Chapter 27: Dogs and men who use each other
Gu, we meet again, so we won't say kind words like 'nice to meet you'. β
Miss Pabrie stretched out her hand generously, pretending to be an adult and wanted Gu Kun to play a gentleman's kiss.
But Gu Kun just shook hands politely: "It's a pleasure to see you again." β
We've seen it more than a year ago in Scheveningen, The Hague, the Netherlands, so it's not a stranger.
It's just that Pabrie was only 14 years old at the time, and she followed her father out on vacation in Europe to investigate her knowledge, and Gu Kun didn't take the little child in her eyes at all. Even now, this little girl is still a few months away from turning 16 years old.
But in good conscience, the age of the foreign girl, it may not be obvious on the face, for those girls who are determined to be regular guests of entertainment magazines and courtesans, they will wear smoky makeup at the age of 16, plus their body development is early, and tell others that they are 18 or 20 years old, and others will really believe it.
After everyone greeted each other, Richard seemed to be afraid of the awkward atmosphere, so he tilted the topic first:
"Gu, since I heard that you are about to become the person who breaks the most world records in the world, our family has felt that your Lanfang's tourism gimmick must be able to get it.
I have been lobbying my second brother at the beginning of the year, and the family has made a preliminary decision to open a Hilton hotel in Lanfang this year, according to the five-star standard, and to achieve the highest level of our Hilton. I don't know if you like it or not, you won't be afraid that we will steal your hotel business. β
The tone of these words is mostly semi-ridiculous, and I don't really want to express competition.
Of course, Gu Kun also had to deal with it with a smile: "Uncle Richard, what are you talking about, Hilton is willing to come to Lan Fang, it is for us Lan Fang to have a long face." β
At least for now, after three or five years, Lan Fang has really risen, it's hard to say.
Everyone is an old fox, and obviously knows that there is a Hilton hotel in a city, which is also helpful for the promotion of the city's business card.
Especially in East and Southeast Asia.
In cities in developed countries in Europe and the United States, the impact of Hilton on the sensory cognition of the city's grade is not obvious, but in East Asia and Southeast Asia, where the West is widely worshipped, there is Hilton, which will lead to tourists' perception of the city's grade significantly higher.
In the early 90s, Huaxia was still comparing "that city was the first to open KFC and had a large number of stores", as a folk judgment on who is the "real first-tier city" or "the strongest second-tier city".
Even in 96, KFC McDonald's is not so rare, and everyone is still using this value and using other targets.
For example, Ark City, Gu Kun's ancestral hometown, has been unashamedly spread some remarks among the people in 96 years in history: Don't believe that Guangdong is the third first-tier city in China! Guangdong has not yet opened HΓ€agen-Dazs! And Ark City is the third HΓ€agen-Dazs ice cream shop in the country in addition to Beijing and Hujiang, so only in terms of quality of life and grade, Ark City is the third in the country!
This is an era when any city with HΓ€agen-Dazs can be used as a benchmark for the quality of urban life.
The lethality of a Hilton hotel will definitely allow Chinese tourists who come to Lanzhou to travel in the future to increase their pretend resources. Hilton entered China for the first time in 1988, when only Hujiang existed, and even in 96, only Beijing and Yuezhou existed, and other cities had not yet appeared.
Even if Chinese tourists come to Lanfang and don't live in Hilton, they can take this point when they go back: "Brother goes to the city tour with Hilton, but it's a pity that Hilton is too tight to live, it's not that my brother can't afford to spend this money, alas, I can only give up." β
As for the "he lobbied his second brother" that Richard just said, it is because Richard is not the head of the Hilton family now, and he himself is only the sixth among the brothers.
Their father is the founder's first generation, and the current chairman is his second brother Bob, Richard is just a playboy who is responsible for being a playboy, he just needs to play a good role as a scumbag for the family business, and often expose himself frequently in entertainment magazines with Hollywood celebrities.
Of course, his second brother was also a scumbag when he was young, but now that he is old and scumbag, he has to ask his younger brothers to help maintain the heat of the continuous scum.
"Scum for the sake of family and career", most men are willing to do it themselves. is so rich, and he is still a scumbag, which is really moving.
Even from the age gap between their brothers, it can be seen that their father was also a scumbag back then, even Elizabeth Taylor was married and played, and women have been changed all their lives, so the age difference between the eldest son and the youngest son can be thirty years old. This age difference is obviously not born by the same mother, and she has already been menopausal.
It was a bit far, and said that Gu Kun and Richard talked for a while, and Richard finally talked about the land of the hotel, and asked Gu Kun to promise with a smile:
"We Hilton will open a hotel in Lanfang, you can't card us on the land, if there is any trouble with the land acquisition at that time, it will hurt the peace. β
Gu Kun packed the ticket and said: "How is it possible, our land market in Lanfang is very free, and you can do anything if you have money." Don't make an analogy with the experience of the Chinese market, our Lanfang is an ignorant and backward country with a monarchy. β
Richard changed his "you know" expression: "Then it's decided, it's better to ask the virtuous nephew to help get a good piece of land, and first get it and clear the surroundings." When the time comes, we Hilton will buy the whole piece of land from you, and you will have the ability to make a little difference, and that is what you deserve. β
This is already a further gesture of goodwill, hoping to give Gu Kun some benefits, and then bind Gu Kun, a local tyrant.
