Helena made a net profit of £68 million from the privatisation of British Steel.

Hall wanted to borrow the money to support the cash on his books to bid for Columbia Pictures, but Martin Davis wanted to pull him into Paramount to cash in on the proceeds of the Century merger and acquisition.

So how to spend this cash of up to one-third of the family's total assets has become a question worth pondering, and it is impossible to go to the Soviet Union to buy an aircraft carrier and turn it into a private yacht.

"When will Gagosian arrive?" Hall's mind turned, and he vaguely had a thought.

Cheng Chen put the steaming white rice porridge on the table: "The twentieth, that is, the day after tomorrow." ”

"The porridge is well cooked." Hall praised.

"Thank you."

"Then you study with Aunt Caroline."

Hall stirred the porridge with a spoon, paused and continued: "If you've consulted her, you'll know that I like women to wear men's watches. ”

"Sorry......"

Cheng Chen glanced at the Breguet classic diamond watch on her wrist, which she carefully selected the day before yesterday, and the counter sales said that this watch is the most tasteful and in line with the femininity of the workplace.

"Swap it out." Hale shouted in an arrogant tone, "You're my personal assistant from today onwards, so you'll have to be completely in my shape, even a single strand of hair." ”

Well, there is a significant difference between an investment department assistant and a personal assistant, but the speed of the face change is outrageous, and the previous sentence is still praising her......

Cheng Chen secretly scolded herself, but her hand movements were not slow to take off the watch on the spot, because she knew that she could gain more in this way, such as trust.

"Very well, go to Aunt Caroline, she knows what to do." Hall bowed slightly.

Cheng Chen said with a little reluctance: "Aunt Carolyn asked me to tell you that Forbes magazine would like to invite you and Mrs. Helena to have an exclusive interview to count the world's billionaire rankings and wealthy families." ”

The Forbes rich list has just been launched a few years ago, and its influence is becoming more and more significant, and the opposite of influence is that Forbes's statistics on the assets of the rich are all guesswork, which is better known as estimates.

Not all billionaires want to be famous, they can only count the public assets part, and last year the number of Forbes global billionaires was around 100.

This data is obviously nonsense, in fact, it should be in the range of 150 to 200.

However, many nouveau riche tried to fake their worth to enter the list, and write the name of a wealthy person such as Warren Buffett to enhance the value of goodwill, and the Kardashian family is a typical example in later generations.

Hall wasn't interested in that in the slightest, he was past the rank where he needed to be promoted on the rich list.

Later, when I went to Merlon's study for a party, I was ridiculed by the old men, "Oh, you are in front of me on the rich list", wouldn't Lord Hall be very faceless.

"Even if you don't give an interview, based on public assets, the Hall family's wealth can still enter the rich list, which is relatively low." Cheng Chen reminded.

Hall couldn't help frowning: "Can I sue them for infringement?" ”

"It seems that it can't, Buffett and Mr. Mellon are on the list." Cheng Chen replied helplessly.

Hall shrugged: "Help me give Forbes magazine editor-in-chief a set of ancient dragon collections." ”

"Bai Xiaosheng often dies miserably." Cheng Chen secretly couldn't help but smile and added in his heart.

She finally caught up with her boss's out-of-the-box thinking, even though it was childish.

Cheng Chen straightened her back and turned around to leave with an excited expression, she suddenly realized that the boss hadn't even celebrated his eighteenth birthday.

Her grandfather had just joined the peasant movement at his age, and his starting point was much lower than that of his boss, so perhaps she had a chance to follow in his footsteps, or at least have a successor.

Leaving the restaurant, Cheng Chen found Aunt Carolyn, who was arranging a family gathering, and was full of enthusiasm to help the other party in her work and ask for advice and learning.

Instead, they got a few thick brochures of fashion brands, as well as Christmas gifts from various luxury brands piled up in the small half-utility room.

"The ownership of these gifts in the past has been forgotten, and last year Hugo proposed to pick out some of them to be resold and donate to charity to make money, the kind that really does charity."

Aunt Caroline pointed to the catalogue she was holding, "Pick out the gifts you think can be resold here, and then choose a list of Christmas gifts for Hugo's friends from the catalogue." ”

"I need to go to the study to look things up." Cheng Chen made a request.

Aunt Caroline smiled slightly: "No problem. ”

From yesterday's performance at the dinner table, it can be seen that the yellow-skinned girl in front of her has an excellent tutor, but she still lacks a little understanding of English etiquette and culture, and she can be competent for most interpersonal trivialities and social scenes.

While Cheng Chen was holding a fashion brand brochure in the study and studying the entire bookcase, Helena was also sitting in the small living room looking through the "shopping list".

"Burberry's new products are getting worse and worse, which makes women who want to support domestic fashion brands feel sad."

She put down the album in her hand, picked up another one that belonged to Chanel and said.

Hall was sitting on the side and was consulting the information of the public basic livelihood and business fields such as water, electricity, and communications in the United Kingdom, and complained casually when he heard this: "I suggest that you forgive it, after all, we Brits are born without hedonistic genes, and Burberry is the only pride of the English fashion industry." ”

"Just like my son."

Helena couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, feeling that Burberry's new ugly new product looked a little more pleasing to the eye.

However, the fact is that as Hall said, the so-called six blue-blooded, eight-red-blooded and fourteen top brands in the high-luxury fashion circle, one each in Britain and the United States, and the rest are all divided between France and Italy.

This is still Burberry occupying the royal family of England; The cK in the United States is even worse, only one of the product lines is considered luxury, and other popular items such as pants and bras are not considered ......

"I'm sure you'll create England's second top fashion brand." Helena encouraged, "Mom now chooses Margaret Howell clothing brands for public occasions as much as possible. ”

Hall hurriedly put down the information, picked up the plate of fruit with both hands, and honored the old mother to show his gratitude.

This year, Helena's wardrobe of designer tailor-made dresses from Studio Margaret and Jenny Parkhan was all included in Helena's wardrobe, and the support was a perfect score.

Helena smiled reservedly, blinked her quiet brown eyes and asked, "So your gratitude to your mother is this fruit?" ”

"Uh...... Of course not, the gift I want to give you is being prepared. Hall smelled something wrong.

"You didn't give me a gift when you came back from studying."

"Also in preparation!"

"And what about Christmas presents?" Helena's voice grew softer and more ethereal.

Hall raised his hand in surrender: "Do you have any favorite gifts?" ”

"It's nothing, Chanel would like to invite you to shoot a fashion campaign with VoGUE, which will be featured on the cover of the UK and US in September next year."

Helena coughed lightly and continued: "In return, Chanel is willing to tailor the dress for me and you. ”

“…… I remember Chanel as if she had made clothes for us. ”

Hall felt for a moment that his IQ was not enough, and the old mother was kind to him for a long time just for this little thing?
