Methods of Prosperity newsletter no.55, Richard Branson and the Sex Pistols.

Part 55. Sir Richard Branson (continued).

To put Mike’s mind at ease, Richard offered to take him for a drive in his Bentley. They drove past the Queen Elizabeth Hall when Richard slowed down. There were Mike Oldfield posters everywhere. A crowd of people were making their way to the concert. Richard stopped the car. “Do you want to drive?” he asked. He knew Mike loved that car. “Alright,” Mike agreed. Mike drove Richard’s Bentley further. Then Richard asked, “Would you like to have this car as a present?”

“A present?” Mike wondered.

“Yes. I’ll get out here and keep walking. You just keep on driving and the car’s yours.” Richard gave Mike an incentive to perform live.

“Come off it. It was your wedding present.” Mike hesitated.

“All you have to do is then drive it around to the Queen Elizabeth Hall, and go up on stage tonight, and then it’s yours.”
