rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 456 Old Tavern

The Inter Milan of 1999 was undoubtedly Chen Li's favorite generation in terms of stars.

Alien Ronaldo~Heavy Tank Vieri and Roberto Baggio known as the Prince of Melancholy.

If Chen Li's favorite football star is the alien Ronaldo, then Roberto Baggio is his second.

There are countless pictures of scenic spots in world football, and most of them are of a certain team that has achieved extremely brilliant results.

But no matter how others choose it, the back view of Roberto Baggio after he missed the penalty kick in the 1994 World Cup final will always be among the best.

It was also after that game that the dream lover of countless Italian girls became the melancholic prince on the football field.

Chen Li in his previous life also became a fan of this Italian man with pigtails after that competition.

Hmm~ Well, this fan of Chen Li is actually not pure.

After all, his favorite football star has always been Ronaldo, and even with Ronaldo, Chen Li's star-chasing level is very low.

The money Chen Li spent on his pursuit of stars was only a No. 9 uniform of the Brazilian national team and a No. 10 uniform of the Italian national team.

Moreover, it’s a copycat, and it costs thirty-five yuan for a set!

But no matter what, whether it is Ronaldo or Roberto Baggio, they are very few football stars that Chen Li likes more.

When he arrived in Milan this time, Chen Li naturally wanted to come and take a look.

There is still a distance between the training base and the hotel where Chen Li stayed. Fortunately, Chen Li left earlier, so it was not too late to arrive at the training base.

Perhaps due to Chen Li's good luck, not long after he arrived at the entrance outside the training base, he mingled with a group of fans and saw Roberto Baggio, the first to arrive.

Listening to the cheers of the fans around him, Chen Li's mood became somewhat excited.

But...it's just a little bit.

Unlike other fans who believed that Inter Milan would have a good result this season, Chen Li, who had known the outcome of this season for a long time, seemed particularly calm.

Even though Inter Milan gathered three fantasy gods this season, the final result was shocking.

Not to mention the championship, Inter Milan almost didn't even reach the Champions League this season.

Chen Li still vaguely remembers that it was Roberto Baggio who scored twice in the subsequent Serie A play-offs, helping Inter Milan defeat their opponents and thus qualify for the Champions League.

But at the end of this season, Roberto Baggio left Inter Milan. At that time, his relationship with the team's head coach Lippi was very bad, which led to him being abandoned for a time.

Baggio later joined Brescia. Although his personal performance was still very good, the club's upper limit determined Baggio's future.

In 2004 ~ when Chen Li in his previous life no longer paid much attention to football, Baggio retired.

Chen Li remembered that at that time, he even bought a newspaper just to read the news about the star he once liked.

But that's all.

"Mr. Baggio~Mr. Baggio!"

Well, Chen Li thought he was very calm, but when Roberto Baggio walked to the roadside to sign autographs for fans, Chen Li still stretched out his hands.

In his hands, he held a pen and a notebook!

Hehe~ There is nothing I can do. No matter how calm Chen Li is, people are walking up to him. If he is not excited at all, then he must be a robot.

I'm very lucky ~ or maybe because today is a working day, there are not many fans gathered at the entrance of the training base.

Baggio casually took Chen Li's pen and diary and glanced at Chen Li. It was obvious that he was somewhat surprised by Chen Li's oriental face.

But it was only a little bit lost. Today, Baggio is already a top star in world football, and his fans can be said to be all over the world.

His slight surprise was just because there were relatively few Easterners coming to the training base.

Without speaking or chatting, Baggio signed his name on the notebook and handed it back to me, Chen Li.

"Thanks!"

Chen Li said thank you and then watched Baggio continue to sign autographs for other fans.

There were not many people at the scene, so Baggio quickly signed in and entered the training base.

After getting Baggio's signature, Chen Li did not leave. He achieved half of his goal today, and the other half was Ronaldo's signature.

Chen Li loved the alien who was deceived into an advertising endorsement by a domestic brand over a meal, even more than Robert.

But it's a pity that Chen Li waited until Inter Milan's training started and didn't wait for Ronaldo to show up.

After asking the fans nearby, a well-informed person told Chen Li that Ronaldo had gone for a check-up this morning.

