Chapter 223: Really Fierce and Busy!
Only those who have truly stepped into the billionaire class can understand the gap between themselves and those who are super-rich.
There is no difference in investment returns between the average rich and the super-rich. And the huge capital gains have become a watershed between the average rich and the super-rich, resulting in the average rich going to the Isle of Wight for a holiday, and the super-rich going to the Isle of Wight for a holiday on a superyacht.
Some people say that superyachts are the only thing that can distinguish a billion from a billionaire.
Because it is the "most useless" and "least needed" thing in life, yet almost everyone in the world who can make the Forbes rich list is chasing it.
Some describe it as a modern church on the sea, with all its ornate decorations and extravagant appearance. It is also a favorite giant toy of the super-rich.
Of course, this is just a simple example, and the difference between the average rich and the super-rich is not simply a difference between people, but very different from each other, very different from each other, and very different in style.
Of course, in Arthur's view, the gap between him and a super-rich man like Warren Buffett is naturally more than a superyacht or a private jet can close the distance.
It's like the closer a mountain gets to the top, the steeper it becomes.
As for what contentment?
Neither the average rich nor the super-rich will be content, but will always worry about being squeezed out of this circle.
Almost everyone is on high alert all the time, thinking about getting rid of the potential threat of defeat. Their YW, can never be filled, because their YW has been growing upwards.
In Arthur's touching words, "It's a ridiculous addiction." ”
Just as after seeing Warren Buffett's report, Arthur sighed, and all that was left was the ambition that one day, I also wanted, and could do, rather than my wealth was enough to spend, and I should enjoy the contentment and happiness of life.
Ambition, YW will of course bring some anxiety to Arthur, such as what investment risks, huge debts, in case of failure and becoming destitute, etc., these are all worries that Arthur could not eliminate from his mind.
However, there is no way around it, life is easy without anyone. But making choices that make you happier may make life a little easier.
This is also why he never refrains from his YW pursuit in the aspect of women, because they can bring him happiness...
“。。。 I'm writing, what about you, when are you going back to London?"
Arthur, who had been concentrating on coding letters and rushing the manuscript, was interrupted by a phone call from Amilia, who had returned to his parents' house in Redding, Berkshire, and paused proudly, smiling and leaning back in the boss's chair to chat with her.
"I'll be back in London tomorrow, and I'll hear from Eddie that the crew of 'Boleyn Manor' has started setting up a kitchen studio in the manor, and I think it won't be long before filming can begin. On the phone, Emilia asked with a little excitement.
"Hehe, yes, but it will take a week or two, although the old class life is restored, but many elements are the product of imagination, and it is not easy to restore it in the TV series, especially the scene "downstairs", those past rooms in Boleyn Castle have long been abandoned.
So I had to build a kitchen in the studio, and I had seen the well-designed renderings that the crew had sent me, and the crew had stolen a lot of inspiration from the country house. Everything in it, from a large wall to small cutlery, had to be built and made. Arthur said with a smile.
In fact, at the beginning, Arthur didn't expect that Du Li TV would build the set so bloody, and it really achieved a high degree of restoration of the kitchen set of that era.
Originally, the crew was going to set up the kitchen set in the studio of a film and television company in London, 70 kilometers away, but how could Arthur let such a good thing slip out of his hands.
“。。。 I asked the housekeeper Paul to directly clean up a waste forage warehouse in the manor, give them free use, let them build a set in it, so that the crew will not have to run back and forth, the only requirement is that after the TV series is filmed, the set must be preserved intact, I believe that after this TV series is broadcast, Boleyn Manor will become the most famous castle, and these scenes in the TV series will also become an indispensable part of the castle scenery. ”
Arthur laughed and told Emilia about the story of the kitchen set downstairs, and after Emilia listened, her coquettish laughter came over the phone, "Haha, you are so shrewd, an abandoned warehouse in exchange for a tourist attraction." ”
"Hehe, each takes what he needs... Arthur smiled with a raised smile.
The two chatted for a while before ending the call, Arthur put his phone on the desk, smiled, sorted out his thoughts, and continued to write "Fifty Shades of Gray".
His time is very full now, at four o'clock, he has to rush to the health club, meet with Emily Shaw, work out together, think of Emily in sports, absolutely pleasing to the eye, especially can also try his skills, Arthur is full of motivation.
And in the evening, Arthur received an invitation from Aimmo Alamuddin to her house for dinner, which has to be said to be a surprise.
Originally, he was worried about Aimo's ankle injury and didn't want to cause her trouble, but after Aimo explained that he had outsourced tonight's dinner, he gladly accepted the invitation.
When he saw Emily in athleisure wear in the lobby of the health club, he took her to his VIP gym with her, and when he saw her smiling evilly, taking off her jacket, wearing only a gray suspender sports waistless vest and a pair of gray extremely tight gym pants, Arthur looked at her charming lines outlining her hot body, and immediately felt restless.
"Ahem... Emily, you're going too far, how can I still work out?" Although Arthur had a helpless and wry smile on his face, his eyes did not miss the opportunity to appreciate it, and he feasted on it.
"Gurgle... Emily just raised the corners of her mouth, raised her eyebrows, and smiled smugly, ignoring Arthur's complaints, but stood on the treadmill, turned on the switch, and began to walk with the treadmill, then slowly accelerated, and began to run.
"Tsk... I feel like I've stepped into a basketball court, and you're a burden on the dribble!" Arthur took off his sports jacket and sat down on the paddle machine a little unnaturally, but his eyes never took his eyes off Emily.
