Chapter 155: Etiquette in Europe

On June 29, Lin Yu received a call from Cappus, who was staying in the United States, and the content of the call made Lin Yu break out in a cold sweat.

"Boss, Soros from Wall Street has sent you an invitation to go to Wall Street to attend a Wall Street party."

Hearing Kapus's words, Lin Yu was immediately a little worried and a little puzzled.

"Karpuz, we don't seem to have dealt with Soros much, right?"

"Yes, boss, until now, we haven't dealt with anyone else, except, of course, the Italian side." Capps said after a moment's thought.

Lin Yu frowned, didn't speak, just kept thinking about something, and after thinking for a long time, Lin Yu asked, "In addition to us, who else were invited?" ”

"Since this is a Wall Street gathering, he has sent invitations to many of the world's richest people, including the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family." Capps said.

Before Capuz didn't work for Lin Yu, his social network can be said to be very extensive, and he has friendships with many wealthy people in the United States and senior executives of many companies.

However, in terms of socialization, Lin Yu is still lacking a lot, except for those who work for him, Lin Yu knows very few people. Even people in Italy know Clyde and Capuz, and Lin Yu may not know any of them.

This is not to blame Lin Yu, you must know that it has only taken three years to make a fortune now, which no one can compare, and it is understandable that there are fewer people who know each other.

Hearing the names of the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, Lin Yu's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Are these two families also going to participate?" ”

After hearing this, Capus hurriedly said, "According to my previous investigation, it is very likely that they will send someone to participate. ”

After Lin Yu listened, he thought for a moment and asked, "In addition to these two families, what other families participated?" ”

Capples listened and thought for a moment, and then said: "The DuPont family, the Mellon family, the Cleveland consortium, the Chicago consortium, the California consortium, the Texas consortium and other top American consortia will basically send people. ”

Hearing that so many families and consortia would attend this party, Lin Yu felt his heart flutter while feeling his blood boiling.

Yes, it's boiling.

Over the years, Lin Yu has been developing smoothly, although he has made a lot of money, but he has not yet met those families and consortia, even if he almost collided with Agnelli in Italy, it is just a family in Italy, compared to these consortia in the United States, the Agnelli family is still not enough, if it is not for the European society There are other ancient families, I believe that the whole of Europe will be eaten by those consortia in the United States.

Externally, these families are often united.

"Kaps, do you think I'm going or not?" Without an answer, Lin Yu asked.

Without thinking about it, Cappuses said, "Boss, you must go." ”

"Must go?" Lin Yu frowned.

"Yes, boss, since Soros invited you, then this is respect for you, and you must also give him enough respect, which we cannot be rude. In addition, these big families and consortia have sent people, if we don't go, then those families and consortia will think that we are bigger than them, which is very detrimental to our future development. In addition, it is time for you to get in touch with the upper class figures, which is very beneficial to our future development. Cappus said what he had already analyzed.

Lin Yu nodded as he listened, and waited for Cappus to finish before he said, "Then I have to go like this." ”

Cappuz shrugged his shoulders on the other end of the line and said, "I'm afraid so, boss." ”

Lin Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Has anyone in Europe gone over?" ”

Kapos thought for a moment and said, "I didn't hear that European families and foundations were invited. ”

Lin Yu nodded, and then said, "Since that's the case, then let's go." You are ready to prepare and see what needs to be prepared beforehand. ”

Kapos smiled bitterly twice on the other side of the phone and said, "Boss, there is basically nothing to prepare except for you." ”

"Me? What's wrong with me? Lin Yu was surprised.

"Boss, the most important thing to pay attention to at the top is etiquette, so I'm afraid you have to learn etiquette well in the next time." Cappuz said on the other end of the phone.

Lin Yu smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect that the most important thing to prepare was himself.

By the way, the Americans, the French, and the British are the most decorative. The British pay attention to etiquette because of the heritage of Britain itself, as the former immortal empire and the most noble aristocratic country in Europe, Britain can be said to pay the most attention to etiquette in the whole Europe.