Check.Okay!

No one knows now that throughout the 1999-00 season, Ronaldo, known as the alien, only played seven league games on behalf of Inter Milan. He had been plagued by injuries the rest of the time.

In fact, during Ronaldo's years at Inter Milan, except for the year when he first came here, Ronaldo suffered from injuries almost every year.

Therefore, the Inter Milan fans around Chen Li are destined to be disappointed this season.

Of course, Chen Li would not be stupid enough to discuss this with others in front of Inter Milan's training base, but he did not leave either.

At noon, Chen Li invited the "understanding brother" from before to have an inexpensive lunch at a small restaurant in the town, and then with the help of the "understanding brother", he contacted a staff member of the training base

.

But it's a pity~ The news we received indicates that Ronaldo, the alien, will not come to the training base today.

Chen Li feels very sorry for this!

His time is very tight. He must rush back to Munich before tomorrow, return the car to Lucas, and then take the flight back to China the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, he could not continue to wait for the arrival of aliens at the training base.

But life seems to be like this, a little regretful. In fact, it is also a kind of perfection.

After lunch, Chen Li drove out of the town and returned to Munich in the evening.

"Thanks~brother!"

Chen Li threw the key to Lucas, and this time he went on a self-driving trip. Although Chen Li had no time to play at all, he was very happy.

Xiaomeng upgraded, the mission was completed, and Chen Li also received some benefits.

"My brother, you don't need to be too polite with me."

"Let's go~ I'll take you to that old tavern to have a look."

“Have dinner there by the way!”

"OK! Okay~!"

In the past few days, Chen Li had to switch between several different languages ​​every day, which made him a little confused.

It's okay in Germany~his German proficiency is naturally poor.

It's actually not bad in Austria. Except for the need to switch to Chinese when talking to Liu Qingqing, there's nothing else.

But after entering Italy, because Chen Li had just activated Italian, his current Italian level was limited to saying hello and some specific communications.

For example, Parli inglese, that is, do you speak English?

After getting the reply, Chen Li could communicate with others in English again, but the Italian's English left Chen Li speechless.

Anyway, over the past few days, Chen Li has been speaking foreign languages ​​every day. He feels bad all over.

After getting into Lucas' car, Chen Li saw for the first time the beer hall that Lucas had said he would give to him.

In fact, long before Chen Li started his self-driving tour, Lucas had planned to take Chen Li there to take over this tavern.

But at that time, Chen Li had just discovered the changes in the system, so he had no interest in the beer hall at all.

At that time, Chen Li was only thinking about how to complete the mission, and he really didn't have much interest in this beer hall.

In fact, the reason why Chen Li agreed to take over this beer hall was mainly to give Lucas a step forward.

Chen Li himself was not very interested in this beer hall. After all, he was in China and could not pay attention to business in Munich.

The door of the beer hall is small and a bit old, which is a bit different from the beer hall that Chen Li expected.

But after entering the beer hall, there is nothing eye-catching.

It is a traditional German beer hall. The reason why it is not called a small bar is probably because it also sells food.

"Old Neil~!"

"Two beers first, and then two steaks for us!"

After entering the pub, Lucas greeted the middle-aged man behind the bar.

"Okay boss~!"

"I heard today that you were coming, boss, so I went out to buy some good steak."

The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, a somewhat flattering smile.

Seeing this scene, Chen Li muttered in his heart

"Who says Germans can't suck up?"

Many people's stereotypes about Germans are that they are rigorous, lack humor, etc.

But in fact, many things are caused by the German language.

In fact, Germans are human beings too. When facing their bosses, it is unrealistic to say that they don’t understand anything.

At the very least, the person in charge of this tavern is very knowledgeable.

In his previous life, Chen Li had watched many foreign movies. In many movies, most of the owners of small bars or tavern staff had bad tempers.

In movies, those people often pull out a shotgun from under the bar and point it at the protagonist or supporting character.

However, in reality, although such people do exist, they are definitely only a minority.

The reason is also very simple. Taverns are engaged in business. Unless that bar or tavern is unique in the local area, otherwise the bad temper will definitely have some negative impact on the business.

