Chapter 0329: An Invitation Won by Fishing
Chapter 0329 Invitation Won by Fishing
Mr. Gates' remarks made Thomson Jason and Del Ford both shine in the eye, they spent so much time, and spent so much energy and financial resources, but they could not figure out what interests James McKinsey had, and they did not expect to come to Mr. Gates's estate once and get this extremely important news from Mr. Gates's mouth.
But they didn't rejoice long before they came to their senses. Knowing this news is no different from not knowing it to them. Even if they knew that James McKinsey liked Journey to the West, they couldn't do anything about it. Do they have to go to China and invite the actor of the Monkey King to be a lobbyist in country M, or buy dozens of kilograms of gold, cast the shapes of the four Tang monks and apprentices, and give them to James McKinsey?
The problem is that if this approach works, it is easy to say, but Mr. Gates has revealed that James McKinsey is very low-key and restrained in his personal hobbies, and he is afraid that they will not buy it if they work hard to get things done, and then they will waste their time and energy in vain.
For a while, Thomson Jason and Del Ford had no idea, and the two set their eyes on Gu Yu, wanting to see if Gu Yu could think of a good solution. After all, Journey to the West was created by Huaxia, and Gu Yu is a Chinese, so when it comes to understanding the culture of Journey to the West, none of the few present can surpass Gu Yu.
Gu Yu just smiled, did not respond to the questioning glances of the two, but expressed his gratitude to Mr. Gates, and asked Mr. Gates to take them to continue to visit this luxurious manor.
Mr. Gates' estate is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and in front of it is a huge lake, Lake Washington, famous for which XYT is famous. The manor has a special pier here, and when Mr. Gates took Gu Yu and them to visit here, he invited them to board a yacht and cruise around Lake Washington.
When the yacht drove to the center of the lake, Mr. Gates asked the yacht to be moored, and then took out a few fishing rods and handed them to Gu Yu, and several people began to catch fish, and others began to prepare picnics for them.
After Gu Yu threw out the fishing line, he turned his head to see that Thomson Jason was sitting next to Mr. Gates, and was getting close to Mr. Gates, and Del Ford was also sitting not far from Mr. Gates, and turned his head to look at Mr. Gates from time to time, probably thinking about how to open his mouth to Mr. Gates, so that Mr. Gates could make peace in the middle, so that James McKinsey could raise his noble hand and let him go.
Gu Yu saw that none of them paid attention to him, so he reached into his arms and took out something that seemed to be a mobile phone, which was the external device of the lottery system. He quickly operated on it, that is, two or three minutes, and it was set, and then, looking at the line of words that popped up on the monitor, he smiled with satisfaction, and then put away the system external.
Unlike Gu Yu, they are all full of worries, Mr. Gates is purely to relax, in addition to spending a little time to deal with Thomson Jason and Del Ford, more of his mind is on fishing, soon, the swim bladder of his fishing rod is shaking, Mr. Gates with the rod, he feels that the fishing line is straight, the wrist is heavy, and a fish is hooked.
Mr. Gates smiled and retrieved the line, and sure enough, when the line came to an end, he saw a large fish poking its head out of the water from time to time.
There were already people waiting with a net, and when Mr. Gates slipped the fish and dragged the fish to the yacht, he copied the net and caught the big fish.
Mr. Gates hugged the big fish weighing more than ten pounds and laughed, he greeted Gu Yu again and again, let Gu Yu appreciate the fruits of his victory, and shouted that Gu Yu should not play with his mobile phone, he should spend more time on fishing, which may make Gu Yu have a good harvest.
Although Gu Yu used to play fishing with his father and mother, he is also an amateur angler, not even an amateur, he can catch a fish, it is all luck.
Seeing Mr. Gates smiling like a child, Gu Yu's heart moved, and he challenged Mr. Gates, saying that he would definitely be able to beat Mr. Gates, whether it was the number of fish caught or the quality of the fish, he would throw Mr. Gates a few streets, so he asked Mr. Gates if he was willing to accept his challenge.
Mr. Gates is a person who will not admit defeat easily, and he immediately agreed to Gu Yu's challenge. The two did not agree on what the bet was, and then they started their own focused fishing.
Thomson Jason is a veteran fishing friend, and he thought that Gu Yu wanted to use this method to win Mr. Gates, and then let Mr. Gates come forward to lobby James McKinsey. He thought this was a very good idea, so he came to Gu Yu's side, ready to be a fishing adviser to Gu Yu, but he soon found out that Gu Yu was really a layman and didn't know some basic fishing skills, so that he felt that Mr. Gates handed over a fishing rod worth tens of thousands of dollars to Gu Yu to use, which was a serious waste and a desecration of this kind of top-notch fishing rod that can be called a work of art in the fishing rod world.
