On June 29, Lin Yu received a call from Capps who was staying in the United States, but the content of the call scared Lin Yu into a cold sweat.
"Boss, Soros of Wall Street has sent you an invitation letter, asking you to go to Wall Street to attend a Wall Street party."
When Lin Yu heard Capps' words, he was immediately worried and confused.
"Caps, it seems that we have never had any dealings with Soros, right?"
"Yes, boss, so far, we have not had any dealings with others, except in Italy, of course." Capps said after thinking.
Lin Yu frowned, didn't say anything, but was just thinking about something. After thinking for a long time, Lin Yu asked, "Who else have you invited besides us?"
"Since this was a Wall Street party, he sent invitations to many wealthy people in the world, including the Rockefeller and the Morgan family," Capps said.
Before Cappus worked for Lin Yu, his social interactions can be said to be very extensive. He had friendships with many American wealthy people and senior executives of many companies. Cappus could still find out about this news. In addition, Soros also explained this when he invited him.
However, when it comes to social interaction, Lin Yu still lacks a lot. Except for those who work for him, Lin Yu knows very few people. Even Italians know Clyde and Capps, and Lin Yu may not know any of them.
This is not a fault for Lin Yu. You must know that it only took three years to become rich. No one can compare to this point. It is understandable if there are fewer people who know each other.
When Lin Yu heard the names of the Rockefeller and Morgan families, he moved his heart and asked quickly: "Do you want these two families to participate?"
Capps quickly said, "Based on my previous investigation, they are likely to send someone to participate."
After hearing this, Lin Yu thought for a while and asked, "What other families are there in addition to these two big families?"
Capps said after listening to it, then said, "The DuPont family, Mellon family, Cleveland consortium, Chicago consortium, California consortium, Texas consortium and other top consortiums in the United States will basically send people."
When Lin Yu was shocked when he heard that so many families and consortiums were attending this party, he felt his blood boiling.
Yes, it's just boiling.
Lin Yu has been developing smoothly over the years. Although he has made a lot of money, he has not met those families and consortiums yet. Even if he almost collided with Agnelli in Italy, it was just an Italian family. Compared with these consortiums in the United States, the Agnelli family is still not enough. If it weren't for the European society and other ancient families, I believe that the entire Europe would have been jointly eaten by the consortiums in the United States.
You should know that in terms of external aspects, these families are often united.
"Caps, do you think I'll go or not?" Lin Yu asked without an answer.
Capps said without thinking: "Boss, you must go."
"Must go?" Lin Yu frowned.
"Yes, boss, since Soros has invited you, this is respect for you, and you must also give him enough respect. We cannot be rude. Also, these big families and consortiums have sent people. If we don't go, it will make those families and consortiums feel that we are bigger than them, which is very unfavorable for our future development. In addition, boss, you should also contact people from the upper class, which is very beneficial for our future development." Capps said what he had analyzed before.
Lin Yu nodded while listening, and then he said, "If this happens, I will have to go."
Capps shrugged on the other end of the phone and said, "I'm afraid that's the case, boss."
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is anyone in Europe going over?"
Capps thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of the invitation of European families and consortiums."
Lin Yu nodded and then said, "Since that's the case, let's go. You are ready to prepare and see if there is anything you need to prepare in advance."
Capps smiled bitterly on the other side of the phone and said, "Boss, there is basically nothing to prepare except you."
"Me? What's wrong with me?" Lin Yu said in surprise.
"Boss, the most important thing you need to pay attention to in the upper class is etiquette, so I'm afraid you have to learn etiquette well in the next time." Capps said on the other end of the phone.
Lin Yu smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect that the one he needed to prepare the most was himself.
By the way, Americans, French and British people pay the most attention to etiquette. The British pay attention to etiquette because of the heritage of Britain itself. As the former Empire of the Sun and the most noble aristocratic country in Europe, Britain can be said to have paid the most attention to etiquette throughout Europe.
