St. Moritz Ski Resort is not the most beautiful ski area in Switzerland, nor is it the most exciting ski area in Switzerland, but overall, it is the largest ski area in Switzerland.

St. Moritz is a small town in a valley surrounded by majestic mountains, and on the northern slopes of St. Moritz alone, there are 350 kilometres of pistes that can satisfy all levels.

In addition, there is a snow area for children in each ski area, and there are various entertainment facilities to suit everyone's needs.

When I went up the mountain, it was not yet light, the sky was blue, and all around was the peaks and woods of the Hessian forest, only the white snow and the little lights brought a glimmer of light.

Up the mountain from St. Moritz, there are dozens of different lifts to reach different pistes. Prince Felipe is a master skier, his greatest passions are skiing and sailing, and he once competed in the Olympic Classical Sailing Competition, where he finished sixth.

However, although his skills are good, his status is important, so those thrilling tracks, even if he wants to experience them, those guards will not allow them.

So, they chose a medium-strush, extra-long piste and prepared to ski for an hour at a time before descending for breakfast.

He woke up at six o'clock, but in winter St. Moritz didn't get up until nearly nine o'clock, and he exercised for nearly an hour before catching the first cable car up the mountain with Prince Felipe, who had gotten up.

When I went out, I looked at the temperature, and the temperature at the bottom of the mountain was minus seven degrees, and the top of the mountain should be two or three degrees lower. In particular, after the cable car crosses the mountainside, the whistling wind enters through the cracks in the cable car door, making it feel a biting cold.

Zhou You wore a small amount, just a thermal underwear, a camel hair sweater, and a windproof ski jacket outside. I also wore a rare pair of warm autumn pants underneath, and then I also wore a leather hat with ear protection.

In addition to this, each person has a dark goggles, a protective helmet and gloves.

The prince and his guards who came with him were all heavily armed, and each one was wrapped in a thick wrap like a great bear.

On the gondola, everyone is checking their skis and waxing their skis. It's all do-it-yourself, because you can only master it better if you know your own skis.

They opted for mid-range squeezes, which have moderate speed and stability for experienced skis.

The prince adjusted his skis, pulled all his clothes up, and fastened them tightly. Seeing that Zhou You was enjoying the scenery around him, there seemed to be no sign of fear of the cold at all, and he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Zhou, aren't you afraid of the cold?" ”

"Just call me Evan, for me, today is already the thickest one to wear."

Felipe smiled: "Then you can call me Felipe in the future, you don't have to call His Royal Highness the Prince every time." You're friends with Letizia, and we're friends now, aren't we? ”

Zhou You shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Of course, I'm also very happy to be a real friend with you." ”

The wind covered the snow on the ground, and when the cable car reached the top of the mountain, it was not yet dawn, but the line of sight was far away.

However, at this time, due to the rise of the warm air flow in the valley, after coming into contact with the cold air flow above, it becomes a layer of mist. Clouds of fog slowly rose, forming low-pressure clouds halfway up the mountainside, and the peaks seemed to be like fairy mountains, only the top of the mountain was exposed, which was extremely beautiful.

However, although the environment is beautiful, it is not suitable for skiing, because you can't see the route, and it is easy to hit trees or large rocks.

The trail they chose can also reach a normal speed of 30 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed can reach 100 kilometers per hour. At such speeds, if you hit a tree or a large rock, you can easily lose your life.

Therefore, although we were the first tourists to go up the mountain, we were not allowed to go up, and everyone saw that the fog could not dissipate for a while, so they simply enjoyed the scenery from the observation deck at the top of the mountain.

Zhou You fell in love with this natural scenery, and even a pair of eyes felt that it was not enough. At this time, the sun does not come out, and there is no need to worry about snow blindness caused by the reflection of the snow, and you can directly watch the beautiful scenery with your eyes.

