On the afternoon of October 20, Andrew took a flight back to London, England.

First of all, in the British branch of Chenggong Investment Company, Andrew convened all the employees in London to make resolutions and arrangements for the transfer of the base camp of gold trading to New York in the next stage.

First, we will arrange for the establishment of a New York branch of an investment company in New York from tomorrow, and arrange for the New York branch to be stationed. The UK branch retains the basic framework personnel, and the other personnel are transferred to the New York branch and the Middle East Investment Bank.

Second: All departments should compile a list of personnel going to the United States, and arrange for those who are not enough to be hired in New York as soon as possible.

Arrange the transfer of the investment company's base camp. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and when Andrew hurried home, his mother Ruth was preparing dinner in the kitchen. Hearing the movement in the living room, at this point in time, everyone else is in the company, and it is not yet time to get off work, Ruth estimates that Andrew should have returned from Hong Kong after a business trip for a month and a half.

"Andrew, is that you?" asked Ruth, her mother, in the kitchen.

Andrew, who was carrying his luggage and walking into the living room, heard the inquiry of his mother Ruth in the kitchen, and quickly responded happily: "It's me, mother, I'm home."

Andrew dropped his luggage and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Ruth, the mother, was peeling potatoes at the countertop, and Andrew stepped forward to hug his mother. The mother and son were in the kitchen, making dinner and chatting about their parents.

Mother Ruth: "Andrew, come back this time, will you still go on a business trip this year?"

Andrew: "This time I came back, I guess I can only stay at home for a week, and after going back to Hong Kong to handle some corporate affairs before the end of the month, I will set up a new branch in New York next month, and I will work in New York for a while." It is estimated that he will return to London in December at the end of the year. ”

Mother Ruth: "Well, tomorrow is the weekend, so you can pick up Emma from Oxford tomorrow for the weekend." When we talked on the phone last week, we made an appointment. Just in time you're back, it's up to you to pick up Emma. ”

Andrew was a little surprised and said: "Oh, okay, I'll leave the task of picking up Emma, I didn't expect that you two prospective mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have a good relationship!"

Mother Ruth said proudly: "Of course, accompany you to go shopping, I can't count on you three boys, I'll find your girlfriend to replace you." ”

Andrew listened to his mother's little show-off, and quipped with a little praise: "Mother, you can do it! ”

Mother Ruth said proudly: "Of course"!

After dinner, the family chatted in the living room. His father, Allen, told Andrew about some of the recent news and family events in London. Among them, there is something related to Andrew.

Several upper-class business families in London found out about the roots of the rise of the Smith family, found their father Allen, and asked Allen and the Smith family about the intention of entrusting investment.

Because Andrew was not in the UK at the time, Allen's reply at the time was: The Smith family will reply to the inquiries about the intentions of each family as soon as possible after careful deliberation and decision.

For some upper-class families in London, Andrew is mentally prepared to inquire about the roots of the rise of the Smith family, and then come to the door to get a piece of the pie. After all, there was a lot of investment in gold trading at that time, and several upper-class business families in London, who were the head snakes, would definitely listen to it.

In the matter of entrusted investment by several upper-class business families in London, as long as it is a normal business entrusted investment behavior, Andrew's intention is acceptable. After all, everyone lives in the circle of London, and it is inevitable that people will be involved in the future. By the way, it is acceptable to entrust investment without much effort.

Andrew expressed his opinion to his father Allen. The specific matters of negotiation, the conditions for entrusting investment, etc., are handled by his father Allen.

Andrew said his next step is to invest in gold futures in New York next month.

The next morning, Andrew arrived at Chelsea Football Club and took a look around the departments to find out what was going on in the squad. The club's management has improved a bit, and the team's recent results have been good. Overall, it is moving in the direction that Andrew expected.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Andrew drove to Oxford University early, and Emma was still in class at this time. Andrew didn't bother, but wandered around the campus of the economics department of Oxford University.

Walking among the familiar scenery of plants and trees, blowing a fresh cool breeze, the impression of the three-year ivory tower study career comes to mind from time to time. Remembrance will be intoxicating, and Andrew, who doesn't know when it is, was interrupted by a shout.

"Andrew, what are you thinking? Stupidly walking around the campus, I just called you several times in the distance, but there was no response. ”

Andrew, who had replied to his thoughts, looked at the mentor who walked in front of him and heard his complaints. Hurriedly apologized:

"I'm sorry, Mentor, I was thinking about something just now, and I was so absorbed that I didn't notice your greeting. ”

"Forget it, it's a small thing, I don't care about it. I just happened to have something to ask you for, and I was thinking about how to contact you. I didn't expect you to come to Oxford today. ”

As he spoke, the mentor happily picked up Andrew, came to his office, and talked about the reason for asking Andrew for help.

