The annual Monaco Yacht Show is the best meeting place for dignitaries. Even newcomers who have just entered this occasion can gain a lot.

This harvest refers to the message level.

These people do not directly leak certain rumors, but consciously express what they want to say in obscurity, and as for what is useful and what is not, a certain amount of analytical ability is required.

There are not too many British here, but there are more oligarchs than the people on the other side of the pond, the chieftains and bigwigs of the Middle East.

"It's like a salon where you can go and meet anyone you want and they don't say no. Lin Yilong explained to Katie, "If you have information about them, you can probably know their position on some issues - people's way of thinking is always the same - but be careful whether it is acted." ”

"Can this thing still be played?"

"Of course, this kind of meeting only lasts for two hours, if people are disguised, what can you know?" Lin Yilong asked rhetorically, "Unless, you can come up with something that will interest them." ”

"In other words, you're here to get business cards?" asked Katie.

"Yes, that's it. Lin Yilong replied, "But this kind of business card is not the same as the business card outside." ”

"So, the recommendation system?" asked Katie.

"Yes, one person can be bought, but two people are not easy to talk about - but then again, if you can buy two people, it means that you are not weak. Lin Yilong said in a low voice, "That's probably how it feels." ”

Lin Yilong saw an acquaintance, Sir Merlot, who was at the Corinth Hotel before, and stepped forward to say hello.

"Sir Merlot!" Lin Yilong and Sir Merlot clinked their glasses, "Sir Merlot also likes sailing?"

"I don't like sailing, I just love the Mediterranean. The old knight replied, "So, Mr. Lin also likes to sail so he came?"

"A little. Lin Yilong replied, "I just finished a trip to the Côte d'Azur last month, and I felt good, so I came over to see if there was a company that could build my own yacht." ”

"Mr. Lin needs to be careful. Sir Merlot kindly reminded that "not every exhibitor here can be trusted. ”

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll be careful. Lin Yilong kept a business smile until he walked away with Katie.

"This man is so rude!" replied Katie, "Haven't you been able to maintain a semblance of politeness to each other before?"

"It's the same when you lose £600 million in the trading market and you have nowhere to vent. Lin Yilong replied, "Moreover, when you have more than half of your own money and have to abandon the most promising products in your hands to pay off your debts, you will be like this." ”

"It's miserable. Katie pursed her lips, not paying attention to the old gentleman.

"Mr. Lin, please let me introduce you to this Mr. Alexander Fiovlov Yakovlov. Seeing that Lin Yilong and Katie had eaten a lot of dust at Sir Merlot's place, the officer in charge of protocol hurriedly arranged for a gentleman who was not accompanied by anyone to befriend Lin Yilong.

"Mr. Alexander Fioflov!" Lin Yilong directly called the gentleman in front of him by name in Russian.

"Does Mr. Lin speak Russian?" said the man in front of him was surprised to see an Asian-faced man speaking Russian.

"Of course!" Lin Yilong replied, "It's just that my accent is a little close to the south, if you think my accent is too rural, please bear with me." ”

"It's nothing, I can understand it anyway. Yakovlov said, "Does your female companion also speak Russian?"

"It's a shame that Katie is from Northern Ireland and speaks some French but not English. Lin Yilong responded, "So, in order to take care of this beautiful lady's emotions, let's switch to English." ”

Katie knew that Lin Yilong knew the Oriental language, and she looked left and right in confusion.

"I just told him that we don't speak foreign languages in order to take care of your emotions, but I think this Mr. Yakovlov will most likely speak French. Lin Yilong said.

"Mr. Lin is really like a god. Mr. Yakovlov politely nodded to Katie, as a kind of exchange of salutes.

This Mr. Yakovlov was very short—compared to Lin Yilong, who could only be said to be not tall—and his body was also thin and thin, but his face was an orthodox Slavic face.

None of the stereotypes will be applied in real life.

"Mr. Yakovlov is here to see the yacht?" asked Lin Yilong.

"Of course. The Russian replied, "I'd like to get a smaller one that can go between Southampton and Novorossiysk, and I like the sun on the Côte d'Azur." ”

"I feel the same way. Lin Yilong replied, "It's just that there are a little more mosquitoes." ”

"There's no way around it. Yakovlov should also complain with him, "So, I hate going to St. Petersburg in the summer, there are too many mosquitoes." ”

"So, that's why I wanted to buy a yacht, so that you can enjoy the sun and sleep well at the same time. Lin Yilong quipped,

"Since we've talked so closely, why don't we find a time for dinner or lunch in the next two days. Yakovlov looked at the time, "I'm sure some of my friends would be very happy to meet someone like Mr. Lin." ”

"Nothing is a problem, I stay at the Grand Hotel de Paris, if there is any news, you can leave me a message through the concierge. Lin Yilong took out his business card from his wallet, "This is my business card." Allow me to be unaccompanied. Later, Mr. Yakovlov also took out his business card in exchange.

The business card was in Russian, and Katie didn't understand it well, but she still received it in her bag.

"Are you really that scared of mosquitoes?" asked Katie.

"Really, I often don't get a good night's sleep. Lin Yilong replied, "So I really rarely travel in the summer." It's not a familiar place in the first place, I don't sleep well, plus mosquitoes...... I can't stay up anyway, I prefer to go shopping in winter or spring, there are definitely fewer mosquitoes. ”

The rest of the time, Lin Yilong and Katie met most of the contractors who were yacht builders, and they were also required to be present at this kind of gathering to market their business, but they were not too attractive.

The party was over, and there was really nothing else at the yacht show that Lin Yilong needed to pay attention to.

When I returned to the hotel where I was staying, I received a message from Mr. Yakovlov, asking them to enjoy the light and chat with friends from the local chamber of commerce tonight.

"It's a social gathering. Lin Yilong said, "After the event, we started to talk about some substantive things. ”