In addition to the white snow and white clouds, the rocks and trees on the top of the mountain all show different shades of ink, like a Chinese landscape ink painting.

Just seeing such a beautiful scenery, Zhou You already feels that the trip is worthwhile, even if he doesn't ski, he is satisfied.

They waited for an hour, until the red sun slowly rose from among the mountains, reflecting the golden light in the sky, and the clouds and mist that permeated their feet slowly dissipated.

The snow on the top of the mountain takes on a charming golden yellow color when illuminated by the sun, and this beauty makes Zhou Dengshi want to buy a mountain villa here.

When the clouds cleared, the prince and Zhou You put on their skis and goggles, and were ready to go as the first men.

The two security guards slid down first, followed by the prince and Garin. Zhou You followed them, put the lanyard of the ski pole on his wrist, lifted his weight up, and pushed it back hard, and slid down the smooth slope with a 30-degree slope.

For skiing, Zhou is not newbie, but the technique is not very good. In his previous life, he had only played a limited number of times. However, skiing is similar to ice skating and water skiing, and the control of the body is far greater than that of ordinary people, so although there is not much fun, because it will, at least people will not turn on their backs.

At the beginning of the straight, Zhou You has been using his body to get familiar with this rhythm. The snowflakes they had brought up by the prince in front of him splashed on his face, and the slightest coolness made his brain sober. The resistance of the snow ranged from the ankles to the knees to the thighs, and the ski poles of the upper body touched the ground from time to time, creating a cycle of power throughout his body. When Zhou You became familiar with this kind of force, the balance of the body was completely maintained.

He was followed by two guards who were proficient in skiing, and at first, they carefully followed Zhou You, ready to help at any time, but they were relieved to see that Zhou You's movements were not very skillful, but they remained very stable.

The trail is of medium difficulty, with no steep descents or jungle in between, except for a slightly steeper slope and fast speeds. In addition, there are not many corners on the slopes, so although some fun is missing, the safety is still guaranteed.

Along the way, only one guard fell because of his single-mindedness, and the others came down safely. From the slope to the plane, the prince and Zhou You also had a plane race, and the result was, of course, the prince won.

It's not that Zhou Youqian is humble, his skiing skills are compared to the prince, that is the gap between amateur and professional. Although his physical fitness was much better, he still couldn't compare to the prince in this kind of sport, which was more skillful than physical.

This also aroused the competitive spirit of the tour, and for two days in a row they spent the day on the ski slopes, and as for a group of women, they took their children to the playground for a day, and after satisfying the children's fun, they turned their interest to preparing for the Christmas ball.

Although St. Moritz is only a small city of more than 4,000 people, in the center of the city on the Avenue de Seres there are Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and other international luxury brands, because this is the most popular resort, so the brand renewal rate here is even faster than Paris. It also provided a great place for a group of women to shop and give each other a whole bunch of Christmas presents.

And there is a group of people, but because of the prince's proposal, they have entered a busy state of work during the Christmas period.

The company's investment in South America is mainly in the basic energy industry, in addition to oil and minerals, most involved in the import and export of specialty products and infrastructure. This is because large enterprises in the mainland have a solid foundation in these aspects, such as high-end Seiko, and the competitiveness of mainland enterprises is not enough.

In these aspects, the companies that travel around generally occupy a certain proportion of shares in the main pillar industries, and in the supporting industries, they are mainly supported by enterprises in the country where they are located.

However, in many industries, the technical capacity of the host country is not necessarily sufficient. To give a very simple example, oil extraction involves very high-end technical services, and there are nearly 20 kinds of chemical products alone. When the host country cannot be satisfied, the mainland cannot be satisfied. Then you can only source globally.

Spain has limited ability to operate in large companies, but they have a good ability in small businesses, otherwise their country's economic power would not have risen from 10th to 8th in the world.

However, the past few years have also been Spain's last glory, and after 2008, Spain's ranking fell from the top 10.

