52. Gold Coast
. Three days passed quickly.
This morning, Tang Ming asked Lucy to help book a new car the day before yesterday, he was going to the Gold Coast today, and he was going to attend a charity dinner the night after tomorrow, and it was not suitable to drive a pickup truck in the past, so he bought a white Mercedes-Benz G65, which looked the same as the G63 he bought for Tang Jianguo, but the configuration was higher, of course, the price was higher.
This car sells for more than three million in China, and it is about the same price in Australia, which is not cheaper than in China at all.
Tang Ming drove around the ranch, it felt very good, the power was more powerful than the G63, and he could go anywhere in Australia with this car.
After Tang Ming finished familiarizing himself with the new car, he drove the car to the door of the villa, poked his head out of the car window, and shouted inside: "Zihui, Tony, have you finished packing your things? Hurry up, it's time to go." ”
"It's coming, it's coming, don't rush. Song Zihui and Tony soon came out, each carrying a suitcase in their hands.
Tang Ming waved his hand to them and said, "Hurry up and get in the car, let's go." ”
They threw their suitcases in the trunk, opened the door and got into the car.
Tang Ming turned the steering wheel, turned the head of the car, and drove outside the ranch.
"Don, play a song and listen. ”
"Good. ”
Tang Ming played a vigorous rock song, and with the sound of music, they walked towards the Gold Coast.
The Gold Coast is 78 kilometres south of Brisbane and takes just over four hours to reach by car from the alpine pastures.
They had left at ten o'clock in the morning, and it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived on the Gold Coast, and before they arrived, Tony had already booked three junior suites at the Hilton Hotel, all with sea views.
When I came to the hotel, I first put my suitcase in the room, took a shower, changed my clothes, went downstairs and left the hotel, drove to the center of the Gold Coast, turned around, found a good restaurant, parked the car, and walked in.
When you arrive at the Gold Coast, of course, you have to eat seafood, Australian lobster, king crab, white oysters, these three are must-try, as well as abalone, tuna, geoduck, salmon and so on.
They ordered more than a dozen seafood items and a bottle of Penfolds Grange.
Eating seafood and drinking fine wine, Tang Ming and they felt very refreshed, it is rare to eat such pure seafood in China.
"I'm full, the seafood here is so delicious, I'm a little bit able to hold on, let's find a place to digest the food." Tang Ming said with a full burp.
Tony took the last sip of wine in his glass, put down his glass, called the waiter, and asked while checking out, "How about I take you to the casino to have a few handfuls?"
"Okay. Tang Ming and Song Zihui both nodded, they had only seen casinos in movies and had never been to casinos.
In fact, there are casinos in Brisbane, but Tang Ming has never been there.
Tony said: "Then let's go to Jupiter Casino, which is one of the more famous casinos on the Gold Coast, where you can not only gamble money, but also watch shows." ”
Driving to Jupiter Casino, Tang Ming exchanged 1,000 Australian dollars for the code, and gave Song Zihui and Tony 300 Australian dollars each to make up the code, and they separated, Tang Ming took the rest of the code and walked inside.
Tang Ming walked around the casino, only to find that he didn't know how to play anything, so he could only walk in front of the slot machine, put in a few coins, and play for a while, but soon felt bored, didn't play again, and stood by and watched others play.
After a while, Tony walked over, put his arm around Tang Ming's shoulder, and said, "What's wrong, Don, I've lost everything, it's okay, I've lost it too, I've played in the casino and I've never won money." ”
Tang Ming waved the yard in his hand at him, and Tony asked strangely, "Since you haven't lost everything, why don't you play?"
Tang Ming handed the chips in his hand to Tony and said, "It's not interesting, it feels boring, it's better to go back to the hotel and lie down for a while, you want to play for you." ”
Tony shook his head and said, "When I play in the casino, I have a rule that I only redeem chips once, and if I lose all of them, I won't block them again." ”
Tang Ming stretched out his thumb and said, "Not bad, very good principle." ”
At this time, Song Zihui also came over and asked, "Have you both lost everything?"
Tony pointed at Tang Ming and said, "It's me who lost everything, he didn't lose everything." ”
Tang Ming said: "You have also lost everything, just right, let's go." ”
Song Zihui shouted: "Why are you going, we just came in, and we haven't seen the show yet." ”
Tang Ming said: "I'm going to attend a charity dinner the night after tomorrow, so why don't I have to wear a suit, otherwise people won't let me in with my outfit." ”
Tony looked at the jeans, sneakers and T-shirt Tang Ming was wearing, and said, "This dress is really not suitable for attending that kind of occasion, so let's help you pick out a few suits to ensure that you look new." ”
Song Zihui heard that the two of them had decided, so he had to say, "Okay, shopping is not bad." ”
Leaving the Jupiter Casino, they found a shopping mall, walked around it, saw a Zegna store, and they walked in.
Tony helped Tang Ming choose two suits that fit well, and at the suggestion of the salesman, he chose a shirt, tie, belt, leather shoes, and even a few pairs of socks and a few pairs of underwear, directly changing Tang Ming from the inside to the outside and from top to bottom.
These clothes cost a total of 60,000 or 70,000 Australian dollars, but the effect is obvious, after changing into a newly bought suit, Tang Ming is like a different person, exuding the temperament of a successful man from the inside out.
Song Zihui circled around Tang Ming, and said with a sigh in his mouth: "It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that this is the case, the ancients did not deceive me!"
Tang Ming moved his arm and said, "It's a little uncomfortable." ”
Tony said: "It's normal, you didn't wear a suit often before, and now you definitely don't get used to wearing it, just get used to it for a while." ”
After a pause, Tony said again: "This time the time is too urgent, otherwise I will help you find a top tailor and tailor a suit for you, then it is called taste." ”
Tang Ming smiled: "That's good, I don't usually wear suits, these two sets are enough for me to wear for a long time." ”
Leaving the Zegna store, Song Zihui asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Don still lacks a watch, go buy one. After Tony finished speaking, he turned his head and asked, "Don, what brand of watch do you like?"
Tang Ming thought for a while and said, "Vacheron Constantin." ”
Tony said, "Then let's go to Vacheron Constantin." ”
There also happened to be a Vacheron Constantin store in this mall, and they went in to look at it for a while, and Tang Ming picked out a watch from the Heritage series and spent more than 30,000 Australian dollars.
