Chapter 207 The Ugly Old Man Worth 2 Million Hong Kong Dollars
In the next few days, Shen Chen lived a regular life, started running at 4 o'clock, worked for two hours in the morning, and then went shopping with Yang Xuanmei. The two went shopping in Hong Kong Island, and then went to the Kowloon area opposite Victoria Harbour.

Eating delicious food and watching the scenery along the way, Yang Xuanmei often catches up with foreigners to chat, such as people from Portugal and Spain who are traveling, as well as Hungary, Turkey, Montenegro, Poland, the Kingdom of India and so on.

Hong Kong City is an "international free port", and there are many people from all over the world.

When Shen Chen said with a smile: "You are a foreigner from the Kingdom of Thailand and you still call other people foreigners~"

Yang Xuanmei eloquently said, "I am a foreigner who sneaks in Chinese, they can't tell~"

The two of them also took a lot of photos, especially one of them——Yang Xuanmei with long hair and a shawl, wearing a cheongsam and black short high heels standing on an ancient bluestone street. The big yellow dog squinted and smiled, and the big flower was lazy. Da Huang's head was lying on Da Huang's head, while Da Ju was squatting on Yang Xuanmei's left foot. The sleepy staring look made people laugh out loud.

Even Li Chong, Zhang Le, Wan Xiaohong and others were overjoyed when they saw it, "Daju doesn't go to school or work, why did you ask him to get up?"

…………

Shen Chen can speak Chinese, English, South Vietnamese, and Thai fluently. In addition, he can also speak some Japanese, such as "Bageya Road", "Ya Butterfly", "Kawaii", "Want to wear Sinai", "Yasi Gigi" and so on.

This is learned from his Japanese secretary.

This is an office building from the 60s, which has been in disrepair for a long time. The dirt on the corridor floor tiles is clearly visible.

Shen Chen somewhat understood why the classmate surnamed Li just said that there were very few customers, but stopped talking.

Shen Chen was startled, the old man had a walnut-sized pimple on his right cheek, his face was wrinkled, and he looked like he was dying.

Zhang Chen obviously recognized him, and smiled politely at him.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Chen went to dinner with two acquaintances, and asked Shen Chen to join him, and Shen Chen readily agreed.

The area here is about 600 square meters. In addition to the large group classroom of 200 square meters, there are also small classrooms of about 50 square meters.

Shen Chen only found out later by chance that Teacher Qiu, who had a bun on his right cheek, turned out to be a professor of literature at a university. Later, his only daughter disappeared in Hong Kong. He thought it was because her daughter could not speak Cantonese, so he had nowhere to turn for help.

However, Cantonese is very popular in Hong Kong City, especially the 50-60 group. Some of them can only speak Cantonese, and it is very troublesome to communicate with them without Cantonese. Shen Chen decided to find a cram school.

People are very contradictory. Many people want to learn a language but are afraid of hardship.

"Hmm~ Do you want to learn Cantonese?"

After Zhang Chen talked about it, Shen Chen found out that old-fashioned teacher Qiu turned out to be the boss of the "Future Cantonese Training Class", and the venue was all his!
"The building is a bit broken, but it costs 10+ Hong Kong dollars per square meter, right? 600 square meters, that is, more than 6000 million Hong Kong dollars~" My sister Feng Lili is from Yun Province, and she came to work in Hong Kong City.

A few days later, Chen Chen brought here Li Chong and Yang Xuanmei, "fellow fellows" who also wanted to learn Cantonese.

In the small shop on the second floor not far away, four people ordered four glasses of beer, two large plates of skewers, and four small dishes of noodles with fried sauce. Doudou", the girl with long legs and ponytail is "Feng Lili".

I found two companies in Causeway Bay, and they only cover one year. The annual fee is 12 Hong Kong dollars, and there is one class a week. Go to the egg~
You can't be a fool even if you have money.

"You really can't tell what you look like~"

But I do know a good training class, the boss is serious and responsible, with a pure accent. "

"Hey, it takes 180 lessons."

In addition, I inadvertently learned from the chat that Mr. Qiu came to Hong Kong as a teaching assistant in the early years, and there are tens of millions of deposits in the advertising business bank, so this "ugly" old man is worth 2 million Hong Kong dollars+.

Perhaps it was because of the high total price and the long class hours, Shen Chen felt that the old man seemed to pay more attention to the 180-class class.

Then he discovered how powerful the "language skills book" given by the system was, and he learned South Vietnamese in a very short time.

