Chapter 156

Lin Wei’s game seems to be about winning rate, but the possibility of losing is unlikely. Poker cards are compared with each other, and the winning rate is 50%. Even if Lin Wei is not lucky, there is also a guessing game. Studies have proven that the winning rate of scissors will be higher. It's much higher, because people generally don't like to produce rocks. Rocks are more like defensive, and when playing games, everyone prefers to attack.

If the price doubles, as long as the luck is not extremely bad, there will be no loss.

The temptation of free is a huge attraction that many people find difficult to resist.

Flowers are not a necessity, and everyone is not sensitive to their price. Even if the price doubles, they don’t feel much.

It's just...

it's a good game, but someone comes to disrupt it.

Lin Wei looked at the old British man holding the dog in front of her and couldn't help but ask: "What did you just say?"

The other person smiled very amiably, without a trace of British arrogance on his face: "I said, I choose what you have left. All the flowers, let's play a poker game and decide the winner or lose at once. Wouldn't it be more interesting?"

Lin Wei looked at him, took a deep breath, and cursed in her heart, why did you, an old man, join in the fun?

"Mr. Giles...didn't you say let us solve it ourselves?"

Life or death is decided, are you kidding me?

This is a game of probability, not luck. What else is there to do?

Giles smiled and said: "When I was walking just now, I heard my assistant saying that you were playing games. I was very interested, so I came over to have a look. It is indeed very interesting. Can't I play? I am also a guest, right?"

Yes. What's the meaning?

You are not playing, you are directly breaking the game.

Lin Wei had no choice but to say: "The rules don't allow it. You can only choose three specifications of flowers in this game. Your request does not comply with the rules of the game."

Giles smiled and nodded and said, "Then do you have any other rules?"

Lin Wei looked at him and instinctively felt that this old man was trying to trick her.

The other party wants to bet with her.

Lin Wei thought for a while and added: "Everyone can only play once."

"But I saw the lady just played twice."

Lin Wei immediately changed her mind: "Then you can only play twice..."

"You are doing it for Cartier's business, right?" the old man interrupted her with a smile, and said softly, "Even if you win over Ian, the final choice of whether to sell or not is still mine, right?"

Lin Wei shut up immediately. , I scolded the old man in front of me eight hundred times. He was a wicked old man and had no moral ethics.

After calming down a bit, she first turned around to reassure the other waiting customers, saying that they were temporarily closed, and then took down the cardboard.

Then, she forced a smile: "So which size of flowers do you choose?"

Giles smiled happily and said, "Then 10."

Lin Wei shuffled the cards and slid the cards on the table. , said: "You go first."

"Ladies first."

Lin Wei had no choice but to draw one, and she was lucky, the 8 of spades.

Under Lin Wei's gaze, Giles smiled and pulled out a card... a 9 of hearts.

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment.

"Let's go on," said Giles.

It must be luck, Lin Wei comforted herself and reshuffled the cards.

Next...

4 of clubs - 5 of spades;

J of spades - Q of hearts;

after three rounds, no matter how stupid Lin Wei was, she knew she shouldn't continue playing.

"You're asking for money." Lin Wei frowned.

Giles smiled and said: "The playing cards are yours, and you are the one who shuffles them. How can I get away with it?"

Lin Wei couldn't refute, it was indeed the case, so she could only stare.

She stopped cutting the cards and began to think of countermeasures.

It would definitely not work if the game continued like this, and she couldn't guess what method the other party used.

This man is really not as good as Hunter. Although he has a bad temper, he can say whatever he wants, unlike this old man who is full of playfulness, smiling like a tiger but harboring evil in his heart.

When Giles saw Lin Wei didn't move, he smiled and said: "If Miss Lin doesn't trust me, we can also guess the game. There is no way to fake it."

There is no other way.

Lin Wei had no choice but to listen to him and changed to the guessing game.

Scissors: Rock - lose the first game.

Stone: Cloth - lost the second game.

