"Excuse me, do you mind if the newcomers join this game? By the way, remember to report my name. I believe Mr. Joe Lewis will not refuse."
In fact, the latter sentence is superfluous. There is no mediocre person who can join the White Club. Joe Lewis is a very smart figure. How can he miss any opportunity to make friends with powerful people? Of course, with his current position, he doesn't need to take the initiative to put down his body, but many people are attracted to him.
"Jason, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?" Yang Cheng just stepped onto the second floor when Joe Lewis stood up from the red sofa and gave him a hug.
Yang Cheng greasy hugged him crookedly, almost touching, with an enthusiastic smile on his face, "Yes, it's been almost a year since last time? You are still so leisurely."
He was right. Joe Lewis was successful. He spends most of his time for pleasure, either fishing on a yacht or holding collection exhibitions on the yacht. This guy is far more obsessed with art than ordinary people.
Joe Lewis patted his pregnant belly in July, and said with a sense of joy, "Thanks to you, the construction team under Yuanshan Capital is the most cost-effective in the world. The construction of the team’s new stadium is extremely efficient and inefficient. Expensive, the most important thing is that you paid the cost to make my funds turn around, and did not add new debt to the team. I must thank you very much."
Yang Cheng was taken aback. After taking the project for Yuanshan Capital at that time, he didn't care anymore. He didn't expect the cooperation between the two parties to be so successful.
Regarding Joe Lewis’s praise, Yang Cheng was not modest. “Of course, Farmount Capital’s service has always been the most satisfactory place for its partners. As for the advancement of a part of the funds, it is also based on your face, and the interest generated is also comparable to the company. Don’t forget to give the extra income."
He was both a joke and a secret reminder to this old Pai Yao. He has a criminal record. If the two parties had signed a strict fund exchange contract, Yang Cheng was really worried that he would regret it.
Joe Lewis pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "I am a reputable person. Don't worry, your work is done so well. If I owe even one pound, you can stand on Big Ben and face the people of Britain. scold me."
Yang Cheng smiled and turned the topic off, looking at the middle-aged man who had been politely standing aside and waiting for them to finish speaking. The white man with brown-red curly hair looked a bit like Prince Harry. He should be waitress number 8. It's Coventry VI in your mouth. Since you dare to be called the VI, it is enough to prove that this name has a glorious history. However, Yang Cheng is ignorant. He has never heard of a Coventry family in England before, but knows There is a presence in Coventry.
Upon seeing this, Joe Lewis gave up his birth position very sensibly and introduced the two of them, "Coventry, this young man is Jason Yang. The identity you know best should be the boss of Liverpool, and you can go home for the rest. Google."
Yang Cheng pouted silently. Is there anyone who introduces you like this? Let people go back to Google?
When introducing Coventry to Yang Cheng, Joe Lewis said a few more words, which also let Yang Cheng learn about the power of the name Coventry, "Jason, this is Coventry VI, the family property It’s more complicated, but if you want to have some excitement in the UK, you’re right to find him~"
After that, Joe Lewis blinked at Yang Cheng. Yang Cheng blinked for a while, and reached out and shook hands with the other party, jokingly saying, "Hello Mr. Coventry, although Joe's introduction is not reliable, but He was right, my information is available online."
Coventry was amused. A pair of big hands is very powerful, and letting go does not break the relaxed atmosphere. "Just call me Coventry. Joe's introduction is very accurate. If you want to play a gun or even fly a plane, you can't go wrong with me. , Then, I don’t welcome you to play in Coventry. It’s so boring."
Yang Cheng knew that the other party had made no mistake. The Coventry mentioned later was the city where he was located. His helplessness Yang Cheng deeply agreed. If one of the UK’s most boring cities is selected, Coventry is definitely on the list, even very It may be the well-deserved number one. Regardless of whether the city is located in the center of the United Kingdom, right between London and Liverpool, it does not look like a center at all. Instead, it looks like a forgotten orphan. The whole city except Coventry and Two universities in Warwick, there is nothing more to come up with.
The city of Coventry was bombed clean during World War II, and there was almost no decent building preserved. Almost all Coventry that can be seen now was rebuilt after the war.
However, Coventry’s self-introduction specifically mentioned that he can be found for playing guns and airplanes. Could it be that the Coventry family is engaged in the military industry?
Doubts return to doubts. The first time I met, it’s not easy to ask questions. Yang Cheng brought the topic to the gambling game between the two, "I heard the waiter say that you are doing an interesting game? I wonder if I can participate?"
