The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era
Chapter 916: You are not a gentleman at 1
The famous financial center in the world in London, England, the capital of the ever-declining empire, is also the world's famous foggy capital. The weather here in winter is very similar to that of Yanjing more than ten years later. Almost the entire winter is shrouded in a thick fog. But London is water mist, and Yanjing is smog.
Wimbledon Stables One of Britain's five largest horse farms, located in the small village of Wimbledon in southwest London, with a history of more than 100 years. It is a gathering place for many nobles.
As for the opportunities of British nobility, the first thing people think of is a group of women with noble temperament, wearing some exaggerated pettiskirts, and then staying in exquisite cloth hats.
Men or suits or knights wear the dance of the last century on the grass, like a group of old antiques immersed in the glory of the past.
But in fact, the gathering of British nobles is very grand. But unless some grand occasions, otherwise it will not give people a feeling of European medieval knighthood.
Dressed formally but not as old-fashioned as in videos and photos. Although the ladies will also dress up, the pettiskirt will only appear on certain ceremonial occasions, most of them are more concerned about their hats.
There is a delicate, high-end and beautiful hat, whether it is very important for men or women. Black coat, shiny leather shoes, certain black hat, plus a walking stick, this is a man dressed everywhere on the streets of London in winter and early spring.
Women's hat styles are much more varied, and they are not usually worn like men's. Only when you attend a banquet will you wear your favorite hat.
So at the Wimbledon stables aristocratic party on the weekend, maybe the knight costume when riding a horse gives you a feeling of returning to the Middle Ages. At other times, men are more formally dressed at work, and women wear their favorite hats. General outing.
Today is Saturday, Wimbledon Racecourse held a small gathering between the nobles, and there is an equestrian show everyone loves.
And the equestrian knight is not a general professional rider, but the younger generation of the nobility who meets at the moment. As a member of the nobility in the UK, whether you are serving the royal family, even if you are just a guard, or working in the government, even if you are an ordinary civil servant.
This is a very decent job. You may not get a particularly high salary for such a job, but you can get a good social status.
If you want to be an actor, or if the parents of athletes will not object. But not the kind of star in movies and TV series, but to be an opera or drama performer who seems very high-end to them.
For athletes, they feel that they feel good and elegant swimming, or polo. But the best is similar to equestrian, or noble sports like snooker, golf is also possible. Others couldn't get on the table a little in their eyes, and doing so would insult their identity.
Under the leadership of the staff of the racecourse, Yang Dongxu walked into the racecourse, followed by Carlo Rossi, Maserati CEO. After several months of screening and contact, Carlo finally found a very suitable partner-the Spencer family.
It is said that people of the Spencer family may feel strange, but to mention Princess Diana, it is estimated that everyone will know. The Spencer family is the mother of Princess Diana.
Compared with some joining the giants, the drama of the ascension of the hen's family is different. Princess Diana was able to marry the prince. In addition to her own excellence, her maiden family was also a member of the nobility and had a high status.
So although Princess Diana's solution was sad, her death did not directly decline her mother's side. On the contrary, the Spencer family is still strong and has more influence than ever.
For example, they have a blood relationship with Charles II, Duke of Marlborough, Duke of Devon, Duke of Aberken, and even US President Falk Franklin, and Chicago gangster Al Capone.
"I just came out. This is the youngest daughter of the Spencer family owner Wolf, Dyer Spencer, a master equestrian athlete. She has won the third place in the World Equestrian Masters. She is in the Spencer family. The status is somewhat special.
Although he didn’t control much property or prepare to start a business, he was very much loved by Wolf..." When the two came in, the equestrian competition was about to start.
So at this time it was a little rude to step forward and greet people, and it seemed very abrupt. So Yang Dongxu and Carlo came to the edge of the auditorium to sit down, just like the audience who came to appreciate the race inside the racecourse, and Carlo was quietly introducing Yang Dongxu to some important characters.
Although BMW Motors is very good in China, the Maserati sports car is at the forefront of the world sports car industry. But neither the BMW Motors Company nor Maserati, compared with the Spencer family, are several grades worse, both in terms of assets and social status.
