Chapter 67: The Earl of Liverpool's Football Dream

"Earl of Liverpool, maybe it's time for me to get out of here, after all, I still have to talk to Duke Hollis about this, sorry for the interruption these two days."

Joseph had no intention of getting involved in the Earl's family feud, and leaving was perhaps the only thing he could do, although his goal was not achieved.

"Maybe things are easier for His Highness Joseph, three million dollars, I mean the Liverpool family is willing to invest three million dollars in this subway project???."

Joseph is a little strange, such a big project is by no means two or three days can be decided, but now the Earl of Liverpool actually gave him an accurate answer, even if the subway project is indeed very stable, but ......

"Christie's has an auction tonight, Your Highness, are you interested in buying something?"

Auctions, private horse farms, large private banquets, this is the favorite place of the aristocratic rich, where it is also the easiest to make friends and expand contacts, Liverpool's words are obviously to take Joseph to meet some of London's aristocrats.

"Naturally, I'm interested, but I don't have much money."

"I believe in the words of the Grand Duke of Nord, the world's major banks will lend you like crazy."

It seems to be a small joke, but there is also a reminder to Joseph that he recognizes this favor, and the world's major banks are willing to lend to Nord, which shows that the subway project is not too short of money, and it is a friendly performance of Joseph to let them invest.

……

Joseph's departure was soon known to Anne and Afra, who came to see him off with different moods, and Aldrich would accompany him to the banquet tonight, after all, his father, Duke Hollis, would also be there tonight.

Adonis had not returned since last night, and Joseph did not ask as if he had not seen it, and the Earl of Liverpool naturally did not take the initiative to mention it if he did not ask, so he disappeared from everyone's sight like a stranger.

"Afra, if you have time to come to Nord, I'll accompany you to see Sickey, it's a very obedient little fellow."

Joseph didn't care what this thought to the others, and after saying this, he got in the car and prepared to leave, and the Earl of Liverpool smiled meaningfully at his eldest daughter and got into the car after him.

It's still early, so Aldrich is not in a hurry to go over, and Anne will also be present at the auction house tonight, and girls need time to dress up, and Aldrich will accompany Anne at that time.

In the car, the driver is an old man from the Liverpool family, so that the old man of the century-old family knows what to say and what not to say, so the two can completely ignore him when they speak.

"Afra gives me a very special feeling, very kind and warm."

After being silent for a long time, Joseph said the first sentence, and it was this sentence that made the Earl of Liverpool's heart flutter, and he began to guess what Joseph wanted to express in this sentence.

"If I'm not mistaken, since the passage of the British Noble Act in 1963, women seem to have the same right to inherit the title!"

The Earl of Liverpool, who misunderstood Joseph's meaning, did not express his dissatisfaction at the first time, but nodded calmly and said: "That's right, but if the testator insists, there is still a chance for things to change." ”

"The Earl may have misunderstood me, but Afra is indeed unfit to inherit the title of Earl, I just hope that her life will be better in the future, that's all."

"She's my daughter, Joseph."

One sentence was enough, Joseph nodded and did not speak again, although he was very dismissive of this sentence, if he really regarded her as his own daughter, then why would he find such a husband for her?

Joseph didn't speak again because he knew that he was not qualified to be dissatisfied, and in the eyes of the Liverpool family, he was just the role of passerby A and passerby B, and of course he might be a wealthy and powerful passerby B and passerby A.

"Say something light! Earl of Liverpool, is there anything good at Christie's tonight? As you should know, I'm interested in some of the things in the East. ”

I don't know if he really forgot about it or if the Earl of Liverpool was too old-fashioned, in short, there was not the slightest dissatisfaction on his face at this time, it was completely the enthusiastic expression of the first day.

"Maybe Joseph you will be disappointed, tonight's auction is mainly based on some European oil paintings and some things from the Roman period, the East...... It seems that there is only one sword from the Warring States period in Japan! ”

"A sword from the Warring States period of Japan?"

"Yes, I don't know much about the culture of the East, but there will be some Japanese people here tonight, and you should know that the Japanese economy has been very volatile lately, and there are some rich people among them."

Although he said this, it can be seen from the face of the Earl of Liverpool that he doesn't care much about it, and Joseph can see from the previous information that the Earl of Liverpool is a little ethnically discriminatory.

"I went to Japan once a few days ago, and their sashimi is not bad, and if the Earl is interested, you can taste it, and the cherry blossoms and beauties are also good."

Women are a topic that men love, and even if one is a child and the other is an old fox, they can find common ground when talking about such things.

"I don't like Japanese women very much, compared to Germany, which is very good, and Ukraine is also very good, but the situation in Ukraine is ...... now"

At this time, during the Cold War, the situation in the United States and the Soviet Union made London without a few Ukrainian beauties, and the Earl of Liverpool was a typical playboy when he was young, and his favorite thing to do was to study the beauties of various countries.

"This year's Nobel Prize was actually issued to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, although they do have this qualification, but I think it is better to award it to individuals."

"Nobel **? Piaget is also interested in this kind of award? ”

"Of course, it's not World War II now, our aristocracy is just honor, and it's not very good to hide behind the scenes, and it's good to expose it occasionally."

Joseph nodded sympathetically, although it is safe to hide behind the scenes, but it also brings a lot of inconvenience, when people completely forget about you, it is not far from the demise of the family.

For example, the legendary Rothschild family, Morgan and Rockefeller family, although it is rare to see their descendants appear, but their family names have always been resounding all over the world and are becoming more and more intense.

Nord is also a member of the United Nations, but because of its small size and small population, it has always played the role of soy sauce, and that vote is not even as important as some African countries.

While the two were talking, a group of people outside the car were marching angrily, and looking at the headline, it turned out to be dissatisfied with the performance of a local team, and I wanted to laugh and joke but found that the Earl of Liverpool also had a bad face.

"The Count also likes football?"

"It's a bit of a play once in a while, but the performances of several teams in London have been really poor lately, but unfortunately the future of the team is not very clear, and most of them are occupied by a few big clubs, and the newcomers have little chance of qualifying."

The Earls of Liverpool obviously had the intention of setting up their own team, but the environment in London or England made him see no hope, so he had no choice but to give up.

Looking at the scenery outside the car, Joseph suddenly remembered one thing, Nord should also establish his own football team, after all, the influence of European football is still very large.
