Chapter 258: Forced Marriage (5/5 for "The Future Has Not Come" Plus Update)
Wang Ye came over this time and didn't see Isabella, it's only May, Isabella is still studying at school, and it's not time for the holidays.
After the dinner, Frederick entered a room with Wang Ye.
"Wang Ye, there is something I need to talk to you about. ”
After entering the room, this is a small living room, the two of them are sitting on the sofa, Wang Ye asked with a smile: "Is there anything important, do you still need to talk about it alone?"
Frederick said with a serious face: "Isabella will be 20 years old soon, I want to know what you think? I can tell you that there are already other royal families who have mentioned marriage to our family. ”
Wang Ye was stunned, what era is this, and is there still such a thing as marriage?
But when he thought about it, it was no wonder that in order to maintain the so-called purity of blood, the royal family liked to intermarry with each other.
But now that he really makes a decision, Wang Ye is really embarrassed.
"Uncle Frederick, Isabella is only 20 years old, isn't it too early......" Wang Ye said euphemistically.
Frederick smiled and said, "Of course I know, and I didn't say that I would let you get married, but it's always okay to settle the name first, that is, to get engaged." ”
There was no way to escape this time, Wang Ye frowned and thought for a while. If it is true that the depth of feelings, then he is closer to Meimei, Nie Xiaoying, Hua Rou, and Xue Yiyi.
But if you really want to talk about marriage, Nie Xiaoying and Isabella are better choices.
Wang Ye has always been very sober, and when he decided to do something big, he knew that he would have many times in the future, such as marriage......
At his level, even marriage has become a resource, and it is a very important resource.
Why are there so many so-called marriages in big families, in fact, they are also a last resort, let alone political families, and their children do not have the so-called freedom to marry.
From a background like Isabella, since she enjoys the glory that her family brings her, she must also contribute to the glory of her family.
Now Wang Ye is the most favorite marriage partner chosen by the royal family. Because the royal family is not short of political resources now, Isabella is only a princess and not a prince, so there is no need to pay attention to any pure blood.
Then, a business genius like Wang Ye, who can bring real money to the royal family, naturally becomes the best choice!
Fortunately, Isabella also has a good impression of Wang Ye, and Wang Ye is also the first man she likes after the first love.
If Wang Ye really agreed, Isabella would definitely not refuse, because she also knew that if she missed Wang Ye, maybe in the future, she could only marry a prince or nobleman she didn't know according to the family's instructions.
In the end, Wang Ye did not let go of his agreement, and he told Frederick: "Let me think about it again, after all, this is a major life event and needs to be seriously considered." Also, did you ask Isabella for her opinion?"
Frederick understood Wang Ye's concerns, and said with a smile: "Of course, Isha is happy. In October, Isabella will be on her 20th birthday, and to paraphrase your country, I hope to be happy for both sides. ”
Wang Ye smiled bitterly, this is forcing the palace.
He couldn't make up his mind now, not because he felt sorry for the other girls. In fact, he didn't feel sorry for anyone, and before dating a few girls, he explained his situation clearly, and it didn't involve talking about marriage.
Of course, Meimei is an exception, but Meimei herself knows that it is impossible for her to marry Wang Ye.
As for Xue Yiyi, although everyone in the family has seen it, Wang Ye has no substantive relationship with her. And all along, it was Wang Ye who supported her, and he didn't owe Xue Yiyi anything.
If you really want to calculate, it is Xue Yiyi who owes Wang Ye a lot.
Nie Xiaoying's own personality is very refreshing, before the first date, she said that Wang Ye was just her first boyfriend, as for whether it is the last, this is still to be determined.
Of course, Wang Ye also knew that if he was really engaged to Isabella, Nie Xiaoying would definitely be sad.
Huarou ...... This girl also knows how attentive Wang Ye is, so Wang Ye also has a headache.
As for Ling Fei, she should be the most open-minded one, she shouldn't care about Wang Ye's engagement or marriage at all, anyway, just live her comfortably.
The love debt you provoked can only be solved by yourself.
Wang Ye asked tentatively, "That...... I have a girlfriend in China now, and Isabella knows it. ”
Frederick said disapprerovingly, "Of course I know, but it's strange that you're single, and you're so good, that you don't have a girlfriend."
But Wang Ye, you must know that for characters like us, love and marriage must be clearly distinguished.
Before getting married, I don't care how you care, and Isha won't care, but after marriage, I hope Isha can live happily!"
Frederick himself was a playboy before he got married, and he was a well-known "gnawing old man" and "moonlight clan".
