Chapter 238 Shanghai, Germany(1/2)

After buying the diamond ring, Mengdu and Liping went downstairs...

When they came downstairs, they saw that most of the members of the Golden Autumn Group were waiting at the big door of the store.

So Mengdu and Liping quickly walked out of the store gate and stood with everyone.

After about ten minutes, the tour guide Luo Luo saw that the members were basically here and nodded, but he did not miss any of them.

So Luo led the Jinqiu Group to the place where the minibus was parked.

It was less than three minutes' walk and everyone got on the bus.

After the members of the group sat down, the tour guide Ronaldo said a few words to the driver in French, and the driver immediately started the car.

After driving, the tour guide Ronaldo habitually picked up the microphone and prepared to introduce the tour group to the next itinerary:

"Dear friends, today, we visited the Fengmill Village and Folk Village, and also visited the diamond processing factory. Many of our friends also bought their favorite wooden shoes and diamond jewelry. I believe that everyone must have left a deep impression on the city of Amsterdam! At the same time, the diamond jewelry and wooden shoes we purchased were more than one-third more than the purchase in China. In other words, if a friend bought a diamond ring, this item alone would earn about 10,000 yuan for himself. This is the salary of more than three ordinary domestic employees! Below--"

"Hey, wait, Luo, what did you say? Buying a diamond ring is about 10,000 yuan cheaper than in China?!"

After listening to Xiao Luo’s introduction, a member of the group surnamed Li in the Jinqiu Group screamed in surprise.

"Yes, I'm going to introduce you to you on the way from the Folk Village?"

Luo replied with a smile.

"Ah, no, today, I only bought one diamond ring. Since the price difference is so big, I will buy one for my sister. Please tell the driver, can I buy another ring?"

The group member surnamed Li asked in a pleading tone.

"Then——, who else does anyone need to buy it?"

The tour guide Xiao Luo glanced at his friend surnamed Li, and then looked at other members of the group with consultation.

"Oh, since there is such a big difference, I'll buy two more diamond necklaces!"

Mr. Liu, a great man from Shandong, immediately raised his hand to express his response.

It seems that Mr. Liu is not only straightforward in character, but also considers the problem from the perspective of a businessman.

"Yes, I'm going to buy two more diamond rings too!"

"I want to buy another diamond necklace, too!"

Under the influence of the group members surnamed Li and General Liu, several group members in the car raised their hands to respond.

"Mengdu, why don't we buy a diamond necklace for my mother?"

Liping heard that buying a diamond ring would save tens of thousands of yuan than in China, and she was also moved by everyone. So she made suggestions to Meng who was sitting beside her.

"No need! My mother is an old lady, why are you wearing a diamond necklace? I won't buy it!"

Mengdu immediately denied Liping's suggestion.

"Okay. Since so many friends still want to buy diamond jewelry, I will ask the driver to wait for a while. If you need to continue purchasing jewelry, please get out of the car now! If you don't need to buy, please wait a little in the car."

After the tour guide Luo Luo nodded to the members of the car, he turned his head and "communicated" with the minibus driver in French.

The driver immediately turned off the car motor and pressed a button on the bridge, and the minibus "door" opened again.

So, seven or eight people went down from the car.

The remaining group members continued to stay in the car and talked about the quality, style, price, and characteristics of the diamond jewelry produced by the factory.

After waiting for about half an hour, the group members who got off the car and bought diamond jewelry were finally back.

When they got on the bus, they had satisfied smiles on their faces, and they were chattering about the diamond jewelry they had just purchased, as if they had picked up a big ingot.

Seeing that the staff were all here, the tour guide Luo asked the minibus driver to restart the car.

"Hello everyone! Just now, I saw my friends who got off the car to buy diamond jewelry for the second time. They were all smiling and excited! Everyone must be particularly satisfied with the jewelry they purchased, and they were also very excited for saving a lot of cash, right?"

After driving, Xiao Luo teased everyone in relaxed language.

“That’s a must!”

The Shandong man replied loudly:

"Think about it, buying a decoration will save at least 10,000 yuan compared to the country. If you buy two or three, you will get the group fee for my trip to Western Europe! Then isn't it equivalent to a free trip this time?"

"Yes, just now, I bought two more diamond rings. Together, I bought three diamond rings here. According to Mr. Liu, this time I am traveling for free!"

The group member surnamed Li happily showed off his words with Mr. Liu.

"Well, it's very good! As long as everyone is satisfied, my tour guide will feel comforted! Now, we are leaving Amsterdam and heading to Cologne, Germany."

