Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he
36 up his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his
37 expensive “school” fees. He always owes his success to it.
At that time, Glen, who already got a PH Degree, decided to return to the motherland, starting a company. Before
38 , he bought a Rolex watch with the
39 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be
40 down for inspection. Glen knew that carrying the
41 goods out had to pay the tax. And he worried about paying
42 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a worthless
43 . When he was
44 of his “smarts”, immediately ,
45 the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, which
46 nearly 100,000 yuan into pieces at hearing Glen’s words. Glen was amazed.
47 he understood why, he was taken to the office to be
48 strictly. For many times of entry-exit
49 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked out every thing carefully in the box, and warned him
50 time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if
51___ reusing and carrying fake and shoddy(劣质的) goods, he would be charged according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after
52 the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees,
too. He said that this made a deep
53 on him, because an additional high “school” fee that
he had ever paid made him realize the value of
54 , which he would
55 as a secret of
his success forever.
