1344 [Monopoly]
Just as the summer was busy writing the script of "Uncle Zombie", the manager of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Huihua Restaurant was also reporting to the board of directors what happened last night.
He originally wanted to suppress this matter, but in the end he still couldn't suppress it and was stabbed out, so he had to take it all now.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club is a club-like organization and is run by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is a director of twelve social talents, all of which are obligatory and do not withdraw any remuneration.
But then again, Hong Kong Horse will have 24,000 members, either high-ranking officials or famous people. In short, no one is an ordinary person.
Even if you don’t pay any compensation, your connections alone are already comparable to huge wealth. Therefore, the title of director of the Jockey Club is a popular product, and it is more valuable than the title of jazz awarded by the British Empire.
"The Feng family, Jin family, and Zhang family are incompetent in educating their children. The racist son has violated the law. Doing such a scandal in a restaurant under our Jockey Club is simply a destruction of the reputation of our Jockey Club. I propose to cancel the membership of the three of them." Director Guo Daming frowned and suggested after hearing this.
When several directors heard this, they nodded in agreement.
"Will Xia Tian really disdain our horses?" Chairman Peter James asked then.
He was born in a British aristocratic family. His ancestors came to Hong Kong to develop after the Raven War and participated in the preparation and establishment of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Their family also had close ties with the Jockey Club, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the Jockey Club was their family's property.
Therefore, when the manager said that Xia Tian would be very disdainful of horses, he suddenly felt very angry and felt that Xia Tian was too arrogant and wanted to teach him a lesson.
Although Hong Kong has confirmed that the 1997 will return, many British companies have restrained their edge. British companies such as Swire, Land, Huidefeng, Hutchison Whampoa have successively sold their assets and cut their losses and left Hong Kong. However, there are still some British businesses that have been used to being arrogant and have not been able to make a turn for a while.
"That's right, that's what he said." The manager nodded repeatedly.
He hated Xia Tian very much. If he hadn't brought people to him yesterday, it would have nothing to do with those rich families even if they had missed Qiu Shuzhen. How big a commoner can cause? If something happens, you can settle it.
It was Lai Xiatian who was unyielding and aggressive, and finally made things worse and implicated him in the process of interrogating him. It was still a matter of whether the restaurant manager could be kept at the time. So he hated Xiatian and wanted to borrow the Jockey Club to make up for Xiatian.
"Hmph! It's outrageous!" Peter slapped the table and said, "Dear directors, Xia Tian is so arrogant. I suggest you teach him a lesson."
Hearing what he said, all the directors here, except for the three foreign directors who met, the other eight Chinese directors did not nod.
"Mr. James, please calm down!" Director Xie Bingguo waved his hand, "The whole thing has been just a side note from Manager Cui. We are not clear about the truth of the matter at present, so it is unwise to react rashly!
Besides, Xia Tian is not an ordinary person. His wealth has accumulated to more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, and he firmly sits on the second place in the Hong Kong rich rankings. It is not easy for us to teach him a lesson. We should conduct investigations, assessments, and preparations in advance before we can take action."
"I agree with Director Xie. Teaching a lesson in summer is not a matter of one day or one night. It is not advisable to make a decision in a hurry." Director Guo Daming also nodded.
"Enemy should be resolved rather than formed! I think it is not a good thing to make enemies rashly. If summer can be brought into our Jockey Club, we can strengthen our strength." Director Zhou Zhenglin also suggested.
"No, not bad, actually we should have absorbed Xiatian to join our Jockey Club." "Our Jockey Club is determined to attract social talents in Hong Kong. Xiatian is the second richest man in Hong Kong, but he is not a member of us. This is simply our dereliction of duty!" Several directors also echoed.
Peter James originally wanted to teach Xia Tian a lesson to let him know that Hong Kong or Britain are still ruling, but seeing that all these Chinese directors were standing on his side, he suddenly had a headache.
"Enough!" he slapped the table and said, "Then follow the opinions of Director Xie, and conduct an investigation first. If the investigation is revealed, Xia Tian is indeed disrespectful to our Jockey Club. I hope all directors will unite and jointly safeguard the reputation of our Jockey Club."
With more than half of the directors unanimously opposed it, it is unwise and impossible to forcibly push forward their plans. Since this is the case, then let’s settle for the second best and conduct an investigation first.
Anyway, the investigation is done by people. Since it is done by people, there is a possibility of tampering with the truth. At that time, it will be said that Xia Tian is disrespectful to the Jockey Club and ask everyone to teach him a lesson. Who can still refute it? What reasons are there to refute it?
"Okay." Hearing that he said, several Chinese directors had to nod.
...
In summer evening, I went home from get off work and after dinner, I continued to return to the study to write "Uncle Zombie".
"Brother Tian, come out quickly." At 9:30, the door suddenly got knocked.
"What's the matter?" Xia Tian opened the door and asked in confusion.
"Come on, it's broadcasting a new variety show on the wireless." Wang Qixian said in surprise.
"Oh?!" Xia Tian was stunned and followed her to the living room. Sure enough, he saw the new version of the wireless variety show being broadcast.
I saw a big stage on the screen, with grids printed on the stage. Several guests were standing in the grid, and one of them was rolling the dice. After rolling the dice, he jumped forward according to the points. After reaching the corresponding grid, he could get prizes, questions, points or punishments inside.
"Isn't this a 'monopoly'?" Xia Tian's eyes lit up as soon as he saw it, and he remembered the computer game "Monopoly" he played in his previous life. The gameplay seemed to be very similar to this one, except that he could build a house.
"Is this the new version of the variety show of wireless? It's not bad, it's quite creative." He smiled.
"Monopoly" was very popular in his previous life. Many computers in Internet cafes installed this game, which is said to be the most popular among girls.
The game "Monopoly" actually originated from a chess game similar to "Strong Chess". This type of game originated from the "landlord game" at the beginning of this century. It was not popular at first and even no one cared about it for a time.
However, after the college students from Princeton Economics at Harvard University accidentally came into contact with this game, they were immediately shocked. They enriched and developed the gameplay of this type of game, making it gradually popular.
