1344 [Monopoly]
While the summer was busy writing the script for "Uncle Zombie", the manager of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Hui Hua Restaurant was also reporting to the board of directors what happened last night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He originally wanted to suppress this matter, but in the end he didn't suppress it and was stabbed out, so he had to recruit them all now.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club is a club-like organisation governed by a Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is composed of 12 prominent members of the community, all of whom are voluntary and do not receive any remuneration.
But then again, the Hong Kong Jockey Club has 24,000 members, either high-ranking eunuchs or celebrities, in short, not a single ordinary person.
Serving as a director of this club, even if you don't get paid anything, this network alone is already comparable to a huge amount of wealth. Therefore, the title of director of the Jockey Club is a sought-after item, more valuable than the knighthood of the British Empire.
"The Feng family, the Jin family, and the Zhang family have no way to teach their children, and they have broken the law, and doing such ugly things in our club's restaurants is simply ruining the reputation of our club, and I propose to cancel the membership of the three of them. After listening to this, Director Guo Daming frowned and proposed.
When several directors heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
"Is Summer really disdainful of us Jockey Clubs?" asked Peter James, the chairman, afterwards.
He was born into a British aristocracy whose ancestors had come to Hong Kong since the Raven War, and was involved in the preparation and formation of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Their family is inextricably linked to the horse club, even if it is not an exaggeration to say that the horse club is their family property.
Therefore, when he heard the manager say that Summer was very disdainful of the Jockey Club, he immediately felt very angry, and felt that Summer was too arrogant and wanted to teach him a lesson.
Although it has been confirmed that Hong Kong will return to the motherland, many British companies have reined in their edge, such as Swire, Hongkong Land, Wheelock, Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa and other British-funded companies have successively sold off their assets and left Hong Kong. But there are still some British businessmen who are used to being powerful before, and they can't turn around for a while.
"That's right, that's what he said. The manager nodded again and again.
He hated Summer very much. If he hadn't brought someone to arrive yesterday, it wouldn't matter if those rich people had wheeled Qiu Shuzhen's rice. How much of a storm can an ordinary person set off, if something happens, give some money and settle it.
It's just that Lai Xia is unrelenting and aggressive, and finally makes a big fuss, and he has to be questioned by the board of directors, and whether the restaurant manager throne can be kept at that time is still two words, so he hates summer and wants to use the Jockey Club to overthrow summer.
"Hmph! "How can this be true!" said Peter, slapping the table, "Fellow directors, Summer is too arrogant, and I suggest that he be taught a lesson." ”
Hearing him say this, all the directors present, except for the three foreign directors, the other eight Chinese directors did not nod.
"Mr. James, please calm your anger!" Director Xie Zhiguo waved his hand, "The whole thing has so far been just Manager Cui's words. We don't know what the truth of the matter is, so it would be unwise to react rashly!
Besides, Xia is not an ordinary person, his wealth has accumulated to more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, and he is firmly in the second place in the list of Hong Kong's richest people. It is not easy for us to teach him a lesson, and we should do a good job of investigation, assessment, and preparation in advance before we can act. ”
"I agree with Director Xie. Lessons in summer are not overnight, and it is not advisable to make hasty decisions in a hurry. Director Guo Daming also nodded.
I don't think it's a good thing to make enemies rashly. If we can bring summer into our Jockey Club, we can strengthen our strength. Director Zhou Zhenglin also suggested.
"Yes, yes, it's long overdue to have recruited Summer into our club. "We at the Jockey Club aspire to attract the best people in Hong Kong. It would be a dereliction of duty for us to be the second richest man in Hong Kong in the summer, but not yet to be a member!" several directors echoed.
Peter James originally wanted to teach Summer a lesson, let him know that Hong Kong is still ruled by the British, but when he saw that these Chinese directors were all on his side, he immediately had a headache.
"That's enough!" he slapped the table, "then according to Director Xie's opinion, we will investigate first." If the investigation turns out that Summer is disrespectful to our Club, I hope that all directors will work together to uphold the Club's reputation. ”
It would be unwise and simply not feasible to force one's own plan with the unanimous opposition of a majority of the directors. In that case, then settle for the next best thing and do your research first.
Anyway, the investigation is also done by people, and since it is done by people, there is a possibility of tampering with the truth. When the time comes, it will be said that Summer is disrespectful to the Jockey Club, and ask everyone to teach him a lesson, who can refute it, and what reason is there to refute it.
"Oh well. Hearing him say this, several Chinese directors had no choice but to nod.
……
In the summer, I came home from work in the evening, and after eating, I continued to go back to the study to write "Uncle Zombie".
"Brother Tian, come out quickly~" When he wrote at half past nine, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" asked Natsu as she opened the door, confused.
"Come on, broadcast a new variety show wirelessly. Wang Qixian said in surprise.
"Oh?!" Summer was stunned, followed her to the living room, and sure enough, she saw that the new version of the wireless variety show was being broadcast.
I saw a big stage on the screen, and the grid was printed on the stage. Several guests were standing in the lattice, and one of them was rolling the dice. After rolling the dice, he jumps forward according to the number of points, and when he reaches the corresponding grid, he can get prizes, questions, points, or penalties inside.
"Isn't this 'Monopoly'?" Summer's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she remembered the computer game "Monopoly" that she had played in her previous life. That gameplay seems to be very similar to this one, except that you can build a house.
"This is the new version of TVB's variety show? Yes, it's quite creative. He smiled.
"Monopoly" was a smash hit in its previous life, and many computers in Internet cafes have this game installed, and it is said to be the most popular among girls.
And the game "Monopoly" is actually derived from a board game similar to "Strong Chess". This type of game originated from the "landlord game" at the beginning of this century, and was not popular in the early days, and even went unnoticed for a time.
However, when students in Harvard's Princeton Department of Economics stumbled upon the game, they were immediately amazed, and they enriched and developed the gameplay of the game, making it gradually popular.
I didn't expect wireless to be quite smart, and I even thought that it would become a variety show, and it was estimated that it would be popular.
