Chapter 2 Chapter 1 The Mysterious Villa

At a highway intersection by the sea, Ou Shengda met Chu Zhiyang.To Ou Shengda's surprise, he actually drove that Yazhi.This made Ou Shengda very strange, usually Chu Zhiyang always reminded Ou Shengda to keep a low profile, especially for people like us who have to deal with government officials frequently, dressing and driving must make people feel ordinary.Therefore, Chu Zhiyang usually only drives a 3.2 in an Audi A6, and as for Ou Shengda, he only drives a 2.8 in an Audi A8.Why drive an Audi?Because this car is low-key enough, and the secretary of the municipal party committee is only 2.4 A6.Just imagine, when you go to the government to do business or treat government officials to dinner, and you drive a Bentley or Enzo, people will see that you are so rich, and the support and discounts that can obviously be given to you will also be discounted.

Therefore, one must keep a low profile, this is the only rule that Ou Shengda and Chu Zhiyang have insisted on for so many years.Today he drove this elegant, what do you mean?Seeing Ou Shengda coming, he waved in front of him, motioning for Ou Shengda's driver to follow his car. The car walked for a long time on a secluded path by the sea, and when it reached the middle of the mountain, a gate surrounded by lush vines appeared not far in front.A handsome boy in black clothes, a tie, and headphones walked up to Chu Zhiyang's Yazhi. Chu Zhiyang stretched out his hand from Yaya's back seat and handed him a card.The young man looked carefully, then looked towards Ou Shengda, bowed to Chu Zhiyang, and the door slowly opened.

In front of Ou Shengda was a quiet path. Sitting in the back seat, Ou Shengda felt that the car was turning around in the woods, but at each intersection there was a young man in black commanding him. The driver Tang Gongru sighed: "Chairman, I didn't expect Pengcheng to have such a quiet place, it's like a paradise." Ou Shengda asked: "Do you know what this place is?" "This should be the villa area we saw on the highway. However, you can't see anything from the bottom, so it's quite a hole in the sky!" Just as he was talking, his eyes suddenly opened up, and a platform appeared in front of him.

Someone signaled Tang Gongru to stop the car.Ou Shengda got out of the car and looked as far as the eye could see, there was a blue sea in front of him.In his memory, there should be a highway below, but standing in front of the railing of the platform, he could only see the lush trees under the hillside and the roofs of several villas hidden in between, nothing else at all. Chu Zhiyang came over: "How is it, Shengda?" Ou Shengda couldn't help sighing: "It's really ingenious and beautiful. It's a pity that it lacks a beach." Chu Zhiyang smiled: "Shengda, you don't know something. There is a small road in this place, which leads directly to the sea. There is a beautiful private beach there, and there are no tourists."

Ou Shengda wanted to ask some more questions, but a man greeted them and bowed to the two of them: "Please, both of you." Ou Shengda turned his head and found a three-story villa in the back, and the walls were covered with branches and vines. He thought to himself: This is just like the combat headquarters. It's so well hidden, why can't you see it from the bottom of the mountain? This three-story villa doesn't look very big from the outside, but upon entering, Ou Shengda was surprised to find that the area of ​​the lobby here is definitely not smaller than that of any five-star hotel in Pengcheng.

"Didn't expect that?" Chu Zhiyang asked with a smile. Ou Shengda looked around and found that there were many people inside, either sitting on the sofa, or standing aside, chatting softly.The man turned his head, smiled and said to Ou Shengda: "Sir, this is the first time you come to our place. Let me introduce you. This is our public reception hall. The whole villa was dug out on the mountain. The windows outside They are all for decoration. You see, the ceilings are all natural mountains. This villa only uses a small amount of reinforced concrete for the structure, and the natural mountains are mainly slightly modified."

Ou Shengda nodded: "Not bad, not bad. By the way, is your place a hotel?" "This is not a hotel, but it is better than a hotel." Seeing that Ou Shengda was still a little dazed, Chu Zhiyang smiled and said, "To be precise, this is a private club, the top private club in Pengcheng." Ou Shengda asked in a low voice, "Is it a place to eat, drink, prostitute, gamble, or take drugs?" Chu Zhiyang smiled: "Where do you want to go? Of course there are beauties here, but they are definitely not poisonous. As for gambling, small bets are okay, but big ones are not."

Ou Shengda said: "I can tell you, if there is a crime, I will turn around and leave. You know, I have always been innocent, so don't drag me into the water." Chu Zhiyang seemed to be looking for something, and he replied casually: "You boy, don't bite Lu Dongbin!" A tall woman in a black suit with the collar of a snow-white silk shirt turned up came over, the man whispered something to her, she nodded, and said to Chu Zhiyang: "Mr. You and your friend can go upstairs and have a rest." As he said that, he stretched out his hand to the side, and an antique elevator stopped there quietly.

After getting out of the elevator, the woman led the way, and Ou Shengda and Chu Zhiyang followed behind.The woman had a slender waist, round buttocks, and long hair floating on her shoulders.Ou Shengda suddenly had a strange feeling that the machine that hadn't been started for a long time actually responded. Chu Zhiyang gave Ou Shengda a meaningful look, as if to say, you are too self-sufficient. After entering a private room, Ou Shengda found that the decoration of this private room was simply too avant-garde, and it was full of sci-fi atmosphere.The woman flicked a button, and the delicate, shiny table magically rose from the ground.

"Mr. Chu, what do you drink?" "Liu'an Guapian." Although Chu Zhiyang grew up in Beijing, he was born in Anhui. At that time, his father was the head of the regiment, so he still likes Anhui tea after all these years. Ou Shengda knows this. The woman walked to the side and pressed a few times on the screen on the wall, turned her head and bowed to the two, and said with a smile, "You two wait a moment." After a while, Ou Shengda saw a small door light up a few times beside the door they came in, and a pure girl wearing an orchid silk jacket and black silk trousers floated in.The reason why Ou Shengda felt that the woman was floating was because the floor of this room was also a huge screen, and the color at this time seemed to make Ou Shengda feel like he was in a thatched hut beside a mountain stream in Lu'an.The woman squatted down in front of the two of them softly, and said softly: "Mr. Chu, please allow me to serve you and your friends."

