Chapter 69: Kate Fox
ps: Originally, I would like to thank you for helping me add a new chapter to the new book list today, but I'll go out to dinner with my classmates later, and if I come back late, I'll owe it temporarily, I'm sorry!!
The meal came quickly, but to Joseph's surprise, the red wine Kate asked for was not a local British or French winery, but a dry red imported from Australia.
Kate smiled lightly when she asked her doubts: "Compared with French and British red wines, although Australian red wines are younger, they also taste very good, you can taste them, you can change the taste!" ”
Although Kate said this, Joseph still shook his head, to be honest, Joseph is a more traditional person, he has finally adapted to the taste of French red wine, and now he does not want to change to any new taste.
"Joseph, what do you want to buy today?"
"No, just accompany the Earl of Liverpool to have a casual stroll, and if there is something good, talk about it."
It's okay not to mention the Earl of Liverpool, but when Kate mentions it, he can't help but feel angry in his heart, why didn't he introduce Joseph's identity just now? Don't you look down on yourself and think that you have no say in the family?
"The Nord royal family is now the richest of the royal families in Western Europe, is it true that you are the son of God, as reported in the media?"
Although Kate's words contain curiosity, but more jealousy, why did he also inherit the title of the family since he was a child, but Joseph was able to mix so well, but he was deprived of real power by his uncle?
"Son of God?"
Kate's words made Joseph slightly incomprehensible, this is actually the evaluation of Joseph by some American newspapers and periodicals, and these newspapers and periodicals often do not sell much, so it is normal for Joseph not to know.
"That's right! Now there are still some media people on Wall Street who call you that, otherwise how could Nord develop so fast, your butler prime minister doesn't have this ability. ”
Kate was also a little surprised, didn't he hear these names, and then thought about it, indeed, those are some small newspapers Joseph didn't hear it.
"Son of God, I can't afford such a title, as for James, although his ability is a little worse, but not as bad as the media say, and now Nord can be neatly organized is also his credit."
Butler Prime Minister, this is not a good name, Joseph replied to Kate and couldn't help but think to himself, I don't know how sad James must be to know how sad the American media should be to evaluate him. Of course, Joseph would not have known this, but James had known this for a long time, and liked the title very much, because he himself put himself in the position of steward, especially after Joseph was dissatisfied with the affairs of the cabinet and the parliament.
"Kate, your family is ......"
The Earl of Liverpool did not tell Joseph the details of Kate, and it is impossible for such an old fox to ignore such an important matter, so it can only be said that there is no need for him to know the beautiful marquis.
But from the beginning, Joseph's purpose in coming to London was not so simple, connections were only part of his goal, and the future princess was the theme.
"The Fawkes family, it's my uncle who takes care of the family now."
A simple sentence explains a lot of things, at least Joseph understands the reason why the Earl of Liverpool didn't help introduce it, it turns out ...... It's another family dispute, and Kate is still very unfavorable.
However, Joseph did not think about this now, because the Fox family had a lot of trade with the Duchy of Nord, and their family's main place of business was in the west of England, across the sea from Nord. Of course, the pretty Marquise didn't seem to know this.
"It seems that your uncle is hiding a lot from you, at least he doesn't tell you about many of his business dealings with the Duchy of Nord, let alone that he has a good relationship with James."
Joseph's words made the beautiful marquise frown, and the gaze that looked at Joseph was no longer so friendly, and Joseph, who understood what she was thinking, hurriedly spoke: "I don't like your uncle very much, he is very cunning, and likes to play some tricks in the process of trade. ”
Flutter
Joseph's somewhat anxious appearance made the Marquis Kate chuckle, she thought Joseph was cute and funny, but after all, this was a public place, and it was not appropriate for a lady to laugh like this.
"Business is business, how can it be said to be cunning! I don't like my uncle either, but Joseph, you shouldn't complain to me. ”
Seeing Kate's expression, Joseph could only be full of grievances, of course, these grievances were all faked, and as he occupied this body for a longer time, Joseph found himself becoming more and more proficient at pretending to be cute and cheating.
"And your goddamn goods, every single one of them sells for so much."
Speaking of which, Kate once again remembered the moment she was in the Boston business district, and tens of thousands of dollars left her account, although she had money, she couldn't help but feel a pain every time she thought about it.
Kate's words puzzled Joseph, how can he say that he is also the Marquisess and the heir of the Fox family, but it is just some luxury, which is also worth feeling distressed?
Joseph's expression Kate naturally saw it, and couldn't help but glance at him: "If the price is the same, it naturally doesn't matter, but the difference between the price in Nord and the United States is too big, who can bear the difference?" ”
This sentence made Joseph almost unjustly killed, and it was not his own fault, the United States for the restriction (punishment?) The economic development of the Duchy of Nord has already begun to increase tariffs, and he is not even ready to give aid to the third year of the European Recovery Program, depending on the situation.
Here to mention, the United States in 1981 aid was once again sent to China, and in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, although the economy of China is not very good, but the arrival of a large number of European and American machinery let them see hope, hundreds of millions of dollars will not be in arrears.
"When you come to the Duchy of Nord in the future, I will accompany you to buy things."
The result of the entanglement was that Joseph made this promise, but he didn't know that it was this promise that made Joseph almost never want to go out with women for the rest of his life.
Then the two talked about other things, and there was no shortage of some small things about Kate's life at school, and Joseph wondered how someone of Kate's status could go to the United States to study instead of the United Kingdom.
"Many of my friends are studying in the United States, although the education in the UK is good, but the times are changing, and the business atmosphere alone is the first in the world."
Today's aristocrats are not pre-World War II aristocrats, they also need to live and make money, and wealth often represents the prosperity of the family, no matter how big the title, if there is no money then everything is in vain.
Kate's words Joseph nodded very understandingly, he also thought the same way, the new century is coming, wealth is the first, and even power can temporarily step aside in front of wealth.
"But there is a little bit of a bad thing about American universities, they are too free, some speech can be expressed at will, and the favorite thing of several of my friends is to promote the idea of anarchy, and the school security department has approached them several times, but unfortunately they have failed."
Joseph didn't like such a person, after all, he was a member of the powerful interests, and those who preached anarchy might disappear if they went to Nord.
At this time, Joseph remembered one thing, if Kate lived in such an environment, then she was suitable for the princess of the Duchy of Nord? And she is also older, ...... in all aspects.
Kate didn't know that Joseph thought so much for a moment, and even blocked one of her roads to the sky, of course, everything is unknown, maybe the gag will be open in the future.
Kate is still too immature now, although she has been trying to make herself colder, less approachable, and more familiar, but in the eyes of some old foxes, this is a ridiculous disguise.
Although Joseph is not an old fox, Kate has no defense against him at all, which is why she so easily touches her true side.
The time passed in the catering chat, and the Earl of Liverpool had already left early, tidied up his clothes, and the two of them also walked towards the auction hall together.