Gu Yu didn't care what Thomson thought, he actually proposed such a bet, naturally he was full of confidence in his victory. There is an area in the system store that specializes in selling non-staple foods, in addition to white wine, red wine, and tea, and later some new products have been added one after another, although there is no fish food or anything, but many people can eat things, in fact, they can be eaten by fish.
Like many people fishing, they like to use white-soaked millet as bait, they throw this bait into the water to make a nest, so as to attract the surrounding fish, fish eat this kind of millet soaked in alcohol, will also become confused, easier to take the bait.
Gu Yu planned to use this relatively simple and primitive method, he reached into his pocket, and when he took it out again, there were two more things in his hand, one was a small bottle of mineral water, and the other was a small handful of white noodles.
Afterwards, Gu Yu turned on the mineral water, poured it into the white flour, stirred and kneaded it with his fingers for a while, and formed a dough. After that, Gu Yu took the hook and dragged down the bag of high-quality fish bait that had been hanging on it for several hundred dollars, and then pulled a small piece of the dough off and hung it on the hook.
Watching Gu Yu throw the rod and send the bait into the lake, Thomson Jason couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, he didn't dare to look at it. What age is this, and there are still people who fish with white flour? It's good to catch a few small fish now, how can you catch a big fish? If you don't have a big fish, how can you compete with Mr. Gates?
Mr. Gates also saw the movement of Gu Yu's side, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, he was not optimistic about Gu Yu's side, but he would not be disappointed like Thomson Jason, on the contrary, he still had some expectations, maybe Gu Yu What kind of fishing cheats this is, this is also possible. The reason why he guessed like this was that Gu Yu was young and vigorous, and under normal circumstances, he would not admit defeat easily.
Just when Thomson Jason had no expectations for this duel, and Mr. Gates had implied expectations, Gu Yu's fish drift shook violently, and then the fish drift sank down violently, Gu Yu had practiced aerobics for a long time, and had already practiced the characteristics of quick eyes and hands, he grabbed the fishing rod, his wrist was forced, and his arm was raised up, and in an instant, he saw that the fishing rod was pulled to an extremely exaggerated angle, and it seemed that it could break at any time.
At a glance, connoisseurs knew that Gu Yu had definitely caught a big guy this time. Mr. Gates waved his hand and asked one of his subordinates to come and look at the fishing rod for him, he got up and left his fishing position, and then hurried to Gu Yu's side, he asked for the net from another subordinate, and then lay on the guardrail of the yacht, his eyes widened, and he looked at the water with his eyes, wanting to see what kind of big guy Gu Yu had transferred this time.
The quality of a fishing rod of tens of thousands of dollars is good, even if it is almost bent to ninety degrees, it is not broken, Gu Yu's strength is great, even if the hooked fish struggles desperately, but it can't help but get Gu Yu, it didn't take long for this big fish to be pulled out of the water by Gu Yu, its figure appeared on the water surface, all those who saw clearly couldn't help but let out an exclamation, the body length of this fish is at least more than one meter, and the fish that Mr. Gates just transferred to more than ten pounds is simply pediatric compared to it.
Mr. Gates looked at the fish, then at the net in his hand, and threw it aside with a wry smile. Mr. Gates beckoned his two men, got into the water in a kayak, rowed to the side of the big fish, grabbed the gills of the big fish, and lifted the big fish out of the water.
When this big fish completely brought people out of the water, everyone including Gu Yu let out a burst of exclamations, this fish is one meter and one long, it seems that it weighs at least seventy or eighty pounds, and it is about to become fine.
Everyone excitedly took a picture with the big fish, and then let the fish go. Freshwater fish grow so big, the meat is old, not delicious, and the fish grows so big, it is not easy, keep it, you can continue to breed, continue to contribute to its population, it is for such and such reasons, so many foreign anglers transferred to such a big fish, will not eat, many times are directly released.
As soon as the big fish left, calm regained on the yacht, and Gu Yu looked at Mr. Gates with a smile and asked if he wanted to continue the race.
Mr. Gates shook his head, he didn't get Gu Yu to be so powerful anyway, the first time he fished on Lake Washington, he was able to catch such a big fish, in addition to the element of luck, I believe it should have a lot to do with the bait that Gu Yu made.
Mr. Gates directly admitted defeat, and then asked Gu Yu for the remaining white noodles. This thing is not worth much at all in Gu Yu's place, and he wants as much as he wants, so he directly handed the dough to Mr. Gates.
Mr. Gates took the dough, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, the fragrance in his nose made Mr. Gates feel refreshed, at this time, he finally understood why such a big fish was hooked, you must know that just now, he almost couldn't hold back, wanted to swallow the dough directly.
Mr. Gates gave Gu Yu a thumbs up, and then he couldn't wait to return to his fishing position, pulled the fishing rod up, replaced his bait with this dough, and then threw the hook and bait into the water, quietly waiting for the big fish to take the bait.