Ou Shengda smelled a faint fragrance, he didn't know if it was the fragrance of tea or a woman's body fragrance.When he looked up, he saw that the woman who had led them in had left the room.Ou Shengda took a sip and felt the fragrance entered his heart and spleen, making him feel good.Putting down his cup, Ou Shengda asked Chu Zhiyang: "Zhiyang, how did you find this place? It's not bad, is it the same as my member of Guanlan Golf Club?" Chu Zhiyang took a sip of tea: "It's similar, but this club is more strict on membership. You can become a member of Guanlan Golf Club by paying money, and the membership can be transferred. This is different here, even if you have money, you may not be allowed to join the club. " "Oh! Tell me about it." Ou Shengda suddenly became interested. "This is a private club with a shareholder system. In other words, after paying an admission fee ranging from 150,000 to 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, members can enjoy various services and make money. Of course, whether you can become a member or not depends on the club." The manager of the club and other members decide." Chu Zhiyang signaled the woman in silk to fill Ou Shengda with tea. "Oh!" Ou Shengda was a little confused. "This kind of private club is also called a super rich club. Applicants need to provide a proof of assets to confirm their worth. In addition to the membership fee I mentioned earlier, you will also have to pay an annual fee of 28,000 Hong Kong dollars every year. These are trivial things , the source of your assets must be legitimate, that is to say, if you apply and the club selection committee conducts an investigation and finds that your assets are of unknown origin, you will not be able to join the club." Chu Zhiyang looked at Ou Shengda, There is an undisguised joy in the eyes. "Are you a member here?" Ou Shengda asked. "Yes." Chu Zhiyang nodded, his eyes made Ou Shengda feel a certain pride. "Are there any other requirements besides paying the membership fee and annual fee?" Ou Shengda asked. "First, you need to be recommended by two members with more than one year's qualifications, and then you have to wait until there is a vacancy. The selection committee will interview you in batches for four consecutive weeks. Among the 20 committee members, as long as there is one objection, you There is no chance. Members are regarded as a status symbol, and the reason why there are such strict rules is to limit the number of members and ensure the quality of members." "If I join the club, what kind of service will I get?" Ou Shengda asked. “You don’t have to worry about reservations at restaurants, and you don’t have to worry about holding parties. The club will try to meet any reasonable requests made by members. For example, you want to hold a party on an unknown island; hold a wedding on a super luxury yacht; Host unique champagne receptions, private dinners, and even play until dawn. The club’s strict confidentiality system for member information and the security system guaranteed by retired officers from the Marine Corps constitute another attraction.” Chu Zhiyang answering. "It seems that I have no chance. I only know you as a member." Ou Shengda felt a little frustrated. "You have fun, I brought you here today just to introduce you to another member." Chu Zhiyang seemed a little proud. "Who? Do I know him? Is he here?" Ou Shengda couldn't wait. "Temporary secrecy." Chu Zhiyang still kept the secrets as strictly as Yu Zecheng. "How did you know about this club in the first place?" Since the enemy would not recruit even if they died, Ou Shengda decided to use soft tricks, trying to make a detour and save the country. "I was also introduced by someone else. It was introduced by two of my foreign customers. They are members of the club's foreign headquarters. However, the purpose of my joining the club is very simple, which is to find business partners. It stands to reason , I should have introduced you here earlier, but the basic requirement for members of this club is to have good quality, reputation and financial status. No, I have just been a member for one year, and I have the qualifications. I want to introduce you to come in too." "Well, it shows that you still have a little conscience. If this tells me that you are playing tricks in front of me in the future, let me see how I deal with you." Ou Shengda took a sip of tea, feeling the fragrance on his lips and teeth, he couldn't help looking more at the woman in silk glance.He noticed that there was a bronze medal on the woman's chest, and he really wanted to see what was written on it, but felt that staring at a young girl was a bit frivolous, so he gave up. "You are my best friend, how could I forget you. Do you remember Zhu Zifu?" Chu Zhiyang asked. "Why don't you remember, it's the guy who claims to be the boss of the construction industry. His company has done projects for me." "Let me tell you, he was rejected when he applied for membership a few months ago." "Why? Isn't he also worth over a billion dollars?" "Hehe, he has actually met several members of the selection committee, but when he met the third batch, he was rough in the restaurant and kept smoking, leaving a very bad impression on the selection committee. And What