606 [Catch a Bird]
It's just a matter of playing with friends, and they don't have to be so formal, so Song Weiyang and they play match play. That is, everyone plays the same hole until the ball is hit, and whoever hits the least score wins. If you continue to play a hole, the result will be determined by the number of holes you have accumulated.
Yurun's boss Zhu Yicai said with a smile: "Boss Song is a newcomer, let him play the first shot, what do you say?"
"Yes, yes, Boss Song will take a shot first. Liu Yiqian, the boss of New Liyi, said humbly.
"Then you're welcome. Song Weiyang smiled and took out the No. 1 wood (teeer).
Song Weiyang's ball skills were obviously not up to par, and he directly hit the ball out of the fairway and landed in the obstacle area, and even almost hit the rough area of the pit father.
Fortunately, there are people who are more miserable than him, and Yu Guoxiang, the boss of Xinhengde, is very tragic. The Splash Door actor landed with his golf ball flying nearly 300 yards in the wind, landing right on the edge of the rough. Due to the heavy rain last night, the grass in the rough area became long and wet, and I didn't know what to do with the next shot.
"I'm coming!" Shen Nanpeng faced the two rookies, and his confidence burst instantly. He was really better, only flying a short distance off the fairway, but unfortunately he was not very lucky, and the golf ball actually fell into a puddle.
It turns out that although the owners of this gang love to play golf, they are barely better than the newcomers who have just started, and where the ball falls after the stroke is completely fateful.
When playing the second shot, Liu Yonghang's ball was the farthest from the hole, and according to the rules, he should go first.
While Liu Yonghang was hitting the ball, Meng Xiaoping began to give advice to Song Weiyang. If the batsman is a medieval knight, then the caddie is equivalent to a knight's servant, and if the batsman is a racing driver, then the caddie is equivalent to a navigator.
After observing the situation along the way, Meng Xiaoping ran back and said: "Boss, it is about 240 yards away from the hole now, the wind is southwest, and the wind is a bit strong. There are hazards within 80 yards of you in front of you, so to be on the safe side, hit the ball with a short iron (club), hit the ball back into the fairway and try to hit the green on the next shot. Of course, you can also try it and use the 3-wood (club) directly on the green, but this is very difficult and even a professional player may not succeed. ”
"Then take a gamble. Song Weiyang said with a smile.
When Song Weiyang was about to hit the ball, Meng Xiaoping said again: "Boss, playing this kind of ball, your posture is a little wrong." Place your hands a little further down, put your weight on the front side of your body, and don't swing too steeply. Today it was suddenly windy, and the ball was too high to be controlled. ”
Although Song Weiyang has played golf many times before, he is completely a layman, so he naturally listens honestly to the caddy's command.
"Brush!"
As soon as the shot is swinged, the trajectory of the golf ball is obviously off, and the force is too strong and the shot is too high. But the wonderful thing is that there is a wind at this moment, and the southwest wind blows like that, and the golf ball actually falls on the green diagonally.
"Good shot!" the crowd cheered in unison.
It's not a sycophant, but for them, it's a peerless game, and it's quite rare to put it in the professional arena.
They're now playing a 500-yard par-5 hole, which literally seems like a normal 5-in-1 can be scored. But to really fight, novices may need 100 strokes to score, even if they are senior enthusiasts, if they are lucky, they need to play more than 10 rods, and those within 10 rods are all shit luck.
Song Weiyang's ball just now, if it is described as playing mahjong, it is equivalent to a direct draw at the beginning - two hole-in-one is considered Tianhu, and changing to a professional player is also shit luck.
"Boss Song, you are a master!" Shen Nanpeng said with a thumbs up.
Song Weiyang clenched his fists and smiled: "Luck, luck." ”
"Luck is also a form of strength. Yu Guoxiang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He couldn't get the ball out of the rough on the second shot, which was almost submerging his calves, and when he hit it, most of the force fell on the grass, and he only hit the ball less than 10 yards away.
Zhu Yicai rubbed his hands and said, "Look at me." ”
He also wanted to learn from Song Weiyang to attack the green, put on a professional posture with great care, and also hit the ball out of the spin arc, so that it would not roll too far when it landed. It's a pity that Zhu Yicai used too much force, and the golf ball flew directly over the green, and no matter how well the ball spinned, it was blind.
On the third shot, Song Weiyang hit the ball last.
It is possible to wipe the ball on the green, Meng Xiaoping carefully marked it, and then carefully wiped the water stains on the ball.
"Boss Song, strive to catch the eagle directly!" Everyone gathered around, and they looked extremely excited.
That scene was like a group of fishing friends going fishing, and suddenly a big guy in the water bit the hook, and everyone else ran over to cheer. It doesn't matter if they win or lose, they play here for a year and probably won't touch an eagle ball.
Meng Xiaoping was also very excited, of course he hoped that Song Weiyang could score, under normal circumstances, guests scored eagle goals, then they would definitely have to double the tip. But he still advised: "Boss, generally after going to the green, professional players also go into two holes, and it is good luck to go directly into the hole. You have to hold steady on this shot, try to hit the ball close to the hole, and even if you can't make it, you have to set the stage for the next shot. ”
Song Weiyang suddenly felt that this thing was quite interesting, he relaxed and exhaled, and then gently pushed it with his club.
"Alas!"
