Chapter 67 Cigar Bar
Xiao Peng said: "The horse farm needs to build several teams! Horse trainers, nutritionists, veterinarians, and the like all need the best! These days, building a horse farm can't be trained systematically, but it can't make the state of the horses worse, right? Now we have two racing horses, and a team can basically meet them, but the level must be able to keep up!"
When Huang He heard this, he patted his chest and said: "Don't worry! I will definitely do this job properly! In the equestrian circle over the years, I still have a good level of people." β
Xiao Peng said: "This matter is really crucial!
Huang He nodded: "I'll do this tomorrow." β
"What about me, what about me?" Pan Peiyu said, after all, he was the last to join the gang, and he also wanted to show himself.
Xiao Peng said: "There is also the most important thing, that is, the construction of the racecourse. Hunter Allen told me that the tracks at our horse farm are not regular, there are safety hazards, and it is easy to hurt horses, so you need to find some professionals to do this. Increase the amount and speed of work. β
The racecourse, especially the race track, must be very formal! Whether it is from the land or the grass, from the selection of soil and grass species to the level adjustment, it needs to be very meticulous.
Pan Peiyu said with a smile: "Brother Peng, don't worry, I must be interested in my family's work, in fact, I have an idea I want to discuss with you." β
"Oh, what's the matter?" Di Wei ran back, just in time to hear Pan Peiyu's words.
Pan Peiyu took a circle of cigarettes and said: "Regarding the construction of the horse farm, I have a problem in mind. If our racecourse is to develop in the future, it will definitely not be able to rely only on horse racing in the future, because there are too many fortuitous factors. What if a horse gets injured? What if there are no races? If we really want to develop other projects, we will definitely adopt a membership system in the future, right? What kind of membership services will we provide?"
Xiao Peng understood what Pan Peiyu meant, but his tone was still uncertain: "What do you meanγγγγγγ β
Pan Peiyu nodded: "Should we consider the construction plan of the membership area?"
Huang He's eyes lit up after hearing this, and Di Wei was more direct: "This is really time to think about it, since we can do one thing together, becoming bigger and stronger is the last word." Make the membership area more luxurious, let's play big if we want to!"
Xiao Peng glared at Di Wei and said, "The cost required here is too high, do we have so much money now?" Do you really want to follow your idea, our horse farm is so big, get it all down, how many hundred million yuan do you want to invest?"
After listening to Xiao Peng's words, Di Wei stopped talking, and Pan Peiyu said: "We can go to the bank for help, the land as big as the horse farm is placed there, counting our family affairs, it shouldn't be difficult to get this loan." β
Xiao Peng sighed: "You can't eat a fat man in one breath, you are not short of money, but you don't have so much money." It's just more than the top and more than the bottom. If you do go to the bank for help, it is too risky. Besides, we can't even do it if we want to participate in the event now. It's a bit too far to think. β
Yang Meng was even more straightforward, and said directly: "Yes, I feel like I'm on a thief ship now, and I thought I had thighs to hug, but I didn't expect to find a bunch of leg hair." The awkward chat magic skill was opened again, leaving Xiao Pan and the others looking at each other.
Pan Peiyu changed the subject: "Di Wei, what did you do just now?"
Di Wei understood what Pan Peiyu meant, and hurriedly said, "I just booked a place at the cigar bar in the back, let's go to the back and have two drinks." Smoke a few cigars and let's talk while we drink. β
"That's a good idea. Xiao Peng said: "Let's go!"
The so-called cigar bar is very popular in recent years, but the main product of the cigar bar is cigars, and the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to cigar bars is that they are expensive.
Xiao Peng and the others followed Di Wei to the cigar bar. The decoration here is very British architectural characteristics, it looks very solemn, from the style of the sofa to the decoration of the lamps, all reveal a retro style.
There weren't many people inside, except for a few guests in a corner smoking cigars and whispering conversations, and a cigar waiter guiding them to a sofa area. And give each person a glass of mineral water.
"What do you need more?" asked the cigar waiter.
Pan Peiyu said: "Take Romeo and Juliet's 'Churchill' in the No. 18 humidor." β
"I wonder what you want to drink?" asked the cigar waiter.
