Chapter 915 Are you afraid?

  In the cafeteria, seeing the dazzling array of food, Leader Geng and others couldn't help swallowing secretly.

  Although the living standard has improved in the past two years, it has not reached the level of eating meat every meal.

  It’s like the most common bread, usually in China, it’s not something you can eat just because you want it.

  Lu writers and Gao Wenxue are better. After all, they have lived in England for a while and are no strangers to Western food.

   Boban also did his duty, introducing these foods and how to match them.

  Seeing that everyone's dinner plates were piled up like a hill, Boban reminded Leader Geng in a low voice: they can add more to the buffet at any time, and it would be impolite to leave too much.

   "It's okay, I can eat it." Leader Geng replied, this is not enough, mainly because the dinner plate is a bit too small.

  After choosing the food, everyone sat down at the table and began to eat.

  Before they came out, they had been trained, and everyone understood the basic dining etiquette, so there were no jokes about picking up the wrong knife and fork.

   It was the peak meal time in the evening, so there were quite a lot of people in the restaurant. Professor Merton, along with the two award winners, came to the restaurant.

  They were going to order food in a separate small restaurant, but Merton found Writer Lu and his party, and immediately became angry.

  The one who was squeezed out by Liu Qingshan just now couldn’t step down. Faced with so many media, Merton could only bite the bullet and promised to donate the bonus to charity.

  He has written books over the years, and together with the income from investing in the stock market, he has only accumulated more than five million U.S. dollars. He donated all the bonuses at once, and he can't help but feel a little distressed.

   And all of this is thanks to Liu Qingshan. Of course, Merton's narrow-mindedness cannot swallow this breath.

  Seeing the mountains of meals on the dining table, Merton sneered twice: "Look, it's like a group of refugees. It really embarrasses us winners."

   A professor named William, who is also an award winner, saw his companion being so rude, so he gently pulled Merton to signal him not to cause trouble.

  Merton came here to find trouble, so he continued to sarcasm: "It seems that your country is really poor. You came here to improve your life, right?"

   Hearing this foreigner's nagging, it must not be a good thing, so Writer Lu asked the translator.

  After the translator relayed it, everyone couldn't help but get angry: We have a big appetite, what does it have to do with you?

   "I ate well, but a fly came and affected my appetite." Leader Geng was very dissatisfied, and he didn't say anything nice.

  Writer Lu put down the tableware: "Mr. Merton, is it your self-cultivation and demeanor to disturb others' meals?"

   Companion William bowed to apologize, and then dragged Merton to leave, but Merton refused to move:

  "Isn't what I'm stating the truth? It's embarrassing for a group of country bumpkins who haven't seen the world to come out of a backward country, isn't it?"

   This completely annoyed Writer Lu and the others, and Leader Geng, ignoring any international influence, started arguing with the other party.

  Although he is a bit bureaucratic, he is in a foreign country, but he does not allow people to insult his motherland.

  At this time, all things such as taking the overall situation into consideration and paying attention to the impact are all ignored.

   There was a quarrel in the restaurant, and both parties were winners, which immediately attracted people's attention.

   There are also quite a few reporters who are dining here. Seeing this, they hurried up to join in the fun. If the winners fight, it will definitely be big news.

  The language barrier between the two sides, and the quarrel has to go through a translator, which feels a bit awkward.

  At this moment, Liu Qingshan came in a hurry. When he saw Professor Merton, he knew that the old guy was looking for trouble.

  Since you are old and disrespectful, you don’t have to get used to it. Liu Qingshan immediately replaced the angry Leader Geng and Writer Lu:

   "It turned out to be Professor Merton. What do you think, Mr. Professor?"

  Finally seeing the real owner, Professor Merton became even more enthusiastic, pointing to the hill-like food on the table: "Look, everyone, it is shameful to waste food."

   "We haven't finished eating, how can we waste it, I promise to eat clean."

   Leader Geng finished speaking, stuffed a large piece of bread into his mouth, and chewed angrily.

   "Haha, it's delicious, haven't you eaten it in your country?"

  Professor Merton laughed out loud. This guy is a typical representative of the kind who wears colored glasses.

   Such people are not rare in the Western world.

