Chapter Ninety-Four: Their Gold Is as Plentiful as the Sand of the Sea
The Principality of Monaco is a small country, second only to the Vatican, and is a city-state in Europe, about the size of two Forbidden Cities, and belongs to the kind of country that requires a magnifying glass to be found on a map. Monaco was originally unknown in the world, and it has to be from the 27th Oscar in 1956. It was only after Kelly's marriage to His Royal Highness Prince Rainier III, the head of state, that this small and small country really began to become famous all over the world.
Monaco is located in the south of France, in addition to the southern coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, the whole territory is surrounded by France on the north, west and east. Many South American drug lords have a lifelong desire to save enough money to retire there.
It's a country of the rich, and there are only two classes in society, those who own jets and those who ride buses. One is the local upper class in Monaco, and the other is the people who serve this upper class, with nearly 40,000 people coming by bus every day from France and Italy to serve the rich.
Their gold is as abundant as the sand of the sea.
It's just that the so-called upper class also has different classes, just like the presidents of the United States and Ethiopia, although they are both heads of state and hold the power of the same country, their international status is completely different.
These are different classes of the same face.
The powerful also have a pyramid, and each brick weighs differently and has a different size. And in this pyramid of power, the most important, the top, and the most striking is undoubtedly the top layer, where perhaps there can be another name, Rare.
The Rare Club is at the top of this pyramid of power.
The tallest building in Monaco has 60 floors, and the 59 floors from the bottom to the top are for the top floor, and the big names they serve don't go here, their path is in the sky.
They fly in helicopters.
Here you will meet many famous people. For example, those who often appear on the covers of various magazines, but here their identity is just a beautiful vase, but Rao is like this, there are also many people who want to be this vase, and they are proud to get an invitation from the Rare club. The last time Duanmu Ci came here. The silent singer in the corner is actually the winner of the latest Grammy Awards in the United States.
Here, however, he is nothing more than a live version of the "sound".
So sometimes the people who are really famous may not be the most powerful people, but some obscure people are the real powerful. The so-called richest man in the world, Bill. Gates just has a standing seat here.
The original intention of the Rare Club was to give the court nobles a platform for communication, and the addition of the financial aristocracy was also a later thing, so this caused the "family history" in the club to pervade, and the big family with a long history was advocated here. and not an upstart who jumped up on the tide of the times.
There are big bankers inherited from the times, and their management model is family-run, they don't cooperate with outsiders, and they refuse to go public and disclose their assets. So no one knows how much wealth they have, but there is one thing that everyone knows, that is, at least half of the richest people on the Forbes list of the world's richest people are not qualified to stand in that position.
This includes Bill. Gates, he is only the nominal richest man in the world, and the real richest man is not actually known.
Aslan once joked, "If someone attacks this building tonight." Then tomorrow is not the end of the world, but a new era of world happiness. Although this is an exaggeration, it also illustrates some facts.

After a flight over the clouds, Duanmuci got off the plane at the Côte d'Ivoire-Nice Côte d'Azur airport in France, and the reason why he wanted to make a detour to France was not because he wanted to walk around France, but because there was no airport in Monaco. The small principality was a small country, and a larger international airport was estimated to be about the size of the country, and they didn't have that much land.
Duanmu had wanted to rest in Nice for the night and then arrive in Monaco by helicopter early the next morning. However, he changed his mind at the moment, because he suddenly realized that the weather conditions in Nice were not very good, and it might be raining. The weather was obviously not suitable for helicopter flights, so he decided to go straight by car, expecting to arrive when the moon was very high.
In fact, if Duanmu Ci informed the Rare Club of his itinerary, then whether it was windy or rainy, even if it was an earthquake, the club would send someone to pick him up, but Duanmu Ci concealed his itinerary for some reason. So he had to find a taxi himself
About 400 francs
Most of the restaurants in Monte Carlo are located on the beachfront with a view of the blue sea, and they are also very luxurious, luxurious to the extreme. And it's complemented by the deliciousness, which has been a popular destination for foodies since the 19th century. Monaco's chefs are masters of how to bring passion to their cuisine, even changing with the seasons, so that customers can truly feel at one with the environment and constantly experience the freshness.
However, Duanmu Ci didn't have such a Yaxing, he just wanted to find a place to sleep quickly. He has properties all over the world, but not in Monaco, because he doesn't think it's a good environment, not in terms of the human environment and the natural environment, but because he really doesn't want to be neighbors with certain people.
Even if those "neighbors" don't live here all the time
So in the past, when he came to this place, he rarely even stayed in a hotel, and usually stayed in a nearby French town, and if necessary, he would come by helicopter temporarily.
Duanmu Ci found a star-rated hotel to live in, and after a while, he didn't want to eat anything, but just called Duanmu Jin and asked him to come over and bring some local snacks from Monaco by the way.
Duanmu Jin is the Duanmu family's spokesperson who stayed in the Rare Club, presiding over some specific affairs, and his status is similar to that of China's representative to the United Nations. He was originally a Chinese orphan, Duanmu Ci took him in, and later saw that he was talented and capable, so he gave him the surname "Duanmu".
Duanmu Jin, as the speaker of the Duanmu family in the Rare Club, of course has a high say in the recent situation of the club's management meeting, and if Duanmu Ci wants to do something, he has to listen to his voice first.
Duanmu Jin came quickly, and when he came, he also carried some shortbread in his hand, which is the most famous snack of Monaco, known as "Prince Albert's favorite".
After Duanmu Jin saw the ceremony, he sat down in front of Duanmu Ci, and the first sentence at the beginning was-
"It's not good!"