Stone: Cloth - Lost in the third game.

Cloth: Cloth - draw.

Scissors: Rock - lost in the fifth game.

Lin Wei took a deep breath and stopped again. Why play with this winning rate?

Not only is he good at gambling, but he is also a master of psychology. How could he come from such an annoying old man to deliberately cause trouble for her?

Lin Wei had never been pressed down and beaten like this before.

So infuriating.

Lin Wei's anger surged upwards, her throat was about to burn, but she couldn't get angry.

She has quite a few personal skills, so why didn’t she think of learning two more trades?

Lin Wei looked at the opposite side: "Why, how did you do it?"

Giles leaned on his cane and said: "I liked gambling very much when I was young, and I also had some talent in this area, but then I lost all my fortune. He was hunted by his enemies again and fled to England for many years..."

"Are you not British?"

He obviously spoke with a British accent.

"I'm from California."

"So you can't stand my 'gambling' behavior?"

"I can't stand your using such low-level tactics."

Lin Wei: "..."

Giles said with a smile: "Since you want to take a shortcut, you have to bear the possible backlash."

Lin Wei glanced at the time and saw that there were less than ten minutes left. Even if Giles stopped playing, she would not be able to win now.

She thought for a while, looked at the other party and said, "Then let's play something more advanced. Just as you said, life or death will be determined by betting on all the remaining flowers."

Giles was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "A last-ditch effort? You know your chances of winning are slim."

Who can be blamed?

Lin Wei spread her hands: "Is there any other way I can do it?"

"Many gamblers have lost their money because of this dangerous idea." Giles persuaded.

Lin Wei said: "Probabilistic events cannot be completely attributed to gambling. A fisherman who goes fishing has a probability of encountering a storm, but can he not go to sea because of this? The only thing is to be careful and accumulate experience to reduce the probability of risk, regardless of Believe it or not, I don’t think I’m gambling.”

Lin Wei doesn’t like gambling unless the winning rate is so high that people can ignore the risk.

She never speculated in stocks, but only chose stocks she was optimistic about and held them for the long term. In her last life, she entered the real estate industry and was frightened by the artificially high bubble. Finally, she chose to exit during the golden period when real estate was at its most prosperous.

At that time, many people said she was stupid, but when she couldn't see the future and didn't know the direction of policy, she didn't want to gamble.

It is better to engage in industry with peace of mind and reap what you pay for.

But if there is a high probability of winning, she will also get involved, just like the real estate in Xiangjiang now.

Why not make money if you have money?

At the other end of the long street, Ian's sales were very good. In just one hour, one-third of the shipment volume was achieved. Some people even stopped to watch him arrange flowers.

Guests will also make requests, what kind of bouquets they want, and tell Ian where to place them.

"Do they know the value of this bouquet of flowers? How much does it usually cost to ask your husband to tie flowers for them?"

"Yes, I really envy them. These people are really lucky. Do they know what is in front of them? How great is a man?"

Jin Xin couldn't help but feel sour when he listened to Ian's two subordinates blowing rainbow farts. Are these two flatterers so exaggerated?

Isn’t it just a bouquet of flowers? You just set it with diamonds, that's all, right?

It looks like a rare piece of art in the world.

Jin Xin looked at the second hand on his watch and suddenly shouted: "It's time."

The referee looked at the watch and nodded to indicate the end.

Ian tied the last bouquet in an orderly manner, and his bare fingers were already red from the cold. He presented it to the guests, always elegantly.

He didn't charge for the last order, and the other party thanked him in surprise.

At last count, Ian sold a total of 161 flowers, which is a very good result.

"How much did it sell over there?"

"I don't know yet, let's go and have a look."

Jin Xin was beating his head.

Mr. Lin should be able to do it. She has so many ways and eight hundred tricks.

You should be able to win.

When they looked for it, they were surprised to see Mr. Giles.

He and Lin Wei were talking about something.

