Chapter 879 I’ve fallen asleep
Women all over the world love Milan the most. After arriving in Milan, the place they want to go to the most is Via Napoleon.
This street has nothing to do with Napoleon, but it has all the luxury stores in the world.
Although it is ridiculously expensive for ordinary people, for Xu Liang, it is just drizzle.
Looking at Mo Hongzhuang, she looked like a butterfly in a flower, walking around in store after store.
Xu Liang couldn't help but said: "You don't want to buy two pieces?"
Mo Hongzhuang shook her head, "No, all luxury goods are IQ tax, I want to keep the money to start a business."
Xu Liang said with interest: "I can pay you."
Mo Hongzhuang smiled and stretched out her fair and slender hand in front of Xu Liang.
"Brother-in-law, I did some math and found that the money I spent on luxury goods today is about 200,000 pounds. Why don't you pay me directly?"
Xu Liang laughed dumbly.
“You are good at calculating.”
“Hehe, my dad often teaches me that if you want to be a successful businessman, you must be able to calculate accounts.”
“ My father-in-law is a smart man.”
“My dad admires you very much, saying that you are a rare business genius.” As he said this, he came over and hugged Xu Liang’s right arm, his plump hands. Maru came up closely, with temptation in his words, "When I return to London, I will take you to see him?"
Of course Xu Liang knew her little thoughts.
But I have already slept, and I really should give an explanation.
It’s just money.
He is not lacking.
“Okay, just look at the arrangements.”
Mo Hongzhuang beamed, "Brother-in-law, you are so nice."
"Are you still shopping?"
"Of course."
Mo Hongzhuang pulled him into the store next to him. Armani fashion store.
A beautiful female clerk wearing a ladies' lapel suit, silver-gray one-step skirt and black stockings came up quickly.
"Sir, Madam, welcome to Armani."
Mo Hongzhuang nodded slightly, glanced at her, let go of Xu Liang's arm, and walked towards the men's clothing area.
He quickly came over with a blue and white T-shirt and khaki trousers.
"Brother-in-law, try it."
Looking at her expectant expression, Xu Liang didn't bother her and took it to the dressing room next to it.
After replacing it.
Mo Hongzhuang praised: "Brother-in-law, you are really a natural dresser. You look so handsome in this outfit."
The waiter next to him who had not spoken a word also complimented.
"Sir, this dress suits your temperament very well. Standing together with your lover, you will be the most enviable couple in Milan."
She didn't understand Mo Hongzhuang. of Mandarin.
I didn’t know the meaning of the word ‘brother-in-law’ and thought they were lovers, even though that was the case.
Xu Liang could understand the waiter's English, so he smiled and nodded to her, then turned to look at Mo Hongzhuang.
“Why did you buy it for me if you didn’t buy it yourself?”
“My mother said that it is the wife’s responsibility to make her men look good and handsome.
I am the wife of my brother-in-law, so of course I have to buy you clothes and make you look handsome, so that I can be a qualified wife.”
Mo Hongzhuang smiled, with infinite tenderness in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Xu Liangliang felt a little softer.
After smiling and touching her head, he turned back to the dressing room and changed out of his clothes.
"I want this suit, wrap it up."
"Okay, sir. Please wait."
The waiter went to pick up the packaging bag with a beaming face. This was an achievement.
Xu Liang was about to swipe his card, but was stopped by Mo Hongzhuang.
"These are the clothes I bought for my brother-in-law. How can I swipe your card?"
Opened the Kun bag and handed over his bank card.
Xu Liang didn't give in. He just bought a more expensive one and returned it, which didn't cost much.
However, through this incident, he realized more and more how smart the women around him were.
Mo Manniang is aloof and aloof, and pursues a higher realm of painting wholeheartedly.
As a cousin, Mo Hongzhuang is different. Although she is young and has some deficiencies in her wrists, her intelligence and agility have already laid the foundation for her to become a strong woman.
"Brother-in-law, shall we go to dinner?"
