Chapter 360 This Grand Duke is not that Grand Duke

The traditional aristocrats actually look down on the new capital upstarts and craftsmen from the bottom of their hearts. All their politeness and politeness are just derived from the self-cultivation and education they received since childhood, and are hypocritical and pretentious.

In the eyes of George Feng, who is deeply proud of his origin, Li Xiaoqing, the China behind her, and the vulgar United States are the nouveau riche in today's world, with nothing but money. He was able to sit down and discuss business with Li Xiaoqing solely for the sake of making money.

Zhuoyang's friend Xiao Haiyang once said: The bullshit nobles are all a bunch of bumpkins. If we really talk about aristocrats, only China has a nobility that has lasted for five thousand years. The others are all nouveau riche who won the lottery.

Of course, George Feng would not agree with Haiyang's point of view.

George Feng treats Zhuo Yang no differently than an actor. Athletes, pianists, actors, singers, and models are all just actors for the entertainment of the upper class.

The strong and sensitive self-esteem of the aristocrat made George Feng unable to stand down in front of the aggressive Zhuo Yang and Li Xiaoqing. He would rather give up huge interests and the opportunity to become a Hungarian Internet business tycoon than refuse.

He is such an impulsive character and likes to vent his anger, otherwise why would Old Grand Duke Otto give up on him. George Feng is very capable, but he lacks the vision and structure of Otto, Copa, and his nephew Thomas. He is just a businessman driven by ambition, not a family man.

The arrogance of the Chinese severely damaged George Feng's self-esteem.

.

"Zhuoyang, I reject the conditions proposed by you and the Archduke of Austria. President Li, I regret that I cannot cooperate with you. That's it."

George believed that his refusal would leave Zhuo Yang and Li Xiaoqing helpless. He wanted to see the two of them disappointed, so as to regain a city from their self-esteem. As for the huge loss of profits and the unpredictable risk of family strife, that is a story for later.

"Zhuoyang, I know that you are so enthusiastic about the internal affairs of the Habsburg family because of Christine Josephine. I regret to inform you now that I and the Habsburg Feng family will spare no effort to prevent Your marriage to her.”

Li Xiaoqing looked at Zhuo Yang nervously. She was worried that he would be angry and violent.

Zhuo Yang smiled contemptuously: "That's your business and has nothing to do with me."

"You should not have anything to do with women from the Habsburg family, Zhuo Yang, I think you know this very well."

Zhuo Yang still had the same expression: "That's my business and has nothing to do with you."

George Feng spread his hands: "Okay, let's wait and see, that's it for today." After saying that, he got up to see off the guests.

"The Grand Duke of Hungary!" Zhuo Yang said.

"What?" George Vonton was there.

"The Grand Duke of Hungary whom you long for."

George Feng looked at Zhuo Yang in surprise: "Mr. Zhuo Yang, please speak clearly."

"The Archduke of Austria means that if you support him, you can become the real Archduke of Hungary."

There are actually two words for 'Archduke'. 'Erzherzogtum' in German corresponds to 'Archduke' in English. A more accurate translation should be 'Prince' or 'Prince'.

In the Holy Roman and later Austro-Hungarian Empire, Erzherzogtum was granted only to the heir to the throne. In other words, Erzherzogtum is a grand ducal title with real office and ruling power. Today, the Archduke of Austria is such an ‘Erzherzogtum’, and he is the only hereditary Erzherzogtum of the Habsburg family.

The other is Gro?herzog, which can be understood as the 'older duke'. This title will be awarded to the direct children of other royal families, but it is only an honorary title and has no real rights. Moreover, with each generation, the son of the grand duke will become a duke. The grandson will be reduced to a marquis.

Otto's Habsburg Archduke was Gro?herzog,

But due to historical reasons, his 'Grand Duke' can be hereditary.

When he was young, Otto von was confirmed by his father, Emperor Karl I, to be the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Archduke of Austria, also Erzherzogtum. However, after the empire collapsed and he lost his throne, Karl I's unsuccessful restoration angered and alarmed him. After defeating the great powers, under threats and pressure from all parties, Otto's Erzherzogtum was forced to become Gro?herzog, which no longer meant a 'monarch'.

