Chapter 1,276 Charm of Character

Many people believe that Alain Delon's achievements in the film industry are based on his looks and that he is a darling of God.

He succeeded easily with just one face.

Success comes quickly and effortlessly.

But it's actually far from that simple.

Alain Delon is not like Ning Weimin, he is just an ordinary person.

The road back from a poor boy to an international superstar cannot be smooth and smooth.

Not to mention other countries, the level of chaos in the European film industry is the highest in the world in this era, even the United States has to be inferior.

Many European directors and producers not only have confused sexual orientations, but also have a lot of mental brainwashing, controlling and abusing people. They are even more perverted than the Japanese.

Under such circumstances, the industry is full of monsters who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. Many young people who come from poor backgrounds and are looking for a future in the European film industry and fashion industry will hate themselves for having a face that is remembered by others.

There are many negative examples. For example, Burne John Anderson, who became famous after starring in "Death in Venice", can be said to be a typical example of a life ruined by stunning beauty.

If it weren't for his outstanding beauty, this "world's most beautiful boy" would not have become a symbol of homosexual desire.

It will not attract the covetation of many perverts, the slander of jealous people, and the harassment of the media.

Then his life will definitely not be so bumpy.

Alain Delon, on the other hand, is the opposite of Burne John Anderson, who not only lives freely, but also with confidence and dignity.

Not to mention that no one has done anything dirty to him, even if he creates a big lie, it usually ends up being ignored.

Especially when he reaches middle age, no one in the entire French film industry, or the entire European film industry, is willing to offend him easily.

What is the reason why two people with similar backgrounds and similar circumstances have such a huge gap in their life experiences?

It really can’t be said that a handsome face can create one.

From Ning Weimin's perspective, he believes that the decisive factor still lies within the human being.

At least he can feel a lot of particularly strong personality charm in Alain Delon.

Therefore, he somewhat understood why Alain Delon was able to achieve such success.

Why did this guy spend his whole life, starting from the first woman he seduced in order to change his destiny - the female star Brigitte Aubert, who was six years older than him, to his girlfriend Rosa, who is now thirty-two years younger than him?

Li.

All the women he had dated in his life were all obsessed with him, and many girls were willing to bear children for him without being named, but there was no one who could hate him forever.

Even Romy Schneider, who was abandoned by his regretful marriage, was the same.

Even if I have hated you before, it was just jealousy caused by love.

In the end, time and his help at the critical moment will resolve all the hatred, and he will learn not to be jealous anymore.

Yes, in addition to his good looks, Alain Delon also has extraordinary skills in dealing with people. This is the answer to why he has good luck.

The first thing Ning Weimin appreciated was Alain Delon's generosity and emphasis on friendship.

He is definitely a person who is sincere and interesting to the friends around him.

This time I entertained Ning Weimin in Cannes, although I couldn't give it my all.

But in return for Ning Weimin's meticulous care in the capital, Alain Delon also tried his best to help in all aspects, whether in official or private matters, and there was no debt.

Up to now Alain Delon has done so much for Ning Weimin, including conference certificates, bodyguards, and vehicles. Many of the expenses were borne by him personally.

And he hasn't even mentioned the word "money" to Ning Weimin. People like him are rare among French people who are very strict about money relationships.

Especially today, because he won money in the casino, Alain Delon was even more like this.

He did not use the meal card given by the casino to stay at the Palais des Festivals to dine. Instead, he took Ning Weimin to another high-end restaurant in the city center and ordered quite expensive caviar and foie gras, a meal that cost tens of thousands of francs.

Come entertain Ning Weimin.

At the same time, he must do what he said. He forced Ning Weimin to call Matsumoto Keiko from the restaurant phone.

Then he asked two bodyguards to drive to the hotel and pick up Keiko Matsumoto and Rosalie in the car to have a meal together.

After finishing the meal, I personally took them to the boutiques on Croisette Promenade for shopping.

Chanel, Hermès, Dior... he recommends the best brands among the big brands for ladies.

After entering the store, I looked at the items without looking at the prices. I was chatting and laughing while paying the bill without hesitation.

He also paid tips with one hundred franc notes, and the cheerfulness with which he spent money seemed more generous than the Japanese, and more like a super rich man than Ning Weimin.

Whether he is a doorman or a bartender, whether he is serving food or pouring wine, whether he is helping with fittings or tallying goods, as long as he provides services to this group of people, or calls him "Mr. Delong" with respect,

You will receive a banknote as a gift.

Of course, if others wanted to sign, he would also welcome them.

Who can not like such a person?