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"I don't know, let's go to the Victoria II Arcade and have a look."
The Victoria II Arcade is also called the Victor Emmanuel Arcade.
The overall shape is "ten", 200 meters long from north to south and 100 meters wide from east to west. It was built in 1887.
The top is covered by glass and the floor is paved with marble.
This is the most prosperous area of Milan, where most of the first-class shops are concentrated.
A classic and gorgeous shopping area with many bars and high-end restaurants.
It is most lively when the lanterns are first lit, so it is also called the Emmanuel Night Gallery.
The cloisters are criss-crossed and have mosaics symbolizing the four continents of America, Asia, Africa and Europe.
"Brother-in-law, how beautiful is this place?"
Looking at the exquisite sculptures and unique decorative styles around her, the beauty's eyes were full of admiration.
"This Renaissance style is indeed beautiful, but if you put aside the appearance and look at the essence, it may not be suitable for living here." Xu Liang said with a smile.
"It's enough to look good. I have no intention of living here. But if my brother-in-law likes it, I will live here with you for the rest of my life."
Looking at her charming look, Xu Liang raised his hand and tapped her smooth forehead.
“Why do we come here to suffer when we can’t live in a luxurious manor in London?”
“Hee hee, that’s what I said. Brother-in-law, let’s go to the restaurant in front for dinner?”
Xu Liang looked in the direction of his finger.
The plaque above the doorway reads 'Balder'.
Push the door and go in.
It is a Western restaurant with a very elegant environment.
The two found a seat by the window and sat down.
The bodyguards who came in with the two men were also scattered around.
The waiter came over and handed over the menu.
After spending time with Xu Liang for a long time, Mo Hongzhuang also knew how big his belly was.
I ordered ten fillet steaks directly.
I also ordered a bunch of various meat dishes.
"Brother-in-law, if it's not enough, we'll add more."
Xu Liang nodded with a smile, picked up the knife and fork, and was about to eat.
Melodious singing came from a distance.
Subconsciously, I turned around and saw a girl with chestnut hair wearing a red dress performing on the stage not far away.
The gentle voice is like crying and complaining.
"Where the sea shines, the wind blows gently; on an ancient terrace..."
"Brother-in-law, have you heard this song?"
Xu Liang shook his head, " "You know?"
"The song's name is Caruso," Mo Hongzhuang nodded and continued, "The Italian composer Lucio Delano went to the Gulf of Naples for supplies during the voyage.
< br>The exquisite Victoria Hotel where Dai Lan stayed was the place where the singing master Caruso recuperated before his death, and Dai Lan's room was the one where Caruso lived.
During the time in Naples, Dailan stood on the balcony where Caruso stood.
Listen to the hotel owner telling him everything that happened in the hotel before Caruso died. "
Mo Hongzhuang enthusiastically told the story behind the song she knew.
"Caruso is a singer.
In 1897, the composer Puccini was selecting actors to play "The Artist's Life".
Caruso became the leading actor of "The Artist's Life" with his natural voice and proficient skills.
Gradually became a world-famous singer.
In 1920, Caruso performed "Pagliacci" at the Met in New York. Not long after he started singing, he began coughing and vomiting blood, and the audience told him to stop singing.
Finally Caruso fainted.
From then on he left the singing stage and returned to Naples.
Although he could not go on stage, he continued to give vocal lessons to his beloved wife in this hotel.
Because Caruso suffered from pleurisy, he had no voice at that time, but he still worked hard to set an example for her.
On August 2, 1921, this great singing master passed away.
In order to commemorate the singing master Caruso, Dai Lan began to compose the song "Caruso". ”
Looking at Mo Hongzhuang's confused eyes, Xu Liang smiled and shook his head.
Girls like this kind of poignant love story.
But in Xu Liang’s view, how could a man who had been married three times be a lifelong lover?
Separate the phenomenon and look at the essence. This guy named Caruso was just an unlucky singer, and then he happened to be adapted by a talented composer into a phenomenal song, which was passed down to future generations. .
