MTL - Rebirth 2002: Nano Life-v3 Chapter 38 Racial discrimination at Fiji airports
After staying in Tuluwa for almost three days, Chen Yizhe left Tuluwa on September 22. However, on the small island country of Tuvalu, Chen Yizhe left behind the creature he prepared for this Tuluwa early in the morning, the Homitz.
Uh, this name was copied from One Piece by Chen Yizhe, but Hormitz is actually an octopus the size of a little finger.
Don't underestimate this octopus, this is a kind of creature that Chen Yizhe has deliberately developed over the past year.
When an octopus encounters an enemy, sometimes its tentacles are firmly grasped by the opponent. At this time, it will automatically drop the tentacles, take a step back, and let the squirming of the broken tentacles confuse the enemy. , take the opportunity to quickly slip away. Whenever the tentacles are broken, the blood vessels at the wound will shrink as much as possible, so that the wound will heal quickly, so the wound will not bleed, and it will grow back the next day, and soon new tentacles will grow.
Spider-Man and Ant-Man are actually simply replacing their brain tissue with nano-worms, but Hormitz is not only the brain replaced by nano-worms, but his ability to regenerate from broken legs was further developed by Chen Yizhe into division and regeneration. .
What is split regeneration, simply put, Hormitz can not only automatically throw away the tentacles, but also choose to split the tentacles, so that the tentacles become another small octopus, and these small octopuses will obey Hormitz. control.
However, this split is not infinite, because even the brain of the split octopus is composed of nanoworms, and after careful calculation, Chen Yizhe found that to support the small octopus individuals have relatively strong intelligence and strong self-protection Ability, at least its brain needs more than 2,000 nanoworms.
And Hormitz's brain is composed of two million nanoworms, that is to say, Hormitz can split up to 999 small octopuses, they are like independent computers, but they can Form a more powerful local area network.
And Chen Yizhe's order to Hormitz was to destroy the coral under Tuvalu. Chen Yizhe's approach may be a bit despicable, but as long as the people of Tuvalu are willing to sell the country's territory, he is willing to give more sincere compensation.
Of course, now Chen Yizhe does not have enough funds to buy Tuvalu, so Hormitz can't destroy it too quickly. According to Chen Yizhe's plan, it is estimated that he will not be able to buy the island until after 2008.
This trip from Pengcheng to Tuvalu was very smooth, and nothing unpleasant happened. However, when flying back to Hong Kong from Fiji, the service at the Fiji Airport made Chen Yizhe's happy mood disappear without a trace.
As early as the end of September, Chen Yizhe had asked the company secretary to book this round-trip flight from Hong Kong to Suva, Fiji. The previous flight from Hong Kong to Fiji was very smooth. However, after returning from Tuluwa, the flight from Fiji to Hong Kong was very difficult. There are some twists and turns.
After returning from Tuluwa and waiting at the airport for two hours, Chen Yizhe checked in directly, but the check-in lady at the counter told Chen Yizhe that there was no room on the plane.
Chen Yizhe was very surprised, because after the secretary made the reservation, he also confirmed it on the official website.
Another lady at the counter confirmed that Chen Yizhe's ticket order, seat selection, etc. are all valid, but she stressed that these are not guarantees for boarding.
At this time, Chen Yizhe confirmed the fact that this flight is seriously overbooked, because there are many other passengers at the counter who are facing the same situation, and they are basically mainlanders, and Chen Yizhe listened to it. The communication between the staff mentioned that a total of 12 seats were overbooked.
In his last life, Chen Yizhe also encountered this kind of thing. Basically, all airlines will overbook to ensure the occupancy rate and maximize profits. For example, there was a relatively hot piece of news in a previous life. United Airlines’ plane was overbooked, and it wanted 4 passengers to voluntarily give up their seats to 4 United Airlines employees, saying that these 4 employees have jobs tomorrow. But no one wanted to switch, so United decided to make the choice for the passengers, and they chose an Asian doctor and his wife. And the doctor had a job in the hospital tomorrow, so he refused, and finally the doctor was forcibly pulled from his seat and then violently dragged off the plane.
Later generations, Chen Yizhe, was very angry when he saw this news. What made him angry was not the issue of overbooking of planes, but the issue of racial discrimination in the handling of this matter. Unfortunately, this time in Fiji At the airport, he encountered the same problem.
The lady at the service counter didn't make any apology to all the passengers who couldn't board normally, and didn't tell Chen Yizhe what they should do next.
The staff at the counter had been communicating with their colleagues in the local language, and checked the computer from time to time. There was no communication or explanation at all, so they left Chen Yizhe with more than a dozen people in front of the counter until Chen Yizhe became impatient and asked for a solution.
Afterwards, the lady at the counter began to ask all passengers who could not board the plane for their passports. After everyone took out their passports, Chen Yizhe discovered that all 12 overbooked passengers were indeed Chinese passports, and no passengers from any other country were refused boarding. !
Then just listen to the tone of the lady at the counter, which is not like discussion or even communication. "We have arranged the same flight for you tomorrow morning. We are willing to provide today's accommodation and meals and compensation of 500 Fijian dollars per person."
After the lady at the counter finished speaking, she then began to sign a denied boarding compensation form for the passengers who could not board the plane, and asked Chen Yizhe and the others to go to the bank at the airport to collect the money and then take the hotel bus to the hotel arranged by the airport.
If the passengers just fly back to Hong Kong, then this kind of treatment may be barely acceptable, but some passengers may have to go to Hong Kong to fly to China, so this kind of treatment seems too irresponsible.
At this time, one of the passengers who was denied boarding was seen to be a beautiful female passenger who said dissatisfiedly, "I need to catch the flight that has been booked for tomorrow morning from Hong Kong to Shanghai. If the fastest flight that can be arranged now is tomorrow morning, then tomorrow morning I can't catch the flight from Hong Kong to Shanghai no matter what!"
There are four other passengers in the same situation as the female passenger. They have been communicating with the lady at the counter~www.novelbuddy.com~ The female passenger directly said, "I don't need your 500 Fijian dollars in cash compensation, I only need you. Just get my follow-up flight and bear the corresponding expenses."
As soon as the airport staff heard the female passenger's words, they turned around and left only one sentence, "Our compensation is already the highest, and we cannot provide more help."
However, an even more speechless scene appeared at this time. I saw an Australian who came to check in at this time. Not to mention, he must have arrived at the check-in counter later than Chen Yizhe and the others. However, this Australian was directly in front of everyone. The airport arranged to sit first class. The lady at the counter also explained to the other party that he was upgraded because of overbooking. At this time, Chen Yizhe, who was standing aside to see all this, really felt deeply humiliated.
If the flight is overbooked, the standard airline must first ask all passengers if they have voluntarily accepted compensation and gave up their seats, and then decide who ends up being killed based on the check-in time or any other method that is fair to all passengers. Choose not to board, but the only rule that Fiji Airways follows is: choose individual passengers with Chinese passports.
Why does Chen Yizhe know this rule? This is because after all the passengers who can board the plane normally have completed check-in, a crew member came to confirm with Chen Yizhe and those who could not board the plane again whether any of them hold Hong Kong or other passports. The other party means that they have other passports. Those with Chinese passports can get on the plane and then kick off those with Chinese passports.
This directly and clearly reflects the discrimination against the Chinese at Fiji Airport. It is estimated that in the eyes of Fiji Airways, the Chinese seem to be greedy for cheap and easy to deal with. A mere 500 Fiji currency per person is equivalent to 1,000 yuan in RMB, plus one night of free airport side. Dilapidated hotels and food to kill!
