Chapter 360: This Grand Duke is not the Grand Duke of the Other One

In fact, the traditional aristocracy looked down on the nouveau riche of new capital and the craftsmen. All their courtesy, all their politeness, are just derived from the cultivation and education they received since childhood, and the hypocritical false model.

In the eyes of George Feng, who is deeply proud of his origins, Li Xiaoqing and the China behind her, as well as the vulgar United States, are the nouveau riche of today's world, with nothing but money. He was able to sit down with Li Xiaoqing to talk about business, completely for the sake of making money.

Zhuo Yang's hair Xiaoyang once said: The bullshit aristocracy is all a bun of dirt buns. If you really want to talk about aristocracy, only China is the aristocracy that has lasted for 5,000 years on the earth, and everyone else is all nouveau riche who won the lottery.

Of course, George von would not have agreed with the view of the ocean.

And George Feng treats Zhuo Yang as no different from an actor, athletes, pianists, actors, singers, and models are just plays for the pleasure and enjoyment of the upper class.

The strong and sensitive self-esteem of the aristocracy made George Feng unable to step down in front of the aggressive Zhuo Yang and Li Xiaoqing, and he would rather give up his huge interests and give up the opportunity to become a Hungarian Internet business predator than refuse.

He was such an impulsive and angry character, otherwise why would Otto give up on him. George Von is very capable, but he lacks the vision and pattern that Otto, Chloe's father, and his nephew Thomas have. He was born to be just a high-spirited businessman, not a family member.

The arrogance of the Chinese hit George Feng's self-esteem hard.

.

"Zhuo Yang, I reject the conditions proposed by you and the Austrian Archduke. President Li, I'm sorry I can't work with you. That's it. ”

George believes that his refusal will leave Zhuo Yang and Li Xiaoqing helpless, and he is eager to see the two disappointed, so as to regain a city from their pride. As for the huge loss of interests in the future, as well as the unpredictable risk of family strife, that is a later story.

"Zhuo Yang, I know that you are so enthusiastic about the internal affairs of the Habsburgs, all for the sake of Christine Josephine. I regret to inform you now that I, and the Habsburg family, will spare no effort to prevent your marriage to her. ”

Li Xiaoqing looked at Zhuo Yang nervously, she was worried that he would be angry and rude.

Zhuo Yang smiled contemptuously: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me." ”

"You shouldn't have anything to do with the women of the Habsburgs, Zhuo Yang, and I think you know that very well."

Zhuo Yang still had the same expression: "That's my business, it has nothing to do with you." ”

George Feng spread his hands: "Alright then, let's wait and see, that's all for today." With that, he got up to see off the guest.

"Grand Duke of Hungary!" Zhuo Yang said.

"What?" George Vonton was there.

"The Grand Duke of Hungary you've been dreaming of."

George Feng looked at Zhuo Yang in surprise: "Mr. Zhuo Yang, you make it clear." ”

"His Excellency the Austrian Grand Duke means that if you support him, you can become a real Hungarian Grand Duke."

There are actually two words for 'Grand Duke', the German word 'Erzherzogtum' corresponds to the English word 'Archduke', and the more accurate translation would be 'Prince' or 'Prince'.

In Holy Rome and later in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Erzherzogtum was granted only to heirs to the throne. That is, Erzherzogtum is a title of Grand Duke with real office and dominion. Today, the Austrian Archduke is such an 'Erzherzogtum', and the only hereditary Erzherzogtum of the Habsburgs.

The other is Großherzog, which can be understood as 'the older duke', a title that will be given to the children of other royal descendants, but only an honorary title, with no real rights, and with each generation, the son of the Grand Duke will become a duke, and the grandson will be reduced to a marquis.

Otto's Habsburg Grand Duke was Großherzog, but for historical reasons, his 'Grand Duke' could be hereditary.

