Chapter 567
When wealth reaches a certain level, the meaning of money has reached its apex. The increase of money alone cannot increase this personal influence.
At this time, wealth began to seek to transform into a stronger force, that is, a stronger influence than wealth, a higher and more powerful force than wealth, that is power.
Just like the rich in ancient times, even if the rich is inferior to the enemy's country, if there is no protection of power, the family can be ransacked in an instant. Just like the Ming Dynasty in ancient times, the Ming Dynasty was too rich, and the emperor quarreled and destroyed the door. In the Western Jin Dynasty, Shi Chong offended the nobles and was destroyed by the three clans.
The power of power is naturally higher than wealth, and the power to control life and death is equivalent to wealth that is ten million times this.
Of course, wealth also has its own advantages, wealth comes more peacefully, wealth can be created, but power can only come from harm.
Wealth can make others prosper and bring a better life to the world, but power is indeed guaranteed by hurting and coercing others. Abusing violence and power can only bring about a broken world.
So at this time, George is still collecting wealth, just like collecting potential purchasing power and potential influence. But these games, for him, are more like a monopoly's collecting game, and they won't be his real most important thing.
Slowly watching the traffic and the constant flow of people along the way.
In the evening, there was a intensive flow of traffic and people, and there was a slight blockage on the road. Fortunately, there was no real traffic jam. Under the orderly arrangement, the cars were moving forward without delay.
After coming out of the airport, the car slowly reached the Peninsula Hotel and stopped in front of the hotel.
The car had just stopped. At this time, the doorman of the hotel had opened the door and respectfully invited them to get off.
George got out of the car and quietly looked at this hotel with a strong atmosphere of the times.
The Peninsula Hotel is the oldest five-star international hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It is located at 22 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, facing Victoria Harbour. It is one of the most famous hotels in the world.
This hotel, first opened on December 11, 1928, has experienced many turbulences and has continued to this day, with a lot of history.
Guided by the doorman into the hotel, Li Youran walked in with George and explained, "Our room is on the 26th floor, two rooms next to each other on the left. During Mr. George's time in Hong Kong , Xu Lele and I will accompany you in your activities in Hong Kong."
She led George up the 26th floor and stopped in front of the two doors on the left corner. Xu Lele took a step forward and swiped the doors of the two rooms with his card.
George chose one at random and walked in. The room was large, spacious, clean and tidy. It looked like the well-arranged furnishings, which made people feel warm.
"It's pretty good, my bedroom at home is actually not big. After all, I usually stay in the bedroom only when I sleep." George said briefly while looking at the bedroom. Of course he didn't say that although his bedroom is not big, his laboratory is big.
He walked to the balcony, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said relaxedly, "The sea view is also not bad."
"London should be able to see the Thames. I don't know if it is very different from Victoria Harbour." Xu Lele asked curiously. Having a sea view room with Victoria Harbour has always been a family dream of Hong Kong people.
"Haha, I haven't noticed this." George smiled and said relaxedly, "When I fly over, I usually pass by. Sometimes when the stars gather in the sea at night, It will be very beautiful." Of course, he didn't fly by by plane.
"Does Mr. George need to take a break first? The 28th floor is the e1ix restaurant, where the viewing glass can be surrounded by 36o, and you can enjoy the night view of Victoria while eating." Li Youran asked softly.
"Oh, by the way, you guys haven't eaten yet." George then reacted. The two ladies in front of him seemed to be waiting to receive him in advance. They probably haven't eaten until now.
Li Youran nodded, and Xu Lele looked expectant.
"Okay, let's eat first, and we can rest after dinner. I will go to the company tomorrow to take a look. In the afternoon I need information about the auction." George said slowly, walking towards the door.
The e1ix restaurant on the 28th floor has a simple and elegant environment, but the portraits of Philip Stark’s corporate partners and relatives and friends printed on the backs of the chairs are slightly embarrassing.
Compared with the special delicacies cooked by magical means at home, even the craftsmanship of the top chefs seems slightly ordinary. The two girls ate quite happily, and the soothing music of the band players added a bit of flavor to the food When returning to the suite again, George gestured to the two girls , "I'm going to rest. If you need to contact me, please call me. This is the number I just changed in Hong Kong. It can be reached in the past few days."
He sent a text message to Li Youran's cell phone and left his number.
He said mildly to Li Youran, "I already have your number, so if there is anything, I will call you. So you can rest assured first. I'm fine, even if you go out alone. There is nothing wrong with shopping."
Seeing that George had meant to see off the guests, Li Youran immediately said gently, "Then we won't bother you, and I wish you good night."
Leaving George's room and returning to the suite next to him, Xu Lele finally returned to his true colors after seeing the door that had been closed tightly.
Xu Lele flew onto the soft bed, squeezed the pillow vigorously, yelled a few times, and said disappointedly, "Is this over?"
"There is no romantic process. It is simply that the chairman arrived at the hotel and ate a potluck without saying a few words. This is the end?" She looked at her cousin with some disbelief.
Li Youran sat quietly on the sand and said disapprovingly, "Otherwise, what do you think it will be? We are employees. You are a bit professional. Don't see the chairman tall and handsome, just think about it."
She was very satisfied with this trip. As she knew from the beginning, the chairman of the board was very nice and easy to get along with. At this meeting, she found that although George didn't speak much and was a little serious, he was gentle and gentlemanly.
It is not difficult to come to this task, and it is enough to make her happy to complete the task smoothly.
To be continued.
