Song Miaomiao also just finished the call, shook her head at Shi Lei, and said regretfully: "I may not be able to help you, I asked a lot of people, and they also found local connections, and then, the answers they got were the same." This Huo Chengdong is a very isolated person, he hardly makes friends with others, and he almost doesn't care about business matters, and he leaves them to professional managers to take care of. Usually, he lives like an ordinary person, and basically doesn't participate in all kinds of gatherings, even charity, he donates money directly, and he doesn't participate in those charity night charity auctions and other activities at all. All in all, a weirdo. ”
Shi Lei nodded and said, "I'll try it myself, I can only give up if I can't do it." ”
"I'm afraid it's really difficult for you, my friend has a good relationship with the president of the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce, that Huo Chengdong, although he is also a very outstanding industrialist among the Chinese, but he has always refused to join the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, unless there is really business dealings, otherwise he has the same attitude towards everyone. However, my friend said that he heard from the president of the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce that Huo Chengdong seemed to have a wide range of interests, such as opera and sports, and he was interested in everything related to art and competition. And as long as there is nothing special, he will go to watch it live. There's a World Equestrian Championships tomorrow, so you might as well try your luck, and if you can meet it, you might have a chance. ”
Shi Lei drank a glass of wine silently, and remembered the man he saw at the Sydney Opera House tonight, he couldn't help but open his mobile phone and look at Huo Chengdong's photo, carefully recalling the man, it really doesn't look like it, except that they are all Chinese faces, I really can't find too many similarities.
The wine was almost drunk, Song Miaomiao naturally wanted to stay here with Shi Lei and refused to leave, Shi Lei was so good at talking, and finally used the excuse of "long hair to waist" to drive Song Miaomiao out.
After waking up, Shi Lei changed into more casual clothes and went straight to the venue of the World Equestrian Championships.
Australia is originally a country built on grassland, and places like horse farms are as frequent for Australians as Chinese people visiting shopping malls.
But even so, the tickets for this World Championship are not particularly easy to sell, and it is estimated that it will be better in the final stage, after all, it is only the preliminary round, and the Australians also need to work, so not so many people have time to watch the game.
I bought the ticket very smoothly, and after Shi Lei went in, he still found the corresponding position on the ticket and sat down according to the map.
Because he wanted to ruin Joseph's game, Shi Lei bought the high-priced tickets in the front row, anyway, the amount was paid, and Shi Lei didn't feel sorry for the ticket price of nearly 200 Australian dollars.
Joseph, as the champion of the last World Championships obstacle race, is the last in the order of appearance, Shi Lei is really not interested in equestrianism, and he just sits there bored, just waiting for Joseph's appearance.
"Young man, we're meeting again. Someone spoke a slightly jerky Mandarin and said behind Shi Lei.
Shi Lei turned his head to see that it was the same man from last night, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's really a coincidence, you also came to see equestrianism?"
"I don't usually have much to do, I'm interested in art and sports, although my interest in equestrianism is average, but I'm idle, so I'll take a look. ”
Belch...... is more interested in art and sports, Shi Lei looked at this man carefully, and there is really no resemblance to the photo, it seems that the Chinese living in Sydney have a lot of idle eggs.
Shi Lei stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Shi Lei, four stones, I don't know what you call it?"
The man smiled, shook Shi Lei's hand, and said with a laugh: "It seems that the two of us can meet for two days in a row, it is really a fate." My name is Stone, and when translated into Chinese, it should be just stone. Haha, with you, the two of us are five stones. ”
Shi Lei was also stunned, and said with a smile: "That's really a coincidence, Mr. Stone, I'm glad to be there." ”
Stone's position was originally separated from Shi Lei, but looking at the sparse pulls in this stand, especially the front row, it is obvious that there are many people, and Stone simply sat next to Shi Lei.
After watching it for a while, Stone asked Shi Lei: "It seems that you are not too interested in this, you are here to travel, why do you waste your time here like me?"
Shi Lei hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "I'm really not interested in this, but I'm very interested in the Joseph who appeared at the end." ”
"Oh, Joseph, the last World Championship obstacle jumping champion, and you're friends with him?"
"No, not friends, one might even say enemies. ”
"Enemy?" Stone smiled with interest, and asked, "If you don't mind, can you tell me about it?" ”
Shi Lei also smiled and said, "I am from Runzhou City, Jiangdong Province, but now I live in Wudong. Because of the Olympics, Wu Dong built a very large horse farm......"
It took more than ten minutes for Shi Lei to give a general introduction to the general situation of the day, and Stone frowned throughout the whole process, as if he was very dissatisfied with Joseph and the bureaucracy of the Sports Committee.
"China is now so powerful, and it has surpassed Japan and Germany to become the world's second largest economy, how can it still be like this when dealing with foreigners? What do domestic officials think when a world champion in an unpopular competition wants to requisition such a large venue? This is simply nonsense. ”
Shi Lei smiled and waved his hand, and said: "I can't say that, this matter, first, is because Joseph is too arrogant, with the mentality of the so-called British aristocracy that is out of place, and second, he is also a person who does things concretely, and his cognition has been deviated." The actions of a small official cannot be pushed to all officials. In fact, after the Sports Committee learned of the incident, it also punished the official who handled it. It's just that Joseph is a person who really annoys it, and he obviously promised me to make a public apology in the media, but he turned around and put this matter behind him. ”
Stone nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I was a little excited just now, and I may have a little misunderstanding of the situation in China." This is mainly because when my grandfather left China, it coincided with the war era, and the domestic officials and soldiers at that time were like this, flattering foreigners and insulting them. I'm so sorry. But that's why you're here to do this?"
Shi Lei said with a smile: "Half and half, let Joseph be eliminated, and missing the trophy is just one of the purposes of my trip, in addition, I have some other things to deal with." ”
"Can you really talk to the horses, and let Joseph's horses do your bidding?"
Shi Lei nodded and said, "This may be a very peculiar skill of mine, I can't say it myself, but since I was a child, it has been easy for me to communicate with animals, and animals are easy to get close to me." All I have to do is give commands to an animal, and the animal will generally carry out my commands whenever it can do it. ”
Stone laughed and said, "Then I'm going to take a good look at your special skill in a while, it's interesting, I didn't expect to see equestrianism today, and there will be such an unexpected gain." By the way, you just said that there is a second purpose, what is that?"
