If you don't get to talk to your neighbors, you basically lose the social purpose of the participants.

Although he was unable to have more interests with Lin Yilong, Mr. Kulianko, who was next to Lin Yilong, was not discouraged and made an appointment with Lin Yilong to have lunch at the Vista Club the next day.

The Vista Club is located in Mayfair, a lunch-style social club with only 8 tables.

Dinner can have more than 10 dishes, but lunch should not exceed 4 dishes.

Lin Yilong came later, and he met Mr. Kulianko again under the guidance of the waiter and greeted him.

"Good day. Lin Yilong said, "Please forgive me for being a little late. ”

That being said, he pinched his time very precisely, delaying it by less than 30 seconds, so as to avoid a certain "lack of warmth" in the immediate awkward conversation when they met.

"It's purely because I'm early. "Sit down, what do you need?"

"The guest is as he pleases. ”

"Everything is ready-made. Kulianke handed the menu to Lin Yilong.

"A creamy mushroom soup for the starter, a loin-eye steak for the main course, and a cheese platter and coffee for dessert. Lin Yilong took the menu and unceremoniously ordered his favorite dishes.

"Do you need something to drink?" asked the waiter.

"Coke or lemonade would be fine. Lin Yilong said, "My steak should be medium-rare, with cheese sauce." ”

"Forgive me for being abrupt in asking to meet. Mr. Kulenko began by expressing his apologies.

"It's okay, I'm interested, did you invite me here to talk about personal relations or business?" Lin Yilong asked.

"Business. "The Corinthians Hotel, with me as an intermediary, would like to recommend you a new apartment. ”

"But I just moved into my apartment last year and I don't need to buy a new apartment in London just yet. Lin Yilong was puzzled.

"I understand, but I don't think it would have been possible to wait one year to move back to Wales if Mr Lim really didn't have high standards for accommodation. Mr. Kulenko said.

"It seems that Mr. Kulianko, you have done the research, and you even know when I will move. Lin Yilong squinted his eyes and looked at the real estate developer in front of him.

"It's all public information, and I've made some effort. "There is no hostility at all, I just want to make it clear that I think Mr. Lin, if you are financially well-off, you might as well come with me to see the apartment I wish to recommend." ”

It's ridiculous that in a country where everyone is said to be privacy-conscious, the legal definition of "privacy" doesn't exist. In other words, at the national level, there is no such thing as privacy for citizens, only protected confidential information.

In fact, it is understandable. According to the common concept, privacy refers to the information or experience that the person does not want to disclose or share with others, because this definition is very broad, and the scale of what each person is willing to disclose and what he is not willing to disclose is different. For example, people who have been punished and bankrupt are reluctant to share their experiences of bankruptcy or punishment, but this information must be known in many cases, which naturally undermines the conclusion of "reluctance to disclose". After all, some information belongs to personal information that should be protected, and it cannot be accessed casually, so there is a term for "protected personal information".

If, according to the latter statement, the consumption habits and consumption amount on the website belong to this kind of exclusive information, but this kind of information is controlled by Internet companies, and if you want to place an order online, you must go through the collection and authorization of "forced personal information", and inadvertently, the personal information is authorized to these Internet companies. In many cases of extortion and other activities against individuals with protected private information, victims can legally claim compensation from these companies, but it is very difficult due to the limited ability to provide evidence.

To counter the "owner", the information of the owner of the British lands is not confidential, but semi-public.

Don't talk about others, in the several cases of property recovery that Lin Yilong handled before, he has also used a lot of gray methods that are not completely legal. At least he would stop if he could find out where the money in the case went, and by Lin's own standards, he did not reproach Mr. Kulianko for his position in inquiring about his information. It's always a little uncomfortable to be found out like this.

The waiter brought the mushroom soup that Lin Yilong needed and the salmon salad that Mr. Kulianko ordered, so that Lin Yilong's accumulated anger could not be released.

"It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that. Lin Yilong thought about it, and pretended to accept it, since Mr. Kulianko had done so much homework, then he might as well follow his train of thought and go down, anyway, there was no harm, even if he gave up because he finally thought that the project prospects were not good, he would not give Mr. Kulianko an excuse to attack.

After eating, Lin Yilong got into Mr. Kulianko's car and went to the Corinth Hotel behind the Charing Cross Railway Station.

The location of the Corinthian Hotel is not too far from anywhere, just a short walk to Whitehall, Belgravia and Victoria. But aside from the rumored luxury of grace, it seems to be no different from his current apartment on Riverside Street, and the annual property fee is also higher. These disadvantages are not exchanged for comfort, but just grandeur in the eyes of a group of people. If Lin Yilong pursues a style that no one cares about anyway, it is better to go to Hampstead or Surrey to show his financial strength than to get a serviced apartment at the Collins Hotel.

And where the Corinthian Hotel should stand, Lin Yilong saw not a luxury hotel, but a building being renovated.

Lin Yilong looked at Mr. Kulianko in confusion.

"I'm one of the developers of Corinth Apartments, I'm a little tight on cash, and I want to mortgage my share, and I wonder if Mr. Lin is interested in taking over. Mr. Kulenko explained, "As long as 8 million, you can take over my share." ”

"I'll think about it and get back to you on Monday. Lin Yilong replied coldly, then turned around and left, walking back to his apartment by the Waterloo Bridge.

In the eyes of others, this action must be a rejection.

Although his tone and movements were cold, Lin Yilong did arouse great interest: first, if Mr. Kulianko really had a share in it, the project would definitely make money; the transfer of the project to sort out legal responsibilities and deal with legal traps was his field of expertise; finally, he could also eat the truffles produced in Brecken Timbers from the Collins Hotel, and he would be able to get rid of the dependence on luxury brokers on the other side of the pond and London. This is an investment project that will benefit him without harm.

Kulianke's acquaintance with Lin Yilong through a charity dinner is not just an accident, it seems that he has also been carefully prepared, and it is not a "disease indiscriminate doctor". If Lin Yilong's guess is correct, there is a chance that Mr. Kulianke's capital chain is in a state of collapse, and he has to dispose of some of these that can be sold before it is completely broken, otherwise he will not do so much homework and deliberately sell it to Lin Yilong.
