Lin Chuan and Patrick went back and forth, and the billiard balls clattered on the table.
This was the best opportunity to talk, but Lin Chuan said nothing and just concentrated on playing ball.
Because for billiards enthusiasts, playing the game is very serious and sacred.
To say anything else at this time would be disrespectful to the sport, and Patrick would not be able to continue.
It was precisely because Lin Chuan and Patrick devoted themselves wholeheartedly that these several rounds of billiards were played heartily, with constant laughter, and even the people around them shouted and shouted along.
Finally, there is a competition for the black ball, whoever scores the black ball wins.
Patrick holds the stick, and the angles of the white ball and the black ball are particularly good. If there are no mistakes, the ball will definitely go in.
As a result, Patrick hit the bald shot directly, and the black ball hit the pocket and missed.
Amid the boos from everyone, Patrick smiled helplessly.
Lin Chuan smiled while wiping his gun powder: "It seems that I am luckier today!"
After all, aiming at the black ball is a heavy shot.
Lin Chuan wanted to win the game with a violent shot, but because he used too much force, the black ball circled around the mouth of the bag and rolled back.
It made everyone burst into laughter.
Patrick laughed and wiped the gun powder vigorously.
"You are giving me the ball on purpose, thank you!"
I took aim and took the shot, but as a result, I used less force and the black ball hit the edge of the pocket and stopped moving.
This made Patrick complain with a sullen face: "Why does the black ball never want to go into the pocket today?"
Lin Chuan smiled and said: "Because it is waiting for me!"
This time, Lin Chuan stopped showing off. He aimed at the black ball and gently pushed out the white ball.
There was a banging sound, and the black ball was firmly put into the bag.
Although Patrick lost, he still said happily: "It was really fun to play, but I have to take a break. Sir, let me buy you a drink!"
Lin Chuan readily agreed.
When the two came to the bar, there was actually no good wine, except whiskey and cheap red wine.
Patrick ordered two glasses of whiskey and said to the bearded, fat man at the bar: "My Jack!"
Jack nodded, but remained expressionless as he continued to watch the small TV in the bar.
The two clinked their glasses gently and took a small sip first.
Patrick then laughed and said: "I've been playing with you for so long, and I still don't know your name!"
"Linchuan!"
"Linchuan? Why is this name so familiar?" Patrick blinked in surprise.
Lin Chuan then smiled and said: "Yes, Fire Metal, Mengying Group!"
After the words fell, Patrick slapped his forehead and said excitedly: "That's right, I remembered it. It turns out you are Lin Chuan. It's a great honor to play with you. My name is Patrick. Nice to meet you!"
The two shook hands very formally.
After Patrick learned Lin Chuan's identity, he respected Lin Chuan even more.
He is a real rich man, and even his wife will choose Mengying brand clothes and shoes.
Lin Chuan followed with a smile and said: "Mr. Patrick's skills are still very good. If he played in a professional venue, I think he would be better than now. You know the billiards club called Glass in London, Y country?"
?"
Patrick immediately nodded and said: "Of course I know. It is the best billiards club in the world at present. It is not only professional, but also particularly luxurious. It invested 20 million pounds at the time and can hold professional matches.
I was lucky enough to go to that club last year to watch the world billiards masters’ game, but it’s a pity that I haven’t played billiards in such a good venue!”
Seeing that the topic has been opened, Lin Chuan said very appropriately: "Actually, I also like billiards very much, so I plan to create a billiards club in Xiangdao that is better than Glass.
Every part of the club must be professional, not only must it have a professional bar, luxurious lounge areas, but even the table must be the best in the world, and I plan to name it after you, Mr. Patrick!”
"ah?"
Shocked, Patrick suddenly opened his mouth.
This is really unbelievable.
Not to mention how much benefit it would be to these billiards enthusiasts if Hong Kong had such an advanced, luxurious and professional billiards hall.
Lin Chuan also wants to be named after him, which is a great honor and what every billiards lover dreams of.
But Patrick then thought that he and Lin Chuan had only known each other for less than two hours. How could Lin Chuan do this?
So he said with a smile: "I am very grateful to Mr. Lin Chuan for his kindness, but there is a saying in the East that no reward will be given without merit. You and I have only known each other for less than two hours. This honor makes me a little flattered and I don't dare to
accept!"
Lin Chuan said calmly: "You know the culture of our Eastern country very well, so you should also know that you should not be disrespectful in return. I can give you this billiards club.
But I need a little favor from Mr. Patrick!"
"What do you want?" Patrick's eyes were still a little wary.
"I came to Hong Kong to invest in business. This time I want to build a pharmaceutical factory and a large medical school in Hong Kong. There is currently a lack of land for construction.
But you also know that every inch of land is at a premium in Hong Kong. The land is controlled by real estate developers. If it is auctioned, the price is unacceptably high. A few hectares of land can be sold for 60 million.
I don’t want to be taken advantage of, and I built pharmaceutical factories and medical schools to create welfare for Hong Kong Island and even Country Y. You can definitely enjoy my exclusive medicines first.
If you have the money to buy land, why not build a billiards club or something else? Even if I treat Mr. Patrick to eat Aunt Renduini’s cookies, it’s better than giving it to those real estate developers!”
Patrick finally knew Lin Chuan's intentions.
If Lin Chuan asked for other conditions, Patrick would directly refuse.
But as an avid billiards enthusiast, the conditions offered by Lin Chuan were simply too tempting.
Patrick then said: "I understand what Mr. Lin Chuan means, and I will definitely consider it carefully. Let's leave each other phone numbers first!"
Lin Chuan understood what Patrick meant as soon as he heard it.
If he had the final say, he would have agreed now. He still has to communicate and operate with others.
So Lin Chuan followed with a smile and said: "I also know that the Hong Kong Island Management Department is in great need of funds now. I am willing to provide this sponsorship, and it is public, not private, you know what I mean!"
Patrick nodded immediately, his eyes full of appreciation.
He is indeed a successful businessman, he is really smart.
He then smiled and said: "Yes, I understand, give me some time and I will reply to you as soon as possible!"