Then the two of them looked towards them. Giles's expression was still kind and he smiled like Maitreya Buddha. Lin Wei was also smiling, nothing unusual could be seen.

Jin Xin didn't know about this situation, but the next second, he saw that the pile on the ground obviously had more bouquets than they had left.

He trotted a few steps quickly and came over to ask Yang Zhenfeng, "How is it? What's the result?"

Yang Zhenfeng said, "Can you tell just by looking at it?"

"Congratulations." Lin Wei stretched out her hand towards Ian.

Ian glanced at the remaining flowers on the stall, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you, it's not a shame for you to lose to me."

"Mr. Ian..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a voice behind him. A weak voice -

"...We lost."

Ian's expression changed, he looked at Lin Wei and said coldly: "Are you kidding me?"

"I congratulate you for not having to face this difficult person anymore. Old man," Lin Wei said with a smile, "You should be glad that you escaped."

Giles always had a smile on his face, and he was not angry when Lin Wei said this, and said to Ian: "It's a pity. , In fact, I am more optimistic about yours."

Ian turned sideways, looked at his subordinates, and asked, "What's going on?"

The subordinates told him the whole story. During this process, Ian's expression was very exciting. He looked at the cardboard, and then at the pile of colorful flowers.

He took a deep breath, exhaled the white gas, and said, "Mr. Giles, this is against the rules. You should not get involved. Absolute fairness should be guaranteed."

Giles smiled and said, "You should know , I didn’t change the result.”

“That’s not why you got involved,” Ian said, looking at Lin Wei, “You win this time, but you won’t always be so lucky. You have business in Paris. It’s impossible to take it down.”

After that, he took the people and left.

This group of people were dressed in suits and leather ties, elegant and luxurious, and walked out on the street looking like royal aristocrats.

It's really pleasing to the eye. Lin Wei thinks this picture is very eye-catching.

"He was so angry." Giles looked at Lin Wei, "What a boring guy. But people like this will make our world better, right?"

Lin Wei withdrew her gaze and looked at Giles, Said: "Can we negotiate on the acquisition?"

"I only said to let you solve it yourself, and I didn't say that I would sell it to you." Giles held the dog in one hand and the cane in the other, turned around and said, "I don't If you like someone who can beat me, you are so unlovable."

"What? This person doesn't mean what he says," Jin Xin couldn't help but said angrily.

Lin Wei knew it was not that simple, but after hearing what he said, she was still so angry that she clenched her hands into fists and tried her best to control the urge to use force to solve the problem.

You cannot give up.

Lin Wei took a few steps to catch up with him: "Now I know why you are being chased. You are such an annoying old man."

"Didn't anyone teach you to respect the elderly?"

"You keep your word. An old man who has faith and doesn't play word games or act rogue, Lin Wei retorted.

"If you can buy the Cartier business in France, I will sell the British business to you." Giles gave a solution.

Lin Wei thought for two seconds and said decisively: "No."

A Hunter who didn't want to sell was already a headache, and she didn't want the British business to be put on hold.

We have reached this point, it would be a pity to give up.

"Then forget it."

He couldn't forget it, Lin Wei chased him and said, the two of them went to the store without any result.

Giles asked someone to take the dog away and was about to go upstairs.

Lin Wei asked Jin Xin and the others to wait for her below and followed Giles upstairs.

"You want to sell it anyway, why can't you sell it to me?" "

I want to sell it to the person I like."

"Who do you like? Just that special outfit just now..." Lin Wei paused, then said, "Then you Why should we decide it ourselves and choose the one we like? Since we have chosen to do this, we have to accept the result. This is called accepting defeat."

Giles sat down and the secretary brought him a cup of black tea.

He picked up the teacup and said, "I have this power."

Lin Wei sat across from him and asked, "What would you do if you met someone like yourself when you were young?"

Giles paused for a moment. , looked at Lin Wei.

"You obviously won, but the other party still refuses to pay. Don't you want to beat him?" Lin Wei asked very seriously.

