076 Can't be appeased?
The Palace of Monaco has a history of nearly a thousand years. The strategic fortress established by the Genoese more than 800 years ago has become the most famous landmark in Monaco today.
In the past hundred years, social development has caused the feudal royal power to collapse completely. For example, the British royal family was left to shelves, and Monaco is also very similar. The Monaco royal family has always given the impression of being friendly to the people in the past half century. The people are always moved by the royal family's approach and support the aristocratic example.
The pale yellow palace buildings, high walls and spires, solemn and dignified, but the Monaco Palace is not mysterious. The area of the palace covers some major European countries, at best, just as a luxury manor.
Besides, half of it is a museum, and the other half is a place for royal members to work and live.
Situ Yunbing had not been very interested in the Monaco Palace before, but he would attend a banquet in the palace tonight, so he went to the Palace Museum to visit in the afternoon.
On Christmas Eve, everyone was preparing for the Christmas dinner tonight, and there were basically not many tourists. Situ Yunbing was very serious about the history and culture of Monaco in the empty museum.
In a small country, there really is not much magnificent history.
Moreover, the meaning of the museum is more to promote the image of the royal family to the outside world.
Half of the contents are the life experiences of royal members over the past half century. It is not difficult to see that it highlights the royal family's open attitude towards the people and its efforts to integrate with the common people.
When Situ Yunbing stood in front of the photo of Princess Grace smiling and greeting the people, suddenly the voice of someone talking came from beside him.
"She's beautiful, right?"
Situ Yunbing turned his head and looked at it. What caught his eye was a young and beautiful girl, with soft gold and delicate facial features, slightly immature but simple beauty. The girl who looked about 16 years old was tall, almost the same height as Situ Yunbing. Her simple but fashionable outfit could not hide her beauty and charm.
Situ Yunbing withdrew his gaze, looked at the photo again, nodded and said, "Well, the legendary woman."
Princess Grace is as legendary as Princess Diana in the UK. She is a Hollywood superstar, Oscar winner, and a recognized goddess half a century ago!
He died in a car accident 27 years ago.
The outside world's conspiracy theory about this car accident is that Princess Grace was tragically attacked by the Italian mafia!
Because Princess Grace refused to cooperate with the mafia, so as not to fall into the hands of the mafia.
Situ Yunbing was not interested in the truth of these passing history, but he could have a deeper understanding of the Monaco royal family in this small museum.
I remember that the royal family should be high, but now I feel that they are approachable. For most of the past half century, they may have lived in fear, fearing that those who hold high the banner of democracy and equality will overthrow them, so they must get closer to the people and give up a lot of power.
Situ Yunbing thought he would get to know each other with this strange and young girl, but someone called her in the distance, so she smiled at Situ Yunbing and turned away. Situ Yunbing glanced at her graceful back and sighed, without any extra thoughts.
After wandering around the Palace Museum in Monaco for two hours, Situ Yunbing was about to go to the palace for a banquet. Alonzo called him and invited him to spend Christmas Eve at his home in Nice. Situ Yunbing told the other party that he had a program and refused.
Standing on the Royal Palace Square overlooking the coastline in the east, Monaco, which was usually particularly lively in the past, finally became particularly quiet today when night fell.
From time to time, vehicles drove into the Monaco Palace. Situ Yunbing sorted out his suit and dressed himself as meticulously as possible, and then walked to the palace.
There was someone in the doorman who was specifically responsible for reviewing the guests entering the palace. A middle-aged man like a housekeeper was holding a list. Situ Yunbing was really afraid of the bloody things blocked outside the door. Fortunately, the other party pointed out the way to the banquet hall after confirming that he was indeed on the list.
When Situ Yunbing came to the magnificent palace banquet hall, he was at a loss. There were already many people gathered here. Men and women dressed well, and men looked similar. They were all suits and tied. Women, young and old, were dressed in various evening dresses, paired with exquisite jewelry, which gave them a sense of visual competition.
