Chapter 234 Exchange Students
With the help of Stanford alumni and for the future layout of Chanel, Bella fully acquired an Italian women's shoe brand named Giuseppe Zanotti.
This brand specializing in women's shoes was founded in 2000 and is known for its sexy and wild shoes.
Currently there are two stores, one in Milan and one in Florence.
The designer wanted more women to wear Giuseppe Zanotti's shoes and wanted to expand his store and expand his influence. Bella had money to invest, and the two parties hit it off.
After paying 13 million euros, she completely owned the brand.
Later, he invested 3.5 million euros in Koenigsegg, increasing his stake in the Swedish sports car manufacturer to 12%.
After leaving some money for daily expenses, she returned to ordinary student life.
...
The spring semester of Stanford's second academic year had just begun, and Bella got some unexpected news from the student union.
The school intends to launch an exchange student program with the University of Tokyo in Japan.
The University of Tokyo also has four faculties of science, law, literature and medicine. Stanford plans to send a group of undergraduates and graduate students to study there. The expenses during the study period will be borne by the other party. Yes, the tuition fees of both parties will be borne by the other party.
Bella is a little moved. A lot of knowledge from the East is also very useful for her spells. Now that she has been unable to develop a fourth-level spell, she feels that her accumulation is not enough. She should master more knowledge. The University of Tokyo is a good place.
choose.
"Are you going?" she asked her friends.
"I don't speak Japanese." This was Heather's answer.
"I'm not going." It was Barbara who said simply.
Sam also said that his studies are very heavy. In order to get into law school, he is almost worried about his head. He has no time to go to Japan. In his opinion, what can he learn in Japan? Going to Japan is just for fun.
Bella's Japanese is very good. She has no problem listening, speaking, reading and writing. She doesn't need to review and can get high scores by taking the N1 exam directly.
Distance is no longer a problem. It is closer from Stanford to Tokyo than from Stanford to Europe.
She signed up without saying a word. There was no harm in going out for a walk, since she didn't have to pay out of her own pocket.
The teacher in charge of exchange students at the University of Tokyo was extremely welcoming to her application. The name of a best-selling author is very useful, especially after knowing through conversation that she is very proficient in Japanese, let alone her diligence.
Japan requires a lot of things from Asian international students, such as Japanese language test scores, employment certificates of financial guarantors, and tax certificates of eight generations of ancestors. They ask you to hand it over, and then review it carefully, for fear that you will take advantage of his loopholes.
There are also requirements for international students in European and American circles, but in practice, they are pretended not to exist.
There are very few people in the United States who can speak Japanese, let alone students. Even if many Americans go to Japan to work, they still speak English every day. They think English is the world's language. If they can't speak it, they still think it's strange. It's the 21st century.
Why can't you even speak English?
Pride is one thing, and difficulty in learning is another.
Americans learn Japanese just like Japanese learn English. Both sides find it super difficult to learn.
In the end, there is no other way. It makes sense to have a big fist. The only way is for the Japanese to learn English hard and learn it miserably...
At this time, the middle-aged female teacher in charge of exchange students welcomed Bella. There were no various review procedures. She passed directly. If she didn't have the right, she would have given her a scholarship on the spot.
Stanford students are not enthusiastic about the University of Tokyo. After all, the ranking of the university is so far behind. There is no need to go from high places to low places to study, even if you pay money to go there.
The language environment is different, the living habits are also different, and there are obstacles in all aspects.
The plan was to recruit 100 exchange students, but in the end, despite many setbacks, we were unable to recruit 70 students.
Instead of going with the rest of the group, Bella took the plane alone and went to Hawaii for two days, then to Japan, where she would study for two semesters at Stanford and one semester in Japan, which is half a year.
.
After getting on the plane to Tokyo, Bella quickly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
...
Japan, Shikoku Island, Kochi Prefecture.
On an unknown seaside, there is an ancient castle left over from the Warring States Period.
The fifth-floor castle tower faces the sea in the distance. When you open the door, you can seem to hear the sound of waves crashing on the rocks.
The place is heavily guarded, and a large number of red-clad ninjas are patrolling openly or covertly. They do not allow an idle person to disturb Wuzhi's meeting.
The Five Fingers are five old men who escaped from the holy land of Kunlun four hundred years ago and came to Japan. They gathered the Snakeroot clan and a large number of ninjas, thieves and assassins who had lost their source of livelihood during the Warring States Period to establish an organization called the Hand.
.
The five of them all have advanced martial arts from Kunlun to extend their lives, but four hundred years is still too long. Four of them can't stand their aging bodies, so they use secret techniques to abandon their original bodies and seize new ones.
Body.
Just looking at appearance, among the five fingers of the Hand today there are white people, black people, and Asian people.
The four of them are all young, but the one sitting on the side is very old, as old as a piece of wood.
"Gao, you are so stubborn, why don't you want a younger body? Look at me? How strong I am?" The black man showed off his biceps.
The gray-haired old woman glanced at him, her triangular eyes filled with contempt. This idiot had taken over the body of a black man and was now about to be blackened.
She spoke slowly: "I just don't want our four hundred years of hard work to be in vain."
A blond white woman smiled and said: "Gao, are you still thinking about Yinglong? We lured her out of Kunlun, and that guy already hates us. If I remember correctly, it was you who broke her arm.
, do you think she will still give you the power of immortality?"
"Open your muddy old eyes and take a look. Science is the trend of the future. Immortality? Qi? They are all outdated things, hehehe!"
Mrs. Gao still drank tea calmly: "I have a way to make her give me her immortal power."
The black man smiled contemptuously: "It's been four hundred years since Sakura Dragon sealed that secret realm? It's really powerful to be independent of time. It may still be the Warring States Period there. You tried so hard to find the gaps in the space, and I heard that you even threw them away one after another.
Entering two groups of people to die? What's the use of that? You are really an old fool!"
The remaining people thought that Mrs. Gao's idea was too wishful thinking, but she only mobilized her direct subordinates, and they had no right to interfere.
