Although I knew before that Talia had a baby of her own in her belly.

But since she had never actually seen it, it was difficult to have a clear impression. It wasn't until Suri knew the baby's gender in advance and felt the fetal movement through her belly that the intense shock of becoming a father suddenly became real. .

Other parents need to prepare money, prepare an environment suitable for raising their baby, consider how to take care of their baby, and other troublesome issues. In Suri's view, these are not problems.

Talia also has no pressure at all. The little girl in her belly has not yet been born, and the top nanny with rich experience has already begun to take care of them in advance, preparing some prenatal training, nutritious meals, midwifery exercises, etc.

This is tantamount to packing up all the troubles in raising children and leaving them to others. Suri only needs to enjoy being a father comfortably.

After spending tens of millions of pounds to buy this luxurious manor outside London, Suri never came to see it.

Take a walk with Thalia and walk around.

Under a beautiful oak tree that is over 300 years old, there are swings, benches, and stone tables.

Thalia was sitting on a stool to rest, while Suri was busy swinging on the swing. She looked up and saw the sun shining through the oak branches and leaves. I have to say that the British really know how to enjoy everything except food.

Taking a deep breath, Su Rui spoke:

"You should come here to sit more often when you are free. I feel that the oxygen is much richer than other places. I forgot where I read an article. It said that when oak trees perform photosynthesis, they will release a large amount of oxygen, which will help improve the ecology. environment."

"I really like sitting here. I finished reading a copy of "Mrs. Dalloway" nearby last week. To be honest, I quite like Britain. British actors in Hollywood are also very popular. Unfortunately, the British don't seem to like the United States. People, you can hear them laughing at us in the restaurant.”

Thalia just finished speaking.

Suri was lying on the swing and said with a smile: "You are from Hawaii and I am from Chinatown in Los Angeles. What does it have to do with Americans?"

"Hawaiians can understand it, but if you're down to the block, is it really appropriate?"

"Chinatown has different cultural customs from other places. It seems like it's all in Los Angeles, but in fact it's like a small, isolated country called China."

Su Rui changed the topic and continued:
"On the way here just now, I discovered that the small manors on the roadside are quite well built. The secrets of getting rich are indeed written in the "Criminal Code". Before the rise of the United States, no country was better at robbery than the United Kingdom. Regarding this We Chinese, Indians, Africans, and South Americans all have a voice.”

"They even built a British Museum and publicly displayed their stolen goods for a fee. Is there anything more shameless than this?"

"So I have the right to despise the British. Many of them are sanctimonious hypocrites with no honor at all."

Thalia didn't know how to proceed.

Suri turned to look at her, and then said: "Maybe I should make a TV series to describe that period of history from the perspective of an aristocratic manor owner, and tear open their carefully packaged coat."

The first thing that came to his mind was "Downton Abbey."

This drama was extremely popular in his previous life, but Suri only watched two seasons and stopped following it because it was not to his taste.

The scenes of "Downton Abbey" are relatively simple, the shooting budget is not too high, and it is relatively cost-effective.

Thalia was just listening, because she felt that Suri was much smarter than her, and she didn't intend to dictate such matters.

Because her mother Karna is also a native Hawaiian, she has been instilling in her the idea that her homeland has been invaded since she was a child. There are still people who hope to rebuild the Kingdom of Hawaii, so Thalia can deal with Suri's dislike of the British Museum. Easy to understand.

Chat with each other about what’s going on.

Talia's daily life is very simple. When she learned that Suri was going to Silicon Valley to acquire land, she unexpectedly came up with the idea of ​​acquiring Yahoo as a whole. She just felt weird about this and couldn't figure out what the connection was between the two. Thalia was a little tired and came inside to rest.

Although the villa with red brick walls looks quite classic, the interior has just been renovated and looks elegant and comfortable.

Halfway across the world, Suri needed to catch up on jet lag. He had just slept in the master bedroom for three or four hours when he was woken up by secretary Amanda.

With his eyes bleary and his head still feeling like mushy, he heard Secretary Amanda say:
"That Miss Aishwarya Baani just contacted you and told you that your business in India has encountered some troubles. A competitor of his father is causing trouble and trying to initiate anti-monopoly actions against several companies you jointly founded. investigation."

"???"

The classic saying "India makes money, India spends money, and wants to take it home when we leave" suddenly popped up in Suri's mind. He thought that by choosing to cooperate with India's richest man, he would be able to avoid getting into trouble as much as possible, but he didn't expect that he could not do it after all. escaped.

Sure enough, every nickname has a reason behind it, and the "foreign capital cemetery" is not just blown away.

Standing up and leaning on the bed, Su Rui asked, "Tell me carefully, what exactly happened?"

Secretary Amanda replied:

"Last year, you and the Baani family invested in Trident, a mid- to low-end mobile phone manufacturing company in India. In addition, you also incubated projects such as e-commerce, online education, online finance, and social platforms."

"Another family business in India, the Tata Group, seems to be jealous. They made a fuss about the fact that Trident mobile phones were equipped with these software products before leaving the factory. They directly launched an antitrust investigation and sued for a fine of US$35 billion."

"Miss Aishwarya Baani has just received news. It is said that she may have rejected a marriage request from a member of the Tata family, which made the other party feel embarrassed and chose to take revenge."

"What does her refusal to marry have to do with me? The fine of 35 billion US dollars, those startups combined, are not worth that much money."

Suri was indeed a little confused.

Although he has business in India and his asset management projects are prosperous, in many cases it is always difficult for Suri to understand the thinking of Indians.

First, he went through all the "quintessence of the country" in his head, and then he said:

"Since Miss Aishwarya Baani has come to me, it means that the situation is probably difficult. Didn't they study the relevant legal provisions when they chose to ship the system from the factory?"

"Of course we have studied it, but a new policy was just promulgated yesterday that prohibits mobile phones from being shipped with certain software to avoid disrupting the city's order, and then we received a notice of anti-monopoly investigation."

"???"

The expression on Suri's face was particularly wonderful.

He had only heard of similar encounters before, but he never expected that one day, such a bizarre incident as asking for a fine under newly made terms would happen to him.

Regarding the Tata Group, Suri only knew that it was very large, with total revenue exceeding US$100 billion last year, and that it had acquired the British Jaguar Land Rover brand a few years ago.

Thinking about Miss Aishwarya Bhaani's rejection of the marriage alliance between members of the Tata family, he was wondering whether this time he was involved in the grudges of the wealthy family and was innocently shot.

but.

This might just be an excuse.

The projects Suri invested in India have considerable development potential. In India, which lacks business order, it is especially easy to be forgotten (End of Chapter)
