245, life is only 18 holes
If Guo Xiaosheng hadn't let Xiong Baizhou live in the villa, Xiong Baizhou should now be actively in contact with Deng Lijun's family and Hong Kong fan groups, laying the foundation for the construction of Zhoumei Electric Appliance Branch and Aisheng Electronics Branch from another angle.
The procedure may be as follows: while tying up the news of Deng Lijun's sudden death to expand its popularity in Hong Kong and promote the brand image of Zhou Mei Electric, while using Xiong Baizhou's own social resources in Guangdong to cooperate with Hong Kong's middle- and upper-class celebrities.
However, when Guo Xiaosheng spoke, the situation was different.
What is Guo Xiaosheng's identity, the chairman of Henderson Land, there are Jiuli Industry and the entire Guo clan behind him, since he kept Xiong Baizhou to live at home, the circle that Xiong Baizhou contacted was different.
Therefore, Xiong Baizhou immediately adjusted the established strategy, and in the past two days, he has been mainly observing, and has not taken substantive action.
It wasn't until this morning that Guo Xiaosheng invited Xiong Baizhou to play golf together, and Xiong Baizhou really "moved".
The king of Chuzhuang was sluggish for three years and did not move, but as soon as he roared, he stirred up the wind and clouds and won the Central Plains.
Xiong Baizhou's move, I am afraid that he also wants to reach out and touch this world-famous Oriental Pearl.
······
Originating in Scotland, golf is essentially a sport that combines nature fun, physical exercise and play, with the ball being played into one of the 18 round holes on the course, sometimes nine of the course's rounds.
This sport is not only physically demanding, but also requires a high level of concentration.
In fact, until the 20s, golf was a very niche sport in the mainland, and in the 90s, there was not even an international professional standard course, and the reason for the low popularity rate was that the market did not support it, and the second reason was that the culture did not accept it.
In short, if you let Xiong Baizhou evaluate golf fairly:
From the perspective of the movement, he will feel that this is a movement that is detached from the masses, limited by the environment, and easy to learn and not easy to master.
But for the purpose of business entertainment, it is an extremely suitable means of socializing, with soft lawns, fresh air, open views, and pool views, the scenery is pleasant, and people feel comfortable.
Even if the business fails, both parties will not be too upset.
Over time, golf has become one of the places of choice for business negotiations, without sweating too much, without drinking too much, appreciating nature while talking about business by the way, elegant gentleman.
Hong Kong has been instilled with a Western education for almost 100 years, and golf is a game loved by Hong Kong entrepreneurs, and there are naturally golf courses built to formal standards near affluent areas like Repulse Bay.
In his previous life, Xiong Baizhou also played a lot, his skills were above the entry, his mastery was not yet complete, and Eagle (two strokes less than par) rarely played, but Birdie (one stroke less than par) could still be achieved.
Society is constantly developing, and the sport of golf is also going farther and farther on the road of more refinement and professionalism, so Xiong Baizhou's level is more common in mainland golf courses 20 years later, but at this time Hong Kong is already considered a top master.
"Hong Kong Golf Course"
Guo Xiaosheng walked straight into the court, he was in a very good mood, and someone greeted him along the way, he smiled and nodded in response, and others would also notice Xiong Baizhou, who was slightly half a step behind, with deep eyes and a handsome face.
Guo Xiaosheng's golf bag was naturally held by bodyguards, but Xiong Baizhou smiled and refused the willingness of others to help, only about 30 pounds, Xiong Baizhou easily picked it up, and accompanied Guo Xiaosheng leisurely.
"Ah Zhou doesn't have to take it himself next time, do you want to play with me, why don't you play like this when you don't have the strength to do it?"
Guo Xiaosheng said this, but his eyes were full of appreciation, Xiong Baizhou was young and calm, and his spirit was vigorous, and he was still not arrogant or impatient when he created a huge career with his own hands.
Although the matter of carrying a bag is small, it cannot be used as a criterion for judging a person's morality, but it can be used as an auxiliary plus point to further improve Xiong Baizhou's good image.
"Guo Dong, are you making waves again?" As soon as he put down his bag under the parasol, an elegant middle-aged man in his forties with eyes came over to say hello.
"Ah Zhong, you're so early. Guo Xiaosheng responded with a smile.
The middle-aged man glanced at Xiong Baizhou and didn't ask much, he just came over to say hello to Guo Xiaosheng politely.
