Chapter 521: Being a Guest



Reinhardt, who originally wanted to drive himself, saw that Fang Lang had already started to close the car door, so he walked to the passenger seat without hesitation, opened the door and got in.

Seeing Reinhardt get in the car, Fang Lang did not hesitate, directly shifted gears and started, slowly driving the car out of the parking area.

Of course the guards didn't dare to get in Fang Lang's car. They hurriedly looked for a new car parked on the side, pulled the driver who came with the car out of the car, and drove themselves to follow Fang Lang's footsteps.

There was chaos in the parking lot for a while.

Fortunately, Fang Lang did not drive away. Instead, he circled his private plane on the tarmac at the airport for a few times, and even drove the car off the runway and had fun on the grass nearby.

Unfortunately, the road conditions here are too smooth, and the off-road vehicle cannot fully bring out its performance. In the end, Fang Lang had no choice but to give up.

Reinhardt, who was sitting next to him, seemed to see that Fang Lang was still unsatisfied, and said with a chuckle:

"I'll take you to our country estate tomorrow so you can have a thorough test. What do you think?"

Fang Lang turned around and glanced at the other party, realizing that the other party also wanted to drive the car to the wild to test it. He smiled and did not expose him.

...

...

"No problem. Let's find a wild environment tomorrow to test the performance of this car."

After saying that, he turned the car around and drove back to the Henderson couple's car, smiled a little embarrassedly and said:

"Uncle Henderson, I'm so sorry to have you take effect!"

Fate Henderson, who was sitting in the back seat of a similar SUV, laughed and said:

"Haha...it's okay! We are young people! It's normal. If I were a few years younger, I would also like to go out for a drive like you guys.

Moreover, this car is really very good. When I came here today, I also experienced it myself.

If it can be officially mass-produced, I would like to persuade the Navy Department to purchase a batch as a military vehicle!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Lang's expression changed. If this was true, it would be great news for his Aston Martin company!

"Really? Thank you very much, Uncle Henderson."

Mrs. Henderson, who was standing by, saw a few people sitting in the car and chatting through the window, and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Fang has come here on a long flight and is already exhausted. Let's not chat here. Let's take Fang home to eat and rest first."

Seeing this, Fit Henderson could only shrug at Fang Lang, indicating that since his wife had spoken, he had no choice but to obey.

Fang Lang laughed and said to Mrs. Henderson:

"Auntie is right! Let's get home first!"

Then he winked at Reinhardt, signaling him to show the way.

Seeing this, Reinhardt shrugged helplessly.

Next, a long convoy slowly drove out of the London airport and headed towards the Henderson family's estate in the suburbs of London.

Fang Lang, who followed the convoy through the streets from time to time, discovered that the streets of London were now much better than the dilapidated scene he had seen last time. The houses that had been destroyed by the bombing had been completely restored.

It was as if the scars left by the war had begun to heal themselves.

The mood of the pedestrians on the street also seemed to have improved greatly, and various cars were parked on both sides of the road.

Although it seemed that the British economy had begun to recover, Fang Lang could still see homeless people in the alleys between some houses.

Even when passing by a building, Fang Lang found a long queue outside the building. After asking Reinhardt, he learned that this was the London Relief Department, which was responsible for distributing free food to the poor and unemployed people.

Clearly, Britain had never truly recovered from the trauma of the war.

At the same time, Fang Lang was also very clear in his mind that George Marshall had publicly proposed that the European people should unite and start planning a European reconstruction plan.

That means that Europe’s opportunity has arrived and Europe will soon see rapid development. Our company will also see rapid development.

The convoy stopped and started along the way, passed through the city of London, and stopped at an estate in the suburbs.

At this moment, more than a dozen men and women dressed as servants were standing at the door of the manor.

The car in front slowly stopped, and the gray-haired butler politely stepped forward and opened the door. Fit Henderson and Mrs. Henderson slowly got out of the car.

After the vehicle drove away, the Hendersons stood there waiting for Fang Lang's vehicle to come up.

According to the habit Fang Lang developed in his previous life, he was ready to find a parking space to park the car and then walk into the manor, but now the Henderson couple were obviously standing at the door waiting for him.

He couldn't drive forward any further.

I had no choice but to park the car in front of the Hendersons and push the door open to get out.

"Fang, welcome to my home!"

Fit Henderson appeared very gentlemanly as he spread out his left hand, motioning Fang Lang to come in.

This gentlemanly etiquette made Fang Lang feel a little uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and be polite to the other party before following him into the house.

On the left side of the house was a huge reception area. Led by Fit Henderson, Fang Lang went to the reception area and sat down.

As soon as he sat down on the luxurious European-style sofa, a servant poured Fang Lang a cup of black tea and placed exquisite snacks on the coffee table.

"Uncle Henderson, Reinhardt and I are good brothers. You don't have to be too polite to me."

After saying that, he glanced at Reinhart Henderson beside him, but the boy just shrugged and gave Fang Lang a helpless look, which made Fang Lang very angry.

Fang Lang guessed that Fit Henderson should have some traditional British aristocratic habits. He would probably feel it was very rude if he wanted the other party to treat him like an ordinary family.