Giles raised his head to face the air, thought seriously for a while, and said, "Yes...".

Lin Wei didn't expect him to say that, so she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This old man is really speechless.

Lin Wei immediately lowered her expression and said, "What exactly are you dissatisfied with about me? Tell me."

Giles took a sip of tea and then said slowly: "Your skin color."

Lin Wei was stunned.

"Things are not as simple as you think. You may not believe it. I am one of the very few people without racial discrimination. I have met many interesting Chinese people in my life. Most of them are hardworking and smart. But these are not enough. Acquisition is easy. It's okay if you have money, but as an Asian, you will label it as low-class. Those customers who originally admired Cartier will choose to give it up. "

Lin Wei didn't say anything. This is indeed a problem, not only now, but also in future generations.

Seeing that Lin Wei didn't speak, Giles asked, "What were you thinking about during our last game?"

Lin Wei moved her eyes away from the cup and looked at Giles: "How can I win against you?

" This person not only has a delicate mind, but also has strong observation and calculation skills. He can not only influence people's judgments, but also see through people's thoughts in a short time.

Therefore, Lin Wei tried to block the opponent's interference and randomly selected numbers to figure out what she should play, but the final result was one draw and one loss.

"I guess you saw my method. You seduced me quietly with the numbers on the playing cards, and I added one digit after your prompting."

Lin Wei played against the opponent in the first round After five attempts, he stopped. On the one hand, he could not continue to lose, and on the other hand, he could not let the other party notice his discovery.

This person was too sensitive and had extremely high quotient. Lin Wei did not dare to let the other party know more about her. She could only make him think that she was putting all her efforts into a desperate situation and using luck to decide the outcome.

"You are indeed a clever girl," said Giles.

Lin Wei accepted the compliment and continued: "Older people tend to be very confident. If you were young, you probably wouldn't make such a mistake."

"You have been attacking my age," Giles said A hint of displeasure finally appeared on his face, "You should try to learn to respect your elders."

"Do you believe it?" Lin Wei looked at him and said, "I am also very old."

Giles met her serious gaze and slowly said Slowly frowned: "This joke is not funny at all."

Lin Wei straightened up and sighed, which was quite a pity. She thought that the keen Giles could see something.

After a while, she said: "No matter how unattainable luxury goods are, they will not break away from the category of products. As long as it is a product, its attributes and underlying logic will not change. My skin color, my age, and even My gender will not be the determining factor in the success or failure of my career. If I can build Herzi, I can build Cartier as well, and I will not make any excuses for myself."

Giles looked at her with an expression on his face. After a moment of hesitation, the girl in front of me had firm and clear eyes, and all her emotions were honestly revealed. Her ambition, her enthusiasm, her determination, she was confident and fearless, convinced and strong. He seemed to see himself when he was young, also so sincere and full of determination to fight against the world.

"What others dislike is what I am proud of. They will not appreciate it. I am not the same as them, but I will definitely let everyone see that I can do my best."

There is no use in dwelling on things that cannot be changed. .

Discrimination has always existed, and all she can do is prove herself.

The difference between people is never because of race or gender, but because of their understanding of the world.

Lin Wei was a little bored during her menstrual period, but at other times she really liked her identity as a woman.

As for her nationality, her vast cultural history is enough for her to be proud of. Who would dislike whom? It would be nice if she didn't discriminate against these fanboys.

Seeing Giles standing up, Lin Wei hurriedly asked, "Are you going to run away if you don't agree?" "

Why run?" Old Man Jia said dissatisfied, "Why don't you let me study it, how much should I sell it for?"

Lin Wei Wei was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "You mean you agreed?"

"It's so noisy, I just said that young people are not stable enough, they yell at the slightest thing," Giles said Although he said sarcastic words, there was always a smile on his face, "If you messed up, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Lin Wei smiled happily, and then shouted downstairs: "Come up."

