Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up
Chapter 389 Banquet at the Hong Kong Governor’s Office 3
The whole process of Bao Zixuan's movements and conversations with people has been observed by a girl. The girl's purpose of coming from England is very clear. She just wants Bao Zixuan to fall under her pomegranate skirt. Only by conquering such a man will she be interested and have a greater sense of accomplishment.
This is not a hundred years ago. The life of aristocrats sometimes cannot catch up with that of common people. At least they don't have to worry about high inheritance taxes, but nobles also have to repair castles, hire servants, and socialize, each of which costs a lot of money. It is impossible to maintain such a high-quality life without financial resources, but aristocratic families have had a fixed lifestyle since the Victorian period. The ability to make a living is only a little better than that of the Eight Banners disciples, but it is far behind ordinary people.
Maggie Nelson is such a girl, to be precise, she is a viscount. It's just that this Viscount didn't do well. She didn't have a formal job not long after graduating from college, and she was the only one left at home. My father was an ungrateful bastard who eventually died of alcohol poisoning in the family castle. Her mother died when she was 3 years old, and it can be said that she was the only one left in the entire Nelson family. Moreover, he is still a person who will go into debt without selling his property. His current situation can be said to be very bad.
After learning about Qiao Ant's plan from a friend, she was very excited. After all, Bao Zixuan can be said to be the top diamond king in the world. Even the children of the British royal family may not be as popular as Bao Zixuan. After all, it is very rare for people to start from scratch and still be clean.
Maggie Nelson originally had absolute confidence, but when she saw that the people who came with her were higher than the title she inherited. Let her know how big the competition is this time, and also understand how difficult the situation of the British nobles is now. Every girl has a dream in her heart, dreaming of a prince charming pursuing her, but now she is reduced to an aristocratic girl pursuing a commoner. How ironic this is, and it also proves how realistic society is.
Bao Zixuan knew that he had to give the face that should be given, so he took the gift list and came to the governor and his wife.
Seeing that Bao Zixuan was coming, MacLehose stopped talking to others. Instead, he said cordially: "Welcome, our richest man in Xiangjiang."
Bao Zixuan: "Your Excellency, Governor, please don't say that. The main reason for coming here today is to send a blessing to Madam. Happy birthday to you, beautiful Madam." After that, he handed the gift list to the entourage behind Madam.
Mrs. MacLehose smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Bao! I'm glad you can come today. I have often heard stories about you."
Bao Zixuan: "It seems that I have a good impression on Madam. At least the person who introduced me didn't say anything bad about me."
Mrs. MacLehose: "Why are you here alone today?"
Bao Zixuan: "There are only two of us in our family. My mother is not in good health and rarely goes out. But she also asked me to bring her blessings to you."
Mrs. MacLehose: "Thank you, mother. I have read reports about you and really want to meet this great woman. After all, you are also the face of our city. You can't go out without a female companion every time, right?" ! The daughters of some of my good friends are here for vacation in Xiangjiang. Let me introduce them to you. They are all from noble backgrounds. I hope you can become friends."
Before Bao Zixuan could refuse, Mrs. MacLehose had already brought him to several girls and began to introduce Bao Zixuan one by one. At this time, Bao Zixuan didn't find any conspiracy, and thought it was just the lady's kindness. So he said hello to a few girls, but when he saw Maggie Nelson, his eyes lit up. This girl couldn't be said to be so stunning, but Bao Zixuan felt very comfortable looking at her, at least she was very pleasing to the eye, maybe It's just that the bastard looked at Mung Bean and made eye contact.
Looking at Bao Zixuan's eyes, Mrs. MacLehose was very happy. It felt like there was something wrong, but Bao Zixuan had never looked at a girl like this, and he didn't think Maggie Nelson was so beautiful.
Bao Zixuan quickly realized it and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Nelson looks more like a friend of mine. I was a little rude just now."
Maggie Nelson: "So Mr. Bao and I are quite destined! I also have a friend who looks more like you."
Seeing Maggie Nelson and Bao Zixuan chatting very well, the other people left politely. They are now fighting as a team and cannot harm their teammates just because they want to. Why don't you take this opportunity to find your own goal? It's not a worthwhile trip.
Bao Zixuan: "Your surname is Nelson, so I don't know who Horatio Nelson is."
Bao Zixuan felt that this girl was not simple at this time. After all, this kind of aristocratic temperament cannot be cultivated in a short time.
Maggie Nelson: "Is he the 1st Viscount Nelson? I am the 9th Viscount Nelson."
