Chapter 84 I saw the thief eating meat, but I didn't know the thief was beaten
Gu Kun went to the Netherlands this time, and even visited other European countries after the auction. Of course, he would not go alone.
He first brought along his usual confidant Gao Jianxiong and a recently hired technician.
This new digger is not a stranger, it is the person in charge of the survey ship, Du Guowei, whom I got to know well in Lanfang during the summer vacation.
If we go back a few months, it might be a little difficult for Gu Kun to poach Du Guowei.
Of course, Gu Kun could afford the salary that was several times higher than that of Jiaotong University's Design Institute, but he also knew that those technical staff valued being able to make a name for themselves professionally, not just money.
For those scientific researchers who have ideas and pursuits, if they are given a large amount of money, but in exchange for their lifelong research and exploration direction being wasted, then there is a high probability that they will not be willing to do so.
But now, the situation is completely different from a few months ago, because Gu Kun is already a serious alumnus of Jiaotong University, and it seems that he is serious about studying, and his future career will focus on ocean engineering.
With a boss like this, it's less likely to give up on your major.
In addition, Du Guowei had always had a mixed professional title in the Design Institute of Jiaotong University and was very difficult to climb up by relying on the internal evaluation system, so they hit it off and was persuaded by Gu Kun to get the job with a temporary monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, plus bonuses and other expenses.
The reason why he wanted to take him with him to Europe this time was because Gu Kun valued one of his previous resumes when he was at the Design Institute of Jiaotong University - the scientific research boat that Gu Kun rented during the summer vacation was from Jiaotong University more than a year ago.
The design institute asked Heikeland about the purchase, and Du Guowei also participated in the inspection and inspection of the purchase at that time, so he and Heikelan knew many business personnel in the shipyard and had some old friendships.
Gu Kun planned to wait for the money from the auction to be received, and then let Du Guowei be the guide to go to Heikelan to buy and buy. He would also evaluate the value and technical quality of the goods to prevent them from being overpriced.
This is an era when business information is relatively limited. For international procurement of special equipment, you need someone to guide you and get you into that circle. If you don’t know reliable people and just buy with money, you will definitely be rejected.
What's the outcome? It's probably like the white-haired old man in "Lord of War" who wanted to steal Yuri's business. He took the money and ran to Blackland, but it turned out that Blackland general "Uncle Dimic" only recognized Yuri.
, I can only get out of here in despair.
The flight of more than ten hours passed quickly, and the wake-up call music came to mind in the cabin of the Boeing 747.
Gu Kun, who had slept on the plane, rubbed his eyes, asked for a wet wipe, and then ate snacks and casually asked Du Guowei, who was sitting next to him: "By the way, I heard that your Russian is very good?"
"Of course, our generation mainly learned Russian as a foreign language, and English was learned later."
"Then it's up to you to translate the entire process this time."
I'll give him 5,000 yuan for translation fees and confidentiality fees later.
Everyone is doing things that are beneficial to the country, and the interests are the same. In these aspects, Gu Kun does not have to worry too much about the loyalty and confidentiality of Du Guowei and other newly recruited technicians. Du Guowei originally formed the discipline when he was in the physique.
Inertia also happened to be used by Gu Kun.
The plane landed at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. Gu Kun made a phone call and someone from Van Bilson sent a car to pick him up. Everything was arranged.
Schiphol Airport is originally located in the southwest suburbs of Amsterdam, nearly 10 kilometers away from the city. The Hague is also 50 kilometers southwest of Amsterdam. So it is much more convenient to go straight to The Hague after leaving the airport, only 40 kilometers away.
.
In addition, the highway conditions in the Netherlands are second only to Germany, and much better than France. There is no upper speed limit. (Even if the speed limit on German highways is generally limited to 250 kilometers, ordinary cars will drive open and stamp the floor oil.
It only goes that fast) so we arrived in 15 minutes.
Gao Jianxiong was going abroad for the first time, and Du Guowei was also coming to Western Europe for the first time. After getting off the car, the two of them sighed: "Well, capital pays attention to the fact that a country is developed. The car is driving so fast. I thought The Hague and Amsterdam are two cities after all.
No matter how long it takes to drive from Hujiang to Suzhou."