After eating, Shen Chen came to the place introduced by classmate Li. It was very close to the place where he learned the flute. The straight-line distance was only 200 meters, and the walking distance was only about 300 meters.

"This is the dictation room, and there is a speaking and reading room next to it." After speaking softly, the old man clapped his hands suddenly, attracting everyone's attention and introducing Shen Chen.

"The training effect of this training class is very good~"

"Yes, but the boss seems to have something to hide. He only pays for the training courses with poor business, teachers' fees, water, electricity and sanitation fees, etc., and hardly makes any money~" Zhang Chen spit out the chicken bones in his mouth, shaking his head sigh.

I found two more in Central, and found that the teaching was like a child's play, and their pronunciation was not accurate, but the "teachers" were all handsome men and beautiful women. Shen Chen once suspected that their training courses were just a cover to deceive others, to do something shameful act.

Mr. Qiu summed it up, not only has the situation of making ends meet completely changed, but he can also earn 30 Hong Kong dollars a month.

After all, more than ten years ago, there were very few people in Hong Kong City who knew Mandarin, which is far from what it is now. Even if they can't speak it, many people can understand a few words.

Shen Chen wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead. Feng Lili's sister underestimated this place before. The price of an office building here is not 10 Hong Kong dollars per square meter, but 20 Hong Kong dollars.

Shen Chen entered a classroom and sat down by the window, and found that there were a dozen people inside who were studying with a tablet and headphones.

Chen Chen immediately understood that short courses such as 12 lessons should be prepared for those who want to learn quickly.

Therefore, Yang Xuanmei and Li Zhong's study fees were directly discounted by 5%.

Aware of this, Shen Chen suggested to Mr. Qiu to do more publicity. Since he wants to find his daughter, he can go to TV stations and newspapers to advertise and even invite experts in private detectives to participate in the search if he has money.

The old man took Shen Chen around here, and after the introduction, he said some precautions.

After practicing the flute that day, I had dinner with a few "music students" who also learned the flute, and each drank three bottles of beer. A student surnamed Li heard that Shen Chen was looking for a Cantonese training class, and said casually:
"Hey, there are a lot of scammers who hold training courses. People from many countries come to work in Hong Kong and find it inconvenient not to speak Cantonese, so scammers focus on these people.

Shen Chen was not stage-frightened either, he introduced himself generously as a student, wanted to learn Cantonese, hoped that everyone would take care of him, and then sat down, he didn't use the black tablet handed over by the old man, he just used his own mobile phone.

I found door 806. An old man was drowsy behind the counter, his head was shaking. There was a fly swatter next to him. There was a lot of soil in a long glass tank in front of him, and ants were eating flies.

Shen Chen's Cantonese learning career has begun.

"One class costs 1 Hong Kong dollars for 45 minutes. There are 200 classes, 12 classes, 24 classes... 36 classes to choose from." The old man spoke Mandarin with a clear accent.

"Yes, how to charge?"

After getting acquainted, Shen Chen discovered that Mr. Qiu was very gifted in languages. Although he is from Hubei Province, he has a pure Cantonese accent. There are 6 oral English teachers in the training class, and the students all want to talk to him to practice oral English.

But what surprised Shen Chen was that he actually saw Zhang Chen from "Financially Free Couple" in the back corner of the classroom.

Teacher Qiu was skeptical at first, but found 2 handsome guys and 2 beautiful women to be on stage, and stepped up publicity efforts. Within a week, the number of students really increased.

Although Mr. Qiu has a "stern" face, he is a very nice person. It is true that he doesn't care too much about whether the training class makes money or not.

Chen Chen stamped his feet. The voice-activated light in the dark corridor didn't light up. It must have been broken.

Knowing Teacher Qiu's worth, Yang Xuanmei sighed with her little tongue out.

On September 2016, 9, Shen Chen's masterpiece "The Profound Meaning of Management: Unity" was printed for the first time with 22 copies, and it began to be sold in Hong Kong City, Shenzhen, Singapore, Saigon, Bangkok, and Phnom Penh at the same time. The price is equivalent to RMB 10. The four languages, Chinese, English, Thai, and Vietnamese, were all written by Shen Chen.

He asked his professor, Qin Zheng, an expert in management, to write the preface. Qin Zheng was very happy and spoke highly of the book in the preface, especially one sentence: "One of the professional books that managers must read." .

Chen Chen was slightly ashamed.
