Chapter 2678 The Strong Mirabelle
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Yang Dongxu, who originally planned to deal with the accumulated work in his hands and go home for the Lantern Festival in two days, took his private plane to Hong Kong in the afternoon of the tenth day.
Yang Dongxu felt a little emotional when he came to Hong Kong again. After all, the four Asian tigers that were once in their heyday always give people a sense of depression today.
Although this is still one of the international financial centers, a large part of the business of this financial center is now one of the ports for foreign finance in the mainland. The prosperous surface cannot cover up the fact that it has been surpassed by the mainland.
To be honest, when I came to Hong Kong before, although Yang Dongxu was an experienced person who was accustomed to the prosperity of the metropolis in the future, he still had a beautiful filter for Hong Kong.
After all, the Hong Kong movies in the last life, the various electronic products and clothing in Hong Kong in the early days of reform, and the various successful people in Hong Kong always gave people a very high-end feeling.
Not only in the past, even now, many mainlanders who come to Hong Kong have the yearning and excitement of people from backward areas going to the high-end United States.
This was the inferiority complex of living in poverty during that period of time, and of course there was also the fact that other people were indeed well-off. But now the filter is undoubtedly broken.
Or when he first came to Hong Kong, when he learned that the streets that the gangsters fought over every day were not as big as the streets in his own town, the filter was actually broken.
Although the streets occupied by the gangsters were definitely more profitable than the streets in his own town, the area of this territory always gave people a sense of pettiness.
Moreover, it was just a tiny piece of territory, and several head gangs in the gangsters fought for life and death. Knowing this, you always have an indescribable sense of weirdness when you watch the gangsters again.
And now Hong Kong is not only that the gangsters’ territory is so small for Yang Dongxu, but also the money earned from occupying the territory is also a drop in the bucket for him.
In addition, all the movie stars that he admired in his previous life now respectfully and cautiously call him Mr. Yang. The so-called richest man in Asia is actually not as amazing as he boasted, but more because of a certain pattern.
He can't say he is disappointed with Hong Kong, but he no longer has the yearning and admiration he had before, so even though he bought Hedong Garden and decorated it luxuriously, he came to Hong Kong less and less often.
And such a broken filter is actually one of the main reasons for Hong Kong's decline. The reason why Hong Kong was so prosperous in the past was not only because of its special geographical location and international factors.
More importantly, many mainlanders yearn for Hong Kong, and many talented and capable mainlanders have come to Hong Kong in various ways, injecting a strong impetus into Hong Kong's development.
If nothing else, just look at the directors, behind-the-scenes staff and big stars in Hong Kong's once glorious film market. If you look back, most of them are from the mainland, not to mention that their grandfathers are from the mainland, but their parents are from the mainland, or they themselves are from the mainland.
There are very few Hong Kong people who are truly born and raised and have made a name for themselves, so a considerable part of the reason for Hong Kong's former glory is the siphon effect, and the object of suction is naturally the mainland.
Now that the mainland has developed, many people feel that Hong Kong is just so-so after coming here. It is not as prosperous as the big cities like Yanjing and Shanghai. Many people can do business and make money in the mainland without having to sneak into Hong Kong to work.
Over time, Hong Kong is doomed to decline because it cannot attract more talented people from the mainland. After all, with the area and population of Hong Kong, it is basically impossible to maintain its former glory by itself.
In fact, it is not just Hong Kong. For example, the coastal cities that were at the forefront of reform and opening up in the past would not have developed so prosperously if there were not countless mainlanders working there, or Shanghai and Yanjing now, if they had not siphoned talents from other places.
So many times, the general trend can be seen, but it depends on whether you can understand it. Yang Dongxu has undoubtedly understood some of it now, so he gave up the industry in the United States so decisively, which made Jack and the Morgan Consortium crazy.
Of course, giving up is a matter of giving up. Giving up does not mean giving it away for free, so he used the things he decided to give up to exchange for some things he wanted, which was also the purpose of his visit to Hong Kong this time.
After the plane landed, Yang Dongxu did not go to Hedong Garden to live, but took a car to Xinghai Hotel. Compared with the home he had not lived in for a long time, the security and privacy of Xinghai Hotel were undoubtedly higher than that.
Not long after he moved into the presidential suite, Yang Dongxu took Zhang Jing to the reception room. A few minutes later, Du Heng led a blonde beauty in.
"Hello, Mr. Yang."
"Hello, Miss Mirabelle, your Chinese is getting better and better." Yang Dongxu stood up to greet and shook hands with the other party with a smile.
Little Jack and the Morgan Consortium have been digging deep into how Yang Dongxu and the Mellon Consortium reached a deal recently. Why was there no wind or sign before?
The reason why the two sides were able to reach a secret deal was naturally because of Mirabelle, who had faded out of the competition for the successor of the Mellon Group and almost died of anorexia.
A consortium lady who was dying and destined to lose her heir qualification would naturally fade out of most people's sight, and seeking medical treatment all over the world to survive was very normal and nothing strange in the eyes of others.
But it was this person who had been ignored that facilitated the deal that made Little Jack and the Morgan Group grit their teeth.
"Really? It seems that Bai Shu is a competent Chinese teacher." Mirabelle said with a smile.
But behind this seemingly happy and uncomplicated smile, she and Bai Shu have broken up. It's true that the two were together before, but they broke up more than a year ago.
The reason for the breakup has nothing to do with Bai Shu's unwillingness to live in the United States, but has a direct relationship with the two people's personalities, backgrounds, and pursuits.
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
The ancestors often said that the family is well matched is not a feudal idea, there are many philosophical truths in it.
For example, Mirabelle and Bai Shu, when Mirabelle was about to die of anorexia, Bai Shu became her life-saving straw, so Mirabelle felt that Bai Shu was everything to her.
But when she recovered, the personalities and values formed by the two since childhood began to impact each other. For example, Mirabelle was ambitious and wanted to be the boss of the Mellon Group, and then become one of the few people who were high above.
Bai Shu, you are just a person who studies medicine, and you have no interest in making a lot of money, using the money to build a network of relationships and become a powerful person.
But at least he doesn't want to have other thoughts and intentions when treating patients and saving people, so when the halo of saving lives fades, Mirabelle's feelings naturally fade with it.
On Bai Shu's side, when a person who was once glad that he could save her gradually became a queen, and wanted him to become the shape that the queen wanted, he could not accept this kind of life, so he could only part ways with the queen. So the two of them broke up naturally.
After a few greetings and both parties sat down, Mirabelle said: "Time is tight, and my schedule is still confidential, so I won't say anything extra.
The reason why I have to meet you in Hong Kong this time is because after the Morgan Consortium put out some chips, the Mellon Consortium had some differences, and part of Google's shares will be transferred to the Morgan Consortium."
Milabelle's tone was very calm, and her expression was not aggressive at all. But these seemingly calm words were actually notifications rather than discussions, which shows how strong this woman is.