There is a Chinese saying that only three generations have produced a noble family. Today's wealth elites also focus on the cultivation of temperament for their children. It is understood that many members of the world's largest club have already started to let their children learn the gentleman's sport of golf early in order to cultivate their children's aristocratic temperament and leadership spirit. Golf does have a very good effect in cultivating etiquette. Real etiquette is essentially for others wherever they are, which is the same as the etiquette emphasized by golf. However, it is not just for children. Learning etiquette has nothing to do with age. Even if you are old, you can start learning etiquette culture from scratch.
As we all know, the British aristocratic class that best reflects British etiquette is the British aristocratic class. Their clean and tidy appearance, gentle temperament, and fashionable and decent clothes left a deep impression on people and became synonymous with "British gentleman". British aristocratic etiquette is also the core of "respect for others". Paying attention to equality between people is the attitude pursued by British aristocrats and a tradition inherited by the aristocrats. "To become a true aristocrat, you should treat others in the way you want to be treated. We often see in British aristocrats how they treat people from different classes equally, whether they are servants at home or waiters in restaurants, they treat each other with courtesy."
US Justice Clarence Thomas once said: Good education can open the door that cannot be opened with the best education.
The British aristocratic etiquette is indeed very popular, which is also one of the reasons why the British aristocratic etiquette is popular. (I myself prefer British etiquette.)
In fact, when it comes to aristocratic etiquette, we also need to mention France, because the aristocratic etiquette in the medieval era was basically advocated by the French and the French court, and was quickly followed by other courts.
In France, nobility, whether enemies or friends, must greet each other when meeting. The man (if not wearing full-body armor) is to support the right chest with his left hand, take off his hat with his right hand, and bow his body slightly forward and nod at the same time. The woman stipulates that his legs are slightly bent and his knees are slightly raised on both sides of the skirt with his hands, and nod to greet him. If both parties are on the back of the horse, the man's etiquette remains unchanged, and the woman only needs to nod.
The etiquette of medieval aristocratic etiquette in France can be said to be the most complicated etiquette, walking etiquette, eating etiquette, talking etiquette, etc., which are extremely complicated and complicated.
But now, French etiquette is closely linked to fashion, which makes many people highly respect French etiquette.
The British and French pay attention to etiquette can be said to be a cultural heritage, but the reason why Americans pay attention to etiquette is somewhat funny.
The United States has no history, so Americans value history more than any country in the world.
Without history, there is no background, so the hearts of Americans have always been vacant in this area.
When talking about the history of the United States, it starts with the colonies. It was traced back to the 18th century. Not to mention China, even Europe has a history of hundreds or thousands of years. Without dynasties, the United States is destined to be without nobles. How can it be considered history without dynasties? Of course, this cannot be blamed on the United States. It is not their fault that it has a long history, but Americans pay more attention to etiquette and history than any country in the world.
However, the etiquette of aristocrats also requires history. The existence of history can make people learn to look up and respect. Only when you feel that some things are something you cannot overcome in your life can you become humble. Humility and respect are indispensable basic qualities for aristocrats. Writing like this requires the accumulation of history and the slightest weight of money.
There are no nobles, but they have to learn the etiquette of nobles. I have to say that Americans are very strange.
But Americans are happy with this, so Lin Yu must learn this so-called "American aristocratic etiquette" no matter what.
After sighing, Lin Yu said helplessly: "Learn just learn, but don't learn the American etiquette, learn the ancient etiquette of Europe."
Capps smiled and said, "Of course, you will never let your boss learn the aristocratic etiquette of this half-baked American one."
Lin Yu was amused when he heard this, and it turned out that not all Americans highly praised this etiquette.
"You'll just arrange the rest." Lin Yu said.
"I understand, the boss, I will arrange it." Capps said as he was about to hang up the phone, and suddenly he said again as if he was thinking of something: "Boss, the party is on July 22, so we still have a long time to prepare."
Lin Yu said with a wry smile: "In one month, it is very stressful to learn British aristocratic etiquette."
Capps laughed and said, "Where is the motivation to get without pressure?"