When he was young, he was also a romantic figure and soaked in countless supermodels. But after getting married, the performance is still good, at least there are no more scandals.
Seeing that Wang Ye's face was bitter, Frederick said in a low voice: "Of course, if you do it more secretly, don't let Isha know, and don't get photographed by the paparazzi, then everything is easy to say." ”
After saying that, he showed a smile that all men understand.
Wang Ye was a little stunned, this "old man" is too unreliable, he is a person who may become his son-in-law, how can he say that!
However, Wang Ye likes it very much......
The content of the conversation between them, only the two of them, no third person knows what they talked about.
The next day, Wang Ye took a speedboat and boarded the Goddess Island to inspect.
Goddess Island is a sizable island with dense vegetation and woods. Now it's a huge construction site, with roaring machines and people.
At the headquarters, Wang Ye met Manager Ye, the chief commander of the on-site project sent by China State Construction Group. Seeing Wang Ye coming to inspect, Manager Ye was also very happy, everyone is a compatriot, and it is easy to communicate if there is anything.
"Wang Dong, welcome to inspect, I'll take you to see the scene. ”
The area of the island is very large, and now it is just to facilitate the construction of the paved simple road, sitting on the off-road vehicle of the engineering department, Manager Ye took Wang Ye and his party to inspect the construction site.
The reason why this island has invested so much is because of its large area, many construction projects, and high construction standards!
When completed, Goddess Island will have a large multi-purpose exhibition hall that can be described as "majestic".
The shape of this exhibition hall is very "peculiar", like a huge eye suspended in the air, and the blue water below it.
A few simple geometric pillars support the entire exhibition hall, and from a distance, it looks like it is suspended in the air.
Designed by the master designer Oscar Niemeyer, it seems to have a simple structure, but it is actually very complex, and the requirements for building materials are very high, and of course the cost is very high.
There is also a standard 18-hole golf course and a sanatorium.
The sanatorium is garden-style, there are no buildings that are too high, they are all single-family two-story and three-storey villas, each of which has a different shape.
I can't see it yet, because it hasn't started to be built yet.
At the highest point of the island, a magnificent castle will be built, of course, only in the shape of the castle, and the interior is completely modern.
As for the other ancillary facilities, there are even more, a small airport, a dock where large cruise ships can dock, etc.
These facilities, not to mention being built on an island far from the mainland, are not cheap to build in China.
These are just the hardware facilities, and when these are built, the software facilities when the interior decoration is also expensive.
Because this goddess island will play a very important role in Wang Ye's plan, he did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of 3.5 billion US dollars to build a world-class island.
……
After looking around, Wang Ye felt very satisfied, why is the domestic construction team efficient, overtime is one thing, and there are many people!
On the whole island, there are many construction workers busy at every construction site, and as for how many workers there are, Manager Ye gave an accurate number.
"This project, because of the huge project, so we organized No. 8200 workers to come over for construction, and everyone didn't go back for the New Year, and spent the New Year on the island!"
Manager Ye said proudly.
This is also the norm in their construction industry, when they are in a hurry, what year will pass, not to mention that this is an island far away in Northern Europe, how expensive is a ticket to go back.
These workers will work until the end of the entire project before returning to China.
Of course, the company will not treat the workers badly, and the wages for working abroad are more than three times higher than those in China.
Therefore, every time the company has a foreign project, the following engineering teams are rushing to do it. What are you afraid of after two years of hardship, and earn a few years of money a year, it's worth it!
After reading it, Wang Ye didn't stop too much and returned to the palace directly by speedboat. He came over this time, he didn't plan to stay long, and he would return to Pengcheng tomorrow.
Because the listing roadshow of Meigou is about to start.
……
This New York roadshow was organized by Citibank, and as the lead underwriter of the U.S. listing of U.S.com, Citi certainly wanted to show their strength.
The hotel where the roadshow team stayed was the famous Four Seasons Hotel, and Citibank also specially booked the hotel's "Warner Penthouse Suite" for Wang Ye, which is also known as the Presidential Suite.
This is the tallest hotel suite in New York and was designed by renowned architects I.M. Pei and Peter Marino. The suites offer expansive views, and the interiors are upholstered with high-end materials such as Venetian velvet, Chinese agate and silk. The room features 4 floor-to-ceiling windows and glass balconies with 360° views.
This room alone costs more than $50,000 per night!
In order to please Wang Ye, a large customer with great potential, Citi also spared no expense.
The venue of the roadshow, of course, is the large conference room of the Four Seasons Hotel, and the No. 1 conference room, which can accommodate thousands of people, is the "main battlefield" of this roadshow.
