Chapter 196: The Bar
The plane takes off and flies into the clouds to end the climb of the plane steadily down. The seats in the aircraft are made up of four single reclining chairs and two couches.
The four single recliners are relatively luxurious seats, which are sat by Zhang Cheng, Angelina, Uncle Li and Uncle Li's daughter - Uncle Li's daughter is about the same age as Zhang Cheng, they are all of the same generation, because they inherited their father's genes, although they are girls, they are the most capable of fighting in the younger generation.
For women to have higher combat effectiveness than men, Zhang Cheng and others in the past were very open-minded, and in ancient times, there were also Hua Mulan, Mrs. Xian, and Qin Liangyu - I didn't see that the old men who were not as good as them at that time were not alive.
After Zhang Cheng saw that the plane was stable, the flight attendant didn't come to deliver the drink, so she decided to go over and take a look, untie the seat belt and give Angelina a look, and Angelina also unbuckled the seat belt and went to the back kitchen together.
The two of them saw the flight attendant Xiaoli sitting on the seat here, and understood that this was airsickness, but fortunately, it was the flight attendant who was airsick, not the pilot. Zhang Cheng saw that Xiao Li's dizziness was not so bad, and understood that it was just a psychological effect, so he opened the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of whiskey, pinched Xiao Li's chin, and poured a few sips into her - this is the treatment method of pure western cowboys, how could there be any medical conditions in the west before, let alone fainting, even the gunshot wounds cowboys also poured alcohol.
Xiaoli was poured a few sips of whiskey by Zhang Cheng, then took the bottle and drank two sips, and said to Zhang Cheng: "I'm better." β
Zhang Cheng: "Have a good rest, let's go greet the guests." β
Zhang Cheng and Angelina each took a tray with two bottles of whiskey and a few glasses, and each was responsible for the guests on one side of the sofa. Entering the cabin, Zhang Cheng asked with a smile: "Do you need whiskey, whiskey, or whiskey?" β
"Whiskey." The first guest chose whiskey, thinking, this little Zhang is even more ruthless than Lao Zhang.
After delivering the drink, Zhang Cheng shouted instead of the flight attendant: "There is a tablet computer on the luggage rack above the seat, and it is not possible to surf the Internet, but you can play LAN." β
Everyone got up and took the computer, and one of the bear children saw the icon on it and shouted, "There are 20 of us, let's play Pro Evolution Soccer!" β
Uncle Li made a decision: "Give me CS and fuck the football." β
This is a tyrant. Zhang Cheng understood why Lu Bu couldn't win the world. Let's open CS honestly. Enter the LAN game.
After a few rounds, Uncle Li found that Zhang Cheng's reaction was very good, his marksmanship was accurate, he could break through and defend, and he was a good player. Pull Zhang Cheng into the team with his own daughter to form a team of three.
Played more than 100 rounds of CS. Until Uncle Li was happy. Everyone had to squint for a while. By the time everyone was dazed, the plane had already flown over the Pacific Ocean and the western part of the Americas, landing at the private airport at Zhang Cheng Ranch in the afterglow of the Texas sunset.
After getting off the plane, the ranch was on the private airport. The manager and the deputy manager made horse stakes, and one person led a dozen horses to meet the boss and the tour group.
Zhang Cheng saw the manager and habitually asked, "How is the ranch now?" β
In fact, there is not a single cow in the pasture now, what else? Zhang Cheng knew that he had asked in vain.
Manager: "It was the best holiday of my life, riding and hunting every day, and sometimes bringing my family with me. When you're not working, you can go fishing and drink some wine. β
Zhang Cheng: "It's going to get busy." β
Manager: "That's for the best." My bones are itching. β
The assistant manager shouted to everyone in Chinese, who was not fluent: "We have prepared a bonfire and a big meal for everyone, and the main food is the goats and bison that we beat down during the day, I hope you will like it." β
Everyone drank whiskey on the plane for more than ten hours, even if they wanted to change something, the key was that Xiao Zhang's smiling tiger didn't give a choice at all - everyone also understands that free travel, the guest is convenient, and drinking whiskey is not lacking in calories, but it can't solve the feeling of satiety at all. Fortunately, now the big meal is coming, this is ready, first give the hungry all the way, and then prepare the big meal.
