Chapter 277 Chapter 276, Wealth and Honor Are Like Clouds to Me (4K)

In the next few days, Lin Chu was still immersed in traveling and sightseeing.

Hiking in alpine meadows.

Soak in the wild hot springs.

Burning incense at Jiuzu Mountain.

Eat a local pig-killing feast...

There was no special encounter, just a leisurely and empty feeling.

Sit and watch the wind, flowers, snow, moon, and clouds rolling and unrolling.

I sleep after eating and play after waking up. I am very carefree.

After a few days, Lin Chu exuded a lazy temperament from the inside out.

I have stubble but I'm too lazy to shave.

Compared with friends in Pengcheng, these are two completely different living conditions.

In various groups in Pengcheng, including the Tongxin Youth Association group, my core group of friends, and the friend circles of many friends I met before, everyone is discussing the economic situation and showing stock profit charts...

In short, it's all about working hard for a few pieces of silver.

Unlike myself, an idle person.

"I'm telling you, the gift boxes you ordered have all been shipped out. I've checked them all. Uncle Duan gave me 5 points as a kickback, a total of 210 million. How do you distribute this money? You have the final say."

The day before National Day, Lin Chu received a message from Bai Weiwei.

Ten thousand gift boxes were prepared for employees. The unit price was not low, 4200 per person, with a total price of 4200 million.

Lin Chu did not deliberately lower the price. From tea to silver pot and ham, cheap goods are not good. At this price, the quality must be online and not too bad.

Duan Wuzhuang was quite generous and gave her five points.

Bai Weiwei is also quite "sensible". She is well versed in certain social rules and even knows how to make her own allocation.

"Wealth and honor are like floating clouds to me."

Lin Chu replied briefly without any extra words. This amount of money really didn't matter to him.

When Bai Weiwei saw these words, she pursed her lips and was unable to complain.

But it is also a bit confusing.

I am not so noble that I don't care about worldly things, but I have received such a great favor and such a large sum of money for no reason...

But if something really happened between him and me, it would be quite inappropriate. What is this?
Selling yourself?
Soft hands.

Guilty.

This person... is so annoying!
Are you testing me with this?

"Then thank you boss."

she replied.

Lin Chu stared at the message for a few seconds, did not reply, and shook his head and smiled.

So be it.

These past two days, I would occasionally think of the roof where we sheltered from the rain together, but what I thought about more was that afternoon when we chatted by the Erhai Lake.

A few days ago, when I was walking out hand in hand with Qiuqiu, I happened to meet Bai Weiwei. We greeted each other, but I didn't care and just greeted her with a smile. However, she looked a little embarrassed and unnatural.

The receptionist at the B&B seemed to be very unhappy with his "scumbag behavior" and his attitude had been much worse in the past two days.

Quite silly.

But for me, it doesn’t matter.

The old man figured this out thousands of years ago - if you are close to someone, you will be disrespectful; if you are far away from someone, they will complain.

That night.

Lin Chu checked out of the room, said goodbye to Qiuqiu, gave her some money, and then they parted ways, one person and one dog, and headed for the next city, Lijiang.

The unknown scenery is at the next stop.

Like an untied boat.

The company had already gone on holiday. Lu Ming and Liu Junfeng chatted in the group, saying that they would come to see him and then go back together on the 6th, but Lin Chu still decisively refused.

During this period of time, you have your own freedom, you can even say it is a time for spiritual practice, but since you are in this worldly world, they should stay out of your way.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a very beautiful scenery, but it is already late autumn and even in a down jacket, I am still shivering with cold.

There are many tourists and the experience is not very good.

A person's state of mind is determined by the books he has read, the roads he has walked, the money he has earned, the relationships he has had, and the life he lives day after day.

Perhaps it was because the sky was low and the mountains were high on the plateau, and it was so remote and vast, Lin Chu felt that his heart was becoming more and more calm and compassionate.

A layer of skin was shed and some new flesh grew.

There are still a few days before the temporary return on the 6th, and because of the holiday, there are more and more people in the ancient city, and the experience is not good, so I drove and continued to go farther.

Tiger Leaping Gorge is in the dry season, so we didn't see the majestic yellow turbulence.

It is already very cold in Shangri-La. Even the dogs can hardly bear it and sneak into their own beds at night.

I experienced a hike that lasted more than ten hours in Yubeng, all by myself.

