Since inadvertently coming up with the idea of a "magic school uniform", Aunt Cheryl seems to have developed the ability to fall asleep whenever and wherever she wants.

Cars, sewing machines, desks, even if the corners of your eyes are wet and your face is dirty, you can curl up in the sofa and fall asleep.

Hall gently moistened the towel to wipe off the makeup on her face, covered her with a blanket and turned off the light, and turned to walk out of the room.

The ballroom is lit up with neon lights, guests are chatting and laughing with wine glasses, and children outside are running around the Christmas market huts.

On the side of the main road leading directly to the manor villa, a long queue of trains is parked. There are Toyota, Ford, and more Rolls Royce, Bentley, Porsche.

A local British brand Leland sedan stopped more than ten meters away from the entrance of the villa, and a middle-aged couple dressed plainly walked in the car.

Mr. Benjamin, the lawyer of the Hall family, who was pacing and smoking on the side of the road, exchanged pleasantries for a moment before walking towards the main entrance of the villa.

The man's name was Philip May, and his wife was Theresa, who had been elected to the Greater London Borough of Merton the year before. The Hall family has property in Wimbledon, so she's barely a neighbor of the Hall family and qualifies for tonight's themed party. Of course, she is undoubtedly a member of the Conservative Party. ”

Aunt Caroline didn't know when she appeared and said, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm wondering if it's time for our family to build a parking lot." Hall smiled.

The Iron Lady came to power to dematerialize the tertiary industry dominated by finance, and the small town of Wimbledon, which is famous in Europe by hosting Wimbledon, has completely embarked on the route of a sports tourism characteristic town.

The Hall family had purchased a plot of land in the town a few years earlier, the same one they had invested in Canary Wharf, and had been hoarding land and waiting for it to appreciate.

Real estate, natural gas energy, hydropower and communications, the most secure business routes, Hall's name will be passed on for the next century.

"Lady Helena has put on her makeup." Aunt Caroline reminded implicitly.

Hall bowed slightly: "I can't refuse this invitation to dance together, wait a minute, I need to change my costume." ”

Tonight there were many young and beautiful girls from good families who came to the party with their elders, so he chose to dance the opening dance with his own mother, and no woman in the room shone brighter than Baron Helena.

Tonight, night and night.

…………

On December 20th, Hall met with Gagosian in his study at the Palace of Orange.

He placed a piece of paper with a string of place names on his desk: "Go and get in touch with the powerful people in charge of the petrochemical and gas plants in these areas, dollars, luxury cars, women, art, every way you can think of sports, and become good friends with them." ”

"Sorry, can I know your purpose, maybe I can give you a little bit of advice to reduce the cost of trial and error." Gao Guxuan's hairs rose as soon as he saw it, and cold sweat instantly appeared on his back.

The name of the place on the note contains 80% of the proven oil and gas reserves of the Soviet Union, which is too exaggerated, and the dollar will become waste paper in the face of industrial energy.

"My family will be in the gas industry next, and the Soviet Union happens to have a lot of cheap and high-quality natural gas," Hall confessed. ”

Gao Guxuan didn't let go of his throat and eyes, and then lifted his breath again, almost choking to death.

If the young aristocrat in front of him is unable to make the transportation of natural gas through millions of troops, does that mean that he thinks that the international situation will change dramatically in a short period of time, such as ...... The end of the Cold War?!

In fact, as early as that conversation in Greenwich, New York, Gagosian sensed that Hall was happy to see him help the Soviet elite transfer their assets.

He swallowed his saliva and barely managed to control his panic and said: "I recently made some friends from the Soviet Union, and according to them, it may be too early for the end of the Cold War. ”

"There's no need to speculate, because I can't answer your questions, and you will benefit from taking a walk through the streets of West Berlin when you have time." Hale couldn't help but chuckle.

The dominoes need to have a chain reaction one after the other, and the biggest "delusion" of people at the moment is the end of the Cold War, and they must wait for the fall of the Berlin Wall to dare to imagine the possibility of the disintegration of the opposing camp.

Although the fall of the Berlin Wall next year was accidental, the impact was immeasurable, with the rapid loss of assets and talent increasing by the day, and the entire Soviet Union being plunged into a state of bloodshed.

For Hall, this time node is not early, and he can enter the market to buy the bottom.

Seeing that he could not change the will of the young aristocrats, Gao Guxuan sat up straight and proposed with a serious face: "In fact, most of the powerful people in the upper echelons of society in the Soviet Union have a good sense of the West, and making friends with them is more subtle and efficient. ”

"It's far from enough, listen to my words clearly, it's the grassroots real power who holds those energy plants, everyone!" Hall repeated.

Without a history book that has experienced the chaos of the Red Bear's downfall, no one can imagine that a general is less valuable than an administrator with a warehouse key.

It is a robbery that needs to be narrated in an epic way, the big people have the big people's gameplay, the small people have the small people's robbery methods, everyone has their own magic across the sea, and no one wants to care about anyone.

It's all the property of the grandfathers of the division of labor, why do you care about me, if you get in a hurry, the table will be lifted, don't play!

And Hall can't collude with the real bigwigs of the Soviet Union for the time being, after all, he has a political identity, and that kind of behavior is too sensitive.

It's not too late to wait until the day of the real collapse......

"I see."

Gagosian had no choice but to accept it decisively.

Hall stood up satisfied: "Follow me." ”

As he spoke, he walked out and led Gagosian to walk wordlessly all the way to the chapel of Orange Palace.

Luca stood outside the church and whispered a prayer, where Helena sat alone in the first row of chairs and prayed silently.

"Quiet."

Hall stood in the doorway and gave a reminder, then clasped his hands together and closed his eyes and bowed his head in prayer.

Gao Guxuan's mind was confused and uncertain, so he followed the prayer in the same way.

"Do you remember Nick?"

A soft question suddenly came from his ears, and Gao Guxuan hurriedly put down his gesture and asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Underground boxing matches, Nick, a street bastard with no surname."

Hall recalled: "His fake gold chain faded, and it took me half an hour to get back to the hotel and wash it off, and my hands were bright red." But thanks to Him, I no longer resist red, as long as I achieve my goal. ”

"As you wish, I will follow your will."

Gao Guxuan bowed and saluted, swearing allegiance only for a moment.

“Godblessyou.”

Outside the church, Luca clenched the cross on his chest.

Holmey crossed the distance, stood beside his mother and waited for a few seconds, deliberately raising his voice: "Ma'am, what wish do you want to fulfill?" ”

"Hugo, I miss the deceased, your grandfather, my grandfather, our ancestors." Helena said angrily, "This is the same prayer every Christmas."

Hall crouched down and hugged her: "oKoK, grandpa is on top, my mother and I are doing well." I will take care of her in your place, may you rest in heaven in peace, don't always run into my mother's dreams, call me if you have any grievances......"

"Hugo!" Helena interrupted in a raised tone, pressing his shoulders hard with both hands, "You can't be so frivolous. ”

Hall blinked: "...... I'm eighteen years old, you have to save face in front of outsiders, you can't always teach me a lesson. This is what Grandpa asked me to tell you, he just called me yesterday. ”

"Poof."

Helena laughed angrily, her eyes wandering and glaring at him without any damage.

Hall grabbed her shoulders and turned in the direction of the door: "He agreed." ”

Helena smiled elegantly and warmly, and bowed slightly to Gagosian.
