Chapter 65: Whales Are Not Fishes
"I don't have a good opinion, but I met two men downstairs just now and heard some bad news about Bang Bang Club. ”
"I hope Boss Whale can answer my questions for me, so that I can feel more at ease and wholeheartedly boxing in your club, what do you think?"
"Of course, you can ask any questions you have, and I don't want to let one or two stinky fish and rotten shrimp affect the impression of Bang Bang Club in your mind. ”
Sharin raised reasonable doubts with a smile on his face, and the whale reciprocated with a smile, and men with different ghosts can always coincide when it comes to such things as playing on the scene.
"May I ask Boss Whale, I heard that Bangbang Club is saddled with a high amount of loans, and it is about to repay the bank loan, is this true?"
Shalin went straight to the point, he tried to see any clues from the whale's polite face, but the whale's gaze did not waver, and even Shalin was willing to believe that the Silly Fish Club was spreading rumors because of the calmness on his face.
However, the whale did not deny it, but said it lightly.
"Bang Bang Club does owe money to the bank, but the loan is not due to the club's poor management, but because I was a poor boy when I started the club ten years ago, so I had to borrow money from the bank to start my business. ”
"But we're going to pay off the loan soon, it's the last year, and I'll use the money to expand the club. ”
Boss Whale calmly brewed a cup of coffee and pulled one out of the humidor.
And the story of a man in his early twenties who had nothing, who started from scratch with his own ability and ran such a big kickboxing club, sounds really positive.
If it is just a hot-blooded young man who is full of enthusiasm and hopes to get ahead through a boxing match as soon as possible, hearing this should have a kind of admiration or dazzle for the whale boss, and a natural disgust for the Silly Fish Club.
Fortunately, Sarin is not such a secondary 2 teenager, he has been away from the secondary school campus for many years.
"Congratulations, Boss Whale. ”
"But I still want to confirm first, in addition to the rivalry between the Bang Bang Club and the Silly Fish Club, are there any other historical feuds?"
"The people in that club seem to be named after fish, and you're called a whale. ”
"Whales are not fish. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, of course whales aren't fish, whales are mammals, but if there's any connection between the Silly Fish Club and you, outsiders like me can't really say......"
"And I've heard that the treatment at the Silly Fish Club seems to be much better than the Bang Bang Club, I don't know if what they say is true......"
Shalin stopped talking, acting like a low-EQ man who knew he shouldn't bring up these topics, but preferred to mention them.
When Boss Whale asked Shalin if there was any connection between him and the Silly Fish Club, the light in his eyes finally unconsciously darkened, and Shalin watched with interest as his face turned from sunny to cloudy, excited that he had finally asked the right question.
But soon, the whale regained his emotional state, laughing and sighing.
"Alas, the things between me and the Silly Fish Club are all old things, so don't mention it. ”
"But if you say that the treatment of the Silly Fish Club is better than our Bang Bang Club, I absolutely disagree, there is no right to speak without investigation, and this treatment issue is related to your own strength. ”
"If you're strong enough, there's no club going to treat this kind of fighter badly, right?"
The whale leaned back on the soft and comfortable leather sofa, pinched the cigar with two fingers, and gave the bosses' favorite panacea answer.
But Shalin still noticed that when the man mentioned the reward, he smoked the cigar harder, and his eyes moved slightly to the right, which made Shalin preliminarily conclude that this man was indeed not a generous boss.
So whether he can get more in Bangbang Club, or can he rise faster in other places, has become a question that Sarin began to think about.
Seeing that Shalin was still hesitating about something, the whale suddenly picked up his phone and looked at it.
"Oh, Poison Gas, the boxing match I arranged for you is about to begin. ”
"Winning three millimeters and Woody is not a record to brag about, there is no such thing as a free lunch, especially in this city of people, if you still have any doubts, why don't you prove your worth to me first. ”
Shalin did have some problems, but he knew that Whale was right, he had to prove his strength and negotiate terms with this cunning man.
He nodded, and Boss Whale immediately ordered Woody:
"Take Mr. Poison Gas to the venue for the last game of the night. ”
"By the way, don't let Rose clean up the poison gas first, his image really can't meet the needs of the audience, at least find a way to cover his face, if it doesn't work, find some colored clay to smear it. ”
The whale quickly explained the precautions to Woody, and in the process he remembered something, and shouted at him before Woody led Shalin away:
"The name Poison Gas doesn't quite look like a boxer's name, let Rose give him a nice code name, it sounds like it can make people feel the power directly!"
"Got it, boss!"
Woody replied crisply, but the corners of Shalin's eyes suddenly twitched twice, and the first good impression he had of Boss Whale was all gone just when he thought he needed to cover his face to meet the audience's needs......
And outside the Bang Bang Club, the two men who were broken by Rose and got dirty water have not completely left the alley.
The task of the two of them tonight is to stay around the Bang Bang Club, spreading negative news to the fighters recruited by the Bang Bang Club at any time, so that they will gradually lose confidence in the Bang Bang Club and have a sense of distrust.
So before the time came for the club to end, they couldn't go back directly, so they changed to a place where they could shelter from the rain and continue to play handheld games.
Tonight's bad city was the same as ever, immersed in warm music and psychedelic colors, mosquito-eating fish playing games, and hearing the shouts of the audience from time to time from the windowed and ventilated venue, and suddenly feeling a little sleepy.
He turned off the console, leaned back in his chair, sighed, and complained.
"Huang Mao, you said that we are bad guys here every day, and we have to be drenched in acid rain, when will our work end!"
"It's almost over, it's almost over, didn't the boss of the Sharks say that as long as Bang Bang Club can't find boxers who can advance to Group S within three months, then they will definitely be swallowed up by us. ”
"Let's endure it for a while, the light is always after the storm. ”
Hearing the mosquito-eating fish's complaints, the Ang Thorn Fish is still engrossed in controlling the characters in the game console, and keeps pressing AAAAAAAA to attack.
The purple-haired little girl character on the screen was quickly taken away by a combination of punches, kneeling on the ground and crying.
