Chapter 57 Cold Joke
Subtitle of this chapter: Life is precious, and it is even more expensive to show off.
"Bang!!!"
Even God knew that the real good show at this Halloween costume party was finally about to begin, so a waiter accidentally dropped the tray in his hand on the ground.
Of course, the old sheriff who ran out of a western film was Louis Baker's grandfather, George Fisher Baker, the current president of the National First Bank of New York, and also served as the chairman of many companies. At this time, he managed the largest number of companies in the United States, and it is said that he is still the third richest person in the United States now.
This lord, JP Morgan and James Stillman, is known as the three giants in the American financial industry in the early 20th century. What is this concept?
What does this mean? What is the 3KKKK, what is the Teutonic Knight, what is the Crescent Sect general, what is the president of Nankai University, what is the daughter of the former prime minister, what is the vice chairman of the parliament... These people combined are not as thick as the old sheriff in front of them!
If he can get his appreciation, his path to master would be a smooth journey...
Hi, what other masters are not masters? Is it useless except for good reputation? If I could become his Chinese agent... well, it's a comprador. After I returned to China, I would still spray whatever I want, and sleep with whichever I want?!
"Grandfather, this is the neo-yuan I mentioned to you."
The third richest man in the United States today did not lose his politeness just because Yuan Yanshu was young and still a Chinese. He actually stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Yuan, I'm very happy to see you."
Our Master Yuan recalled the expression and posture of his leader when he saw his eldest leader. He showed a happy, humble but not flattering and obscene smile on his face. He held his chest and abdomen, trotted for two steps, held the other party's hand and said, "Mr. Baker, I am very happy too. It is my honor to see you."
"Mr. Yuan, please sit down."
"Thank you." Yuan Yan suddenly sat down straight, put his hands on his knees, and stared at Mr. George F. Baker's nose with respect.
Well, although this young oriental man dressed a little weird, he still looks very comfortable. At first glance, he is a well-educated, polite, graceful and educated gentleman. It’s a bit of a pity that he is a Chinese…
However, for a big capitalist like Mr. Baker, there is no such a big taboo in his heart. Only the loser is keen on xenophobia.
"How many years have Mr. Yuan been to the United States?"
"Mr. Baker, I've been in New York for three years."
"Oh, I can't hear it. It's like hearing your accent is like being born here."
"Mr. Baker has won the award. When I was in China, I received the teachings of enthusiastic and professional American missionaries, so I had the opportunity to come to the fertile land of freedom in America. Speaking of which, I would like to thank these devout shepherds."
"So, Mr. Yuan, are you a church member too?"
Our Master Yuan secretly called out terrible, he had acted too much. So should I become the Lamb of God from now on? I have to say that whether it was in the United States in 1920 or back to China in 1920, there are many benefits of believing in foreign religions. For example, it is easier to squeeze into the upper class of American society, such as those high-powered high-ranking Chinese church members after returning to China, such as those cute boys in the choir... Bah, I don’t know how to say this!
But then he thought, he worked hard to travel through the 1920s and became a Chinese with difficulty in hell. The only benefit of being a Chinese these days is that he can legally find a mistress... Well, is he taking a concubine? If he wants to join the foreign religion, he can't even enjoy this only benefit. How could he be willing?
Be honest!
"Before the rooster crowing, St. Peter did not recognize Jesus three times." Yuan Yan smiled slightly and said frankly: "Actually, as a Chinese, I am still worried about whether the chicken is with peanuts."
Both grandfather and grandson were stunned. After three or four seconds, these two people reacted and laughed loudly almost at the same time. The more they laughed, the more they became: "Hahaha, chicken-with-peanuts... Neo, you are really funny. Hahaha..."
"Hahaha, Gong Bao Ji Ding... Very incest listen. Hahaha..."
In fact, this is a cold joke about the famous dish in American Chinese cuisine - spicy-diced-chicken-with-peanuts. Of course, Yuan Yanshu was also using this joke to tactfully deny the identity of Christians.
I have to say that his cold joke is extremely high, and he combines the Bible allusions, his own race, and Kung Paoji Ding into one sentence, and he says it so serious, and it has a bit of a cold-faced joker. No wonder these two Mr. Bakers are overjoyed.
Mr. Baker is a left-wing person, so he doesn't mind that his classmates are not Christians; while Mr. Baker is a big capitalist, so he doesn't care much. On the contrary, the third-rich American man's favor for Master Yuan has increased to that level.
This is because the old fox, whose hair is white on the head and tail, can see the small things.
This Chinese was able to use Bible allusions in a hurry and make up a joke to cleverly resolve the embarrassment, which shows that he was both smart, knowledgeable and quick to react. This is already amazing. However, for Mr. Baker, the above three points are second.
A mogul like him naturally knows what kind of flatterers are like in the world. And chinaman is an uncivilized race without credit or belief. So it is very likely that this young Chinese lie to be a believer in order to please him, but he still insists on his belief.
A large capitalist like Mr. George F. Baker naturally knows such a simple truth that an honest pagan is more trustworthy than most white Christian church members.
Thinking of this, the Wall Street legend didn't talk nonsense. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his eyes, and asked straight in, "Mr. Yuan... Well, can I call you Neo?"
Our Master Yuan naturally knew that this was the result of the increase in favorability, so he happily replied: "Of course."
"Lis said, Neo, you have some unique insights on pension and social security."
Come here, come here, finally come!
Yuan Yan, who had already been prepared, took a deep breath without a trace, and his face showed surprise, joy, shyness, humility, excitement... The "hedonistic demon's flying kiss" was really useful. In short, he made an extremely complex and very likable expression.
Master Yuan's expression was so infectious that even Mr. Baker nodded in his heart again, feeling that this young Chinese was not only smart, but also had the fresh-man freshness of a young man... In short, it was completely different from the Chinese he had met before.
I am looking for a business partner in East Asia who is familiar with the local area and has a pioneering spirit. Although this person is still a little younger, he is really a very suitable candidate if he has learned something.
“Pickup…”
"Your Madam! You're stuck with your mother!! Master Ball, if you have the ability, you will erase me on the spot, otherwise..."
