Chapter 767 The Flea Market

Maybe it was because the snail dinner last night was so delicious, Wu Ke still couldn't forget last night's dinner when he had breakfast the next day.

To be honest, Chu Chen also felt that the dishes there were indeed delicious, but it didn’t look like he was ordering Western food like Wu Ke did yesterday. Fortunately, the place he reserved was relatively private, otherwise other guests would see him. Sure to be surprised and amused.

But even so, after hearing that Wu Ke ordered so many dishes, the waiter looked at them very strangely. He first asked them if there were other customers, and after hearing that there were only the two of them, he continued A reminder, if you order too much, the two of them will definitely not be able to eat...

Of course, then again, it would be impossible for Wu Ke to order so many dishes in one sitting in public.

Wu Ke recollected yesterday's big meal, then took a bite of the sandwich in her hand, and said with a grin: "Ah Chen, I didn't expect you to be so good at eating. You actually finished eating so many dishes yesterday."

Chu Chen was speechless and said: "Didn't you see that the waiter looked at us like idiots? If I don't finish eating, that person will definitely think that we have something wrong with our brains!"

Wu Kewen smiled and slapped Chu Chen on the arm a few times: "But if you do this, others will see us as worthless! At that time, I almost lost face!"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "The idiot is better than the fool! Besides, in the final analysis, it's because you ordered too much."
Wu Ke smiled a little embarrassedly: "I just think those dishes seem to be delicious, and we will definitely come to France rarely in the future, so I can't help but order more..."

Speaking of this, she remembered another thing: "Oh~ I almost forgot, after I ordered food yesterday, I thought it was too much, and I wanted to return some, it seems that you kept saying in the end, it's okay, you can solve it?"

"I don't want you to taste more!"

Chu Chen immediately changed the subject and said, "The transportation is so developed now, and the visa is also very convenient, so you can come whenever you want in the future!"

Wu Ke nodded: "That's true, but it's really troublesome to fly! Buying a plane ticket, security check, waiting for the plane and so on, it's too time-consuming!"

Hearing what Wu Ke said, Chu Chen had a whim, and said, "Why don't we buy a private jet and come whenever we want!"

"Buy a private jet?"

When Wu Ke first heard this, she really couldn't imagine it. For her, airplanes are very expensive. Even ordinary rich people can't afford them, let alone ordinary people. However, she Immediately realized that Chu Chen was not an ordinary person, but a billionaire, and his money was more than enough to buy a private jet.

"The price of a private jet is not cheap, why don't you just forget about it!" Even so, when thinking of the price of a private jet, Wu Ke still feels very reluctant.

Chu Chen laughed and said: "It's okay, don't forget, Uncle Xu called me last Sunday, and he has already dug up the emerald mine, and it is very likely to be a giant mine vein. If you are lucky, I will have all the dividends Billions, buying a private jet is a trivial matter!"

Wu Ke knew about the emerald mine for a long time, but she didn't have any idea about it at the beginning, thinking that it would be enough to earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions of funds at most. She never thought that she could earn billions.

At that time, when she heard what Chu Chen told her, she thought she was dreaming. If Chu Chen hadn't repeatedly assured the truth of the matter, she might not have believed it until now.

Now hearing what Chu Chen said, Wu Ke also knew that buying a private jet was really not a big problem for Chu Chen's financial situation. For a while, she also began to feel excited.

But after thinking about it, she finally shook her head: "Achen, our time is not so tight. Buying a private jet is too wasteful now. I don't think it's necessary. And I think it's better to buy a private jet than buy a private jet." Using all this money for charity will benefit our country and society a lot.”

Hearing what Wu Ke said, Chu Chen laughed immediately, nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I will do as you said!"

Wu can see that he agreed so happily and is also very happy, but considering that Chu Chen is also doing charity now, his attitude is also very normal.

Thinking of the public welfare that Chu Chen was doing, Wu Ke asked, "Ah Chen, what happened to the scholarship you mentioned earlier?"

Chu Chen replied: "I'm not familiar with this aspect, and I'm trying to figure it out. As for the free lunch, the old principal has already sorted out a plan for implementation and supervision. I plan to wait until the next semester to promote it to surrounding schools. .”

"Then you will be busy in the future." Wu Ke said with a smile.

"At that time, I will leave this matter to you to handle!" Chu Chen chuckled.

"Slob!"

