Chapter 1596: 1596. Are You Worthy?
Li Du has never been in contact with the sport of golf, nor can he appreciate its charm.
But he knew that this was a luxury sport and the most common sport in the upper class society, so he followed behind the magician and worked hard to learn.
He understood what Bell meant. Bell was a good old man. His purpose of inviting himself and Anthony and his son today should be to ease their conflicts and hope that they can turn enemies into friends.
But he was about to be disappointed, it was impossible for Li Du to become friends with Anthony and his son.
However, he respects Bell and will not make it difficult for Bell. Although he cannot be friends with Anthony and his son, he will not provoke them and cause conflicts.
In this way, he has been playing golf with a few people. He can't get involved in this sport, so he just learns from the side.
There is a small lake next to the golf course, and Anderson Joel is not very good at the sport, but he is quite outgoing and takes the initiative to join the game.
There was a water obstacle event in the competition, and the drainage of the small lake formed a water obstacle on the field. When it was Joel's turn to hit the ball, he was a little nervous, and the swing force was too strong, and he knocked the golf ball into the lake abruptly.
There was a burst of laughter, and Joel looked at the lake sadly while carrying the golf ball, then turned around and asked, "Damn it, why am I so strong? Let's replace the ball, this is a lost ball, right? "
"Do you still have questions?" Capoli laughed, "Of course it's a conceded goal."
Li Du thought they were still looking for the ball, so he let the space-time flying insects out to see where the ball fell.
As a result, the little flying insects entered the lake and saw that there were many golf balls densely scattered on the bottom of the lake. Some balls fell into the water not long ago, and they remained snow-white.
The ball that Joel just flew was at the bottom of the lake, but of course they couldn't catch it again. A caddy immediately sent a new ball, and Capoli put it away and started to swing the club.
The game was still going on, Joel didn't play well, and gradually lost interest, he shook his head and quit the game, handed the cue to Bell, and let Bell take his place.
He walked up to Li Du, showed a self-deprecating smile and said, "God, this thing is really difficult to play."
Li Du looked at his body shape and said, "Yes, it's really difficult, much harder than football and basketball."
Upon hearing his words, Joulton's eyes lit up: "Haha, buddy, you are absolutely right, football and basketball have the charm of sports. Alas, I don't understand why we always play golf together."
Li Du said this because he judged from Joel's body shape.
Joel was a muscular man in his thirties, with sunburnt skin that suggested he loved the outdoors, and the calloused palms that characterize basketball aficionados.
As for football? There is no man who is a little stronger in the United States who does not like this sport. Talking about rugby with them will definitely find a common topic.
Li Du is more familiar with basketball, especially he also knows a lot of NBA stars, and he will receive some guest tickets every season in the past two years, allowing him to watch more games.
He shifted the topic to basketball, and Joel enthusiastically participated in it. After he showed his relationship with Kobe, LeBron James, Steve Nash and other stars, Joel's emotions became more frenzied. .
"I like Kobe. If you are familiar with me, you will know that there are some shadows of him in me. For example, we are all paranoid, and we are all killers." Joel said happily.
"Seriously, I have a nickname in the industry called the e-commerce Mamba, haha, you know, Kobe is the Black Mamba, so I accepted the nickname..."
Li Du laughed and said, "That's a coincidence. My nickname in our industry has something to do with Black Mamba."
"What's the matter?" Joel asked with interest.
Li Du said: "Uh, it's a black mamba milk stick."
Black mamba milk stick is a kind of dairy product, because it is relatively soft, it will look like a snake when it is made into a strip, and some merchants will paint patterns of various colors on it for embellishment, if painted black The pattern is called the black mamba milk stick.
Hearing this, Joel was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Haha, you humorous bastard, it would be great if I could become as humorous as you sometime."
"You are wrong, Anderson," Coster, who was walking behind, interjected, "Mr. Li is teasing you, his nickname is indeed related to the Black Mamba, but it is not the Black Mamba milk stick, but the man-eating python ,Right?"
Joel looked at Li Du, he felt Kelly Anderson's hostility towards Li Du, as a smart person, he knew that it was inconvenient for him to speak at this time.
Li Du looked coldly at Coster and Anthony and his son beside him, and said, "This is the first time I hear this name, Mr. Anthony, have you heard of it before?"
George Anthony said slowly: "Boss Li, you know, my information is not accurate. For example, I heard that you have left the warehouse auction industry, and I heard that you have entered other industries, such as bidding real estate or jewelry industry , but that doesn't seem to be the case."
Kelly Anderson said with a smile: "Have you been beaten back? It is not easy to make a living across borders. Every industry has its own rules. It is absolutely impossible for the whole industry to take it all."
Anthony and his son laughed immediately.
Li Du felt that this guy was mentally retarded. From the beginning of the meeting, he provoked himself, but he had never provoked him. Obviously, the other party came directly at him.
Seeing the intimacy between him and Anthony and his son, he could imagine that the relationship between the two parties is very close, and Anderson should do this to help Anthony and his son get ahead.
But this kind of provocative way is too blunt, which makes Li Du wonder how his position as the boss has been stabilized, and how can he start a company with just this emotional intelligence?
There were not many people at the party, and when other people heard Anderson's words, Bell frowned and said, "Hey, Kelly, you've gone too far joking. If you feel that you are full of energy and have nowhere to vent, you might as well come over and play."
Anderson smiled and said: "It's okay, Chris, I am communicating with Mr. Li. You know, some friends have a unique way of communicating with each other."
Li Du asked: "Wait, between some friends? You say we are friends?"
Anderson shrugged: "Yes, of course we are friends..."
Li Du shook his head: "Are you kidding me, do you deserve it?"
What he said was short and cruel. Anderson couldn't believe it when he heard him say that, and subconsciously asked, "Did I hear wrong? What did you say?"
Li Du said: "What I say is not important, your health is the most important, Mr. Anderson, is there something wrong with your ears? It just so happens that I know a witch doctor from an Indian tribe in the Blue Ridge. He is very good at treating venereal diseases and ear diseases. Shall I introduce you?"