However, Gu Kun also can't look down on the difference between millions and tens of millions of yuan on this kind of cheap land, and the Lan Fang is sparsely populated, so he can't use the favor of a Hilton family for this little money.
"The land is on me. He simply agreed.
As for the cooperation of the hotel, this can be regarded as a temporary negotiation of the intention.
Today's cocktail party was originally held by Emmerich in order to contact friends before the premiere, and Richard just used the fact that he was friends with both parties, so he used flowers to offer Buddha to make friends with Gu Kuntao.
So after chatting here for so long, the premiere over there was about to start, Emmerich's secretary came over to urge the admission, and Gu Kun, Richard and others went their separate ways.
Richard pushed his daughter and said to Gu Kun: "Watching movies, you young people have a common language, Gu, you accompany the little girl to watch it together, let's change positions." β
Then, Gu Kun followed Pabrie into the arena, and directly put his hands around his waist.
For this kind of girl with heavy makeup who wants to be a courtesan, of course, Gu Kun will not be able to be distracted for the rest of his life, but since the other party has to make friends with him, for the purpose of using each other, it is not impossible to take what they need.
Everyone needs to use each other on the cover of the entertainment version. If the other party is destined to be scum in the future, Gu Kun will definitely withdraw in advance and not get a leaf to get involved.
The premiere is in a small theater, because Emmerich is not very popular with mainstream Hollywood academics now, so there are very few insiders who come to cheer, and most of them are business partners, so Gu Kun and Richard have so many positions for outsiders who are not involved in the circle.
Gu Kun sat in the back row, and as the lights in the hall dimmed, he began to chat with Pably:
"You're very 'sensible', you can do whatever your dad tells you to do. β
"Am you sensible? This is my own willingness, I want to make more friends for me with long faces, and I don't need my dad to teach me. You're tall and mighty, unlike all the other Asian classmates and friends I remember. Pabrie was clearly unhappy that others were ignoring her sense of autonomy.
Gu Kun smiled dumbly: "Just because of this, the little girl is quite precocious." β
Pably: "I'm not a little girl! I'll be in high school when the school starts in September! You're not a few years older than me, are you? You look like you're only four years old!"
After chatting for a while, Gu Kun roughly figured out the real motives of the other party who took the initiative to accept the family task and make friends with him:
Vanity.
Although the little girl is a celebrity from a rich family, the school she attends is also an aristocratic school, and the female classmates are also comparing themselves with each other to see who makes more decent friends.
If you can become close friends with an Olympic champion with N gold medals and the man who has broken the most world records, it will be a great boost to the bragging capital after returning to school. can crush other girlfriends or something.
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls have this kind of mentality, it is very common.
Of course, Gu Kun's own handsomeness, mightiness, and masculinity also played a lot of roles. By the way, she can also contribute to the hype of the family business, and it is obvious that this little girl has been exposed to the family style and is a little precocious, and she understands all this.
After figuring out the other party's true motives, Gu Kun was even more free of psychological burden.
After watching a movie and stroking with her hands, Pabri investigated in a disordered manner: "I don't seem to see any reports about your girlfriend in the media, and you don't seem to have a public girlfriend." β
Gu Kun: "I have a girlfriend, I just don't want to make it public." This time, she came to Oceania with me, and she will cheer me on. β
Pabrie: "Then you're such a bad man, you have a girlfriend and you with others." I don't want you to mess around anymore, you just have to be friends with me, and then we'll make a little bit of a fake noise together and put it on the cover of entertainment magazines. β
Gu Kun retorted unceremoniously: "YES, I HEARD THAT YOU OCEANIC COUNTRIES ARE ALL PARTNERS FIRST, AND THEN TALK ABOUT GF/BF? GIRLFRIENDS ARE GIRLFRIENDS, TWO DIFFERENT THINGS." β
Pabrie smiled slightly: "That's right, I know my fate in the future, but now I'm still a virgin." How about it, do you want to make a bet, it's very exciting. β
Gu Kun: "What are you betting on?"
Pabrie: "If you can break the world record in all the events again, you can really get me, and you don't have to be responsible." β
Sure enough, it is a water-based poplar girl, and there is really no etiquette at all.
Gu Kun: "Then you are too much of a jack-up, you are not worth my efforts." Also, you're a few months away from officially turning 16, I'm already a 19-year-old adult, and I don't want to take this legal risk with you. β
"Bad seeds, the law is the law, so many people are messing around when they are in junior high school, who has seen the law in charge. Pabrie was visibly dissatisfied, though she had forgotten one detail when she retorted: the examples she had mentioned were examples of both men and women being classmates, both under the age of 16.
(Note: Huaxia is counted as 14 years old, so 16 years old is only illegal in some states of Oceania, but Huaxia is legal.) οΌ
Fortunately, when the two were arguing about the meat joke, the movie had already ended, and a reporter from the entertainment media filmed the audience of the audience, so Pabrie restrained herself, deliberately pulled the shoulder strap off, and leaned on Gu Kun on the camera.
Dogs and men who use each other are just men.
