Chapter 574: Physical Education Teacher Teaches Mathematics
Xiao Peng didn't know how to comment on this matter. Is this the "square dance version" of "oranges in the south of the river, tangerines in the north of the river"?
Xiao Peng is not sure whether square dancing is really that magical, but it can be seen that this thing has indeed become a tourist attraction here. Many tourists are taking pictures, and some are even dancing along.
Even Fabian and Khedira were twisting their bodies to the music. Xiao Peng really didn't understand the train of thought of these foreigners.
It can be seen that "Ponytail" is very famous here. The old men and women all greeted him with a smile. He is definitely the "Friend of the Elderly" of Norderney Island.
Xiao Peng was about to leave when he suddenly saw a middle-aged woman running towards him in a hurry: "Johannes! Are you here? Hurry back! There's a fight in your father's shop!"
Only then did Xiao Peng know the name of this "ponytail".
Johannes was stunned: "Aunt Bowen, what happened? Is my father okay?"
The middle-aged woman said, "It's nothing. It was just a fight between guests."
Johannes heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and turned to Xiao Peng and said, "Sorry, buddy, I have something going on at home, so I can't continue showing you around!"
Before Xiao Peng could reply, he saw Johannes jogging towards the commercial street!
"Xiao, shall we go and take a look?" Fabian said.
Xiao Peng waved his hand. "They say we Chinese people love to watch the fun, but why do I feel like you enjoy joining in the fun even more than we do? No, no, no! Let's go eat! Aren't Sine Sala and the camera crew waiting?"
Fabian nodded and said, "Well, Xine and the others have worked really hard this time. I'm personally paying for them to go on vacation for a while before continuing with the next part of their work. So the filming will be suspended for a month. Is that okay?"
"That's okay!" Xiao Peng said, "I can use the 'Calysop' for a bit."
"Hmm?" Fabian looked at Xiao Peng with a different look after hearing this. "You want to use the Calysop? What new discoveries have you made?"
Xiao Peng did not deny it: "Indeed, we have discovered something, buddy, let's keep a low profile. We have to do it secretly this time. Look at Xiao Pa, he didn't even ask."
Fabian said helplessly, "He doesn't have to ask, but I need to understand clearly, considering the company's accounting issues."
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "It's best for the company to do some accounting this time. This wealth was not earned in a public way."
"On the warship?" Fabian asked in a low voice.
Xiao Peng shook his head: "No, but it's more troublesome than over there, but I can guarantee that you can make money."
"How much can I earn?" Fabian asked.
Xiao Peng held up a finger and said, "At least this much more will be in your wallet!"
"Ten million?" Fabian asked.
Xiao Peng said: "Eight zeros at the end!"
After hearing what Xiao Peng said, Fabian lost interest: "Oh, okay, I'll take care of it!"
Xiao Peng was stunned: "What? You look like you're not very satisfied?"
Fabian didn't deny it. "Yeah, you're going into finance for just one million? It's not worth taking such a big risk for such a small amount of money. I don't understand what you're thinking. But if you're doing this, there must be a reason for it."
Xiao Peng's face was filled with gloom. "Dude, is your math class taught by the physical education teacher?"
Fabian was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"What's one followed by eight zeros?" Xiao Peng asked.
"One million!" Fabian turned to Pascal and asked, "Am I right?"
Pascal nodded: "That's right!"
Xiao Peng completely covered his face with his hands. "You two share the same math teacher! What's a one followed by eight zeros? One hundred million!"
"One hundred million?" Fabian did something that left Xiao Peng dumbfounded: he started counting on his fingers, muttering to himself as he did so. After a moment, he looked surprised and said, "It really is one hundred million!"
Xiao Peng said, "This time, both of you will earn at least this amount, but... this matter is indeed difficult to handle. Fabian, you must get this done."
Fabian's eyes lit up. "Don't worry, Xiao. Even though I'm not good at math, our accounting firm is the best and has the most experience in this kind of thing. You can ask Xiao Pa."
Pascal nodded. "I paid 7,000 euros in taxes last year."
Fabian said, "Actually, I'm almost the same."
"Pfft!" Xiao Peng snorted. "Is it glorious for a billionaire to pay 7,000 euros in taxes?"
"Everyone does it," Pascal said.
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines. He himself was also "reasonably avoiding taxes" in France, but even so, the taxes he paid exceeded seven figures. Compared with his two partners, he was really a "tax activist."
Foreigners are highly educated? Once again, "Hehe"...
Fabian also felt that what he had done was not very glorious, so he changed the subject and said, "Xiao, you Chinese are really good at math!"
Xiao Peng said, "That depends on who you compare yourself to. Compared to you, even Chinese elementary school students are better than you!"
When you come to the West, you will find that the physics and mathematics learned in ordinary majors in undergraduate universities are very basic, almost equivalent to the level of junior high school students in China.
How bad are the math skills of ordinary people here? Xiao Peng went to buy a bottle of wine for 60 euros, handed the salesperson 110 euros and asked for 50 euros in change. He would first take out four ten-yuan bills from the cash register and count them, then add Xiao Peng's ten-yuan bill to confirm the total was 50 euros before giving him a change - it's not that they are serious about their work, it's that they don't understand math!
They call this interest-based education, which means learning what you want to learn, what you are interested in, and what you are good at. This can reduce the cost of education and make it more targeted. Therefore, there are many mathematicians and physicists in the West; while in China, they just force you to learn regardless of whether you like it or not. Therefore, Chinese people are generally good at mathematics. At least when they go to Europe and the United States, the mathematics level of ordinary Chinese people can shock them.
Students are often envious of the Western system. Look how good it is! It reduces academic pressure and fosters talent. Only when you grow up do you realize: the knowledge you acquire is yours!
Every time Xiao Peng sees someone enjoying the convenience of Huaxia Education while complaining about the shortcomings of Huaxia Education, he can only say: You're right! You're right! And then he silently gives them a middle finger in his heart.
A few people were walking forward while talking and chatting, when they heard an English quarrel coming from the direction of a restaurant nearby.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said directly: "The ones quarreling are Indians!"
Fabian's eyes widened after hearing this. "You're good at math, that's all, but you can tell where someone is from without even seeing them? Are you crazy?"
Xiao Peng looked helpless. One was Japanese and the other was Indian. Anyone who was not deaf could tell their nationality when they spoke English.
