Chapter 68: Cuban Cigars and Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs

Duanmuci has always felt that anyone or everything should have a bottom line, and there is no system without a bottom line, and no system is not allowed. No matter how low the bottom line is, it can't be lower than the horizon, and the bottom line that can only be dug by digging a few meters down with both hands on the ground is not called the bottom line, it is a criminal potential.

As long as there is a bottom line, everything is easy to say, Duanmu Ci felt that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the countries were endlessly conquered, and the people were turbulent and displaced, so he entered Qin in white to help the first emperor conquer the world, pacify the six countries of SD, and dominate the world. But this "domination of the world" also has a bottom line, that is, the defense of the country cannot die. Weiguo is the state of Duanmuci's parents and his mulberry, so the condition for him to help the first emperor is to keep the Weiguo Temple, and the first emperor agreed, let go of Weiguo, moved to Yewang County, and canonized Weijun.

Later, Zulong died, and the second Hu Hai took the throne, and he destroyed this bottom line. It was decreed that Wei Junjiao should be abolished as a concubine, and the temple of Weiguo would be the heir.

Duanmu Ci will never tolerate people who destroy the bottom line, so later he assumed the pseudonym Zhang Zifang, disguised himself as a Han Di family, and devoted himself to Liu Bang's account to help him destroy Qin Pochu and win the world. In Weiyang Palace, he was keenly aware that Liu Bang was very similar to Gou Jian a hundred years ago, and he could not be rich and noble, so he hurriedly retired and passed the title of Marquis to his adopted son.

For the bottom line, Duanmu Ci can hold the rise and fall of the world, rejuvenate the country with one word, and lose the country with one word. It can also be seen that he attaches great importance to the "line" of the bottom line, and the bottom line is his red line.

The red line cannot be crossed, and those who cross it will die.

If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle, Duanmu Ci has witnessed the consequences of destroying the bottom line countless times. In Duanmuci's eyes, the first time the bottom line was destroyed was the Spring and Autumn Period, and the bottom line of that era was "Rites and Music", and later Rites collapsed, so the world was in chaos.

That is the bottom line of the world, and now that the times are changing, what Duanmuci wants to abide by is the bottom line of the business era.

It's like playing a game of chess, you can tolerate repentance, you can tolerate cheating, you can even allow the viewer to help, but you must not flip the board, because if the board is lifted, you can't play.

Duanmu Ci just wanted to play chess, and didn't want to smash people with the chessboard.

What the Morgan family is doing now belongs to the category of "flipping the chessboard" in Duanmuci's eyes, which is very unauthentic. Morgan wants to show the Duanmu family that the management of the Rare Club is not very dignified, but it can be regarded as a righteous and bright teacher, and it is a normal means of competition. But now Morgan is actually with Japanese black. Dao collusion, ready to engage in some framed fame, this is not authentic!

It's like two people playing chess, and suddenly a person pulls out a knife from his waist and puts it on the neck of the opposite player, and then lifts the chessboard, saying that he can't play, and changes the knife.

What a "" this is.

Although it seems that the Duanmu family sends commercial spies to the world, it is actually within the inherent rules, because other chaebols also do the same. It's like when countries condemn the act of espionage, but in fact everyone does this dirty thing again! It's just that each has his own ability, you can catch it, you can do it, and if you can't catch it, you deserve it! Who called you incompetent?

Therefore, this kind of behavior of espionage is allowed by default even in the international community, it is an unspoken rule, you arrest yours, I arrest mine, and it is a big deal to exchange spies with each other. But you can send a spy, but if the spy wants to be a part-time assassin or a terrorist, you can't! That's a rule-breaker. Both the rules on the countertop and the rules off the countertop have been trampled on.

It's similar in nature to what Morgan is doing now

It's not early, it's twilight, and it's getting dark, Bu Tongxun put down the things in his hand, got up and went to the kitchen to wrap his kitchen skirt and start washing his hands and making soup, leaving Duanmu Ci to sit on the sofa alone and groan.

After thinking for a while, Duanmu Ci still didn't seem to have a clue, Duanmu Ci leaned over and took out a Havana cigar from the cigarette case on the coffee table, then cut off the cigar head with a delicate cigar cutter, then slid the long-handled match to light it, waited for a few seconds for the sulfur to dissipate, and then placed the cigar body on the flame and rotated it slightly to burn it evenly.

Duanmu Ci is skillful in his technique, and at first glance he is a genuine "old smoker".