It turns out that two days ago, the British Department of Industry and Trade convened some well-known economic and scientific and technological scholars in Britain to discuss a reference opinion on the development of the third new scientific and technological revolution, combined with the current economic situation of the United Kingdom, and the choice of the direction of the development of new science and technology in the United Kingdom.

The supervisor is also one of the economists who was called this time, and when preparing the relevant materials, I happened to think of Andrew's first graduation thesis topic, which was "The Impact of the Arrival of the Third Scientific and Technological Revolution on Economic Development".

At that time, this thesis topic was very impressive to his appetite. However, considering some practical problems at that time, he proposed to ask Andrew to simplify the topic of the graduation thesis in order to pass the graduation thesis successfully. Only about the impact of computers on the economy was written.

Now Andrew will give a comprehensive introduction, and he believes that in the development of the third new scientific and technological revolution, the choice of new scientific and technological development direction is those aspects.

In response to the mentor's request, Andrew explained the actual situation. In the article "The Impact of the Advent of the Third Scientific and Technological Revolution on Economic Development," he only made a relatively in-depth understanding of the impact of computers on the economy. In the other cases, because of the change of the topic of the paper, there is no further understanding and thinking, but only the concept of the general direction is proposed.

Andrew informed his mentor of what he thought was the concept of the four major directions in the article "The Impact of the Arrival of the Third Scientific and Technological Revolution on Economic Development", and then took his leave.

Seeing that school time is approaching, he still has to pick up Emma and come home for the weekend. After not seeing each other for a month and a half, Andrew misses Emma very much.

At the end of the school day, the previously quiet campus became noisy, and the student party poured out of the classroom to welcome the wonderful weekend life.

Andrew was at the exit of the campus, waiting for the belated figure of Emma's schoolgirl. A tender call, I couldn't help blurting out.

"Emma"!

"Oh, Andrew, you're back!" replied to Emma's surprise when she heard the call and turned to see Andrew waiting on the side.

Looking at Emma who was walking quickly not far away, Andrew opened his hands and gave Emma a love hug that circled in the air.

The two hugged each other and walked to the car on the side of the road, and Andrew informed Emma that before coming, his mother Ruth had invited her to meet her at home on the weekend. Or did you make an appointment before, right?

"Yes, I thought I would make an appointment with Ruth to go shopping in London City (around the City) on the weekend. Unexpectedly, you are back today. Emma said.

Andrew: Tomorrow, I'll go shopping with you to the city of London.

The next day, Andrew accompanied Emma and her mother Ruth on a tour of the City of London, the Guildhall Gallery, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge and other famous landmarks.

Then accompany Emma and her mother Ruth to Regent Street for some shopping.

Regent Street is known for its high-quality British clothing stores and has been a symbol of London's urban culture for more than 100 years. It is located in the heart of London, which has been one of London's quintessential fashion landmarks for over 100 years. The tall royal buildings, the black cabs that pass by and the hustle and bustle of the streets make for a truly British feel. This is a shopping paradise for gentlemen and ladies.

I have to say that a woman's shopping talent is beyond the reach of a man, and Andrew followed the two ladies who were full of interest, constantly wandering around the stores, comparing, trying on, and evaluating. But in the end, I didn't buy a few.

Soon, the bored Andrew couldn't hold on, and he felt more tiring than playing a game, which was simply a beautiful torture.

On the side of the street, Andrew found a place to rest and told the two ladies that he would be waiting for them here and let them continue. But I thought in my heart, next time, oh, there is no next time! I will definitely not take the initiative to accompany the shopping, it is simply a crime! No wonder, my father Allen last night when he knew that Andrew took the initiative to accompany the two ladies to go shopping. The suffocated schadenfreude smile on the face.

Finally, in the evening, two interested ladies, each carrying two or three bags of clothes, found Andrew, who was dozing off on the side of the street.

The two ladies were each carrying two or three bags of clothes, adding up to only five bags of clothes. The two interested ladies went shopping for most of the day, almost 5 hours, and unexpectedly, only bought 5 pieces of clothing.

Andrew couldn't help but sigh: A woman's appreciation and meticulousness are impossible to judge!

After two days of rest at home, Andrew received a call from Mr. Henry of Hong Kong, and the Bahamas expedition personnel who had set off in advance sent back a preliminary report on the private island expedition. The specific next step will have to be decided by Andrew after reading the preliminary inspection work report.

As a result, on October 26, Andrew said goodbye to his family and Emma and took a flight back to Hong Kong.
