Zhou You and Bessain are two people with very different personalities, and if it weren't for Gracia's relationship, the two of them would not have become friends at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But with Gracia in the middle, the two of them also try to be friends with each other.

But apart from training, they couldn't find common ground between the two people.

Zhou You is a playboy, but Bessain is like an ascetic, and the aura of the two people is naturally different.

So, after discussing a business that neither of them could do, Bessain said his last purpose for coming to Zhou You today.

"Sanchez, are you still using it?"

"Of course, he's loyal, smart, and willing to learn, so I still like him a lot."

"There are many young people like him, and many of them may not be suitable for a peaceful life, so it is difficult for them to find their place after leaving the army. And I don't want them all to get mixed up in the gang, gang, although this is also a job, but after all, it is full of dangers. ”

Zhou You thought about it for a moment and understood what he meant. "I have enough people on the salvage boat, but the hotel group that Gracia and Caneiroga are currently leading will need a lot of manpower, including the casino that may win the Balearic region in the future, and then set up a casino," he said. ”

"Are you really willing to build a big hotel in Palma with an investment of more than half a billion dollars?"

Zhou You nodded and said, "It's not just a hotel, but a large-scale entertainment center integrating hotels, shopping malls, casinos, and amusement centers." ”

He hesitated and asked, "Five hundred million dollars, that's a terrible number, and if possible, invest a tenth of it in the Basque Country, and you can reap the gratitude of the Basques." ”

Zhou You laughed and said, "I'm not a businessman, but after all, business is involved. But you're a pure soldier, so let's not talk about business with each other. If you talk to me, you might as well talk to Gracia directly, because she won't refuse you, and she can grasp it better than I do. I've given Gracia all the authority, so don't worry about her powers. ”

That being said, there was a huge investment involved, and without Zhou Yu's consent, Gracia could not mobilize the funds.

But Bessain was still very happy to hear Zhou You's words, at least, Zhou You's trust in Gracia made him happy.

Zhou You also carefully analyzed with him that building a hundred hotels for five million dollars is not as good as building one hotel for five million dollars. At the very least, there is a world of difference in fame.

Moreover, the huge manpower management will collapse the people in the headquarters, so if you want to build a super entertainment city, the investment of 500 million US dollars can only be more, not less.

If you want to gain a foothold in Europe, you have to hit it out.

In 2004, Sheldon Adelson's fortune was only $3 billion, but by 2006, his fortune had skyrocketed to $21 billion, peaking at nearly $30 billion.

What did he rely on, wasn't it that his casino's stock rose sharply after it went public. Although his fortune later depreciated significantly due to the impact of the financial crisis, his success cannot be ignored.

There are several reasons why Zhou You has not the slightest interest in opening a casino in Macau. First, he does not have the slightest influence in Macao, and he does not have the slightest foundation. The second is that he is a Chinese and is unwilling to suck Chinese money.

There is a more important reason, that is, casinos will gradually be encroached on by the Internet in the future, and instead of jumping into this quagmire at this time, it is better to focus on the network now.

He laid out ten years in advance, and after ten years, he was no longer afraid of any old company.

Therefore, he did not have the slightest intention of refusing Bessain's proposal to install people. If you want to open a casino, you can't do without gangs, but compared with the Basque army, gangs are scattered soldiers.

He co-opted the Basques at this time, and he was not afraid of anyone using underworld forces against him in the future.

Of course, Bessain didn't know the idea of traveling around, but he was very satisfied with this meeting.

Although the two of them have different personalities, Zhou You is willing to compromise with him because of Gracia's relationship, which is what he is most satisfied with.

For this reason, Zhou You asked him to have a supper with him, and he readily agreed, and the two of them drank a bottle of local Pyrenees wine, and then left satisfied.

Seeing him drive away with two guards, Bessain had a high reputation not only in Spain, but also in France, and had strong connections in the South American guerrillas. In the future, if you go to Mexico and Colombia by yourself, you can run rampant, at least you won't care about anyone's provocations.

The next morning, Gracia came to the hotel very early, and when Zhou You finished practicing, he got tired of him, so he helped Zhou You take a bath and dress, dressed him up refreshingly, and came to her house with the gifts Zhou You bought.

Zhou You was at her mercy, and in fact, he also fought, but in the end it all ended in his defeat.

Not only Gràcia, but also Yan Fangqing and Paris, they all like to dress up and travel according to their own aesthetics. This also led to the fact that although Zhou You didn't go shopping and didn't buy clothes, he couldn't finish his clothes.

Every once in a while, every woman would buy him a whole bunch of ornaments and clothes, resulting in most of the clothes not being worn once.

When he walked out of the hotel, he realized that this hotel was next to the community where her parents lived, and not far from the famous bullring of Pamplona.

In Spain, there are more bullrings than football stadiums. Many small cities do not have a football stadium, but they do have a bullring, and this bullring here is one of the most famous bullrings in the whole of Spain.

Usually, there are one or two bullfighting performances every week, and at the beginning of July every year, during the Running Bull Festival, bullfighting competitions are held here for half a month.

The bulls driven down from the mountains ran through the streets with the crowd, and this was where they finally ended.

"There's a bullfight tomorrow night and we can watch it and then go to Parma."

Zhou You's lack of interest and said with a smile: "It's still important to get down to business." I promise you that I will come and spend it with you next year's Bull Running Festival. At that time, we had plenty of time to appreciate the charm of Pamplona. ”

This community should be an earlier villa community in Pamplona, and the houses in it are at least ten years old, all of them are white walls and red tiles, and most of them are three-storey.

