Life 1984

Michiko actually dared to swim in the ice pool for Li Yunhai?

Li Yunhai had heard before that in the ice and snow at more than 20 degrees below zero, the fighting people in the north dared to jump down into ice caves to bathe. He did not expect that the Dutch also had this grace.

On January 1st every year, the Dutch people spontaneously run to the beach for winter swimming. Over time, New Year's winter swimming has become a tradition. Winter swimming is also a very popular sport among the Dutch. They are not pursuing speed, but enjoying the good state after overcoming the cold and dampness of body and mind. There has even been a grand occasion of tens of thousands of people taking a passionate bath in ice water, regardless of age or gender!

After testing the temperature of the ice water, Li Yunhai was convinced that he did not dare to jump into the pool of ice water. It was hard to say whether he would be able to come up after going down.

Li Yunhai looked at Michiko's pretty body and thought, you are so delicate, how can you become an ice beauty after being soaked in ice water?

However, Michiko was very serious. She took Li Yunhai's hand and said, "Mr. Li, I can do it. When I was in Tokyo, I often went to hot springs when it snowed in winter. We women in Tokyo dare to wear skirts no matter how cold it is. Woolen cloth!"

Li Yunhai knew that what Michiko said was indeed true, but soaking in hot springs in the snow in winter and swimming directly in cold water outdoors were two completely different experiences.

Without waiting for Li Yunhai to agree, Michiko took it upon herself to say to Colen: "Mr. Colen, I will accompany you for winter swimming! Just now we played golf together, now let's swim together too!"

Colon let out a sigh and looked at Michiko with surprise.

As a man, of course he cannot refuse the company of a beautiful woman.

The corners of Coren's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a strange smile. His triangular eyes radiated a wolfish light, and he said, "Okay, Miss Michiko, let's swim together!"

Li Yunhai's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "No! Michiko, the water is too cold, the temperature is too low! You are not used to swimming in winter, you will get frozen."

He and Michiko spoke in Chinese, which Column and the others could not understand.

Michiko was not frightened by the freezing at all. She nodded persistently and said, "I can do it!"

Winter swimming is not a big deal for the Dutch. So there are changing rooms next to the pool and shops offering swimsuits for men and women.

Coren and Michiko changed into their swimsuits in the men's and women's locker rooms respectively.

Before entering the water, Kelun said to Li Yunhai: "Mr. Li, winter swimming is a symbol of a strong person! If you want to discuss cooperation with our company, I hope you are a strong person! The most important thing for a man is to have a strong body !”

This is a challenge to Li Yunhai!

Li Yunhai raised his eyebrows slightly.

Kelen moved his limbs, first wetted his body with cold water, then took a deep breath and jumped into the pool.

I felt pity for Michiko in her swimsuit.

I saw that she had a beautiful figure, with a curved front and a curved back, a slender waist, and a flat abdomen. Although she was not too tall, she had well-proportioned proportions, which made people forget to look at her.

Li Yunhai wanted to persuade her, but Michiko went straight into the water.

At this time, Keith and Bella came over. Obviously, they also wanted to take a winter swim in the pool.

Bella waved to Li Yunhai and asked with a smile: "Do you East Asians also like winter swimming?"

Li Yunhai happened to be dealing with Case, so he took two steps forward and said: "When we were studying, every winter morning, we would take a shower with water from the well in the school yard. But our well water is warm, not It’s as cold as the water in this pool.”

Bella smiled and said, "Then do you want to swim with me?"

Li Yunhai decided to challenge his weakness!

Especially Column's aggressive behavior just now made him very unhappy!

"Then give it a try!" Li Yunhai said calmly.

Su Hong was taken aback, took his hand and said, "Mr. Li, this is no joke! It's just a business, there's no need to risk your own life, right? If Lin Zhi was here, she would definitely not I agree with you."

Li Yunhai has made up his mind, how can Su Hong pull him back? He smiled slightly and said, "Sister Su, how about we challenge it together?"

Su Hong really doesn't have the courage.

Li Yunhai bought swimming trunks at a nearby store and walked into the locker room with Keith.

