Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The world-famous financial center of London, England, was once the capital of an empire where the sun never set, and was also a world-famous fog city. The weather here in winter is very similar to that of Yanjing more than ten years later. Almost the entire winter is shrouded in thick fog.

中.But London’s is water smog, while Yanjing’s is smog.

Wimbledon Stables is one of the top five racecourses in the UK. It is located in the small village of Wimbledon in southwest London. It has a history of more than a hundred years. It is a gathering place for many aristocrats.

As for the opportunity for British aristocrats, the first scene that people think of is a group of women with aristocratic temperament, wearing exaggerated tutu skirts and exquisite cloth hats.

The men were either in suits or wearing knight costumes, and everyone was dancing on the grass from the last century, like a group of old-fashioned antiques immersed in the glory of the past.

But in fact, although the gatherings of British nobles are very grand, unless there are some grand occasions, they will not give people the feeling of the European medieval chivalry era.

The dress is formal but not as old-fashioned as it looks in the videos and photos. Although ladies will also dress up to attend, tutu skirts will only appear on some specific ceremonial occasions. Most of them are more concerned about their hats.

It is very important for both men and women to have an exquisite, high-end and beautiful hat. A black coat, shiny leather shoes, a certain black hat, and a walking stick, this is what you need in London in winter and early spring.

Men's costumes can be seen everywhere on the street.

Women's hat styles are much more varied, and they don't wear them every day like men do. They only wear their favorite hats when attending banquets.

So at the aristocratic party at Wimbledon Stables on the weekend, maybe the knight's costume when riding a horse makes you feel like you are back in the Middle Ages. At other times, men are more like wearing very formal clothes when going to work, and women are wearing their favorite hats.

An ordinary outing.

Today is Saturday, Wimbledon Racecourse is holding a small gathering among nobles, and there is an equestrian show that everyone likes very much.

Moreover, the knights in the equestrian show are not ordinary professional riders, but young descendants of the nobility who are currently gathering. As a member of the nobility in the UK, whether you are serving the royal family, even if you are just a doorman, or working in the government, even if you are an ordinary

of civil servants.

These are very respectable jobs. You may not get a particularly high salary from such a job, but you can get a good social status.

If you want to be an actor, or if you are an athlete, your parents will not object. But it is not the kind of star in movies and TV shows, but you want to be an opera or drama performer, which they think is very high-end.

For athletes, they feel good about elegant swimming or polo. But the best ones are similar to equestrian, or aristocratic sports like snooker, and golf is also acceptable. Others are a bit unworthy in their eyes.

On the counter, if you do it, it will be an insult to your own identity.

Yang Dongxu walked into the racecourse under the guidance of the racecourse staff, followed by Maserati CEO Carlo Rossi. After several months of screening and contact, Carlo finally found a very suitable partner——

Spencer family.

People may feel unfamiliar just by talking about the Spencer family, but when it comes to Princess Diana, everyone will probably know it. And the Spencer family is Princess Diana’s natal family.

Compared with some people who join a wealthy family, the drama of their natal family's chickens and dogs ascending to heaven is different. Princess Diana was able to marry a prince because, in addition to her own excellence, her natal family was also a member of the aristocracy and had a high status.

So although Princess Diana's resolution is sad, her death did not directly cause the decline of her natal family. On the contrary, the Spencer family is still strong and more influential than before.

For example, they are related by blood to Charles II, the Duke of Marlborough, the Duke of Devon, the Duke of Aberconn, and even US President Franklyn, and Chicago gang leader Al Capone.

"Just came out. This is the youngest daughter of the current head of the Spencer family, Wolf. Dale Spencer is a master equestrian. She once won the third place in the World Equestrian Masters. She is a member of the Spencer family.

The status is somewhat special.

Although he doesn't control much property, and he doesn't plan to start a business in any industry, he is very popular with Wolf..." When the two people came in, the equestrian competition was about to begin.

So it was a bit impolite and abrupt to greet people at this time. Therefore, Yang Dongxu and Carlo came to the edge of the auditorium and sat down, as if they were spectators who came to enjoy the internal competition of the racecourse, while Carlo whispered.

Introducing some important figures to Yang Dongxu.

Although the BMW Motor Company is very good in China, and the Maserati sports car occupies a leading position in the world's sports car industry. However, both BMW Motor Company and Maserati are several grades behind the Spencer family.

Assets are still based on social status.

So when Carlo chose the Spencer family, his early contacts were not very smooth. However, after some hard work, he was able to get in touch with the Spencer family's most favored youngest daughter, Del, through some connections.