With the help of the two managers, everyone got on the horse one after another, and there was no one who couldn't, Xiaoli said to Zhang Cheng at the hatch of the plane: "Do I want to live on the plane, I think the sofa bed inside is too beautiful." There are computers and TVs in the plane, so don't worry about me, I have a look at the daily necessities are quite complete. β
Zhang Cheng was worried about another thing: "You don't want to lie on the plane, do you?" β
Xiaoli: "I live on the plane and be a full-time flight attendant on this plane, what do you think?" β
What is this called, although it is nothing to find a flight attendant, but I like to live on it after finding a motion sickness. Zhang Cheng: "Whatever you want." β
The group rode to the vicinity of the big villa, where a bonfire had been erected, and a lady was busy cooking things, and the smell of meat came from afar, presumably the manager's wife or somethingβit seemed that she had really played this place as a resort.
The house here was not small, a five-bedroom and five-bathroom mansion, after Zhang Cheng bought it, after renovating the irrigation facilities here, etc., the house here was expanded before filming - as far as the room is concerned, there is no problem at all to live in dozens of people, and it is a single large bedroom with a bathroom, originally this is only suitable for a large family to live, and now there is no problem at all whether it is a reception film crew or a tour group.
Although the rooms are now empty, the courtyard lights and room lights are turned on, and the whole villa complex looks really golden in the evening.
At dinner, Uncle Li took his daughter to pick out the meat in the soup and said to Zhang Cheng, "At first, we thought we would get off the plane in Houston?" When I came out, it was the ranch and I was shocked. I thought Houston was abandoned. β
Zhang Cheng: "It's not a matter of calling a private airport here, just get used to it." This ranch is tens of thousands of acres of land in China, and it is not easy to carve out an airport. β
Uncle Li: "It's strange that you can get used to this, there are two acres of land for one person in my hometown." It's not big enough for your house. β
Zhang Cheng: "The United States is rich in the countryside and poor in the cities, you really want to see the bottom life of the Americans, I will take you to the slums of the big cities when I have time, so that you can see what Little Afghanistan is." β
Uncle Li: "Come on, save it, we didn't come here to suffer twice and suffer twice." β
Halfway through the meal, the assistant manager came up with a guitar out of nowhere. Say to everyone, "Give you a Chinese song that I recently learned." β
After the applause, the deputy manager sang: "The sun is about to set on the lake, Weishan Lake is quiet, pick up my beloved earthen pipa, and sing that moving ballad......"
Everyone was stunned, and their brains were as fast as Zhang Cheng wondering if there was any connection between the two Flying Tigers back then. A person next to Uncle Li pinched his fingers and counted: "This song is older than me." β
If a Chinese person dares to sing an old song in front of Uncle Li with an incomplete voice, Uncle Li will definitely beat him up first, but foreigners should be encouraged to sing Chinese songs. At the end of the song, even Uncle Li began to applaud.
Everyone may not know pop songs, but everyone can sing old songs. Thereupon. The second half of the bonfire party quickly turned into a karaoke contest.
After everyone was exhausted, they found a room to sleep, and the next morning, Zhang Cheng asked the tour group to visit his gun storage room. After opening the door. Rifles hung on the wall. The drawers of the cupboard were open and full of pistols and bullets. This is typically a small arsenal. If it weren't for the lack of heavy and automatic firepower, one company would have been armed with these weapons.
