Chapter 254: Black Feather Dragon Sparrow (1)
Eastern Hemisphere, Shanghai.
Grint Buffett stepped out of the car with the help of the driver, and someone immediately handed over the crutches. Standing on crutches and looking down from a strengthened glass window, he could take in half of the view of Shanghai, and it was night, and the neon-lit city looked a little unreal.
"Lord Duke......" The black-clothed bodyguard wanted to say something, but saw the old man wave his hand.
"It's okay, I'll go by myself." With that, he slowly stepped into the direct elevator behind him.
This is a restaurant, standing on the top floor of Alaska, the highest space city in Shanghai, and only exists as a Western restaurant.
Grimnt Buffett, Duke of Aster, was invited to the city tonight, and the one who has recently resounded in the financial circles of Fei Leng Cui is also on it, or should I say, the invitation she sent out.
Xia Yanqing sat cross-legged in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a goblet in one hand, which was filled with crimson wine, with a casual smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was more like the temptation of the devil.
This is the top floor of this Western restaurant, the revolving restaurant, and anyone who sits here to dine will feel a spontaneous sense of power in their hands. Generally speaking, the places here are always full, and to book a spot here, you may have to book a spot three months in advance.
But now it was empty, and the whole restaurant was dark, and only the light of the city outside shone in.
The old man stepped out of the elevator and saw the back of the man at a glance, and he came to the window with a cane and sat down on the only chair.
"Welcome, Lord Duke." Xia Yanqing's voice was full of ridicule, and there was no trace of respect at all.
"I've admired the name for a long time, Xia Yanqing." Warren Buffett said, "People in the financial world call you 'the dragon bird of the black feather,' and they are too afraid of you." β
"Yes." Xia Yanqing snapped his fingers, and immediately a waiter came out of the shadows, holding a tray with one hand, and respectfully placed it in front of Buffett, "Lord Duke is coming to the appointment so late, presumably he hasn't eaten yet, this is the specialty of this Western restaurant, Wellington steak." Of course, there is also red wine. β
Before the words fell, another waiter came to Buffett's table with a bottle of red wine in both hands, opened the bottle of red wine with a special opener, poured a little into the goblet, and then handed it to Buffett, and he took out a square towel to wipe the bottle, and then waited.
Warren Buffett raised his goblet, shook it, and then put it in front of his nose and sniffed, "It's really good wine." Fifty years of Russell, a special offer of ChΓ’teau Bordeaux. β
"Your Excellency the Duke is so knowledgeable, the Russell red wine specially offered by ChΓ’teau Bordeaux is not sold to ordinary people, let alone fifty years old." Xia Yanqing clapped her hands, she laughed with a naughty meaning, but if you look deeply, you will feel that it is a very treacherous smile, revealing black.
"There are a few bottles in the house," Buffett put down his glass and pushed it to the waiter, who immediately realized that he would pour out the red wine again.
"Lord Duke, what do you mean by money? Why are so many people willing to ruin their lives for that kind of thing? Xia Yanqing said suddenly.
Warren Buffett cut the steak with his hand, "You know this question very well, don't you?" Money, no matter how much we emphasize that it is only a form of transaction, if there is no value of the item itself, then money itself is a pile of waste paper and a mess of wrong data streams. β
"People are well aware of this, but they are still obsessed with money." Xia Yanqing took a sip of red wine, "Lord Buffett, you have made money for so many years, and now that you are the god of stocks and the richest man, you may not take money as a thing for a long time." But have you done anything? Like changing the world? β
"With money?" Warren Buffett pulled out a laugh, "I've changed the world, look at this country and the world, would it be like this without me?" β
"Actually, you haven't changed anything at all." Xia Yan said quietly.
"I've reached the limit of being a human being, and I'm trying to get everyone in this country rich and recovering from the shock of the wars of the last century." Warren Buffett put down his knife and fork, "Money is not everything, but no money is everything." You have heard this sentence before, and I mention it here to tell you that money may be able to change this society, this country, and even the whole world, but it cannot change the greed and laziness in people's hearts. I have done everything I can, but the people have not been able to do the most simple and trivial things, and they are willing to excuse them in all sorts of ways. β
"I know that there are always people in this world who try to get something for nothing, and I call them garbage." Xia Yan smiled sarcastically, "The resources of this world are limited, and sooner or later they will be exhausted. But we have been engaged in a meaningless production since ancient times, and we have worked tirelessly for it. That's a waste of resources, producing waste, is that what we're here for? β
"No, everyone has their own value." Warren Buffett said.
"But not everyone is willing to play their own value, and is more willing to waste their lives than others." Xia Yanqing got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, stretched out her hand and pressed it on the glass, she could look down on the night sky of Shanghai outside, and she could also see her own face.
"What do you want to do?" Warren Buffett sensed the danger, "You have to know that even the legendary God can't change the greed and those ugly dark sides of the human heart, no amount of effort is useless." β
"You're right, Lord Duke, human beings are born evil, aren't they? The Seven Deadly Sins enumerate the sordid of human nature, and no one can escape these charges. Xia Yanqing said, "Human beings are born with tyrannical factors in their genes, and killing is their nature, isn't it." β
"Are you criticizing human sin from the moral high ground? What a ridiculous act of mouth. β
"No, it's not a criticism, it's a statement." Xia Yanqing looked back at Buffett, "People are born to be good?" That's the most ridiculous deception, man is born sinful. β
"What exactly do you want to do?" Buffett came this time not only because of the cardinals' request, but also because she made Buffett curious about what could turn a girl who was still in college a few months ago into a feared black feather dragon sparrow in the financial circle.
"What I want to do has been tried to do a long time ago, and now I'm going to do that." Xia Yanqing smiled, "Come and defeat me, Lord Duke, if you lose, thirty-seven million wastes will die because of this." β
"You say ......" Buffett snapped the case, but before he could finish speaking, his own newsletter rang, and the screen cut in, opposite his law firm consultant.
"Mr. Buffett!" Mr. Advisor was terrified, "The Warren index is falling!" No...... It's crashing! It started falling three minutes ago, and now it is down 0.43461%! β
"You're attacking the Warren Index!" Warren Buffett instantly realized who was here to write it, "Do you know what the consequences will be if the Warren index collapses!" That would be the national ...... No! The end of the world! β
"That's your business, Lord Duke Buffett," Xia Yanqing said, "By the way, this place is closed until we decide the winner, and your bodyguards may not be able to come in and arrest me." β
At this moment, Buffett finally realized why this girl was called the Black Feather Dragon Sparrow. She's so intimidating, so young to have such a wrist.
"When the war starts, which of us will emerge victorious?" Xia Yanqing held the goblet, she shook the glass and looked at the city outside, her beauty bloomed at this moment, with a knife-like sharpness.