directly caused him to go out of the meeting was that he was disheveled that day, and the club attendant warned him, but he quarreled loudly with the waiter." Chu Zhiyang's smile didn't know what it meant. "Did you warn me?" Ou Shengda was a little vigilant, because he also had some of Zhu Zifu's problems. "What do you think?" Chu Zhiyang was noncommittal, and the meaning in his words was clearly affirmative. "It seems that joining this club is much more difficult than when I joined the party." Ou Shengda said thoughtfully. "Shengda, you really need to be more strict with yourself. You know, some candidate members are just because they make loud calls in the banquet hall, or go upstairs to eat in a bathrobe after swimming, and the child cries loudly in the coffee shop. The reason for the trouble was not approved. Don't let me lose face." Chu Zhiyang instructed. Ou Shengda was about to say something, suddenly, the door of the private room flicked a few times, and a burst of pleasant music sounded. Chu Zhiyang quickly stood up, and said to Ou Shengda, "The person I'm dating is here." There were two people standing at the door, a man and a woman. The woman is thin-skinned and fleshy, with a pretty face. Although she is not very beautiful, she is wearing a well-fitting dress, which makes her thighs bright and plump, very graceful. The man was wearing a white casual suit, black trousers, and tall and straight. At first glance, he mistakenly thought it was the singer Jinggangshan, but when he looked closely, he was younger than Jinggangshan, and he was more pleasing to the eye. Chu Zhiyang introduced to Ou Shengda: "Shengda, this lady is with you, Liao Bingxuan, have you heard of it?" Of course, Ou Shengda had heard that Liao Bingxuan was the wife of Zhang Zijiang, secretary of the Baoshan District Party Committee in Pengcheng, and the chairman of the Baoshan Investment Company. He hurriedly walked forward humbly, took Liao Bingxuan's hand and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you." Liao Bingxuan's hand was soft and cool. Liao Bingxuan smiled sweetly: "Chairman Ou, it's a pleasure to meet you, you are very famous in Pengcheng, you are like thunder!" Ou Shengda smelled a luxurious perfume, he is very sensitive to perfume.Le Feng has never used perfume, so he is curious about perfume, he is curious about all perfumes, he thinks perfume is the most beautiful and charming thing in the world.For a while, he even wanted to persuade Le Feng to use perfume too, but Le Feng insisted that the teacher used perfume badly, so he stuffed all the big and small, colorful and strangely shaped bottles he bought in France to the bottom of the dressing table , which disappointed Ou Shengda.He has always wanted to embrace a woman with a graceful fragrance, because it can arouse his desire.However, Le Feng is not such a woman.Now, he suddenly smelled this smell, and something that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time began to move around the corner. The male Chu Zhiyang didn't seem to know him either, so he was a little hesitant.Seeing this situation, Liao Bingxuan said with a smile: "Come on, let me introduce. This is my college classmate Gu Mengbai, who is also the owner of this club." "Oh, so it's President Gu. I've been here for more than a year, and this is the first time I've seen you." Chu Zhiyang held Gu Mengbai's hand tightly. "This is Chairman Ou, right?" Gu Mengbai stretched out his hand proactively, with a measured smile.When Ou Shengda's hand touched Gu Mengbai's, it was soft but with a special strength, Ou Shengda couldn't tell what it was. "Oh, Mr. Gu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ou Shengda smiled heartily. "Everyone sit down." Chu Zhiyang greeted. The four of them sat down, and Ou Shengda suddenly found that the scenery in the room had changed, it was a kind of vastness and spaciousness similar to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. "Have the dishes been arranged?" Gu Mengbai asked. Chu Zhiyang replied: "It has been arranged, Hakka style, with some seafood added. Isn't there Mrs. Liao here? She is a Hakka girl!" "I'm very casual, you don't have to be polite, Mr. Chu." Liao Bingxuan's voice was soothing and elegant, which could be heard to be very cultivated. "Would you like to try Spanish cuisine? I have a Spanish chef here." Gu Mengbai asked everyone in an inquiring tone, "Spanish cuisine has a unique flavor, which combines the essence of Mediterranean and oriental cooking. You can definitely pass these The rich flavor of olive oil and fragrant minced garlic in the dish identify Spanish cuisine. Compared with French cuisine, it pays more attention to the fragrance and nutrition of food.” Chu Zhiyang looked at Liao Bingxuan: "President Liao, why don't you try?" Liao Bingxuan smiled: "I'm fine, let's see what Ou Dong means." Ou Shengda quickly said: "I listen to Mr. Liao, and the lady is in charge." Passing through the corridor on the third floor is a long tunnel with fish tanks inlaid on both sides, and fish of different colors swim around in it.At the top of the tunnel is a large TV wall, which reflects the sky with white clouds and various birds.Passing through the tunnel is a section of covered bridge. Under the covered bridge is gurgling