hole in one

"This time, Brother Zhang is really troublesome."

Fang Wenzhuo took out a cigarette, patted one, and passed it to Zhang Ge. Zhang Ge took it, turned it upside down, took a deep breath on his nose, and then said with a smile: "Your current cigarette is also backgammon. Up."

"Brother Zhang doesn't know me yet? It's just a matter of saving face, but this pack of cigarettes, of course, Brother Zhang takes it back and smokes it."

"This won't work, it's fine to suck one of these pandas, this pack..."

"What's wrong with this? It's not good for others. What's wrong with you, Brother Zhang?" He said, and stuffed the pack of cigarettes into Zhang Ge's pocket, "If it weren't for Brother Zhang this time, I would Nothing can be done."

"How can it be as exaggerated as you said? Without me, you are just waiting for a few days. You really think about it, why don't you tell your family?"

"Let them know and worry again. My father is now talking about when he will be able to pay off the debt."

"Isn't there only [-] to [-] left? It's only a few months."

Fang Wenzhuo exhaled smoke and didn't speak. He didn't plan to pay back the [-] to [-] yuan right away. The interest would be paid first, and the money would have to be suppressed. His new company was short of everything, so he had to set up the stall first.Although he got a loan, he planned to buy another car with the money.For a company, the two cars are still a bit flimsy, but they always look a little more imposing, and he can talk better when he is running work.Now he has four lines in his hand, and one car is full. According to his original idea, he wants to pay off the debt first, then save some money, and then wait until Wu Qiang and the others graduate next year to buy a second car. .

He has been working in this industry for almost three years, and he is very clear about the difference between a caring person and a non-caring person.But after traveling to so many places, he also felt a kind of rapid change, especially those big cities. This time he came here like this, and the next time he came, he might be different.

He took a fancy to that business, if he doesn't do it now, it is very likely that others will preempt it.So after several struggles, he still gritted his teeth and set up a freight company. It was still a freight company, but the purpose was for those small transactions.

When he was running freight, from time to time someone asked him to take a duck down jacket or a sweater from here to another place.Acquaintances are naturally free of charge, and some money will be charged if the relationship is not so good.He still remembered that the first item he collected was a plaid sweater, and he charged ten yuan for such a short distance from Liangcheng to the provincial capital.

At that time, he didn't feel much, but after more times, he realized that this is actually a business opportunity.Although the post office has such a business, the delivery time is long, the procedures are troublesome, and the charges are relatively high.And if he can start a faster and more convenient business, it should be very marketable.

Of course, this business is very trivial, and if there are few items, it is good to not lose money in it, let alone profit.But the latter is actually not a problem. For example, he doesn't run the line from Liangcheng to City H, but he can entrust it to others.

The car owner may not pay attention to the business of tens or hundreds of dollars, but the driver is likely to be willing to pay for an extra meal.He has been in this industry for so long, and he has some contacts. The truck driver and the owner have known each other, so the most important thing now is how to get more goods into his hands.

"Let's hire another person. Look at what you've done now."

Fang Wenzhuo smiled: "You are young, when you don't want to suffer now, when you are old, you want to suffer, and you have no capital."

Zhang Ge shook his head: "Money can't be earned, and young people can't afford everything."

Fang Wenzhuo nodded with a smile, but he didn't change his mind. He wanted to hire another driver, but it was also for the service of the new car. As for himself, he still wanted to run when he could.He has a feeling that if he doesn't work hard now, maybe it will be useless to work hard later.He didn't know what Wang Nan was doing, but obviously, he had already run ahead of him. It wasn't that he didn't want Wang Nan to be well, but that he didn't want to be thrown away.

Knowing that he couldn't convince him, Zhang Ge didn't say much anymore, but he thought in his heart that there is indeed a gap between people. I think it's good to earn more than 2000 a month, but this one obviously gets [-]. Also dissatisfied.But that's why he asked his old classmates for help.Aspirant, hardworking, and thoughtful, it would be surprising if such a person could not stand out. Of course, the more important thing is that this person knows that there will be contacts, and if you treat him well, you will definitely be rewarded.