Pan Peiyu asked Xiao Peng, "Brother Peng, what do you want to drink?"
Xiao Peng was speechless, are you going to embarrass me? This cigar bar is the first time I've come in, you ask me what to drink? How do I know?
But Xiao Peng knows one thing very well, that is, if you don't understand, just ask, the most embarrassing thing in the world is that you don't know how to pretend to understand, and pretending to be a 'veteran' can only make people laugh. However, this question is also learned, Xiao Peng smiled slightly, and said to the cigar waiter: "I don't know if you have any good suggestions?"
The cigar waiter serving them was a middle-aged man in his forties, who heard Xiao Peng's words and said politely: "Since you are smoking 'Churchill', it is not recommended that you taste cocktails." Cocktails should only be paired with very light cigars, and wine and cigars together can make the tongue unusually dry. 'Churchill' has a crisp flavour and pairs well with rum, but I would recommend that it be better with whisky------ there is no such thing as a cigar like whiskey, they are a natural pair, and they are both very masculine things. β
"And what whiskey do you think is more suitable?" Xiao Peng asked.
"Considering the cigars you smoke, I personally think the best one is Johnnie Walker Green Cube Whisky, but it's mostly discontinued and we don't have it here at the moment. However, I recommend another wine that should be suitable, Glengoni 25 Year Old Single Malt Whisky. This Glengonian is aged for 25 years in some of the finest sherry oak barrels in Europe. Immersed in a traditional floor-to-floor warehouse for 25 years, unfiltered and bottled at 48% alcohol, it best expresses the flavours of oak, cinnamon, stewed fruit and Seville orange marmalade, making it the perfect after-dinner whisky that has just finished a meal for a few guests, and goes well with cigar flavours. It can bring out the icing on the cake the flavor of the 'Churchill' cigar, colliding with the effect of 1+1 greater than 2. The cigar waiter said very professionally.
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Then so be it." "Since the introduction is so professional, and I listen to the advice of people to eat a full meal, according to Xiao Peng's experience, the wine introduced by this cigar waiter must be very expensive. But it's not your own treat, it's expensive!
The cigar waiter didn't leave directly: "I don't know what chocolates you need? Lindt, Gillyline, Maxim or Dictor or Le Feifei?"
Xiao Peng didn't know why, but after thinking about it, Maxim is a good name, isn't that the pianist who played "Croatian Rhapsody" and "Exodus"? β
The cigar waiter smiled, "Very sensible choice." Wait a minute, everybody. With that, he turned and left.
Watching the cigar waiter leave, Pan Peiyu lowered his voice: "Damn, Brother Peng, connoisseur, what do you do? Is it a big family who comes out to experience life? It turns out that there are no less cigars like this, right?"
Xiao Peng glanced at Pan Peiyu: "Rub, you kid pit me, Mengzi, help me write it down, and clean him up in a while!"
Pan Peiyu raised his hands high: "Brother Peng, I surrender! I really don't mean that! There are so many people in the small circle here, don't look at our brothers' money, but I really want to make some noise, I really want you to take us to play together." To tell you the truth, a few of our brothers have talked about this, and you look like a few of our brothers, you look like a dog, but you are so aggrieved!"
"Aggrieved?" These words made Xiao Peng stunned, "What are you aggrieved?" dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, the son of a mouse can make holes, and my father and mother have created such good conditions for you, what are you aggrieved?"
Pan Peiyu glanced at Huang He, and Huang He nodded: "Brother Peng, I'll explain this matter to you." You're right, my brothers and sisters all have a little money in their families, but it also depends on who we compare ourselves with! Our city, because it is close to Beijing and is a satellite city of Beijing, so the policies given by us back then were good, and a group of people became rich, and several of us were capable. It set good conditions for us. But we can only nest in this small place! You ask me if I have any members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, and I say no, do you think I'm not aggrieved? I like to play with horses, I can't get in the Hong Kong Jockey Club, I can always go in the Beijing Jockey Club, right? But the truth is, I can't get in!"
Listening to Huang He's words, Xiao Peng was stunned, Huang He's family is also rich, the famous king of the lamp industry, why can't his children enter the Beijing Jockey Club if they want to?
