Chapter 206: Bacon is pork
Muyang sent invitations widely, those who knew didn't know, anyway, as long as there were the number one people in London, Muyang sent invitations, as for whether the other party gave face, it was not in Muyang's consideration.
The reception was held at the Langham, the first luxury hotel in Europe, which was presented in 1865 with a magnificent appearance. Muyang chose this place for the cocktail party and chartered the entire banquet hall.
At the beginning of the day, people dressed in gorgeous clothes stepped out of the carriage and entered the grand banquet hall of the Langham Hotel.
"Count and Lady Grosvenor, thank you for the light." Mu Yang greeted him with a smile at the door.
"It is also our honor to have such an opportunity to have contact with Baron Williams, first of all, congratulations on your knighthood, and I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Count Groven's family also has a pharmaceutical industry, and he hopes to benefit from Muyang, a doctor of medicine.
There are a lot of people coming tonight, and many nobles have come with their children, especially those young girls, all dressed up beautifully, because many British aristocratic families have set their sights on Muyang, a single nobleman, the diamond-level king and the fifth king.
Due to the aristocratic reform in England, the government began to levy a high inheritance tax, so that many nobles who originally owned a large amount of land and estates, even if their children were able to inherit the title, many could not afford to inherit their family estate, and many of the current nobles have declined.
And Muyang, a recent aristocrat, is a real rich man, so rich that many people are blushing, and some people even hit Muyang with their ideas. Of course, they don't dare to kidnap or blackmail anything. It's just that he wants to marry his daughter through marriage. In order to fight for some benefits.
Mu Yang is dealing with these hypocritical nobles, but sometimes he has to deal with it, after all, he is already in this class.
Lady Dovia took her daughter away, this is the fifth, or the sixth, that Muyang has to deal with tonight, anyway, it's a lot.
Joseph's family has also become one of the protagonists of tonight, many people are surrounded by compliments, Muyang picked up a glass of wine and looked at the situation in the distance. Since you want to live an aristocratic life, you have to learn to adapt, Mu Yang pouted.
"Mr. Williams, I'm very sorry to disturb you at this time, and I hope to be able to find time to talk to you, because Spain is in a hurry."
Spanish envoy Carlos. Ferreira came to Muyang, he had been waiting for a long time, and finally found a free time for Muyang, and hurriedly came over and said.
“ok。 Now is the right time to take a break, let's find a place to smoke a cigarette. Muyang said.
This transaction with Spain is a big deal, and Muyang also attaches great importance to it, just for the price. Muyang has been stretching, and now look at Carlos. Ferreira's appearance, it should be time.
The two of them went to a break room. The waiter returned after delivering the coffee, and Muyang handed it to Carlos. Ferreira: a cigar. The two began the second round of communication.
"Mr. Williams, I have conveyed your request to Your Majesty. His Majesty's reply is that you can be granted the title of marquis, establish a factory and other conditions can be agreed, but about the matter of the fief, Your Majesty hopes to negotiate again, after all, the diplomatic relations involved are too complicated, and those lands are in Africa, even if they are given to you, you are useless, are you going to move your family to that desolate place in Africa, where the natives are very dishonest. ”
Mu Yang smiled when he heard this, "Then how did His Majesty Alfonso arrange it?" ”
"Give you a domestic fief, you can be allowed to operate by yourself, tax exemption for a hundred years, but there can be no army, of course, you can have the nobles' own escort team, which is also the right that the nobles should have."
Mu Yang thought about it for a while, and was not very satisfied with the last condition, if he didn't make it clear now, it would leave a lot of unclear things in the future, Mu Yang grabbed Spain's throat this time, but there is only one such opportunity, Mu Yang must seize it.
Muyang shook his head, "What I want is a piece of land that belongs completely to me, it must be completely belonging, and all rights belong to me." ”
Carlos. Ferreira's face showed embarrassment, Muyang's request was indeed too high, and no country would divide its own territory for no reason.
"I'll tell you what I think, I want to have a piece of land that belongs to me and build a home that is completely my own, it's that simple, so I want it to be a duke, a land that is completely my own, and as for the location, we can negotiate again."
Muyang very simply showed the bottom line, so that Carlos. Ferreira was shocked, this Dr. Williams, what a lion really opened his mouth, did he want to build his own country, oh my God, it was unbelievable.
If it were the 21st century, Muyang's idea would definitely be fantastical, but now it is 1918, the world has not yet been completely set, Muyang definitely has the opportunity, ability, and time to accomplish this feat, of course, he did all this for fun.
Haha, as a traveler, it is also a good choice to be able to play a management game.
"Is this your final bottom line?" Carlos. Ferreira said with a heavy expression.
"Yes."
"Well, I'll tell His Majesty the King, but please be prepared to go to Spain, especially for medicine, because Spain is really in a hurry." Carlos. Ferreira has already said twice that Spain is in a hurry.
"As long as the conditions are met, you can leave immediately."
Muyang was sure to reach it, and at the moment he had a smile on his face, but in Carlos. In Ferreira's eyes, this smile was more like a profiteer's smile, and now that Spain was pinched by the throat, Muyang had their life-saving things in his hands, so he could only bow his head and admit it.
Carlos. Ferreira left with a heavy heart, and Muyang refreshed his spirits again and returned to the reception.
"Baron Williams, it's a pleasure to meet you, what a gentleman you are."
"Lady Sophia, your beauty is the best in England, and I'm glad you enjoyed tonight's reception."
At this moment, Muyang is chatting with a famous widowed countess in London, but this 25-year-old Mrs. Sophia is extremely beautiful, with snow-white skin, a slender neck, and a full chest, revealing the unique charm of a mature woman.
"You just said that you like Bacon's paintings, and I happen to have one at home, so if you have time, you can come to my house and we will enjoy it together." Mrs. Sophia said.
"Really, that's great, I can't wait."
"If you're not tired tonight, I invite you to come to my place for a cup of coffee." Madame Sophia's eyes are charming.
"I think I'm still young, but I think it would be better if I could have a glass of wine."
In the bedroom of Mrs. Sophia's villa, two men and women with Chiguo are struggling to communicate on the bed, Bacon's famous painting, Muyang only knows that bacon is pork, as for painting, he doesn't know anything at all.
The next day, Muyang boarded a cruise ship to Spain. (To be continued......)