She twisted her waist happily . Taking the document handed over by Yang Zhenfeng,

"He agreed?" Jin Xin said in surprise.

"Don't you dare agree, you stinky old man."

"I understand Chinese!" came an angry shout from behind.

Lin Wei quickly covered her mouth and smiled at Jin Xin and the others opposite.

They spent three days discussing the contents of the contract.

There are many issues involved in the acquisition, but what Lin Wei is most concerned about is who will help her station here in the future.

If there is no suitable candidate, she can only take charge of it for a while, while reforming, she will look for candidates here.

"I recommend a man to you," said Giles.

"Who?"

Then Lin Wei met Giles' eldest nephew.

A young version of Giles, looking at the other person's tooth-ache smile, Lin Wei could only persuade herself to look away, as there are gains and losses.

...

The news quickly spread back to France.

"It's a pity that I couldn't make it. I don't know how they negotiated it. It seems to have gone smoothly." Qu Zhiheng sighed.

It was so easy, the whole process didn't even take a week.

Ji Chengjun put down the phone and immediately anxious for everyone to have a meeting.

Lin Wei asked her to send out the draft, saying that she would take the initiative and not let Paris lead the way.

"Hertz successfully acquired Cartier in London at a cost of US$10 million, and the next step is to target Paris."

"Focusing on inheritance and innovation, Hertz claims to restore Cartier's royal glory."

"Cartier in London will launch a new series of enchanted jewelry in December to pay tribute to Cartier. The prestigious Magic Clock Watch"

"Three parties stand together, who can continue to write a century-old legend?"

As soon as the news came out, the French fashion circle was shocked.

Herzi acquired Cartier?

Are you kidding me?

Immediately after the initial shock, someone commented, "Cartier - the French battlefield that must not be lost!"

The general idea is that the Chinese are not qualified to take over Cartier. Cartier is the pride of France. Even if it declines, there is no room for the Chinese to get involved.

What a comment that hurts others but does not benefit oneself.

As a result, Jin Xin found a loophole and immediately wrote a report to counter the "uncritical aristocratic spirit and selfish kindness."

A person is about to starve to death. At this time, someone is willing to lend a helping hand, but others insist on stopping him. This person is not one of their compatriots. He would rather let his companions starve to death than accept gifts from others. Is this to satisfy his own selfish desires, or is he trying to kill his companions? In short, people who say this have never stood in Cartier’s position or considered it.

Lin Wei gave them full authority to do this. After having the experience once and making preparations, how could they be equally matched?

She started discussing the design of new jewelry with designers in the UK.

The advertisement has been put out first, and the rest depends on the product.

After staying up for a week, Lin Wei suddenly received a call from Wu Ming.

"Aren't you planning to come back?"

Lin Wei held the phone under her shoulder and said while revising the design draft: "Just another month. I still have some things to deal with here. Do you have anything to do over there? "

Wu Ming can handle ordinary things, so she is not worried.

"There have been some rumors recently."

"What?" Lin Wei asked casually. What rumors has she not seen before?

"There are rumors that you are going bankrupt if you don't pay the bank debt."

Lin Wei said coldly: "Why don't they say I'm dead?"

Is the creditor unable to get interest, or does he want to go beyond the contract and come to collect the debt now? ?

Which fool would believe such outrageous rumors?

Wu Ming explained: "You are not the one affected. This rumor is aimed at Hang Seng. Your bankruptcy will bear the brunt of Hang Seng Bank, which is deeply tied to you."

These depositors have no sense at all.

Lin Wei paused and put down the pen in her hand.

"How is Hengsheng doing now?"

"There are some signs, and they can be suppressed, but I don't know if there will be more outrageous rumors, such as you taking the money and running away."

Grandpa is stupid!

Lin Wei twitched the corner of her mouth: "I'll go back right away. Contact Yang Bingrong for me and tell me that when I get back, if it's convenient, I'll convene a meeting with Hang Seng's management."
