Chapter 929 Night Walk

On August 5, just like Amber Sheehan had done before, Barron also chose to set off from Yanjing via the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail to Shanghai.

Just the day before, Jenny Smith ended her trip with Barron and was flown back to the United States by Barron's private plane, the Devonshire.

Because they chose to take the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail, Barron and his team directly booked the entire VIP carriage - in fact, even if he did not ask for it, for the sake of the safety of the Duke of England, who has a distinguished status and has friendly relations with China, Huaxia The security personnel will also contact the railway to request this.

Yes, now that Barron comes to China, not only will he have his own security team around him, but China will also send special personnel for protection.

"Your Highness the Duke, Mr. Ma from Alibaba Company will meet with you after you arrive in Magic City, and the meeting with Ms. Li Lu from Tianhe Capital is scheduled for the day after tomorrow..."

From Yanjing to Shanghai, the high-speed train takes about 4-5 hours depending on the number of trains. The high-speed train that Barron took took about 4 and a half hours to reach Shanghai.

On the way to the Magic City, Barron didn't feel sleepy. In addition to admiring the scenery along the way "again," he also took the time to do some work and confirmed with his personal assistant Dalula Riley. Part of the trip to Magic City.

This is not the first time that Dalula Riley has accompanied Barron to China. It is different from the first time she came to this land because of the language barrier and many things were not so convenient. During this period, Dalula Riley Li is well aware of the importance of the Chinese market to Barron, and has also taught herself Chinese. Although her spoken Chinese is far less fluent than Barron, and she still has a distinct accent, at least ordinary daily communication is basically non-existent. What's the problem.

In addition, before Dalula, Barron's two assistants, Wang Wanting and Zhang Junning, were both Chinese, which was one of the reasons why Dalula was determined to learn Chinese.

What's more, Wang Wanting is now responsible for managing the daily affairs of the huge Cavendish Trust, and Zhang Junning is responsible for Rich23 Capital. With the demonstration effect of these two Barron personal assistants, Dalula naturally cherishes the opportunities she has now.

But for Barron, he doesn’t have any particular preference when it comes to choosing a personal assistant - except for his body shape and appearance...

After all, the reason why Wang Wanting was chosen as his personal assistant was not only a coincidence, but also the reason why Barron came to England from China in his previous life and had a Chinese assistant by his side, which could give him more intimacy.

As for Zhang Junning, because the other party was a "star" that Barron knew in his previous life, he thought it was interesting to have her as a personal assistant, and she could help him more in contacting the Chinese industries that he was paying attention to at the time.

Now that he is here with Dalula Riley, Barron no longer has any preference as to whether the assistant is Chinese or needs to be from a specific ethnic group. As long as he is capable and trustworthy, it is fine - speaking of it, it seems The "simple" request is very difficult in Barron's current status.

…

"Your Highness the Duke, are you going to take a walk here with me?"

What Boss Lingma didn't expect was that Barron did not choose to meet him at home or in the office, but chose to meet him on the streets of Shanghai.

Fortunately, it was already nightfall at this time, and the weather in the Magic City was much cooler. If it were daytime, in the summer season, I would probably be sweating all over soon.

"I just suddenly want to take a walk around here and experience the night in Shanghai. Mr. Ma doesn't mind..."

Hearing what the British Duke in front of him said, Boss Ma smiled heartily:

"Of course I don't mind. To be honest, it's rare for me to have such an opportunity."

"Ryan, tell them not to be nervous. We are very safe in China."

Barron said the following words to the security chief who was looking around from time to time. However, even though he said this, Ryan Wilson, who was the security chief of His Royal Highness the Duke, still did not dare to relax and signaled to him. The security team spread out and vaguely surrounded Barron in the center.

In this way, Barron and his party are actually more conspicuous...

After all, it is not uncommon to see blond and blue-eyed foreigners occasionally in Shanghai. Although Boss Ma has already gained a lot of popularity, he has not yet gone public on Alibaba. He has begun to aspire to be the richest man in China, thus using his " "Money Ability", when he became "Dad Ma", not many people could recognize him when he was walking on the street like this.

But it was different when Barron and Boss Ma were surrounded by such a group of burly foreigners. With this kind of posture, it would be difficult not to attract attention in China.

So not long after walking, Barron discovered this problem. He stopped, pointed to one side, and said to Boss Ma:

"How about we go there and get something to eat?"

Boss Ma looked along what Barron pointed at. It was an inconspicuous noodle shop. The interior layout was very ordinary. You could see it through the glass window. Although there were two or three diners inside, the west side of the shop was still empty. , he said:

"Okay, I'm really a little hungry."

After entering the store, Barron chose a seat by the window and sat down. Opposite him, Boss Ma sat down facing him and looked at the menu on the table.

Barron asked the security personnel to eat at a few tables nearby, leaving Dalula to sit at the table next to him so as not to disturb his conversation with Boss Ma.

"Let's see what you want to eat? Your Highness, I'm afraid you haven't eaten this kind of Shanghai-style noodles before."

"Then you guessed wrong, Mr. Ma, I actually like to eat... Well, I would like this clam and pork liver soup noodle, with potato, pickled mustard and shredded pork. What about you?"

After hearing what Barron ordered, Boss Ma immediately believed what he said. After all, as far as he knew, British people rarely eat animal offal. Although Barron quite likes to eat Chinese food, if he has not really eaten it, , I’m afraid I won’t order such a dish with pork liver right away...

"Haha, then I want a large intestine noodles, and two cans of mung bean and lily soup. You can try this, Your Highness, it will clear away the heat."

While waiting for the meal to be served, Barron asked casually:

“Has the time for Alibaba’s listing been set?”

"I originally wanted to go public in the second half of this year, but judging from the current situation, April or May next year is a better choice. After all, although the stock market has begun to recover, the market sentiment is not too hot yet."

Boss Ma opened a can of mung bean and lily soup and handed it to Barron. He picked up another can, took a sip and said:

"And the company is not too short of funds now, so we can wait a little longer."
