capital market in the United States...and then invest part of the money in new industries in Asia...As for Europe, I think Deutsche's equipment can be considered..." The teacher said as he wrote in front of the blackboard with a pen.

"Teacher, Australia's mineral resources have suffered a major blow this time. What do you think?" Chen Xi asked again.

"Haha, these mining companies in Australia have been spoiled. In fact, international trade like minerals is not just a simple transaction, it also involves diplomatic aspects. What do you think are the advantages of Australia's minerals?

Let me tell you, Australia is located in Oceania, and its geographical conditions are unique. But around it, there are some Asian countries that produce a lot of minerals, not to mention South America.

Who is the biggest customer paying for Australia’s minerals?
Why don't they import from closer home?

Think about it yourself.

The blow to the Australian economy this time is quite complicated, especially at the critical point of the trade war. I think it was done by the financial tycoons in the United States. "The teacher analyzed while stroking his chin.

"Teacher, then why don't you think it was done by people in Asia?" Chen Xi asked back.

"Haha, because I was born in the United States, I am very familiar with the working style of the people there. They like to make money by taking advantage of the chaos. As for Asia, it is very difficult for individuals or private institutions with this strength to mobilize large amounts of funds to do these things. First of all, they must obtain approval from the relevant departments. I think the possibility is not great..." The teacher's analysis was very logical.

"Then who do you think operated it?"

"I don't know about that." The teacher shook his head.

For something like this, it would be embarrassing if you guessed wrong, so it’s better not to guess.

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of him, Chen Xi stopped talking.

After class, Chen Xi and his group walked along the path towards the restaurant.

"Chen Xi, let me tell you... Hey, what is this, Li Xin won the third place in global university architectural design..." Li Yuqing chattered all the way, and when passing by the school's bulletin board, she was attracted by a large poster.

"I didn't expect this guy to be so powerful." Chen Xi looked at the content on the poster and praised.

This is not just an Australian competition, it's a global university competition. And the architectural design of Deedee University is not very famous. The best architectural design in Melbourne should be RMIT. It can be said that Li Xin's ranking is a bit amazing.

Chen Xi knew that this competition was not so fair, and sometimes it also depended on the school's resources. After all, the people who scored were all human beings, and those judges might have come from some famous school, so they would most likely favor their own alma mater.

"He's only third place, what's there to promote? I can't eat when I think of his dead face. This guy was so rude to me in the primitive jungle..." The bad memories from the past made Li Yuqing's mouth turn into a machine gun again.

"Ah? You can't eat? Then we'll go eat by ourselves!" Shi Tao raised his eyebrows.

"If you don't know how to talk, don't talk. Who said I couldn't eat? I suddenly have a good appetite again."

Chen Xi looked at the pair of enemies and shook his head helplessly.

Principal's office.

"Student Li Xin, you have stood out in this global competition and won excellent results, which not only demonstrates your outstanding talent, but also wins great honor for Didi University. On behalf of all the teachers and students of the school, I would like to express my sincere thanks and congratulations to you. Your achievements are the light of Didi University and the pride of all of us.

By the way, what are your plans after graduation? I can write a recommendation letter for you. You can work for any well-known construction company in Australia. According to Australia's current immigration policy, young people like you who have outstanding talents and outstanding contributions are fully qualified and capable of easily obtaining residency status and further displaying your talents and ambitions in this land." The principal praised the boy in front of him.

She really hoped that Li Xin could stay in Australia.

Talents like this will definitely shine after graduation. When they become famous and are interviewed, they can say that they graduated from Didi University. If the university awards him an honorary title, it will surely attract many young people to apply for Didi University.

Moreover, those celebrities would donate to the school from time to time, so successive presidents would choose to retain the top talents among the international students.

"Well, thank you for your kindness, Principal. I haven't thought about what to do after graduation, and I will consider your suggestion..." Li Xin neither refused nor agreed, but just nodded with a smile, although the smile was still so stiff.

In the Chinese restaurant next to the school.

"Boss, your menu has been like this since I first entered college. How come several years have passed and there is no change at all?" Li Yuqing took the piece of paper with a bit of patina and shook it in the air.

Chen Xi knew that Li Yuqing liked new things, and it could be said that most girls nowadays were like this.

The milk tea should be different every day. If you let her drink only one flavor, she will definitely not be able to stand it.

However, Chen Xi is just the opposite. He only eats the same food every time he goes to McDonald's, for fear that the new food he eats may be a "winner".

"Then you also need me to be able to cook other things. Some of the food here is gone, and we have changed two chefs." The boss laughed cheerfully.

She had a deep impression of this girl and would complain every time she came to eat there, saying the food was either too salty or too sweet.