At that time, Coco's great-grandfather, Emperor Hubert, had not yet recognized his ancestors as Habsburg. He stayed away from this incident and did not get involved in this political whirlpool. Instead, he was able to preserve the pure "Archduke of Austria" ( Erzherzogtumästerreich).

In Chinese translation, Erzherzogtum and Gro?herzog are both translated as 'grand Duke'. In fact, they are superior to each other. Erzherzogtum is obviously higher than Gro?herzog. Therefore, the Archduke of Austria is the first title of the Habsburg family.

After Otto and Koko's grandfather, Archduke Ludwig, failed to compete for the title of "Archduke of Austria", they had no choice but to change it to "Archduke of Habsburg". However, according to the compromise agreement at the time, his title would not be reduced, only That's all. Anyway, the title system in modern society is no longer rigorous.

George Feng has been operating in Hungary for many years and is very popular. He is the 'Grand Duke of Hungary' there. Many people and even officials call him the 'Grand Duke of Hungary'. However, without official endorsement, it will always be just a joke and it can only be among the people.

George Feng's official title is now count, and he will be promoted to marquis at most in the future. He dreams of becoming the real 'Grand Duke of Hungary'. He has no choice but to leave the nobles behind. No matter how awesome he is, he can't do it. Free from vulgarity.

However, father Otto is just a Gro?herzog, and he is not qualified to let his son become a Gro?herzog. Erzherzogtum of Coba is also not qualified because he is not the leader of the Habsburg family.

However, when Erzherzogtum, Austria, and the Habsburg Patriarch merged into one, there was an opportunity for George von to also become Gro?herzog. Apart from letting Papa Ko come to power, George von If you want to realize your dream, there is no other way. You can't let the Hungarian government issue a document to give you a Gro?herzog, right? Even if I gave it, no one would acknowledge it.

Qi Jesus used the condition of restoring the title of his great-grandfather, Lord Cheglen, as an excuse to demand that Coba must seize power. This is precisely because it can only be achieved by integrating the first three elements.

.

This is Zhuo Yang's trump card today. Everything he did before was to suppress George Feng's arrogance.

George Feng fell into deep thought again.

The situation is compelling, and Zhuo Yang's conditions accurately hit George Feng's biggest weakness. Fame and fortune are what he values ​​most, and they are also the dirt that can blind his mind the most. Only profit can make the proud George Feng unable to let go of his figure, and fame alone is not enough to make the arrogant him bend down. Only the combination of fame and profit can make George Feng lower his head.

"How can I trust you?" George said.

"You can only believe me." Zhuoyang said: "Agree to the conditions of His Excellency the Archduke of Austria, and you will get everything you want, the title and the opportunity to cooperate with EC Technology. Otherwise, you can only lose everything, including what you have now. Whatever you have, you will lose in the future.”

"I need a personal commitment from the Archduke of Austria."

"Of course, I'm just a messenger. You know, some words are suitable for a messenger like me to say, but not for His Excellency the Grand Duke to say in person. After I get your promise today, there will be a memorandum with the Grand Duke, and you will talk to him He co-signed.”

.

Li Xiaoqing sent Zhuo Yang to Zurich Airport, which reminded her of her departure at the airport eight years ago.

"Zhuoyang, your performance today surprised me. You... have grown up."

"It's an honor to be praised by the domineering female president."

"It's not serious again!" Xiaoqing said: "Zhuoyang, call Sister Sheng to come and listen."

"Wishful thinking! In my eyes, you will always be a little girl."

"roll!"

So, Zhuo Yang left, and Xiao Qing couldn't say anything about wanting to keep him for one more day.

Zhuoyang returned triumphantly from Zurich, and Real Madrid also returned with a victory from Croatia. Although the score was only 1:0, Di Maria scored the only goal, but the three points were obtained.

However, Zhuoyang's mouth may be poisonous. He reminded Marcelo to be cautious before the game. As a result, Marcelo lived up to expectations and got a red card.