This is the same tune as "Water Margin".
The numerous thieves and bandits in the past dynasties were adapted into heroes who resisted tyranny.
But these so-called heroes kill people and eat human flesh at every turn.
Tsk...
"How do you know this?" Xu Liang asked with a smile.
“The teacher taught me in music class that “Caruso” is very popular and has been sung by many singers.”
The conversation changed.
“I heard from my cousin that my brother-in-law also wrote songs by himself?”
There was a touch of memories on Xu Liang’s face.
“Many years ago.”
It should have been in 2001, when he sang a song called "Ideal" by Zhao Lei at the New Dream annual meeting.
At that time, this song was not very popular.
But as his status became higher and higher, his previous affairs were exposed again and again by the media.
This song became popular inexplicably.
It is also regarded as a divine song by countless entrepreneurs at home and abroad.
"Brother-in-law, you are so talented! Not only are you good at business, your oil painting is top-notch, but you also know music. People admire you."
Xu Liang glanced at her.
“That’s a good flattery, keep going.”
“I hate it, I’m serious.”
The two chatted while eating.
After playing for a day, I returned to the hotel. After closing the door, Mo Hongzhuang pounced on me...
...
In the office, a fat figure was smoking a cigar.
Due to the sitting posture and body, the black suit has wrinkles and becomes ugly.
Facts have proved that whether the clothes are good or not has nothing to do with the price, the key is who wears them.
The slim brown-haired female secretary came over with a cup of coffee.
"Sofia, what time is it?"
"Thirteen minutes to nine o'clock."
The young man sitting opposite said: "Dad, did Xu Liang break the appointment?"
Berlusconi glanced at him, his expression calm.
"Luka, I have always taught you that if you want to be a successful businessman or politician, you must remain calm at all times."
The man named Luca's face changed slightly and he took a deep breath.
“Dad, I know.”
Dong dong….
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
A middle-aged man in a brown suit opened the door and walked in.
"BOOS, Mr. Xu is here."
Berlusconi's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up to greet him.
Xu Liang stepped in.
Looking at the old man walking towards him quickly, he smiled and stretched out his right hand.
"Mr. Berlusconi, it's an honor to meet you."
"It's also an honor for me to meet Mr. Xu."
After a few polite words.
Berlusconi half-turned around and made way for a young man behind him who looked six or seven times similar to him.
“This is my son Luca.”
"Hello Mr. Xu, I personally admire your business talent very much. I hope to have more opportunities to communicate and ask for advice in the future."
"I have long heard that Mr. Berlusconi has a very outstanding son. Today Only when I met Mr. Luca did I know that what he said was true."
A smile appeared on Luca's face.
“Thank you.”
Berlusconi was also very happy that his son could be praised by the world’s top figures.
"Please take a seat."
"Please."
After everyone took their seats, the secretary quickly served tea.
“I heard that Mr. Xu likes to drink tea. I specially ordered the top-quality black tea from China and flew it to Italy. I hope Mr. Xu likes it.”
“Mr. Berlusconi is too Much love.”
Berlusconi made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Liang picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"It leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth, and endless aftertaste. It is indeed a good tea! Thank you for your hospitality."
"Haha, Mr. Xu is my distinguished guest, and it is my responsibility to entertain you well."
The two exchange cups and cups, and after three rounds of tea.
Xu Liang stopped being verbose.
"Mr. Berlusconi, China's economic development is now in full swing, and consortiums around the world are planning to get a share of the pie. I wonder if Feiningwei Group is interested?"
Feiningwei The Stern Group is a consortium founded by Berlusconi from scratch.
Compared with Xu Liang's reliance on memories from his previous life to create his current business empire.
Berlusconi has everything he has now solely by virtue of his talent.
Lao Bei, who comes from a middle-class background, began to deliberately accumulate wealth while in college.
Not only did he form a student band and perform around the world in nightclubs and cruise ships; he also sold vacuum cleaners and ghostwritten homework in the university.