Because of the technological advantages of small Spanish companies, they have a natural complementarity with mainland companies and companies that travel around. Therefore, Sanchez and his team must carefully coordinate the cooperation space between several parties, leaving enough business scope for Spanish companies.

However, this kind of cooperation must not harm the interests of mainland enterprises, companies traveling around, and enterprises in the host country. However, due to the modelling of cooperation, it is not very difficult to leave a certain profit margin for Spanish enterprises, and the key is to negotiate later.

Although it is overtime on holidays, Sanchez and the secretarial team in Singapore do not suffer from overtime, which is also because their work is actually not very hard, and it is rare to encounter such times. But since we have encountered such a time, it is related to the development strategy of the enterprise in the next few years, even if it is a holiday, we must come up with a suitable plan as soon as possible.

It was at this time that at midnight in Europe on December 26, a catastrophe broke out as scheduled.

Because of the Christmas revelry, he drank a lot of wine during the evening, and after spending time with Gracia that night, he fell asleep. When he received Yan Fangqing's call, he was still a little angry for a while, but when he heard the voice on the phone, his sleepiness dissipated.

After a moment of silence, his brain immediately raced. "Daughter-in-law, in the name of the Zhou Foundation, immediately send condolences to the affected countries. Mobilize $50 million in relief supplies, and then put $100 million in cash into relief. ”

"Where to mobilize supplies? How to distribute the funds, what purpose do we want to achieve, my mind is blank now, husband, come back quickly, these are the best for you to come forward. ”

"You arranged for Liu Qidong to raise relief materials, mainly in terms of pure water, food and tents. Except for Indonesia, other countries are allocated according to the severity of the disaster...... In this case, you raise the supplies first, and I'll arrange the rest. ”

Gràcia, who was woken up, opened her eyes and asked sleepily, "My dear, what happened?" ”

"There was a big tsunami in the Indian Ocean, I have to rush back to Singapore immediately, you help me contact the crew, apply for a route immediately, I am going to say goodbye to the prince and them now......"

The quiet hotel in the early morning became noisy for a while, not only Zhouyou, but the prince and they also received the news, at this time, no one was still thinking about vacation, Zhouyou was going back to Singapore, and they were all arranging to return to Spain.

Southeast Asia, as the favorite holiday destination of Europeans, is also during the Christmas season, so there are a large number of European tourists stranded in Southeast Asia. At this time, even the princes and they can't continue to stay here for a vacation as if nothing happened, otherwise, it will be a big scandal if the media discloses it.

However, they were not so anxious to travel around, and they would not set off until after dawn.

Zhou was anxious because the time difference in Europe was already six or seven hours later than in Asia, and even if he set off at five or six o'clock in the morning and spent seven or eight hours to Singapore, it would be dark, and the time of the day would pass.

At night, it was not so dark because of the snow all around. The plane took off from the airport in St. Moritz, entered the stratosphere more than 10,000 meters, and traveled around unfastening its seat belts and opening the plane's communication system with the outside world.

The first step is to raise relief materials, and traveling around is not about having money and nowhere to spend, nor is it about wanting to do good deeds without leaving a name. Since it costs money, it is worth every penny.

Just like Indonesia, which was the hardest hit this time, I didn't want to donate a penny or a bottle of water when I traveled around. Since he is persona non grata in Indonesia, not to mention that more than 200,000 people have died in Indonesia, even if 2 million people have died, he will not blink an eye.

But as the richest man and one of the most influential people in Southeast Asia, he will be criticized countless times if he does not donate money in the face of a catastrophe this time.

Therefore, this time he not only has to donate, but also has to donate beyond reproach, but Indonesia is definitely not within the scope of his donation, even if Indonesia is the most affected area.

When night fell again, Zhou You landed at Paya Lebar Airport in Singapore, and without bothering to go home, the convoy that greeted him took him directly to the brightly lit Blarney Island headquarters.
