Chapter 931: It seems like a lifetime ago
"Xin Ai, look, that foreigner is so handsome."
A baby-faced girl suddenly stopped, touched her friend next to her with her arm, and said happily.
The tall girl next to her, wearing sky blue professional attire, saw her friend's eyes shining forward and couldn't help but follow his gaze. Her eyes were immediately attracted by the tall, noble figure in the crowd. attract.
"He's very handsome. I've never seen such a handsome foreigner in Shanghai. Is he a model or a star? Just like a prince in a movie. I'm going to fall in love, Xin Ai..."
As she was talking, the usually cute baby-faced girl noticed the middle-aged man standing next to the handsome foreigner - mainly because of the contrast in appearance between the two, they were two extremes...
Her somewhat uncertain voice came out:
"The one next to the prince...is Majek?"
"Who is Majek?"
"He is the founder of Alibaba Company. The Taobao you often use is from Alibaba Company..."
The company the baby-faced girl currently works for is an Internet company, so she is naturally very familiar with Boss Ma, the founder of Alibaba Company. However, she thinks that her friend works in a traditional enterprise and usually doesn't care much about these things, so she can't help but explain to her. Author:
"At a previous Internet conference, I heard our boss talk about Boss Ma. It is said that if his Alibaba company goes public, his net worth will exceed 10 billion..."
"ah?!"
Although an ordinary person has no intuitive understanding of such astronomical figures, the impact he receives when he sees a super rich man with a net worth of tens of billions is still huge.
"But it seems that Majek respects that foreigner..."
The baby-faced girl looked over there from a distance and felt the same way:
"I have to take pictures..."
As she said that, she took out her Honor Mate 6S mobile phone. Just when she pointed the camera of her phone there, a tall and burly figure stood in front of her...
…
"Aren't you going to walk any more? Your Highness the Duke."
"I'm afraid I can't take a walk like an ordinary person like this..."
Barron gestured to Boss Ma to the numerous security personnel around them, shrugged, and said helplessly:
"It's better not to cause any trouble to them."
At this time, a convoy consisting of Land Rover Defender and Bentley Yazhi had stopped at the roadside...
"We will continue to maintain close cooperation with Alibaba, just as we have done before in our cloud computing business."
Barron was talking to Boss Ma, and the elegant and intellectual Dalulla Riley had already opened the car door for him.
At this time, a dispute not far away caught Barron's attention.
When he looked there, he was eye-to-eye with a tall and beautiful woman.
Barron was stunned for a moment, then called over his security chief, Ryan Wilson, and after asking the reason, he ordered:
"It's just a small matter. Don't embarrass them. Well, let's also say something to the people in China."
…
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding. I just hope you didn't take a picture of my boss..."
At the beginning, a bodyguard from Barron's security team stopped the baby-faced girl from taking photos, and asked in English to see her photo album to avoid being photographed.
It's just that the other party didn't understand it at first, so it looked like there was an argument. Ryan Wilson had lived with his father in HK for a period of time when he was a child, so he knew some Chinese. After he joined, he The matter was quickly calmed down.
After everyone left and the convoy full of luxury cars drove away, the baby-faced girl stuck out her tongue and discussed with her friends who those people were. They looked like big shots in TV series...
"Please wait a moment..."
At this time, two Chinese men in suits stopped the two girls. One of them, a middle-aged man who looked very calm, took out his ID from his pocket, showed it to the two, and said:
"Sorry, we need to check your phone and hope it can cooperate with us..."
Seeing the ID of the mysterious department, the two of them were even more surprised and confused. Fortunately, the other party's attitude was very kind. After seeing that there were no relevant photos in the Mate 6S, they let them go.
"Oh my god..."
The baby-faced girl took a deep breath and said to her friend:
"That foreigner can't really be a prince of any country..."
The tall girl next to her couldn't help but recall that when she looked at the handsome foreigner just now, she seemed to feel a sense of... familiarity in his eyes?
…
Sitting in the elegant back seat of the Bentley, Barron turned his head and glanced at the two girls. He began to retreat as the night street scene of the Magic City outside the car window seemed like a world away.
Yes, the girl named "Xin Ai" had a story in his previous life.
At that time, Barron had just come to Shanghai to work hard and rented an old house not far from here.
At that time, he was still confused about the future. He once walked side by side with the other person on this street, and in the previous noodle shop, the two of them ate noodles and thought about the future.
He did not lie to Boss Ma. He had indeed eaten such noodles before, but in his previous life, when he was "18 years old and standing like a minions."
"Your Highness the Duke, we are here..."
The soft words of Dalula Riley beside him brought Barron back from his brief memories.
Cavendish Garden is the "Yan Family Garden" that Barron originally bought in Shanghai. Fan Bingbing and his children are waiting for him here.
…
"Madam, after the market opened today, GSK's stock price continued to fall, and our short position on this company has exceeded 1 billion pounds..."
"Continue to increase the position. They will be very embarrassed this time, and it is also an opportunity for us."
In London, Daisy, as the CEO of DS Group, began to issue orders one after another.
The GSK she refers to refers to GlaxoSmithKline, the largest pharmaceutical company in the UK. This company is also a global pharmaceutical company. It was established in December 2000 through the merger of Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKline Beecham. become.

After this, the U.S. Department of Justice also announced that it would investigate GlaxoSmithKline's global transnational bribery, and the British side soon announced that it would investigate this together with the United States...
After these things happened, GlaxoSmithKline's stock price immediately began to plummet. So far, their stock price has fallen by more than 30% compared to before!