Fang Wenzhuo smoked slowly, thinking that in another three months, he might be able to ask Wang Nan if he wanted to go home with him.

When he thought this way, Wang Nan had already stayed in the imperial capital for ten days and entered the third qualifying round!At this time, snooker did not have much soil in China. Although the country has been supporting it in order to integrate with the international community, the public is not very interested in it.Complicated algorithms, slow pace, not-so-great results, and of course, the promotion of Hong Kong films all make people feel that it is a sport from another world.

Therefore, the media is not very enthusiastic about this, not to mention that this is only a qualifying match. Therefore, although several media have sent reporters, they are just two or three kittens. Many of them themselves are not very good at snooker. I understand, I came here just to look at a result, and then write something random. Anyway, no matter how careful the writing is, I won't give them much space. If there are other incidents, maybe even a block of tofu will be squeezed away.

Therefore, most of those sent here are not very proud of their own newspapers and periodicals. For example, Zhang Jerry, who is still a little unclear why he entered the body newspaper, and will be sent to do it. Interviewing the reporter, he obviously loves animation very much, and he originally applied for an American editor. Well, he has to admit that there are indeed not many places where the American editor is needed in the newspaper.But that can't send him here!The hotel buffet will make him even more unable to control his food intake.Zhang Jerry was very sad to find that he seemed to be a little fatter than before he came here.

"Hey, Fatty." A person sat beside him, "When did you book the ticket?"

"Tomorrow night, let me tell you that you and I are now members of the society, can we not continue the title we had when we were students? If you want, I can call you Mr. Ma. You see, I haven't called you Zhugan for a long time. Is it right?"

"No, I'm going to treat you to crayfish. Also, I think it's kind of you to call me bamboo pole, so forget about Mr. Ma."

Zhang Jerry sighed speechlessly, no longer entangled with the name: "You can ask for it today."

"Not today. You know our studios are open at night. I'll be free tomorrow. If you think it won't work at night, you can do it at noon."

Jerry Zhang felt even more painful: "There is a game here at noon, and there is only a two-hour rest in the middle."

"Then you can leave the day after tomorrow."

"Brother, you thought I was you. You said there was going to be some big news here. I will delay it for a few more days. Today I will interview the parents of this contestant, and tomorrow I will interview the nanny of that contestant. Not only will our boss not have any objections, he will say Maybe I will be given a bonus, but look at the attendance rate, do you think our boss is willing to pay me this fee?"

His classmate looked up, there were hundreds of seats in the audience, except for reporters like Zhang Jerry, who came in for free, serious audience like him, there might not be more than ten of them, And as far as he knows, it seems that the opponents in this match are relatively popular, one is domestic, and the other is also ranked in the world.He doesn't know much about these, and he can't remember the rankings, but he knows that there are fewer people in several other venues.

"Fatty, don't be like this. This time, there is someone from our country who has entered the third round. Maybe he will rush to become a world champion. You will need time and money immediately."

"Four."

"what?"

"In our country, four of them have entered the third round. Two are from City G, the other is from City C, and the other is from Imperial Capital. The one we are going to see right now is Wang Nan. , the place of registration is City G, I don't know the rest."

"Four? Isn't that better, your chances are greater!"

"Brother, I know you want to comfort me, but I still have to say...it's unlikely. It would be good if one of the four of them made it past the third round, especially this Wang Nan. You know his opponent is Who? Bendinck! If it wasn't for his bad luck, he wouldn't have to play this qualifying round at all."

"It doesn't sound too good, what about the other three?"

Jerry Zhang shrugged his shoulders: "It's almost the same. You have to know that those who can make it to the qualifying round are not mediocre players. Moreover, there is a saying in the snooker world that the qualifying round is more difficult than the main match." What are you looking at me like that for?"

