Chapter 51: The arrogant rich second generation
Although the Earl of Soros of the British Empire is only an earl, in terms of aristocratic ranking, he can only be said to be a middle-class nobleman, but his wealth is beyond the reach of many other higher-class nobles.
Soros's British trading company is involved in ocean shipping, banking and finance, tobacco sales and other industries, among which tobacco sales occupy more than seven layers of the entire empire market. Thanks to the huge accumulation of wealth, Soros's position in the British Empire is also quite prominent, although he does not hold any imperial public office, but it is indeed an important business brain of the Queen of the British Empire.
Such a business predator came to Paradise Island to build a company, which will indeed play a very big role in promoting the commercial development of the island.
Rockefeller gushed to me about Soros's various deeds, which will inevitably have some exaggerated mythological elements, since ancient times this is a very normal phenomenon, once a person has achieved great success in a certain aspect, then often his past words and deeds will be regarded as a golden rule, all kinds of touting and various halos will follow, it is not an exaggeration to say that you may fart casually, and people will also be wondering whether it contains any unfathomable meaning.
While Rockefeller was talking, a young man dressed luxuriously and with a hairstyle that could be worth 100 million walked over surrounded by a bunch of men.
Rockefey whispered to me, "He was the manager of the Island Tobacco Company, supposedly the nephew of Soros, named Mathieson." ”
Mattheeson walked up to me, looked me up and down, and said, "You're the manager of the rum distillery?" ”
I nodded, and Mathieson said with some disdain: "It looks like a turtle, do you know business operations?" Forget it, I definitely don't understand the way you look, but if you're lucky, Young Master Ben's company will open next to you, if you can't hold on one day, come and beg Young Master Ben, I'll just take some pocket money and buy it for you. ”
Since ancient times, it makes sense that there are only three generations of poor and only three generations of rich, and I have never seen Soros, but judging from this Mathiessen's face, I don't believe that he can run a company well. But after all, he is also a real rich second generation, and I don't want to have a conflict with him as soon as I come up, so I have to pretend to be cowardly and say: "Yes, yes, I am just a native of the island, and it is all thanks to the Duke Jackson's appreciation that I sat in the position of the manager of this winery, and I will have to learn from you and learn from you in the future." ”
"Can you learn?" Mattheeson asked rhetorically, "It's not me saying, talent is really not useful if you work hard, and people sometimes have to accept their fate." ”
I tried my best to restrain my emotions, and the arrogance of this grandson, intentional or unintentional, when he spoke, was really not enough to cut him a hundred times.
At this time, Mathieson suddenly saw Long Xin'er in the distance, his eyes immediately lit up, and he asked me, "That girl is also from your winery?" ”
I nodded, "Well, that's my lady." ”
"Your lady?" Matthieson was a little incredulous and said, "You can still marry such a beauty?" Tut-tut, the beauty of the East just has a different charm, but it's a pity that the eyesight is a little worse. ”
I thought I might not be able to resist the urge to hit him if we continued to talk like this, so I turned to leave, but Mathieson stopped me and said, "What can you do in a hurry to go back to this winery?" In this way, we will be neighbors in the future, I will have a banquet at the Island Hotel tonight, how about you and your wife have a meal together? ”
I looked at the ill-will in Mathieson's eyes, and the straight eyes that could not be removed from Long Xin'er, and instantly understood this grandson's intentions, I pretended to hesitate and said: "Oh, logically speaking, I shouldn't refuse your invitation, but what, the winery has a little financial crisis now, I have to hurry back and find a way to deal with it, otherwise as soon as the winery goes bankrupt, we will only be neighbors for a day." ”
Mattheeson didn't wait for me to say, and immediately said impatiently: "What financial crisis?" How much money do you lack, can Master Ben lend it to you? ”
I thought to myself that this grandson was really hopeless, and before I had even dug the pit, he was in a hurry to jump into it, and I said, "Oh, that's right, we are going to mass produce now, and we are probably short of five hundred pounds of funding." ”
"I'll lend it to you!" Mattheson said without hesitation while looking at Long Xin'er playing in the distance. After just a few seconds, he saw that I didn't answer, so he immediately urged his subordinates to go back and get the money, for fear that I would regret it.
Soon five hundred pounds was in my hands, and his grandmother's rich second generation regarded money as dung, and for an imperial family, a whole year's income seemed like a joke to them. I took the money, secretly happy in my heart, the money to buy the cola formula is settled, although I was embarrassed to take advantage of Long Xin'er, but the girl was followed by four guards, and the two maids were not vegetarians, Mathiesen's wine bag and rice bag should not take advantage, besides, I also have the heart to test Long Xin'er's bottom through Mathieson, I want to see what this girl is staying on this island for. 、
So we agreed to go to the Island Hotel for dinner in the evening, and according to Mathieson's wishes, we couldn't wait to go immediately, but at the moment the sun was still hanging high, and we couldn't go to dinner in the middle of the afternoon.
After returning to the winery, I quickly called Long Xin'er and briefly talked to him, of course, I definitely didn't mention the matter of five hundred pounds, but said that the new owner of the tobacco company wanted to invite us to dinner, and Long Xin'er was also very happy, and responded in one bite.
After Long Xin'er left, Rockefeller came out of nowhere, and he asked me, "Why did you cheat five hundred pounds from Matthison?" Do you know that he has bad intentions towards his wife? ”
I said, "What is that called?" Where did I lie to him? Isn't it true that the winery is short of money right now? Besides, what proof do you have that he has bad intentions towards Madame? Just because he looked at his wife twice? Little comrade, you can't look at others with colored glasses, although they are a rich second generation who doesn't learn and don't know how to do it, but they also have a bottom line and dignity. ”
Rockefeller shook his head, "Manager, you actually understand everything. I would like to remind you that while I want to get the distillery up and running as quickly as possible, I am more convinced that no man should sell his woman for money. ”
Rockefeller's words made me a little annoyed, this unfortunate boy took the initiative to carry Long Xin'er to my bed, I haven't settled accounts with him, but now he has come to teach me a lesson, I pointed in the direction of the door and said, "It's like a ray, how far and how far it rolls." ”
Soon night has fallen, Long Xin'er put on a dress and took the initiative to come to me, although this girl is just without makeup, I think there is still a little gap with Su Yuliu and Lin Ruyi, but she has a unique classical beauty temperament, which is a special feeling that can be felt, but cannot be spoken.
We're ready, Mattheeson has already exaggerated the entire island hotel, and his men are coming over from time to time to urge us that a weird dinner is about to begin.