Huang He looked at Xiao Peng's puzzled expression and said with a wry smile: "I tried to apply, but I couldn't find a selection member to recommend me! We are all a good person here, but when we go to Beijing, people don't like us at all! In their eyes, we are just some nouveau riche. That's when I decided to come back to the racecourse and just have fun. β
"Isn't it?Is it really that miserable?Now you have money to travel all over the world?" Xiao Peng didn't believe Huang He's words a little.
Di Wei, who had been silent on the side, said: "Brother Peng, what the brothers said is true. This reason is very simple, each circle has its own rules, our group of people are good in our city, and many people who are not as good as us also want to integrate into our circle, so can we casually allow others to enter our circle? Is our circle so worthless? In the same way, when we want to integrate into a higher circle, do we also have to face the same problems that those who are not as good as us when they want to integrate into our circle?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "You guys go in this circle all day long, can't you live without the circle?"
Yang Meng said more simply: "I can see clearly, what is a circle? What kind of Lao Tzu is the core, that is called a circle, if you can play together, you can play together, and if you can't play together, you don't force it! Why bother to praise other people's stinky feet?"
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers: "Mengzi, what you said this time makes sense! Where we go, we are the core! Taking the initiative to stick a hot face to someone else's cold ass is the behavior of the weak." Oh. I'm not talking about a few of you. β
Di Wei shrugged: "My father has said a lot to me, I don't want to listen to it, but there is one sentence I remember most clearly: what is lucky? Brother Peng, we haven't known each other for a long time, but I can see it, you are a really understanding person, what's wrong with saying that I am a weak person? Brother Peng, after getting along with each other during this time, I have also experienced a lot of things, I patted my conscience and said, I obey you! I believe that I can play with you to make a name for myself! Brother Mengzi is right, I can't stand being lowly and making fun in other people's circles. No matter how many of our brothers toss and toss together, what if we lose? Who makes us young? Lao Tzu can afford to lose. β
Xiao Peng smiled: "Okay, thank you brothers for watching it, then let's have fun together." But in front of the ugly words, no one should hide how much strength the brothers have. β
Cai Junwei raised his right hand: "I have the most important question now. β
"What's the problem?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.
"Brother Peng, what's the matter with that chocolate just now?" asked Cai Junwei.
After listening to Cai Junwei's question, everyone was collectively speechless, damn, everyone was talking about such an emotional question just now, you are good, just care about eating?
Xiao Peng shrugged: "You ask me, who do I ask?" I only knew for the first time today that Maxim was actually a brand of chocolate. Pan, what's going on?"
Pan Peiyu smiled: "When tasting cigars and whiskey, other foods will interfere with the taste buds and affect the taste of cigars and whiskey. But pure chocolate can smooth the tongue and throat, and repair the taste buds like silk skimming the skin, so at this time, eat some pure chocolate and it will feel better, but don't eat pralines! β
Yang Meng listened to it with a look of disgust and said: "The wine thing, itself is drunk for coolness, why are you doing so many messy tricks?"
Pan Peiyu pretended to be forced: "Sitting in this cigar bar is just to relax." During this hour and a half, sit down for a drink, listen to music, read a book, think about things, or chat with friends. That's a treat. β
Yang Meng came to a conclusion: "That is, spending money to buy a sense of superiority! Do you really like to smoke cigars? What kind of whiskey can you distinguish from delicious? In the final analysis, it is for two words: pretending to be forced!"
I have to say that Yang Meng is really right. At this time, Pan Peiyu and others couldn't refute it.
The cigar waiter walked back, brought a wooden humidor and opened it and displayed it in front of Pan Peiyu: "Sir, this is your 'Churchill', can you confirm that there is any quality problem?"
Pan Peiyu took out one and sniffed it, but he didn't know if he really understood or pretended to understand, but he nodded, and the cigar waiter brought a bottle of whiskey, and each person also gave a bottle of Italian San Pellegrino mineral water. After everything was served, the cigar waiter asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, how many ladies would like me to ask you for them, can you get acquainted?"
Di Wei nodded: "Of course there is no problem, they are welcome to come and share the wine with us." β
Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Di Wei, what does this mean?"
Di Wei whispered back to him: "Chinese characteristics." β