  So some people really echoed and laughed together.

   This laughter was so piercing to Liu Qingshan and others.

  Liu Qingshan shook his head. In the eyes of many people in developed countries, the current China is synonymous with poverty and backwardness.

  That's why they have a sense of superiority, but this does not mean that you can trample on the dignity of others at will.

  The so-called civilized people in the West are actually not very civilized. Behind their civilized masks, there are also many ugly faces hidden.

  Liu Qingshan looked around for a week, knowing that at this time, he must not give in, not only for themselves, but also for the country they represent behind them.

  Once a person leaves the motherland, what you do represents your motherland.

   With his force, he can kick an old guy like Merton away with just a light kick, but he can't do that.

   With this kick, he will become the target of foreign media criticism.

  The more this kind of moment, Liu Qingshan became calmer. He raised his hand to stop the angry Writer Lu and Gao Wenxue and others, and then stared at Merton coldly:

   "Sir, everyone is a civilized person, so there is no need to quarrel. I have a proposal here. I wonder if Mr. Professor is interested?"

   Of course, Merton will not back down. Originally, his intention was to anger these Chinese people. It is best to create a big conflict, and then use the media to discredit each other.

   But now it seems that this plan seems a little unworkable. The young man in front of him is too calm to give him such a chance.

   So Merton nodded: "Maybe let's talk about it."

"Since Professor Merton is an expert in investment, let's make a bet. We all take out a sum of money and choose stocks to invest in. We will see the result after a year. Whoever makes more profits is the winner, and the winner is natural. Take it all."

   There was a smile on the corner of Liu Qingshan's mouth. Compared with the other party, he behaved more like a gentleman.

  Since this Professor Merton has the deepest research on investment and stocks, and has won an award for it, the best way to attack the opponent is to defeat him in the field he is good at.

   Writer Lu and Gao Xuexue, who were familiar with Liu Qingshan, quickly became calm.

  Anyway, in their memory, Liu Qingshan seems to have never lost a bet with others.

   "Haha, young man, you are very courageous, but don't you seem a bit overwhelmed when you compare your investment with an investment expert?"

  Merton said it firmly, but felt a little guilty in his heart.

  Of course he is familiar with Liu Qingshan, knowing that this kid made his fortune by relying on the stock market.

  In the big stock market crash that year, he almost lost all his money, and he still has lingering fears.

  Because of this, he was jealous of Liu Qingshan in his heart. As for Professor Peter, it was just an excuse.

  Liu Qingshan was still not in a hurry: "I just like challenges. How about it, Professor Merton, are you afraid?"

  The corners of Merton's eyes also twitched twice. On such an eye-catching occasion, if he was cowardly, he would probably be the subject of ridicule in tomorrow's newspaper.

   In this situation, he cannot back down.

  Liu Qingshan was able to see exactly this point and forced the other party to submit.

   "Okay, let's invest one million dollars each, but we need to find a third-party agency company so that no one can do anything."

  Professor Merton gritted his teeth and finally chose to fight.

  Liu Qingshan shook his head with a smile: "Professor, a well-known scholar like you can't have such a small fortune, no matter what, you have to spend 10 million US dollars to be interesting."

  Liu Qingshan's intention is obvious: a mere one million, not to play with you.

  He didn't know the background of this old guy, so he should have a few million.

  Merton's net worth is about five million, so the bet of ten million dollars is a bit beyond his ability, and he hesitated for a while.

   "Old friend, we are all very old, so we should not play such an exciting game."

  Merton's partner, Professor William, hurriedly tried to persuade him.

  Merton is still hesitating. If he leaves now, he really won't be able to step down.

  Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "Professor, forget it, as a junior, I don't want any accidents for you."

   "Haha, when you get older, you should learn from the tortoise basking in the sun on the beach, so you can take care of yourself."

   These words are bad enough, Liu Qingshan simply retreated, even if the bet failed, he still wanted to ruin the old guy's reputation.

   Provocation again and again, humiliating my compatriots, humiliating my country, how can I do it without paying the price?

   Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, Merton felt a burst of anger rushing up, and immediately blurted out: "Okay, bet, you bet, young man, you must learn some lessons!"

