Chapter 1477: The Duke of Bede

The Duke of Bed.

The Duke is tending the herd of elk that his parents raised at the legendary Ubbon Temple estate.

Before Ubang Temple transferred the elk to major parks in the UK during World War II, it was the only place in the world that had a herd of elk.

After World War II, the Duke of Bed XII, who inherited his father's career, felt that the world was impermanent.

In order to avoid putting all eggs in the same basket, the elk herds are transferred to various zoos so that they have a better chance of breeding.

But Ubang Temple still maintains the number of ethnic groups, and because of its mature technology and rich breeding experience, it has made a lot of money.

Therefore, sometimes after-sales are more profitable than sales.

The Russell family, which holds the title of Duke of Bed, has a relationship with the Grand Duke family of Luxembourg from the Tudor dynasty.

That's a long story, and the relationship has actually faded.

In modern times, because Luxembourg joined the Commonwealth, the relationship between the two sides has become closer, and Bader has also become one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Luxembourg family's private funds.

It can get 3 to 5 million dividends from the fund every year, which is an astronomical figure even for a duke.

With this money, whether it is to repair the manor, maintain decent expenses, or expand the family business and broaden the network, it is more than enough.

Let me ask how the Duke of Bede can bear the inexplicable loss of 'his' money.

Habits are terrible, like the Duke of Bader who thinks the money is 'his'.

"Your Excellency, the head of the Public Relations Department of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce is here to visit." The butler said to the Duke who was feeding the elk.

"Hasn't he already convinced Attlee, what else is he doing here?" Bede XII asked casually.

The butler said softly, "They came to visit you specially."

Bede XII smiled disdainfully; "I'm a down-and-out duke, why should I care?"

That being said, Bede XII asked the butler to invite people to the parlor.

But it's not the main living room, but the side hall next to it, which is used to entertain ordinary guests.

The living room is very particular, and only the host considers the honorable guests to officially open the main living room.

Generally, such places are closed and idle, and it takes time to prepare each time they open.

This is why when visiting the master in the West, one must notify two or three days in advance.

The place where the other party receives you can also make the guest clearly aware of their position in the other party's heart.

That doesn't make sense to the minister, he doesn't need the respect of Duke Bede.

This time he came here just to tell the other party that no matter what he thinks, that money has nothing to do with him from now on.

As for being an enemy or a friend, it depends on his own choice.

Seeing Bede XII walking in in a horse suit, the Minister smiled and stepped forward to bow.

The other party's rudeness seemed ridiculous to him, and it also confirmed his thoughts. The other party could only use small means such as side halls and horse clothes to express their protests.

Since Bede VIII, the influence of the Russell family in the political world has been declining.

Now they only occupy two seats in the parliament, but they are quite popular among the nobles.

But what does it matter? With the help of real money, the so-called noble alliance is nothing but an embroidered pillow.

That's right, they can keep blocking Mrs. Li and making little trouble.

But I will also feel uncomfortable, and lose the biggest source of income, and stand on the opposite side of a big man who is rich and powerful.

Then accept the gift from the other party,

be friends.

Still waiting for the other party to strike from the economic and political aspects, I believe they will make the right judgment.

Seeing Bede XII sitting down arrogantly, staring at himself with bright eyes, as if waiting for him to speak.

The minister smiled, took out an envelope from his pocket, pushed it in front of him and said, "This is Mr. Li's wish. He sincerely wants to maintain friendship with His Excellency the Duke."

"Sincerity?" Duke Bede didn't even look at it, he raised his eyelids and laughed, "Then he shouldn't make stupid decisions."

"Your Excellency, why don't you take a look first." The minister pushed the envelope again.

Bede XII stood up as if he was insulted: "No, I think you've stayed here long enough, see off the guests."

The other party was so stubborn and ignorant, which the minister did not expect.

Putting the envelope away, the smile on the minister's face disappeared: "Your Excellency, I will pass on your decision to Mr. Li, and hope that we will still have a pleasant meeting next time."

It is impossible to be happy, Bede XII is determined to fight against Li.

The action against his company was suppressed by the public relations department with thunderous means, but he had other methods.

Cutting off people's money is like revenge for killing their father. For King Bede XII, Li Zitao was the shameful thief who robbed him of his billions of dollars.

In business, he may not be the opponent of the other party, but don't forget that he also has a son in the UK, and he wants to marry the crown prince beyond his control.

"You will regret it." Bede XII murmured coldly.

...

"What did Befort say?" Luxembourg, Grand Duke looked at Li Zitao who hung up the phone and asked.

"He rejected my offer." Li Zitao shrugged indifferently.

"I knew it." The Grand Duke had a gloomy expression. Seeing that he didn't care, he couldn't help reminding; "Don't forget Mason."

Li Zitao said affirmatively: "I don't think he has the ability to influence the decision of the royal family."

"He didn't, but he was able to find a way from tradition and royal laws to put pressure on the royal family."

Compared with the Grand Duke, Li Zitao still knows too little about the royal family.

They have their own set of traditions and laws, not everything is done according to the constitution.

In particular, inheritance and marriage within the royal family has its own set of operating rules.

Hearing what the Grand Duke said, Li Zitao became a little uncertain, but he believed more in the relationship between Elizabeth and Mason.

But the truth was far more troublesome than he had imagined, and the trouble came sooner than expected.

Three days later, Elizabeth received a call from Buckingham Palace.

"They demanded that Mason must give up his American citizenship and become a permanent British citizen." Elizabeth mentioned the royal family's notice after dinner.

The call was from her mother, which Elizabeth fought hard for, but said it was an opinion within the royal family.

Mason must give up his current nationality, and the future husband must be British, so that the people will identify with the royal family.

The current royal family is also walking on eggshells.

I believe that no member of the royal family wants to be a miserable king like Louis XIV.

Regardless of the reason for the revolution, the head of the royal family will be the first to be shattered.

As the most concerned royal family today, there is no one.

Windsor's every move must always be cautious. The old days when one could not dare to obey the king's orders are gone forever.