Li Yuqing is from Jiangcheng. She usually feels uncomfortable if she doesn't eat something spicy. This restaurant serves the Shanghai style, which is not suitable for her.

If there weren't other Chinese restaurants nearby, Li Yuqing wouldn't have come here at all.

"Boss, isn't there a Hungry Dragon takeaway now? Have you cooperated with them?" Chen Xi greeted the woman.

"No, our store specializes in making dumplings. Food with soup inside will most likely spill when it's delivered to your home. And we're only open until eight o'clock in the evening every day. The people who come here to eat are generally students from Didi University. They won't come when they don't have classes..." The boss shook his head.

"Boss, if there is a way, such as special takeout boxes, to ensure the quality of food, would you consider cooperating with the takeout company?"

"That also requires calculating the cost. In Australia, there are many takeaway boxes that cannot be used, like the foam lunch boxes used during Chinese New Year. I heard that Green Dang is always clamoring for environmental protection, and I heard that even beverage straws will be eliminated in the future..."

"Haha, how can we drink beverages without straws? Who will buy smoothies from 7-11? Green Dinner deals with all these messy things every day..." Li Yuqing complained immediately after hearing what her boss said.

"That's nothing. You've never seen a vegetarian. I once met a few foreigners who came to my restaurant to make trouble, saying that my dumplings had meat fillings, which was disrespectful to animals..." the boss recalled.

"Then how did you deal with it?"

"I showed off a whole steak in front of them and made them so mad! Hahaha." The proprietress laughed with her hands on her hips.

"Hahaha." Chen Xi and others also applauded.

"Oh, this reminds me of my high school life. I remember when the school took us fishing, we caught the fish, but the foreigners criticized us for being too cruel. We used to kill fish with scissors or knives, but they asked us to hit the fish's head with pliers, saying that this would reduce the pain..." Sun Cheng told a story about high school. "There are so many problems. The Australian pigs are electrocuted instead of being bled directly. There are always foreign students complaining that the pork has a bad smell, which makes the pork sales in our restaurant very low..." the proprietress responded excitedly.

But Chen Xi shook his head.

Regarding the fact that pork from abroad has a porky smell, he doesn't think that is the problem.

The Western way of slaughtering pigs is not simply "electrocuting the pigs without bleeding them". In fact, modern slaughtering methods, both at home and abroad, have adopted a more scientific and humane approach. Electric shock or carbon dioxide stunning is the standard step to make the pigs unconscious, and then bleeding them. This step is key in the slaughter process because it helps preserve and improve the appearance of the meat. Not bleeding will cause the meat to rot easily and cause bruises on the surface.

Regarding the pig smell of pork, it mainly comes from androstenone (also known as androstenone) and skatole in the boar's body. These two substances work together in the boar's body, making pork smell fishy. Skatole is the smell of pig feces, mainly found in the large intestine, while androstenone is mainly found in boars. Because Western countries prohibit castration of animals for animal welfare reasons, boars secrete these substances during their growth.

Furthermore, Chen Xi felt that it was a matter of habit.

He has been in Australia for quite a long time and he doesn't feel any fishy smell when he eats pork normally. But after returning to China, he sometimes smells a fishy smell when he eats pork from China.

Some international students have stayed in the country for a long time and may feel a little uncomfortable when they first go abroad.

The cooking method is also very important, such as frying, deep-frying, roasting, etc., combined with the addition of spices, can mask or reduce the odor of pork.

For example, in some places in Guangdong Province, the food is lighter, and less seasoning is used to preserve the original flavor of the food. In foreign countries, there are more fried foods, which can easily cover up the odor.

"Click."

"Welcome, what would you like to eat?"

At this time, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a tall boy walked in. The proprietress went up to greet him enthusiastically.

Chen Xi and others turned their heads and saw that the person coming was actually Thomas, a celebrity at Didi University.

Thomas looked at them, smiled slightly, and even waved and said hello.

Ouyang Ming turned his head away in displeasure. He didn't want to see this bastard who had betrayed him.

Thomas knew that he was not welcome, so he found a small corner and sat down.

When the meal came, Chen Xi and others started chatting again.

Unexpectedly, before they had even taken a few bites of the meal, Li Xin walked into the restaurant and actually walked straight up to Thomas and sat down.

Holy shit, when did these two get together?

Chen Xi, who was observing secretly, was shocked.

"What are these two doing? Are they gay? I was wondering why that dead-faced guy is always so cold to women. Turns out he has a problem with his sexual orientation." Li Yuqing's sharp tongue came into play again. She had been treated like that by Li Xin before, and she even thought she was not pretty.