Situ Yunbing knew no one. He walked to the table where the buffet was placed and took a glass of champagne, and then stood there holding the champagne in one hand and took a sip from time to time to look at the people in the banquet hall.
This may be the scene of socialite gatherings that he had only seen in film and television works before.
Suddenly, when he saw a middle-aged bald man in neat clothes walking towards him with a smile on his face, Situ Yunbing immediately cheered up.
As the man walked to Situ Yunbing, the other guests also focused their attention.
Situ Yun is a general soldier here, and no one cares about it, but this man cannot be ignored because he is the ruler of Monaco, Albert II.
But because he is not married yet, the media often reports that he still uses Prince Albert when he is reported.
This prince, who loves sports but is also a playboy, came to Situ Yunbing and smiled and stretched out his hand at him. While Situ Yunbing shook hands with him, Prince Albert's other hand touched Situ Yunbing's arm, looking extremely close.
"I've always wanted to meet you, thank you for your work at Monaco Club in the past few months. It's really great, you've made Monaco look at me with incredible things!"
Situ Yunbing smiled humbly and said, "I just do my job well, and thanks to the many hard-working people around me, they have made much greater contributions than me."
Prince Albert shook his head slightly and said, "I like your low profile and modesty, but your credit should not be erased. I hope you can have fun at this banquet tonight."
After a few simple conversations, Prince Albert turned around and left. After all, he was not a simple and free person. This Monaco social ambassador must have many social engagements. Among the people who came to attend the dinner today, there were not just some people who were just happy. There were officials from other countries and some prides in the business field. Behind the banquet, perhaps Situ Yunbing couldn't understand it and did not want to rack his brains to figure it out.
Perhaps because Prince Albert took the initiative to talk to Situ Yunbing, some guests also took the initiative to meet Situ Yunbing. Most of the people's titles, diplomats from a certain country, or the CEOs from which company, or where the rich son and daughter from a rich family came from.
Most of the female guests who seemed to come alone turned a blind eye to Situ Yunbing, who knew that they were all for Prince Albert who remained single.
Monaco's laws are very strange. There is a law: if there is no male descendant of the prince who can inherit the throne, then Monaco will be incorporated into France.
The reason why Situ Yunbing knew this law was because Prince Albert remained single and had no male descendants. French media would remind Monaco from time to time: Hey, if your prince does not get married and have children, you will lose the sovereignty of the independent principality!
I don’t know if Prince Albert is a scheming bitch. Anyway, this makes him a world-renowned diamond princess. He is a playboy. Such a background makes women chasing him look like a crucian carp. As for when he gets married and when he will give birth to offspring, what do you know? Situ Yunbing really doesn’t care.
Debangdan came with his wife late, and the couple went to say hello to the prince first. Then Debangdan came with his wife after seeing Situ Yunbing.
Situ Yunbing greeted the couple, then pulled Debangdan aside and told the other party about Gakepe.
Debondan immediately looked unhappy and said, "He is threatening the club! I will not tolerate him!"
Situ Yunbing might not have expected Debangdan to react like this, and his eyes were quite surprised.
Thinking from the perspective of others, Debangdan really has reason to get angry. Since he entered the club, he has been decisive and has cleaned up the management, replaced the coach, and significantly reduced the salary of the players. Nothing dares to object to!
At that time, the players had no way out because the team had not performed well in the past three years, so they could only let the club control it. To put it nicely, they were working together, and to put it bluntly, they were desperate!
It is normal for players to have more ideas now. If they perform well, shouldn’t they demand higher treatment?
Highlights are bargaining chips. When the chips are gone, who is confident to get a raise?
Situ Yunbing thought about it and asked Debangdan: "What are you going to do?"
Debondan was silent for a moment and said: "Although we lack strikers now, we don't have the money to buy strikers. There are strikers on your signing list. If it is not enough, even if I loan me, I won't let you go without anyone! As for Gakepe, if he is not honest, he will also be transferred to the reserve team for him!