Camping in a tent in the mountains at night is somewhat dangerous, but it is also exciting. You will feel sore in your back when you wake up in the morning.

I originally wanted to go to Haba Snow Mountain and Antarctic Luo, but unfortunately it is not the right time now and there are no good sights to see.

There was too little time.

On the afternoon of the 5th, Lin Chu returned to Lijiang.

The car was parked at the airport and then we boarded the flight back to Pengcheng.

Looking down at the ground from the sky, thinking about the path he had taken during this period of time, Lin Chu just smiled.

It's quite troublesome.

But it's fun.

However, winter is still more suitable for going to the seaside or the southern hemisphere.

It's uncomfortable to stay in a cold place.

Unless it's for skiing.

That night when I was camping in the mountains, before I went to sleep, I suddenly thought of my mother who had passed away many years ago.

If she were still alive and saw the present day, I wonder how happy she would be...

But she should be able to see it, right?

Among the countless stars in the night sky, there is always one that belongs to her.

From the perspective of the stars, you can see everything.

……

It was around ten o'clock in the evening when I returned to Pengcheng. Gu Jiayan came to pick me up at the airport, so I informed her.

Perhaps to show some sense of ritual, she even brought a bouquet of flowers, bright red roses. Such an action seemed to make her feel a little embarrassed. Not only did she wear sunglasses, but she also looked left and right, as if she was afraid of running into some acquaintances and being discovered.

Lin Chu walked out of the airport passage and saw her posture. He couldn't help but smile. He took the flowers and went to the parking lot together. After getting in the car, Gu Jiayan relaxed visibly.

This girl is strange.

Even though they had already had physical intimacy and sex, she still seemed a little reserved, and viewed herself as a little assistant rather than a lover.

Not flirty at all.

"You're tanned."

Looking at Lin Chu who was sitting in the passenger seat, Gu Jiayan smiled softly.

"The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, so it's good to have dark spots, because they can help you get a tan."

Lin Chu smiled calmly.

"A lot of things have happened in the company recently. President Liu has asked two people to come over, one executive vice president and one financial vice president... I feel their abilities are OK, and there hasn't been any trouble in the company."

"Every day there are a lot of people who come to see you, reporters, your fans, anchors who come because of your reputation, and all kinds of random people."

"Someone from the Hurun Wealth List came once."

"There is also a man named Lu Dahai who came several times. The first time he came, he brought his brother and many gifts, and also presented a banner. The media reported this incident."

"Also... the foundation's official account received a donation a few days ago. The account shows that it was from Dali. The donor is Bai Weiwei, and she donated a total of 210 million. It should also be related to you."

Gu Jiayan kept talking about her recent situation. These were the things she felt it necessary to tell Lin Chu.

Lin Chu's eyes were slightly startled.

This……

I didn't expect that.

She is quite noble.

As an organization that can accept public donations, the LC Foundation's account is naturally public. Bai Weiwei...

"Got it." Lin Chu rolled down the car window, silently lit a cigarette, and blew the smoke into the hazy and prosperous night sky of the entire city.

"So... where are we going now?"

Gu Jiayan felt that Lin Chu seemed a little unhappy, but he didn't ask much, just asked softly.

"I'll make a call."

Lin Chu took out his cell phone and called Li Ziming and Xin Fu respectively to confirm that they were both at the club. Then he said, "Let's go to the club."

On the way, I couldn't help but think of the girl's blushing and crying appearance.

……

Knowing that Lin Chu was back, Li Ziming and Xin Fu from the LC club quickly got ready.

I have been working non-stop these days.

Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and originally, the two had no plans to go back tonight.

Golf players from all over the country, top amateur players, media, celebrity guests, and leaders of relevant departments arrived in a group today and were accommodated at LC Golf Club and Mission Hills respectively.

This open tournament is the most important public event since the club changed its name, and it must not be a mess.

Obviously, Lin Chu attaches great importance to this.

All came back directly.

They didn't know what Lin Chu was doing during this period. They knew for sure that he went out, but they didn't quite believe that he had dropped everything to travel. They always felt that he might have other purposes.

Which boss would go out traveling at this critical moment?

There must be something more important.

But Lin Chu didn't say anything, so it was naturally inconvenient for them to ask more questions.

Moreover, for Lin Chu, tomorrow's ceremony is more of a formality.

Everything else had already been arranged.

It's past eleven o'clock in the evening.

