The parties in France are similar to the parties in the Empire. It is not so much the same as the parties in the upper echelons of the Empire today.

In the old days, what did our parties do? The more elegant ones are drinking and chanting poems, and the more vulgar ones are fighting crickets or gambling. The more crowded business parties are gang members gathering together for a meeting. Doctors have medical help, and medicine has medicine. There are escorts for walking in the arena.

Most importantly, women do not join the gang.

Therefore, in the past, business people would not bring their own wives at gatherings. If they had to bring them, they would only bring women from the wind. A true boudoir girl would not be proud of entering such an occasion.

The parties are different nowadays. The parties that only women of a certain identity can participate in from the West have also risen in China; the parties held privately by the ordinary people in the West, especially the bars deliberately designed to cater to customers, also Blooming everywhere in the country.

This is Gao Leng's first time attending a foreign party.

The entire team from Starlight Group was in the room with jet lag. Gao Leng couldn't help but went to the street and strolled around. A short street, he stepped on a pile of **** and saw two piles of shit. I wonder, did the sanitation workers go on strike?

Fortunately, Jason's explanation is that this meeting has just entered winter, and it is no surprise that it is estimated to have caught up with the last wave of strikes.

Paris is a very strange city. Even if you step on shit, you still feel that this city is too romantic. I looked around in the cold for a week. Actually, there are not many French girls with blond hair. They are more chestnut-colored. It may be because everyone wears more high-grade clothes and looks high-taste, or it may be because there is a sense of leisure in the bones. The taste of this makes people feel that people in this city seem to be living for themselves, and they can slow down and enjoy love.

It may also be because there are many bookstores on this street. After only 20 minutes of walking in Gao Leng, I saw five bookstores, large and small, and there were many people sitting in the cafes while drinking coffee and reading. Perhaps this is the atmosphere, the cultural atmosphere.

There is also an old book stand in the country, usually some pirated books, such as "The Story of the Country Village Chief and Fifty Women", "XX War Cheats" and so on. But the books on this old book stand seemed to be different. Although Gao Leng couldn't understand French, he picked out a few English books and looked at them, and he discovered that they were actually philosophy books.

I have to sigh that the French love philosophy far more than the Chinese, and there are all kinds of philosophy. In fact, the Empire also has this kind of philosophy books, and there are also philosophy books of any type, but not many.

Unlike here, there are many young people around the old book stand picking books, and some middle-aged people who are well-dressed but are addicted to it.

The other big category is math books, which are read by many people.

This is not difficult to explain, after all, French people are well known in mathematics.

Open the calculus textbook, check the definition, concentration, and nationality of the mathematician who designed the formula. You will find that most of them are German and French...

And in France, there has always been a tradition of mathematicians in politics. It can be said that if you want to go well in politics, then your mathematics must be good. How can you not learn mathematics? That almost amounts to the absence of air; how can mathematics be useless? This kind of thinking is even more incredible in the eyes of the French.

Take movies as an example. Many Hollywood blockbusters use mathematical principles to be completely produced and shock the world. A typical example, such as the movie "Gravity", everything in the movie has to be reproduced by calculation. Equations, equations, and faces like actors are all simulated by mathematical algorithms.

It is mathematics that makes this movie possible.

Not to mention "Avatar" and the like.

This is also the reason why American Hollywood blockbusters have always been ahead of us. We have too few masters on mathematics and philosophy.

"In the future, the Department of Mathematics will get a lot of recruits for the Starlight Group." Last year, Gao Leng added this to the requirements for recruiting talents from the Starlight Group. The children from the Department of Mathematics are smart. This is feedback from the Human Resources Department. data.

"Mom, I want to buy this." A little French boy reached out and took a math book from the old newsstand.

"Ok."

Although Gao Leng could not understand French, he saw it, and the mother took two philosophy books and put them in the cloth bag together.

There was a joke on the wine table, saying that the imperial people are good at math. Don’t say how much 1+1 is equal to. A kindergarten kid can know a lot about mathematics. If you ask a French kid how much 1+1 equals, he is likely to shake Shook his head.

However, the next sentence will make people embarrassed: "Although I don't know what 1+1 is equal to, I know that integers and addition form a commutative group."

So, don’t brag about your good mathematics in front of the French, let alone talk about philosophy in front of the French. In these two aspects, the Germans can play against them. The empires really have to continue to learn. Of course, the top scholars do not. In terms of ordinary people, we are far inferior to others in these two areas.

"So many bookstores..." Gao Leng looked around for a week and felt the pressure. As a boss with publishing business under the Empire, he felt a sense of responsibility.

