Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon
Chapter 536 The Duke of Norfolk
The next day, Xia Yu first went to the Treasure Pavilion and gave Hua Lao a bank card with five million pounds in it. After Hua Lao took it, he excitedly went to buy antiques.
Xia Yu returned to the Huashang Bank. After a while, he suddenly asked Wu Hongyi, "Hongyi, let me ask you something, do you know anything about the noble families in the UK?"
Although Wu Hongyi wondered why Xia Yu suddenly asked this question, he didn't ask, nodded and said, "I know generally, but it's mostly superficial information, and I don't know much about the deeper information."
Xia Yu was sure in his heart when he heard the words, and asked, "Then do you know the Howard family?"
Wu Hongyi frowned suddenly, thought for a while, and asked Xia Yu, "I know of four Howard families. I don't know which one you are talking about. Do you have any other information?"
"By the way, it should be the Howard family in Norfolk!"
Xia Yu recalled for a moment and reminded.
"Norfolk?!"
Wu Hongyi was startled, he blurted out his debut, looked Xia Yu up and down, and asked nervously, "Xia Yu, did you have any conflict with them?"
Wu Hongyi's strange performance surprised Xia Yu, secretly thinking that the Elena siblings really came from extraordinary backgrounds.
He chuckled and said, "There is no conflict, that is, I know someone, and I didn't ask much in a hurry yesterday, so I'm here to ask you."
Wu Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, otherwise there will be trouble."
Then, he began to explain: "In Norfolk, there is only one famous Howard family, and it is also the most prominent of the Howard surnames in the entire UK. A large part of Norfolk is the fief of the Howard family, and the Howard family is hereditary. The Duke of Norfolk, and an earl in addition."
"The current Duke of Norfolk is Carter Howard. He has a very important position in the entire British aristocracy, and the family strength far exceeds our Wu family."
"Of course, I also heard my grandfather say that this Duke Carter Howard is an alternative among the British aristocracy. His romantic style is obvious. Originally, the duke's title was not for him, it should be for his brother, but he resisted the pressure. Married a commoner's daughter."
"It's just that Carter Howard's brother died unexpectedly, and the Howard family had to let Carter Howard inherit the dukedom. At that time, the entire British aristocracy was dumbfounded and regretted not marrying Carter Howard."
"correct,
I've also heard that Duke Carter Howard has close ties to the Conservative Party. "
"That's all I know, but I'll go back and find out for you, and I'll tell you later!"
"Then trouble you!"
Xia Yu said gratefully.
It's just that his heart trembled secretly, he didn't expect Elena to be the daughter of the Duke of Norfolk.
Although he guessed that Elena came from an unusual family, she must be from a British noble family, but he did not expect that she came from the top duke family.
The daughter of the duke can be called a princess.
After all, her father, Carter Howard, was a duke. According to the rank of the ancient families in the whole of Europe, he was on the same level as the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. The only difference was that the United Kingdom had a queen, so the British duke could not hold real power.
But according to the ancient European tradition, when the United Kingdom is divided again, Carter Howard is fully qualified to establish a duchy, and can also be recognized by other European countries.
Of course, it is too difficult to expect the UK to disintegrate again.
...
Three days later, when Xia Yu was staying at home, he received a call from George Berkeley, saying that a group of people had come from the company. The two leaders were a girl named Elena and a little boy named Henry. Outside is a group of bodyguards.
Knowing that Elena was here, Xia Yu asked George Berkeley to entertain them, and then called Li Wuming and others to set off.
Because Li Qian happened to be here yesterday with her relatives, so she did not follow her to recuperate at home.
The car sped along the way, and after about twenty minutes, Xia Yu arrived at the Guangming Fund and saw the two brothers and sisters Elena in the living room.
Seeing Xia Yu appear, George Berkeley nodded to Xia Yu, then left silently.
"Xia Yu, good morning!"
"Elena, it's nice to see you again!"
"Hi, Xia Yu, and me, although my sister is super pretty, you can't ignore the handsome me."
"Henry..."
When Elena heard her brother start to be confused again, she reluctantly raised her volume and called out her brother's name.
For this little brother who is a little too lively and can even say that he has a talkative physique, she is often helpless, which is why she rarely takes her brother out, because her brother will always do some unnecessary things for her, Such as the stealing incident a few days ago.
However, because Xia Yu was Henry's savior, at Henry's begging, her father Carter Howard could only agree, and she brought him out again to thank Xia Yu.
"Henry, your sister is very beautiful and you are handsome, how could I ignore you, long time no see!"
Xia Yu said to Henry with a smile, and solemnly extended his hand to Henry.
Henry immediately straightened his chest and shook hands with Xia Yu. He looked like a little adult. He was very satisfied with Xia Yu's treatment and seemed to have a sense of accomplishment.
Xia Yu was instantly delighted. What kind of weirdo was Elena's younger brother? He seemed to have a strong sense of existence and self-awareness, and he didn't look like a heir cultivated by a duke family.
However, when I think of Wu Hongyi's introduction, he said that Sir Carter Howard was an alternative when he was young, and some special logic that his son was raised can also make sense.
Seeing the interaction between Xia Yu and her brother, Elena felt helpless, but also a little funny.
After the greeting, Elena said to Xia Yu with a faint smile on her face: "Xia Yu, I wonder if you are free at noon or in the evening, we want to invite you to dinner, I wonder if we have this honor."
Xia Yu smiled, looked into Elena's eyes and said, "It's my honor, I'm free at any time."
Seeing Xia Yu's promise, Elena smiled like a flower, but she was just happy for a while, and then a black line appeared on her forehead, because her stubborn brother spoke again.
"Look sister, I just said, no man will refuse your invitation, you have to have confidence in your own charm."
"Xia Yu, let me tell you, you're the first boy my sister took the initiative to invite, aren't you excited!"
Saying that, Henry also winked at Xia Yu, walked to Xia Yu's side, leaned against Xia Yu's ear and whispered, "If you want to thank me, let your bodyguard teach me Chinese Kung Fu, how about Next time I can also ask my sister out for you."
Hearing Henry's words, Xia Yu was instantly amused, and he was indeed a strange person. In order to learn kung fu, he planned to sell his sister without saying a word.
Also, it seems too familiar.
Xia Yu glanced at Elena subconsciously, but saw that her pretty face was slightly red, and her eyes fluctuated.
"Henry, I think we should have a good talk when we get home."
Elena's words fell in Henry's ears, Henry's expression froze, and then he returned to Elena's side embarrassingly.
Xia Yu smiled, and lightly exposed this somewhat embarrassing matter.
After that, I took Elena sister and brother to visit the company.
After learning about it, the Elena siblings were very surprised that Xia Yu opened a financial company in the UK at such a young age, and Elena couldn't help but take a few more glances at the chatty Xia Yu.
After staying in the company for about half an hour, Xia Yu went to the predetermined place with the Elena siblings.