When he was a child, Otto von was confirmed by his father, Karl I, as the crown prince of Austria-Hungary and the Grand Duke of Austria, and also Erzherzogtum, but after the collapse of the empire and the loss of the throne, Karl I's unsuccessful restoration annoyed and wary of the foreign powers, and under the threat and suppression of all sides, Otto's Erzherzogtum was forced to become Großherzog, no longer having the meaning of 'monarch'.

At that time, Köko's great-grandfather, the Imperial Sun Hubert, had not yet reconciled with the Habsburgs, and was not involved in this political maelstrom, but was able to preserve the pure 'Archduke of Austria' (Erzherzogtum Österreich).

In Chinese translations, both Erzherzogtum and Großherzog are translated as 'Grand Duke', but in fact they are superior and inferior, with Erzherzogtum being significantly taller than Großherzog. Therefore, the Archduke of Austria is the first title of the Habsburgs.

After Otto and Coko's grandfather Archduke Ludwig failed to compete for the 'Archduke of Austria', they had to change it to 'Archduke of Habsburg', but according to the compromise agreement at the time, his title would not be demoted, that's all, anyway, the title system in modern society is no longer rigorous.

George von has been operating in Hungary for many years and is very popular, he is the 'Grand Duke of the People' there, and many people call him the 'Grand Duke of Hungary' among the people and even the official. However, without official endorsement, it will always be a joke, and it can only be a folk.

George Von is now officially titled Earl, and at most he will be promoted to Marquis in the future, he dreams of becoming a real 'Grand Duke of Hungary', there is no way, it is good to leave the nobles, no matter how awesome he is, he is not exempt from vulgarity.

It's just that Daddy Otto is just a Großherzog, and he is not qualified to let his son become a Großherzog. Daddy's Erzherzogtum was also not eligible, because he was not the head of the House of Habsburg.

However, the merger of Erzherzogtum, Austria, and the Habsburg patriarch gave Georg von the opportunity to become Großherzog. If George von wants to make his dream come true, he can't let the Hungarian government send you a Großherzog, right? No one admitted it if it was given.

Under the pretext of restoring the title of Lord Chegren, the great-grandfather, Jesus demanded that Father Chry's father must seize power, precisely because the first three elements could only be done by combining the previous three elements.

.

This is Zhuo Yang's killer feature today, and everything he did before was to suppress George Feng's arrogance.

George Von fell into deep contemplation again.

The situation is pressing, and Zhuo Yang's conditions accurately hit George Feng's greatest weakness, fame and fortune are what he values the most, and they are also the dirt that can blind his soul the most. Only the profit will make the proud George Feng unable to let go of his figure, and fame alone is not enough to make the arrogant him bend down, and only the combination of fame and fortune can make George Feng lower his head.

"How can I trust you?" George said.

"You can only trust me." Zhuo Yang said: "Agree to the conditions of His Excellency the Austrian Grand Duke, and you will get everything you want, a knighthood and the opportunity to cooperate with EC Technology." Otherwise, you can only lose everything, including what you have now, and will lose in the future. ”

"I need the personal commitment of the Archduke of Austria."

"Of course, I'm just a messenger. You know, there are some things that are suitable for a messenger like me, but not for His Excellency the Grand Duke himself. When I get your promise today, there will be a memorandum from His Excellency that you will sign with him. ”

.

Li Xiaoqing sent Zhuo Yang to Zurich Airport, which reminded her of the parting at the airport eight years ago.

"Zhuo Yang, your performance today surprised me. You...... Grew up. ”

"It's an honor to be praised by the domineering female president."

"It's not serious again!" Xiaoqing said, "Zhuo Yang, call Sister Sheng to listen." ”

"Wishful thinking! In my eyes, you will always be a little girl. ”

"Get out!"

So, Zhuo Yang got out, and Xiaoqing couldn't say anything if he wanted to stay for one more day.

Zhuo Yang returned triumphantly from Zurich, while Real Madrid also returned from Croatia, although the score was only 1-0, Di Maria scored the only goal, but the three points were in hand.

However, Zhuo Yang's mouth was afraid that it was poisonous, and he reminded Marcelo to be cautious before the game, and Marcelo lived up to expectations and received a red card.