In fact, Duanmu Ci really doesn't like to smoke, it's not because it hinders his health or anything, after all, his health doesn't need to be deliberately maintained. It's because smoking gets in the way of others, after all, not everyone loves the smell of smoke, even if the cigar aroma is mellow.

Speaking of which, he smoked cigars, which was not a habit, was infected to him by Xu Zhimo, and in the twenty-third year of the Republic of China, Tagore came to China, and Xu Zhimo accompanied him, and Duanmu Ci happened to pass by Haishan and stayed. In a private club, Tagore and Xu Zhimo swallowed the clouds, and by the way, they also invited Duanmu Ci to bring one, but Duanmu Ci did not shirk it.

And at this moment, Tagore asked Xu Zhimo, "DoyouhaveanameforcigarinChinese?" (Have you ever given a cigar a Chinese name?) Xu Zhimo pondered for a while and replied, "Cigar's burning is as white as snow, and Cigar's tobacco rolls are like eggplants, so let's call it a cigar!" "The name of the cigar is determined.

Duanmu Ci took a puff slowly, took it in his mouth, and then spit it out gently, his gaze gradually became firm in the faint incense of smoke, "I'm going to Japan." He whispered.

A cigar is a tobacco that should not be smoked sharply, because one of its charms is that it is unhurried, and it is very pleasant to close your eyes after taking a puff. Just when half of the cigar burned out, Bu Tongxun had already set the table, walked over and found Duanmu Ci smoking a cigar with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Sir, it's dinner time, not cigar time." ”

Once upon a time, gentlemen would set up a dedicated time and space in their homes to enjoy cigars, which was nicknamed "cigar time". Of course, this is just the old style of the gentleman's time, which is long gone. Smoking a cigar is a private spiritual experience for mature cigar lovers, even on battlefields and big ships, like Castro and Hemingway.

Duanmu Ci held the cigar in his hand and did not crush it, crushing the cigar is a vulgar act, which basically belongs to the category of burning the qin and boiling the crane. True cigar lovers treat unsmoked cigars by waiting for them to go out naturally, then cutting off the cigarette butts and putting them back in an aluminum tube for preservation – which is what Duanmu did.

"I'm not a gentleman, I'm an adult." Duanmu Ci said a joke.

……

……

"Adults want to go to Japan?" Bu Tong smoked chopsticks, and a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs fell back into the plate, "No, absolutely not!" ”

Duanmu Ci picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs, sandwiched them into Bu Tongxuan's bowl, and laughed softly, "Why not?" ”

Hitomi took a bite, "It's too dangerous, and, not needed." ”

Too dangerous means black. The gang is too violent, and does everything but good things. What you don't need means is that this matter is not worth facing the helmsman of the Duanmu family in person, even if the business is blown away, it doesn't matter, even if the lost money is added with liquidated damages, it is just a drop in the bucket for the family's financial strength.

Duanmu Ci put down his chopsticks, "I don't want to be idle, you know this." When I was in the United States, I used to go to Europe a lot, and now I'm back in China, and I've been teaching in schools for months, and I haven't been anywhere, and I'm a little bored. This time I went to Japan, not all for the sake of doing things, but for distraction. ”

"It's not okay to be distracted!" Bu Tongxun was very resolute, "I heard that the Rothschild family is going to hold a champagne swimming party recently, adults might as well go there to have fun, it's really not good to go boating on the Mekong River in Thailand, in fact, the capital is also very fun, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven are all very good!" ”

"The emperors in the Forbidden City have abdicated, what's the point of going there?" Duanmu Ci pushed the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs to the bowl of Bu Hitomi, "I heard that there is still a person living in the Japanese Imperial Palace who has not abdicated, I want to go and see it." ”

The tone is like going to a zoo to see gorillas.

Bu Tong didn't pay attention to the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, "What does the constitutional monarch have to see?" Isn't there one living in Buckingham Palace? Need to go to Japan? ”

Duanmu Ci said gently, "The Japanese ones are different, and the ones are more ornamental." "Sure enough, I went to see the gorillas!

"Don't be poor!" Bu Tong said angrily, "You can't go, it's too dangerous for adults to explore the tiger's den alone." If the old butler knew, he wouldn't have agreed, and if I called the old butler, he would have to come from Chicago to advise him! ”

"Who said I was alone?" Duanmu Ci smiled, "Weiyue, Yuanweiyue, he will accompany me." ”

"Gen Gongzi?"
