Chapter 916: You're Not a Gentleman at All

London, England, is the world's famous financial center, once the capital of the empire on which the sun never sets, and the world's famous fog capital. The winter weather here is very similar to Yanjing more than a decade later, and almost the entire winter is shrouded in a thick fog. However, London's is water fog, while Yanjing's is smog.

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

As for the opportunity of the British aristocracy, the first scene that comes to mind is a group of aristocratic women, wearing somewhat exaggerated tutu skirts, and then waiting for elaborate cloth hats.

Men in suits and leather shoes or knights' suits, all of them carry the dances 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 the British aristocracy, although very grand. But unless it's a few grand occasions, it doesn't give the feeling of the age of medieval knights in Europe.

Dressed formally but not as old-fashioned as it may seem in videos and photos, the ladies also dress up, but the tutu is only used for certain ceremonial occasions, and most of them are more concerned with their hats.

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

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

So at the Wimbledon stables aristocracy party on the weekend, maybe the knightly attire when riding a horse makes you feel like you're back in the Middle Ages, while the men dress more formally for work, and the women wear their favorite hats like an outing.

It's Saturday and Wimbledon Racecourse is holding a small gathering of aristocrats and a very favourite equestrian show.

And the knights of the equestrian show are not ordinary professional riders, but the young descendants of the party nobility nowadays. As a member of the aristocracy in England, you serve the royal family, even if it's just a janitor, or you work in the government, even if it's an ordinary civil servant.

It's a very decent job, and you may not get a particularly high salary, 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 not the kind of star in movies and TV series, but to be a very high-end opera or drama performer in their opinion.

Athletes, on the other hand, swim gracefully and swim gracefully, or polo. But the best is similar to equestrianism, or aristocratic sports like snooker, and golf can also be used. The others are a little out of the table in their eyes, and if they do it, it will be an insult to their identity.

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

The Spencer family may feel unfamiliar, but when it comes to Princess Diana, it is estimated that everyone will know. And the Spencer family is Princess Diana's maiden family.

Compared with some wealthy families, the drama of the mother's chicken dog ascending to heaven 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 her status was very high.

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

For example, they are related to Charles II, Duke Marlborough, Duke Devon, Duke Aberken, and even US President Falkland, as well as Chicago gang boss Al Carpen.

"The youngest daughter of Wolf, the current head of the Spencer family, is a master equestrian athlete who has won third place at the World Masters, and her status in the Spencer family is somewhat special.

Although he didn't have much property in charge and didn't plan to start a business, he was very popular with Wolf...... "When the two of them came in, the equestrian competition was about to begin.

So at this time, it is a little impolite to come forward and greet someone, and it seems very abrupt. Therefore, Yang Dongxu and Carlo came to the edge of the audience and sat down, as if they were spectators who had come to enjoy the internal competition of the racecourse, and Carlo introduced some important people to Yang Dongxu in a low voice.

Although BMW is very good in China, Maserati sports cars occupy a leading position in the world's sports car industry. But both BMW and Maserati are several notches behind the Spencer family, 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 came into contact with the Spencer family's current most favored youngest daughter, Dale Spencer, through some connections.

"After the equestrian competition, she'd go to the back to change her clothes, get a drink, and then she'd come out and meet her friends. We only had less than 10 minutes of contact time when she was drinking. Carlo continued.

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

This one is careful to contact a person, and there is also a companion throughout the whole process to not provoke the other party's anger. How long had he not done such a thing?

It seems that since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, although he didn't get much money from it, he got a lot of high-level favors by virtue of the connections he laid down early, and he hasn't asked anyone again.

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

"Food? This can make a fuss, even if I don't know how much she knows about Chinese food?" Yang Dongxu touched his chin.

Michelin or something can be recognized as good in the world, and naturally has its own ability. Otherwise, why isn't it Mi Donglin or Mi Cilin who gives the same level of food?

However, he reserved his opinion on Michelin's rating of Chinese cuisine. Chinese and Western food have their own strengths, you have to ask for Chinese food in the standard of Western food, it's just a donkey's head is not in the horse's mouth.

Therefore, an honorary Michelin reviewer and he, a senior Chinese foodie, discuss food, and there are some measures that need to be grasped, after all, this time people are in a strong position, and he can't make too much embarrassment.

"There should be a lot of understanding, in fact, when many aristocratic families in the UK choose full-time chefs if conditions permit, Chinese chefs rank very high in their selection ranks. The Queen's team of professional chefs also includes Chinese chefs.

However, compared to the authentic Chinese food you eat in Huaxia at BOSS, foreign Chinese food has more or less changed, so you need to pay attention to it when talking about it. By the way, the British love to drink tea. Carlo admonished.

"You know, black tea, right? Yang Dongxu nodded, but his brows were still slightly furrowed.

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 it is very likely that everyone in the meeting will be embarrassed.

Even if it is very speculative to talk about, this kind of hobby thing, not talking about it for an hour or two is equivalent to not talking about it, if you just feel a little atmosphere here, and then the time is up there, it will be even more embarrassing.

Carlo picked up the important ones and continued to advise, and Yang Dongxu watched the racecourse's brain run rapidly. If you do a boring thing, you will feel that time flies very slowly, for example, Yang Dongxu doesn't know anything about equestrianism. He likes to ride horses and gallop wildly, and as for the performance of equestrianism, he has no appreciation for it.

But if you're in a hurry, you'll find that time flies. For example, Yang Dongxu didn't have a clear idea of how to maximize the effect of the ten minutes in his mind, and then the equestrian performance was over.

In a burst of applause, Dai'er first led the horse back to the stable, and then went to the back to take a bath and change clothes, during which Yang Dongxu still had nearly four minutes of thinking time, and the result was that forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

"I was surprised that the big boss of Maserati was a Chinese. While he was sitting in the chair and the child was thinking, Daer, who had changed her clothes, had already come to him, and then sat down in a hurry.

Because the distance was too far on the horse farm outside just now, and Dai'er was wearing a knight's costume and protective gear, Yang Dongxu didn't pay too much attention.

Now facing Daile Yang Dongxu, he found that this girl is nearly 1.8 meters tall, with long brown wavy hair with the logo of a British girl, and a pair of charming sapphire-like eyes.

The smile feels very relatable, without the arrogance of a young nobleman, or a condescending gaze. But there is a sense of distance in the affinity, as if the Queen of England is smiling at you again, and it seems very kind. But you can't run over and give this old man a hug.

"If you didn't know this information in advance, I think we didn't do our job well enough. Yang Dongxu smiled faintly.

This sentence was a bit of an answer, but Dale clearly understood. If she didn't know in advance that the owner of Maserati was 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 is not in place, even if he has won such a ten-minute contact time, but other work needs to be further strengthened.

The second reason is naturally that Dale has no interest in working with Maserati, and naturally she doesn't care who the other party's boss is, so she just gave this opportunity to contact, maybe she was a little curious, or it was to pass the time when she was a little bored for ten minutes.
