Chapter 254: Accept an Earl as a Younger Brother
"Hey, this guy, what's the background?"
After Huang Tianshun made arrangements, Yang Huan looked at Charlene Laheri strangely.
For no reason, how could a dignified duke come to the door on his own initiative?
Charlene Laheri slapped her forehead hard and shook her head.
This guy came to the UK to do business, but he didn't know anything about the British upper class, and he didn't even want to know about it at all, and entered the British upper class. He and Abramovich are completely different people.
The Russians have sharpened their heads and are going to drill into the upper class.
If you don't see him, he almost thinks of himself as an Englishman now.
"There are 20 dukes in Britain, 10 of them belong to the royal family, and the other 10 are hereditary descendants from other high-ranking nobles. The Duke of Westminster is one of them. The family history is said to be traced back to William the Conqueror. era."
"William the Conqueror?" Yang Huan looked blank.
In the end, he simply spread out his hands and looked like a ruffian.
"Well, I admit, I don't know the history of your empire on which the sun never sets."
Charlene Laheri glared at him angrily, because she felt that Yang Huan's statement that the sun never sets the empire was a little teasing.
However, many British people do still have such imperial fantasies.
"About a thousand years ago."
"Oh." Yang Huan understood.
But I was a little shocked in my heart, an old aristocrat who has inherited it for a thousand years.
Wow, a complete British aristocrat.
"Has it never been broken in the middle?" Yang Huan was surprised, it's been more than a thousand years.
"What's the meaning?"
Yang Huan chuckled, "I mean, this family has been passed down for more than a thousand years?"
This is incredible.
According to normal logic, a thousand-year-old family is so huge.
"How do I know?" Charlene Laheri replied angrily, "I don't specialize in this."
After a pause, she continued: "The real prosperous of their family is only in the past two hundred years. It has been passed down to him. It happens to be six generations. Who knows what is the relationship with the nobles of William the Conqueror?"
Listening to her tone, it seems that he is not very cold to the Duke.
"Why do you give me the feeling that you don't seem to like this person very much?"
Charlene Laheri shrugged, "Although he always advertises himself as a gentleman and a model husband, in fact, he is not a good person. During his tenure as Assistant Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Defense, newspapers published him four times in six weeks. **** scandal."
Who knows, Yang Huan laughed when he heard it, "This person is interesting, I like it!"
What he dislikes the most is the kind of guy who advertises himself as a gentleman and a gentleman.
On the surface, this kind of person is a gentleman, but behind the scenes he often does all kinds of nasty things.
On the contrary, this kind of flawed person is more real.
But in Charlene Laheri's point of view, Yang Huan's smell is similar to his.
"goat!"
Yang Huan didn't explain, and still smiled, "Tell me more."
Charlene Laherine pouted, she didn't want Yang Huan to wait to make a fool of herself, so she continued.
"He is the richest man in the UK, he used to be a senior government official, and he is a very close friend of Prince Charles, and his wife is Prince William's godmother, and his eldest daughter is married to Prince Charles' adopted son."
Yang Huan nodded involuntarily.
Many people say that the British royal family has nothing to do, even only symbolic.
But in fact, the royal family's relationship network still spreads all over the UK.
"What is he doing with you?" Charlene Laheri was a little curious.
Yang Huan shrugged, "How do I know?"
At the end, he smiled proudly, "Maybe, he sees me as handsome and wants to marry his daughter to me?"
"Oh, by the way, does he still have a daughter?"
Charlene Laheri almost burst out laughing.
You want to be someone else's son-in-law without even knowing if they have a daughter?
Do you have one like you?
However, she refused to answer Yang Huan's question.
Yang Huan stood up, "You accompany me to see him."
"Me?" Charlene Laheri was a little surprised.
"Yeah, I don't know all the etiquette of your British, of course you are going with me!"
When Yang Huan said this, Charlene Laheri really couldn't refuse.
"Then... let's go!"
She was really trembling.
That's a duke.
Yang Huan had a calm expression on his face. Under the gazes of the people around him, he walked into the lobby of Wangjiang Pavilion and went directly to the second floor.
On the passage to the box on the second floor, a group of people approached.
The head is a big fat man.
Seeing him, a word popped into Yang Huan's mind, Roshan.
He's definitely one of those fat people who walks panting.
But the voice is very loud, especially the laughter is very rich, with a kind of high-ranking momentum.
But Yang Huan usually ignores this so-called momentum.
His logic is also very simple, I don't owe you anything, and I don't ask you anything, so there is no need to be afraid of you!
"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan!" The Duke of Westminster on the opposite side stretched out his big fleshy palm from a distance.
Yang welcomed him up, "Hello, Lord Duke!"
The two happened to shake hands at the door of the box.
"Hello, Miss Laheri!" The Duke of Westminster greeted Charlene Laheri behind Yang Huan.
But it looked like he just nodded and smiled, keeping his distance a little deliberately.
"Sit inside!" Yang Huan reached out and asked.
The two entered the box.
The Duke of Westminster's entourage and bodyguard stood outside the door consciously. Charlene Laheri hesitated for a moment, and then walked in. She listened to Yang Huan's words.
The Duke of Westminster saw Charlene Laheri walking in, and then looked at Yang Huan, nodding and smiling if he got something.
Soon there was a waiter who immediately delivered the authentic Dahongpao, which was airlifted from China.
Yang Huan asked the waiter to leave and began to make tea. It didn't take long for the aroma of the tea to overflow.