"Mr. Case, thank you for today." Li Yunhai greeted Case while changing clothes.

Keith has very thick chest hair and very developed body hair, like a polar bear.

Such people probably don't need to be afraid of the cold in winter, as their body hair is like a natural sweater to keep out the cold.

"You're welcome," Case said. "I heard Bella talk about you. You are a respectable technology entrepreneur."

"Thank you and Miss Bella, Mr. Case, have you been to our country?"

"Oh, my father once visited China, and he described the beautiful scenery there to me. Unfortunately, I haven't had such an opportunity yet."

Li Yunhai heard him use the word visit.

When a person goes to another country, it is normally regarded as traveling, or it can be said to be a visit. It is more appropriate to use the words "been" or "been".

But Case actually used the word visit, followed by country.

The word "visit" is mostly used between peers, and between subjects with larger platforms, such as state visits. Not commonly used in life.

Li Yunhai became more curious about Case's identity.

"Who is your father?" Li Yunhai asked tentatively.

Keith didn't hide it, saying, "My father is a prince of the royal family."

"Ah?" Li Yunhai knew that there was a royal family in the Netherlands.

There are quite a few countries with royal families in the world, as many as 28, and the Netherlands is one of them.

No wonder this Keith always looked arrogant. It turned out that he was a member of the royal family. Even if he was not a prince, he was still an earl.

Li Yunhai did not understand the structure of the Dutch royal family and asked: "Mr. Keyes, are you the crown prince?"

Keith shook his head: "No, no, no, I am not the crown prince, Bella is the crown prince."

"Is Bella your wife?"

"No, she is my sister, and her father and my father are brothers."

"Cousins!" Li Yunhai suddenly realized.

Foreigners do not distinguish between cousins ​​and cousins, they are collectively called brothers and sisters.

Keith's identity had already shocked Li Yunhai, but Bella's identity was even more surprising!

The Queen Princess!

It is very possible to become queen one day in the future.

It is not surprising that there have been many queens in Dutch history.

Because the Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy, the king has little real power.

The king or queen has his or her own job.

For example, a certain king is a king by profession, but he also works part-time as a pilot, flying for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines for more than 20 years.

Although the Dutch royal family is small, it is also one of the richest in the world. His wealth mainly comes from Dutch state-owned enterprises and real estate investments. The royal family is also considered to be wealthy, and apart from the UK, their family has the largest number of jewels.

As for the personal investments and private wealth of each royal family member, it is even more immeasurable.

Li Yunhai and Keith changed their clothes and went outside to the swimming pool.

The coldest moment is not when the water comes in, but when you step outside.

Li Yunhai was so cold that he shivered all over and had to breathe hard to resist the cold.

After getting wet with cold water, and then entering the water, it was not so cold anymore.

When people exercise in cold water, their bodies will generate heat.

Bella and Michiko chatted while swimming.

Kelen saw Li Yunhai entering the water and gave him a thumbs up.

Li Yunhai swam with Case and Colen.

They swam from one end of the pool to the other and back again.

Li Yunhai's swimming skills were nothing to boast about. He swam much faster than Kelen and the others, and soon left them behind.

A person's biggest enemy is fear. Before he got into the water, Li Yunhai was instinctively afraid of winter swimming. Once he got into the water, he was no longer afraid of the cold, and the more he swam, the more energetic he became.

Swimming harder and faster because of the cold.

The faster I swim, the less afraid I am of the cold.

After landing, Li Yunhai entered the locker room with Keith and Colen.

"Mr. Li, you are great! Are you a swimmer?" Colen asked in admiration.

"I'm not a swimmer, it's just a hobby." Li Yunhai said, "I have liked bathing in the river since I was a child."

"You swam very well!" Colen said. "You let me see another side of you."

After changing clothes and coming out, Li Yunhai invited Keith and Bella to have dinner together.

Bella readily agreed.

Of course Colen also wanted to attend this luncheon.

They left the golf club and went to a restaurant in the city center.

