Text Chapter 39 does not rely on appearance, but on strength
The new carriage stopped, and a man over 190 tall stepped out of the car, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, regardless of Eastern or Western aesthetics, he was a big handsome guy. Dressed appropriately, it feels out of place here as a whole.
"Brother Peng, what kind of Hua Tian is this? What is his appearance! What is his origin? Our families are not bad for money, why do you say that our families together are not enough to fight with him?" Di Wei saw Hua Tian's face full of disbelief. It's not easy to convince these rich second generations.
Xiao Peng looked at Huang He: "What do you say, I say?"
Huang He smiled bitterly: "It's better for you to talk about it." β
Xiao Peng said: "Okay, I'll just say this, Hua Tian, a Chinese-British mixed-race, later gave up his British nationality, represented China in the Olympic Equestrian Eventing, and won the eighth result, don't underestimate this eighth, this is China's best result in this event! At the age of 14, he became a registered professional jockey in the International Equestrian Federation, and you must know that the practice of the International Equestrian Federation is that you can only register a professional jockey at the age of 16. At the age of 15, he became the youngest one-star jockey at the FEI and the youngest two-star jockey at the age of 16, and in 2005, the first five-star red flag was displayed at the International Triathlon venue, and the reason was because he competed. β
"So awesome?" Cai Junwei interjected.
Xiao Peng nodded: "This is nothing, he is also the youngest three-star rider in the world, the first Chinese jockey in China to qualify for the World Equestrian Games, and won the best rider in the world's 25 age group for two consecutive years." He also represented China at the London Olympics, the Incheon Asian Games and the Rio Olympics. It can be called the flag-bearer of our Chinese equestrian eventing. β
Di Wei snorted coldly: "What you said is his own achievement, you haven't said anything about his family." β
Xiao Peng glanced at Di Wei: "Damn, you dead duck has a hard mouth, just rely on his own achievements, he can completely throw you a few streets." I'll just say this, just this Huatian, you can rely on family affairs and appearance, but people have to fight for their personal skills, and they are much better than you by virtue of this! It's not that I stink you, even Huang He is much better than you, no matter what the result is, at least people are serious about doing what they like. And what about you? I say you want to paint and be a painter all day long, but I haven't seen you paint a single picture. β
After hearing this, Huang He looked at Xiao Peng with a speechless expression: "Uh, Xiao Peng, I don't think you're praising me." β
And Di Wei was also speechless by Xiao Peng's words, and muttered: "I'm not γγγγγγ Inspiration: Yes, you need inspiration to draw. I didn't have the inspiration to write. β
Xiao Peng raised his middle finger at Di Wei: "Don't you want to know about other people's family affairs? Okay, I'll hit you completely today." I'll just talk about his immediate family. Let's just talk about his grandfather, who was the first pilot in the history of the Chinese Air Force, and who once served as vice president of the Fourth Aviation School of the Chinese Air Force, and Grandpa Mao once wrote an inscription for him: 'Lonely hero'! Do you say that he is awesome? And his grandmother participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea as a military doctor, is this enough for you to drink two pots? His father Huashan is engaged in the aviation industry and runs a mass airline in China, do you think his family is prominent enough?
Di Wei was stunned for a long time: "He is the third generation of red?"
Xiao Peng snorted coldly: "I just said it on his father's side, not his mother's side." Have you seen the movie "Bridge on the River Kwai"?"
Di Wei nodded: "Why haven't you seen such a classic movie? This movie also won the Oscar for Best Picture, isn't it the story of the British officers who were forced to build the Bridge over the River Kwai for Japan during World War II, and then did their best to prevent the bridge from being blown up by the British task force?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "If I tell you that the prototype of the British Army Colonel Nicholson in "Bridge on the River Kwai" is Hua Tian's grandfather, what would you think?"
Di Wei was stunned: "The old-fashioned stubborn British gentleman who built the bridge in the movie you said, and the dead-hearted eye who never leaves his mouth every day is Hua Tian's grandfather?"
"Well, I'm noncommittal about your assessment, but it is. That movie really tells the story of his grandfather. Xiao Peng admitted.
Seeing that Di Wei was speechless in shock, Xiao Peng lit a cigarette and took a puff, and continued: "His grandmother is not an ordinary person, she is the descendant of Henry VIII's third wife, and Vivien Leigh and other celebrities are best friends, well, she is the so-called nobleman." As for her mother, she turned out to be a director of Procter & Gamble Asia Pacific and a senior member of the British Racing Committee. You can now understand why both of them went to Eton College, right? By the way, his brother also played sports, but he played cricket, and was a member of the MCC Cricket Club in London. And he himself is a person on the list of 'famous old Etontons', do you want to know who else is on this list? Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry, Belglils, the poet Shelley, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Duke of Wellington, etc., etc. Hey, what else are you not convinced?"