Hearing this, Bao Zixuan's mind was constantly thinking about the British Navy. This can be said to be a descendant of a generation of legends.
Horatio Nelson, September 29, 1758 - October 21, 1805, was a British naval admiral and military strategist in the era of sailing battleships.
He led the Royal Navy to victory in major battles such as the Battle of the Nile Estuary in 1798 and the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801. He defeated the combined fleets of France and Spain at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, forcing Napoleon to completely abandon his plan to attack the British mainland by sea. , but he was shot and killed during the war.
In 2002, the BBC held a survey called "The 100 Greatest Britons" and Nelson was ranked 9th. For this general who is known as the "Soul of the Royal Navy", it seems that his descendants did not live a satisfactory life.
Judging from the clothing of this Maggie Nelson, she did not have any expensive jewelry. Her clothes were very ordinary and did not match her aristocratic status. Especially for attending a banquet, it seemed inappropriate to wear such clothes.
Seeing Bao Zixuan deep in thought, Maggie Nelson did not disturb him. He is just letting this super rich man know himself now, and he can't confirm anything yet. If you want people to remember her, you still need to work hard.
At this time, the charity dinner auction is about to begin. Bao Zixuan and Maggie Nelson stood there, suddenly not knowing what to say.
The first few items were all ordinary items, except for the Chow Tai Fook proprietress who brought over a very beautiful pearl necklace. Seeing that all the girls present wanted it, Bao Zixuan knew that it would be a good choice to get a smile from a beautiful woman with some money.
In fact, at this time, he had already realized that the British man was worried that he would not like ordinary girls. Now I start introducing the down-and-out nobles to him, he really thinks highly of me.
In my previous life, I stayed in England for more than ten years, and I had seen a lot of British nobles who were not very capable of making a living. Moreover, he seemed to have heard someone introduce Viscount Nelson to a very unsatisfactory life. Betrayed and then abandoned by her husband, her later life was miserable.
Since the British continue to use the honey trap, they may not be in trouble if they don't continue. It's okay to use this woman to paralyze the opponent now, but the speed must be controlled well, otherwise he will definitely burn himself by playing with fire.
Soon the pearl necklace was priced at 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was quite appropriate compared to its value. But this is a charity auction after all, and sometimes people care more about face.
Seeing that Zheng Yutong had already started bidding, he probably wanted to buy the things back. But Bao Zixuan can't worry so much now. The British have begun to spend a lot of money on him; he can't remain indifferent.
Bao Zixuan said directly: "2 million."
There was no movement as soon as the price came out of the auction house. After all, it more than doubled all of a sudden. Who is this so heroic? After seeing that the source of the sound was Bao Zixuan, no one said anything; after all, this was the richest person.
Zheng Yutong didn't want to lose face just like this, especially when his daughter was still at the venue. He looked very unhappy at the British woman next to Bao Zixuan. She has a beautiful daughter there, and since you can't be my son-in-law, there's nothing more to say.
Zheng Yutong's nickname was Shardantong not for nothing. He said very firmly: "3 million."
Bao Zixuan thought about what Sha Dantong meant, and whether he still wanted to buy it back for himself. But now that the price has been made, there is no turning back. It’s nothing more than spending a little more money.
Bao Zixuan: "5 million."
Zheng Yutong: "6 million."
Bao Zixuan: "10 million."
After seeing the two of them arguing at the auction, didn't it mean that Bao Zixuan was going to become Sha Dantong's son-in-law? What's going on now? Why did the two people turn against each other?
Seeing a British beauty standing next to Bao Zixuan, everyone immediately understood something. This kid must have been in trouble and gave up. Shark Dan and Shark Dan both wanted to fight for him, so how could they let him go?
Before Zheng Yutong could bid, his wife said in the direction of Bao Zixuan: "Thank you Bao Sheng for your generosity, this piece of jewelry is yours."
Many people want to praise Zheng Zhou Yue'e for his handling. This is his quality. It is not unreasonable for him to follow his husband to conquer the world for so many years.
Bao Zixuan: "Thank you, Mrs. Zheng, for giving up your love. Then I would be disrespectful."
After filling out a check for 10 million Hong Kong dollars, the staff delivered the pearl necklace to him. Bao Zixuan handed it directly to Maggie Nelson next to him, which made many people look stupid.
Bao Zixuan said: "I am very happy to meet you today. A small gift is not a sign of respect. There is only one mother in my family, and she has a lot of jewelry like this. I hope you don't dislike it."
