Chapter 545 This is not my home
Khedira said disdainfully: "Boss, isn't it just investigating someone? Give me a computer and I'll get it done for you in a moment!"
Xiao Peng shook his head. "We don't need you. We have plenty of talented people in our country. Believe it or not, these are probably those ignorant Turkish students. They've been spoiled by our universities. Do they really think anyone can tolerate their bad habits?"
"Boss, what does this mean?" Walter asked.
Xiao Peng explained, "In our country, domestic university students and international students enjoy different treatment. Our university policies for international students are fantastic. The admission threshold is low, there are scholarships, better dormitories, and better food. It's safe to say that international students who go to university in our country are truly blessed! They can even consider it as earning money."
"How is this possible?" Kasim asked with his eyes wide open.
"How is this impossible?" Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "That's actually the case."
Walter frowned and said, “Why does your country do this?”
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In fact, I can understand why our country does this, and this policy has more benefits than disadvantages, but I just feel uncomfortable!"
"What's going on?" Khedira said, "Boss, I turned off the sound in your livestream and only filmed the killer whales hunting. Don't worry, they can't hear us. Tell us something!"
Xiao Peng was furious after hearing this: "Why did you do this? Isn't it because you guys forced me to do this?"
Walter and the others looked very upset: "What does this have to do with us?"
Xiao Peng said angrily, "Isn't it because the media in your countries have been sparing no effort to blacken us for so many years? Even you guys were hesitant when you came to work for me! Bruch left partly because of ambition. Are you sure it has nothing to do with him 'working for a Chinese'? You are also well-traveled people, but if even you are like this, what about ordinary people! And under this kind of public opinion, your children and your children's children will continue to be like this! How can we, China, reverse our international image? We must let more people understand us! And how do we let them understand us? Of course, they must actually live in China for a period of time and understand China, so that they will change their views of China! Therefore, attracting international students is a very important thing. Using various good welfare policies to attract international students is what our domestic universities are currently doing."
Walter thought about it and said, "But I don't think this method is a good idea either. Boss, with all due respect, I think the only international students this method can attract are from poor and underdeveloped places, like Eastern Europe, Africa, or Latin America. As for international students from developed countries, it should be difficult to attract them. After all, their welfare is there, and going to university is a very easy thing. Why bother going all the way to China?"
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers. "You're absolutely right. It's true that the vast majority of international students nowadays come from the places you mentioned. But I actually think this is a good thing."
"What's so good about this?" Walter asked puzzled.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Development is difficult for developed countries, but it's easy for impoverished areas to develop. Just like you and I went to Ukraine, you saw how many Chinese businessmen there were! Many of our businessmen are heading to places like Africa, South America, and Eastern Europe because poverty offers greater room for development. Our country isn't a country of immigrants. You can't go to university here and find a job and stay here. 99% of international students eventually return home. They attend Chinese universities, learn Chinese culture, and most choose to cooperate with China for future development. Why do we Chinese have such good relations in Africa now? Just look at how many African presidents are Chinese students! And there are countless high-ranking officials! After witnessing China's development, how could they not want their own countries to become like this? People tend to go to high places, just as water flows to low places. Do you think it's possible to get used to the good and then get used to the bad? Just like you, now that you're used to working for me, would you get used to working for someone else? If it weren't for anything else, it's just your constant flattery. If you were a different boss, you'd be sent home long ago!"
Walter and the other two laughed awkwardly, and Walter quickly changed the subject and said, "Boss, so this is a good thing for your country?"
"From a national perspective, it's truly a good thing. I can't deny that," Xiao Peng said with a wry smile. "But from a personal perspective, I really can't accept it. Just like you guys can't understand why I'd do a live broadcast and even collaborate with European TV stations and live streaming websites when I have nothing better to do, I'm just using my own way to increase China's visibility and influence."
Walter gave a thumbs up: "Boss, I should praise you for being really patriotic!"
Xiao Peng shook his head. "No, no, no. To be honest, when I first went abroad, I also thought about staying in France. It's only natural! Before I came here, I knew France was: high welfare, a good environment, and people living a wealthy life. Compared to us in China, it's a paradise. But after I came here, I found that other than the good environment, everything else is just average, even worse than we are in China. And in your social environment here, no matter how successful I am, I won't be able to fit in. You just saw what happened on Billy's boat. She was rude because I was Chinese, and she was afraid that I would retaliate against her because I was a billionaire... Note: She was afraid of me because I was a billionaire, that's all. So why should I stay in a place that will never accept me? We have a saying that goes, 'The more you go abroad, the more patriotic you become.' This is really not because the living environment abroad is not as good as at home, but because of the unfair treatment we Chinese face abroad."
Walter and Khedira didn't say anything, but Kasin said: "Boss, I totally agree with what you said. We Russians suffer more unfair treatment outside! Look at the villains in Hollywood movies who want to destroy the world. Almost all of them are Russians, but..." When he said this, he suddenly laughed.
Xiao Peng was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"
Kasin laughed and said, "I think in a few years those world-destroying villains in Hollywood movies will become Chinese!"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with gloom, but he waved his hand. "That's unlikely! The Chinese market is so huge, and the box office is so high, Hollywood investors wouldn't want to part with that kind of money! Okay, Walter, you stay here and watch. Once the killer whale hunt is over, we'll move thirty nautical miles in the opposite direction of the killer whales. Khedira, help me send a notice saying I'm going to hold a world-shaking live broadcast tomorrow! Kasin, get some rest today, and I'll give you a chance to show up tomorrow!"