This is a Michelin 3-star restaurant that is quite famous in the local area. In many cases, you need to make a reservation to get a meal.

The restaurant specializes in authentic Dutch cuisine.

But when the dishes were served, Li Yunhai felt speechless. It can be seen that every dish is very particular and a lot of thought has been put into it, but the portion size of the dishes is unflattering.

The chef puts all his energy into the presentation, but ignores the most authentic function of food: filling the stomach.

A large and deep vegetable bowl, with only a small piece of herring in it, and colorful flowers and side dishes on the side, it looked like a canoe in the vast ocean.

There was also a dish with two eggs of unknown origin, and there was a shape like a lotus leaf on the eggs, which looked weird.

These dishes are neither artistic nor delicious.

In the end, Li Yunhai had to eat two slices of noodles to fill his stomach.

But it doesn’t matter what you eat, what matters is who you sit with and eat with.

Li Yunhai asked for help from Column, and Column asked for help from Case.

There is a harmonious atmosphere among the people at this table.

It was learned from the conversation that Case worked in a certain department and had great power.

The Netherlands is different from other countries. Their country's institutions, royal family, embassy, ​​etc. are all located in The Hague, not in the capital.

Colen had an investment project in The Hague that was stuck in approval, and it happened to be under Case's control, so he decided to make friends with Case.

Li Yunhai was not interested in the deal between them. He only cared about whether the cooperation with Philips could continue.

But Colen did not give an answer on the spot. Instead, he said that you should come to our headquarters tomorrow and we will discuss it again.

Li Yunhai had no choice but to agree.

After eating, everyone went their separate ways.

After returning to the hotel in the afternoon, Li Yunhai felt very uncomfortable.

The consequences of indulgence will come soon!

Li Yunhai has a cold.

Michiko also developed a high fever.

This is very busy for Su Hong and Zhuang Yong.

The Netherlands and the medical system are completely different from those in China.

Normally, the citizens living here have their own family doctors, and all minor ailments are treated by the family doctor. Even if they are too sick to lie in bed and cannot move, the family doctor still has to visit the doctor for treatment.

As for local hospitals, most of them are opened together with medical schools. They mainly play a scientific research role. They only provide emergency departments but not outpatient clinics. The purpose of emergency departments is to temporarily relieve pain, not to cure the disease. If you go to the emergency room with a headache and fever, the doctor will prescribe strong painkillers and recommend that you see your family doctor.

General non-pharmaceutical drugs can be purchased at local pharmacies.

However, local pharmacies are not as common as in China.

Domestic pharmacies can be found everywhere like convenience stores, but it is difficult to find one on the streets of Holland.

Su Hong drove around for a long time before she found a decent pharmacy and went in to buy cold medicine and antipyretic medicine.

After returning to the hotel, Su Hong gave medicine to Li Yunhai and Michiko respectively.

The moment they went into the water to swim, Su Hong was worried that they would get sick.

As a result, they really got sick, and Su Hong didn't complain and tried her best to take care of them.

Li Yunhai took the medicine and fell into a drowsy sleep.

He didn't know how long he slept before Li Yunhai woke up.

The wall lamp was on in the room, and there was a beauty lying next to her, it was Su Hong.

Li Yunhai felt dizzy and couldn't help coughing, which woke Su Hong up.

Su Hong fell asleep lying next to Li Yunhai's bed. She woke up with a start and reached out to touch Li Yunhai's forehead. She found that it was not hot and asked, "Mr. Li, do you feel better? I don't know about the Netherlands either." The cold medicine tube doesn’t work.”

Li Yunhai felt something blocked in his throat and cleared his throat.

Su Hong turned around and took out a few tissues and put them on Li Yunhai's mouth.

Li Yunhai spit out a mouthful of phlegm and then said: "I'm fine, thank you for your hard work. You go over and go to bed!"

Su Hong threw away the tissue in her hand and said, "How dare I go over and sleep? I have to stay with you. By the way, I talked to Lin Zhi on the phone yesterday, but I didn't tell him about her illness, for fear that she would worry too much about it. Living so far away, she can't help."