At the table next to them, Li Xin and Thomas were looking at each other.

Looking at that look from the side, one can't help but think of homosexuality.

"What are your plans after graduation?" Thomas spoke first.

"Go back home, everything has been arranged at home." Li Xin said without emotion.

"The country is developing very fast now. I suggest you go work for Hengxiao Group."

"Is this why you asked me out today?" Li Xin raised his eyelids.

"Of course not entirely. We are both people with ideals. We want to build our own business empire when we return to China. Don't you think we have something in common? That is, our ideas are not recognized by ordinary people." Thomas deliberately glanced at Chen Xi and others beside him.

Li Xin didn't look at the side, because when he just came in, he found Chen Xi sitting there. He took a sip of water and said, "Don't underestimate him... You just said to build your own business empire. I am a student of architectural design. My family also has an engineering company. After graduation, I mostly work at home. How can I build my own business?"

"Real estate is not as simple as buying land and building buildings. There are many industries related to real estate. Don't always focus on buildings..."

"What do you want to say?"

"We are classmates and members of the association. We are all about to return to China with our dreams. We should help each other in the future."

"I'm just a designer. How can I help you? How can you help me?" Li Xin spoke very directly, leaving Thomas speechless.

However, he still patiently said, "Building a building requires advance payment, and construction materials are also needed. You think these things are dispensable now, but if you encounter any trouble in the future, maybe I can help you solve it?"

Li Xin didn't say anything after hearing this. He silently picked up the water and took a sip.

"Okay, let's not talk about the distant past. Let's just say that the atmosphere in the association is very tense right now. I know you like Shen Xinyi, but she seems to only have eyes for Chen Xi. Don't you have the urge to defeat your love rival?" Thomas stretched his head and covered his mouth, and whispered.

Li Yuqing chewed food but kept looking to the side: "What are those two doing? Eh~ So disgusting. Are they going to kiss? The end is so long. It turns out that there are such weird international students in our school. I want to tell everyone about this so that other international students can avoid it..."

"Eat your meal. Your chin is like a colander, and all the rice grains are falling out." Shi Tao spoke vaguely while chewing the meat in his mouth.

"Can you shut up? The food in your mouth is about to touch my plate. I don't want to kiss you indirectly." Li Yuqing retorted.

Boxhill Pharmacy.

Jin Nana was holding a medicine bottle and asking around: "Doctor, what exactly is this medicine? It says vitamins on it, but it doesn't look like anything like it to me."

"How should I know that?" A white lady who was holding medicine at the counter rolled her eyes.

"You're not a doctor, how come you don't know?"

"Who told you I'm a doctor? I'm just a pharmacist. If you want to know what this medicine is, you have to register upstairs first." The aunt pointed to the outpatient clinic upstairs.

In Australian pharmacies, the profession responsible for dispensing and picking up medicines is called a pharmacist. Pharmacists are not only responsible for preparing and dispensing medicines for patients according to doctors' prescriptions, but also responsible for providing patients with professional advice and consultation on drug use, health, disease prevention, etc.

In 2010, pharmacists were considered a scarce profession in Australia, with good salaries and it was easy to apply for immigration.

This middle-aged woman was not very happy about being assigned to the Chinese area, and she was naturally very impatient when Jin Nana kept asking her questions.

"Why are you so fierce? What's so great about being a pharmacist? Isn't it still hard to become a doctor? If you can become a doctor, would you still become a pharmacist?" Jin Nana left the counter with the medicines, cursing.

In Australia, although it is easier for pharmacists to obtain a license than doctors, it is not easy either.

To become a pharmacist, you usually need to complete a bachelor's or master's degree program accredited by the Australian Pharmacists Association. These courses have high academic requirements and require students to have solid basic knowledge of pharmacy and practical skills.

After completing their studies, pharmacists also need to do a certain period of internship to gain practical experience. During the internship, pharmacists need to participate in actual work under the guidance of their mentors and accumulate practical operation experience.

After completing the internship, pharmacists also need to take the pharmacist examination organized by the Australian Pharmacists Association. The examination covers pharmaceutical knowledge, practical skills, ethics and other aspects, requiring candidates to have comprehensive professional qualities and comprehensive abilities.

In comparison, it is even more difficult for doctors.

For the entrance examination, medical students need to take the medical entrance examination (such as UCAT, ISAT, GAMSAT, etc.) and obtain a higher ATAR score.

The things that come after that are much more difficult than being a pharmacist, and often some people haven’t graduated for more than ten years…

Jin Nana took the medicine, looked in the direction of the outpatient clinic and began to ponder... (End of this chapter)