-Spencer.

"After the equestrian competition, she will go to the back to change clothes, then have a drink, and then come out to interact with her friends. We only have less than ten minutes of contact time with her while she is drinking." Carlo continued.

Said.

"Does she have any other hobbies besides equestrian?" Yang Dongxu asked.

He approached a person cautiously, and accompanied him throughout the whole process so as not to make him angry. How long had it been since he had done this kind of thing?

It seems that since the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, although he didn't make much money from it, but he got a lot of favors from high-level officials by virtue of the connections he established in advance, he hasn't asked anyone for help.

"Clothing design, fashion, jewelry, and yes, food. In addition to winning third place in equestrian and being a master equestrian, she is also her own food critic and an honorary reviewer specially invited by Michelin."

"Is it delicious food? This could be something to write about, even if I don't know how much she knows about Chinese food?" Yang Dongxu touched his chin.

If someone like Michelin can be recognized as good by the world, they naturally have their own abilities. Otherwise, why wouldn’t Michelin or Michelin be the only ones who give the food the same rating?

However, he reserves his own opinion on Michelin's rating of Chinese cuisine. Chinese and Western food have their own merits, and if you insist on demanding Chinese food according to the standards of Western food, it is completely wrong.

Therefore, when a Michelin honorary reviewer discusses food with him, a senior Chinese foodie, he needs to exercise some caution. After all, this time he is in a strong position and he cannot make it too embarrassing.

"I should know a lot. In fact, when many aristocratic families in the UK choose full-time chefs if their conditions permit, Chinese chefs rank high in their selection. There are also Chinese chefs in the Queen's professional chef team.

But compared to BOSS, the authentic Chinese food you eat in China, foreign Chinese food has more or less changes, so you need to pay attention when talking about it. By the way, the British all like to drink tea." Carlo

warned.

"You know, black tea, right? We can talk about this." Yang Dongxu nodded, but still frowned slightly.

Because the contact time is too short, whether you are talking about food or tea in less than ten minutes, it will give people the feeling of being too abrupt, and it is very likely that everyone in the conversation will be embarrassed.

Even if we can talk about something very interesting, if we talk about things like hobbies and interests for less than an hour or two, it means we haven't talked about it. If we just feel a bit of atmosphere here, and then the time is up over there, it will be even more embarrassing.

Carlo picked up the important things and continued to give instructions. Yang Dongxu looked at the racecourse and his mind was running fast. If you are doing something boring, you will feel that time passes very slowly. For example, Yang Dongxu knows nothing about equestrian. What he likes is galloping horses.

, as for performance equestrian, I don’t have much appreciation for it.

But if you are in a hurry, you will find that time passes very quickly. For example, Yang Dongxu has not figured out how to maximize the effect of these ten minutes, and then the equestrian show is over.

Amidst a burst of applause, Dai'er first led the horse back to the stable, and then went to the back to take a shower and change clothes. During this period, Yang Dongxu still had nearly four minutes of thinking time, but the forty minutes passed by in the blink of an eye.

"The big boss of Maserati is actually a Chinese, which surprises me." Just as he was sitting on the chair and thinking, Dai'er, who had changed her clothes, had already come to him and sat down calmly.

Because the distance was too far outside on the racecourse just now, and because Daier was wearing a knight's uniform and protective gear, Yang Dongxu didn't pay too much attention.

Now when I face Dai'er Yang Dongxu, I realize that this girl is nearly 1.8 meters tall, with long brown wavy hair that is the hallmark of a British girl, and a pair of charming sapphire-like eyes.

The smile feels very friendly, without the arrogance of a young aristocrat, or the condescending look down on you. But there is a sense of distance in the intimacy, just like the Queen of England smiles at you again, looking very kind. But you can't run over.

Give this old man a hug.

"If you didn't know this information in advance, I think our work is not good enough." Yang Dongxu smiled faintly.

This sentence was a bit unanswered, but Dai'er obviously understood it. If she didn't know in advance that Maserati's boss was a Chinese, it would mean that she had not done any research on Maserati before.

There are only two reasons why there is no investigation. One is that Carlo's work was not done well. Even if he got such a ten-minute contact time, other work still needs to be further strengthened.

The second reason is naturally that Daier has no interest in cooperating with Maserati, and naturally doesn't care who the other party's boss is, so she only gave this opportunity to get in touch, maybe because she was a little curious, or to kill herself.

Minutes were a bit boring.
