Rebirth of England
Chapter 598 Breakup
"I'm not asking for too much, but you need to at least give me more company, Barron."
Seeing Amanda looking a little angry, Barron shook his head and said:
"I will try my best to spend time with you, baby, but you should know that I'm too busy, and..."
"And there are too many women who need company, right?"
Amanda Hearst looked at him straight, with anger on her face and said:
"I think we should consider whether we should stay together."
Seeing the girl leave, Barron did not keep her.
He knew that Amanda was different from others. She was born in the Hearst family, a once glorious media family, and was one of the heirs of the family.
Although the Hearst family is now far behind Barron, at least as the heir of the family, Amanda also has her pride - although Ivanta also came from a wealthy family, the difference between the two is that Ivanta is more ambitious in career. The relationship between her and Barron is not only emotional, but also includes the connection between the interests of the two.
Just like in Barron's previous life, Ivanta was able to choose a Jewish family marriage that was more beneficial to the family. Now, facing Barron, the Duke of England, who is much more powerful, even if there is no formal marriage, Ivanta can still make a firm choice - she is a rational person.
And Amanda is with Barron, it can be said that it is entirely because of her admiration for Barron. She herself does not have much career ambition. Choosing Barron is more of a girl's fascination with Prince Charming.
In fact, Barron is very surprised that Amanda can persist until now. After all, although Barron often comes to America, he still spends most of his time in London.
And even if he comes to America, Barron can't say that he will give all his time to Amanda. There are also Ivanta and Rebecca who need to share his time.
In public, Barron has a wife, and he and Amanda certainly can't have an open relationship, and Amanda can't often go to London to meet Barron.
Therefore, it can be said that since the two have been together for so long, the time they can really spend together is only a few months in total.
If the initial feelings are passionate, like a raging fire, and a bit blind, then after so long, Amanda needs to consider the future of the two more.
Unless Barron can divorce Bonnie and choose to be with Amanda...
But is this possible?
Let alone Bonnie is pregnant again, and in terms of the depth of feelings, Bonnie, who has been with Barron for a long time, will have a deeper position in Barron's heart.
In addition to Amanda, there are women such as Ivanta, Tamaran, Miss Ella and Beatrice. Even if Barron really divorces...
Well, let's put it this way. Under the current circumstances, if Barron divorces, the consequences may be more chaotic.
Because at least now these women can still accept the fact that Barron has married Bonnie. If Barron divorces and becomes single again, who will he marry next?
Believe me, no matter which one he chooses, the harm caused to other women will be more serious than it is now!
Now Amanda said she wanted to break up with Barron. Whether she was angry or made a decision after careful consideration, Barron could not immediately get her back.
He could only try to talk to the girl after both of them calmed down a little. If he still couldn't win her back through sweet words at that time...
Then it can only be said that the girl has made the final decision, and the two can only separate.
After living a new life, Barron has been more open-minded about this. Amanda is different from ordinary girls. When she was still young, the two of them might be able to overcome some obstacles because of their feelings for each other, but unless she never married, how could she stay with him without a name?
And speaking of it, Barron asked himself, his feelings for Amanda are not too deep. The two of them are together, more of a physical attraction. Even so, objectively speaking, Amanda's appearance and figure are not the best among his women... Her family background adds a lot of points to her, but for Barron now, this aura is not a decisive factor for him.
"Lydia, yes, Amanda just left me, we have some conflicts..."
After thinking for a moment, Barron answered Lydia Hearst's phone call.
This time Amanda came here without her cousin Lydia. Lydia was also very surprised when she heard that Amanda decided to break up with Barron.
"I can understand her thoughts. After all, Barron, we also need company a lot of times..."
"Sorry, Lydia."
Hearing the loneliness and sadness in Barron's tone on the phone, Lydia's "empathy" for her cousin softened immediately. She said softly:
"Don't be like this, dear, I will go to Amanda and talk to her later. In addition, I also want to see you..."
...
"Your Highness, this is Costco's information. The current stock price of this company is around US$70, and the market value is about US$31 billion, which is 32% higher than the same period last year..."
The information that Zhang Junning handed to Barron was about Costco. Costco was founded in 1983, when the United States was in a serious stagflation period, with high unemployment and inflation.
Consumers in this era were price-sensitive, and low-priced and high-quality goods were the shopping demands of consumers in the early 1980s.
Costco successfully stood out in the global retail competition by using a profit model that earned price differences, which was different from traditional retailers, and a business model that pursued long-term membership growth.
In Costco, the display of goods is different from that of ordinary supermarkets, but is somewhat similar to wholesale markets, and their users are also accustomed to driving to buy Costco's cost-effective goods in whole packages and boxes. It doesn't look like shopping, but more like purchasing.
It is also worth mentioning that Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has also purchased a lot of Costco stocks. Interestingly, Costco is also a stock that Munger strongly recommended to Buffett. Berkshire Hathaway has started to buy Costco stocks since 2000.
Prior to this, Costco had become the fifth largest retailer in the United States and the eighth largest retailer in the world, with 53.5 million members worldwide and eight stores in Asia.
The reason why Barron was impressed by Costco was mainly because it was a company that Buffett once "heavily invested" in, and there were many reports about it.
From what he learned in his previous life, Barron knew that after the financial crisis, due to the impact of the economic downturn on the decline in consumer confidence, the growth of traditional retailers such as Walmart and Target declined, but Costco developed well against the trend.
From 2008 to 2015, Walmart's compound annual growth rate dropped to 2.5%, while Costco was still able to maintain a compound annual growth rate of more than 7%. In the eyes of investors, Costco's performance is completely comparable to Amazon.