As if he noticed that Fang Lang was feeling a little uncomfortable, Fit Henderson smiled, waved to the butler beside him, signaling them to leave, and sat down on the sofa next to Fang Lang.

"Fang, you are a friend of Reinhardt, and it is an honor for our family to have you as a guest.

As a landlord, I must do my best to be a good host! "

After saying that, he pointed at the black tea in front of Fang Lang, motioning Fang Lang to drink the tea.

Seeing this, Fang Lang was speechless and could only follow the host's wishes and pick up the black tea and take a sip.

"Uncle Henderson, I'm very happy to be invited by Reinhardt to visit your home this time! I brought some gifts for you and Auntie, I hope you like them."

After saying this, he gestured to Qi Qingshan who was standing behind him.

Qi Qingshan nodded, walked to the door and nodded to the two guards. Soon two people came with some gifts and placed them on the coffee table next to the sofa.

Because there were so many gifts, it was impossible for Fit Henderson to open each one in front of Fang Lang.

He just picked up a box of cigars and said:

“Thank you for the gift, cigars are my favorite!

As far as I know, Good Luck brand cigarettes are very popular in the military, but I didn't expect there is also this brand of cigars. I must try how it tastes. "

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly. Good Luck Cigarettes were his first business and he made his fortune with this business. Fang Lang didn't find it strange at all that Fit Henderson had heard of Good Luck Cigarettes.

After all, the main consumer group of Good Luck cigarettes in the early days was soldiers.

“Haha…Uncle Henderson, rest assured, our Good Luck cigar has three flavors. You will definitely find the cigar that suits your taste best.

If you like it, you can tell me directly and I will ask the Good Luck Factory to send it to you."

"Oh! Then I won't be polite!"

Hearing Fang Lang's words, Fit Henderson opened the cigar box with great interest, took out one of the cigars, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and soon he showed an intoxicated expression.

From this Fang Lang could tell that Uncle Fit Henderson really loved cigars, and the intoxicated expression on his face was obviously not a lie.

Mrs. Henderson, who was standing by, smiled slightly when she saw her husband's expression and said to Fit Henderson:

"Good Luck Cigarettes are Fang Lang's business. If you have tried cigars and think they are good, you can help Fang Lang promote them."

These words surprised Fit Henderson. As the Chief of Staff of the British Royal Navy, he was usually very busy with official duties, so he seldom participated in the family business.

Mrs. Henderson, on the other hand, was in charge of the family business and had cooperation with Fang Lang's Global Group. She also knew about Aston Martin's actions such as building a factory in Brazil after being acquired by Fang Lang.

Naturally, I have a general understanding of the Fang Lang family's business.

What's more, it was actually Mrs. Henderson who instigated Reinhardt to invite Fang Lang to come to the UK.

"Oh! Good Luck Cigarettes are Fang Lang's property? This is really surprising.

In that case, I will definitely help you promote your Good Luck cigars in the UK."

Fang Lang didn't care about this. Although the British upper aristocracy was indeed one of the main consumer groups of cigars, Fang Lang came here to give cigars as a gift, not to ask for their help in promoting it.

However, since the other party had already taken the initiative to bring it up, he couldn't continue to refuse, so he could only smile and nod:

“Then I would like to thank Uncle Henderson here first.

However, there is no rush. The most important thing is that you, uncle, try it and see if it suits your taste.

Once you have tried it and find it is really good, it will not be too late to recommend it to your friends.”

Fit Henderson was not polite, he took out a cigar cutter and cut off the cigar head, then started to light the cigar. He held the cigar in his left hand and the lighter in his right hand, which kept burning at a 45-degree angle. The whole action looked pleasing to the eye.

Obviously, this is a heavy smoker.

After the cigar was lit, he couldn't wait to take a deep breath, then closed his eyes and savored it before slowly exhaling.

When he opened his eyes again, his entire eyes were glowing.

"Hmm! There is a light milky aroma, and a hint of sweetness between the lips and teeth. This taste is so special. How to describe it?

It feels like being in love! It’s great and I love it. ”

After saying that, he turned to look at Mrs. Henderson beside him and said:

"I think we should organize a cigar tasting the day after tomorrow, invite all our friends over, and introduce a few more friends to Fang."

Mrs. Henderson's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said without hesitation:

"Yes! If Fang Lang has no objection, I will arrange for someone to prepare it right away."

Fang Lang didn't have any special feelings when he heard the conversation between the two. He also had no objection to knowing a few of the Henderson couple's friends.

After all, with Fit Henderson's identity, his friends must be no simple people, although they will not help his position in the Brazilian military.

But maybe it could help Fangyuan Group or Global Group to expand in Britain and its colonies.

“I certainly have no objection.

But this time, I only brought some cigars as gifts, so if I want to organize a tasting, I am worried that I don’t have enough.”

Hearing this, Fit Henderson waved his hand indifferently and said:

"It doesn't matter. I'm only inviting some close friends. The cigars you gave me are more than enough."

Seeing this, Fang Lang stopped refusing and said with a smile on his face:

“Thank you so much, Uncle Henderson. I will ask Good Luck Company to quickly arrange for someone to open a special Good Luck cigar store in London.

If I encounter any problems with the opening procedures, I hope Uncle Henderson can help me."
