The Sun Island Tourist Resort was a famous vacation spot in Shen Jiang. It covered an area of nearly two hundred hectares and the river flowed endlessly. It was as if it was woven for history and formed for the accumulation of civilization.
Shen Jiang was most familiar with the golf club here. It was definitely an important part of the resort and took up almost half of the island.
The lake-side golf course was shrouded in the sunlight. It was a place where many of Shen Jiang's upper class liked to discuss business. Therefore, Ye Fala was quite familiar with this place. Although she wasn't a golf expert, she could still be considered a fan.
What Ye Fala loved wasn't golf, but this circle.
As everyone knew, the golf circle was an immeasurable intangible asset. If one wanted to enter the upper class or gain a foothold in the upper class, they had to grasp and use this circle well.
Xu Yun also knew this because when he first took over the Sky Entertainment Group, Zuo Meiyan had asked him to play golf with her many times. However, Xu Yun really didn't have much interest and didn't have much time.
As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
At that time, the world had changed and modern society seemed to be reorganized. The idiom "birds of a feather flock together" in modern society had completely become "birds of a feather flock together".
The rich played in one circle while the poor played in another. The entertainment circle, the sports circle, the cultural circle … There were all kinds of circles. To put it bluntly, no matter what industry a person was in, if they didn't enter the "circle" of the industry, it was a failure.
Nowadays, many people involved in online literature would only be worthy of the identity of a writer if they couldn't enter the literary circle. Only when they entered the literary circle could they be considered a writer. It didn't matter if the work was bad or not, for today's society, status was always very important.
If a person wanted to enter the upper class and become a figure at the top of the pyramid, they would have to mingle in one or a few circles. Only in this way could they obtain more emotional exchanges and character recognition. Only in this way could they obtain more information that was beneficial to them. Only in this way could they feel more secure. Only in this way could they feel satisfied.
In this society, those who could "play" knew that the circle was productivity. Once they left it, their life would become lonely and their career wouldn't be as easy. Without the circle, there was no way to survive.
People without the circle were lonely and inevitably weak.
Within and between circles, the combination of interpersonal relationships was a good channel for social benefits.
As a result, more and more people became proficient in this field and were willing to play in circles.
The aggregated energy formed by these "circles" could not be ignored, especially the "circles" in the business world. They could decide the life and death of an enterprise or even the direction of the industry.
Hua Xia, in particular, was one of the most "relationship-oriented" countries in the world. In Hua Xia, there were several kinds of relationships that were particularly important. One was the relationship between old comrades-in-arms, which was very important because they had been through thick and thin together, and the trust between them was very strong.
The other was the relationship between classmates. Of course, this did not refer to kindergarten classmates or elementary school classmates. It referred to the relationship between the EMBA class and the CEO class in the business world. To put it bluntly, the reason why businessmen were willing to pay such an expensive tuition fee was for the "circle", not for knowledge at all.
In the vast network of interpersonal relationships, the relationship between schoolmates and alumni was particularly interesting. When you had the bloodline of a certain famous school, you would naturally join the utilitarian network of the famous school club and master some important social resources. Therefore, you would have more senior and high-quality resources across industries.
Knowledge and capital were organizations that combined. Hua Xia had many such platforms, such as the Hua Xia Entrepreneur Club and the Hua Xia Financial Golf Team Alliance.
This Hua Xia Financial Golf Team Alliance was founded by a large group, which combined finance and golf. Thousands of capable people could quickly connect financial elites with golf links through this relationship, forming a super cross-border interaction.
This explained the importance of the golf circle, which also showed that the vast majority of people who played golf were people with a certain status. This was absolutely unquestionable.
In these circles formed by entrepreneurs, business cooperation between each other was everywhere. And the success of business often depended on a phone call or a few words of communication.
The operating cost of business and business opportunities in this circle was obviously much lower than that of conventional business cooperation. The most important point was that the circle was a society of acquaintances. Once there was a breach of contract, the reputation in the circle would be lost, and the price would be high. Therefore, there was enough motivation to maintain the trust between each other.
Circles were obviously everywhere in modern society. The existence of circles, from an economic point of view, for individuals, reduced the cost of people's communication. In terms of the operation of the whole society, circles were a kind of institutional arrangement.
Therefore, golf seemed to be a high-consumption leisure and entertainment activity, but in fact, it reduced the cost of cooperation for everyone.
In the eyes of the common people, golf was expensive green luxury, a well-dressed gentleman's performance, and an elite culture that was exclusive to the upper class.
In fact, golf could become a common toy for the world's rich, and it had a unique attraction that other games did not have.
In any high-end golf course in the world, there was no lack of rich people. This might be an important reason why Tuotong would hide here. Any random person in this place could be a super bargaining chip in his hand, a super hostage!
At the thought of this, Xu Yun and Ye Fala could clearly feel their heads aching. Clearly, Tuo Tong had considered this aspect before choosing this place.
Although Bu Feifan knew about the Sun Island Resort's golf course, he did not consider this point. After all, although he learned a lot of things in the Hunter Academy that could not be learned outside, there was no way he could learn about "society".
In this society where connections were the source of money, playing golf was not just relaxing and exercising, but also a platform for business communication.
Tuotong was hiding in a business communication platform at the moment! This was definitely not good news.
In the past, the bosses used the traditional dinner or clubhouse as a way of socializing. Moreover, many people in the business and political circles were tired of this kind of socializing. In fact, they were tired of eating big fish and meat, and started to prefer light vegetables.
In today's society, this was the best way to socialize. Not only was it good for physical exercise, but it was also good for promoting business cooperation.
How many elites gathered in an economic center like Shen Jiang? Therefore, it was not hard to imagine how busy the Sun Island Golf Course was. Even at night, it would definitely be filled with people from the upper class. Not only was there a golf course, there were also vacation villas, clubhouses, and all kinds of high-end places.
After playing eighteen holes of golf, it was easy to have a subtle chemical reaction between people, mutual appreciation, and a deeper relationship. Then, at night, they would go to the clubhouse for a chat, or sit in the cigar bar, or any other place that showed off their status and luxury. It was possible to facilitate a big business deal.
Therefore, in many multinational companies, especially in companies that relied on interpersonal relationships, the golf culture was recognized and respected.
After all, the Sun Island Golf Course was not the only place. There was also a large-scale horse track, an open-air karting arena, an artificial beach, a quiet European-style vacation spa villa, an ancient Indian style Peacock Dynasty Chinese restaurant, authentic and traditional Italian cuisine cooked by an Italian chef with fresh ingredients, an Italian restaurant where you could sip a selection of Italian red wine, a natural spa, a yacht, a farm …
Four words, everything one could think of.
Everything that the rich played was available here.
When a person had to make an important decision, such as signing a large contract, the probability of success was higher when the body and mind were relaxed and in a good mood.
The Sun Island Resort made it easier for people to enter a relaxed state. Under such circumstances, people were more willing to accept some new things, and their usual nervousness and vigilance would be reduced to a minimum.
Therefore, Xu Yun could imagine just how many rich people there were in this place. It wouldn't be interesting if something were to happen in this place.
God knows what crazy things they would force Tuo Tong to do. If he killed a few business bigwigs, the entire economy of Hua Xia might be affected.