When Lin Chu arrived at the entrance of the club, he was shocked to find that the entire club was decorated with lights and looked particularly grand. The advertising signs of various sponsors were all flashing brightly, and it did look quite grand.

Li Ziming and Xin Fu had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw Lin Chu coming, they quickly took small steps forward and opened the car door.

"Boss Lin, you're back."

"Boss Lin, Secretary Gu."

Nodding, Lin Chu looked calm: "How are the preparations going now? Is everything alright?"

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged."

"The opening ceremony will begin at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. After the opening ceremony, the opening match will begin."

Xinfu said with a smile, his voice sounding a little hoarse.

In recent times, he has been communicating and coordinating everything, and his lips are almost worn out.

Lin Chu nodded and smiled.

"Okay, you've worked hard during this period, so when December is over, you can take a break and have a good rest."

"It's part of my job, so it's not that hard. This open tournament, plus the old friend tournament, has really helped us spread our reputation. The number of members has increased dramatically during this period. This month, we made 1.3 million yuan in membership fees alone."

"I got advertising endorsements from 13 companies, with a total income of 8900 million. If the retail side hadn't asked for title endorsements, I would have been able to break through a small goal."

"However, due to the high prize money, we cannot break even for the time being. Mr. Xin and I estimated that even with the cooperation with Mission Hills, excluding them, our net expenditure for this tournament will reach about 5 million yuan."

Li Ziming said in a deep voice, with a hint of worry in his tone.

This kind of competition is just a loss-making business.

Although it is definitely beneficial to the club in the long run, its intangible assets and brand effects will be greatly enhanced.

But in the short term, the cash flow on the books is too much of a loss.

If it is held every year, it means that there will be losses every year.

This business model is completely doomed.

Without high bonuses, there would be no famous players, and without famous players, there would be no advertising effect and endorsements...

However, with the high bonuses and various expenses, there is almost no possibility of making a profit even if the club's membership increases.

Many large-scale sports events of this kind are facing this dilemma, not just LC, and not just golf.

You can't let the boss get a blood transfusion every year, right?
Hearing these words, Lin Chu glanced at Li Ziming and said, "Let's finish this session first and wait until the final revenue and cost are calculated."

"The group has no shortage of this little money. The club's brand image will naturally be paid for by the group as a whole."

On the surface, this is indeed not a good business.

It’s just that there is an information gap between me and them, and I get rebates.

Of course, the reason why Li Ziming was so worried was mainly because it was determined in the previous meeting that the four subsidiaries would be responsible for their own profits and losses. If they made a profit, in addition to handing over a part to the group, they would get the rest as dividends.

He insisted on organizing an open tournament that would lose money but gain publicity, which actually harmed his actual interests.

Come to think of it, it’s quite interesting.

There is a deviation of interests between the overall and the local.

However, at this stage, Li Ziming probably wouldn't dare to say much.

After all, he had been involved in corruption before and I had made it clear to him, so now he is "making up for his crime while serving his sentence".

now.

Listening to the conversation between Lin Chu and Mr. Li, Xin Fu wisely did not interrupt.

The sales department’s income commission is only strongly related to membership sales. When a membership is sold, the sales department will receive its own commission.

The interests of the sales department and the interests of the club are another relationship between the part and the whole.

Lin Chu glanced at the two of them and thought about the situation, finding it more and more interesting.

Li Ziming has now become a "sandwich".

but.

This current situation...I don’t want to adjust it for the time being.

The plate is big, so this situation is inevitable and normal.

……

The next morning.

The first LC Mission Hills Professional Golf Gold Award Open officially opened.

The opening ceremony was held at Stadium No. 1. When Lin Chu arrived, it was already packed with people, and the atmosphere was grand and lively.

He was in the middle of the stage, with his supervisor on his left, and Zhu Yizhen and Lin Chu on his right... He swept his eyes over the crowd, both on the stage and off.

Leaders of relevant competent departments.

Entrepreneurs from all walks of life.

Big star.

Professional player.

Media, journalists.

The club's customers.

Audience.

And my friends...

At this moment, the crowd can be seen clearly and distinctly, like a large and complex ecosystem, a small society.

And at this moment, to some extent, it is also the first time that I have entered the field of vision of orthodox public opinion.

Live streaming can hardly be considered “orthodox”, it can only be considered entertainment.

The salute roared.