water, in which there are still various fish swimming comfortably. Next, I walked into another villa. This villa was completely built against the mountain, but it was in the style of a European castle. Gu Mengbai introduced with a smile: "This is a place to eat Western food, and the place to eat Chinese food is in another villa." Liao Bingxuan joked: "Mr. Gu, you have made this place so elegant, if I Eat Vietnamese food, don't you want to build a bamboo house for us?" Gu Mengbai said solemnly: "Mr. Liao, you don't eat Vietnamese food in the bamboo building, but in a French villa below. You must know that Vietnam used to be a French colony, and some dishes are deeply influenced by French food. We The purpose of this club is that as long as the needs of members are met, we will do our best to satisfy them, even if it is a dream, we must make his dreams come true." This is a room with a view of the sea on three sides.Perhaps because of the location, the whole room seems to be hanging on the sea, with a few white sails in the distance, just like a beautiful impressionist oil painting. "It's so beautiful, why haven't I been in this room before?" Liao Bingxuan made a flying posture with the bow of a Titanic. "Mr. Liao, this has just been renovated, and the three of you are the first batch of guests." The corners of Gu Mengbai's mouth turned up, with an elegant arc. Liao Bing turned around to look at Ou Shengda, and said a little coquettishly: "Ou Dong, look, my classmate always hides and writes poems in college, and ignores us. You see, this graduation has changed so much, and the handling of people and things is impeccable, where is the previous rebelliousness?" Ou Shengda glanced at Gu Mengbai and said, "Fortune tellers say that a person's life is destined. Mr. Gu made this club look like a dream world. Maybe he didn't study poetry at that time, but realm." Liao Bingxuan glanced at Gu Mengbai: "It's just like his name, Meng. He was dreaming then, and now he tells us to dream." Gu Mengbai smiled standardly with a calm expression on his face. In a blink of an eye, the dishes came up one by one. Chu Zhiyang said to Gu Mengbai: "Mr. Gu, we are all country people. Would you like to introduce this Spanish dish to us?" Gu Mengbai smiled embarrassedly, but looked at Liao Bingxuan: "Then let me talk about it?" Liao Bingxuan gave a friendly smile, and she looked like a tolerant and generous lady again, completely different from just now. Gu Mengbai said: "The most prominent feature of Spanish cuisine is that it is seasoned with fragrant and healthy olive oil; it emphasizes the fragrance of garlic; it is not spicy, but every dish is very delicate. For example, this gazpacho, which is hot in Spain It is very common in the region. The local people like to drink cold soup in summer, and the Chinese may not be used to it. Originally, this soup was only made with overnight bread, salt, olive oil, garlic, vinegar, etc. But now it has been improved and added All kinds of fresh ingredients. Let's try it?" Everyone took a few sips, and the taste was very special.Liao Bingxuan asked: "Mengbai, isn't this soup not easy to make?" "President Liao." Gu Mengbai said with a smile. Liao Bingxuan interrupted him: "Don't talk about Mr. Liao one by one. It sounds awkward. You should still call me Liao Bingxuan or Xuanzi as before." Gu Mengbai was taken aback, and immediately returned to his standard smile and said: "Hehe, I'm sorry, isn't this in front of Ou Dong and President Chu? It looks respectful. Since you find it awkward, then I'll call you Xuanzi. Xuanzi, this soup The method is actually very simple, put fresh vegetables into a blender and make a paste, cook the soup, then let the soup cool, add some crumbled bread, tomato cubes, etc., and finally pour some olive oil on it.” "It's that simple?" Liao Bingxuan was a little skeptical. "Yes, many seemingly complicated things are actually very simple. People are used to complicating simple things. In fact, it is not the complexity of the things themselves, but the complexity of people's hearts." Gu Mengbai picked up the wine glass and pointed to a The sardine said, "For example, this sardine dish, you can taste the skin is crispy and delicious, and the fish meat inside is relatively tender. In fact, it is to grill the sardines, add a little sea salt, and pour olive oil when eating. It's that simple. Someone I believe that it, together with French cuisine and Italian cuisine, can be called the three major genres of Western food. Among the three, Italian food is the source, laying the foundation for Western food; French food is the development, improving the standards and culture of Western food; and Spanish food The dish is popular, and it expands the scope of influence of Western food." Liao Bingxuan's eyes were full of appreciation, and he looked at Gu Mengbai: "Mengbai, I realized that I really don't understand you. When I was in school, I always thought you were an unpredictable guy who always hid himself in the dark. Come to think of it, you are so thoughtful!" Gu Mengbai's smile didn't waver at all, he looked at Liao Bingxuan: "It's because you always focus on the distance and ignore the scenery in front of you." Chu Zhiyang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu's