Chapter 48 Arrival in London
"Mr. Yang, your face is not very good, is there no problem?" Hua Tian was still very careful, and when he saw Yang Meng's nervous look, he came over and asked him.
Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, he's a little afraid of heights." It'll be fine in a moment. ”
Hua Tian nodded: "Then if you have something, go to the front and call me." After saying that, he walked forward.
Yang Meng, who is afraid of heights? This is the first time he is nervous about flying on a plane! When he took off, the plane shook and his face turned white with fright. Xiao Peng said that he was afraid of heights for the sake of his face.
Xiao Peng smiled at Yang Meng and said, "I thought you weren't afraid of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect you to be afraid of flying?"
Yang Meng let out a sigh: "The first time I took a plane, of course I was nervous. I don't believe you're not nervous. ”
Xiao Peng glanced at him: "Do you think it's all so embarrassing with you? It's time for a good night's sleep. ”
"Okay, okay, you're awesome. Xiao Peng, why do I feel like I'm dreaming now? Have we been going too well lately? I always feel as if we couldn't eat enough in the basement a few days ago, and now why have we become the majority shareholder of the racecourse and have taken a plane to go abroad?"
Xiao Peng listened to Yang Meng's question and subconsciously glanced at the ring on his hand. smiled and replied: "It is said that if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, we have been unlucky for so many years, and it is time for our good luck to come, right?"
Yang Meng nodded: "That's right, it's our turn to be lucky! Hey, Sleeping Beauty, don't you sleep?" I decided to sleep and get up again in London. ”
Xiao Peng smiled: "Do you think you can sleep if you say sleep? Besides, it's not good to sleep here." ”
Yang Meng pouted: "You are so stingy, you are not willing to sit in first class." This space is so cramped, it's not comfortable to sleep in. ”
Xiao Peng glanced at Yang Meng: "There are more than 4,000 in economy class and more than 60,000 in first class, do you really think we are very rich now? Why did I go to register as a jockey?
"Why did that person Hua Tian sit in first class?" Yang Meng protested.
"People are the spokespeople of the airline, isn't it normal for such a discount? He also has to prepare first-class tickets for us. I don't want to owe this favor!
"Well, let's curl up here. Yang Meng muttered, closing his eyes and recuperating
After returning from Inner Mongolia, Xiao Peng and the others were busy enough, busy with the division of shares, and busy going back to apply for passports and visas. After doing all this, Xiao Peng and the two, under the leadership of Hua Tian, went to the British registered jockey non-stop. Register your jockey early and race early. Now I am also the major shareholder of the racecourse, and I have to consider the development of the racecourse.
"Don't sleep, it's only three o'clock in the afternoon when you arrive in London, and you're not afraid that you won't be able to sleep at night?" Xiao Peng said.
"What?" Yang Meng was dumbfounded: "It's already 12 o'clock, right? You mean you will fly to London in three hours?"
"Idiot. Xiao Peng looked at Yang Meng with disgust: "From Beijing to London, you have to fly for 11 hours, but considering the time zone, it is more than three o'clock in the afternoon when you arrive at the local time in London." What are you sleeping at night now?"
"Damn, you're finally going out, aren't you going to have fun? That's London!" Yang Meng's voice was small, but his expression was exaggerated, showing that he was absolutely serious.
Xiao Peng was also moved when he heard this, but he was still hesitant: "Isn't this okay? After all, we are here to register for a jockey certificate, aren't we?"
Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng with contempt on his face: "Everyone Huatian has said it." You're a registered jockey, so you just have to pay to register. It's not like you're going to take the star jockey exam directly. It's just that you go to sign and pay the money, what's the matter? Aren't we here to play?"
Hua Tian said that Xiao Peng's strength is no problem to be a one-star jockey, but he can't directly be promoted to a one-star jockey, he must first register as a jockey, and then he can rise according to the results of the competition.
And the registered jockey, as Mengzi said, go to the British Horse Association to fill out the registration form, pay the fee, and wait for the notice. So, this time I came to London, I came to play.
Isn't it fun to come to London? I'm sorry for myself.
As one of the four largest cities in the world, London is best known for its inclusiveness. No matter what color or economy you have, you'll find your own way of life when you come to London. And London's nightlife is even more famous. No matter what you want to play, you'll find it here.
When people think of the British, they often think of words such as old-fashioned, rigid, dogmatic, and strict laws. But even so, the adult entertainment industry has retained a place under the law. Like SoHo, the UK's biggest nightlife destination, the West End theatre complex, bustling Chinatown and a variety of restaurants and hotels make up the heart of London's entertainment and entertainment scene. Other areas are also rich in nightlife. All in all, there is a coquettish side to London, which is conservative on the outside.
Of course, the most famous is Soho, which was originally a hunting ground in ancient times, and legend has it that hunters here would shout "Soho!" every time they chased their game on the grasslands, hence the name Soho. Today, SoHo is still a hunting ground, but the prey is no longer the beasts of the grassland, but the men and women of the nightclubs.
