Metropolis: My Rising Life

Monaco is not very big, Grace and Chen Yi did not drive, but walked to visit this kingdom.

"My grandfather and grandmother are very affectionate, but it's a pity that my grandmother died very early in the car accident, which made him very sad. My grandfather has not married again since then, just lives alone."

Grace talked about her family's affairs in a slightly sad tone.

But on the whole, she is still so noble and elegant, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, although it is alienated, it is not annoying.

It's just that when she looks at Chen Yi's gaze, the sense of alienation will fade, and the look in her eyes will become more cordial.

"After I was born, my grandfather felt that I looked a lot like my grandmother. He was very happy, so he named me Grace."

The princess of Monaco tells the origin of her name.

The name originally belonged to her grandmother.

Sometimes Europeans and Americans have this habit, and names have the right to inherit.

It is even possible for father and son to have the same name, but it is common for people to add a ‘small’ when calling the son’s name.

Grace will talk to Chen Yi about these family matters, and we can see that her relationship with Chen Yi has become much closer.

The reason for this gift from Chen Yi is that he carefully discovered the meaning of the name ‘Grace’, and that he chose the most right gift and brought the relationship between the two parties closer.

"Grandfather's vision is really good. Only the grandmother in our family has such dark blonde hair, and the other members are brown."

The princess of Monaco gently lifted her soft, beautiful long hair like a willow with her hand, narrowed her eyes and smiled softly.

"This shows that Grace, you are different."

Chen Yi offered compliments in due course.

"Thank you, Ryan!"

Grace smiled happily.

She has heard a lot of these things, but she will be so happy when she hears such compliments from a very good and handsome man from a distant ancient country in the East.

It was as if her charm had been accepted by people from another country with a different culture.

Of course, the most important thing is that the current Chen Yi has good senses in her heart.

The two walked on the streets of Monaco. The streets were very narrow. Most places only allowed one car to go across. It is understandable to think of the country's land.

But in this narrow street, Chen Yi saw many luxury cars. It can even be said that luxury cars are worthless here. With Monaco's per capita income, almost every family can buy them.

And on the Mediterranean coast next to the street, there are also many yachts parked, which makes people dizzy densely.

These yachts include private yachts and yachts of travel companies that can go to sea, and they can go to the Mediterranean Sea at any time.

However, Chen Yi took a visual inspection and found that there is no such super luxurious yacht, and most of the prices should be in the tens of millions.

After all, even in Monaco, not many people can play yachts of that level.

The maintenance fee for super yachts is too expensive. Only the rich who own a large company and have a stable income every year can buy that kind of yacht. The general fixed assets are not enough to feed.

For example, the Princess of Monaco in front of her, most of her net worth is actually fixed assets and some famous paintings, jewelry and other artworks.

"What is this doing? Is there a holiday?"

Chen Yi noticed that many places on the streets of Monte Carlo have been cleared out, no visitors are allowed to enter, and many staff are installing various facilities.(Read more @ mtlarchive.com)

Seeing this, Chen Yi asked.

"Ryan, you are lucky. There will be Formula 1 races in the weekend in two days. This is the Monte Carlo circuit."

Upon hearing Chen Yi's question, Grace just smiled and explained to her.

"This circuit is only 3 kilometers long, it is the shortest F1 circuit in the world, and it is also one of the symbols of Monaco."

"...Because of the narrow track and short schedule, 76 laps here have extremely high technical requirements for the drivers. It can be said that it is the most difficult f1 circuit in the world."

"So if someone wins a championship on this track, then his championship gold content will be higher in the eyes of others."

"...Of course, this extremely technically challenging circuit also has its drawbacks, that is, it is too narrow, you can hardly see overtaking on the Monte Carlo circuit, so what you want to win is the strategy of the race."

"However, the performance requirements of the car on this kind of track will also be lower, because there is no chance to compare with you in a straight line."

Grace explained this Monte Carlo circuit to Chen Yi in detail. As a symbol of Monaco, as a princess, she is naturally familiar with F1.

The people who like Formula 1 in China are actually a minority in China, but this race is the most gold-burning race in the world, and it is an innovation of industrial technology.

Every year, many teams spend a lot of money to research the technology of racing. Every f1 driver can be said to be dancing on the tip of the knife. Those people are the best racing drivers in the world.

This is real speed and passion, and has a strong industrial style.

"Then Ferrari will be miserable on this track."

Chen Yi said gleefully.

Ferrari's technology is very high, and their formula cars are absolutely top-notch technically.

However, the management of this team such as pit stops and tire changes is simply a joke, and it is talked about in the F1 group.

"Ryan, you also like f1?"

Hearing Chen Yi's gloating tone, Grace knew he knew something about f1.

"Fortunately, I just like racing better. Actually, if I didn't learn equestrianism, I might find a way to become an F1 racer."

Chen Yi spread his hands and said with a smile.

Racing can indeed inspire a man's passion. When the system was given the task at that time, he had considered whether to train the racing skills to the full level.

The highest racing event is Formula 1.

But in the end Chen Yi gave up. Compared to f1, what equestrianism can bring to Chen Yi is more intuitive.

"That's a pity, there is one less outstanding driver on the F1 field."

Grace joked.

Chen Yi shrugged and said, "...you are right, Grace, this is a pity for f1."

The two looked at each other and both laughed.

But if Chen Yi really puts his racing skills to the full, then he can really become a legend in the history of f1, he is not telling a lie.

"Several f1 drivers live in Monaco, I can introduce you to you if I have the opportunity."

Grace smiled gracefully.

"Because of a tax?"

Chen Yi asked.

"Yes, Monaco does not have a personal income tax. Formula 1 drivers earn a lot of money. Here they can be exempted from a large part of the tax, followed by Switzerland, where there are many active drivers."

After a pause, Grace held back a smile and said: "...in Switzerland, f1 drivers are not considered professional, so they are vagrant and naturally they don't have to pay taxes."

"Hahaha!!"

Chen Yi was really amused by Grace.

At the same time, he also discovered that the princess knew a lot and was a very knowledgeable person. Of course, it could also be because of her origin that she knew a lot.

"Before every Monte Carlo game, it takes a month to prepare in advance. There will be gp2 games as the preliminary match a few days ago."

"...When F1 starts, we can go to the Prince's Mansion of Monaco, where we can also watch the game."

Grace said with a smile in her eyes and her tone of enthusiasm.

Is this inviting me to her house?

The Prince's Mansion of Monaco is naturally the residence of the Monaco royal family.

He smiled and nodded, "...but disrespectful!"

Chen Yi uses Chinese.

Seeing the doubt on Grace's face, he explained the meaning of the word again in French.

"Chinese is really broad and profound, well, this is an idiom."

Grace tilted her head slightly, her eyes clear, and said with a smile.

The Mediterranean sea breeze is blowing her dark golden hair, and her tall figure makes her look more sexy and charming.

Perhaps she noticed that Chen Yi was looking at her figure, she was a little proud, but she still changed the subject and said:

"...Look, this is the famous Los Angeles hairpin, even if the f1 racer is here, he can only go through the corner at a speed of more than 40 kilometers."

Chen Yi looked at the violent corner, but his mind was on the princess of Monaco.

Compared to this famous track, Grace is more eye-catching. .