"Didn't Du Gong go abroad before?" Gu Kun joked.
Du Guowei lowered his head and thought thoughtfully: "I have only been to Blackland, and before I was studying for my Ph.D., I followed the leaders of the hospital and went to the USSR that had not yet been disbanded. It was a country that paid attention to the society."
Gu Kun smiled and said: "Then it's fun this time. Follow me and you won't let the brothers suffer. I will be popular and drink hot food, and everyone can follow me. By the way, Du Gong, Brother Xiong, I remember none of you.
What about marriage?"
Gao Jianxiong was the first to smile bitterly and sigh: "I have been a soldier for more than ten years and just changed my job this year. How can I get married?"
"That's just free. Here in the Netherlands, just like Germany, many industries are legal. If you want to experience it, I'll treat you."
As the group talked, the driver had already sent them to the hotel and completed the check-in procedures. Gu Kun asked for an executive suite himself and let his two men stay in a standard room with twin beds.
Then, they went out to experience the Dutch style.
Before Gu Kun came here, he had just experienced the gentle countryside in Kuching, so he was squeezed out. He didn't really need it now, he just took a look around.
After Gao Jianxiong and Du Guowei went out for a walk, they didn't seem to do much.
I must have been too timid, so I drank some wine and chatted with a woman, and gained some knowledge, so I came back without spending a few hundred yuan.
Gu Kun took the two of them out to have a meal together.
"How was the game? Are you comfortable?" Gu Kun asked casually at the dinner table, where everyone was eating simple and miserable Dutch-style Western food.
When it comes to food, the Dutch's level of dark cuisine is simply more exaggerated than that of the Germans, and second only to the Brittanians.
Except for the spreads such as various jams and creams, which are relatively refreshing, the rest are dark dishes.
"I met a few women and chatted for a while, but I lost interest. I felt that they were also bitter and had deep hatred. I felt that some parts of the country where capital is paying attention are indeed better for us." Gao Jianxiong said indignantly.
"How?" Gu Kun asked with great interest.
Du Guowei coughed slightly and helped explain: "We met two people who didn't look like they were in this field, and they didn't look very good. Later, we had a drink and chatted, and we learned that they were both
A junior clerk in an enterprise was laid off and received unemployment insurance benefits.
But in the Netherlands and Germany, there are conditions for you to receive unemployment benefits. You have to accept the labor and social security department to help you introduce a new job. But because of this, it is also legal to do that in the Netherlands and Germany. Therefore, after a woman loses her job, her insurance
When the department introduces you to a job, if there really is no other decent job that can be introduced to you, it can be considered a legitimate job to introduce you to that job.
You don't have to accept it, but this is a case of "the security department has introduced you to a job but you don't do it", then you can't continue to receive unemployment benefits. It seems that the workplace environment for women in Germany and the Netherlands is very harsh.
In China, men and women are equal, and women hold up half the sky."
Gu Kun couldn't help but laugh: "I paid for you to come and have fun, but it's better for you to conduct social research and be filled with righteous indignation with others, don't you have an excessive sense of justice?
This is the case in German countries. Their personal income tax is progressive up to 40% for singles, and for married people, it is progressive up to 75% of the lower-income spouse of the couple. Therefore, even in the worst case,
The couple's income is exactly the same, which is equivalent to each paying 37.5%, which is lower than the 40% paid by a single person.
To put it bluntly, Germany and the Netherlands are punishing bachelors financially. In general, the income of a couple is definitely lower for the woman, so when the husband’s salary is higher, 75% of the woman’s income is taxed. If a woman does not work, she is a single worker.
If you are a family, then this household does not have to pay income tax. The state encourages one spouse to work separately and take care of the children at home. The state's income tax is entirely supported by the single person's tax payment.
The old trick you encountered is to introduce unemployed women to jobs in that field so that she refuses to work and becomes ineligible for unemployment benefits."
"Is there...is there such a thing? When I was in the design institute, many female colleagues who liked to talk about gender equality also said that Germany and the Netherlands are very good." Du Guowei was shocked, and suddenly discovered the street stalls he had heard about in China.
I really can’t believe it, I still have to go abroad and see for myself.
