Chapter 917 - Classic Inspirational Legend
PS: Three more to ask for monthly ticket support, in the middle of the month, if there is a ticket, give it to Zhang Bei, beg.
For example, now, under the introduction of Mr. Anderson, Wang Guan can be regarded as knowing a Saudi prince.
Abdur, a standard rich and handsome, the object that most women in the world want to marry, is also the target of envy and hatred of all men around the world, not only envy and envy his wealth, but also hate him for being able to marry four wives......
Adult men are allowed to marry four wives, which is said to be a Saudi law. This rule alone is estimated to be enough for men in most countries in the world to grit their teeth and resent why they were not reincarnated in the Saudi state.
Of course, the regulations are the regulations, but whether they can afford it or not is another matter.
However, as a Saudi prince, there is definitely no need to worry about this problem. Anyway, according to Yu Feibai, each of these members of the Saudi royal family can receive at least $1.5 million in royal allowances per year, and many even occupy important positions in the oil economy to get large kickbacks.
People are not bad for money, let alone four wives, even forty is no problem. The difference between more and less is that you need to consider whether your body can afford it.
It's far away, let's get down to business.
It can be seen that Mr. Anderson seems to have a good relationship with this Prince Abdul, and under his introduction, Prince Abdul smiled and shook hands with Wang Guan, looking polite.
At the same time, Fang Mingsheng also walked over with that Mr. Hill, and there must have been an indispensable introduction to each other. However, as soon as he talked to Prince Adubul, Fang Mingsheng turned against him, directly left Mr. Hill, and talked and laughed with him.
Don't doubt Fang Mingsheng's social skills, and when he intentionally or unintentionally revealed his identity as a tyrant, Prince Abdul was also a little more interested and had the intention of making friends. The two hit it off. The conversation was very eager.
Seeing this, Mr. Hill smiled on the surface, but in fact he was certainly unhappy in his heart. Perhaps, this is the real reason why he wants to send Fang Mingsheng away.
After all, the two are very realistic businessmen, and there is no difference in essence, so they naturally understand the "strange goods" of the Saudi prince. In contrast, the previous "good friend" relationship was simply a piece of paper pasted in the window, which was broken with a stab. At least for Fang Mingsheng, it was enough to know Prince Abdul. Hill or something. It doesn't matter which onion he is.
Not to mention the "open and secret fight" between the two people, Wang Guan and Mr. Anderson also chatted happily at this time.
"Mr. Anderson is really well-traveled."
At this time, Wang Guan sighed a little: "Even the prince of Saudi Arabia knows it." β
"Prince Abdul also likes to collect, and we met at Sotheby's auction." Mr. Anderson laughed: "I didn't know he was a Saudi prince at the time, and I found out who he was later. β
Wang Guan blinked and asked in a low voice, "Then does he know your identity?" β
"What?" Mr. Anderson was puzzled.
Wang Guan smiled and said softly: "Israel! β
Israel is a Jewish-founded state with generally bad relations with Arab countries. The reasons for this are manifold. However, it is undeniable that the biggest problem is the conflict and contradiction left over from religious beliefs. Religious issues have always been the most complex in the world. The most sensitive and difficult contradictions. There is no way to solve the problem of right and wrong.
Mr. Anderson is Jewish, but Prince Abdul is a member of the Arab royal family. The fact that the two were able to become good friends was somewhat unexpected by Wang Guan.
"Wang, you may have misunderstood."
At this time. Mr. Anderson smirked, "You know, I'm an Italian and have nothing to do with Israel." β
"Understood."
Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and revealed the topic. Originally, if the other party did not take the initiative to reveal the interaction between friends, who would deliberately understand the details of the friends.
Moreover, as Mr. Anderson said, he is Italian, and as long as he does not explicitly support Israel, Prince Abdul should not be angry with Mr. Anderson. After all, it was no longer the time of World War II, and the Jews had to be exterminated by various motives......
"Remember to keep it a secret for me." Mr. Anderson smiled lightly, and then beckoned, "Wang, Mr. Hill is going to invite us to afternoon tea, let's go together." β
Wang Guan looked back, and sure enough, he found that under the crowd of people, Prince Abdul had already begun to walk outside. Fang Mingsheng was next to Prince Abdur, and he didn't greet him, it was really ...... Merchants are very profitable.
Wang Guan shook his head, and then under the greeting of Mr. Anderson, he also walked slowly in the direction of the castle.
Soon after, everyone came to the castle again, and at this time, the doorman naturally did not stop it, but saw a group of people from a distance, and opened the castle gate early. Not only the gate is opened, but even some servants and the like stand on both sides of the castle to greet them, which is completely the etiquette of greeting VIPs.
