Chapter 269 Ancient and Modern
As the sun was setting, He Xia didn't go anywhere in the afternoon. He quietly enjoyed the breezy and calm sky in the foreign country at the hotel. From time to time, an unknown bird flew to the balcony and picked up some unfinished food for a while. Mouth, leisurely leisurely.
Until dinner time, Pilias called, exaggerating the process of contacting various companies. He said that it was a hype and had no other meaning. He just wanted to let He Xia know that every capital wanted a Faro Leo Group, but Farorio finally chose H·E Investment Company.
He Xia didn't expose Pilias, man, he still needs a slightly smoother mask.
The two agreed on the time and place to sign the contract and ended the call.
At nine o'clock in the evening, He Xia was discussing strokes with Greg in the billiard hall of the hotel when Lawyer Zhang called.
"Boss, I'm at Heathrow Airport now, and I've met Professor Smith and Dr. Zhou, and they are very enthusiastic."
Lawyer Zhang was standing next to a commercial vehicle to call He Xia, and there were many people standing around.
After Professor Smith learned from Zhou Shiyu that He Xia had sent someone over, he had to come to the airport to pick him up together to show respect. When he moved, the four bodyguards who followed him would naturally follow him.
Once Zhou Shiyu leaves Cambridgeshire, he will be accompanied by an assistant bodyguard and a dedicated driver. A group of eight people will run from Cambridgeshire to London to pick up the airport.
He Xia was a little surprised. He didn't expect Professor Smith to pick him up at the airport in person. He put down his pool cue and said, "Say hello to Professor Smith for me. In addition, according to the plan we discussed before, use the time tonight to share with the other party. The contract has been drawn up, and I can sign it tomorrow if there is no problem!"
As the big sponsor behind the scenes, there is no need to do everything personally, just wait for the subordinates to finish, and be responsible for the final check.
Lawyer Zhang knew his responsibilities, nodded and said, "Okay, boss, then I'll be busy here first."
"Okay, remember to ask the person in charge of purchasing to hurry up and don't delay the process. Once the fund account is set up, you can contact Lu Qian, and I will send the money there!"
"Ok, no problem!"
Without much communication, the two hung up the phone.
Lawyer Zhang put away his mobile phone and said to Professor Smith: "Professor Smith, Mr. He asked me to say hello to you for him. He hopes that we can complete the contract as soon as possible and start purchasing equipment immediately."
Professor Smith's attitude was the same as He Xia's, even more impatient, and immediately called those instrument manufacturers to place orders. It doesn't matter if the money is a little late, the most important thing is to stock up the equipment. Not every equipment is in stock, and some may need to be pre-ordered!
A group of people got into three cars and drove towards Cambridgeshire.
During the drive of more than an hour, lawyer Zhang looked over the contract between Cambridge College and Professor Smith. There was no major problem, but some minor details were slightly unclear.
When they arrived at the place, the three parties sat together and discussed. Attorney Zhang represented He Xia, Professor Smith and the Cambridge College party. After more than two hours, they finally completed the contract and reached a consensus.
Early the next morning, an Airbus A380 took off from Eleftherios Venizelos Airport, crossed the Adriatic Sea, skimmed over Italy and France, crossed the English Channel, and landed at London Heathrow international airport.
Heathrow International Airport was first built in [-]. After the baptism of World War II, it is still in use today and has become the busiest gateway international aviation hub in Europe!
There are 48 aircraft takeoffs and landings a year, more than [-] a day, and there are aircraft taking off and landing almost every minute, which is very busy.
In such a busy airport, after the huge A380 landed, there were no large waves of tourists getting off the plane, but only black suits leaning forward. Everyone who saw this scene knew that there was a big man coming!
Since hiring bodyguards, He Xia has to wait behind Greck and Gourav no matter when he gets off the plane or the car, but this feeling is pretty good!
"Who is that young man? Do you know him?"
Some people in the terminal hall have been paying attention to the situation of the A380. It is strange to see the young Asian standing among several bodyguards.
His partner shook his head: "I don't know him, maybe he is the president of some unicorn company? It's very possible at this age."
"I look more like a playboy from a wealthy family, accompanied by two beauties, a serious president doesn't have so much energy..."
Many people discussed it, but none of them came to a definite answer.
If it was in a big city in China, someone might recognize He Xia, but he is not well-known in Europe, and foreigners basically don't know him, but there are people in China who know him!
On the runway not far from the A380, an A350 had just landed, and a handsome man looked at He Xia through the porthole, his eyes full of astonishment.
"That's... Zhou Shiliu's coach? He chartered an A380 by himself?!"
Wang Ziteng saw He Xia standing next to the A380, and the flight attendants were respectful, his face was full of envy and jealousy, especially when he thought of He Xia and Zhou Shiliu talking and laughing together, combined with this situation, finally He let out a long breath.
