Chapter 151: Hall's Name
It rarely rains in Los Angeles, so every rainy weather broadcast is as exaggerated as it can be, as if a flood is coming.
The people also lived up to it, they didn't drive when it rained, and responded to the weather broadcast with a large area of traffic paralysis.
Coupled with the fact that it coincided with the Halloween parade, Hall and Connery were stuck in traffic for nearly a long time before they reached the racecourse.
Huge ring stands shrouded in horses, spectators screamed wildly on the track, and the spectators shouted wildly.
Fortunately, the tickets were booked by phone in advance, and the two entered from the fast lane, and hurriedly sat down in the position before they could figure out the situation and integrate into the excited environment, and the service staff handed over a booklet for betting on horses.
"How do we bet, dear?"
Connelly looked at the paper booklet and wrote and drew on it, looking very professional.
The racecourse is large enough to support four races at the same time, with performances between each race for half an hour. Macho and hot girls fly together with Nako in their muscles, stimulating the adrenal glands of the audience to the maximum.
Hall held up his binoculars and tried to find a champion racehorse, only to be dazzled by the colorful high-intensity lights and a middle-aged white man next to him slapping the railing of the stands and screaming.
"Hey, I said sir, your elbow is going to poke me in the eye." He couldn't help but remind impatiently.
The middle-aged white man glanced back, "Boy, all you need is a bow tie to go to the eighteen-year-old coming-of-age party." ”
"I ......"
Hall was about to reply, when he saw the fluffy and messy golden retriever on the top of the other party's head, and suddenly fell on the spot.
"Okay, kid, I'll invite you to have a beer, sit there quietly and watch the game, don't disturb me, how about we settle it."
The middle-aged white man did not wait for a response, and instructed his follower behind him, "Give this underage couple two beers, and teach them how to bet by the way." ”
"Old thing, didn't your family teach you to remember to fasten your pants when you go out?! We can buy our own wine! Connery snapped up from his seat and retorted sharply.
Before the lace media broke the news that she slept with a underage British son, it was widely spread, and the American sweetheart character was ruined, and no one paid attention to her, in fact, she was just an adult!
So I was especially angry when I heard the word underage.
Hall came back to his senses and took her hand as a sign of comfort, and grabbed the conversation to confirm, "Donald, are you Mr. Donald?" ”
A few minutes later, in a separate viewing box.
The middle-aged white man enthusiastically introduced: "In fact, betting on horses is very simple, there are two ways to play, either buy the champion; Either buy the ranking, and the odds of buying the ranking are lower...... You guys try a game first, come on, Hugo, you're welcome, if you lose, it's mine. ”
He looked at Hall as if he were looking at some cherished animal.
Connery couldn't help but get goosebumps, and he was very suspicious that the thing in front of him was an old glass.
"I'm sorry, we're in a hurry and look embarrassed."
Hall avoided the weight, sat comfortably on the soft sofa, drank a sip of ice water, and wiped the fine sweat on his face.
Perhaps in order to let the horses see the track clearly and not hit the wall, the racecourse is particularly bright as daytime, and the temperature of the front row of the stands soars, which is more powerful than the bath bomb.
"I would say it's no wonder the media would praise you as the most "up to standard" British aristocrat. ”
Donald pouted and said:
"I have two casinos in Las Vegas and I have a stake in this racetrack, but I never use the privilege of hiding in a VIP box. Gambling requires passion, standing at the front of the crowd and shouting and betting is the highest level of enjoyment, no one cares if you are embarrassed or not, to hell with your appearance. ”
Hall couldn't help but smile, this future ruler, nicknamed "Twitter Governance", is really passionate and a good businessman.
"It doesn't look like you understand what I'm saying, you haven't been involved in a gambling game, have you? Then I think it's worth it for you, it's only a four-hour drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and if you're too slow, I can have my casino send a helicopter to pick you up. "Donald is a big sell.
Hall shrugged in regret: "Thank you for your enthusiasm, it's a pity that I am busy with work on this business trip and have no time to plan other trips." ”
"Work? Then you should go to Las Vegas, young man, as a senior, I have an obligation to remind you that many people do not go to casinos for entertainment. Jordan, the sports flyer, Spielberg, the big director of the entertainment industry, Bill Gates of the business world, and countless elites from all walks of life have VIP seats in Las Vegas. ”
Donald waved his arms again and spitted in the air of a general election candidate's speech.
Hall listened silently and waited for him to have enough of performing before he responded succinctly: "For me, interpersonal relationships will come to the door." ”
“…… Just walk into my casino and get $200,000 in chips for free. I think even if you're not interested in gambling, you can make your girlfriend smile by exchanging your chips for a sparkling diamond necklace and giving it to Miss Jennifer. ”
Donald saw that it was useless to talk about it, so he had to be practical.
"The Screen Actors Guild is going to have a small salon tomorrow and I'm going to be the keynote speaker. They made $50,000 from selling tickets to the salon, and it was said that the place standing next to me for a group photo was sold for $5,000, which I asked to donate to the affected community in Jennifer's name. ”
Hall put his arm around Connery's shoulder, "I don't think there's a more sparkling diamond necklace in the world, my dear, what do you think?" ”
"Honey, you're a superstar."
Connelly's little face was slightly red, and despite the fact that Donald was half angry on the side, he leaned over and offered a fragrant kiss to his boyfriend.
"Anyway, Mr. Donald, it's a pleasure to meet you today. Thank you for telling me that my reputation has become financially valuable. While I don't know exactly how much it's worth, the name 'Hall' is anything but cheap. ”
Hall's heartfelt thanks were genuine.
Since getting off the plane on this trip to Los Angeles, it has become clear that it is much more convenient for him to do things in vain.
The wine cabinet in his room was filled with a lot of good wine, furnished in the Victorian style of England, and even a few antique paintings.
The manager of the hotel frankly told him that a wealthy Latin American man booked this room for him at a high price, and moved in immediately after he checked out and did not need to be cleaned.
This reminded Hall of the fact that the location next to Marilyn Monroe's grave was auctioned off for millions of dollars......
The follow-up invitation from the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, as well as Donald, who is messing in at the moment, are all reminding him that he has unwittingly reached the level of exchanging reputation for money.
Hall was both happy and stressed.
His reputation came from inheritance, and then he was lucky enough to make a name for himself in the merger of the century, and the media coverage of him was no longer before the family was listed in the personal introduction.
This is very proud for the seven generations of nobles, some rich children are extremely poor and cannot break through the shroud of family honor in their lives, so that personal introductions appear before the family.
However, if he wants to wear a crown, he must bear the weight, and when he is enough to represent the family, he has to think about what to give to the family's reputation.
Hall's name cannot be abused, and Helena cares about it......
