Chapter 2531: Received 1.2 Billion Pounds
Feng Yiping put the teacup on the table, stretched out, hugged Huang Jingping from behind, and kissed her on the head, "I'm leaving."
"Ah, are you in such a hurry?" Huang Jingping turned around and asked.
She just spent more than ten minutes walking roughly in a circle from upstairs to downstairs.
Feng Yiping just washed his face, changed his clothes, and then sat here and drank a cup of hot tea.
For him, having a house here (to be precise, renting a house from the British royal family, but the lease is for 125 years) is indeed more comfortable than living in a hotel, but that's about it.
It's hard for him to call this place home.
But Huang Jingping was different. She had never been very interested in shiny things like diamonds and jewelry, but she was quite interested in having another luxury house.
It was her first time here, and she was very excited to have such a top-notch mansion here. At this time, she was standing in front of the window with some unsatisfied feelings, looking at this most expensive neighborhood in London.
"Yes, Li Ruiyuan kept asking me to go and have a look,"
Feng Yiping has always wanted to visit Li Ruiyuan. This was the highlight of his choice to come to the UK at a time like this.
"Aren't you going to talk to the housekeepers?" Huang Jingping asked.
"Of course you make the decision in such a matter," Feng Yiping said with a smile, "I'm leaving."
"Where's lunch? Don't you want to eat it at home?" Huang Jingping asked.
"Call me then." Feng Yiping knew that the reason why Huang Jingping asked this was because she felt a little uncomfortable after entering such a new environment.
And this is the one place where they have the most service staff of all the places they have stayed.
But he really didn't have time to spend time with her right now.
"How about you come with me?" he asked.
"That's it," Huang Jingping thought for a moment, "still can't do it."
Although it has been re-decorated, she feels that according to Feng Yiping's habits, some places still need to be adjusted.
"I'm waiting for your call,"
Feng Yiping waved to her and nodded to Ham and Owen, who were playing billiards on the pool table outside, "Let's go."
They are on the fourth floor of the house.
This fourth floor is actually only half a floor. The front half is a large balcony, and because it has the widest view, the main function of this floor, besides Feng Yiping's study, is leisure.
…………
Feng Yiping's important destination in London this time is not ARM in Cambridge. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have not made any major progress in that area recently.
However, in the face of Feng Yiping's concerns, the two families have once again guaranteed that they will complete Feng Yiping's commission.
The main destination of his trip to London is the City of London.
In London, this is a very easy place to find. You only need to stand in a relatively empty place, such as the Thames River, and look around, and you can find it immediately.
Because the City of London is the place with the most tall buildings and the densest density in London.
Because of its size, it is also known as "the richest square mile in the world".
In addition to almost all international banks and financial institutions having offices or branches here, more than one-third of the Fortune 500 companies currently have their European headquarters here.
In this square mile, two-thirds of the world's top law firms are concentrated.
It is also the world's largest foreign exchange trading market and has created one-tenth of the jobs in London, the British capital...
However, unlike Manhattan and our Lujiazui, two financial centers that were formed in the process of urban development, more than 800 years ago, the City of London was London.
In other words, London developed on the basis of the City of London, not the other way around.
The Range Rover drove eastward along the Thames River. After passing the dragon statue holding the cross shield of St. George (the boundary symbol of the Financial City), it entered this place that has always been completely different from other places in London.
White-collar workers in suits and ties were walking in a hurry, holding either a cup of coffee, a tuna sandwich, or an electronic cigarette in their hands, shuttling between modern high-rise buildings with large glass curtain walls. Finally, there was something familiar to Feng Yiping. atmosphere.
Two cars stopped in front of a building in the Financial City. A young man in a suit and a capable black-haired girl came over immediately. "Mr. Feng," the two men stood respectfully beside the car and explained. , "Li is currently handling important transactions..."
"I know, thank you." Feng Yiping, who was here for the first time, looked around briefly, glanced at the impressive "little cucumber", and then led the two employees toward the elevator room. Walk.
When he arrived at the airport, he received a call from Li Ruiyuan, explaining that the company had a very important transaction today and he could not go to the airport to greet him in person.
Just now in Kensington, he received another call from Li Ruiyuan, asking Feng Yiping if he could get to the company as soon as possible. Therefore, he was actually very curious about what Li Ruiyuan was busy with now.
But there was one thing he was extremely sure of, Li Ruiyuan would definitely give him a big surprise today.
You can hear it in his voice.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped onto the floor where his company was located, he was in front of the door of a large office on the innermost left. He glanced at the room and at Li Ruiyuan on the elevator side. When he saw him, his face changed. Shang was immediately overjoyed, "Mr. Feng," he shouted and ran over.
Feng Yiping believed that even in this most modern place in London, there must not be many people who shouted like him in the office.
He was so excited that he lost himself.
But his shouting immediately attracted everyone's attention. There were not many people in the office area, but those who were busy couldn't help but look over here, and then many people stood up excitedly.
Then, many people stretched out their hands, "Mr. Feng," "Mr. Feng,"
Everyone wanted to shake hands with Feng Yiping and have close contact with their legendary boss.
"Hello," "Hello," Feng Yiping greeted them cordially. At this time, Li Ruiyuan squeezed over, "No, not now," he said loudly to the employees around him.
Then he pulled Feng Yiping inside without saying anything, "Mr. Feng, you are finally here,"
He looked more excited than Huang Jingping who saw the mansion on Kensington Garden Street. He seemed to be steaming, and even his nose was red.
The coat was thrown somewhere, the sleeves were rolled up, and the tie was torn crooked.
You know, the temperature in London today is only about 11 or 12 degrees, and the heating in the office is not hot enough for people to take off their coats and wear only shirts.
"So, the market is good today?" Feng Yiping asked with a smile.
At this time, they have come to the big office at the innermost.
To be precise, this is a big operation room, with rows of computers sitting in front of employees who are working hard.
Feng Yiping felt that the temperature seemed to rise several degrees suddenly as soon as he entered here.
The employees in front of the computers were obviously very busy at this time, so they might not have heard the noise outside before, or they had no time to pay attention to the noise before.
At this time, Feng Yiping came in, and there were not many people who looked up.
"More than good," Li Ruiyuan said excitedly, "It's simply great!"
"Do you know, Mr. Feng, just now, the price of crude oil has rushed to nearly $110 per barrel,"
"The situation is really different when you come,"
"110 dollars?" Feng Yiping was also stunned, and then ecstatic.
You know, although on the first trading day of this year, January 2, due to the continued turmoil in Nigeria, a major oil-producing country in Africa, the international market crude oil price broke through the $100 per barrel mark for the first time, but it did not continue to rise afterwards, and even had a correction.
Recently, it often hovered between more than 90 and just over 100. Why did it suddenly soar to 110 today?
In the futures market, a 10% increase, the resulting benefits, is really a number that will make people laugh.
But he doesn't want to pay attention to why this happened now, he just wants to know how much he has gained today.
"How much did we get into the account today?" he asked.
"Hehe," Li Ruiyuan looked at the computer, "As of now, our income today is not much, only 1.2 billion pounds!"
