"Did you see the tall man with a fierce face on Peter's right? This man has been traveling in South Africa all year round, engaged in the non-ferrous metal trade industry, and has a good relationship with mercenaries. He is definitely a ruthless character."
Although the name of the Blackstone Group is similar to that of the once brilliant Heishui, in fact the two companies have nothing to do with each other, but the Blackstone Group secretly controls several mercenaries to protect their customers, so he can recognize each other Not surprising.
"Everyone came so early? Let me introduce a new friend, Jason Yang from New Era Media, and give us a little youthful atmosphere." James introduced with a smile.
Yang Cheng also greeted several people politely. The other two were okay and gave the necessary courtesy, but Peter Flor was very enthusiastic. He not only stood up and gave Yang Cheng a hug, but also walked aside himself Poured a glass of wine for Yang Cheng, "Your grandfather and I are old friends."
It turned out that this was the case, and Yang Cheng suddenly realized that Peter Flor's territory was in Texas, so it was normal for him to know his grandfather well.
"Mr. Flor, I also heard grandpa mentioning you, but I didn't get it right for a while." Yang Cheng has such a thick skin, such beautiful words that don't cost money come out of his mouth.
"Call me Peter. Your grandfather and I often compete in golf skills. I heard from him that you had an extraordinary talent in golf when you were a child. Unfortunately, your family is doomed for you not to be able to show your skills in the professional field." Peter Fur Lol said with regret.
Yang Cheng didn't think it was a pity, "Maybe, but in my opinion, my talent in business is far higher than in golf."
Lao Mei has never been used to modesty, especially in front of successful people, if she properly shows her confident side, it is easy to be looked at differently by others. Peter Flor said seriously, "Yes, your talent in the business field It is certified, but today you have no chance to show it."
Yang Cheng smiled, "It's okay, I'm also good at golf."
Everyone laughed, chatted briefly, and ate some barbecue to fill their stomachs. They got on the golf carts and drove to the teeing ground of the first hole.
Yang Cheng deliberately drove the caddy to the back and drove a golf cart himself. James was sitting beside him. feel cold.
"I sent someone to contact the Blackstone Group to acquire the shares of the Hilton Group, but you refused?" Yang Cheng asked straightforwardly without talking nonsense.
James put away his smile and said with a serious face, "Yes, I was optimistic at first, but when I mentioned it to Mr. Schwarzman, he vetoed it. You also know that he is in the group. How much right to speak, as long as he doesn't let go of this kind of business, no one dares to make his own claims."
Yang Cheng frowned for a moment. This is not good news. Stephen Schwarzman is not only the chairman of the board of directors of Blackstone Group, but also the real CEO. He holds great power. With his dazzling achievements in the past, no one dares to challenge his authority.
"What's the reason? There must be a reason for refusal, right?"
James shook his head, pretending to be mysterious and said, "I didn't ask the specifics, but I heard that he has been very close to the consortium in country Z recently, and he is in a good mood. It seems that there is hope cooperate."
Yang Cheng's heart sank immediately, MMP, wouldn't it be another flight, right?
The teeing area was not far away, and the two arrived there without saying a few words. The caddies got off the car early and stood in a row with their bags on their backs.
Peter Flor stepped forward and said, "It's an 18-hole standard game. Although the club doesn't encourage gambling, it doesn't matter if we play privately. It's just to add to the fun. I propose that the winner will be treated to dinner for $500 per shot. how?"
"Agreed~"
"I have no opinion~"
"You can tell~"
Yang Cheng finally stated, "Let's start, who will serve first?"
The casino tycoon from Vegas volunteered to take the driver from the caddy,
Put on the standard tee-off position, simply swing a few times to aim, then take a step forward and swing quickly, and the white ball takes off in response.
The par-3 No. 1 hole has a wide view of the fairway, but there is a forest in the middle of the fairway, so most of the tee shots will be towards the flat area on the left side of the woods as the landing point of the first shot. If the tee shot is far enough away If it is, it will be very beneficial to hit the green on the second shot.
However, the strength of this skinny old man is lacking. The golf ball has a good flying momentum at the beginning, but it quickly weakens. It's another matter for a master who hits the green and can hit a high-quality curve ball.
Everyone swung in turn, and the best performer was Peter Flor. His tee shot distance for the first shot was almost 180 yards.
In the end it was Yang Cheng's turn. After James and Peter Flor's publicity, everyone knew that this young man was an out-and-out little master, so everyone's expectations were raised to the highest.
Yang Cheng rubbed his nose, but he wasn't stage fright. He was joking, playing golf with a group of old men, and even losing face to Jiang Dong's elders.
However, his disadvantages are also quite obvious. It was his first time playing the Cypress Penalty Course, and he knew almost zero knowledge of the fairway. The caddy whispered a few words in secret, and then confidently pulled out the first iron, which is rarely used by amateur players.
James couldn't help reminding, "Jason, are you going to play something with technical difficulty?"
Yang Cheng stood still on the teeing area with the club on his shoulders, and said with a smile, "I have never played cypress point, you have to find another way to win, and today's air humidity is relatively high, the tee shot with wood will be affected, so, I Want to try hitting the pond."
Seeing him holding the club, with the clubhead facing the pond on the right side of the woods, everyone immediately understood what he meant. He wanted to hit the ball across the pond. As long as he passed the pond, it was almost certain that he would hit the green with the second shot. , and it is possible to make a birdie.
After explaining a sentence, he didn't speak any more. He carefully practiced his swing a few times, making sure that his shoulders were open and his body was warmed up. Then he raised the club head high, piercing the air with a perfect arc, "Boom~" With a crisp sound, the golf ball was shot out like a bullet, heading straight towards the pond.
"Good shot~" Peter Flor yelled out as soon as the ball flew up. He has played golf all year round, and he can tell a good shot or a bad shot at a glance.
The ball was still flying, and the ferocious-looking old man who was engaged in non-ferrous metals said, "It looks like this shot has 200 yards."
