Happy Tycoon
Chapter 41: Eurostar
"What? Do you want to go around the European continent?" When the fat man heard Yang Jing's words at the dinner table, he was surprised that he didn't even eat any food.
"Yeah, it's been two years since I came to the UK, and I haven't turned around on the European continent." Yang Jing nodded and said, "I didn't have money to play before, but now I have money. If we don't play for a while, I'm so sorry to be yourself, what do you think, fat man."
The fat man nodded and said, "That's right, you can't brag with your old classmates if you don't go back? Go, go, I support you! When all the things on my side are finished, I will call you and I will find You go."
Fatty’s major is one of Royal Holloway’s ace majors, media, so his graduation thesis is much more complicated than Yang Jing’s thesis for management majors. He is now working on a project with his supervisor and finished this For the project, his final thesis defense is a formality. So the fat guy is still busy during this time.
"Well, that's good, then during the time I'm out, you can take care of your own belly."
"Damn, this is what I'm afraid of. I have only eaten your cooking for the past two years, and I have basically no sense of the food outside. Oh my god, what can I do if you leave?" Fatty Said with a mournful face.
"Just to lose weight!" Yang Jing said with a smile.
The fat man bitterly added a chicken leg and stuffed it directly into his mouth. After a few chirps in his big mouth, he quickly spit out a complete chicken leg bone, and the meat on a chicken leg was just like that.
Wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin with satisfaction, the fat man asked, "Then do you know what it takes to travel to the European continent?"
Yang Jing said, "I just wanted to ask you this."
The fat man picked up another chopsticks hazel mushroom and put it in his mouth. He said as he ate, "The UK has not signed the Schengen Agreement, so regardless of the fact that the UK is a big European country, you still need a visa if you want to travel to other countries on the European continent. Yes. But you don’t have to worry. You are an international student and hold a long-term residence visa in the UK, so it is relatively easy for you to apply for a Schengen visa."
The United Kingdom is really a magical country. It may be that the human brain circuits in this country are different from those in other countries. Therefore, the United Kingdom often does things that make people feel weird.
For example, the United Kingdom has withdrawn from the European Union. For example, the United Kingdom has always insisted on not signing the Schengen agreement.
These are all things that people don’t know why. Of course, this may also have a lot to do with the arrogance in the bones of the British. After all, it used to be the world's most powerful sunless empire, but now it is ranked low. Of course, the British are not willing to accept this reality, but It happens that they still want to be European bosses, so they usually do such unthinkable things to show that they are different.
The fat man swallowed the hazel mushrooms in his mouth and said, "First of all, you must have enough money in your bank card. You need a certificate of deposit to go to Europe to sign the Schengen agreement. I remember it seems to be 60 pounds a day. For example, if you go to Germany for ten days, you need at least 600 pounds in deposit on your bank card. The same is true for other countries in the Schengen area. Of course, your current deposit certificate is absolutely fine, like you Those who have a deposit of 200,000 pounds, the countries in the Schengen area will welcome you very much. You can easily sign it if you apply for half a year or even multiple entries in a year."
After a pause, the fat man said helplessly: "This is the **** capitalist country, everything is money first!"
Yang Jing smiled and said nothing.
The fat man continued: "If you have a deposit, you don’t have to worry about anything. Take a copy of your passport and photo and apply directly online. It takes about a week for others to apply for a Schengen visa. You are so rich. It is estimated that it will be down in about three days."
"Damn capitalist country!" The fat man added angrily.
"Well, such a delicious chicken stew with mushrooms can't stop your mouth, eat it quickly, if you don't eat it, I will eat it all!"
"No price, I can be anxious if you have eaten it all!" The fat man is like an old hen who protects the chicken, spreading her hands and directly taking the pot of chicken stew with mushrooms, so he dominates this dish and won't let you. The spirit of eating.
Yang Jing didn't think he was disgusted, picked up his bowl, walked to the pressure cooker, scooped two spoons of chicken soup from the pressure cooker, and then slowly returned to his seat and drank the chicken soup.
After eating and drinking, the fat man went to pick up the dishes. After Yang Jing went downstairs to copy his passport, he found two two-inch color and hatless photos from the drawer, turned on the computer and started to apply for the Schengen visa at night.
Just as the fat man said, rich people do things in the UK wisely.
Three days later, Yang Jing got a Schengen visa, of course it was a French visa. As long as he got a French visa, then the 24 European countries that have signed the Schengen agreement~lightnovelpub.net~Yang Jing can go. Yang Jing's first stop was to go to Paris, France.
The fastest and most convenient way of transportation from London to Paris is undoubtedly the Eurostar train.
On the second day of getting his visa, the fat man drove Yang Jing to St. Pancras Station, which was located between the British Library and Kings Cross Station. In October 2006, after eight years of renovation, the station finally became the first station of the Eurostar train in London.
Yang Jing did not book tickets online in advance, but with his current wealth, he doesn't care about those discounted tickets.
Eurostar fares are still very expensive. The most expensive luxury first-class one-way fare is as high as 360 euros, which is even more expensive than the flight from London to Paris.
But if you book in advance online, you can even book an ultra-low price of 39.5 euros. Of course, they are all second-class tickets.
Yang Jing was tempted to make a trip to the European continent but it was only a few days ago. Where does he have time to book tickets in advance? If you want to book the kind of ultra-low price ticket, you need to book at least three months in advance, and the time for this kind of ticket is not very good, either early or late...
Yang Jing now has money in his pocket, so naturally there is no need to save money in this area. He spent 290 euros extravagantly to buy a first-class ticket. After hugging the fat man, he went straight to the car after passing the security check.
Eurostar is very comfortable, the service is good, and the speed is quite fast. Although not as fast as the domestic high-speed rail, it took only 2 hours and 22 minutes to reach the busiest railway station in Europe-Paris North Station.
