Chapter 1000: A Journey to Space
Famous brands, big names, luxury goods, not everyone can recognize them.
Yang Yi's outfit is a standard configuration at this cocktail party, of course, it is the standard configuration of the super-rich, but at different grades of cocktail parties, the choice of clothing and accessories is also different.
It's not good to have too low a packaging grade, but the grade is too high, and it is also inappropriate to exceed the grade of this cocktail party.
Yang Yi is now a rich man, his clothes and the decorations on his body are just right, not high, but not low, but those who can see this are either rich like him, or they are people who have studied etiquette.
Not everyone can wear half a million dollars on their body, and those who can do it are the rich, of course.
Then, for the rich, luxury is not only a sign of status and wealth, but also an important tool for them to distinguish between classes and circles.
Even if you don't know each other, you can understand what grade the other party is as long as you look at each other's outfits, and it doesn't exist to show your financial resources by just relying on a brand-name bag or something, and it's impossible.
In Yang Yi's eyes, the young man who talked to him should have an annual income of more than 500,000 US dollars, which is a very good income, and he is still very young, but here, at this cocktail party, this young man who will be the focus of attention in other places can only be a little transparent.
Then, this young man can stand in front of Yang Yi and greet him, which means that he knows that Yang Yi's clothes are his income for a year, so he will temporarily plan to talk to Yang Yi for a few words.
Anyway, there is nothing to lose by saying a few words, but in case you make a useful friend, it may be a ladder for yourself to break through, what is the cost of nothing, this is.
That's why Yang Yi felt that the young man in front of him had good eyesight, as for how Yang Yi saw it, this was a necessary basic skill for Yang Yi.
Would you like to talk about it?
Yang Yi raised his wine glass, and then he smiled, "Hello." ”
Although it was not necessary, Yang Yi didn't mind having someone to talk to him while he was waiting for someone.
It's important to find an opening sentence to open the conversation, but this is not the UK, so there's no way to use the weather as an opening statement, but there's a versatile opening line for this kind of occasion.
"It's like we've seen each other before, and I think...... It was at the financial elite cocktail party, just last month, right? ”
cliché, but cliché is synonymous with easy to use, and it will be cliché after being used rotten.
And this young man's opening remarks also made clear his identity, the financial elite cocktail party, which means that he is a young and promising financial person.
Yang Yi smiled and said, "I'm sorry, you remember wrong, I just came from Europe, so I'm sure it's the first time we've met." ”
"Oh, that's my mistake, I'm sorry."
"You're in the financial industry?"
"Yes, I'm a fund manager, and I have some free time today, so I'm going to a cocktail party with my friends, Jason, my name is Jason. Kiel, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Yang Yi stretched out his hand and shook it with Jason, and then he smiled and said, "Yang Yi, you said you are a fund manager?" Would it be convenient for you to disclose where you work? I think maybe we'll have a chance to work together in the future. ”
"Oh, are you in the financial industry too?"
Yang Yi shook his head and said, "No, not now, but I came to the United States this time to buy a bank, so I will be a financial practitioner in the future, haha." ”
Pol's bank acquisition plan is already on the agenda, and the first step in his plan is to spread rumors that he is targeting the bank.
Therefore, Yang Yi doesn't mind that this step starts with him first, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and just happened to encounter such an opportunity, so he didn't open his mouth to come.
Jason was stunned, he couldn't tell whether Yang Yi was bragging or serious, because it was impossible for any acquisition to be casually publicized in advance, let alone a bank acquisition, but Yang Yi didn't look like bragging, because Yang Yi's self-confidence emanated from his bones.
Yang Yi didn't mind continuing to talk to Jason, and by the way, he helped Pol start spreading some rumors, but before he officially started bragging, he heard Anton's voice in his ears.
"It's coming, it's already at the door."
Yang Yi turned his head casually, and then his expression froze slightly, as if he had inadvertently seen an old friend, so he quickly said to Jason: "I'm sorry, I saw a friend, I have to go and say hello, it's nice to meet you, see you later." ”
Saying goodbye very casually, Yang Yi put down his cocktail glass, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Jason stood still, regretful and annoyed.
Why don't you just say where you work, why do you want to ask in the first place? Why don't you just send a business card, maybe Yang Yi will also send him a business card, although this possibility is very small, but in case of luck.
Jason was very annoyed, and then he looked at Yang Yi's back and watched Yang Yi walk to the entrance.
Petra came in, and she came with a female companion.
Does Yang Yi want to go up and talk to Petra directly, of course not, then it's not appropriate.
So Yang Yi's target was a man who came in after Petra, a man wearing a tie with white dots on a blue background.
What does this man do? It is the person who the cleaner prepares for Yang Yi to talk to, or Yang Yi's guide, who leads him into this circle and can get close to Petra.
It doesn't matter if you've never seen each other before, as long as you can confirm the identity of the other party.
"N'Golo Kante."
"Hi, Yang Yi! You're here too, great! ”
Yang Yi hugged the middle-aged man gently, and then he smiled and said, "I heard that you are going to travel to the International Space Station on the Soyuz, shouldn't you train in Russia, how can you have time to come here?" ”
The conversation was a little louder, just enough for Petra in front of her to hear, but it wasn't too real.
Petra turned her head and looked at Yang Yi in a little surprise.
Yang Yi said helplessly: "Don't mention it, it's really a nightmare experience, I trained for three months, but the Russians said that my space trip was postponed, indefinitely." ”
"What? Your money has already been paid, why is it being extended? ”
"It's technical, but I guess it's because of the right treatment."
"This is the Russians! Is the money returned? ”
"It's hard to say, it's really a nightmare experience for me, and now I don't want to talk about it at all, let's talk about something else."
coping with it casually, Yang Yi was very disappointed because Plan A failed.
Yang Yi's conversation with Kante did catch Petra's attention, but that's about it, Petra didn't talk to him, but went away with his companions.
The plan to talk to Petra with the help of a space trip has failed, and now, it's time to find an opportunity to implement Plan B.