language is full of wit and wit. It is suitable for offense and defense. Mr. Liao, it seems that you lost an opportunity back then." Liao Bingxuan smiled and said generously, "Yes, I ignored Mengbai at that time." Ou Shengda suddenly interjected: "Why do I feel that Zhiyang and I are suspected of light bulbs here? Zhiyang, I think we should not make trouble for others." Liao Bingxuan smiled sweetly: "Hey, it seems that the mistakes made 20 years ago are repeated today. Did I also ignore Director Ou?" Ou Shengda smiled and nodded: "I'm really jealous." Chu Zhiyang hit him from the side: "Shengda, why are you jealous? He is an old classmate reuniting, so why are you making trouble?" Ou Shengda said solemnly: "Liao is always the most beautiful flower among the entrepreneurs in Pengcheng. The Pengcheng People's Government ordered me to protect Mr. Liao and not allow men other than me to flatter Mr. Liao. Especially Mr. Gu Such a graceful and graceful killer of beautiful women must be resolutely wiped out." Everyone roared with laughter, and even Gu Mengbai's smile was enlarged a lot. After laughing for a while, Liao Bingxuan asked Ou Shengda: "Ou Dong, how are you going to annihilate Mr. Gu?" Ou Shengda looked at Liao Bingxuan: "Protecting beautiful women is the sacred duty entrusted to me by the people of Pengcheng City, but now it is a civilized society, it is not fashionable to duel with Mr. Gu, he slashed me with a knife, and I shot him, bloody It's too ugly. I decided to have three drinks with Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu, don't you want to give up your position? If you want to give up, you don't have to drink." Gu Mengbai looked at Liao Bingxuan: "Xuanzi, it seems that I have to drink." Liao Bingxuan asked with concern: "Are you okay?" Gu Mengbai stood up and said to Ou Shengda: "Ou Dong, I accept your challenge. Come on, do it!" Ou Shengda also stood up: "Actually, both of us are hard-working people. You see, we are so desperate, the position has long been occupied by Secretary Zhang. So let's drink the wine of unity, the wine of the alliance, after drinking How about challenging Secretary Zhang together in the future?" "Wonderful!" Gu Mengbai took a drink without hesitation. "Wine is a bosom friend." Ou Shengda also drank it boldly. Chu Zhiyang looked at the two of them: "Why did you two become the same raccoon again in the blink of an eye?" "In the face of the great enemy, we must first form a united front and unite with the outside world." Ou Shengda replied with a smile. After going back and forth, the bottle of Galilean white wine was gone.Chu Zhiyang and Liao Bingxuan only drank a little, but Gu Mengbai and Ou Shengda drank almost all of it.It's just that Ou Shengda's face was a little flushed, but Gu Mengbai's face remained the same, as if the wine had no effect on him at all. Seeing that Ou Shengda was very excited, Gu Mengbai asked: "Ou Dong, do you want another bottle?" Chu Zhiyang stopped him from the side: "It's better not to, there are other activities at night, don't drink too much." Ou Shengda suddenly remembered what Chu Zhiyang said to him while drinking tea, and felt that if he drank too much and lost his temper and could not join this club, wouldn't he lose face like Zhu Zifu and be looked down upon by others?So, he said to Gu Mengbai: "Forget it, order as much as you want, you have a lot of wonderful shows here, I don't want to spend tonight with the wine bottle." Liao Bingxuan asked Gu Mengbai: "Mengbai, can you introduce the program here tonight?" Gu Mengbai said: "There is a reception tonight, where you can dance; there is also a lecture, a famous economist talks about the international financial situation; there is also a small theater drama. Which one are you interested in?" Liao Bingxuan thought for a while and said, "Listen to the lecture, then have a midnight snack, and then go home." Gu Mengbai asked: "Why, don't you live here?" Liao Bingxuan said: "Old Zhang is going to Europe for inspection tomorrow, I have to go back and pack his things." Gu Mengbai said: "You still need to do these yourself? Just ask the nanny to do it." Liao Bingxuan smiled slightly: "Why would the nanny do these things? After all, I am his wife, who can replace me?" There was a trace of coldness on Gu Mengbai's face, but it was only for a moment, and the sun was shining again immediately. Ou Shengda really wanted to take a closer look at him, isn't this person as calm as water?But he restrained himself, he still has this bit of professionalism, just like facing the gold falling from the sky, he must not show greed immediately.What's more, even if someone has some thoughts in their hearts, or is jealous, isn't it normal for a college classmate? However, Ou Shengda is satisfied with the hardware of this club so far. He has been to many places over the years, and this is the first time for him to have such a low-key luxury in his bones.What kind of characters hang around here? Fortunately, the lecture was in this villa, and the three men surrounded Liao Bingxuan as if they were taking care of the moon and walked into the multifunctional hall.The time for the lecture has not yet arrived, and there are only a few people in it.A staff member from the clubhouse had come to guide a few people