Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 395 Hearts are getting closer

After dinner, it was already past ten o'clock.

Lin Yuan and Betty walked through the bustling night market.

"I used to read research reports that said India's population structure is quite young, but it's all digital. Today, seeing young people all over the streets, those cold numbers immediately became vivid," Betty sighed.

It was clear that she had gotten into work mode and started observing India as an investor.

But on a night like this, Lin Yuan obviously didn't want to work overtime, so he smiled and joked:
"Wow! What does it mean to become alive? Are the capitalists seeing a vast labor force to be exploited? Are there bloodlust burning in their eyes? The devil of capital is about to burst out of its cage and feast!"

Lin Yuan’s words were super childish and his expression was very exaggerated.

Such slightly accusatory and offensive words can only be said in a joking way so as not to make people feel uncomfortable. He has a good sense of proportion.

"Hate it! What are you talking about? You know that's not what I meant." Betty scolded.

"But who are the people who exploit developing countries?" Lin Yuan asked.

He asked this question from the perspective of the people in developing countries.

“…” Betty didn’t answer.

"They are both salesmen standing on the roadside to solicit customers. The guy just now earns 30 rupees a night, which is equivalent to 75 cents. And the guy in North America with the same dark skin and also without an education earns 100 US dollars a night. The difference is more than 130 times. Why is that?" Lin Yuan continued to ask.

This time Betty answered: "Because developed countries use their technological advantages to drain blood from developing countries."

She continued, "Take Boeing as an example. Boeing's Gigafactory, to build a 737 aircraft, the entire upstream and downstream work of the industry chain is converted into working hours, which is only 20000 hours, with a sales price of $8000 million."

"And if this plane were taken to a developing country and exchanged for hundreds of millions of shirts, how many people would it take and how long would it take?"

"For every hour of work done by a Boeing factory worker, at least a hundred hours of work is done by the men making the shirts."

"Do you despise this phenomenon?" Betty asked.

"This is human nature. It is bound to happen whether you despise it or not. If a country wants its lower-class citizens to live better than the middle class in other countries, it must pass on the costs. This is not a moral judgment, but the simplest logical inference." Lin Yuan shook his head and said.

When you envy North America’s fried chicken for $1 and North America’s hairdresser Tony making $5000 a month, you have to ask:

How does Tony make $5000 a month and still be able to buy cheap $1 fried chicken?

Costs always have to be passed on. If they cannot be passed on, good days will not come out of the blue.

Lin Yuan sighed, "The sad thing is, sometimes you have to ask for this kind of oppressed opportunity to get it."

After all, there are many countries in the world with overpopulation, and they are all competing to work as laborers for developed countries.

Betty nodded. "Yes, look at all the young and middle-aged people on the streets. How many of them can't find a job and are forced to be idle?"

"India has a young population structure, but its labor participation rate is seriously insufficient and there is a lack of sufficient jobs. These idle people are also a huge security risk to society," Lin Yuan also said.

Speaking of this, Lin Yuan really admires his motherland. When joining the WTO after 2004, it gritted its teeth and faced the industrial traps set by developed countries.

We have upgraded our industries step by step, broken through the so-called middle-income trap, and achieved real technological leap forward.

This is a legendary journey full of hardships.

Feeling the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Betty didn't want to continue the topic. She pointed to a clothing store on the side of the road and said, "The clothes in that store are so beautiful. Let's go take a look together."

Lin Yuan looked up and saw that it was a shop selling traditional Indian clothing [sarees]. The shop was filled with saris of various bright colors.

Sari is a traditional dress worn by women in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and other countries. It is a kind of clothing made of silk as the main material.

The sari is generally 5.5 meters long and 1.25 meters wide, with piping on both sides and embroidery on it.

It is usually worn over an ankle-length petticoat, from the waist to the heels, forming a tube skirt, and then the end of the hem is draped over the left or right shoulder. Betty took Lin Yuan into the store and her eyes were immediately attracted by a bright red sari embroidered with gold thread.

She ran forward, took the sari and asked, “Does this look good?”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You'll know only if you try it."

Betty immediately said, "I want to try it. Wait for me."

"it is good!"

Seeing the customer coming, the male boss smiled and walked up to talk to Lin Yuan.

The hostess kindly followed Betty into the dressing room and helped her change into the sari.

Indians really like to talk. After Lin Yuan was forced to chat with his boss for a while, Betty finally changed into a sari and appeared in front of him.

The first time Lin Yuan saw Betty, his eyes lit up.

The bright red sari with gold embroidery, paired with Betty's fair skin and long golden hair, made her look exceptionally beautiful.

Betty was not only tall but also well-proportioned. The luster of the silk, after being wrapped, pleated and fixed many times, further highlighted her devilish figure.

Elegant and dignified, yet charming, these are the most appropriate adjectives to describe Betty in a sari.

"Does it look good?"

Betty turned around in front of Lin Yuan confidently, showing off her beauty.

Was she asking about the person or the clothes?

Facing this problem:

If you are a straight man, you might answer foolishly: It looks good, the clothes are good-looking, and the person is even better-looking!

This seems both too boring and a bit lascivious.

If an experienced scumbag is involved, he might answer: Not very good-looking.

First create a downward emotional effect, and then reverse it to push the woman's emotions upward: That's because I'm jealous. Such a beautiful woman doesn't belong to me, so I can only belittle her against my will.

As an old hand in the love field, Lin Yuan would certainly not answer in the above two ways.

Adults need to learn to understand the subtext of what others say.

When a woman shows herself in front of you and asks you if she is pretty, she certainly doesn't simply want a compliment of "pretty" from you.

But I want to know her position in your heart.

As long as you can meet her psychological needs, any answer is fine.

This question came from Betty's mouth, but Lin Yuan also wanted to ask himself:
Do you choose to accept her love?
From their first meeting on a yacht in Long Island, to their second meeting on the yacht, to her kendo training, to her dancing with him while changing clothes at Adams Manor, to their experiences of life and death together.

Lin Yuan suddenly realized that the bond between the two had become so deep without them realizing it.

It is the hardest to accept the kindness of a beauty, so if there are flowers to be picked, pick them immediately.

As a reborn person, how could I give up this beautiful woman in front of me?

So Lin Yuan strode forward.
