Chapter 179: Noble Status Is Chicken Ribs?

"Yi, don't look at the nobility now, it seems that they have no rights, but in the land of Europe, the nobility still has huge power. In the future, when you walk around Europe and do business, a noble title can bring you a lot of invisible help. ”

"And it's not such a casual decision to give you a noble title, you have a lot of net worth now, just revealing nearly 10 billion, and the treasures in your treasure trove, adding up to at least tens of billions of net worth, and your net worth will continue to improve, so it's nothing to grant you the title of a lifelong nobleman." Merris heard the subtlety in Lin Yi's words, and then said to Lin Yi very seriously.

"So, I suggest, you'd better agree to this deal, it's only good for you, it's not bad for you, getting a noble name is a very good deal for you, now in Europe, especially in England, those old nobles are very rigid, although you have money, you can enter their circle, but they will look down on you, thinking that your identity is a little different, with such a reputation is different. And you are also a rich man, now money is nothing to you, after reaching this level, the focus is on reputation and identity, just like Bill Gates, who donated a lot of money to Britain for a title, and Li Chaoren in Hong Kong, who also did a lot to get such a title, and is not a lifelong nobleman like you, their cost is many times higher than the value of your pearls, so you don't lose money on this transaction. ”

Merris said a lot of things, which made Lin Yi a little stunned, but the only thing he understood was that this transaction was definitely worth it.

Lin Yi absolutely believed Merris's words, but he had never known much about aristocracy.

However, Bill Gates and Li Chaoren obtained the titles, and Lin Yi still understands it.

Lin Yi said: "Since you have come to be a lobbyist, I will definitely agree." ”

"Don't get cheap and sell well, and look like you give me face. You guy don't know where the good luck came from, my family's hereditary marquis or the ancestor killed back from the battlefield, I don't know how much blood was shed at the time, but you guy just got a lifelong noble title so simply, but seriously, your luck is really good, just such a good time to get the pearl. Merris scolded with a smile, her tone full of envy.

"Cut, isn't it just a lifelong nobleman, your family is still a hereditary marquis, what is there to envy. Lin Yi pouted, my brother has so much money in his hands, and he will be even richer in the future, and when I am rich, the British will naturally award me a medal.

With a gold finger in hand, you are so confident.

Don't think about it, the House of Lords Act 1999 abolished almost all the seats of hereditary nobility in the House of Lords, and basically stopped the canonization of hereditary nobility, knowing that the most recent canonization of Barons in Britain was granted to Dennis Thatcher, the husband of the late former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, in 1990. Except, of course, the members of the royal family, who are still canonized all the time, but can you compare yourself to them? Of course, your lifelong nobleman has no right to become a member of the House of Lords, just a name. Merris shook her head, helpless.

Life nobility is a non-hereditary title of nobility created under the Life Noble Act 1958 to replace hereditary nobility, and after the passage of the House of Lords Act 1999, the United Kingdom has widely granted life titles of nobility so that those who have been disqualified can remain in the House of Lords. Life nobility is often awarded to politicians, such as the late former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who was awarded a life nobility in 1992. And in 2012, the Chinese Wei Mingen was also awarded a lifetime nobility because his adviser to Prime Minister Cameron was required to promote the government's reform plan in the House of Lords. However, lifetime nobility is also awarded to business leaders and theatrical figures, and Webb, the author of "Cats", is also a lifetime nobleman.

It sounds as if this lifelong aristocrat doesn't seem to have anything, it feels as if anyone can be anything, and this only right is forbidden, but for those old antiques, a non-Englishman and an upstart became an aristocrat, and the resistance can be imagined.

"I feel like buying an official with money, it always feels a little weird, by the way, what timing are you talking about?" Lin Yi asked.

And this buying a knighthood always gives Lin Yi the feeling that the old British lady is Heshen.

"The queen likes your things, you can't buy them for a long time, and the British economy has been a little weak recently, so they want to attract a lot of investors to invest in the UK by giving you a knighthood for this newly rich man, otherwise how can you become a nobleman so easily as a non-Englishman. But you're not satisfied, really, hey, I don't even know what to say. ”

"I see, but I don't want to invest in the UK. Lin Yi said.

"It's all said, as long as your pearls don't need you to do anything else, but you don't have the qualifications to enter the House of Lords for life, understand!" Merris said a little tired, others were very happy to get the title of this nobleman, but Lin Yi was worried about this, and he didn't care about the nobleman, and he wanted to drag Lin Yi out on the other end of the phone and beat him.

"Got it,"

......

"Dawson, Britain is going to give me a knighthood," after Lin Yi hung up the phone, he told Dawson all the situation in a loud voice, and asked Dawson to analyze and analyze it for him, because he really didn't understand this nobleman.

"Sir, this is a very good thing to become a nobleman, but it is not of much use to you, according to the Chinese, this is chicken ribs, tasteless food, it is a pity to abandon it."

The person who called you should be a British aristocrat, so he knows and agrees with the British aristocracy very well, and he said it well, but he ignored one point, which is that you are in the United States and not the United Kingdom.

In the UK, there is some use for this title. But in the United States, if you look at which super-rich family has become an aristocracy, Morgan, Rockefeller Mellon, etc., Bill Gates's unsubstantiated rich man does not count. In the United States, money and connections are recognized, and of course, this is common all over the world.

So unless you move all your business to the United States, this is not much use at all, but it is still somewhat useful for you, the newly rich man, at least they will not see you as an upstart, fame and identity are the most important thing for the super-rich, and a luminous pearl should be nothing to you, overall, writing a transaction is to make some money. ”

Dawson looked at the little boss in front of him and sighed a little, what kind of luck is this, how much did it cost others to get the knighthood, but he got it so easily, and he sent it to the door.

Although it is not very useful, it can be used to the greatest extent to silence others from saying that he is an upstart, which in Dawson's opinion this deal is profitable.
