Chapter 777 Woodside Rifle Club

Chapter 777 Woodside Rifle Club

At night, on the top floor of a hotel in Yuezhou City.

Chen Yifeng was sitting on the sofa. Xu Jia, who was sitting next to him, was smoking a cigar and bragging to a few bosses, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Although he is very rich, he does not live an extravagant life. At most, he buys a nice house and collects cars and antiques.

Chen Yifeng was a little confused by the Xu family's extravagant spending.

"Mr. Chen, come and try this fine cigar!"

"No, I don't smoke."

"This is a cigar, not a cigarette."

"it's the same."

"Then come and try this bottle of fine wine. This bottle costs hundreds of thousands!"

"I do not drink!"

In response to the Xu family's enthusiastic invitation, Chen Yifeng always waved his hand to refuse.

"Oh, Mr. Chen. The purpose of a person's journey through the world is to enjoy himself. It's so boring that you don't touch this or that." A boss from Guangdong province joked.

Chen Yifeng glanced at the man and was too lazy to talk to him.

He has plenty of money now and totally looks down on these unknown bosses.

"Okay, Mr. Chen is a cultured person, so let's show you something that a cultured person should watch." Xu Jia raised the corners of his mouth and clapped his hands.

As soon as the words fell, a faint fragrance floated in. Then, a group of beautiful women with graceful figures filed in. They were wearing exquisite cheongsams, and their skirts swayed gently with their steps. When they stood in a row, they looked like a classical painting of beauties.

"These are the beauties from our Hengxiao Song and Dance Troupe. Let them show their talents to the bosses!" Xu Jia snapped his fingers.

The women immediately began to dance as soon as they heard the instructions. As classical music played, their dancing was graceful and elegant, but they would occasionally glance at the bosses present, with a hint of teasing.

Chen Yifeng still had no expression on his face. He just picked up the teacup and took a sip.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to do something, but he is afraid of being caught by others.

Although he didn't smoke or drink, he never refused to be with women. But these women were all from the Xu family, and people of his status needed to be extra careful when they were outside.

Several bosses nearby have already found their targets and are ready to bring them to their rooms to have some fun at night.

"Mr. Xu, didn't you ask me to come here to discuss business today?" Chen Yifeng looked at the other party unhappily, as if he felt that his time was wasted.

"Of course, we can chat while playing! Let me introduce you, these are all our Hengxiao Group's real estate development partners..." Xu Jia said, hooking his shoulder.

Chen Yifeng was speechless. You must have drunk too much fake wine. Haven’t I already introduced this to you before?

One month later…

Real-Car headquarters.

"We set up a tram rental service as per your request, and the response has been quite good, with the highest rent reaching 300 Australian dollars per day. But those people probably just want to try it out for the novelty, and it would be difficult to maintain this rental price." Yuan Shuai reported.

The car rental price in Australia is still very high. Even if the price drops, it won’t be much different. Chen Xi doesn’t think it’s a big problem.

"It doesn't matter. Won't we still make money if we sell it later?"

"Oh my God, why are you still thinking about selling it? Some people have already started to complain about the high cost of electric vehicle insurance and batteries. I'm afraid it will be difficult to sell it in the future."

"It doesn't matter. Someone has taken over the business!" Chen Xi pointed outside the glass window. Opposite was the Carsales building.

Yuan Shuai rolled his eyes when he heard this: "My family called me several times and asked me to return home. Then let Lin Yu manage the company?"

"Lin Yu is a technician. It may not be appropriate to let him manage the company. I'll find someone else." Chen Xi shook his head.

In fact, many company bosses are also technical people, but Lin Yu is obviously a little panicked when faced with big things. It is not suitable for such a person to sit in the boss's position.

"I noticed Norbert was often out of the company recently, and he didn't look very happy. I guess his project ran into trouble..."

"He probably wanted to show off in front of the government and investors, so he mobilized a lot of resources to lay electric charging stations and do publicity. The result was that the increase in the number of electric vehicles was not ideal, causing the previous investment to continue to be wasted," said Chen Xi after analysis.

"Why don't we just use public opinion to create negative news and take advantage of the opportunity to defeat him?"

"Hey, how did you become a bad boy? Tsk tsk tsk, you would never say such things before." Hearing Yuan Shuai's suggestion, Chen Xi made a clicking sound.