Therefore, even those who have served him and those who have only met him once will be deeply impressed by his charm.

In addition, Ning Weimin also realized that Alain Delon was a funny and well-informed person.

Although he was born in poverty and had not read many books, his restless and rebellious character and rich life experience made him know how to view life and how to have fun better than ordinary people.

Especially in France, his home stadium, his jokes are readily available and his sense of humor permeates every word he says.

Not only has he personally experienced the different lives of the poor and the rich, he is also familiar with almost all leisure and entertainment activities and tourist attractions in France.

Moreover, what he sees and hears turned into jokes can often make people laugh out loud and leave them with endless aftertaste. At least they will feel that they have gained more knowledge because of him.

Therefore, no matter male or female, probably no one would find it unpleasant to get along with him.

Especially Ning Weimin, in the process of chatting with him, I will always be frequently touched and inspired.

Just like this time during lunch, the two people talked about Ning Weimin's impression of Cannes.

Ning Weimin told Alain Delon that the prosperity of consumption and tourism resources in Cannes far exceeded his imagination, which also made him very interested in buying a house in Cannes.

Maybe I can open a Chinese restaurant or hotel here in the future.

When Alain Delon heard what he said, he expressed his appreciation in person and said that he very much hoped that he could invest in France so that he could have authentic Chinese food in the future.

But at the same time, he also gave his own suggestions on his investment direction.

Alain Delon told Ning Weimin that when it comes to the French Riviera in southern France, many world tourists are full of praise. Many people know Nice, Cannes and Monaco.

However, there is actually a place that is more low-key, more aristocratic, and more heroic, and that is the small seaside town of Saint-Tropez.

An aristocratic community has appeared there since the 16th century. Since Saint-Tropez has abundant sunshine and nearly a hundred small beaches, it is particularly suitable for building various luxury villas, so it has gradually become a place where rich and famous celebrities gather.

Later, because many movies were filmed there, it further became the first choice for European wealthy and upper-class people to vacation in France during the summer.

Today, Saint-Tropez has become a paradise for the rich that represents high-end, private, and outstanding lifestyles.

The waterfront pier there is filled with yachts of wealthy people from all over the world.

He even bought a villa in Saint-Tropez and his ship stayed there for a long time.

?????55.?????

So Alain Delon's suggestion is that if Ning Weimin is rich, he'd better go there and have a look.

At least he thinks it is a better investment location than Cannes. Even in the 1970s, when the French economy encountered a dark period, house prices and prices there never fell and remained strong and upward.

It's perfect for vacation, residence, or restaurant.

As for how high the consumption is there?

It’s so high that even the French media denounces it every year during the peak tourist season.

For example, if you want to book a table at a restaurant with a beautiful seaside view, many restaurants in Saint-Tropez require a minimum purchase of 10,000 francs.

There are even more amazing restaurants, with seats by the window looking at the sea, with a minimum spend of 50,000 francs, and seats for 100,000 francs and 500,000 francs!

It is precisely because most of the tourists there are children of wealthy families, the legendary "old money" in Europe, that local restaurants have become more and more sophisticated and their requirements have become more and more outrageous.

This kind of luxurious style is completely unmatched by other places in France. If Cannes can still allow ordinary people to barely live here, then Saint-Tropez has completely cut off the possibility of survival for the poor.

Alain Delon only mentioned one specific example casually, which was enough to make Ning Weimin stunned.

According to Alain Delon, in July last year, an Italian businessman came to Saint Tropez for vacation.

He invited three or four friends to dinner and spent less than one hundred thousand francs in the restaurant.

Before leaving, the rich Italian man left a tip of six hundred francs to the waiter who served them.

In other parts of France, this would be extremely generous.

But then, when the Italian was about to leave, a scene that shocked and shamed him happened.

Because the restaurant waiter who served him was so angry that he rushed out of the restaurant and blocked the Italian businessman and his friends in the parking lot.

Then he scolded the rich man in public for disrespecting him, told the rich man that the tip should be 20%, and mocked the Italian guy for not knowing the rules.

How can ordinary people endure such shame and humiliation?

The Italian businessman was so angry that he immediately took out his wallet, threw a wad of francs to the waiter, and told him to get out of here.

Then he said on the spot that this restaurant and the waiters were too weird, and vowed never to come to France again!

It's a pity that except for him and his friends, the other bystanders only regarded it as a joke. No one really felt sympathy for the Italian guy's plight. On the contrary, some people really thought that the Italians were too shabby...

Needless to say, this story sounded like a fantasy to Ning Weimin's ears, and it completely refreshed his understanding of food and beverage consumption.