He took out his mobile phone and checked it. Since so many bookstores can exist, it means they can continue to operate, then it means that their people will buy these books. Gao Leng knew this for a long time. The number of empires who read paper books was less than one-tenth of the French.

He checked the publishing house and was taken aback.

France, which is about the size of Sichuan, has more than 6,000 publishers!

Existence means reason. The existence of so many publishing houses means that so many books can be consumed. Such a small country can accommodate 6,000 publishing houses. However, even the largest paper-media newspapers and periodicals can only cancel paper printing in such a huge empire. , Including Starlight Group!

I don't know, I am surprised.

Gao Leng suddenly felt that his domestic layout had to be adjusted. What does this show? This shows that the paper books will not disappear, but will flourish in the empire in the next ten years.

You have to buy a publishing house here. In addition to buying paper media, you have to buy a publishing house. At the moment, Gao Leng made this decision.

He also checked the information. Among the more than 6,000 publishing houses in France, the largest number is 331, of which 51 book publications account for 83% of the country.

"It seems that buying independent bookseller publishers should not be expensive." This data allowed Gao Leng to judge the approximate price.

One or two billion yuan can buy several smaller publishing houses, which is a trivial matter.

He took out his cell phone and called Yang Guanguan.

"Hey, Yang Guanguan, you will go to work tomorrow to write a survey report from a French publishing house. Um, you will investigate and investigate, and you will also communicate with President Jian. I am here in France except for the 2 billion reserved purchase The media, take another two to three billion...oh no, three to four billion, yes, a little more."

The money is in charge of Xiaodan, and he doesn't know how much money goes in and out every month, so he doesn't know how much money he has, so he has to discuss with Xiaodan.

But only three or four billion more, so a little bit, should be able to come out, Gao Leng thought.

"Yeah, just a little bit more. I want to buy some publishing houses."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Leng couldn't help but laughed. No wonder those aunts came to Paris to buy bags, perfumes, and various luxury goods.

Gao Leng couldn't help but buy and buy...

Without careful consideration, there is this desire to buy.

"It doesn't matter, it's only a few money, buy a few." Gao Leng put the phone in his pocket, smiled and walked to the address provided by Jason, and walked through an underground bar after three streets.

Walking on the streets of Paris, the differences between the two cultures have different pros and cons. In the empire, if the employees of moving trains go on strike at all times, I am afraid it is not a good thing. We can use the power of the country to do big things. It is clear that burning money is a big thing that benefits the country and the people with a big hand; but here is tedious Many, many hinder development to a certain extent, and this is one of the reasons why France's development has slowed down in recent years.

It is said that the empire has risen. According to Gao Leng, the empire is not a rise, but a revival.

How to find business opportunities in the different cultures of these two countries, especially the cultural business opportunities that Gao Leng is interested in, is what Gao Leng has to do during his trip to France. And the party that Jason helped him to make Gao Leng understand the country in a short time, after all, many people he invited were from the media. Media personnel are often the type of people who receive the most information, especially those who can appear in Jason’s invitation letter.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the bar, Gao Leng showed the invitation letter and walked in smoothly.

The bar is not big, it can be said that compared to the few bars in the empire he has been to, this can only be regarded as a small bar, divided into two floors, about more than 500 square meters.

The difference is that as soon as I entered, I found that there were large and small beds inside. Some people were drinking and talking while lying on the bed.

Jason walked over and raised his glass: "Welcome, welcome, this is an oriental party for you."

...

Gao Leng was in a trance...

This bed...what does it have to do with the East? !

"Silk, silk." Jason saw the strangeness of Gao Leng, and quickly reached out and touched the bed. Oh, it turns out that the sheets are silk...

"There is also Japan. When it comes to Japan, you can't leave the bed... Linen falls..." Jason's step arched forward: "Come and come, go inside, these are all friends, friends of friends, friends Friends of your friends, there will be more people in a while."

It seems that this party is almost the same in all countries, and the theme is just a cover, it is important for everyone to be happy. Any invitation letter is only divided into classes, you invite me, I invite you, friends of friends invite friends of friends, as long as your identity is sufficient, you can come in.

Gao Leng hurriedly followed to the second floor. There were a few bodyguards guarding the stairs on the second floor. It seemed that not everyone could get up to the second floor.

On the second floor, there were three beds on top, one of which was lying on a blonde girl. When she saw Gao Leng coming, she stood up excitedly and raised her glass to greet him.

The girl was dressed very oriental: a pair of tight black pants and a bellyband.

Well, I wore a bellyband on her upper body, which was very oriental red bellyband.