"Old Neil, you don't have to call me boss from now on!"

"This, Chen, is my brother!"

"He will be your boss from now on!"

Lucas brought Chen Li here today to take over this tavern.

Of course, professional people will be responsible for the follow-up procedures. When the time comes, the tavern will be under Zhou Xiaoli's name, not Chen Li's.

"Oh~ welcome!"

"Chen~ I can call you this!"

In the German context, there is actually a difference between "you" and "you".

Generally speaking, when talking to people you don't know well, elders and superiors, or strangers, you should use "Sie", which is also "you".

When addressing friends, family members, or when the other party requests to be addressed as "you", you can use "du" to address them.

"No problem~ Can I also call you Old Neil like Lucas?"

Chen Li put a smile on his face and nodded in response.

"Oh my God!"

"Chen~ you speak German really well!"

"If it weren't for your oriental face, I would even think that the person talking to me is an authentic Munich man."

"Uh~ Not bad, thank you for the compliment!"

Okay~ Chen Li's ears have almost become calluses from listening to similar words during this period.

Whenever he communicates with these foreigners in English and German, the other party will almost always say something like this.

Hmm. But this is normal.

Just like Chen Li in his previous life would say the same thing when he saw a foreigner who spoke Chinese better.

"Boom~!"

As Chen Li and Old Neil were talking, beer was served here.

Chen Li picked up the wine glass and then glanced at Lucas in surprise.

"Hahaha~!"

"Chen~ As expected, you discovered it!"

"You didn't expect that, right? This beer hall only sells Shennong beer now."

Lucas had a smile on his face while Chen Li looked around, then shrugged and said:

"So, business isn't going very well, is it?"

It's evening now, and logically speaking, this time is when the beer hall's business is at its best.

But at this moment, there weren't many customers in this old tavern at all.

There were only a few guys who were obviously drunkards, drinking Shennong beer and chatting loudly.

"Well!"

The smile on Lucas' face was frozen by Chen Li's words.

He also looked around, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then sighed.

"Hey~ I can't help it. The alcohol content of Shennong Beer is still a bit high for ordinary people."

"You know, for most ordinary people, 4-5 degrees of alcohol is already very high."

"And this Shennong beer will only be chosen by people who drink beer regularly!"

Well, Lucas is actually right.

This Shennong beer, even among the Shennong beer series, has a relatively high alcohol content.

The main reason why Chen Li redeemed this Shennong beer was actually to slap Lucas in the face, not to deal with consumers.

There are two ways to drink this Shennong beer. One is to add a lot of ice cubes. After being diluted by the ice cubes, the taste of this Shennong beer is undoubtedly the best.

There is another drinking rule: simply chill it and drink it directly.

This kind of drinking method is basically only chosen by wine masters or people who are good wine drinkers.

But no matter which one it is, in fact, for ordinary customers, this wine is not that good.

This is why Chen Li never thought about starting this beer from China.

Without time accumulation, if this beer appears in the Chinese market rashly, the only outcome will be to be eliminated by the market.

So from the very beginning, Chen Li focused on Germany, a big beer country, as his target market.

Because the locals are familiar with beer, this Shennong beer has a certain market.

It's just that Chen Li underestimated some unspoken rules of the market, which has resulted in Shennong Beer being unable to open the market in Germany at all.

In fact, after Chen Li asked Xiaomeng, he knew that even in the future, the sales volume of this beer would be far less than that of the ordinary Shennong beer.

When Shennong Beer conquered half of the global market, the largest sales channel for this beer was various bars, nightclubs and other places.

To put it bluntly, this beer is not for ordinary people to drink.

“Then why not let bars sell other beers too?”

Chen Li actually knew the answer to this question, he just asked it casually.

Sure enough, after he asked this question, Lucas's expression became serious.

"How can it be!"

"I am also a shareholder of Shennong Beer after all, so the pub under my name naturally only sells Shennong Beer!"

"Haha~!"

Chen Li smiled, and then was stunned for a moment, and then Xiaomeng's soft voice came to his mind.

"The order has been placed and the goods will arrive in ≈30 minutes!"

"Master host, please pay attention to check!"