He said in his heart, my dear!

What kind of place is this, where you can earn a hundred thousand francs for just one meal?

This amount of money is the entire income of a small white-collar worker in Paris who has been working for a year and a half.

Let’s just say that the French franc is worthless. The exchange rate has fallen again and again in recent years, but it is basically equivalent to the RMB.

If converted into U.S. dollars, it would be over ten thousand or several thousand dollars.

Niang Xipi, this is equivalent to the Japanese willing to spend 2 million yen to treat a few people to dinner.

You know, his highest meal consumption record is still the most expensive meal of fried puffer fish he had with Teresa Teng.

Four people ate for almost 4,000 US dollars, which was nothing compared to the Italians.

The Italians paid three times the price! It’s so magical!

But such a wealthy guest is actually humiliated by the waiter? Being looked down upon?

Where does this make sense?

Moreover, he inquired again and heard from Alain Delon that the house price in Cannes currently seems to be between 20,000 francs and 50,000 francs per square meter, depending on the quality and specifications of the house.

Saint-Tropez is more expensive and has fewer choices.

At present, there should be only some independent villas for sale, starting from a minimum of 30 million francs.

Ning Weimin was really tempted involuntarily.

Is it expensive?

Maybe it's not cheap for Europeans, but in his heart, it's really not expensive at all.

You know, this year the house price in Adachi, the worst district in Tokyo, is almost one million yen per square meter, which is basically the same as the house price in Cannes.

Thirty million francs can be converted into US dollars, which is less than four million, and converted into Japanese yen, it is only five hundred million, which is just a drop.

If he wants to look good, he can buy two houses in San Tempero first, without even thinking too much about property taxes.

Because as long as there are no big obstacles in the procedures for opening a restaurant, if he builds a palace here, or asks the master to open a Maxim branch, the cost-effectiveness of making money in San Tempero is even higher than that in Ginza, Tokyo.

Although there are only about four months of the year when there are the most customers, every table here will consume so much.

The so-called meal of one hundred thousand francs is a very common situation. It is really a table worth ten tables.

Think about it, consumption is high, house prices are low, value is maintained, and there is no bubble. Where can such good real estate projects be found?

So in fact, while the two were talking and laughing, Ning Weimin had already seriously remembered this matter in his heart.

The information provided by Alain Delon is really useful. As long as the reality he finally comes into contact with is not much different from the situation introduced by Alain Delon, he can make up his mind to spread money in France, and the local owners will be rich.

Not to mention, even when shopping, Ning Weimin was actually taught a lesson by Alain Delon in his own clothing business.

The reason was that when a few people were browsing the store, Rosalie and Matsumoto Keiko were attracted by a kind of blouse in the Chanel store.

The pure white background, accompanied by faint green stripes, is as beautiful as a Monet painting.

When they asked the salesperson in the store, they were told that this kind of shirt costs nearly 6,000 francs. Matsumoto Keiko exclaimed in surprise, "It seems to be much cheaper than in Japan!"

Unexpectedly, Alain Delon laughed, "I'm afraid that is the case, but in fact it may not be. Because the living habits are different. I have been to Japan. Tokyo is indeed very developed, but Japanese people are still very frugal in life.

Even if rich people buy these shirts, they will find ways to wash them and wear them again and use them many times. But that is not the case here. Many of the wealthy Europeans who come here on vacation do not wash their clothes. Such shirts will be worn once.

Will be thrown away. Even many people will not bring a lot of luggage here, because new is always better than old, and fashion changes almost every day. In addition to formal clothes, their clothes are basically bought at the last minute wherever they go.

Some people don't even bring formal clothes. Everything they need is purchased for them by their personal servants at the brand stores they frequent. That's why the European fashion industry can be so prosperous and influential in the world.

That's why it's so big. Maybe in other countries, some people don't know who the French president is, but they will definitely know Dior..."

Oh my God, the Japanese who are all buying things all over the world are actually judged as frugal by Alain Delon.

I dare say that what most people think of as luxury goods is nothing more than something that can be thrown away casually in the eyes of the real rich.

From this perspective, it seems that he and Qingzi are still country bumpkins, and they are indeed still unfamiliar with the real world of the rich.

At this moment, Ning Weimin was a little excited again. What Alain Delon said was something that even he, a man of two generations, did not know.

Thinking of their upcoming filming of "Crazy Rich Asians", he suddenly had an idea, hoping to hire Alain Delon as a consultant and maybe make a guest role.

In any case, if the real life of the rich can be filmed, the film will be more convincing, right?