Before the excitement of several bear children picking up the gun was over, Uncle Li kicked their buttocks, and Uncle Li shouted: "The muzzle of the gun is not allowed to be used against people." Do you understand? The big ones are small, don't be ashamed of not having seen the world. β
Then more than twenty people rode horses with two dogs, and the hunting group set off. Uncle Li also asked in advance: "It's not forbidden to hunt here, what's not allowed to fight?" β
Zhang Cheng: "There is nothing on our own turf that cannot be beaten, and even if Obama suddenly breaks in, it will be killed." β
There are too many hunters, a turkey flies out, a random gun passes, and a wild boar runs out, and it is also a random gun, and the results are not nothing, but it is not clear who hit it. In the end, I had to draw playing cards and decide the order of shooting, and the first person to shoot would be postponed to the last one regardless of whether he hit or not, and the second person could shoot.
At noon, we came to a large lake, and the manager introduced to everyone: "There are several seasonal rivers nearby that feed this lake, and I suspect that there are springs in it, because it has never dried up during the dry season in Texas." The entire area of the lake reaches four hectares during the rainy season, but now it is only about half. Although the water quality here can meet the drinking water standard, it is still recommended that everyone drink the water they bring with them as much as possible, and there is always a certain risk in drinking water in the wild. β
Everyone stopped to look at the scenery, a group of deer drinking by the lake farther away, ignoring the hunting group, and now everyone is not more eager to shoot than in the morning, when they first touched the gun, and now everyone has some prey on their horses.
There is a wooden pier by the lake, and after a group of people went up, Uncle Li's daughter Li Ping said: "It's good to fish here, and it would be better to get a motorboat." β
Manager: "I heard that the former owner has a speedboat here, and it seems that he took it with him." β
Zhang Cheng: "Meaningless, I'll go to the city tomorrow to buy one." β
In fact, whether it is online shopping or letting nanomachines make one, it is a faster way, but Zhang Cheng wants to go around the city and find a reason for himself.
On the third day of the arrival of the tour group, Zhang Cheng left the group and went to Houston to play. After the driver drove out, on the way, Zhang Cheng ordered an eight-person speedboat and dozens of pairs of fishing equipment on the Internet to send to the ranch, and then he had a whole day to spare.
After the car arrived in Houston, Zhang Cheng felt that Houston was only at such a level, and it was difficult to see the high-rise buildings in the slightly larger cities in China, and Zhang Cheng estimated that Tieling would not be able to control it.
Seeing a bar on the corner of the road, Zhang Cheng asked the driver to stop the car and prepare to go in for a drink or two.
Is the economic environment still not improving? Zhang Cheng thought so and entered the bar, this bar is inconspicuous from the outside, but the space inside is not small, and there is a large dance floor. But now there is no one, and it may not be time, and the bartenders and bartenders seem to be lazy.
If there is no accident, if a country like the United States wants to survive this economic crisis, it will take more than ten years to greatly shorten this process, unless another industrial revolution breaks out, and the upgrading of all industries is played like the opening of the network computer era.
The current economic policy of the United States is to absorb foreign funds and develop the local economy. Although the results have been slow but have long been proven to be feasible, the American society without external capital injection is destined to become a pool of stagnant water, and the so-called power is destined to be built on foreign economic plunder.
Of course, it would have been better if they could slaughter fat pigs, but since the Plaza Accord, Japan's economy has maintained negative growth for decades, and South Korea and the Philippines, the US economic colonies that have just emerged from the economic crisis in Southeast Asia, have been knocked down head-on by the world-class subprime mortgage storm -- this time it will not help the American masters at all.
After Zhang Cheng sat down at the bar, he said, "Have a beer to quench your thirst." β
After a glass of beer, Zhang Cheng asked: "Have another drink, the location and environment here are good, and the decoration is also very new, why do you want to redeem it?" β
The bartender filled Zhang Cheng with beer again: "What else can it be?" Loss. Last month, the boss lost a few hundred dollars. I lost $2,000 last month. After taking over from this boss, he has lost tens of thousands of yuan. If you can't find a seller this month, the boss will go bankrupt. β
Zhang Cheng drank the second beer and asked, "How much?" β
Bartender: "Three dollars and twenty cents, including tax." β
Zhang Cheng calculated, a glass of beer was a little more than a dollar. Even if it is open to people to drink for free. How much can it cost? It should not be able to drink the billionaire yourself. Zhang Cheng took out a hundred-yuan bill from his wallet and slapped it on the table: "Don't look for it, where is your boss?" β
The bartender took a huge tip and said, "Office on the second floor." β
Following the direction of the bartender's guidance, Zhang Cheng came to the manager's room on the second floor. The boss was a young man, and Zhang Cheng could see that this person should be around thirty years old, Mexican-Americanβit's strange that you can't meet Mexican-Americans in Texas.