Guo Xiaosheng's location is in the southeast corner of the stadium, and within a few minutes, many people took the initiative to come over to say hello, including business CEOs, children of big families, and members of the Legislative Council.
Sometimes when he meets someone of similar status, Guo Xiaosheng will chat a few words, and the atmosphere is relaxed.
"This young boy is very energetic, it can't be Guo Dong's son-in-law. ”
Guo Xiaosheng has two golden flowers in his house, and I don't know how many people in Hong Kong want to make up their minds, but Guo Xiaosheng's mouth has always been very tight, and some people saw that Xiong Baizhou was obviously not dressed as a bodyguard and driver, so he joked like this.
"Ah, what do you think of him? Guo Xiaosheng actually asked with a smile.
When others heard this, they were really taken aback, and looked at Xiong Baizhou seriously: "What are you doing in the future?"
Without waiting for Xiong Baizhou to answer, Guo Xiaosheng drove people away with a smile: "You take it seriously when you talk about jokes, it's not humorous at all, it's a wave." ”
Xiong Baizhou smiled in his heart, thinking about Guo Zixian's previous "one piece and one relaxation" communication strategy, I don't know if it was to learn from Guo Xiaosheng.
Before the official kick-off, everyone will try to play a few shots on the tee, one is to find the feel, the other is to be familiar with the environment, Guo Xiaosheng played a few beautiful high shots, and then came to greet Xiong Baizhou:
"Ah Zhou, it's time to warm up. ”
Since this kind of trial is not an official tee-off, in fact, few people will pay attention to it, but as soon as Xiong Baizhou walked to the tee, he obviously felt that many eyes around him were looking at him.
It seems that Guo Xiaosheng's "joke" just now has been heard by many people.
Guo Xiaosheng also noticed this situation, frowned and walked over: "Ah Zhou, this is the feeling of practicing waves, don't have too much pressure." ”
Guo Xiaosheng came to explain it with good intentions, he knew that the mainland was unfamiliar with golf, and he was a little worried that Xiong Baizhou had not played much and was embarrassed under the gaze of everyone.
Xiong Baizhou smiled: "I know, Mr. Guo." ”
After speaking, Xiong Baizhou put on white gloves, walked to the tee table easily, pinched a ball and put it in the palm of his hand to shake it, and after putting it on the tee, he smiled and greeted the surrounding eyes with a smile.
After the preparation is completed, Xiong Baizhou holds the rod with both hands, the little finger of his right hand is in the gap between the left finger and the middle finger, and the thumb of his left hand is smoothly hidden in the socket under the thumb of the right palm.
Some people already think that this young boy knows a little bit about the doorway.
Then, Xiong Baizhou's right foot squarely against an imaginary line parallel to the trajectory at 90°, feet shoulder-width apart, arms and joints as close to the body as possible, feet pointed inward, the club in his hand was slowly waved, and his eyes were staring straight ahead.
At this time, even Guo Xiaosheng felt that this shot must be a perfect serve.
But just when everyone was looking forward to it, Xiong Baizhou suddenly put down the club: "I'm sorry, my neck is tied too tightly." ”
In front of everyone's eyes, Xiong Baizhou put down his swing and unbuttoned the collar of his polo shirt by himself.
"Pick!"
After waiting for a long time, this is the action, if it weren't for the fact that these people all held their own identities, they would probably have to scold, and some people even turned around and left directly.
Guo Xiaosheng thought in his heart, Xiong Baizhou's work is indeed very much in line with his appetite.
After Xiong Baizhou unbuttoned it, he walked to the tee again with a smile, but this time his face was grim, staring at the flag hole in front of him to estimate the distance, lightly stretching his arms, maintaining a wide swing arc, rotating his shoulders, and exerting force at the same time.
Just listen to the sound of "dang", the golf ball is like a cannonball out of the chamber, making a muffled sound, and flying in a high arc in the sky.
You don't need to look at the accuracy, just look at the strength and arc of the ball, which is enough to make the person who is just about to leave stop and stop.
Xiong Baizhou smiled at the corner of his mouth, propped up the pole with his left hand, stared at the golf ball that was still rising, took out a cigarette from his pants pocket and lit it gently.
"Life is only 18 holes, and this group of people who want to test me on the street is not deep enough. ”
Xiong Baizhou exhaled softly a puff of green smoke.
At this point, the ball begins to fall slowly, then rolls and stops.
Everyone on the tee looked at each other, only the caddie called loudly in the distance:
"Eagle!"
"He's !! the eagle."
eagle, two strokes short of par.