The tour guide Luo saw that everyone had sat in their respective seats, so he started introducing the itinerary again.

"Oh, let's leave Amsterdam now? Ronaldo, how many kilometers does it take to go from Amsterdam to Cologne?"

After hearing Xiao Luo's introduction, General Manager Liu from Shandong asked loudly with a loud question to the tour guide.

"Oh, it's not too far. It's more than 400 kilometers away from Amsterdam to Cologne. Now, let's go to Chinese food first, and leave immediately after using Chinese food. You can arrive in Cologne before 6 pm."

Tour guide Luo Luo carefully answered Mr. Liu’s question.

"Oh, Amsterdam is so close to Cologne!"

Mr. Liu nodded and stopped asking questions.

After a while, the minibus sent the Golden Autumn Tuan to a Chinese restaurant in the southern district of Amsterdam.

After getting off the bus, the members of the Jinqiu Group saw that the food at this restaurant was still similar to the food at the previous Chinese restaurants, so everyone lost their appetite.

After the members of the group took a few random mouthfuls of food, they returned to the minibus without any energy.

So, the minibus immediately came out to the famous German city of Cologne.

"Dear friends, on the way to Cologne, I will briefly introduce Cologne to you."

After the minibus started, the tour guide Luo Luo held the microphone and said to Jin Qiutuan:

"Cologne is Germany's fourth largest city and the oldest city in Germany!

Cologne was founded in the Roman Empire. It has a wealth of economy, beautiful scenery and many scenic spots and historical sites.

Poets from all generations of Europe have written countless beautiful poems for it.

In 1848, Marx and Engels were founded in Cologne.

In Europe, there is a saying that is called "not going to Cologne, it means not going to Germany"!"

"Ho ho, is Cologne so important in Germany? Is it like Shanghai in China? If foreigners travel to China, we can also say that if they don't go to Shanghai, it means they don't go to China?"

It was still the Shandong man, Mr. Liu. After listening to the tour guide's introduction to Cologne, he sat in his seat and said something.

"Yes, your example is completely correct!"

Tour guide Xiao Luo nodded with a smile and continued to introduce:

“The city of Cologne spans the banks of the Rhine, just like Shanghai in China, the entire city spans the banks of the Huangpu River.

The city of Cologne has a small population, with a total of 998,000 and an area of ​​405 square kilometers.

It is a city famous for its Romanesque churches and Gothic cathedrals.

Especially the Cologne Cathedral standing on the banks of the Rhine River, the total height is 157.8 meters.

It has two Gothic spires:

The north tower is 157.38 meters high and the south tower is 157.31 meters high. It is currently the tallest twin-tower church in the world.

The name of Cologne Cathedral is "St. Peter's Basilica". It was built in 1248 and completed in 188o. It took 632 years and was nicknamed by the Cologneans "a church that can never be completed"!

At the same time, "St. Peter's Basilica" has an other name, called "The Unblasted Church"!

This means that during World War II, when the US and British forces launched a large-scale counterattack on the Germans in 1945, Cologne was almost razed to the ground. However, the strangest thing is that the buildings around the Cologne Cathedral were blown up, but the only thing that Cologne Cathedral survived was destroyed, and only a small sharp corner was blown up.

This small sharp corner was quickly repaired after the end of World War II.

St. Peter's Basilica consists of five halls, and a corridor built around the altar with three side halls.

The altar remains the same as it was originally built and is the largest altar among medieval German churches.

The cross on the altar is also the oldest and most famous treasure among large European sculptures.

At present, St. Peter's Basilica has become a symbol of Cologne and is also a scenic spot that tourists from all over the world yearn for.

The core of Cologne, the inner city of Cologne, is located on the west bank of the Rhine River.

The scenic spots and bustling commercial areas of Cologne are basically concentrated in the inner city.

And Cologne Cathedral is in the center of the inner city.

The cathedral is full of traffic, and cars and buses flow continuously.

More than a decade ago, the Cologne people built a church platform to isolate the building from the noisy ‘interaction’. This formed the church square and became a gathering center for locals and tourists.”

"Hey, Ronaldo, I'm not interested in the cathedral. Can you introduce something else?"

Hearing this, Mr. Liu said "in" again.

"Oh, I've finished introducing the cathedral."

The tour guide Xiao Luo was not dissatisfied with Mr. Liu's behavior interrupting her introduction. She smiled at Mr. Liu and continued:
To be continued...