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to know so much about snooker."

Jerry Zhang was full of bitterness: "I would rather I didn't understand at all."

The reason why he was sent to do this follow-up interview is because he is one of the few newcomers in their agency who knows a little bit about snooker. The other one who knows something is either in a higher status than him, or there are other popular reports .

"Okay, okay, I've sacrificed my ego to stay with you, so don't complain anymore."

Jerry Zhang squinted at him: "You really can't treat me to crayfish today?"

……

The two said so, and it was game time.At this time, there was no live TV broadcast and no commentary, but when the two appeared on the stage, the reporters at the scene gave applause very politely, and consciously stopped talking.Zhang Jerry glanced enviously at the laptop brought by the reporter in front of him, and then took out his own notebook. No matter what, he always had to memorize something, and this round should be the most exciting of all the competitions.

"In the ninth round of the China Tournament, Chinese player Wang Nan played against England's Bendinke. The 17-year-old young player Wang Nan had a sharp style of play and a fierce attack. In the first two rounds, he eliminated the American player Wall by 20-30 and 20-[-]. As a newcomer to the competition for the first time, Wang Nan's performance in this qualifying round was remarkable, but unfortunately he met England's Bendinke in the third round. Bendinke is currently ranked No. .[-] No. [-], although he was not well known in the past, he is a late bloomer. In the past two years, his ranking has been steadily improving, from No.[-] No. [-] in the previous year to No. [-] No. [-] this year If he can successfully enter the China Open this time and achieve a certain ranking, his ranking should be one step higher."

At this point, he stopped, ready to capture one or two bright spots of Wang Nan. Even if he loses, readers hope to see his own players perform.But when he looked up, he saw that the score was 58:26, Wang Nan was leading, and Wang Nan was playing!

He was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at his watch. It's less than 5 minutes now!

Snapped!

"63."

The referee reported the score in English, Zhang Jerry clenched his fist unconsciously.

"64, 65, 72!"

There was a round of applause at the scene, which was overscored!In the end, Wang Nan won the round with 79.

"Things don't seem to be what you said. I think this young man played well, although I don't know much about it."

At the end of the first round, there was a short break in the middle, Ma Zhugan spoke, and Zhang Jerry nodded: "He played well, but you have to know that this is a nine-round game, and it is only the first round. In the first game, they didn’t feel good, especially these foreigners.”

"why?"

"The jet lag hasn't come back yet. They usually get more energetic at night."

As if to confirm his sentence, Bendinke won the second and third rounds with 83 points, but in the fourth round, Wang Nan pulled it back.In the fifth round, after a bit of friction between the two, Bendinck finally took it down.

So far, Bendinck has achieved three victories, and if he wins one more game, he will be able to get the match point, and by that time, his winning percentage will exceed 80.00%!

"See." After an hour, there was a long break, Zhang Jerry and his classmates were smoking outside, "There are still four rounds, but it is likely to be finished in two rounds, you are really not prepared Invite me today?"

Ma Zhugan patted his stomach: "Just think of me as urging you to lose weight."

Jerry Zhang looked at him sadly: "Do you know what the cruelest thing in the world is? That is, you told me that there are crayfish but you didn't invite me to eat them."

"Okay, let me tell you one more cruel thing, that is, I can only watch one game with you at most. After a while, there will be a traffic jam. The time is almost up, let's go in."

"Oh, no—"

Zhang Jerui cooperated and gave an exaggerated scream, and walked back together with Ma Zhugan. At this time, they were not very hopeful about the next game. Wang Nan's performance was good, but that's it, Zhang Jerui I have already thought out an excuse for him: "The Chinese player Wang Nan has sharp shots, but he lacks experience after all. In the end, he got angry in the third round and failed to reach the main match."

Yes, he thought so, and so did many people, including Bendinck. He had to admit that the little boy on the opposite side played well, but he was worse than him.
