Chapter 1018: Centennial Manor!
The next day, at dusk.
The sunset on the horizon is as brilliant as fire, and the red fiery clouds will herald the whole tomorrow, and thousands of sails on the Thames will pass by, and the pleasure boats will carry tourists from all over the world.
If you climb high and look down at this city full of ancient charm at this time, you will inevitably fall for it and be intoxicated by it.
Cowley Street, translated in Chinese, means Cowley Street.
Su Yiyang and Yun Wanyi drove into this neighborhood in the Rolls-Royce Phantom provided by the Bulgari Hotel.
Duke Swift's Mansion is located in this neighborhood, and in this place where every inch of land is valuable, the Duke of Swift's family owns a huge block, and this manor alone is roughly estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The main thing is that the Duke of Swift's family is located in a wonderful location, with the beautiful Thames River to the east, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey to the north, all within a 10-minute walk.
As for security, on the south side of the same block, there are also London's City Hall offices and Smith Square, and across the street is MI5, which is heavily secured, and it can be said that there is no place more secure than here.
After presenting the invitation, the car drove smoothly into the manor.
The main body of Duke Swift's manor is a huge European-style castle, in front of which stands a huge fountain, flanked by neatly trimmed flowers, which looks very imposing as a whole.
At this time, there were already many luxury cars parked in Duke Swift's manor, and in front of the gate of the castle, many guests were stopping to greet each other, and Gray, the butler known to Su Yiyang and Yun Wanyi, was standing at the gate of the castle as a greeting, smiling and welcoming every guest who came to the cocktail party.
After the car stopped, Su Yiyang and Yun Wanyi stepped out of the car.
Participating in this kind of upper-class drinking party, the two of them naturally did not dress very casually, and they were quite particular about dressing.
Yun Wanyi was wearing an off-white slim short skirt, the skirt was about ten centimeters above the knee, which was neither revealing nor too conservative, wearing a diamond necklace on her gooseneck, a bracelet with a limited edition of the world's luxury goods on her wrist, her hair was slightly bent, and the whole person looked extraordinary.
And Su Yiyang, who was next to Yun Wanyi, was wearing a very formal suit, with a brooch pinned to his chest, and his hair was combed very neatly.
Holding Yun Wanyi in her left hand, she is carrying the congratulatory gift that Yun Wanyi bought for Duchess Swift yesterday.
The congratulatory gift prepared by the two for the Duchess of Swift was a complete set of gemstone jewelry, worth more than four million.
Originally, the original budget of the two was to buy a million-level congratulatory gift, after all, they were not familiar with Duke Swift, and giving a congratulatory gift should be regarded as a good relationship with Duke Swift.
But because of yesterday's incident, if you give another million-level congratulatory gift, it will inevitably look a little shabby, so the budget for the congratulatory gift has directly increased by more than four times, which can already be regarded as a generous gift.
"This manor is so beautiful and charming, and the history should not be short. Yun Wanyi exclaimed in a low voice.
When Su Yiyang heard this, he responded with a smile: "The Duke Swift family has been inherited for a hundred years, and this manor is the residence of the Duke Swift family, maybe this castle is also a hundred years old." ”
Su Yiyang and Yun Wanyi laughed, and at the same time, the two of them walked towards the castle quite relaxed, and soon walked to the gate of the castle.
"Good evening, Mr. Gray!"
Su Yiyang and Yun Wanyi walked to the gate of the castle and greeted Gray with a smile.
Gray, who was originally greeting the guests, turned around with some surprise when he heard Su Yiyang's voice, and when he saw Su Yiyang and Yun Wanyi coming, he immediately confessed to the guests beside him, and then greeted the two of them.
"Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, welcome to you!" Gray greeted respectfully.
Su Yiyang bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gray, this is a congratulatory gift we have prepared for the Duchess of Swift, which is a little bit of our heart." ”
Gray took the congratulatory gift from Su Yiyang with both hands, and then said sideways: "Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, please come in, there is still about half an hour before the cocktail party, you can let the waiter take you around the castle, and the cocktail party will be held in the back garden at that time." ”
Su Yiyang answered, and after a brief greeting with Gray, he led Yun Wanyi into the castle, and Su Yiyang and Yun Wanyi were quite interested in this historic castle.
After Su Yiyang and Yun Wanyi walked into the castle, the guest who had just talked to Gray stepped forward and asked with some curiosity: "Butler Gray, who are those two guests with oriental faces just now?"
"Earl Pulitzer, those two guests just now are honored guests invited by Duke Swift, and they are from China. Gray responded.
"Duke Swift's distinguished guest?" Earl Pulitzer raised his eyebrows: "What are they coming from? can they afford Duke Swift's honored guest?"
Gray thought about it and felt that Su Yiyang's identity was nothing to hide, so he said: "That Mr. Su's name is Su Yiyang, he is a giant in the global venture capital industry, ranked tenth in the global Forbes list last year, and has hundreds of billions of dollars in personal assets, according to the assessment of professional financial institutions, Mr. Su is likely to become the richest man in the world in the future!"
After listening to Gray's introduction, Count Pulitzer's eyes widened slightly: "The richest man in the world?so young?!"
Gray smiled and nodded: "Count Pulitzer, now that the Internet is so developed, I have already told you the name, Mr. Su has an extraordinary influence and status in the world, you can check it online for yourself to know that what I just said is true." ”
Count Pulitzer nodded a little dazedly, obviously Gray's words just now made him a little irritated, after all, the man just now looked about the same age as his son, but the achievements were really different.
Looking at the shocked appearance of Earl Pulitzer, Gray was helpless, in fact, with Su Yiyang's reputation, as long as he paid a little attention to international news, he would not be unaware, but the British aristocracy is still quite different, and some families rely on their old books, content with the status quo, and live a comfortable life on the assets of their ancestors.
There are also some nobles, who take advantage of the privileges and assets of the nobles, to continue to forge ahead, so that the assets continue to expand, and in this group, Duke Swift is a good representative.
These two types of aristocratic groups, no one can say who is good, no one can say who is bad, after all, investment is risky, and it is not without nobles who have lost their ancestral wealth over the years......