Gu Yu's temporary bait made of mineral water with white flour is really good, the hook enters the water for less than a minute, there is a fish bite, and when the fish is caught, people find that this is a big fish weighing more than ten catties.
After that, Mr. Gates caught more than a dozen big fish one after another, each weighing 12 catties, and the heaviest one, although not as exaggerated as 70 or 80 catties, was more than 30 catties, breaking Mr. Gates's personal fishing record.
The result made Mr. Gates smile, and instead of using up all the dough, he stopped fishing when there was still half of the dough left, and he cherished the remaining half of the dough. He believes that there must be a big secret on this dough, and if this secret is revealed, it may be an opportunity for the fishing world to reshuffle.
Of course, Mr. Gates has no intention of the fishing world, he is purely a technology freak, and he has encountered something new, and he has to figure it out.
Gu Yu didn't ask Mr. Gates for the dough back, this dough was the ordinary mineral water and ordinary white noodles he bought from the non-staple food section of the system store, and it couldn't be found outside, even if Mr. Gates wanted to research something, it would only be in vain.
Mr. Gates happily looked at the full catch, and stood side by side with Gu Yu, he said that he was willing to gamble and lose, if Gu Yu had anything to do with him, he would try his best to complete it, at this time, Mr. Gates was mentally prepared and planned to be a lobbyist for Gu Yu and them.
Gu Yu didn't say his request immediately, he just took out a USB drive and asked Mr. Gates to find a device and play the video in the USB drive.
Mr. Gates didn't know what Gu Yu wanted to sell, but he still cooperated with Gu Yu and asked them to sit in the yacht, although it was exaggerated and equipped with a private cinema, but there were also home appliances such as home theaters, and it was still very easy to put a video or something.
After everyone was seated, a staff member brought Gu Yu some meals, fruits and drinks, so that they could eat and drink something while watching the video.
Mr. Gates plugged the USB drive into the home theater, clicked on it, and found that there was only one video file in it, he clicked on it, and then a flasher popped up, and then the video file began to play on its own.
At the beginning of the video, a so-called LOGO of Gu Chao Entertainment Company appeared, and then directly started to play the title, three dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, full of momentum - Journey to the West.
Then, a magnificent video began to be performed.
This is a 3D movie made by Gu Yu with a fully automatic holographic image production and delivery system, which belongs to the reduced frequency version of the holographic movie, and the effect is definitely not comparable with the holographic movie, but compared with today's 3D movie, it can throw off the latter several streets.
The whole movie is a total of 130 minutes, completely original, and completely presents the world of Journey to the West depicted by Wu Chengen, demons, monsters, gods, Buddhas and immortals, all of which are perfectly presented in the film.
This movie does not make any changes to Journey to the West, it is exactly what is written on Journey to the West, and what the film presents is what it looks like, people don't need to guess its story direction at all, but they still can't help but be attracted to the movie. It's like when people read the original Journey to the West, they know what the story below will look like, but they still can't help but read it.
Mr. Gates has watched Journey to the West, and when they saw this movie at this time, they were also attracted to it, and the more they watched it, the more they felt that when Mr. Wu Chengen wrote Journey to the West, what should be presented in his mind should be like this, the gods should be like this, and the monsters should be like that.
When the film was screened, Mr. Gates stood up first, applauded at Gu Yu, and praised Gu Yu from the bottom of his heart, saying that it was the greatest Journey to the West movie he had seen in his life, and it was also the work of Li Cheng of the world's mythological and story-themed film and television dramas.
Thomson Jason and Del Ford are also full of praise, they didn't see this movie before, they also imagined the world of Journey to the West, but compared to the pictures in the movie, they are simply scum.
Only then did Gu Yu smile and say his request to Mr. Gates, and he hoped that Mr. Gates could invite James McKinsey to the private theater in Mr. Gates's manor house to enjoy the Journey to the West movie together.
Mr. Gates instantly understood Gu Yu's intentions, he shook his head with a smile, he had a hunch that his old senator friend was only afraid that he would have to fall into Gu Yu's ditch this time and would not be able to climb out.
Mr. Gates called James McKinsey directly and invited him over. James McKinsey didn't want to have it, and rushed over as quickly as possible, and Gu Yu, Thomson Jason, and Del Ford did not meet James McKinsey directly at first, but were accompanied by Mr. Gates to watch the movie in a private theater.
James McKinsey is a veteran Journey to the West fan, just watched a beginning, was hooked in, his eyes from beginning to end, it was motionless, the whole person even sank into it, and said a little exaggerated, even if it was a fire in a private theater at this time, it is estimated that James McKinsey will insist on watching the movie before he will consider escaping. Even Mr. Gates is inferior to James McKinsey in this respect.
