The next morning, the sky was bright.

The bell tower chimes echo far away, doves flapping their wings and fluttering, and morning prayers in the church are pious and solemn.

London wakes up from a noise that is coming alive.

Skirting Richmond Park and jogging along the Thames embankment, I happened to hear an old man opening his voice into the river.

"Phew, Phantom of the Opera, I like it, I don't know when I'll be able to move to the theater in Paris." Cheryl gasped with her hands on her knees.

Based on the novel of the same name, the opera premiered in London last year and will have to wait a while to see it in Paris.

Hall followed: "Do you know Margaret Howell?" ”

"The one who took the initiative to talk to you at the cocktail party yesterday? Acquaintance, she is a minimalist style. Cheryl replied.

Hall continued: "According to her, it seems like business is in trouble......"

"Mornings are the time of day when my brain is most focused, and this time is my own." Cheryl straightened up, "Let's listen to some music." ”

Hall scratched his head: "Do you want something to drink?" ”

"Aobai, hot, by the way, help me get a few tissues." Cheryl is close to the riverside parapet.

Hall turned and walked away, and after ten minutes or so, he returned with two cups of coffee and placed them on the parapet with paper towels.

"Thank you. Is there anything planned for the holiday, except for the hunting that I said last night. Cheryl pulled out a tissue to wipe her sweat.

Hall thought for a moment: "No, hunting to repay my classmates, and then stay at home." ”

"I'll be back in Paris after Fashion Week in two days, come with me for two days? The girls in Paris are very beautiful. Cheryl quipped.

Hall "cut": "Boring joke." Except for the food, everything in Paris doesn't appeal to me. ”

Oh, and by the way, there's Notre Dame Cathedral that's still alive, and it's worth checking out for a chance.

Cheryl smiled disapprovingly, and after a long silence, she provoked the conversation: "Margaret is a little famous in the industry, her design style is relatively new, except for the neon Issey Miyake, there are no too authoritative people in this style category."

She and her husband partnered to start a business and open a store, I don't know what went wrong, the two are divorced this year, and the store in Paris seems to be closed, and the trouble should be quite big.

The apparel industry is different from finance, and if you want to do something about it, I recommend that you do it all first. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Lily, I'm just curious." Hall nodded.

Cheryl took a sip of her coffee: "I thought you were affected by that merger and acquisition. ”

"You don't say no, when you mention this, I'm a little affected." Hall smiled.

This year, the ongoing mergers and acquisitions of French luxury goods giant Louis Vuitton (LV) and wine giant Hennessy (MH) have been torn apart, and the two sides have been tugging for months.

It won't be long before a third party nicknamed the "European Wolf King" will join the battlefield, backstabbing the two giants, and then out of control, sweeping the global luxury industry with the momentum of King Qin's sweep, and laying down a luxury empire with a market value of tens of billions of dollars - LVMH.

It's quite exciting to think about this kind of thing, especially if you have the opportunity to witness it with your own eyes.

"What should I say, ambitious?" Cheryl's words changed, "Little Hugo has grown, this is the first time I have said it this time, it's very gratifying, really." ”

Hall just smiled and said nothing, it was okay to witness from the sidelines, and it was better to follow in person.

“…… You go back first, I'm looking for some inspiration. Cheryl said.

Hall looked at the murky river, wanted to complain and didn't know where to start, shrugged his shoulders and left.

The wind blew and wrinkled, and inadvertently turned around, and the beautiful figure stood by the river and looked up at the Ferris wheel that could be seen in the distance, and a strand of golden hair fluttered gently in his ears.

The sun shines, and the light and shadow of the side face are intertwined, and the light and dark are mixed.

"Actually, London is pretty ......," Hall said to himself.

…………

"Hugo, there is your courier, neon sent it, where to put it?"

When I got home for breakfast, Aunt Caroline appeared with a package in her hand.

Hall's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the express: "I'll just come by myself, this is a game console, it's finally here." ”

"Is it Nintendo, I remember you bought one before." Caroline helps with the paper cutter.

Hall explained: "It's different, this is their new local version last year, and there is a game in it that the European version doesn't have, so I wrote to the manufacturer to buy this one." ”

"Well, it looks like I'm falling behind. Speaking of neon's semiconductors in the past two years, the development has been very rapid, and the United States has given them a lot of help in the high-tech industry. ”

With Hall's performance, Caroline casually mentions commercial content when communicating with him.

The two of them said as they unwrapped the package and connected a red and white, shoebox-sized machine to the TV.

In the large pile of cards that come with it, Hall finds a guy with Super Mario printed on it.

The image of the two beards becomes more and more intimate, full of childhood memories.

Unfortunately, Mario today is even more vague than he recalls.

Connected to the game, a lump of extremely low-resolution games is modeled like a mosaic, and the game levels are different.

It can only be said that it is barely used to kill time.

After playing for a while, Hale threw down the console and went back to the bedroom to pull out a notebook from the locked desk drawer.

Flip through the paper covered with dense handwriting, and write down three phrases on the new page: Nintendo, Semiconductor, and Margaret Howell.

"It's time to make a mind map."

Hall looked at the small notebook full of business opportunities and social events in the next thirty years, and smashed his mouth.

From the time he crossed to the present, he has thought of what to remember one after another, basically a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and it is not systematic.

Although I am not ready to spend time on business and politics, become bigger and stronger, and create brilliance or something, but the opportunity to make money is wasted in vain.

Don't think long-term, just say that after the money you make from Black Monday arrives in a few days, there must be a place to go.

20 million pounds, just for their own daily consumption is enough, and even the money spent may not have a balance in the bank, and the interest will naturally increase rapidly.

Spend a lot of money, a private jet, a luxury yacht, or really buy a football club...... It's almost meaningful, you can afford to consume, but you can't afford to consume the top.

Hall expects some of this money to be consumed, and the rest to continue to invest, make more money, and then eat the best, drink the best, and play the best......

So coming back, at present, in his memory, there is no short-term opportunity to make money like "Black Monday" in the short term.

Long-term investment involves a series of factors such as "opportunity cost", so much money on hand, and thousands of investment opportunities, it is necessary to sort out the best options.

Hall calmed down to sort out the mind map, shook his head and smiled: "Spending money is really a technical job...... The desire is endless, and it was originally said that it was good to lie flat...... I'm such a greedy person. ”