Prince Abdul didn't say anything on the surface, but it could be seen from the smile on his face that he was actually very satisfied with Mr. Hill's arrangement. After all, as a representative of the privileged class, he must be very particular about pomp, and it is impossible to be as casual as ordinary people, which is not in line with his identity.
The so-called democracy is nothing more than the nonsense of politicians to coax people to vote for themselves. Looking at the countries of the world, which dignitary does not hug each other when he travels? Even what kind of standard reception is even engaged, to put it bluntly, it is also a manifestation of privilege.
A person who does not enjoy privileges will certainly accuse and denounce such behavior, but when he has privileges, he will try his best to maintain the existence of such privileges, and even find many reasons to justify it. Speaking of which, this is also the root of human inferiority, and we don't expect to be able to change it......
When Wang Guan complained about it, Mr. Hill also took out the style of the owner of the castle, smiled kindly, and gently and politely invited everyone into the old castle.
At this moment, under the guidance of Mr. Hill, everyone officially entered the castle. First of all, you can see that there is a long corridor leading to the living room, and on both sides of the corridor, there are portraits hanging one after another.
At the right time, Mr. Hill was in a somewhat high spirits, gushing on what he was saying, and constantly reaching out to each painting, presumably to introduce the origin of these portraits.
"These are portraits of the ancestors of Mr. Hill's family."
Mr. Anderson explained quietly, but let Wang Guan confirm his guess. At that moment, he also looked curiously, and saw that Mr. Hill's first ancestor, or the first person to obtain nobility and establish a family, was a knight wearing armor and carrying a spear......
The next list is one by one, fat or thin, or bearded, or beardless, young and old, anyway, they are all aristocratic. In a row, there are probably more than twenty pictures, which are enough to prove the antiquity of Mr. Hill's family.
This is better in Western countries, even if they are defeated and become captives, as long as they pay enough ransom, even the king of a country can be released.
In the East, to be precise, after the pre-Qin period, especially after Xiang Yu released Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, this is simply unthinkable. For the enemy, as long as the other party does not submit, it will definitely be a family raid and extermination. And it can only be the generals who are obedient, and if it is a king of the princes, the end is often very tragic.
Count them, among them, the luckier one is Adou who can't be helped, at least after the people surrender, he will be happy to be his Anle Gong, and there will be a good result. The typical representative of tragedy is naturally Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who was given a cup of medicine, and after his death, he hid alone in the mountains, and there was no one to sacrifice.
In contrast, the Western aristocracy is more nourishing, as long as the luck is not bad and is not killed by the peasant rebels, then the family can be passed down from generation to generation. Even if there is no one in this branch, you can find an heir among your relatives, so there are many families that have been inherited for more than a thousand years, and even more for hundreds of years.
Mr. Hill's family, according to his own description, is seven or eight hundred years old, if not a thousand years. The ancestor was the attendant of a certain nobleman, and then saved the life of a nobleman in a war, so he was promoted to knight, and then after two or three generations of painstaking management, he gradually made his fortune.
Then to the tenth generation of ancestors, they were very lucky to get a fief, and after seven or eight generations of efforts, they finally established this castle and became one of the great nobles of Britain.
Anyway, under Mr. Hill's description, the development history of their family is equivalent to a poor boy's counterattack to become rich and handsome, which is very touching and can be called a classic inspirational legend.
Of course, after becoming a nobleman, how to plunder the peasants, oppress the people, squeeze the people's fat and ointment, and so on, Mr. Hill must never mention it, and there is no such thing as power.
The so-called people are difficult to dismantle, everyone knows it, and there is no need to expose it. On the contrary, when Mr. Hill recounts, everyone has to give face, and from time to time a few words of praise to express their reverence for his ancestors.
Mr. Hill also thanked him politely and continued to lead the way with a smile on his face. Anyway, it was like this stop-and-go, and after nearly half an hour, everyone finally finished walking through the corridor and came to the large living room.
Needless to say, the luxurious dΓ©cor of the living room is pure British royal style, resplendent and magnificent, coupled with a huge crystal chandelier, making people feel like they are in a palace made of gold jewelry.
However, everyone present was someone who had seen a big scene, and no one would show any abnormality. On the contrary, he looked calm, and sat down on the soft and luxurious sofa casually under the courtesy of Mr. Hill.
At the moment when everyone sat down, Mr. Hill waved his hand, and naturally there were servants who brought coffee, black tea and other beverages, and presented them to different people according to everyone's taste. Everyone nodded in thanks, politely raised their glasses, and then sipped their drinks.
For a moment, the hall was filled with an eerie sense of peace...... (To be continued......)