People take the special plane A380, and I take the A350, although it is first class...
Surrounded by bodyguards, I am alone...
He bought a large company with a market value of billions of dollars and merged it into his own company, so he could only rely on his family relationship to do some business...
For example, during this trip to England, the last painting has already been sold, and I have to find a way to get another one.
"Well, not from the same world at all!"
For ordinary people who have just reached the per capita income, Wang Ziteng's family can be considered wealthy, but compared to He Xia...
The gap is too big, and he doesn't even have the courage to challenge.
Stepping on the land of England, He Xia looked up at the gray sky. It didn't have the sunny feeling of Barcelona and Athens at all. It looked like it was going to rain...
"boss!"
Yang Zicheng stood beside the airport runway and waved vigorously at He Xia. He Xia's exclusive car, Cavalier XV, was parked beside him.
He flew to the UK ahead of schedule yesterday, and he has completed various procedures for Knight XV, and now he can go on the street. Due to the abundant time, he also registered temporary license plates from many European countries on the website.
He Xia walked to Knight XV and knocked on the heavy car door, feeling very relieved.
Sitting in the car, he ordered: "Let you come here in advance to familiarize yourself with the road, and know how to get to Hungerford Castle?"
At the first stop in the UK, He Xia planned to visit his castle worth hundreds of millions of pounds, and then set off for Cambridgeshire after lunch. The efficiency of Cambridge College made him wait for nearly a month, which was not bad. At this hour and a half, anyway, follow-up matters are already underway, and the progress will not be delayed.
"Boss, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me, we believe in high technology, if we follow the navigation, we will definitely not lose it."
Yang Zicheng said happily that he mainly wanted to familiarize himself with the different traffic regulations in different countries, so that he would not be stopped by the traffic police while driving, which would spoil the boss's interest. Although he had memorized the roads, he was definitely not familiar with them.
"set off!"
He Xia pointed forward and said.
Not long after Knight XV left the airport, Gourav and Greck quietly got out of the car. In order to carry out better security work, they wanted to rent another car.
Heathrow International Airport is [-] kilometers west of London, and Hungerford Castle is [-] kilometers east of London. There are two roads to choose from, one is to take the high-speed road with good and clean suburban roads, and the other road is naturally across London. .
He Xia didn't care about asking Serena to wait at the castle for a while, and decisively asked Yang Zicheng to drive across London.
As the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, Britain has been brilliant for many years, especially during the [-]th and [-]th centuries. Even the "one superpower" with one superpower and many powers today has inextricable ties to Britain.
With the development of technology, the UK has lost its strong momentum in recent years.
However, London is still a world-leading world-class city, controlling nearly half of the world's foreign exchange transactions, and also has the pricing power of commodities such as gold, silver and crude oil, with an average daily foreign exchange transaction volume of more than 7000 trillion. It is three times that of the beautiful country and ranks first in the world.
More than 2000 years ago, the Romans not only established the city of Rome, but also established London across the strait. After 2000 years of ups and downs, London now enjoys a pivotal position in the world's financial circles.
If New York is a young financial rookie who wears gold and silver and is full of fashion elements, then London is an old gentleman wearing a neat suit, a top hat, and a civilized stick under his arm.
Drive into the city along the road next to the Thames.
Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Palace of Westminster...
Swiss Re Tower, London Eye, London Bowl...
The buildings on the street outside the window span a huge age, and there are many reinforced concrete buildings with a strong sense of design, but you don’t know when a thousand-year-old stone bump will break in!
Thick historical buildings and skyscrapers are intertwined, and the ancient and modern atmospheres collide with each other, looking for that delicate balance in the contradiction.
"Which of you has been to New York?"
He Xia looked out the window and asked.
Besides himself, there were three people in the car, the driver Yang Zicheng, the secretary Lu Qian and the assistant bodyguard Eliza.
Yang Zicheng grinned: "Boss, this is my first time going abroad with you."
Lu Qian shrugged and said with a smile, "The farthest I have ever traveled is an island country."
Sitting in the co-pilot, Elisa turned her head slightly and said, "Mr. He, I have been to New York twice, and one of them lived in New York for a week."
Her experience is much richer than the other two. As a top assistant bodyguard, being well-informed is a very basic element.
"Which city do you think is more attractive, New York or London?" He Xia asked.
He has never been to New York, and he will definitely go in the future, but now he wants to hear the opinions of people around him.
Elisa pondered for a while, and said: "New York and London have different charms. I prefer the atmosphere of New York. Hundreds of countries, people of different skin colors, different nationalities, and different cultures are together, bursting out to the extreme. vitality."
"And London . . . is too old, Tooold!"
Eliza felt moved as she looked at the ancient Tower of London in the distance.
