Chapter 64: Behind the $100 million

ps: Thank you Lin Qiu for the reward from the security guards, and now it is on the list (although it is the last place), thank you for your support, I wanted to thank you four more, but it was too late, I owe it first, and I will make up for it this Monday. (Wednesday is full of classes, Thursday is made up, and speaking has always counted.) Thank you!!

The Liverpool family's estate is not much worse than the Nord Palace, and the centuries-old heritage is even better than that of the Nord, after all, the fact that Germany did not land in Britain during World War II did not destroy them much.

The bright hall sat next to each other, and several servants served coffee in a timely manner, and Aldrich seemed to be very interested in Joseph, and kept an eye on him from the beginning.

"Is there something on my face, otherwise Aldridge why do you keep staring at me?"

Aldrich's questioning made Aldrich a little embarrassed, he was still a shy lad by nature, at least as he was now.

"No, but my father often talks about you, and if I have the opportunity I would like to invite you to the Holliss family, I am sure my father will be very happy."

Joseph naturally would not refuse such a request, after all, visiting the major British nobles to expand their contacts is also one of the more important tasks, after all, Hollis is an old family, and it is very important for the Ragnar family to befriend such a family.

"Aldrich just said that your brother was captured by the Nazis along with my father, and I would venture to ask ...... now"

Joseph hardly saw this name from some records and notes, so it is very likely that the other party is not worthy of Ragnar II's record, but the identity of the heir of the Hollis family obviously does not fit such a scope, so there is only one result......

"He did not survive the Nazis, and the news was passed on to the family by His Royal Highness Ragnar II."

Aldrich, who was only in his twenties, was very plain when he talked about it, but if you looked closely, you could hear a hint of sadness in his flat tone, and it could be seen that he had a good relationship with his brother.

The heir is dead, and Aldrich is the second son of Duke Hollis, so doesn't he mean that he is the heir to the future Hollis? Joseph couldn't help but look at the old earl, but he didn't see anything in the old earl's face.

Anne's performance was very proud, but she obviously didn't understand Aldrich's character, because he was not happy to find out the pride in his fiancée's eyes, but this is normal, Anne's proud identity in her heart was exchanged for the death of Aldrich's brother, and it was strange that he could be happy.

Through a simple conversation, Joseph has some simple understanding of the members of the Liverpool family, first of all, the old earl, Joseph seems to be an old fox who does not leak his face, never shows his minions until the moment of death, and belongs to the kind of person who desperately needs news.

followed by his two daughters, the eldest daughter, Afra, needless to say, is just an honest, quiet ordinary beautiful young woman, but her husband is slightly different.

Being in such a family and fitting his own identity, Adonis must have great ambitions in his heart, and if he didn't, he wouldn't have been able to stay here.

The second is the youngest daughter Anne, who is greedy for vanity and longs for a higher status, which should be her dream, but she is also a stupid woman, who has no idea what the object she needs to cling to is thinking, and she must be the one who suffers in the future, Aldrich is easy to coax, but his family ......

A duke who stands at the top of England, how he gets along with his family is fake, especially Aldrich's character, kindness brings him not glory and friends, but a group of wild wolves who think he is weak and bullying.

Thinking of this, Joseph himself was a little strange, why was his head so flexible when thinking about these things, could it be that he also had a considerable talent in politics after crossing over?

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

The old earl's shout made him sober up, and when he raised his face to see the strange eyes of everyone, he couldn't help but blush slightly, wrong, it seems that he has no talent for a politician, because the basic skill of a qualified politician is that he must have a thick skin.

"Sorry, I'm a little distracted thinking about something."

"No, it's okay, I haven't taken the liberty to ask, what is the matter with His Highness's arrival this time?"

As the saying goes, nothing is left to the Three Treasures, especially a "friend" like Joseph, who has almost no contact, and the Earl of Liverpool feels compelled to ask.

"Nord has a project to connect the national underground, and now there is a shortage of some funding, if the Earl of Liverpool is interested, it can be given to you first."

Joseph's attitude is very high, not at all like asking someone to invest? In fact, this is normal, it is true that Nord cannot afford to build the subway now, but it cannot be denied the earning power of the subway itself.

Too much to say, 30 million financing return 50 million is no problem, although it will take five or six years to slow down, but where to find a return of 80 percent in five years? The stock market naturally has, but the risk there is too high, compared to the Nord subway project, which is the stable way of making money that the aristocracy wants.

"Nord is going to build a nationwide subway?"

"That's right, the initial investment of 100 million US dollars, the completion time is about three years, and the income time starts from the fifth year."

"An initial investment of $100 million?"

When he said this, the Earl of Liverpool couldn't help but look at Aldrich, and Aldridge also had a strange look in his eyes, if it weren't for the government license plate and seeing Joseph in the newspaper, they would even think that Joseph was a fake, although the Duchy of Nord is not big, it is impossible to even take out a hundred million dollars!

"The industrial zone is under construction, and there are many new projects, not much for $100 million, but it is also a lot of money for the current Nord government."

At this time, the Earl of Liverpool nodded at Aldrich, he also knew about this matter, now that Nord is under full construction, it is true that he can't get money, not to mention that it is difficult for the treasury to take money or issue treasury bonds, unless it is for overseas issuance of treasury bonds.

"Your Highness, I think there should be a lot of people who take the initiative to find you for such a thing!"

This is also a strange place for the Earl of Liverpool, the subway is a profitable business, and there is almost no risk, this investment is a priority and even a project worth actively looking for, but now Joseph has come to London with it and found himself, does it mean anything else?

Joseph smiled slightly and did not answer, frowning slightly, the Earl of Liverpool guessed Joseph's intentions, indeed, it is also an opportunity to make money, if it is left to a nobleman like himself, he can also increase the connections of the Ragnar family, which is something that money can't buy, and after understanding this, the Earl of Liverpool is also completely relieved.

"Your Royal Highness, I don't know how the funds will be in the later stage, if I can, I am willing to invest in a share on behalf of the Holliss family, Nord's projects are very good, my father had intended to buy shares of Audi, but many shareholders like to hold the shares in their hands, and my father is very depressed about this."

Although he knew that the other party was telling a lie, Joseph was still very happy, and it was difficult to get Audi shares now, but as long as he spent an extra six or seven percent, it would be no problem.