to sit at a table, and Gu Mengbai kept greeting everyone who passed by, with an enthusiastic but measured attitude. As soon as we sat down, the waiter brought us tea.To Ou Shengda's surprise, there were three types of tea: Lu'an Guapian, Fenghuang Dancong and West Lake Longjing.Chu Zhiyang is Lu'an Guapian, Gu Mengbai is West Lake Longjing, Liao Bingxuan and Ou Shengda are Phoenix Dancong. "How do they know that I like Fenghuang Dancong?" Ou Shengda looked at Gu Mengbai with some puzzlement. "I'm sorry, we have done investigations on the target objects recommended by our members, including your financial status, personality, hobbies, etc. So, when you come here today, the computer will naturally show that you like to drink Phoenix Dancong. If you order other tea, they will serve you your favorite." Gu Mengbai said lightly. "So, in front of the club, I am transparent?" Ou Shengda asked. "That's not true, for example, your personal privacy is not within the scope of our investigation." Gu Mengbai smiled. "That's okay, otherwise, you're not a club here, but the KGB headquarters." Ou Shengda picked up the tea, the taste was very good, as fragrant as Le Feng's. A man came over: "Hey, isn't this Director Ou? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Ou Shengda didn't remember who this man was for a while, and was a little dazed. Gu Mengbai said: "Dong Ou, this is the selection committee member of our club, Wang Guangyu, chairman of the board of Kangmei Electric, Chairman Wang." "Oh, look at my memory. I'm sorry, Chairman Wang. We met." Ou Shengda took Wang Guangyu's hand. They have met, and more than once. Once, Wang Guangyu was going to open a chain store in a commercial project of Ou Shengda, and the two had a negotiation; another time was at a banquet held by Mayor Xu Zhongfang. He drank too much, and Ou Shengda was deeply impressed by this. After a while of pleasantries, everyone sat down.Wang Guangyu asked Gu Mengbai: "Did Ou Dong also apply?" Gu Mengbai smiled lightly: "I haven't formally applied yet, but now President Chu and President Liao have recommended it to the selection committee. Whether to join or not depends on Ou Dong's own wishes." "Ou Dong, you don't think our club is too small, do you?" "Where? Chairman Wang's words make Shengda ashamed. I'm just afraid that I'm not a good person and I don't have the qualifications to stand shoulder to shoulder with everyone." Ou Shengda said sincerely. Liao Bingxuan glanced at Ou Shengda: "Ou Dong, please don't say that. If you are not qualified, we are even less qualified. It happens that the lecture has not started yet, ask them to bring the form, and you fill out an application?" "Just apply here? Do you want to hold some ceremony, such as swearing an oath to a certain flag?" Ou Shengda pretended to be serious and said. "Come on, don't be a fool. The boss is here, the recommender is here, and the selection committee is here, so don't pretend." Chu Zhiyang punched Ou Shengda. Ou Shengda looked at Gu Mengbai: "President Gu, do you have to torture him before joining your organization?" Gu Mengbai smiled as before: "Welcome Ou Dong to join, your addition will definitely make us more happy."He turned his head and waved, a staff member came over, and he whispered a few words. Soon, the staff brought a stack of forms, and under his guidance, Ou Shengda quickly filled them out. Ou Shengda took a light breath and looked at everyone: "Does this count as my joining?" Gu Mengbai smiled and said: "Not counting, you still have to meet with the selection committee members one by one. After the lecture, there will be a party. Chairman Wang, please arrange it so that everyone can use tonight and tomorrow morning to meet with Director Ou, okay? it is good?" Wang Guangyu nodded: "OK." Ou Shengda suddenly felt that he was a bit dreamy, as if he was a celestial being looking at the distant world of mortals.Turning his head, he saw Liao Bingxuan looking at him with a smile, and there was kindness in his eyes.For a moment, Ou Shengda suddenly felt that this matter went so smoothly that it was unimaginable. The number of people in the multi-function hall gradually increased, and there were a few that Ou Shengda was familiar with.There is a discussion group of the National People's Congress, an industry association, and a bank. Everyone greets and introduces each other.The atmosphere was like attending someone's wedding, everyone had the same warm smiles, "Hello" and "Nice to meet you", one after another. Because Gu Mengbai was sitting here with Ou Shengda, people kept coming to shake hands, and Gu Mengbai introduced Ou Shengda to others.After a while, Ou Shengda felt that his hands had become sticky, mixed with different smells of different people, which made him very unaccustomed, so he made an excuse and went to the bathroom.Over the past few years, Ou Shengda has traveled to more than a dozen developed and underdeveloped countries in the world, but this is the first time he has seen such a luxurious bathroom.The toilet of the Hong Kong Jockey Club is considered luxurious, but it is nothing compared to this toilet.Here not only protects the privacy of individuals to the greatest extent, but also pursues excellence and delicacy everywhere, with meticulous attention