Some people like the new, others like the old.
He Xia has never seen New York City before, but only learned a little about it during the chat with Zhou Shiliu, which has no reference value, so he does not comment on which of the two cities is good and which is bad. At least for now, London feels good to him .
In London in the morning, the traffic is not too bad. Yang Zicheng scratched his head because of the winding and twisted roads. He only complained that it was much more difficult to drive than the roads in Beijing. Fortunately, there is navigation, otherwise he would have lost a car full of people. ...
In the eastern suburbs of London, about 20 kilometers away from the center of London, Veolia Power Company is located on the inner side of a curved channel of the Thames River. After driving past the power company, there is a low earth wall on the right side of the road. The side extends into the woods, looking at the direction, the end should be on the bank of the Thames.
An orange mini countryman was parked among the trees, and a beautiful woman in a short beige trench coat was sitting on the hood with a pensive look on her face.
Serena rushed to the UK overnight. As a senior socialite, she often travels to and from various European countries, and has residences and vehicles in several major cities.
Not far in front of her is a dilapidated stone arch, about three meters high and four meters wide, with a very distinct ancient Roman style.
Of course, the arch leading to the castle could not have been built in the ancient Roman period. At the end of the eighteenth century in the last world, there was a revival of Greek and Roman styles in Britain. Many buildings of that period were Greek and Roman styles.
On the stone wall beside the arch is a metal sign covered with vegetation, and the words of the Earl of Hungerford's family fief can be seen faintly.
The dilapidated iron gate is closed tightly, many places have been corroded and broken, and there is no protective effect at all. The door can be easily broken through with one foot. What's more, the earth walls on both sides of the arch are only half a person high, which is neither anti-gentleman nor anti-corruption. villain.
rustling...
The sound of tires crushing fallen leaves sounded, and the knight XV full of metal art stopped in front of the arch. The products of modern industry collided with historical photos, which was modern and ancient.
"Xia, I returned a message to Tuke Byers yesterday, and it was rare for him to calmly tell me that when he has a chance, he will specially invite you..."
Serena walked up to He Xia and said.
He Xia nodded, his gaze stayed on the dilapidated arch, and he asked questions: "How did it break like this..."
Serena shrugged with a smile: "Don't you know that Hungerford Castle has been unoccupied for decades? Why are you meeting here?"
He Xia made a strange expression, pointed to the castle visible among the trees in the distance, and said, "Because this piece belongs to me now."
"what?"
Serena was so surprised that she lost control of her expression, she blurted out and asked, "Are you related to the Earl of Hungerford family?"
He Xia raised his eyebrows and asked, "From your tone, you know a lot about the Hungerford family?"
While talking, He Xia walked to the door, ready to clean up the messy plants, and Elisa beside her stepped forward to remove those annoying vines.
At this moment, an old Land Rover SUV stopped behind Cavalier XV, and Gourav and Greck also arrived.
Serena said with a reasonable expression: "After learning about the prototype of the characters on the Titanic, I have a little understanding of the Earl of Hungerford family. The first Earl of Hungerford was enshrined in [-] In [-], the Duke of Byron sold his fief and used all his savings to build a fleet to fully support Greek independence."
"And the Earl of Hungerford's family didn't have a glorious time for a long time. It started to decline in less than a hundred years, to be exact, in less than 80 years. In the end, they had to choose to marry a steel tycoon in the beautiful country at that time."
"The earl's family gained wealth, the heir of the steel tycoon won the title of nobility, and the marriage of mutual benefit, but the sinking of the Titanic led to the rapid decline of the two families."
(imaginary)
He Xia listened to Serena's explanation, the temperature around him seemed to drop suddenly, ice fog appeared in front of his eyes, and he felt that he had traveled back to the last moment of the world of Titanic in an instant!
There were screams and wailing in my ears, arms full of desire to survive stretched out of the water, and the icy sea water slapped the frightened cheeks. No matter the wealthy rich or the poor who sneaked onto the boat and planned to smuggle to the beautiful country, it was difficult for them to escape. Escape bad luck!
"With that shipwreck, there are too many families that have fallen..."
Many characters in the movie can find prototypes in the real world.
"That's true. Although there were many civilians on the Titanic, there were also many nobles and tycoons on the cruise..."
Serena seemed to be in the world of the Titanic, and her eyes were full of disappointment. Immediately, she suddenly thought of something and asked: "Xia, since this castle is now your property, is it true that the legendary ocean Does the heart really exist?"
The corners of He Xia's eyes twitched imperceptibly, and the corner of his mouth smiled and said ambiguously: "It's hard to imagine what kind of sensation it will cause when such a gem is released!"
"That would be absolutely spectacular!"
Serena knew that she had asked a stupid question, but this did not prevent her from keeping a longing for the legendary gem!
