245, life is only 18 holes
If Guo Xiaosheng had not allowed Xiong Baizhou to live in the villa at the beginning, Xiong Baizhou should be actively contacting Deng Lijun's family and Hong Kong fans, laying the foundation for the construction of Zhoumei Electrical Appliances Branch and Aisheng Electronics Branch from another perspective.
The procedure may be like this. While binding the news of Deng Lijun's sudden death, it expands its popularity in Hong Kong and promotes Zhou Mei Electric's brand image; while using the social resources Xiong Baizhou himself has in Guangdong City to cooperate with celebrities at the middle and upper levels of Hong Kong.
However, when Guo Xiaosheng spoke, the situation was different.
What is Guo Xiaosheng's identity? The chairman of Hengji Real Estate is also behind Jiuli Industry and the entire Guo clan. Since he has kept Xiong Baizhou at home, the circle Xiong Baizhou has come into contact with is different.
So Xiong Baizhou immediately adjusted the established strategy, and has been focusing on observation in the past two days, without any substantial action.
It was not until this morning that Guo Xiaosheng invited Xiong Baizhou to play golf together that Xiong Baizhou was truly "moving".
King Zhuang of Chu was lazy for three years without moving, but after a sound, he stirred up the wind and clouds and won the Central Plains.
Xiong Baizhou's movement was probably because he wanted to reach out and touch this world-famous Oriental Pearl.
······
Golf originated in Scotland. Its essence is a sport that combines the fun of nature, physical exercise and games. It requires the ball to be hit into 18 round holes on the court, and sometimes 9 holes.
This exercise not only requires physical energy, but also requires extremely high concentration.
In fact, until the 1920s, golf was a very niche sports method in mainland China, and in the 1990s, there was not even a course with international professional standards. The reason for the low popularity rate was that the market did not support it, and the other was that the culture was not accepted.
In short, if Xiong Baizhou is allowed to fairly evaluate golf:
From the perspective of sports, he will feel that this is a movement that is free from the masses, restricted by the environment, easy to learn but difficult to be refined;
However, starting from the purpose of commercial social engagements, this is an extremely suitable social means, including soft lawns, fresh air, open vision, and pool landscape. The scenery is pleasant and makes people feel comfortable.
Even if the business fails, neither party will be too upset.
Over time, golf has become one of the choices for business negotiations. You don’t have to sweat too much or drink too much wine. You can talk about business while enjoying nature, and you are elegant and gentlemanly.
Hong Kong has been instilled with almost 100 years of Western education. The sport of golf is loved by Hong Kong entrepreneurs. There are naturally golf courses built according to regular standards near wealthy areas such as Repulse Bay.
Xiong Baizhou also played a lot in his previous life, and his skills were at the forefront and he was not fully proficient. He rarely played Eagle, but birdie could still achieve it.
Society is constantly developing, and golf is also moving further and further on the road of more refined and professionalization. Therefore, Xiong Baizhou's level is more common in mainland golf courses 20 years later, but at this time, Hong Kong was already considered a top expert.
“Hong Kong Golf Course”
Guo Xiaosheng walked straight into the stadium and felt very good. People greeted him along the way, and he nodded with a smile. Others would notice that Xiong Baizhou was slightly behind, with deep eyes and handsome face.
Guo Xiaosheng's golf bag was naturally held by a bodyguard, but Xiong Baizhou smiled and refused others' desire to help. The only thing left was only about 30 pounds. Xiong Baizhou easily picked it up and was with Guo Xiaosheng in a leisurely manner.
"Azhou won't have to take it myself next time. You have to play with me. You have to play basketball with me. You are still playing like this even if you don't have the strength to do it?"
Guo Xiaosheng said this, but his eyes were full of appreciation. Xiong Baizhou was young and calm and energetic, but he still did not arrogant or impatient when he created such a huge career from scratch.
Although carrying a bag is small and cannot be used as a criterion for a person's morality, it can be used as a supplementary point to further improve Xiong Baizhou's good image.
"Dr. Guo, come and have a fight again?" Just as I put down my bag under the parasol, a gentle middle-aged man in his forties and eyes came to say hello.
"A Zhong, you're here so early." Guo Xiaosheng responded with a smile.
The middle-aged man glanced at Xiong Baizhou and didn't ask much. He just came over and said hello to Guo Xiaosheng politely.