to detail. He walked out of the bathroom, walked by a beautiful lady, smiled and nodded at him, and then drifted past, leaving behind a trace of elegant perfume.He was a little strange, who is this woman?Have you seen it before? Ou Shengda walked slowly towards the multi-functional hall, and from time to time someone passed by him, and he also began to actively nod to others.In this environment, others greet you gracefully, and if you don't respond, it only proves your low quality.No one is immune to vibes.If you work in a noisy vegetable market for a long time, you must have learned to speak loudly; if you enjoy dry steaming, surfing, and showering in a SPA club with simple and clear decoration and high-end appliances, I don’t believe you can Sing the duet. Once you successfully join the club, you must bring Le Feng to enjoy it.As Ou Shengda thought this way, he had already entered the hall.He found that the speech had already started, he felt a little embarrassed, slipped aside, and quietly found a seat. The speaker was an unattractive middle-aged man, but his views were very sharp. He had a clear view of the economic situation facing the country.He knew that he was facing the economic elites of Pengcheng, so he hit the nail on the head when he spoke.He put forward a point of view: the problem of saving China's manufacturing industry is not the looseness or tightness of control measures, but the fact that the economic model can no longer implement the strategy of tinkering, and a major change is necessary. This point of view changed the color of everyone at Ou Shengda's table, especially Chu Zhiyang and Wang Guangyu, whose bodies were tense and seemed tense.Especially when it comes to the impetus for the last round of economic growth, it came from the restructuring of state-owned enterprises at the end of the last century, its entry into the WTO, and the construction of a large number of infrastructures. As a result of integrating into the international market, China has become the factory of the world.Now is the time for another change.He pointed out that some manufacturing industries are actually empty shell enterprises, and a batch of such enterprises should be eliminated.In the international market, it is necessary to rely on brand, technology, intellectual property rights rather than price and tax rebates to do business with others.Oil prices are rising, and world wealth is flowing to resource-exporting countries. We must find ways to enter the markets of rich countries such as oil-producing countries and reduce our dependence on the United States. Ou Shengda noticed that Chu Zhiyang's expression was very serious, not at all like his usual self, it could be seen that his heart was heavy.After the speech was over, when it was time to ask questions, Chu Zhiyang was the first to raise his hand and asked, "Professor, do you think manufacturing companies can use the virtual economy to make money when their profits are severely declining?" The professor looked at him and replied without thinking: "A few days ago, I heard a friend say that the virtual economy can also create wealth. You must not take it seriously, otherwise it is not worthwhile to be poor all your life. You buy When you get rice at home, you can eat when you are hungry; you can get dividends when you buy stocks, and you can buy rice to eat after dividends. But what is the difference? Stocks can be traded between dividends, which is valuable; people want to eat a free lunch.强烈，人在进化当中是有这个基因的，但这个基因会引起泡沫，是不理性的。我觉得泡沫就是虚伪的，这跟传销是一回事，没有产生财富。” “那么，你觉得制造业企业的出路在哪里？”楚之洋又追问了一句。 “减低成本，技术创新，除此之外没有别的出路。看得出来，您是一位制造业的精英。投资其实跟买青菜一样，有好处是最关键的。具体来说，首先要行业好，其次要能够做出规模。行业好是指其增长率要远快于经济增长率，而且通常在行业里，小公司很难生存下来，因为通过整合后行业里只有大公司才能活下来。” 楚之洋没有再问下去，坐在一边默默地想着什么。 欧升达望着他，知道他为什么这样问，因为楚之洋的公司刚刚上市不久，现在经济形势不好，企业利润下滑，他准是动了炒股的念头。因为炒股很有可能让他公司的中报或者年报好看一些。 楚之洋心情一沉重，欧升达同样也心情沮丧。他知道，自己跟楚之洋就像手心和手背，哪边受伤都会痛到另外一边。他扫了一眼桌上的几个人，廖冰旋正微笑地注视着台上的教授，看不出她心里在想什么。浑身的线条真叫一个圆润，恰到好处。看到欧升达的目光扫她，廖冰旋轻轻地点了一下头。 而就在这时，欧升达忽然发现，就在廖冰旋后面不远的一张桌子旁坐着刚才在洗手间门口遇到的那个漂亮女人。见欧升达目光射到了自己身上，那女人对他微微一笑，表示问候。欧升达更加疑惑，她认识自己？ 想到这里，欧升达不由得多看了那女人一眼。一扭头，正碰上楚之洋不怀好意的目光，似乎在问，你又在勾三搭四？欧升达有点不好意思，两人不禁相视一笑，而这一笑正被王光玉和古梦柏看见。 演讲结束了，本来大家约好一起吃夜宵，但是楚之洋却说有事先走了。演讲后的聚会其实也就是吃吃自助餐、聊聊天，地点就是这幢别墅的宴会大厅。古梦柏因为是主人，不停地跟各色人打招呼。王光玉正不停地介绍俱乐部的遴选委员给欧升达认识。其实，跟每个人也说不了几句话。这样就算是遴选了？欧升达自己一直狐疑着。倒是廖冰旋一直陪在他身边，不停地跟每个遴选委员打着招呼，介绍着欧升达。不过，欧升达能体会得到，虽然廖冰旋的话不多，但每次都能恰如其分地说到点子上，不大一会儿，就把欧升达的商业地位给垫踏实了。 “欧董，今天感觉怎么样？”廖冰旋眼里含着关切。 “在这个会所，我今天所体会的绝对是一种浓缩到骨子里，延伸到身心的顶尖享受。”欧升达低声回答。 “如果你能顺利加入，会有更多的体会及意外收获的。”廖冰旋顺手从身边走过的服务员手上的托盘里拿了两杯鸡尾酒，递了一杯给欧升达，“来，预祝一下。” 欧升达忽然觉得脸上有些发烧，变得忸怩起来：“还是不要了，我还没有通过。这样，为了感谢你的推荐，我们喝一杯吧。” “No，为这个我不喝。”见欧升达有些尴尬，她笑了一下，举起杯：“要是为了友谊，我可以喝。”欧升达忽然觉得眼前这个并不年轻的女人在自己眼里忽然美丽起来，她的笑容在自己眼前绽放，灿烂得叫周围的美女全变得毫无颜色。 古梦柏走了过来对欧升达道：“你今天可是成中心了，大家都在议论你。” “议论我？不会吧？我头上又没长角。”欧升达笑着回答。 “你有所不知。今天这个场合有三个候选会员，有一个已经被直接拒绝了，另一个现在看来也不妙，只有你，现在还没有一个遴选委员对你表示反对。” “这么说，我还是大有希望的喽？多谢。”欧升达也想把笑容弄得跟古梦柏一样，可在廖冰旋的眼睛里却比哭还难看。 “得了，你别学梦柏，他那是在国外经过专业训练的，你还是做好你自己就好了。你的笑容多真诚，不像梦柏，不知道他笑容背后安的什么狼子野心？”廖冰旋笑着说。 “欧董，我可真要跟你决斗了。”古梦柏的笑容收敛了一些。 "Why?" Ou Shengda asked. “你看啊，仅仅几个小时，我多年的老同学居然站到了你那一边。本来我还想跟你国共合作共同抗日，现在看来不行了。楚总说得对，攘外必先安内，我要跟你决斗。” 还没等欧升达回答，廖冰旋却先开了口：“梦柏，你什么意思？你口口声声要跟欧董决斗，我怎么觉得你这是把我当礼物往外送啊？” 古梦柏的笑容忽然夸张了起来：“我说不过你们，我招呼客人去。”说完，又进了人群。 欧升达笑道：“廖总，你这个同学蛮有意思的。” 廖冰旋忽然脸一沉：“你别廖总廖总的，你也像梦柏一样叫我旋子好了，怎么这么见外？” 欧升达忸怩了一阵子，终于脸红红地低声叫道：“旋子。” 这些年，欧升达见过的女人实在不少，但是一般都很江湖，像廖冰旋这样骨子里还保持着那份难得的纯真的还真是不多。