Zhou Ming Caitlin and Princess Louise had a pleasant lunch together, although they had eaten lunch for more than an hour, but after they reached an agreement, it was basically nonsense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAfter this lunch, Zhou Ming understood that talking nonsense is a necessary skill on many occasions, both at home and abroad, for example, Princess Louise's attainments in this area are quite deep.

After lunch, they returned to Harusburg separately, and at this time, many other family members had also finished lunch, or these guys were simply waiting here in advance, just to say hello to Zhou Ming Caitlin with a smile.

This seems to be very unnecessary, but this is the core of aristocratic politics, eggs are not put in one basket, before Caitlin had no chance of winning against Andre, they naturally didn't care, and even in order to win Andre's favor, they would target Caitlin, but now Caitlin has the capital to argue with Andre, the situation is completely different.

Now they don't say that they should change their doors and invest in Caitlyn now, at least they must be familiar with each other and not let Caitlyn hate themselves. After all, you can become friends with powerful people, but at least you can't become enemies!

It's a speculative hypocrisy, but it's one of the most effective philosophies that the aristocracy has summed up for thousands of years, and it takes talent and luck to become a man of great fortune, but these aristocratic politics can make you wise and wise, and become an elite class above ten thousand people under a few people.

All the way back to the hall of the castle, the meeting that was supposed to start at two o'clock did not come until three o'clock, and the expression on his face was very gloomy, as if it was affected by the stock of Fuge Bank.

The nobles in the hall also understood in their hearts, because at lunchtime just now, they all frantically called back to inquire about the situation in the stock market, after all, information is the most important magic weapon to grasp the future, they can not participate, but at least find out what is going on. The final truth is indeed the same as the radio news broadcast by Zhou Ming in the morning, the Quantum Fund's Joros ran out of 10 billion francs, and Fugue Bank suffered a major blow.

It was also because of the confirmation of the news that when Zhou Ming and Caitlin returned to the castle in the afternoon, their attitudes would completely change.

"I'm very sorry that the meeting was postponed for an hour due to some personal matters, and I need to apologize to everyone here. ”

André first said that he was in a very low state of mind, and that it was obviously the Fugg Bank affair that made him feel very depressed, and that his apology was very sincere.

In this regard, Ifarman took the lead in saying that he could understand and believed that with Andre's ability, he could handle those things well. And with Ifaman taking the lead, the others also chimed in and said that they didn't care, as long as Andrei could come back and think that the meeting was important.

Caitlyn's words made Caitlyn very disdainful: "These damn bastards, they are grass that grows on the wall, and they fall wherever the wind blows!"

Zhou Ming can understand this: "There is no way to do this, after all, Andre has been in business for so many years, and we can't just slap him in the face once, and let these guys swear allegiance to us, which is unrealistic." ”

Caitlin sighed, "Of course I understand this, but their faces still make me sick!"

Zhou Ming patted her little hand: "Compared to these ugly faces, I look forward to how your princess and aunt will behave." ”

Louise over there seemed to sense Zhou Ming's thoughts, and when Andre finished his opening remarks, Louise immediately picked up her microphone: "I'm very sorry Count Andrew, I don't know if I can say some of my own opinions at such a major meeting?"

Andre frowned dissatisfied, but still gave a gesture of please: "Of course no problem, this is an important meeting related to the future of the Harusburg family, and I will respect and listen to the opinions of every family member." ”

Louise bowed slightly to express her gratitude, and then she said: "Actually, I want to tell a story that we all know, that is, more than 700 years ago, the throne of the Holy Roman Empire was vacant, and the nobles and major royal families of Europe were eyeing this throne, and even swore their legitimacy in order to inherit the throne, and they did not hesitate to resort to war. ”

"I believe everyone knows the final result, and among all the nobles, the House of Harusburg won and inherited the throne. Louise continued, "I know there's nothing new in this story, even though he is the pride of our Harusburg family, but through this story, I just want to show you that the heir always has to find the most suitable. ”

"Like the House of Halusburg seven hundred years ago, Rome made the throne of Halusburg, and the House of Halusburg made Rome brilliant!"

Louise paused at this point: "But if you are all familiar with the family history, you will know that it is not by chance that the nobles of the whole of Europe chose Harusburg, at least my ancestor did not wait for the Holy See to send the crown of the king after seeing the vacancy of the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, but spent his belongings to buy the succession to the throne of another family in the territory and declared war with the Kingdom of Bohemia. ”

"Please note. "Our ancestor didn't do this nonsense, he was preparing for the throne." ”

"Needless to say, to buy the right of inheritance is to swear that you have the legal basis to inherit the Roman throne, even if it is bought. The other war with Bohemia was a friendly olive branch to the other nobles, because the king of Bohemia was the most formidable opponent in Europe at that time. "What I'm talking about is the wisdom of competition." ”

What bullshit competitive wisdom, it's simply the worst joke in the world!