  Liu Qingshan couldn't wait for it, stretched out his palm: "It happens that there are two old seniors who won economics prizes, and they are the most suitable witnesses."

  Merton was not to be outdone, stretched out a slap, and slapped Liu Qingshan, making a bet.

   Leader Geng was so nervous at this moment, he quickly grabbed Liu Qingshan: "No way, we can't get 10 million dollars?"

  Merton asked the translator, and suddenly felt that he had the upper hand: "Haha, are young people these days so timid?"

  At this time, a crisp voice came over: "Brother Mountain, I have money, I'll give it to you!"

  Liu Qingshan looked down, it turned out to be Little William, with his little hand in his pocket, he actually took out a few pounds and put it in Liu Qingshan's hand.

   Following the example, the other little princes and princesses also started to pay, and if they didn’t have anything, they asked their brothers and sisters for it.

   Soon, Liu Qingshan held a lot of banknotes from various countries in his hand.

   "Hahaha!" Merton let out a piercing laugh, "Mr. Mountain, is this a charity fundraiser? You actually cheated children of their money."

  The little princess with broken teeth said childishly: "You are a bad grandpa!"

   Several other little guys also stared at Merton angrily. Although children's ability to distinguish right from wrong is not strong, their senses are very keen.

  All intuitively feel that this old man is a big villain.

  Liu Qingshan also showed a smile on his face: "No, these are my allies, we will unite and fight you together."

   "Fight!" The children shouted in unison, and they were actually quite imposing.

  Liu Qingshan smiled and put away the money: "When we win, you will have a share."

  The little guys also extended their small hands with a smile, and high-fived Liu Qingshan one by one.

   This scene shocked the reporters present: big news!

   Of course the reporters recognized them. These little dolls are all terrible. They all have the qualifications to be heirs to the throne, and some of them are very high.

   These little princes and princesses actually fought side by side with Mr. Mountain. Oh, this news can attract the attention of all the people in Europe.

   Merton also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and quickly asked the reporters around him in a low voice. After he figured out the situation, his expression immediately changed: This seems to be a bit of a big game?

   Fortunately, he is not from Europa's side, otherwise, offending so many princes and princesses at once, it is estimated that he will have a bad life in the future.

   At this time, Grace waved to the audience around: "This is a very interesting bet, I think it will become an anecdote in the future, but for now, it won't affect everyone's meal."

  The people around also nodded their heads, and they were still willing to obey a princess.

  The crowd dispersed quickly, only the soothing music echoed in the restaurant.

  Merton also chose to leave. At this moment, his heart was a little heavy.

   Grace turned to Liu Qingshan with a smile: "Boss, you have brought them all down."

   Before Liu Qingshan could speak, Little William raised his fist: "No, we are just, let's fight the bad guys together!"

   "Okay, you are all little warriors." Concubine Dai also had a smile on her face. Anyway, these little guys participated, and the adults didn't join in.

   No matter how strict the court rules are, no one will blame these little princes and princesses. Children, how can anyone not be naughty?

   "Let's continue to eat, your appetite will improve, and all of them will be wiped out!" Liu Qingshan happily said to Writer Lu and the others.

  Everyone smiled and nodded, only leader Geng was a little worried: "Qingshan, so much money..."

  Writer Lu comforted: "Don't worry, for Qingshan, this is all small money."

  Little money? That's 10 million, or US dollars!

  If Leader Geng didn’t understand, he wouldn’t even be able to eat. Seeing this posture, Gao Wenxue also advised him:

   "Leader, don't worry, Qingshan still has billions of dollars in assets."

  Leader Geng looked at Liu Qingshan in astonishment, and Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile.

   "Okay, okay, then I can rest assured!"

  Leader Geng finally understood. He picked up another piece of bread, tore a large piece and stuffed it into his mouth. As a result, he swallowed it a little bit violently, and he choked all of a sudden, his face became red and his neck was thick.

  Giggle, the little princess Huoyazi was so funny, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

  Liu Qingshan pointed to his mouth again, the little guy stuck out his tongue, then stretched out his little hand to cover his mouth.

  The corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth also turned upwards: This can be regarded as friendship, right? It's the kind of fighting side by side.