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "This is not good。。。。。。 After all, there is Hua Tian, you can't call him along, right?"
Yang Meng smiled evilly: "It's okay, let's dump him at night and go play by himself, it's impossible for him to follow us?"
Xiao Peng also moved Yang Meng's heart: "Stewardess, take two blankets." "You have to rest well to have fun at night, don't you?
Walking out of Terminal 2 of London Heathrow International Airport, Xiao Peng finally confirmed that he had arrived in London, the legendary fog capital.
When people think of Beijing now, the first thing that comes to mind is: smog. As everyone knows, the world's most terrible smog does not occur in Beijing, but in London. Beginning at the end of 1952, the air in London was silent and windless for several days, which caused foggy weather for several days. At that time, because London mostly used coal for heating in winter, there were many coal-fired power stations in the urban area, and pollutants such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide produced by coal combustion were rampant. As a direct result, more than 10,000 people died from respiratory diseases.
In comparison, the people of Beijing are already very happy, the main pollutant of Beijing's smog is PM2.5, if it is sulfur dioxide like London back then, the consequences are unimaginable!
As soon as the three of them walked out of the airport, a foreigner walked up and hugged Hua Tian warmly. Hua Tian introduced to Xiao Peng: "This is my brother Hua Ming! Hua Ming, this is my friends Xiao Peng and Yang Meng. ”
Looking at Hua Ming, Xiao Peng couldn't help but sigh, this genetics is too interesting. Two brothers with the same father and mother, Hua Tian looks biased towards Chinese, and Hua Ming is a foreigner. It should be more of a genetic mother.
"I know you, cricketer!" Xiao Peng shook hands with Hua Ming.
"Wow, that's great, you actually know me!" Hua Ming is different from his brother, a very jumpy person: "The reason why I didn't go back to China is because of my mother on the one hand, and on the other hand, Chinese don't play cricket! I don't understand, such a good sport, why don't Chinese like it?" Unlike Hua Tian's return to Chinese nationality, Hua Ming is still a British nationality.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "It's like you British don't like table tennis." ”
Hua Ming defended: "Who says we don't like table tennis? Table tennis was invented by the British, is it good? We just don't like to lose." ”
Well, he's right, there has always been only one opponent in Chinese table tennis, and that is the International Table Tennis Federation. Over the years, all kinds of reforms, such as what small ball becomes a big ball, what serve is unblocked, what is four wins and eleven points in seven games, what reduces the number of participants, and what is placed after the singles competition in the Olympic team competition, all of them are aimed at bringing the players closer together, increasing the chance of the game, and allowing other countries to win against China.
It's a pity that they were given a chance, but it didn't work, and so far table tennis is still the dominant one in China. Of course, it is not that no one has challenged China's table tennis status, just like at the Asian Championships held in April this year, Japan's table tennis 'talented female player' Miu Hirano won three main Chinese players in a row! Yoshihito Miyazaki, director of the Intensive Training Department of the Japanese Table Tennis Association, said directly: Even if it is a strong Chinese team, no one is the opponent of Miu Hirano in terms of speed and scoring ability to find the right time to defeat the enemy!
Now, more than five months have passed, and Miu Hirano has never won against a Chinese player again, and she has 'started to hate playing table tennis'. Poor baby, her psychological quality is very poor, you should go and chat with Ai Fukuhara and ask her about the horror of being dominated by Zhang Yining's 'Great Demon King' back then. Maybe you can get out of the shadows.
Hua Ming took a few people out of the airport and into the parking lot, and like his character, he drove a Lotus's single-door four-seater sports car. This is very much in line with his temperament.
Lotus cars are also famous in China, when the youth car spent a lot of money and the "Lotus Engineering" company to cooperate, in China launched the "young Lotus" car, what Lotus L3, L5 and other models, has been confusing a concept, claiming to be the original British blood, tying themselves to the British Lotus sports car. But in fact, the young Lotus and the Lotus sports car have nothing to do with each other, and the Lotus project, which cooperates with the youth car, is an automobile design and engineering consulting company, and has nothing to do with the Lotus sports car at all!
When the Lotus sports car officially entered the domestic market, this matter was in an uproar, and many consumers found that they had been fooled, and the Lotus sports car was directly renamed Lotus in China, and the young Lotus car ended in bankruptcy.
But the Lotus sports car still has a fate with China, and finally this year, the Lotus sports car was completely bought by Geely Automobile. That's good news, Geely finally has its own sports car brand.
Yang Meng curled up in the back seat, this car is too small for a large physique like Yang Meng and Hua Tian, that is called a crime.
"Huh?" Yang Meng asked, "This car is a right-hand drive car?"
"Nonsense!" Xiao Peng said speechlessly: "Britain and Japan both drive on the left, of course, right-hand drive cars." ”
"It's awkward. Yang Meng complained.
"Awkward, if you like it. By the way, do you know why the UK and Japan use right-hand drive?" asked Xiao Peng.
This made everyone in the car ask, why is this?