So at the beginning, when Carlo selected the Spencer family, the early contact was not too smooth. However, after some hard work, he still reached out to Spencer, the youngest daughter of the Spencer family, through some relationships.
"After waiting for the equestrian competition, she will go back and change her clothes, then drink something, and then come out to contact her friends. We only have less than 10 minutes of contact time when she drinks." Carlo continued Talking.
"Does she have any hobbies other than equestrian?" Yang Dongxu asked.
This is careful to contact a person, and there is no need to provoke the other party to anger the other party. How long has he not done this kind of thing?
It seems that since the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, although he didn't get much money from it, he hasn't asked for anyone since he got a lot of high-level favors due to the relationship he laid down earlier.
"Clothing design, fashion, jewelry, yes, and food. In addition to equestrians who have won the third place as a master equestrian, she is also her own food critic and honorary commentator invited by Michelin."
"Gourmet? You can make an essay on this, even if you don't know how much she knows about Chinese food?" Yang Dongxu touched his chin.
Michelin and others can do well in the world, and naturally have their own skills. Otherwise, why is it not Midoulin or Micillin that gives the food the same grade?
However, he reserved his opinion on Michelin's rating of China Food. Chinese and Western foods have their own advantages. You have to ask for Chinese food.
Therefore, an honorary commentator of Michelin and his senior Chinese food diners discuss food, and some deserves to be grasped. After all, this time when people are in a strong position, he cannot be too embarrassed.
"There should be a lot of understanding. In fact, when many noble families on the British side choose full-time chefs when conditions permit, Chinese food chefs rank very high in their selection. There are also Chinese chefs in the Queen’s professional chefs team.
However, compared with the authentic Chinese food you eat at BOSS in China, foreign Chinese food has more or less changed. You need to pay attention when talking about it. By the way, English people like to drink tea. Carlo urged.
"I know, black tea, right? This is something to talk about." Yang Dongxu nodded, but his brow was still lightly frowned.
Because the contact time is too short, whether you are talking about food or tea, you will feel a bit too stiff in the less than ten minutes, and it is likely that everyone who talks will be embarrassed.
Even if we can talk very speculatively, this kind of hobby is not talked about in an hour or two. If there is a little atmosphere here, then it will be more embarrassing when the time is over there.
Carlo picked up the important and continued to tell, Yang Dongxu watched the horse's brain running fast. If you are doing a boring thing, you will feel that time passes slowly. For example, Yang Dongxu knows nothing about equestrianism. What he likes is the horse racing, as for the equestrian performance, there is nothing to appreciate the cell.
But if you are in a hurry, you will find that time passes quickly. For example, Yang Dongxu still hasn't figured out how to maximize the effect of these ten minutes, and then the equestrian show is over.
In a round of applause, Daier led the horse back to the stable, and then went to take a shower in the back to change clothes. During this period, Yang Dongxu had about four minutes to think, and forty minutes also passed.
"The big boss of Maserati turned out to be a Chinese, which surprised me a lot." As he sat in the chair thinking about the child, Daier, who had changed clothes, had come to him and sat down.
Yang Dongxu didn't pay much attention to the fact that he was too far away from the racecourse just now, and that Daier was wearing a knight costume and protective gear.
Facing Dyer Yang Dongxu now, she discovered that the girl's height had nearly 1.8 meters~www.readwn.com~ a British girl with long brown wavy hair and a pair of charming sapphire-like binoculars.
The smile feels very intimate, without the arrogance of the young nobles, or a condescending overlook. But there is a sense of distance in the affinity, as if the Queen of England smiled at you again, it seemed very kind. But you can't run over to give this old man a hug.
"If you don't know this information in advance, I think our work is not good enough." Yang Dongxu smiled lightly.
This sentence is a bit unanswered, but Daier obviously understood. If she did not know ahead of time that Maserati’s boss was a Chinese, it would prove that she had not investigated Maserati before.
There are only two reasons for not investigating. One is that Carlo’s work has not been done. Even if he has won such a ten-minute contact time, other work needs to be further strengthened.
The second reason is naturally that Daier has no interest in cooperating with Maserati. Naturally, he does not care who the other party’s boss is, so he was given this opportunity to contact, perhaps a little curious in his heart, or perhaps to pass his ten. Minutes are a bit boring time.