欧升达脑子里马上想起张自江那张严肃的面孔，心里想，他怎么有福气娶了廖冰旋这样的女子？一这样想，他的脑子里不禁想起乐枫，乐枫哪里都好，就是对自己总是防着这一点很叫他不爽。其实，乐枫也知道，欧升达即使是在外面插了什么彩旗也不会影响自己红旗的位置，可她还是要不断地清空她周围的障碍，不允许自己的周围有任何一面其他颜色或者其他形状的旗帜出现。用楚之洋的话来说，乐枫其实就是对自己不自信，或许是因为年龄，或许是因为其他。总之，强烈的保护意识后面折射出的就是恐惧。 看着欧升达眼神飘忽，廖冰旋问：“欧董，你想什么呢？” 欧升达连忙掩饰着自己，生怕自己的心事被廖冰旋看穿，他解释道：“哦，我忽然想起我一个项目的事，没什么。”他看看时间，快十一点了。今天倒是轻松，不但不用去想生意上的事，还能在这样的环境里跟一个优雅的女人谈天说地，是个有意思的晚上。 “欧董，除了那几个你认识的人，你这里还有熟悉的异性吗？”廖冰旋忽然问。 “没有啊？这里我不认识什么异性。”欧升达回答。 “不对吧，我怎么觉得有人一直在注意你呢？”廖冰旋的眼睛看着别处，似乎很随意地说。 “有人注意我？不会吧！我又不是什么帅哥。” “没有？喏，你看！” 廖冰旋下巴向前一动，顺着她所指的方向，欧升达分明看到了一个人，那个漂亮女人。看到欧升达的目光转向自己，她向这边举起杯。欧升达也举起杯回礼，结果，那女人嫣然一笑，向他这边款款而来。 廖冰旋目光复杂地看了欧升达一眼，轻声道：“别跟我说你不认识这个美女啊？” 那女人走到二人面前，嫣然一笑，那笑容如一道闪电，令欧升达感到夺目：“欧董，还记得我吗？” “你是？”欧升达有点不敢确认。 “你是涵涵小姐？”廖冰旋笑着问道。 女子轻轻地点了一下头：“是的，我是涵涵。” 见欧升达还是有些茫然，廖冰旋有点不满地对欧升达说：“怎么，你还没想起来，涵涵是去年的中国小姐啊。” “不好意思，那都是评委谬爱，我其实也是一个普通的女孩子。这个头衔不过是让我有机会做一些慈善工作而已。”涵涵笑道。 欧升达忽然想起来，去年在海南参加博鳌论坛，在一个酒会上有人介绍过这个女孩子，只不过是当时自己忙着跟北京的两个部长说话，只是跟她打了个招呼，留了名片。后来，这个涵涵打过电话给自己，希望升达地产能够参加一个关心贫困山区孩子的公益助学活动。也巧，当时欧升达在国外，他答应涵涵升达地产捐助一百万人民币。后来，似乎在上海搞了这个活动，涵涵又打电话给自己，希望他能参加，欧升达没有时间，只是叫副总经理张震铎代表自己去了上海。 “哦，涵涵小姐，对不起。我们在海南见过一面，今天在这里，有些不敢认了。”欧升达抱歉地说。 “我要是男人，如此惊艳的美女绝对会过目不忘的。”廖冰旋笑着调侃着欧升达。 欧升达显出一副无奈的神情，对着涵涵稍微鞠了一躬：“对不起，涵涵小姐，请勿见怪。” 涵涵赶紧回礼：“欧董，千万别这样说，您有什么该道歉的？倒是我，应该早点到升达地产向您当面致谢。只是这一年来行程安排得很紧，一直没有什么机会。正巧今天能在这里遇到，我才有机会当面致谢。”说着，向欧升达深深地鞠了一躬，“我代表山区的小朋友们，谢谢欧董的慷慨。” 廖冰旋眼神复杂地看看欧升达，又看看涵涵，没说话。可是，欧升达感到她的目光里面有种强烈的赞许。 只听她轻叹一声：“欧董，你还是非常具有爱心和社会责任感的。” 声音不高，却让欧升达感到全身都漂浮在舒展的得意中，感觉身体像鸟儿一样轻盈。 “别这样说，我都有些脸红了。”欧升达感到一股灼热从自己的身体里升起，透过每一个毛孔，散发到皮肤的表面。 两个女人对视了一眼，不由得笑了起来。 欧升达更加感到浑身不自在，廖冰旋对涵涵道：“你看，欧董脸红了。” 涵涵抿住嘴，尽量不使自己笑出来。 “涵涵，你最近在忙什么？”欧升达不知道为什么鬼使神差地问了这么一句。 “哦，是这样，我们正筹备一个名人名媛慈善拍卖会，准备筹集一笔款建几所山区小学。”涵涵回答。 “准备什么时候举行？”欧升达问。 “这个月底吧。到时候二位请务必赏光。”涵涵的表情恢复了刚开始的自然。 “一定，一定。”欧升达点着头。 “那二位就不打扰了，你们聊，我去看看朋友。”说完，涵涵飘然而去。 “别那么盯着人家不放，注意点影响。”廖冰旋忽然道。 “是吗？”欧升达被说穿了，有些不自在。 “开玩笑呢，世界上没有什么柳下惠，我理解。这男人啊，活在世界上很重要的就是为了在异性面前展示自己最美丽的羽毛。”话虽然有些刺耳，但是欧升达听出廖冰旋并无恶意。 “觉得我像个色狼？” “跟你开玩笑呢，你千万别当真，升达。”一句升达，立刻将两个人的距离拉得很近。 “旋子，你说得很对，从某种意义上讲，男人奋斗很大一部分是因为女人。如果一个男人不能在女人面前展示自己，那么他的世界一定是灰暗的毫无色彩。” “其实，我们女人也一样，年轻时就是这样，以为世上只有一个最好的男孩子。后来呢？呵呵，后来，时光荏苒，经历的多了，终于忘记了什么是爱。反正后来是知道了这样一句话：结婚前，以为适合自己的男人很少，但结婚后才知道其实很多。”廖冰旋说着，眼睛却盯着别处，似乎感慨颇多。 欧升达心里一动，很想借机发表点什么看法，可是，忽然觉得不妥。毕竟自己刚跟廖冰旋认识，多说无益。一个服务员从身边走过，欧升达又取了两杯鸡尾酒，然后把其中的一杯递给廖冰旋。 廖冰旋笑道：“再喝我就多了。” 欧升达道：“不会，我看你的酒量蛮大的。” 廖冰旋给了欧升达一个标志性的微笑，让他从心底里涌出一种舒畅。不知道怎么了，他特别喜欢看廖冰旋的笑，这笑容的变化是那样的多，如暧暧的光波一样，一下子就能将他感染；又像是一种氛围，在他面前呈现出一个另外的世界，让他沉浸其中，完全忘却了事业和生活中的种种烦恼。 古梦柏不知道什么时候走了过来，静悄悄地站在他们背后，要不是廖冰旋回头看什么，二人完全不知道他的到来。 “你这人怎么像个幽灵似的？吓我一跳。”廖冰旋娇嗔地骂到。 “嘿嘿，我是想偷听一下欧董是不是打你主意。”古梦柏连声轻笑。 “讨厌，你管得着吗？”廖冰旋对他做了个鬼脸。 “我当然管得着，他要是对你不怀好意，我当然有义务提醒你，不要上他的当。”古梦柏笑得很开心。 “我上不上当关你什么事？狗拿耗子。” “欧董，刚才涵涵小姐邀请你参加那个名人名媛爱心慈善晚会了？” Ou Shengda nodded. 古梦柏道：“你是非会员里唯一受到邀请的，我提醒你一下，有一件涵涵小姐自己捐出来的，她曾在中国小姐获奖晚会上穿过的旗袍，你必须拍下来。” “为什么？”廖冰旋问。 古梦柏神秘地一笑：“这个不能说。欧董，你要记住，别的东西你可以不举牌，但是这件旗袍你一定要拍下。拍下以后，晚上我安排个机会，你再把这件旗袍转送给涵涵。这件旗袍对她来说意义非同小可，你如果拍下来，以后你会有意想不到的收获。相信我，没错的。” “你这人总喜欢卖关子，有什么底你就告诉欧董，老这么神神道道的。”廖冰旋口气有些讥讽。 “看看，欧董，我能对你不吃醋吗？你们刚认识一晚上她就这么护着你，我跟他认识二十多年了，她也没这样对我啊。”古梦柏作出一副很委屈的样子。 “算了，旋子，你就别难为古总了，他不说总有不说的道理。做他这行，保护客人隐私那是最起码的。古总，谢谢你的指点，升达不胜感激。”欧升达很真诚地道着谢。 “别客气，应该的。对了，等下还有几个遴选委员从香港赶过来，我叫王主席安排一下，争取今晚有个结果。” 欧升达想了想，看着廖冰旋：“廖总，你还要给张书记准备出国用的东西，时间太晚了，要不你先回去？” 廖冰旋摇摇头：“那怎么能行？两个推荐人都不在你身边，遴选委员要是提出什么刁钻的问题我怕你应付不来，我还是陪着你吧。” “那怎么好意思？”欧升达感到很抱歉。 “没事的。”廖冰旋一句话，把古梦柏的笑容给凝结了片刻。 这是欧升达今晚第二次注意古梦柏的这个表情细节，他相信，古梦柏心里一定是很在意廖冰旋的，说不定以前他们在大学里还有过一段不为人所知的故事呢。 有会所职员过来跟古梦柏低声说了几句什么，古梦柏点点头，回头对二人说：“对不起，VIP别墅有事，少陪。”说完，匆匆离去了。 “你这老同学很忙啊，他说的VIP别墅是怎么回事？”欧升达问。 “有点累了，我们找个位置坐一下吧。”廖冰旋环视四周，找了个角落，两个人坐下来。她望着窗外，海面上黑黑的，只有几点灯光，那应该是路过的船。 “对了，你刚才问VIP别墅是吧？是这样，会所里有两栋别墅是VIP别墅。那里只有少数的会员才有资格进入，而进入那里，必须通过指纹验证才可以。”廖冰旋道。 “这么严格，不是像电影里进入美国某些大公司的实验室那么麻烦吧？”欧升达笑着问。 廖冰旋轻笑了一下说：“倒是没有那么严格，不过这样做，倒是一种身份的象征。能使用那两栋别墅的都是股东会员，消费越多则分红越多。” 欧升达注意到，有个职员走到涵涵那边，跟她说了几句后，她跟着职员也向VIP别墅方向走去了。 他笑着说：“旋子，你说这些很有意思，不过我觉得对于股东们来说，他们绝不会认为自己消费得越多，就能获得越多回报。这种想法像吞食自己尾巴的蛇一样荒唐。” “你在看什么？”廖冰旋回过头，却什么也没看到，因为涵涵的身影已经消失在一扇门的后面了。 “没什么，我只是觉得这里的一切都很新鲜。”欧升达回答。 “这个自然，这里外面看着很低调，里面的一切都很奢华。比如我们手里的杯子，这是意大利纯水晶杯。还有随意摆放的那些装饰品，其实都是价格不菲的艺术珍品。”廖冰旋慢慢地把玩着手里的杯子。 “是这样啊，我说这里感觉怎么如此不同？”欧升达感叹道。 廖冰旋端起杯，自己呷了一口道：“这里的会员分为股东会员和普通会员两类。'股东会员'和'普通会员'不同，'股东会员'的准入要求颇高，须是具有影响力的社会名流，投资入会之后无须支付年费也可享用倶乐部设施和服务，并将在每年获得一定比例的分红；而'普通会员'则需支付年费，并且不能享受公司分红。” “你是什么会员？”欧升达问。 “我是普通会员，你如果能通过，第一年也是普通会员，至于以后，还要看股东会员的投票结果。”廖冰旋静静地看着欧升达，那眼神就像一口没有涟漪的古井，深邃得叫欧升达有一种想探寻深浅的冲动。 “你平时来的多吗？”欧升达问。 “我平时来的并不多，自江很忙，孩子还在上学，所以我很少出来。今天若不是之洋说要来见你，我不会出来的。”廖冰旋淡淡地说道。 “真对不起，耽误了你这么久。”欧升达真诚地端起杯，跟廖冰旋碰了一下。 “又来了，你别这么客气。说实在的，认识你我很高兴。”廖冰旋眼里有点亮光在闪，就像是一颗钻石落到了古井里面。 “我也一样。”欧升达看着她，心里忽然一动，脑子里忽然冒出某种飘来飘去的感想。 王光玉引导着两个男人走过来，其中一个五十多岁，脸色红润，意气风发。另一个鹤发童颜，下巴上长了一颗大大的痣。 王光玉一介绍，欧升达大吃一惊，五十多岁的就是著名的台湾代工大王冷鸿海，而旁边的则是台湾稳坐微电子制造宝座十几年的蹇君博。他们也是倶乐部的遴选委员。 几个人坐了一会儿，冷鸿海只是问了些鹏城房地产的未来走势问题；而蹇君博却跟欧升达聊起了古典诗词，而这些恰恰是欧升达的弱项，好在廖冰旋不时地给他解围。即使是这样，欧升达也觉得自己的表现很蹩脚。 有人给冷鸿海送上来一个漂亮的杯子，里面装满碎冰，旁边放着一杯伏特加和一杯绿色的薄荷酒。冷鸿海先将薄荷酒倒进杯子，然后把伏特加倒在冰块上，用服务员递上来的打火机将酒点燃。冰块上燃起蓝色的火苗，烈火熊熊燃烧，冰块慢慢融化，融入绿色的薄荷酒中，清香扑鼻。 看到欧升达和廖冰旋很好奇，冷鸿海问：“二位要不要试一试？” 廖冰旋摇摇头：“我可不敢。” 倒是欧升达说：“我想，我可以试试。” 冷鸿海给欧升达和自己各倒了一小杯，笑着说：“这酒要一口喝下。”冷鸿海自己先喝掉，看那表情似乎很享受。 欧升达一口喝下，一条热流像一条直线顺着喉咙直达胃里，而他的头像爆炸一样，耳朵也嗡嗡地响起来。 冷鸿海微笑着：“欧董，感觉怎么样？” 欧升达吐了一下舌头：“天哪，太刺激了。不过，我喜欢。” “为什么？”廖冰旋望着他。 “这是勇敢者的酒，男人嘛，总要尝试一些新的东西，这样才能不断地突破自己。”欧升达认真地说。 “哈哈，欧董的性格我喜欢。你这票我投了。”冷鸿海道，然后转身问蹇君博，“你怎么样？别老拿你的长项考别人，有几个人有你那样的修为？你说是不是。” 蹇君博笑了：“尺有所短，寸有所长，欧董也许精力并不在此，老朽也就是随便聊聊，请别介意。” 欧升达谦逊地说：“在蹇老面前，看出升达的愚钝，也许这是大陆这边教育的缺陷吧？我读书时很早就分了文理班，所以我对文学和历史是有缺陷的。” “哈哈，别说这个了，我们俩刚坐游艇出海回来，有点饿了，吃点东西去。欧董，廖总，你们慢慢聊。”冷鸿海适时地结束了谈话。 望着两人离去，王光玉道：“他们的生活才是真正的绅士生活啊！刚才他们说的游艇是冷鸿海自己的，一亿多一艘呢，而他们两个都有私人飞机。”
