Chapter 183: The sound of gunfire echoes, and blood splatters
With Sony's complete entry into the game and the completion of fund raising, Hall's attention has completely turned to neon.
At present, Hirohito has just been put into the coffin, and the cemetery has not yet been set to be built, and with the miscellaneous process of chasing the number of the seven stops, it will not be buried until the end of February.
The British government and the royal family have initially discussed and decided that the royal family will come forward and send the queen's husband, Prince Philip, as a diplomatic envoy to mourn.
Hale can then accompany the team on behalf of the council, and no one will rob him of this kind of false courtesy. The Earl of Byron and his people were happy to see it, and it was best for the young aristocratic leaders not to miss any opportunity to brush their faces in public.
If it weren't for the fact that he was so young and didn't have a real title, the old and young of the nobility would have pushed him to rebel and steal the role of Prince Philip's messenger, but unfortunately the royal family didn't want to miss the opportunity to show his presence now.
It can only be said that we are about to enter the nineties, and everyone's life is getting harder and harder......
"So the huge amount of cash in the bank account has to be empty for at least 45 days, can I buy some short-term financial management or something first?" Cheng Chen asked as he wrote down the itinerary in his notebook.
Hall retracted his thoughts and said, "Okay, tell Pan Weidi to move as soon as possible, and follow me to Neon next month." ”
A few years later, AEc's quantitative trading department and securities department began to move to Greenwich Town, and after that, the London side only retained the headquarters administration and a small amount of European business.
The venture capital sector needs to run all over the world, and Munters wants to open a few more offices in major financial cities in the United Kingdom and the United States, and doesn't care much about where the nest is.
After the two of them finished chatting about work, the car drove into a manor on the beach side of Long Island.
A middle-aged man who looked a little like Easley stood in the view of the man-made fountain, surrounded by several guests, talking and laughing, as if waiting for some important guest.
"Pierce Bush, Ellis's youngest brother." Cheng Chen reminded softly.
Hall exhaled deeply to adjust his state, and he still couldn't figure out why Buffett's attitude when it came to re-betting on speculation seemed strange and ambiguous, and Mrs. Mellon asked him to take a look at the United States before going to neon to attend political gatherings on his behalf.
He figured out and got out of the car and gestured to Pierce, then walked inside.
"Welcome, Hugo." Ellis stepped forward with a smile on his face and shook his hand vigorously, "Why didn't you come with Mrs. Mellon, Pierce also said that he was going to meet you at the gate of the manor." ”
Hall faked a pat on his arm as a gesture of affection: "Mrs. Mellon has something to do temporarily, and she asked me to convey my apologies to you." ”
"Yes, then you have to share your life experience with the young people here on behalf of Mrs. Mellon, do you have prepared a speech in advance?" Ellis asked with a serious expression.
“…… I'd say I almost got stumped by you. ”
Hall was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed at himself and then at him: "Listen, no tax increases!" How about this line? ”
"Not only do you get the approval of young people, but you also get the support of all the people." Ellis raised his glass in salute.
Then the two looked at each other tacitly and laughed, like close friends for many years, 'Listen, no tax increases' is his father's most eye-catching campaign slogan.
After smiling and grinning for a while, Hall habitually sneaked into the corner of the reception as a spectator, observing the words and deeds of the guests.
Hall matched the information compiled by Cheng Chen with the guests one by one, and most of them were gold owners, and the government officials were lined with foils, and everyone was happy, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with this.
"Hall, we just met."
Halfway through the reception, Pierce Bush took the initiative to come over and talk, and his face was red with a slight smell of leaves.
Hall never touched it, so it was easy to smell it, and unconsciously pulled away a little to respond, "Thank you for your hospitality." ”
"You're welcome, why are you hiding here alone, do you want me to introduce you to a few friends?"
Pierce looked a little excited, and he looked at a tall white old man and said to himself: "He's a manager from Koch Industries, and he can steadily provide us with hundreds of new jobs every year. ”
"Don't despise such little people, sometimes money alone can't do things. In fact, I've always thought that Wall Street is good at everything, it's just not very down-to-earth. ”
Hall smiled: "The votes are greater than the dollar? ”
"That's pretty much it, we're going to dare to sanction Wall Street, but we're never going to go against the voters, so I think Wall Street needs to learn to respect its friends......," Pierce took a big sip of wine.
As he spoke, a man who looked like an assistant quietly appeared beside Hall, put his hand over his mouth and whispered in his ear, "Your assistant is in trouble, in Pierce's room." ”
After saying that, he walked straight away.
Pierce asked with a concerned expression, "Did something happen?" ”
"Nothing, a little problem." Hall said and beckoned to the waiter, "Please call my driver, his name is Luca, he should be in the lounge next door." If he's not there, ask Mr. Ellis to come over. ”
"Ellis seems to be busy, just let me know if you need help." Pierce chimed in.
Hale put down his glass and looked at him for a moment, then silently looked around to find his brother's location and walked straight over there.
…………
A few minutes later, in the bedroom of a luxurious suite, Cheng Chen was curled up next to the bedside table with only a blanket wrapped in his body, burying his face in his knees.
Hale leaned against the door and lit a cigarette until the ashes were gone, and neither of them spoke.
The cigarette butts burned holes in the fluffy blankets, giving off an unpleasant smell.
"They said I had to stay in a separate lounge for the sake of national security, not with the rest of the guests' henchmen. There were two strong women in the separate lounge, they suspected that I was a spy and wanted to search and interrogate, they said that the air conditioner was broken and the weather was cold, so I was interrogated while taking a shower, but the water heater was also broken. ”
Hall turned and walked out of the bedroom, sliding the lighter to light a second cigarette.
Outside, in the living room, Luca looked embarrassed and bowed his head, Ellis paced back and forth like a grumpy lion, and Pierce sat on the couch with his legs crossed, and behind him stood two stout maids.
Seeing him come out, Ellis stepped up to his younger brother in three or two steps and scolded in a low voice, "Apologize!" ”
"I don't know anything......"
"Just the three of us here, apologize, or I'll ask my father to send you to work for a charity in Africa." Ellis interrupted.
Pierce's eyes widened, as if to say that you are serious, and after a few seconds of stalemate, he grabbed a ball of paper to wipe off his nose and threw it away nonchalantly and said, "I'm sorry Hall, although I really don't know what happened, but I'm willing to apologize to you." Because we're friends, we need to respect each other, right? ”
"Bang!"
Gunshots roared and blood splattered.