There is a saying in China that it takes three generations to produce one nobleman. Today's wealthy elites also pay great attention to the cultivation of temperament for their children's education. It is understood that many members of the world's largest golf club have begun to let their children learn to play golf, a gentleman's sport, in order to cultivate their children's aristocratic temperament and leadership spirit. Golf is really good for cultivating etiquette. True etiquette is about thinking about others, no matter where it is, and it's the same etiquette that golf emphasises. However, in fact, it is not only children, learning etiquette has nothing to do with age, even if you are very old, you can learn etiquette culture from scratch.

As we all know, the British aristocracy is the most embodying British etiquette, their clean and tidy appearance, gentle temperament, and fashionable and decent dress, which have left a deep impression on people and become synonymous with "English gentlemen". The etiquette of the British aristocracy is also inseparable from the core of "respect for others", and the emphasis on equality between people is the attitude pursued by the British aristocracy, and it is also a tradition inherited by the aristocracy. "To be a true nobleman, you should treat others the way you want to be treated. We often see in the English aristocracy how they treated people from different classes equally, whether it was a domestic servant or a waiter in a restaurant, they treated each other with courtesy. ”

American ** officer Clarence? Thomas once said that a good upbringing can open the door that the best academic qualifications can't.

The aristocratic etiquette in England is indeed very favorable, which is one of the reasons why the etiquette of the British aristocracy is popular. (I'm a big fan of British etiquette.) In fact, if we want to talk about aristocratic etiquette, we have to mention France, because the aristocratic etiquette of the Middle Ages was basically advocated by the French and the French court, and it was quickly imitated by other courts.

In France, aristocrats, whether friend or foe, had to greet each other when they met a man (if he did not wear full-body armor) with the rule of holding his right chest with his left hand, taking off his hat with his right hand, bowing slightly forward and nodding his head. The woman is required to nod her head with her legs slightly bent and her hands slightly on the sides of the skirt. If the two sides are on horseback, the man's etiquette remains the same, and the woman only needs to nod.

The etiquette of the medieval aristocracy in France can be said to be the most cumbersome etiquette, walking etiquette, eating etiquette, talking etiquette, etc., which are extremely cumbersome and complicated.

Nowadays, French etiquette is closely linked with fashion, which makes many people highly respected French etiquette.

The British and French pay attention to etiquette, which can be said to be a cultural inheritance, but the reason why Americans pay attention to etiquette is a little funny.

The United States has no history, so Americans value history more than any country in the world.

No history means no heritage, so Americans' hearts have always been vacant in this area.

When we talk about the history of the United States, we have to start with the colonies. The earliest can be traced back to the eighteenth century, when not to mention China, even Europe has a history of hundreds of thousands of years, and the United States has no dynasty, and no dynasty is destined to have no aristocracy. How can history be counted without dynasties? Of course, the United States cannot be blamed for this, it is not their fault that the history is not long, but the Americans pay more attention to etiquette and history than any other country in the world.

However, the etiquette of the aristocracy also needs history, the existence of history can make people learn to look up and respect, when you feel that there are some things that you can't cross in your life, you can become humble, and humility and respect are the indispensable basic qualities of the aristocracy, and writing like this also requires the accumulation of history and the weight of money.

There are no aristocrats, but to learn aristocratic etiquette, I have to say that Americans are weird.

But Americans are so good, so Lin Yu has to learn this so-called "American aristocratic etiquette" no matter what.

Sighing, Lin Yu said helplessly: "Just learn, but don't learn the etiquette of the United States, learn the ancient etiquette of Europe." ”

Capus smiled and said, "Of course, I won't let you, boss, learn the aristocratic etiquette of this half-American person." ”

Lin Yu was happy when he heard it, and it turned out that not all Americans respected this etiquette very much.

"You can arrange the rest." Lin Yu said.

"I understand the boss, I'll arrange it." As soon as Cappus finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and suddenly said again, as if he remembered something: "Boss, the time for the party is July 22nd, so we still have a long time to prepare." ”

Lin Yu said with a wry smile: "In a month, it is very stressful to learn the etiquette of the British aristocracy." ”

Capps laughed and said, "There's no motivation for stress." ”

Lin Yule was happy, I didn't expect this Capus to understand Chinese culture, it seems that Chinese culture is really broad and profound.