André scolded in his heart, how could he, as a sophisticated nobleman, not hear Louise's voice?

However, as a nobleman, he still has the most basic qi cultivation skills, so even though Andre had scolded Louise in his heart, he still kept a smile on the surface and asked: "Then Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't know what you think about this family meeting?"

"Your Excellency, please don't get me wrong, I say this just to say what everyone thinks, and like you, I hope to choose a suitable heir to lead the revival of the family. Louise said.

"So you don't think I'm the right person to inherit the family?" asked Andre with a gloomy face, apparently no longer interested in going around with Louise.

Louise smiled: "I said it just now, please don't get me wrong, Your Excellency the Earl, I'm not targeting you, I'm just saying what all the members of the Harusburg family, including you, are all about." ”

Fart your way!

Andre was scolding wildly in his heart, he couldn't help but scold, after all, what bullshit, what to lead the family to revitalize, this is just a set of high-sounding rhetoric, who believes who is so stupid! If he really has this noble idea in his heart, then he will not force the former patriarch Archduke Ferdinand to die depressed, and in the end even the funeral is so shabby, he has done so much, just to inherit this family!

As an old nobleman, Louise couldn't not understand her thoughts, and when she said this now, she was referring to Sang scolding Huai and deliberately embarrassing herself.

However, although Andre had already scolded in his heart, Zhou Ming still shook his head dissatisfied.

Caitlin was puzzled, for it seemed to her that Louise had responded, and there was nothing wrong with what she said.

Zhou Ming told her: "What your aunt said is that there is no problem, and her expression is indeed your family's or Western aristocratic sarcasm, which is also the most accustomed routine in this circle, but for me or the current situation, it is still too light-hearted, and now I want the most direct way to pull Andre off his position as soon as possible and tear all his faces, such irony is too obscure and unpleasant." ”

Only then did Caitlyn understand: "No way, she is used to it, and she habitually retains the reserve of her nobles, so they can't compare to Zhou Mingyou anyway." ”

Only by being willing to cut off the emperor can the emperor be pulled off the horse, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning? This is the difference between the concept of the East and the West.

Zhou Ming sighed in his heart, this is not which is higher or lower, but at least by understanding their way of thinking, their affairs can be carried out better.

At this time, Louise turned the topic to Zhou Ming and said: "In history, the children of the former Grand Duke are the most powerful heirs, so I don't know what Caitlyn thinks of you?"

Caitlin glanced at Zhou Ming first, and Zhou Ming smiled and asked her to say boldly, just say whatever comes to mind.

Caitlin said elegantly: "I completely agree with Aunt Louise's words, since I want to choose an heir, it is natural to choose the most suitable one, although my succession is the highest priority, but I will also consider the overall situation of family revival." ”

At the end, Caitlyn looked at André and asked, "I'm sure you can do that, Your Excellency, right?"

Faced with this sudden question, Andrei had no choice but to nod and say, "Of course, since I can be anxious about this meeting, if I can't bring the best heir to the family, then this meeting will be meaningless." ”

"That's good news," said Louise, "and I think we can start negotiating the rules for electing an heir from now on, and whoever is elected must obey and support the heir as much as possible, and no longer have the most shares in the bank or the wealth to build a castle within a castle." ”

Listening to Louise's words, Andre's face became more and more ugly, because Louise's last words were aimed at him, what is the most bank shares and wealth, to build a castle within a castle, isn't this talking about him?

However, Zhou Ming then said: "So Mr. Andre, in order to show your sincerity, should you take some shares of Fuge Bank? Anyway, the situation of Fuge Bank is so bad now, it is best to let everyone participate and make more suggestions!"

Andre was about to vomit blood, and when he heard Zhou Ming's words, he understood that Louise's words were as gentle as an angel.

But it is impossible to promise, it is impossible to promise in this life, benefits are like the sweetest cake in the world, you won't want to spit it out if you eat it.

Andre finally said in a deep voice: "This matter is not as simple as I thought, if who is elected as the successor in the end, of course I will be willing to take out the family wealth that I have kept temporarily, but not now!"

Emphasizing this point, André then said: "In addition, the selection of the heir is the most important thing in Harusburg now, so I think it should be the most cautious, hasty will only make the decline of the family worse, my opinion is to temporarily adjourn the meeting for five days, everyone go back and think about what kind of rules should be set for the selection of the heir!"

In the end, Andrei said: "This time I am not negotiating, but I am going to exercise my power as the initiator of the meeting and make unilateral decisions!"

With that, André turned and walked off the podium, ignoring the commotion that erupted in the hall.
