The two of them found a Western restaurant and sat down. Robert looked Duan Zetao up and down and said with a smile: "Brother Zetao is very handsome, but I really can't compliment you on your dress. Judging from your experience, I think you must have
You have a big dream, and I think for your dream, you should make some changes, otherwise it will be difficult for you to integrate into the upper class that controls the world's power. [ ]".
Duan Zetao and Mike attended those high-society drinking parties these days, and found out awkwardly that he was completely out of tune with this circle. Several times he took the initiative to get close to people, but they just looked at him up and down and walked away. A few of them were still there.
When he turned around, he cursed "hillbilly" in a low voice. Although he wanted to punch the noses of these contemptuous guys, he still held back.
What puzzled him was that he didn't have a redneck brand on his body, so why did these people walk around him when they saw him? Although he didn't bother to please these so-called 'nobles', nor did he want to become one.
"New Noble", but if he wants to fight Jiang Zilong head-on, he will inevitably have to deal with such a circle. If he wants to gain more allies, it is indeed necessary to change himself.
Now that Robert already knew his origins, Duan Zetao stopped beating around the bush in front of him and said straightforwardly: "Then how do you think I should change?".
Robert looked at him more carefully and said: "First of all, there is something wrong with the clothes you are wearing.".
"What's wrong with my clothes? They are all famous brands, Armani suits, old man's leather shoes. They cost me tens of thousands of dollars. How many clothes can I buy in China?!" Duan Zetao asked in confusion,
These days, he specially bought an outfit to attend cocktail parties with Mike. Although he was not short of money now, he was used to being thrifty and still felt that spending so much money to buy a set of clothes was too luxurious.
"Then do you know how much my clothes are worth?".
"How many?".
"All the clothes I wear are tailor-made at Donna Karan, costing US$500,000." Considering Duan Zetao's nerve endurance, Robert discounted the price in half.
"Let's talk about the watch you have. The watch is the most important decoration on a man's body and can best reflect a man's taste and status. You are wearing a Rolex. How much did it cost?" Robert continued to ask.
road.
"$1,000."
"I'm wearing a limited edition Patek Philippe, which costs US$50,000. Gold Rolex watches like yours are usually only worn by the nouveau riche." Robert continued to attack Duan Zetao mercilessly.
"Also, in formal occasions, you should only button the top two buttons of a three-button suit, instead of buttoning them all like you do. Also, at the dinner table, wet wipes can only be used to wipe hands, but you just used them.
Come and wipe your face, mouth, and sweat; your posture when eating steak is wrong, and your soup is too loud. These are all very rude behaviors in social situations." Robert pointed out a series of Duan Zetao's words casually.
error.
"Let me ask you again, can you tell the difference between French red wine produced in 1862 and red wine produced in 1982? Can you tell the difference between genuine Blue Mountain coffee and fakes? Do you know where the best cigars are produced?
?", Robert's series of questions made Duan Zetao's head spin.
After finishing the meal, Robert took Duan Zetao to the golf course and said to him: "Golf is a very important social activity among nobles. I will demonstrate it first."
Robert hit a beautiful birdie very coolly and handed the club to Duan Zetao for him to try.
Although Duan Zetao was considered a billionaire in his previous life, he rarely participated in golf activities that the rich were very passionate about. In his opinion, if he had that free time, he might as well think more about how to better manage his company.
Duan Zetao aimed at the small golf ball and hit it with all his strength, but he missed the ball and almost got knocked down.
Robert suppressed a smile and patiently pointed at Duan Zetao, correcting his posture from time to time.
Maybe it’s because playing golf, like martial arts, requires precise vision and strength control. Duan Zetao has been studying martial arts with Hu Tielong for the past two years, and his vision and strength control have become quite good. He can play in a orderly manner soon, although his posture is still a bit ugly.
.soon he
He was able to compete with Robert. Robert was very surprised. He patted Duan Zetao on the shoulder and said, "Now I doubt whether you really learned how to play golf. I can only say that you are really a genius!",
I also valued him more and more in my heart.
In the following period, in order to build Duan Zetao into a new aristocrat, Robert introduced him to two professional image consultants and aristocratic etiquette teachers. After half a month of intensive training, he turned Duan Zetao into a quick version.
"Pseudo-aristocratic".
Now Duan Zetao doesn't dare to laugh too loudly or walk too fast for fear of pulling his eggs. Ouyang Fang, Xiaolan, and Xiaofang laughed so hard when they saw Duan Zetao acting like a newly married daughter-in-law, but they were also worried about this
I was secretly moved by the man's seriousness and persistence in doing things.
Duan Zetao changed his outfit and went through some packaging, and now he looks good when he goes out. Now he has played golf to a superb level. Even Tiger Woods praised him as a golf genius after playing a game with him.
Over time, if Duan Zetao participates in the competition, the championship may change hands.
After playing golf together several times, Duan Zetao helped Robert win a bet against Nick Kennedy, a member of the Kennedy family, which gave Robert a lot of face, and the two became good friends who talked about everything.
The people Robert associates with are either rich or noble, which really helps Duan Zetao's career. Those snobs who used to avoid Duan Zetao when they saw him are now fawning over Duan Zetao.
As if overnight, Duan Zetao became a prominent figure in the upper-class social circle. Everyone was vying to make friends with him, but he suddenly made many fair-weather friends.
Most of Duan Zetao's funds are now invested in Apple's stock. Zhu Feiyang didn't understand it at the time, because in 1998, Jobs had just returned to take charge of Apple for a year, and the stock price was less than 2 US dollars, and it had been sold by PC before.
The giant IBM is at the end of its rope and has reached the point of bankruptcy.
On the edge, after Jobs took over the reins of Apple, although there was a great improvement, it was still unable to completely reverse the decline. However, Duan Zetao knew that in a few years Apple's iPod and iPhone would be popular all over the world, and Jobs would become a legend, so he resolutely
Bet on Steve Jobs.
But Jobs was not interested in Duan Zetao, an outside investor. Although Duan Zetao held the second largest share of Apple shares after him, it may be because he had been kicked out of Apple by major shareholders before. He was not interested in Duan Zetao's sudden investment.
The author always maintains an attitude of rejection
, so much so that Duan Zetao met with Jobs many times after arriving in the United States, but he always declined because he had too many things to do. However, when Duan Zetao gained Robert's friendship, that is, the friendship of the Rothschild family, he had to pay attention to it. Finally Duan Zetao got
Notice that Steve Jobs is going to entertain Duan Zetao at his home.
(PS: Sweat, didn’t I ask for leave in the book? Even if I want to be lazy during the holidays, I will still be scolded by readers. If I go too fast, I really can’t guarantee the quality. I updated 310,000 words in 52 days, an average of 310,000 words per day.
There are only 6,000 words, so I think it’s worthy of the readers. Please forgive me.)