Gracia's home is located in the west-central area, and it doesn't look much different from the house next door.

The atmosphere of the Basque Country is similar to that of China, and it is not at all different from many countries in Europe and the United States. Although they were the first inhabitants of the European continent, they were not blonde and blue-eyed, but more Asian, with dark hair and yellowish skin, but with the same silhouette as Westerners.

They generally live together as a large family, many of which are three or even four generations, with women sharing the chores of the household.

Every home that lives here has a Basque cross and a red-green regional flag on the outside of their door, and many families also have a plaque of a happy home at the door, which is equivalent to the five good families in the country.

Here, there is real equality between men and women, there is no inheritance of ancestral crafts, and the inheritance of family property is equally divided between men and women. Since the Basques are the most industrious people in Europe, the economy here is the last and the unemployment rate is the lowest.

Spain's Basque Country is the richest place in the country, and in France, only Paris has a higher economy than France's Basque Country, of course, due to policy tilts.

The family in Gracia is different from the ordinary families here, that is, because the old Volando used to be in a high position and the family came and went, so the children of the family were separated from each other very early on, and only came back on weekends.

Because of the arrival of this newcomer in the tour, today's people are relatively even. Gracia's eldest brother, third brother, and two older sisters, who are already married, all came here with their families.

Only Bessain was absent, but his wife, a boy and a girl, and their two children, were also here.

These people, plus their children, including Gracia's unmarried sister, more than twenty people gathered together, noisy, and their faces were numb with laughter, and they still did not recognize all these children.

In fact, for this kind of atmosphere, Zhou You still likes it very much. He has not had a mother since he was a child, and although he has three elders on it, they all work hard for life. They are uneducated and rarely pay attention to pursuits outside of their travelling lives.

He's never experienced this kind of big family atmosphere, so he's still happy.

Watching seven or eight women talking and laughing as they prepared lunch, he felt that this was real family life.

Old Volando was a good-looking old man with a handsome face, a bit like David Villa's older version, but much taller than Villa.

Zhou You is now 1.87 meters, but he is not shorter than Zhou You, or even a little taller. This size is very rare among Basques.

Of course, if he hadn't been so tall, Gracia wouldn't have been 1.8 meters tall.

Although he seems to be kind, Zhou You will not be fooled. To be a representative of the Basques, who has fought against the Spanish government all his life, could not be a simple person.

Before lunch, a few men sat in the living room chatting and listening to Zhou You's story. Every bit of experience they had made them curious, especially the recent salvage of the Mercedes, which aroused their strong curiosity.

A group of children didn't care about the attitude of the adults, they were noisy and noisy, and old Volando didn't care, but enjoyed the children's noise.

Lunch started at one o'clock in the afternoon, and this meal was eaten until four o'clock in the afternoon.

As he prepared for a conversation with old Volando, Zhou Yu toasted with everyone, but he didn't drink too much.

Gracia's mother looked at Zhou You's face with a smile on her face, and urged him to eat more and drink less. Seeing that Zhou You drank a bottle of red wine and was not drunk, he began to praise him for his good drinking, like a man.

Gracia was very happy, because his sister and sister-in-law admired Zhou You, and several men did not give him a cold face. Zhou You can get along with her family happily, and it also makes her let go of the big stone in her heart.

After the meal, the women began to clean up the mess again, and the children went to swim in the pool in the yard, and it was at this time that old Volandor sent out an invitation. "Evan, would you like to accompany me, an old man, to the balcony for a cigarette?"

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

Accompanied old Volando to the balcony on the second floor, Zhou You wanted to help him, but he pushed him away. "I'm not old enough to need support."

Zhou You complimented and said, "Of course, I support you not because of your age, but because you are Gracia's father. ”

Although the old man didn't say anything, he could see that he was very useful.

On the balcony on the second floor, when the sun was still hot, they sat under the eaves and looked at the rolling mountains to the north.

Zhou You helped him light his pipe, he took a puff and spit out the smoke in satisfaction. "I've been following you since the year before last, and I wasn't optimistic about your development with Gracia at first, I thought that cultural differences, including the fact that you were married, would make the two of you break up quickly. But I didn't expect that your development would be so fast, and Gracia has become completely obsessed with you, and now you are firmly tied to you with endless wealth and fame. ”

Zhou You shook his head and said, "It's us who are attracted to each other and concerned. ”

"But you can't deny that in this relationship, Gracia has given far more than you."

Zhou You nodded approvingly.

He took another puff of his cigarette and said, "I don't understand, how did you get there, it seems to be all by luck, but in many ways, it seems that it is not only that, can you help me, an old man, to clear up his doubts?" ”

Zhou You didn't answer directly, but said, "I won't hide anything from you." ”

Instead, he wondered, and asked, "Why?" ”

Zhou You smiled: "If you want to understand me, I also need your help." So I'm willing to be open and honest with you so that I can get your help. ”

He shook his head and asked, "What can I do to help you?" I don't understand what you're doing now and don't think I can help you. ”

Zhou You said seriously: "On the contrary, you have a wealth of experience and life experience, which is what I lack the most now." Although my current development is smooth, I am developing too fast and the foundation is too poor, so I am actually at a great risk now. If I want to grasp what I have now and turn it into my advantage, I can't do it myself. ”

He pondered for a while before he looked up again and said, "Aren't you willing to just be a businessman?" ”

Zhou You asked rhetorically: "If you want to do your business all over the world, can you still be a simple businessman?" ”

He laughed and asked, "So which step do you want to do?" ”

Zhou You said: "This is what I need you to help me. (To be continued.) )
