Chapter 1598: 1598. Golf
Everyone was in an uproar, and Anderson shouted: "It's impossible, just try it."
Li Du looked at him contemptuously and said, "Why should I say that? Seriously, buddy, I find it hard to believe that you are the boss of a company. You really lack business literacy."
Anderson said forcefully: "Don't talk about these useless things. I bet you are talking nonsense. If so, I would say that I actually found a job opportunity with an annual salary of one million after I came here."
Li Du said: "It's useless for you to provoke me like this, but I'm interested in what you said, you said you want to bet, right? Okay, let's have a bet, how?"
Hearing about the bet, George Anthony quickly and quietly tugged Anderson's clothes, signaling him not to bet with Li Du.
In order to deal with Li Du, he had spent a lot of time researching this person, and one of his conclusions was: don't bet with this guy.
According to the information he collected, Li Du has never lost a bet since his debut. In Flagstaff City, he is also nicknamed 'Gao Jin'. It is said that this Gao Jin is the Eastern God of Gamblers.
But in order to save Anderson's face, he pulled the clothes very slightly, and Anderson didn't feel it.
Even if you feel it, Anderson's temper will not stop.
He stared at Li Du and said, "What bet?"
Bell wanted to intervene to ease the relationship between the two parties, but Joel stopped him and said with a smile: "It's not interesting to just play ball, let's make a bet and see how they bet."
Li Du said: "I'll tell you a way to make money. As long as you work hard, you can earn at least 100,000 yuan a year. If I can't tell you, I lose, and if I tell you, you lose."
"Of course," he added after a pause, "If you can still name a business opportunity that can earn millions a year and is executable, then I lose, how about it?"
The conditions were fair, and Anderson didn't immediately agree, but instead became vigilant.
He can become the boss of a company, so he has some skills. He realizes that things are going badly and may be beyond his control.
So, he first asked cautiously: "What about the bet?"
Li Du said: "Drive as you like, no matter how much money you have."
Bell couldn't bear it anymore, and interjected: "Listen to me, you two, this is not a casino, and we're not here to gamble, so if money is involved, forget it."
Capoli nodded and said, "Yes, that would be no fun. Gambling is the most boring activity in the world."
Li Du said: "Well, if I lose, I will admit that I am a bastard who made some money by luck. If you lose, you have to admit that you are a rude, stupid troublemaker! Whoever loses will go to the road outside the club and shout Say these words and shout three times, dare you?"
After hearing this, Anderson relaxed. This bet is nothing, and losing it is nothing more than losing face.
This golf course is located in the outskirts, and the road in front of the club is usually deserted. Even if you stand at the door and shout such words, people outside will not be able to hear them.
In Anderson's view, this bet is nothing more than a fight between the two parties. No matter who loses, the loss is not big.
So he thought about it quickly, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, tell me."
Li Du said: "I would like to add one more thing, the two of us are gamblers, we must have a notary. I propose that Mr. Capoli, Mr. Joel and Chris act as the notary."
Anderson nodded again: "Okay."
Li Du beckoned the two caddies over and asked, "Are you here for a work-study program?"
The caddy found out that they had conflicts, and they were far away from them. The most important experience the two of them had accumulated working on the golf course was: the gods fight, and the little ghosts stand aside.
They know that the people who come to such a golf course for consumption are rich people. As small wage earners, they can't afford to offend any of them, so they must not be involved in the conflicts of these people.
After being called over by Li Du, the two caddies all looked terrified, and no one dared to speak.
Bell knew what was going on, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, children, this gentleman just wants to chat with you, and he won't hurt you."
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy mustered up his courage and said to Li Du: "Yes, I came here to make money to support my family. My mother is sick."
Another teenager whispered: "I want to buy an IPAD and football equipment. My parents don't have any extra money for me. I have to earn it myself."
Li Du said: "Okay, then you should know the price of golf balls as caddies here, how much is the price?"
The tall boy said, "From five dollars to one hundred dollars, do you want to buy golf balls, sir?"
Li Du shook his head and said, "Then you should know that not all the golf balls people use are new, some are bought from thrift stores, right?"
The boy said, "Yes, second-hand golf balls are cheap, some only cost one dollar."
Li Du pointed to the small lake and said, "There are a lot of dollars under this lake. If you go to get a diving license and rent a diving suit, you can earn thousands of dollars a day."
Having said that, he turned his head and said to Brother Wolf, "There are a lot of golf balls down there, go and get some up."
Brother Wolf didn't care about the cold weather in Seattle. He heard Li Du order him to take off his clothes without saying a word, then jumped into the water and followed his instructions for a snorkel.
Soon, Brother Wolf surfaced, he threw a few balls up, then dived down again, repeated several times, more than 20 golf balls appeared on the grass.
Li Du beckoned, Brother Lang went ashore.
He knelt down to pick up a golf ball. Algae grew in the small hole on it, which looked dirty, but he wiped it gently with a paper towel, and the algae fell off, revealing the snow-white ball.
The golf ball is mainly composed of two parts. The inner core is solid rubber material, and the outer skin is synthetic resin material. This synthetic resin material is very smooth and hard. Even if there is oil stain on it, it can be easily removed.
The golf balls of big brands are more expensive, because their production process is quite complicated. As we all know, the general rubber products are relatively soft, and the hardness of the golf core is above 100 degrees Shore hardness, that is, it is basically as hard as the outer skin material. .
To make rubber have the hardness of plastic and the elasticity of rubber, and require a very high impact resistance without cracking, this requires an extraordinary process.
In addition to the internal rubber and external resin, each golf ball also needs to add various materials, ranging from a dozen to more than 20 types!
Li Du looked at the young man, pointed to the new and smooth golf balls on the ground and said, "I'll sell you these balls for only ten yuan. Do you want to buy them?"
The two teenagers nodded quickly: "Buy, buy, buy." "You can earn more than ten yuan if you sell it to a grocery store."
Li Du said: "Look, if you catch balls by yourself after you learn how to dive, is it okay to catch a thousand balls a day? This lake is enough for you to fish for ten days. Most golf courses have lakes and rivers. You go to catch them one by one. , How many golf courses in the United States and even the world? How much money do you think you can make?"
