Mission Flow
Chapter 191 Circles and Discussions
The Lobby Lounge of Pudong Shangri-La Hotel is located in the Pujiang Building of the hotel. It has large floor-to-ceiling windows and can overlook the stunning scenery of Binjiang Avenue and the Bund. It is suitable for meeting friends or drinking afternoon tea.
It was about three o'clock in the afternoon when Leng Yutong and Zheng Qirong arrived. When the two arrived, Cao Su was having afternoon tea with Song Jingying.
A pot of tea, some light snacks, accompanied by beautiful women, enjoying the beauty of Sheng Beach in the deep winter, this is a rare enjoyment in the afternoon.
Because Cao Su asked Zheng Qirong to drink a glass of wine, Song Jingying took the initiative to ask for a bottle of champagne. Tang Perignon King, 1996 collector's edition, priced at 8818 yuan.
Cao Su was not in a hurry to ask about the most expensive and best villas in Shanghai. In fact, he had seen Tangchen Yipin, Sandalwood Palace, Dongjiao No. 1, and Jiujiantang in the past few days. Instead, he pointed curiously at the glamorous and tall Leng Yutong opposite the small round table, and asked, "Xiao Zheng, why do you call her Miss Fourth? She looks like the old society."
Leng Yutong and Cao Su were familiar with each other now, and they rolled their eyes at his words without hesitation, but they didn't explain, but took a sip of champagne. In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the temperature is a bit low.
Zheng Qirong carefully considered his words, and said cautiously: "Mr. Cao, let me say a few words boldly. What I said is wrong, you criticize me.
After undergoing social turmoil and drastic changes, the national wealth has now accumulated to a certain level, especially in ports, portals, and financial centers like Shanghai, where some old customs are slowly recovering. This is the law of history.
The new Roman Empire like the United States has also spawned large and small financial groups and political families after two hundred years. And we have a family tradition since ancient times, we pay attention to loyalty, ethics and morality, and are deeply influenced by Confucian culture.
Miss Si is the granddaughter of Leng Lao. The Yuefan Group has been involved in many fields in China and has strong strength. Our old man's construction company survives by contracting the construction business of Fei Fei Real Estate, a real estate group affiliated to Yuefan Group.
This is equivalent to the dependency relationship of ancient aristocratic and wealthy families. That's why when I saw Fourth Miss face to face, I would call her that. "
Leng Yutong corrected: "Mr. Cao, I don't like this name." Maybe some people think this kind of name is very reminiscent of the Republic of China, but she actually doesn't want to be called like this. She acted as if she was a "Miss" from a wealthy family. She is not rare! There are a lot of dirty things in the mansion of a wealthy family.
Zheng Qirong smiled mischievously.
Cao Su was noncommittal, sipping champagne.
According to his philosophy, this is very suitable for Mr. Lu Xun's criticism: when you are a slave, you have a sense of superiority.
But after all, he is thirty years old and has a certain social experience. There is a saying these days: money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat!
Some people are willing to give money to make ducks. If they just servilely say a few "retro" good words to make Party A happy, then they can receive the project. What can you say about him? There are many such people in society. It's all about living!
It's just that such a life, you must not let your children experience it! Isn't it glorious and proud to lick people servilely?
"The United States now calls itself the City on the Hill, the Promised Land, and the Lighthouse. I know that. They all call themselves New Rome now? Isn't the Eastern Roman orthodoxy of the Byzantine Empire in Russia? Western Rome has long since disappeared."
During his years of studying, apart from professional knowledge, military affairs and history that boys like, what he thinks most about is making money. He has not read many books and articles on modern and contemporary international politics.
Zheng Qirong said: "Mr. Cao, this does not refer to the historical heritage, but to the current power of the United States! They are at the height of their power, calling themselves the new Rome!"
Cao Su's negative opinion of the twenty-six-year-old "Little Zheng" was slightly lessened. This person is still a little level. It's not just about helping out, licking dogs, and slaves.