Hearing this, Di Wei was completely speechless, and after being silent for a while, he said, "This family is also a cow." β
Cai Junwei, who was not speaking on the side, spoke: "You said that his brother plays cricket? Isn't this a sport that Ah San plays? His family is so awesome, why does his brother play this? This is too unproductive, right?"
Who knew that after he finished speaking, several people at the scene looked at Cai Junwei like fools.
Mengzi smiled: "Cai Fatzi, let's just talk about it with a few people, don't go out and say it, otherwise it will make people laugh." β
Cai Junwei was stunned: "Did I say something wrong?"
Mengzi said: "I'm not as good as Xiao Peng in other things, but I still have a little say in this movement." We Chinese don't know about cricket, but we must not underestimate cricket! Let's not talk about other places, let's just say that in India, the output value of the Indian Cricket Premier League has now exceeded the Olympic Games and the Football World Cup, second only to the American Rugby League! And Indian cricket is now the second highest paid league in the world, second only to the NBA! What American professional baseball league, Premier League, Serie A, etc., all inferior to him!"
Cai Junwei was unconvinced: "No one plays cricket except for Indians." β
Mengzi shrugged: "Don't be ignorant and naΓ―ve, the annual cricket World Cup is the fourth largest event in the world after the Olympic Games, the World Cup, and the Rugby World Cup, and it is also one of the most watched sports." Because the movement originated in the United Kingdom, it is extremely popular in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and other countries. β
The countries where cricket is popular belong to the Commonwealth. The so-called Commonwealth is composed of 52 countries and territories, most of which are former British colonies or protectorates. Countries like India, Australia, Canada, Pakistan, etc., all belong to the Commonwealth. The Queen is the nominal head of the Commonwealth, but has no rights. And these Commonwealth countries are not fuel-efficient lamps, like Australia, which shouts slogans all day long to withdraw from the Commonwealth, and in the Cricket World Cup, the favorite thing to do is to abuse the British teamγγγγγ
But don't underestimate the influence of the Commonwealth, after all, it is composed of 52 countries, and maybe one or two are not very powerful, but 52 together is terrible. It occupies almost 1/5 of the world's territory. It is precisely because of this that cricket, as the 'sport of the king' of England, is still regarded as a middle-class sport, and it is currently developing extremely well in the world, and the number of fans in the world is second only to football.
Of course, this is thanks to populous countries such as India and Sri Lanka, which are crowded and love cricket. Offers a large fan baseγγγγγγ
Huang He sighed: "Look at people, family affairs are so good, they have such good achievements, and they still come here to participate in the competition, and then look at us, this is not better than not knowing, comparing the two sides, we are equivalent to eating and waiting to die." β
Di Wei smiled: "With him to compete, you have a lower chance of winning, right?"
Huang He listened to Di Wei's words and didn't answer, but the expression on his face said everything.
Xiao Peng looked at Huang He with a comforting expression: "Forget it, don't think about it so much." Do me a favor tomorrow. β
Huang He was puzzled: "Ah, what did you say about it?" β
Xiao Peng said: "Teach me to ride a horse tomorrow." I don't know how to race and ride a horse yet. β
Everyone: "γγγγγγ Di Wei said: "Brother Peng, you are going to race, but you told everyone that you don't know how to ride a horse?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "Of course I can ride a horse, I'm talking about racing and riding, this is not a concept, usually we ride a horse, we all sit on the back of a horse, but if you want the horse to run fast, you can't do this, but step on the pedal body and lean forward, using a posture similar to squatting." I've never tried it before, so I'll practice it tomorrow. β
Di Wei stretched out his thumb: "Brother Peng, you won, you are called grinding the gun in the battle and it is not fast and light." Damn, do you dare to participate in the equestrian eventing competition tomorrow after you practice equestrianism?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "What don't you dare? Tomorrow I will practice for a day, and I will dare to register as a professional jockey in the International Equestrian Federation." β
The crowd was speechless again.
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "You have also seen that Hua Tian has such a good life experience and works so hard, as the so-called industry is good at diligence and frolic, no matter what you do, if you want to achieve results, you have to work hard for it." Look at Hua Tian, when people evaluate him, he is an 'elite', and when he comes to you, he is a rich second generation. Do you know where the gap is?"
Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Xiao Peng paused and continued: "When you are playing games, others are staying up late and working overtime to catch up on projects, when you are lazy and fishing, others are working hard to accompany customers, when you sleep at night, others are working without sleep and food, and when you travel here to eat game, others are working all night to make business plans! And this is the reason why others die suddenly at work in their twenties, and you have good skin and good spirits. β
"Poofγγγγγγ Brother Peng, you won, really!"