"I don't know what the Duke has to do with me?" Yang Huan brought a cup of tea in front of him and asked with a smile.
As the saying goes, go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything.
Yang Huan doesn't like dealing with people who need to raise their heads to speak, so he doesn't usually have much contact with nobles.
He believes that people will not come to the door for no reason.
"In fact, it's nothing. I believe Mr. Yang Huan also knows that many Londoners have chosen to live in the suburbs in recent years. Southampton, which is only an hour's drive from London, has become the choice of many people, so the development potential here is not small."
Yang Huan nodded.
"I recently received news that Mr. Yang Huan plans to build a marine football stadium and an underwater hotel in Southampton. It just so happens that Southampton is interested in transforming the old town along the Yichen River, so I will come here. La!"
He spoke very lightly.
But when Yang Huan heard it, he felt that this guy was indeed well-connected.
I'm afraid Terry Matthews, the new mayor of Southampton, has a good relationship with him.
As a real estate developer, how could it be possible without some government resources?
Soon, Yang Huan thought of another question.
St. Mary's is right on the banks of the Ichin River, he said, doesn't it...
"Mr. Yang Huan, I believe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!"
Yang Huan shrugged, he really didn't have much interest in real estate development.
Although he bought some properties in London before and became a charter company, he would still consider selling it once the value appreciated.
As for running real estate...
Haven't heard that the reason why Arsenal compete for fourth place every year is because they almost went bankrupt because of real estate?
"Mr. Yang Huan, I heard that you Southampton plan to recruit a thousand members?"
"Well, there is a plan." Yang Huan was a little strange, but nodded and replied.
"I have three daughters and one son. The only son is 21 years old. He doesn't have a good job and has no talent, but I've been very interested in you and your Southampton recently, so I want to ask if you can help me reserve a place for he?"
Yang Huan is a little funny, is this here to go through the back door?
"Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no other intentions."
The Duke of Westminster seemed to be afraid of Yang Huan's misunderstanding, and quickly explained.
"Although my boy is the same age as you, he only knows how to spend money and doesn't want to do anything else. I am the only son. He is now the Earl of Grosvenor, and will become the Duke of Westminster in the future. family business."
Yang Huan was puzzled, why are you telling me so much?
I have absolutely no interest in your family affairs, nor in your son or your daughter.
Generally speaking, nobles are in political marriages, and their wives are not very beautiful, and their daughters are certainly not beautiful.
Our young master is only interested in beautiful women.
"I hope that after he joined the Southampton fan meeting, Mr. Yang Huan can help me to give him a little more advice, teach him more, and hope that he can achieve something in the future, then I must be very grateful!"
Now Yang Huan understood.
The duke sent his son to be my little brother!
Wow, go, still an earl!
I, Yang Huan, want to accept an English earl as my younger brother?
That's too cool, isn't it?
interesting!
"I don't dare to say anything about it, but to be honest, I'm holding this fan meeting mainly to gather a group of die-hard Southampton fans, let's get together, think about the future, plan for life, it's better to have some There is a future with a future to do.”
Charlene Laheri almost burst out laughing.
Your eldest young master didn't even think about what this member wants to do, and even said that he wanted to think about the future and plan his life?
Too bullshit?
The Duke of Westminster couldn't help nodding, "Well, then I believe that it will definitely help to have him join."
"Then I'll leave a spot!"
"No!" The Duke of Westminster shook his head immediately, "It's three positions.
"Three?" Yang Huan was a little strange.
"I heard that Prince William intends to join the club, His Royal Highness Charles means, let Prince Harry join the club too!"
Yang Huan really felt that his body was shaken, and the arrogance of the bastard soared.
Originally, he just wanted to pull Prince William over to make a sign, but who knew he would even buy one get one free.
Think about it, Prince William and Prince Harry have both become core members of Southampton. If Prince William takes office in the future, wouldn't Southampton become Royal Southampton?
That's good, at least it's the only team in the UK to be crowned Royal.
Oh no, one more, Queens Park Rangers.
But they also have no royal title!
Although a title has no substantive meaning, it just feels awesome when you hear it.
Think about it, Royal Southampton and Southampton, which one is more bullish?
Of course the former!
"Okay, then I'll leave three places!"
Yang Huan now has a good impression of the Duke of Westminster, but he still has to do business.
"But, Lord Duke, let's talk about it first. It's just these three. It can't be more, and it can't be made public."
The Duke of Westminster is a person. Hearing this, he immediately laughed and nodded, "Understood!"
This time, the look in Yang Huan's eyes was different.
This thing is rare and expensive. If anyone can join the club with a recommendation, then the club will be worthless.
Yang Huan has his own criteria and considerations for recruiting members.
Even, Yang Huan had a rough idea about what to do with this meeting.
You can't collect 100,000 pounds a year in dues and do nothing, right?
"To be honest, Mr. Yang Huan, are you really sure that with the influence of Southampton, you can attract a thousand members to pay the annual membership fee of 100,000 pounds?" The Duke of Westminster is still a little worried about this. .
When everyone heard this, almost all shook their heads.
The reason is very simple, what Manchester United and Arsenal can't do, you are a Championship team, why do you do it?
Do you have this kind of appeal and attraction?
Yang Huan also told the truth.
"To be honest, I didn't think about it so much, but I just tried it. Of course, it's the best. If you don't have it, don't rush it for a while. If you can't make it this year, you can continue next year. in a hurry!" ()
