Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Xiao Meng listened to Xiao Tang's advice and learned the trick of hiring a tutor.

However, tutors for math and language arts classes are easy to find, but tutors for luxury goods management courses are really hard to find.

After consulting with a senior member in the group, Xiaomeng finally found someone to help her.

That person is a regional president for a certain brand, named Zach. He has a hobby of teaching and mentoring, and holds a teaching position at a foreign university. He happens to be stationed in Shanghai this year.

Xiaomeng asked a friend if the old man would be willing to offer some experience and guidance from frontline practitioners to a young girl who was studying for her undergraduate degree.

Although the old man didn't know Xiaomeng's background, he knew she was probably a young person in a wealthy circle who was learning. So his reply was that he was happy to have some exchanges and discussions with the newcomer.

The old man enjoyed playing golf and liked to take a few rounds at a suburban golf course on weekends. So he invited Xiaomeng to a golf course in the suburbs of the city on the weekend to play golf and chat.

Xiaomeng spent over 20 yuan to buy a complete set of golf equipment. On the weekend, she took Xiaotang to Qiushan Golf Course to learn how to play golf and find herself a tutor.

As soon as Xiaomeng arrived at the place, she asked the customer manager at the front desk if old man Zack had arrived yet.

The account manager politely declined, saying he would never disclose other guests' information to strangers. However, after Xiao Tang instructed Xiao Meng to purchase a 50 yuan annual membership card, the manager enthusiastically took out his tablet and helped her find out that Mr. Zack's car had not yet entered the internal parking lot.

The manager suggested that Xiaomeng could first go to the light food restaurant at the golf course for a cup of coffee, or go to the driving range for a couple of shots.

Xiaomeng and Xiaotang discussed it and decided they would definitely play a couple of rounds with Zack later. If they performed well, they might gain the old man's special attention. So Xiaomeng thought it best to warm up beforehand.

Xiaomeng thought about it and realized it made sense. She had no prior experience playing golf and needed to practice beforehand. Even if her technique wasn't perfect, she needed to at least have the basics. So she asked the receptionist for a caddie who could provide guidance on the movements; it wasn't expensive, only a few hundred yuan.

Xiaomeng couldn't directly say that she had no foundation at all. She only said that she hadn't practiced for a long time, so her movements were rusty. She asked the caddie to demonstrate for her and help correct her movements during practice.

So her caddie actually demonstrated the technique to her and showed her two balls.

With the help of the caddie, Xiaomeng managed to hit the ball 10 times and finally got a feel for it.

She secretly checked her skill panel and, sure enough, she had already mastered the basics of golf. Using an experience card, she raised her skill to level 10, the maximum level, before Old Zach arrived.

After that, her shots were almost magical, hitting exactly where she aimed. The caddies believed she had at least ten years of golf experience.

As soon as Old Zach's car arrived, the course's customer service manager immediately notified Xiao Meng's caddie via walkie-talkie. So Old Zach saw Xiao Meng as soon as he entered the course.

Since it was their first meeting and they weren't familiar with each other, the old man simply asked Xiaomeng about her school, major, and relationship with the matchmaker.

After Xiaomeng briefly introduced herself, she gave her a small aromatherapy ornament worth several thousand yuan as a gift.

That's how the two of them got to know each other.

Old man Zack kindly invited Xiaomeng to play ball with him. They chatted while playing, and he told her she could ask him any questions as they walked.

A proper round of golf involves playing eighteen holes. After each hole, you move to the next course, which requires both electric cart rides and walking. A full round can easily rack up 20,000 steps; it's really hard to keep going without some stamina.

Xiaomeng played with the old man and found that his skills were only average. It took him at least four or five strokes to sink a hole, and sometimes he even hit the ball into the water. She could only try her best to control her score and keep up with the old man's level. Sometimes, she even had to be reminded by Xiaotang that she had accidentally overtaken the old man and had to hit one or two balls into the bunker or water, causing her to have to add strokes and allowing the old man to take the lead.

The old man noticed that everyone's skill level was about the same, so he got excited and even had his caddie record the scores of each game. He found that he was always one or two points ahead of Xiaomeng, which made him happy, and he started talking more.

Upon hearing Xiaomeng's concerns about teaching materials, he enthusiastically introduced her to a book list, some of which were autobiographies of luxury goods managers and others were the latest research reports.

When Xiaomeng mentioned that she planned to attend some fashion shows and observe them live, Old Man Zack recommended a few to her, saying that these were some of the better-performing brands in recent years, and that talking to their owners might be very rewarding.

He also said that he might appear at the reception of one or two of the shows, depending on the situation, and if they happen to meet, he could help introduce Xiaomeng to the brand owner.

The old man spoke with such confidence that Xiaomeng suspected he was exaggerating. However, Xiaomeng had no proof. She could only remain skeptical.

Xiaomeng also told the old man about her museum and related merchandise business in the Windmill Kingdom. The old man was very surprised, not expecting that Xiaomeng, at such a young age, was already running her own brand.

Xiaomeng pointed out that the aromatherapy ornament she gave him was a product that was currently on sale.

The ornament features an adorable, chubby cat and can be filled with perfume. It is a custom-made colored glass product from a glass craft factory in Zibo.

The accompanying perfume is a collaboration with a domestic perfume studio, using traditional fragrance recipes.

The old man found it very interesting after seeing it and praised Xiaomeng for her innovative product line.

In short, neither of them felt that the other was a bad person, so they agreed to meet at the court at least once a month to play ball together.

If Xiaomeng has any questions about her studies, she can email him. The old man will also offer her advice based on his own experience.

Of course, you'll need to pay a consultant fee according to the market rate, which is $100 per question.

After leaving the golf course, Xiao Tang said that if the old man's advice was insightful, then his fees were reasonable, and they could give him a try. He could be considered a guide in the industry.