"It's been a while since I graduated. I've seen all kinds of monsters and demons. It's not surprising that I learned these tricks. I used to think that doing this was a bit immoral, but if you don't do it that way, others will do it to you."

Yuan Shuai is not a child anymore. Since he took over the management of Real-Car, he has thrown away all his previous naive ideas.

"It's not appropriate to do this now. First, there is too much suspicion. Second, it's hard to explain to the Australian consortium. In fact, you have guessed that it is not realistic to develop new energy vehicles in Australia. It's better to let them get stuck in this quagmire and can't climb out. This can also save us money and energy, right?"

"Well, I just want to see Real-Car become the number one automotive platform in Australia before I return home."

"This is not a novel you wrote. A listed company can be brought down in minutes. It takes a long time to boil a frog in warm water. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go!" Chen Xi looked at the clock. It was almost time to gather.

When he went downstairs and just arrived in front of the car, he saw Norbert walking out of the company gate in a hurry with a frown on his brow.

There was actually only a narrow road between the two of them, but Norbert didn't even see Chen Xi, which showed that this guy was worried about something.

Norbert lowered his head and got into the car. Chen Xi and Yuan Shuai looked at each other and shrugged at the same time.

Two hours later, Woodside.

This is an area near the sea in the southeast of Mo Village.

"There's not many people here, that's good!" Chen Xi got out of the car, looked around, and then lit a cigarette.

"Isn't there a shooting range in the city? Who would come here to play?" Yuan Shuai blinked in confusion.

"You're stupid. People in the city only play with pistols. Can you really bring a big gun into the city? Not to mention whether the government agrees or not, the noise of shooting will make many people complain."

"Yeah, I've never touched a real gun in my life! I have to learn from it this time, so that the novels I write can be more realistic, right?" Just as the two were chatting, Liu Fu and Xiao Ming also came, along with Ouyang Ming, Liya and others.

Ouyang Ming is a very timid person, but he is a novice and loves to play. In his previous life, when Chen Xi, Ouyang Ming, Chen Xu, Gou Zi and others were playing paintball, Ouyang Ming's legs were bruised and he wailed in pain on the ground for a long time.

"Let's go and see what's going on!" Liu Fuxiao took the arm of a woman and waved his big hand with a smile.

When Chen Xi saw the woman next to Liu Fu, he exclaimed in his heart, "Oh my god!"

The woman also saw him and said in surprise: "Handsome boy, we meet again!"

Damn, isn’t this Zhong Lili from Wenou Chamber of Commerce? How come she is involved with Liu Fu?
"Haha, this is my new girlfriend! I came back to Mo Village this time to see her." Liu Fu introduced her to everyone with a smile.

"Who is your girlfriend? I didn't agree to it." Zhong Lili rolled her eyes at him and pushed him away with disgust.

"Hey, stop being so petty. You're already so old, don't let these youngsters make fun of you."

"What? Do you think I'm too old? You say I'm old in front of so many people?" Zhong Lili raised her eyebrows and grabbed Liu Fu's ear.

When the people around saw this, they covered their mouths and turned around to laugh.

"Oh, I finally found a woman who can subdue my uncle." Xiao Ming sighed softly.

Liu Fu has not married yet, but seeing Zhong Lili's age, he can't expect to have children, but the two of them can still be companions. This is how it is abroad, wandering alone, plus there are few Chinese people, it is easy to travel together. The main reason is that there are few choices. If this were in China, I guess the two of them would look down on each other.

A few minutes later, everyone's attention was attracted by a mottled wooden sign - Woodside Rifle Club.

A long wire fence encloses the entire site. There is a gravel path at the entrance, with a few old oak trees planted on both sides and a few discarded tires piled under the shade of the trees. There are a few old kerosene lamps hanging on both sides of the gate. Although they are not lit during the day, they look particularly old.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door, you will see a wide shooting range. In the distance are several rows of black targets neatly standing on the grass, with a few seabirds leisurely strolling between the targets. On one side of the field is a simple wooden house with a rusty iron sheet on the roof. There is a sign hanging on the door with "Registration Office" written in a sloppy font.

"It's a bit old, but as long as there's a gun, it's fine." Yuan Shuai looked around excitedly.

"This is an old shooting club. I've been here before." Liu Fu smiled and glanced at the surrounding facilities. He obviously missed this place very much.

Zhong Lili clapped her hands: "Okay, let's stop wasting time here and go in! This boss is really outrageous. He didn't even come out to greet us, the sponsors. No wonder those with poor business have all sold out..."