After knocking on the door and entering, Zhang Cheng went straight in: "I want to redeem this bar." β
Seeing the foreign receiver Lao Mo, he was excited, took the calculator, and said while calculating: "There is still five and a half months' rent here, as well as a deposit of 3,000 yuan a quarter, as well as decoration, inventory of wine, etc." That's a total of $45,000. β
Zhang Cheng: "No problem, I want to reopen as much as possible." β
Lao Mo: "I'll call the lawyer." Rest assured, soon. β
Ten minutes later, the lawyer arrived, Zhang Cheng and Lao Mo signed the transfer agreement, and after paying the check, the ownership of the bar became Zhang Cheng's. In fact, Zhang Cheng is also planning to buy the real estate of the bar and buy another brewery in Texas, but these things are not in a hurry, and now the urgent thing is to reopen.
Zhang Cheng didn't plan to change the decoration and brand, and all the personnel were retained, Zhang Cheng glanced at the list of drinks in stock, and there were still hundreds of gallons of various beers, but this was not enough in Zhang Cheng's plan at all.
I called the brewery and sent a cart of beer to KuΓ i, then changed the sign of the bar to a larger one in the window, which said in English and Spanish that women were free to drink beer. Then Zhang Cheng told the doorman: "Women can enter casually, and men will have to pay 100 yuan as a ticket to enter the door." β
I am afraid that only Chinese can realize the popularity and benefits brought by 'free', and you don't see online games under the guise of free, but in fact, you can't play at all without money, even if you barely play, it is also a role to accompany the prince to study. It is said that the legendary game can not handle the real kryptonite tyrants.
The ticket is only 100 yuan, and it is estimated that only Kaizi will come in, but thinking about so many girls in it, I am afraid that there will be no Kaizi to pay? The ladies drank this little beer money, and it is estimated that the tickets for Kaizi will be earned. Even if he can't earn it back, Zhang Cheng is not short of this money.
After doing this, Zhang Cheng returned to the manager's office and squinted for a while, waiting for the faint sound of music outside to wake Zhang Cheng up, and after Zhang Cheng opened the door, the louder music entered his ears. Standing on the stairs on the second floor, Zhang Cheng looked down and saw that there were already more than 100 chicks on the dance floor.
The bar is almost full, and many girls have taken a beer from the bar to find a place to drink. Bartenders and bartenders are even more busy. There are also discordant places, although most of them are chicks, but it is obvious that Zhang Cheng, a character at the level of aunts and aunts, also saw seven or eight at a glance.
But it's still less than Kaizi, Zhang Cheng swept over like this, and he has seen at least ten Kaizi, think about it from another angle, maybe Kaizi likes aunts and aunts?
Zhang Cheng closed the office door, went downstairs and went directly to the bar, and asked the bartender, "How is it?" β
Bartender: "Great, boss, I'm so busy serving wine to my guests that I'm cramping." I used to doze off at this time. β
Zhang Cheng: "If you're too busy, I'll hire someone to help you." β
The bartender immediately said, "No need to hire someone, boss, just give me a salary increase with the money used to hire people." β
Zhang Cheng: "I'll think about it." β
Zhang Cheng first called the driver outside, and asked him to pick up Xiaoli, who lived in the ranch plane, to come here - that plane was actually Zhang Cheng's nanospaceship, how could he let miscellaneous people live for a long time.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Cheng helped the bartender renovate the bar, turning a bar counter into a place to pick up beers, and all the bartender had to do was to let the younger brother keep replenishing the wine and recycle the garbage bags containing empty wine bottles. (To be continued......)