Guo Xiaosheng's location is in the southeast corner of the stadium. In just a few minutes, many people came over to say hello, including corporate bosses, children from large families, and members of the Legislative Council.
Sometimes when encountering similar status, Guo Xiaosheng would chat for a few words and the atmosphere was relaxed and free.
"This young man is very energetic. He can't be Guo Dong's son-in-law."
Guo Xiaosheng's family has two golden flowers. I don't know how many people want to make a decision in Hong Kong, but Guo Xiaosheng's mouth has always been tight. Someone saw that Xiong Baizhou was obviously not a bodyguard or a driver, so he joked.
"Ah, then what do you think of him?" Guo Xiaosheng actually asked with a smile.
When others heard this, they were indeed surprised and looked at Xiong Baizhou seriously: "Young boy is doing things?"
Before Xiong Baizhou could answer, Guo Xiaosheng smiled and drove the person away: "You should take it seriously when talking and laughing, and you have no humor at all, so you're going to have a fight."
Xiong Baizhou smiled in his heart, thinking that Guo Zixian's previous "one tension and one relaxation" interaction strategies were just learned from Guo Xiaosheng.
Before the official kickoff, everyone would try to hit a few shots on the tee. One is to find the feel, and the other is to be familiar with the environment. After Guo Xiaosheng scored a few beautiful high balls, he came to greet Xiong Baizhou:
"Azhou, come and warm up your hands."
Since this kind of test ball is not a formal kickoff, few people will pay attention to it, but as soon as Xiong Baizhou walked to the tee, he obviously felt that many eyes were watching around him.
It seems that Guo Xiaosheng heard the words "joking" just now, but many people who are interested.
Guo Xiaosheng also noticed this situation and frowned and walked over: "Azhou, this is just a training wave to find the touch, don't be too stressed."
Guo Xiaosheng came to help him understand. He knew that the mainland was unfamiliar with golf, and was a little worried that Xiong Baizhou had never played much, so he was embarrassed by everyone's eyes.
Xiong Baizhou smiled and said, "I know, Mr. Guo."
After saying that, Xiong Baizhou put on white gloves, walked to the tee with ease, picked up a ball and held it in the palm of his hand, and after putting it on the pedestal, fortunately, he smiled and greeted the surrounding eyes.
After the preparation work is completed, Xiong Baizhou holds the pole with both hands, the little finger of his right hand is in the gap between his left finger and middle finger, and the big thumb of his left hand is steadily hidden in the nest under the thumb of his right palm. This posture is the most standard and best to exert force.
Some people already think that this young guy knows some tricks.
Then, Xiong Baizhou's right foot was squarely against a line parallel to the trajectory in the hypothesis at 90°, his feet were shoulder-width apart, his arms and joints were as close as possible to the body, his feet were pointed inward, and the club in his hand slowly waved, staring at the front with his eyes tightly.
At this time, even Guo Xiaosheng felt that this shot must be a perfect serve.
But just as everyone was expecting it, Xiong Baizhou suddenly put down the club: "Well, my neck is too tight."
In front of everyone, Xiong Baizhou put down his swing and unbuttoned the buttons on the collar of the polo shirt.
"pick!"
I waited for a long time and this was the action. If these people hadn't all held their own identities, they would have cursed, and some even turned around and left.
Guo Xiaosheng smiled in his heart. Xiong Baizhou's work is indeed in line with his taste.
After Xiong Baizhou unbuttoned the buttons, he walked to the tee again with a smile, but this time his face turned solemn, staring at the flag hole in front of him to estimate the distance, relaxing his arms, maintaining a wide and straight swing arc, rotating his shoulders, and exerting force at the same time.
With a "dou" sound, the golf ball made a muffled sound like a cannonball coming out of the barrel, bringing a high arc in the sky and flying towards the distance.
It doesn't have to look at the accuracy, just looking at the strength and arc of the ball are enough to stop the person who is just about to leave.
Xiong Baizhou smiled with a smile, with his left hand on the pole, stared at the rising golf ball, took out a cigarette from his pants pocket and gently lit it.
"Life is only 18 holes. I want to test me, but the hole is not deep enough."
Xiong Baizhou exhaled a sip of green smoke gently.
At this time, the ball begins to fall slowly, then rolls and stops.
Everyone on the tee looked at each other, only the caddie called loudly in the distance:
“Eagle!”
"He hit eagle!!!"
eagle, two shots less than the par.