When I arrived at the registration office, there were not many employees inside and the boss was a bald man.

Seeing such a large group of Chinese people coming, the bald man seemed unhappy.

"Who are you showing this stern face to? How can you still be in the mood to play when customers come? No wonder your business can't continue. I don't care how you did it in the past, you have to listen to my arrangements in the future!" Without waiting for the bald man to speak, Zhong Lili gave him a warning.

"Don't think it's a big deal just because you paid for it. Without our coaches, the shooting range can't operate at all." The bald man said sarcastically.

"Oh, it's just like what you said before that you were operating well. If you were really operating well, why would you sell it to us?"

"Did you come here today just to mock us?"

"Of course not. Bring some little guys here for target practice and check out your professional skills at the same time." Zhong Lili continued to be aggressive and made the bald man's face turn red with anger.

"Professional level? Our coaches are all professionally trained and have served in the military before..."

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, both of you. Brad, let someone take these kids to practice first, and then we'll sit down and talk about how to renovate the shooting range..." At this time, Liu Fu came out to smooth things over.

Chen Xi followed a burly white coach into the shooting range. The coach's name was Dave. He was wearing a tactical vest and sunglasses. Although his eyes were not clear, his every move made people feel that he was somewhat cool.

"Okay, gentlemen and ladies," Dave clapped his hands and spoke in a loud voice, "Welcome to Woodside Rifle Club. Today I will teach you the basics of pistol shooting. Safety first, then accuracy."

He walked to a long table where several pistols were neatly laid out, next to a box of bullets and several pairs of earplugs and goggles. Dave picked up a pistol and held it in front of everyone.

"First of all, this is the Smith & Wesson M&P9," he pointed at the gun with his index finger. "Made in America, it's highly reliable and easy to operate. It's the first choice for police and civilians."

Then he picked up another pistol: "This is a Glock 17. It's light, durable, and perfect for beginners."

Then, he pointed to a slightly old-fashioned pistol and said, "And this one, the Lithgow LA101 made in Australia. Although it's not as fancy as the first two, it's sturdy and accurate."

Ouyang Ming stood there chatting with Liya in a nonchalant manner, seemingly not listening at all, which made the coach very unhappy.

"Before we begin," Dave's tone suddenly became serious, "let's talk about the safety rules first. Don't touch the trigger unless you are ready to shoot. Always treat the gun as if it is loaded. Most importantly, the muzzle should always be pointed in a safe direction."

He picked up a pair of goggles and earplugs and handed them to Chen Xi: "Put these on. Safety equipment is not optional here."

Chen Xi nodded and put on his equipment, and the others followed suit. Dave walked to the target, loaded the gun smoothly, and turned to face everyone.

"Now, the stance is crucial." He placed his feet shoulder-width apart, leaned forward slightly, and raised the gun in both hands to his chest. "This is the equilateral triangle stance. Simple, stable, and very effective."

He motioned Chen Xi to come forward and handed him the Glock 17 in his hand: "You try it. Grip it tightly but not too hard. Aim at the sight, align the front and back, and then focus on the target."

Chen Xi took the pistol and posed according to Dave's instructions. The handle of the gun felt cold and lighter than he expected, but he felt safe with the truth in his hand.

"Very good, now, take a deep breath, exhale slowly, then pull the trigger, don't pull it hard. Be steady and steady." Dave said slowly, standing behind him.

Chen Xi concentrated and held his breath, aimed the crosshairs at the bull's eye in the distance, and slowly pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The bullet flew through the air, and the recoil caused his arm to tremble slightly. On the target in the distance, the bullet hit the seventh ring.

"Not bad." Dave nodded, a hint of approval on his face, then turned his head to Ouyang Ming and said, "I'll teach you how to shoot now. Don't get hurt, or I'll have to send you to the hospital."

Seeing that the other party was deliberately targeting him, Ouyang Ming curled his lips and said, "Coach, why do I feel that what you just said is a little wrong!"

"Oh? What's wrong?"

"You just said that when shooting, you should take a deep breath, exhale slowly, and then pull the trigger. Why do I feel that I should choose to hold my breath? This can better improve stability."

Ouyang Ming said with his hands on his hips.

In fact, the topic of whether to hold your breath or not has always been widely discussed, especially among shooting enthusiasts, military and police personnel, and competitive shooters.

In addition to shooting, fighting also divides people into two groups. (End of this chapter)