"That's right. You did the right thing." Li Yunhai sat up and leaned against the bedside, saying, "It's just a cold. Just take medicine twice and it'll be fine. How is Michiko?"

"I gave her medicine and she fell asleep."

"Oh! We were indeed careless when we went swimming yesterday! Alas! I still can't stand other people's excitement!"

"Mr. Li, to be honest, you are too pushy. Michiko has already gone into the water, and you still go swimming! If you freeze your body, what will I, all the employees in our company, do? Who will come? How about paying us wages?”

"That's not the case." Li Yunhai forced a smile, "It's just winter swimming, you can't freeze to death."

Su Hong served Li Yunhai and drank some water.

Li Yunhai got up and went to the bathroom, and asked Su Hong to go back to her room to rest.

But Su Hong was unwilling to go there even if she wanted to. She was worried about Li Yunhai and had to stay with him.

Li Yunhai lay down and said to her: "Then why don't you go to bed and sleep on one end of the bed? We have to go to Philips headquarters for negotiations tomorrow, so you can't do it without sleeping."

Su Hong's pretty face turned red and she hummed.

Li Yunhai saw her rosy cheeks and said, "Don't worry, I don't have that in mind."

Su Hong bit her lip and said, "What? I'm not guarding you against anything! What kind of woman are you not? You definitely don't have that kind of thought for me."

Li Yunhai smiled awkwardly and said: "Sister Su, you misunderstood me again. I mean, I'm very ill and can't think about that."

Su Hong asked shyly: "What if you recover from your illness? Will you have that kind of thoughts about me?"

"My fair lady, a gentleman is always brave." Li Yunhai answered artistically.

Su Hong also turned off the wall lamp, leaving only the light in the bathroom.

A faint light shines through, and you can vaguely see the scene in the room, but it does not affect your sleep.

Li Yunhai went to sleep.

Su Hong tidied up, then squeezed to the other side of the bed and lay down in her clothes.

Li Yunhai rested his head on his hands, smelled her soft and long breathing, and said, "Sister Su, Philip will definitely make a request tomorrow."

"Well. Mr. Li, if we can't reach an agreement, who else can we look for to cooperate?"

"We all need people. If we don't ask for Philips, we have to ask for help from Asians, Germans, and Americans."

"Oh, there are still substitute dealers."

"Of course there is. In this world without Butcher Zhang, it would be impossible to eat pigs with hair. But in terms of high-end technology, many countries are on guard against us!"

"Then we can't produce it ourselves?"

"I think so, but we need to invest a lot of scientific research and funds in the early stage. Some machine tools we want to import may not be willing to sell them to us. In short, every step we take will be very difficult."

"Then should we change our approach? There are many profitable businesses in the world, and we can do other businesses. For example, we only sell other people's office equipment, or we only do consumables."

"No, then we will never be able to make it big or do it for a long time, because it will be easily replaced by others."

"Then I don't understand this."

"Sister Su, I will negotiate with Kelen tomorrow. If the other party makes a request that is difficult for us to accept, but I cannot refuse it in person, you can refuse it for me and leave me room to think and maneuver."

"Huh? But I don't know what to say when?"

"This requires you to act according to the situation. If you see me hesitating, block the scene for me first and give me time to think."

"Okay, Mr. Li. But I'm not a roundworm in your belly, and my timing may not be correct."

"I believe you can do it. Go to sleep!"

Neither of them spoke.

Li Yunhai slept on this end of the bed, and Su Hong slept on the other end of the bed.

Su Hong has a tall figure and slender legs. Her beauty is as fascinating as her figure.

But this night, Li Yunhai really didn't have any evil thoughts.

When a person is sick, he really cannot think about women.

Li Yunhai slept peacefully, but Su Hong suffered.

Su Hong is not sick. She just took a nap and is now full of energy and no longer sleepy.

She felt the strong masculine aura emanating from Li Yunhai, and even the occasional snoring made her heart palpitate in the quiet night.

After confirming that Li Yunhai was asleep, Su Hong boldly and quietly approached him... (End of Chapter)