Joe Lewis did not ask Coventry’s opinion, so he became the master, "Of course, welcome. In fact, the more people, the more interesting."
The three sat down, and the waiter quickly brought something to eat and drink. Yang Cheng invited the two to have a meal, but they declined, so he had no choice but to enjoy it alone. While eating, he asked, "How do you think of this theme? "
Coventry laughed, "Today there are fewer people in the club, and the chairman is not there. No one organizes thematic activities. We can only have fun by ourselves. The reason is that Joe and I are discussing the quality of British nationals. I think Most people can still maintain the style of a gentleman, but Joe firmly believes that most people will lose the disguise of a gentleman in the face of money. Neither of us can persuade the other party, so we decided to make this bet. The club will send someone to record the whole process. It is an item that can be recorded in the history of the White Club."
Yang Cheng suddenly said, "So how did the two bet?"
Coventry said again, "I guessed it was 2 hours. Of course, I admit that I played a little clever in order to win. Now, when off work, everyone is busy walking. People have a herd effect. I’m following the people in front of me. I’m afraid it’s hard for anyone to pay attention to the wallet on the ground. Oh, by the way, in order to get a better verification, we deliberately chose a black ordinary men’s wallet. Of course, the cash inside is real."
As he talked, he raised the long black wallet on his hand. It looked like an old wallet that someone had used. Even the new one was not worth 20 pounds, but there was a new stack of 50 pounds banknotes inside.
Joe Lewis added, "This £1,000 is sponsored by the White Club. I bet for 20 minutes. Within 20 minutes, this wallet will definitely be picked up."
Yang Cheng took it and turned back and forth, squeezing his chin and said, "I think it should be improved. We should put an ID card and a few useless bank cards in it. Of course, it is best to stuff a business card. If there is a gentleman who is good at picking up money, he will definitely contact the person on his business card, and when he successfully returns the wallet, we should give appropriate rewards."
Joe Lewis and Coventry looked at each other. They didn’t have any objection to Yang Cheng’s suggestion. They called the waiter No. 8 who had just delivered ice cubes. Joe Lewis said, "Lend your ID and bank card to use Can you use it? If you lose your ID card, I will help you quickly reissue one. Of course, don’t forget to transfer the money in your bank card. Do you have a business card? Bring one too."
Waitress No. 8 is rigorously trained. In the White Club, the member name does anything weird or makes any unimaginable request. The waiters must not show a surprised look, let alone refuse the request of the member. .
Sure enough, No. 8 returned to the locker room without saying anything. When I came back a few minutes later, there were a few more things on the tray in his hand. They were his ID card, bank card or membership card of a certain shopping mall, and his business card. Joe Lewis personally stuffed these ID cards into his wallet with his name and contact information, and finally zipped it up and patted it with satisfaction.
Now everything is ready, the three of them finally confirmed their bets-Coventry bet 2 hours, Joe Lewis bet 20 minutes, Yang Cheng bet 5 minutes, when he said the number, Joe Lewis and Cowen Sui Wu was surprised, and even advised Yang Orange that the game was not played like this, so how could anyone directly admit defeat when he came up?
However, Yang Cheng smiled, and he said more than five minutes in his heart. Even Joe Lewis overestimated the will of his compatriots But Yang Cheng, a foreigner, can see it clearly, gentleman? Early to die!
In fact, the two men were only courteously persuaded. Seeing that Yang Cheng was firm, they stopped talking nonsense. Although the stakes were small, 10,000 pounds per talent, the winner of the player would be recorded, and of course the loser. We can't escape the fate of being nailed to the pillar of shame.
Because the three of them all made a bet on the wallet being picked up, they stipulated that if someone finally returned the wallet to the waiter No. 8 in its entirety, then the three were automatically judged to fail, and 30,000 pounds would be taken as The bonus was given to the'gentleman' who was not ignorant of the money. Even if Yang Cheng thought that this situation was impossible, the ugly words were always the first to be said. The game is only fun if the rules are perfected.
So, another classic absurd game of the White Club began.
The wallet was taken by someone from the White Club. He would accidentally drop the wallet on the street. The specific location should not be too far from the club’s gate, but it would not be too obvious. Under the joint suggestions of the three , The wallet will be dropped at the entrance of an alley next to the club. On both sides of the alley are the exterior walls of the building, and at the end is the back door of the club’s workshop.
After the game starts, the back door will be closed immediately, no outsiders will break into the alley, but as long as someone turns his head when passing the alley, he can immediately find the existence of the wallet. This location is very cleverly chosen, and it also allows The game is full of more uncertainties.