Leng Yutong crossed a pair of beautiful legs, looking very relaxed, holding a glass champagne glass, said: "This is just an external feature. The real reason why they call themselves New Rome is their hegemony method!"
"Oh?" Cao Su was very interested in this, and asked curiously, "Yu Tong, didn't you study media?"
Leng Yutong laughed and reminded: "Mr. Cao, the hegemony of public opinion is one of the global hegemony of the United States!
The Roman Empire was strong at the time, turned the Mediterranean Sea into the inland sea of the empire, and adopted an alliance system for the conquered small countries.
For example, Rome conquered country A and concluded a contract with country A, stipulating the political and military obligations of country A. Once Rome sends troops, country A will send servants. Has the United States inherited this point? However, any wars are fought with the younger brother. Like Afghanistan.
Then, Rome conquered country B again, and then concluded a treaty with country B, agreeing on the obligations of country B. Pay attention to the operation mode of Rome. Under the same alliance system, country A and country B are not allies, but there will be conflicts! This is more convenient for Roman rule! You observe the operation of the United States in today's world, is this the way of thinking?
Then there is layering.
Within the Roman Empire, the major regions and alliances were stratified. If you look at the United States, countries around the world are also stratified.
The core is the Five Eyes Alliance, which is Angsa of the same origin. Then there is the Western world: old Europe + Japan and South Korea. Further outwards are neutral countries, further outwards are rival countries, and so on.
Under this system of alliances and divisions, the Roman Empire is the place that all conquered small princes and nobles yearn for, and North America is also the place where global talents and rich people yearn for. The reason is interlinked!
And the organizational structure of this empire is completely different from our tributary system. "
Cao Su nodded, took a sip of wine, this field is quite interesting, and said: "Jingying, you can look back and find some books about it for me to read."
Today's conversation roughly made him understand two things. First, the world is not a pyramid. Rather, it is similar to a fountain, with inner and outer circles, and the central area inside is safe, rich, comfortable and so on.
Second, aristocratic families exist! This thing is independent of human will. Who doesn't want to pass power and wealth to the next generation? It’s just that modern society is not as exaggerated as the clans of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Guanlong nobles of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the seven surnames and ten families.
"Yes." Song Jingying agreed.
Cao Su smiled again and said, "Yutong, your level is good enough to be my assistant!"
Leng Yutong smiled slightly when Cao Su praised her, but she didn't show arrogance. How proud is she in front of an entrepreneur who is about to build a unicorn company in one and a half years? You can only know how dazzling this achievement is if you have done business! Only then did I know how convincing Mr. Cao's talent is.
She couldn't help but recall the conversations between her parents and her who lived at home these two days. The meaning behind the words was asking about her relationship with Cao Su. Blind people know that her assistant position with an annual salary of two million is not normal. And she is beautiful!
What her parents meant was that depending on how the relationship between her and Mr. Cao was developing, the family could put pressure on Mr. Cao to marry her.
Nonsense. She likes women.
Cao Su brought the topic back, and said to Zheng Qirong, "I plan to buy a house in Shanghai to live in. I hope it will be comfortable. The budget is around 50 million US dollars. Do you have any recommendations?"
Zheng Qirong pondered for a while, and asked: "Mr. Cao, if you live by yourself, do you want to live in a larger villa, or a small house with a garden with history?"
"Anything is fine. My request is to live comfortably."
Zheng Qirong said again: "Then do you want to be low-key or high-profile? The luxury villa with the highest unit price in Shanghai is Tangong! But Tangong only has a dozen villas, and basically everyone knows where they live. This is high-profile. There are a lot of stars like Gubei No. 1.
The low-key thing is to live in a place that is not very familiar with the Internet but is actually very comfortable. The real best place in Shanghai is the area where Kangban is the center and radiates outward. "
Cao Su didn't understand the meaning of "Kangban" at all, and said in surprise, "Isn't Tangchen Yipin quite famous in this community?"