"The eagle has flew!"
Everyone sighed in unison, all feeling a little disappointed, and just a little bit, the ball rolled over the hole.
Shen Nanpeng said: "Let's stop first and let Boss Song continue to fight." The Eagles didn't score, and it was good to make a birdie. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Zhu Yicai hurriedly agreed.
Respectful is better than obeying, Song Weiyang continued to putt, and this time he finally hit it without any danger.
"It's really a birdie!"
"Boss Song is awesome, the first time I played with you, I almost caught an eagle. ”
"Boss Song is really lucky, or let's try it on the par-3 hole, maybe Boss Song can get an albatross (one hole-in-one). ”
"Birdie ball is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Boss Song must treat you today!"
“……”
The rest of the ball was not played, and with the help of birdie, everyone ran to the clubhouse to have a good time, and by the way, they gave the tips of the caddies.
First they drank tea and chatted, and then they ate together at noon.
After eating, Liu Yiqian suddenly asked, "Is Boss Song interested in art collection?"
Liu Yonghang laughed: "You're pulling people to collect together." ”
"Your diploma is similar to me, do you know what a work of art is?" Yu Guoxiang quipped.
Liu Yiqian used to open a rental, Yu Guoxiang mixed even lower, he used to pedal three wheels, and both of them were not very highly educated.
Liu Yiqian smiled: "I don't understand art, but I understand people." Anyway, I don't pick up the omissions, I only buy things at the auction house, which art is the most valuable, just look at how many are entrusted on the scene, and how many really want to buy it. ”
Song Weiyang couldn't help but want to laugh, he knew Liu Yiqian in his previous life, this is a famous name in the collecting world.
Let's put it this way, in terms of the money spent on collecting, Liu Yiqian can be called China's No. 1 collector. 308 million to buy Wang Xizhi's "Ping An Post", 50.37 million to buy Su Shi's "Gongfu Post", 169 million to buy "Eighteen Ying Zhen Picture Scroll", 1.084 billion to buy "Fruit Girl Lying on the Side", 280 million to buy Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup...... Let's put it this way, since 2009, he has spent at least 1 billion a year collecting art. I don't know if people are stupid or not, but they definitely have a lot of money!
In particular, Su Shi's "Gongfu Post" was said by the Forbidden City experts to be a fake thing, and Sotheby's auction house also sued the Forbidden City experts for this, and the truth of this thing was not clarified until the end.
And Liu Yiqian, who spends so much money on art collection, admits that he doesn't have any connoisseurship, anyway, just point to the most expensive one and buy it. He said: "I started as a taxi, I know how to read words and looks, and I think I can read people accurately. The lot with trust is parallel goods, some people really grab the boutique, and many people are crazy to grab the masterpiece. ”
This old man spent 280 million yuan to buy a Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup, and during the handover process, he actually used the chicken bowl cup to make tea and drink it, which caused a heated discussion in domestic public opinion at that time.
Inevitably, Song Weiyang was dragged by Liu Yiqian to admire his collection.
Liu Yiqian pointed to the painting on the wall and said proudly: "This is Mr. Wu Hufan's masterpiece, as if 12 open "So Many Delicate Pictures", the stock price at that time was 1.2 million - 1.8 million. There is a collector named Zhang Zongxian who is determined to get it, but I was stunned to rob it at a sky-high price of more than 2 million, and Zhang Zongxian was so angry that he no longer bought Mr. Wu Hufan's works. ”
"When?" Song Weiyang asked.
"In '97," Liu Yiqian said with a smile, "I have a friend named Dong Guoqiang, who is the chairman of Kuangshi International Auction House, and he said at the time that I was crazy to buy a painting for more than 2 million, and this painting was worth 1.8 million yuan." But I'm not short of hundreds of thousands, I can buy it for hundreds of thousands more, why don't I buy it?"
Song Weiyang said happily: "Very good, rich, capricious!"
Liu Yiqian said: "In the beginning, I was collecting to make money, just like speculating in stocks. But gradually I became addicted, and now I only buy and not sell, I want to be a collector, not an art dealer. If Boss Song likes it, I always welcome you to visit my collection, this kind of good thing needs to be shared by everyone to be interesting. ”
"How do you think of a collection?" asked Song Weiyang.
Liu Yiqian recalled: "It was about 93 years ago, when I was still trading stocks for a living. I once went to Beijing to buy the internal employee shares of a state-owned enterprise, and I happened to encounter the first art auction of Beijing Guardian Auction House. At that time, the publicity was so big that I was lying in the hotel reading the newspaper and saw the advertisement for the auction. I thought it was quite fresh, so I went to see it and bought a lot album for 200 yuan. The album was full of names, and I had only heard of Guo Moruo and Li Keran, and then I bought their works. At that time, it cost a total of 180,000 yuan, and now it has risen to at least 1 million yuan, and it is really difficult to say whether it is a loss or not. ”
180,000 in 1993 or 1 million in 2003, it is really difficult to say which is more valuable for businessmen.
After visiting this old man's collection, Liu Yiqian said: "Boss Song, next time there is an auction of good things, we can go over together and join forces to eat all the fine products!"
"I'll go when I have time. Song Weiyang said with a smile.
It's quite interesting to deal with these rich people, there is a mess of everyone, at least Song Weiyang is very happy when he plays golf.
