The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

London, England is a world-renowned financial center, once the capital of the empire on which the sun never sets, and also a world-renowned fog city. The winter weather here is very similar to Yanjing more than ten years later, almost the whole winter is shrouded in thick fog. But London is foggy, while Yanjing is smog.

Wimbledon Stables, one of the five largest horse farms in the UK, is located in the small village of Wimbledon, southwest of London, with a history of more than 100 years. It is the gathering place of many nobles.

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

The men are either in suits and leather shoes, or wearing knight costumes, and the crowd is dancing on the grass from the last century, just like a group of old-fashioned antiques immersed in the glory of the past.

But in fact, the gathering of British nobles is very grand. But unless there are some grand occasions, it won't give people a sense of the European medieval chivalry.

The dress is formal but not as rigid as it looks in the videos and photos. Although the ladies will also dress up to attend, the tutu skirt will only appear on some specific etiquette occasions. Most of them care more about their hats.

It is very important whether it is a man or a woman to have a hat that is exquisite, high-end and beautiful. A black coat, shiny leather shoes, a must-have black hat, and a walking stick are the men's attire that can be seen everywhere on the streets of London in winter and early spring.

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

So at the aristocratic gathering at the Wimbledon Stables on weekends, maybe the knight outfit when riding a horse makes you feel like going back to the Middle Ages. Outing is average.

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

And the knights of the equestrian show are not ordinary professional riders, but the young juniors of the nobles who are now gathering. As a member of the aristocracy in the UK, whether you serve the royal family, even as a doorman, or work in the government, even as an ordinary civil servant.

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

If you want to be an actor, or the parents of athletes will not object. But it is not the kind of star in movies and TV shows, but to be a very high-end opera or drama performer in their opinion.

Athletes are swimmers who feel fine and graceful, or polo. But the best ones are equestrian, or aristocratic sports like snooker, or golf. In their eyes, the others are a bit out of reach, and doing it would be degrading to their own identity.

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

Speaking of the Spencer family alone, people may feel unfamiliar, but when it comes to Princess Diana, everyone will probably know it. The Spencer family was Princess Diana's natal family.

Compared with some joining the wealthy family, the drama of natal chicken dog ascending to heaven is different. Princess Diana was able to marry a prince. In addition to her own excellence, her natal family was also a member of the aristocracy, and her status was very high.

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

For example, they have blood relations with Charles II, the Duke of Marlborough, the Duke of Devon, the Duke of Aberken, even the President of the United States Falk Franklin, and the Chicago gangster Al Capone.

"Just came out, and this is the youngest daughter of Wolf, the owner of the Spencer family, Dale Spencer, a master equestrian athlete. She once won the third place in the World Equestrian Masters. The status is somewhat special.

Although he didn't manage much property, and didn't plan to start a business in any industry, he was very popular with Wolfe." When the two came in, the equestrian competition was about to start.

So at this time, it is impolite to go up and say hello to people, and it seems very abrupt. Therefore, Yang Dongxu and Carlo came to the edge of the auditorium and sat down, as if they were spectators who came to appreciate the race inside the racecourse, while Carlo introduced some important people to Yang Dongxu in a low voice.

Although the BMW Motor Company is very good in China, the Maserati sports car occupies a leading position in the world sports car industry. But both BMW and Maserati are several grades behind the Spencer family, both in terms of assets and social status.

So when Carlo chose the Spencer family at the beginning, the initial contact was not too smooth. However, after some hard work, he still came into contact with the most favored youngest daughter of the Spencer family, Del Spencer, through some connections.

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

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

This person approached a person cautiously, and accompanied the other person throughout the whole process so as not to provoke the other person's anger. 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 won a lot of high-level favors by virtue of the relationship he established in advance, and he hasn't asked anyone anymore.

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

"Gourmet food? You can write something about this, even if you don't know how much she knows about Chinese food?" Yang Dongxu touched his chin.

People like Michelin can do what the world recognizes as good, so they naturally have their own skills. Otherwise, why is Midonglin or Michelin not the food grade?

However, he reserves his opinion on Michelin's rating of Huaxia Food. Both Chinese and Western food have their own strengths. If you insist on the standard of Western food and require Chinese food, it is simply not right.

Therefore, when an honorary reviewer of Michelin discusses food with him, a senior Chinese foodie, he needs to be careful. After all, he is in a strong position this time, so he can't make it too embarrassing.

"There should be a lot of understanding. In fact, when many aristocratic families in the UK choose full-time chefs if their conditions permit, Chinese chefs rank very high in their choice. There are also Chinese chefs in the professional chef team of the Queen of England.

However, compared to the authentic Chinese food you ate in Huaxia, the Chinese food in foreign countries has more or less changed, so you need to pay attention when talking about it. By the way, the British like to drink tea. " Carlo exhorted.

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

Because the contact time is too short, whether you talk about food or tea in less than ten minutes, it will give people a feeling that the cut is too blunt, and everyone in the meeting may be embarrassed.

Even if you can talk very speculatively, this kind of hobbies, if you talk about it for an hour or two, it means you haven't talked about it. If you feel a little atmosphere here, it will be even more embarrassing when the time comes.

Carlo picked up the important ones and continued to instruct him, while Yang Dongxu watched 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 equestrianism. What he likes is galloping horses, but he doesn't have much appreciation for equestrian performances.

But if you are in a hurry, you will find that time flies by. For example, Yang Dongxu hasn't figured out how to maximize the effect of the ten minutes, and then the equestrian show is over.

Amidst a burst of applause, Dai'er led the horse back to the stable, and then went to the back to take a bath and change clothes. During this period, Yang Dongxu had about four minutes to think, but forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

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

Yang Dongxu didn't pay too much attention to it because the distance was too far outside on the racetrack just now, and Dai'er was wearing a knight outfit and protective gear.

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

The smile feels very friendly, without the arrogance of young nobles, or the condescending look down. But there is a sense of distance in the intimacy, as if the Queen of England smiles at you again, looking very kind. But you can't run over and give the old man a hug.

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

This sentence is a bit out of the question, but Daier obviously understands. If she didn't know in advance that Maserati's boss was a Chinese, it would prove that she hadn't investigated Maserati before.

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

The second reason is naturally that Dai'er has no interest in cooperating with Maserati, and naturally she doesn't care who the other party's boss is, so she gave this opportunity to contact, maybe she was a little curious, or it was to pass her time. Minutes are a bit of a boring time.
