Chapter 215: The World of Aristocrats
"Earl, although it is a little old and dilapidated, it is really enviable to have such a group of servants and an ancient castle."
"Martin, you can also build one in the United States, and I'm sure your father won't refuse."
The rich second generation pouted: "He won't do such things that have no money to make, let alone ...... I don't have a background like you, and a castle without a background can only be called a castle. ”
Joseph nodded in agreement with this sentence, the Nord Principality does not have too deep roots, so it feels completely different from here.
If it is said that it is a good place to receive officials and wealthy people from various countries, then perhaps the Nord Palace is a good place, but in terms of receiving noble kings and the like, it is even more qualified than the royal palace.
More than ten students sat down in two rows, Joseph sat in the middle position on the left, his left and right were the rich second generation and the big head, and opposite were Li Xiaohan, Zhang Meng, and Orthea.
Before the food came up, John looked at the red wine on one side and couldn't help but ask strangely, "What kind of wine is this?" ”
Joseph didn't know, so he looked at the old butler Alan suspiciously, and the old butler Alan hurriedly explained: "This is the red wine made by our castle itself, and the nobles of Scotland have always liked it before. ”
The rich second generation opened a bottle and poured it for himself, and asked a little strangely: "Why haven't you expanded your business?" The Scottish aristocracy likes it very much, which shows that it is very marketable! ”
"Your Excellency Martin, the workshop is for the service of Lord Earl, and the other nobles like to give it off only ceremonies, if they run ...... Lose its original meaning. ”
Despite this explanation, Joseph understood that the winemakers of the wine workshops were not willing to serve ordinary citizens, let alone the nobility whose nouveau riche could not be hereditary.
For example, such hereditary earl families, they all have their own glory, and they look down on the rich and those who have been canonized as nobles because of their money. Their pride and pride are only fatal flaws in the traditional aristocracy. It's not that they don't understand the business, but they don't disdain. Unless it reaches the point where there is no way back, it will never bend down. And often at that time, the family has declined, and there is no room for turnaround.
Fortunately, Joseph was not short of money and did not say anything about opening a winery, otherwise the old butler would not refuse, but he would also be very dissatisfied, and the servants of the entire castle would have slightly resisted this matter from the heart.
"Such an ancient castle costs a lot of money every year!"
Li Chaojun also began to ask, which made Joseph look sideways, why? Could it be that he is going to buy an ancient castle here, although Li Chaojun has money, he should not be able to take out such capital!
"It's about fifty thousand pounds. If the Earl had held a number of banquets on a regular basis, the cost would have risen to £80,000 to £100,000. ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, holding a banquet was so costly, doubling the cost out of thin air, complaining that many nobles were declining because of the banquet, and the real reason was that the banquet cost was so high.
Li Chaojun was not too surprised, but he also dispelled some thoughts in his heart, looked at Joseph and said: "One of my aunts and grandmothers died in London some time ago, and she left me three million pounds in assets, which I thought was a lot. But now it seems ......"
There is not much money for an ancient castle, less than a few hundred thousand pounds and more than a million, and it is obvious that Li Chaojun wants to buy one. But the annual cost discouraged him.
"It's not worth it, your £3 million won't last long, the industry is on the rise, I suggest you can invest in it, maybe in a few years you will be the third billionaire among us."
The third naturally refers to Joseph and the rich second generation. Big? Even if he is a billionaire, he will not appear on the Forbes list, let alone mention!
"T industry? I don't know about this line, but I guess the chance of losing money is relatively high if I break into it in a daze. ”
"You can buy shares in Microsoft and come up with two million pounds, and in ten years there will be no problem with multimillionaires."
This sentence was said by the rich second generation. It was really convincing to see him in a serious way, but only Joseph understood. If Li Chaojun still goes in for two million pounds, perhaps the probability of losing money is relatively high.
Microsoft's rise is a matter of time. But it is his high-profile that the stock market is very unstable, and the eyes of some predators are on him, Li Chaojun can always insist on it, and it is very likely that all the losses will be lost in it if the operation is not done properly, after all, two million pounds in it is a drop of water.
"Microsoft stock? I suggest you buy shares in Apple Computer, I think it's also promising. ”
The big man who spoke was not just suggesting, he had spent all his savings on Apple shares a few years ago, and now he had more than doubled it.
"Li, I think it's safer to be industrial."
"It is more secure to win a few European agents back to China."
The classmates helped each other with ideas, but it was clear that he was more annoyed by the mess and didn't know whose opinion to take.
