Chapter 229 Her Royal Highness’s Dowry

"Your Excellency." Li Zitao, who was waiting at the airport, took off his hat and nodded. After greeting other family members, the group boarded the car happily.

"I heard from Mary that your engagement ceremony will be held on the 17th after the New Year?" the Grand Duke asked about the details of the ceremony.

"Yes." Li Zitao nodded and smiled.

Adelaide said before that she would be fully responsible for handling this matter. She said that the 17th was the 17th.

"Why put it in St. Peter and St. Paul's Cathedral instead of St. John?" the Grand Duke asked with a slight frown.

"Mother, St. John belongs to the Knights." Adelaide replied unhurriedly.

"I know, but—" the Grand Duke hesitated to speak, and finally chose to remain silent.

"Sister, can I see your wedding dress in advance?" Seeing that her mother stopped talking, the little princess Alex, who was sitting on the left side of the Grand Duke, asked.

"Of course, but it's being shipped from Country Y, and I'll let you know as soon as it arrives." While speaking, the car stopped in front of No. 112 Dearborn Street.

"Is this the place where you will live in the future? It looks so beautiful." Although it is not as majestic and wide as the Grand Duke's Castle.

But this villa sitting on the coastline also has its own unique charm.

"It's only temporary. I'm building the manor on Harrison Street in the north, but it's not finished yet."

"Charlie also plans to build a castle that belongs to us in the future." Adelaide interjected appropriately, making the family look at him with satisfaction.

And little Mary is the envy of Chi Guoguo, "Obviously I got to know her first."

At this moment, she had long forgotten that the reason for reminding Li Zitao at that time was to create a chance for him and his sister to get acquainted.

"We have to go to London as soon as possible to carry out your award ceremony." Adelaide took his arm, slowed down and said softly at the end.

"Oh, what is it?" Li Zitao asked curiously.

"Charlie Lee—His Excellency the Marquis." Adelaide covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Marquis?" This is really beyond Li Zitao's imagination. Could it be that the relationship between Luxembourg and the royal family of Y is really close friends?

"Luxembourg will give up its neutral status and choose to join the upcoming Y Federation." Adelaide's words solved the mystery in his mind.

"Westminster Act", there will be one more member than in the previous life.

News about the upcoming establishment of the Commonwealth of Nations was being circulated non-stop in the newspapers, and Li Zitao was about to vomit during this period of time.

"Your Excellency, is it for?" If Adelaide said it was all for him, even if Li Zitao didn't believe it, it would be a big debt of favor.

The Commonwealth of Nations has no right to rule in name, and each country has independent sovereignty, but it can be regarded as an alliance of interest groups in the final analysis.

In the eyes of outsiders, such as country D, they are a whole.

Abandoning neutrality and joining the Y Federation will not be of any benefit to Luxembourg now.

"The threat of nacui thinking is spreading,

Feeling threatened, the mother just took this opportunity to become an ally of country Y. "

Adelaide is very smart, and she didn't attribute all the reasons to him, but instead focused on the "threat", and briefly mentioned the help to him.

"Good wife!" Li Zitao was delighted.

"Mary, where are the things you brought?" The Grand Duke suddenly said to Adelaide when everyone was seated in the living room.

"Here, mother." Adelaide took a long wooden box from the hand of the maid beside her.

Opening it in front of Li Zitao, a roll of paper came into view.

"This is Luxembourg's dowry for Mary." The Grand Duke said indifferently.

Under Adelaide's proud eyes, Li Zitao untied the red silk thread on it, and slowly opened the roll.

"Hiss—" Looking at the black and white writing on it, Li Zitao felt like he was dreaming.

Albert, one of the European steel giants.

This giant company established and controlled by Luxembourg occupies an absolutely important position in the European steel industry.

Since 1858, Luxembourg built the first coke steelmaking blast furnace, and since then began the legend of the steel kingdom.

In 1897, the famous Kerr Christ invented a new way to deal with the phosphorus-containing components of limonite ore here.

Improve smelting quality while reducing smelting costs and enhance Luxembourg's competitiveness in the steel industry.

The dephosphorized slag is a high-quality fertilizer, which greatly increases domestic agricultural output.

In 1912, Luxembourg held three large domestic steel companies and merged to form Albeid Steel Group.

So far, Albeid has become one of the largest steel groups in Europe.

Historically, Luxembourg has always been an important traffic route between D and F. It has an extremely important geographical location and is even called Northern Gibraltar.

Occupying geographical advantages, advanced metallurgy technology, a large amount of iron ore resources in the country, and favorable policies, Luxembourg has also become the first choice for many European steel companies to settle down.

They successively transferred the company to Luxembourg, allowing this small country, which is really small, to gradually have the climate of a steel kingdom.

The Albeid Company is located in the Principality of Luxembourg and is the leader of many steel companies.

What he is holding in his hand is Albert's equity transfer document.

30% of the shares, as long as the signature is signed, it will be his from the next second.

This style is exactly the same as his before, domineering sideways.

Li Zitao was suddenly a little shy. If he signed it, would he become a bad boy?

Albeid's current market value is 4 billion francs, which is about 1 billion U.S. dollars.

In terms of market value alone, it is much higher than Li Zitao's Blue and White Chamber of Commerce.

"Is this the surprise you said?" Li Zitao looked at Adelaide, and the princess's fair neck was raised again, making her beautiful collarbone look even more sexy.

"Thank you for your generosity." Thanking the Grand Duke, Li Zitao generously signed his name.

This refreshing gesture made everyone smile happily.

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke, Your Highness the Prince and Princess, my lord, dinner is ready." Hogg walked over and said with a nod.

"Hogg, help me put it in the study." Hand over the symbolic contract to Hogg, and the specific agreement will be signed and signed by the lawyers of both parties.

At the dining table, everyone was chatting happily, and the relationship between them seemed to become closer and more harmonious.

The smile on Li Zitao's face has never faded. He has almost forgotten this feeling of home since he came to this world.

"It would be even more perfect if we had another pair of children." Thinking of this, Li Zitao leaned his head close to Adelaide's ear and whispered softly.

After a while, everyone stopped communicating and looked at Adelaide whose face changed from blushing to surprised to annoyed. They were very curious about what the two were talking about.