Wu Kewen gave him a blank look, and said, "I'm just about to graduate now, and I don't even have work experience, so you can rest assured and leave the matter to me?"

Chu Chen laughed and said, "No matter who has work experience, they start from scratch. I believe you can do it! Besides, I plan to establish a private public welfare fund after I return. You only need to be in charge of the fund's management. Fund management and supervision are enough. As for public welfare undertakings, I will find someone else to be responsible for the implementation.”

"This... can I do it?" Hearing that he was going to manage the fund, Wu Ke seemed even less confident.

Chu Chen encouraged her and said, "I will hire a professional manager to assist you at that time. With your smart mind, it won't be long before you can manage well!"

Speaking of this, he saw that Wu Ke still seemed a little hesitant, so he smiled and said: "Why, Ke Ke, who has always been fearless, now hesitates when encountering a little difficulty?"

Wu Kewen pouted his lips and said: "Don't provoke me, I'm just afraid that your money won't be used in key places. Since you don't care about it yourself, I have nothing to be afraid of!"

Of course, even though she said that, she still made up her mind that she must do things well and let Chu Chen invest all the money wisely.

"By the way, you said just now that you are going to find someone else to take charge of the public welfare. Do you have a suitable candidate now?"

"Yes!"

Chu Chen nodded and said: "Last time my uncle told me that he knew a reporter, and he heard that he was going to have a free lunch, and he had already conducted preliminary research. After returning to China, I plan to contact him. If possible, I will I am going to invest some funds in him to see how the results are, if I am satisfied, I am ready to hand over this part to him, and we only need to be responsible for the supervision of funds."

"Well, that's fine too..."

Next, the two exchanged ideas on this aspect for a while, but there is a good saying, the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, it is not that Chu Chen does not want to make public welfare undertakings bigger, and he also has the strength to make it bigger, But in the land of Huaxia, the actual situation is too complicated. In the end, he decided that this matter cannot be done overnight, and it is better to develop steadily.

After walking out of the restaurant of the hotel, Wu Ke asked, "Achen, where are we going to play today?"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Today is Saturday, why don't we go to the flea market?!"

There are so many places to visit in Paris, and you can’t finish it all in one day. If it’s normal, Chu Chen would definitely suggest to continue to visit, but the flea market in Paris is only open on Saturdays and Sundays, and tomorrow I’m going to meet Vincent Special deal, if I don't go today, I definitely don't have time to go this time, so I want Wu Ke to adjust the itinerary first.

Wu Ke gave him an angry look, and scolded with a smile: "Damn, don't you think I will refuse this kind of thing!"

"Ke Ke, you are so kind!" Seeing Wu Ke agreeing, Chu Chen quickly hugged her in his arms and kissed her hard.

Wu Ke blushed and said: "I hate it, I don't see how many people are watching around me..."

French people like to visit flea markets very much, and the local flea markets are divided into two categories, one is shops run by professionals, such as antique shops, second-hand bookstores, second-hand clothing stores, etc.The other is the second-hand goods market held temporarily in French towns every year, which is often called the flea market.

French collector Collier has a famous saying that the flea market is "the place of happiness for second-hand shoppers and novelty hunters".Paris flea market has a long history, as long as you spend very little money, you can buy many useful things, including furniture, jewelry, antiques, clothes, daily necessities, handicrafts and so on.

Flea markets are generally open on weekends, that is, Saturday and Sunday. There are more than 30 flea markets in Paris and its suburbs. The literal translation of the name is "flea market".

Tracing back to history, there is an interesting story. Before the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, about 3 poor people in Paris had to rely on garbage picking for a living. In 1884, the high-ranking officials of Pourbele issued an order to prohibit dumping garbage anywhere and set up garbage bins. The poor who picked up garbage were assigned to a former military training ground in Saint-Dohan to clean up the garbage and sell the useful things they picked out on the spot.

After 1891, these trash pickers gradually turned their mobile stalls into a permanent market. The word "flea market" appeared on the picture postcards at that time, which means that the market started as a wandering person, jumping around like fleas.Another theory is that the old clothes bought in the market at that time often had fleas, so it was nicknamed "flea market".

The place where Chu Chen and Wu Ke went this time was Marche aux Puces, the largest flea market in Paris.The address of the market is also very easy to find.Just take Metro Line 4, get off at the terminal Porte de Clignancourt, cross a railway and highway, and walk for a few minutes.