"Xiaohan, what do you think?
"Me?"
Li Xiaohan didn't expect his cousin to ask about himself, and pointed at himself a little incredulously, only Zhang Meng next to him saw the clue, and Li Chaojun's eyes were still on Joseph.
Really......
"The suggestions of the big head and the rich second generation are good, and you can make money by taking the agency and going back, but if I were you, then I would definitely find a way to make a fortune on the Soviet Union."
"The Soviet Union? Isn't it too late? ”
"I have some connections in the Soviet Union, and General Vasily of the Siberian Military District of the USSR has a good relationship with me, so you can contact him."
As soon as he heard Li Chaojun of the military region, he understood what Joseph meant, so he asked tentatively with some excitement: "Munitions?" ”
"Nuclear bombs naturally can't work, some tanks and submarines are still fine, especially some scientific laboratory materials, which are really valuable things."
My God, with Joseph's words, the students in the hall all looked at Joseph with dumbfounded eyes, nuclear bombs, tanks, submarines, what are you trying to do? It's that Li Chaojun's face is flushed at this time, and he wants to buy some ordinary guns and other things, but Joseph ......
Unconsciously, the classmates' gazes at Joseph changed a lot, even the old butler Allen, who almost dropped the thing in his hand when he said about the nuclear bomb just now.
"Some time ago, I asked someone to get a T80U tank, and it worked really well to drive, but Soviet things are always so rough, not as good as those in the United States."
Pouting his lips, Joseph was very dissatisfied, but his words all converged into one sentence in the ears of the other students: We really don't understand the world of nobility.
"Soviet helicopter gunships are also good, you can get one for fun, if you want American goods, I also have a good relationship with the American Dodge family, they can help you get one or two."
Joseph is talking about playing, but you can also make money after playing, I dare not say that there is more than one, one or two thousand pounds is still no problem, the backhand is money, which is not worse than the stock market, the main thing is that the risk is much reduced.
"Count, I feel that I am becoming more and more unable to see through you."
“???”
Joseph looked at the rich second generation with some doubts, and at the same time saw the classmates with different eyes.
"The Soviet general of the Dodge family, I really don't know if your nobles' connections are so broad?"
"Forehead ......"
"Joseph, if you have a chance, let me try the Mi 24V Wuzhi!"
John didn't think about it that much, he was a military enthusiast, he was most interested in such an armament, and he couldn't wait to try it.
"No problem, if you don't leave in a hurry I can have someone consign one from Europe, but there is no ammunition, Britain is no better than other places, you should understand."
No individual or group is allowed to carry guns in the UK, unless you have a licence to carry a gun, which is obviously not the case with John and while it won't be a big deal in Scotland with the strength of the Aberdeen family, who wants to get in trouble?
"No ammunition, it doesn't matter, it's good to touch the barrel."
John was visibly stunned, but he was a contented man, but his words left Joseph somewhat speechless.
"Okay, then I'll leave later, and if I can, then I want you to help introduce Admiral Vasily."
Li Chaojun hesitated for a moment and decided to take a look at the Mi-24V, he is also from a military family, and understands that such a thing does not have to worry about a way out, and does not want other places, even some Chinese domestic research institutes are also very rare such things.
"Then I'll stay for a few more days, Mi 24V, I haven't played with anything like this myself, Earl, can you help me get a few."
Big head opening...... Joseph was really a little embarrassed, but nothing else, but he was worried that he would be implicated, after all, the big man's family was not doing a legitimate business.
"Let me introduce you to the head of the Dodge family! The specific price is negotiable. ”
The Dodge family ......, although it is not as famous as Rockefeller Morgan, but it is also one of the best families in the United States, and being able to be involved with such a family is something that the big head and his people can't ask for.
"Earl......"
"They're all brothers, and there's something you don't need to say."
The big head nodded vigorously and said no more.
Zhang Meng's heart was complicated at this time, she didn't know whether she should continue to persuade her friend to accept Joseph, at this time she understood that this was completely a person from two worlds.
What is the daily life of people? Playing with gunship tanks, and they ...... What I want is an ordinary rich life, and the realm of both sides is too big.
What Zhang Meng has always seen is the beautiful and luxurious convoy of noble banquets, that's all, but now that she has come into contact with the other side of the aristocracy, she is a little scary and a little scared. To be continued
ps: Thank you for the reward, and I like my cousin Duzxangx's monthly pass for the Torch of Hope-
