Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth
Chapter 387 The banquet of 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 came from England with a very clear purpose. She is to make Bao Zixuan fall under her skirt. Only by conquering such a man will she be interested and more successful.
feel.
This is not a hundred years ago, and the life of nobles sometimes cannot keep 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.
Expenses. It is impossible to maintain such a high-quality life without financial resources. However, aristocratic families have had a fixed lifestyle since the Victorian period. Their ability to make a living is better than that of the Eight Banners. Compared with ordinary people,
Very different.
Maggie Nelson is such a girl. To be precise, she is a viscount. But this viscount is not doing very well. She has not had a formal job not long after graduating from college, and she is the only one left in the family. Her father
She was an ungrateful bastard who eventually died of alcohol poisoning in the family castle. Her mother passed away when she was 3 years old. It can be said that she was the only one left in the entire Nelson family. And she was still the one who never changed her property.
The current situation of people who are in debt can be said to be very bad.
After learning about Joante's plan from a friend, she was very excited. After all, Bao Zixuan can be said to be the world's top diamond king. Even the children of the British royal family may not be as popular as Bao Zixuan. After all, they can start from scratch and be clean.
People are very rare.
Maggie Nelson originally had absolute confidence, but she saw that the people who came with her were all higher than the title she inherited. She knew how big the competition was this time, and she also understood how difficult the current situation of the British aristocracy was. Every girl
We all have a dream in our hearts, dreaming of a prince charming pursuing us, but now we are 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 to you, our richest man in Hong Kong."
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 saying 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 did you come 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 Xiangjiang. 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 did not find any conspiracy and thought it was just the lady's kindness. So he and several girls
The girl said hello, 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 it was very pleasing to the eye, maybe it was like a bastard looking at mung beans.
Eye to eye.
Looking at Bao Zixuan's eyes, Mrs. MacLehose was very happy. She felt that something was going on, but Bao Zixuan had never seen a girl like this before, and she 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 not take this opportunity to find yourself
goal, this trip is not in vain.
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 at sea.
, but he was shot and killed during the war.
In 2002, the BBC held a survey called "The 100 Greatest Britons", and Nelson ranked 9th. What do you think of this general who is known as the "Soul of the Royal Navy" and his descendants?
It was not a happy life.
Judging from the clothing of this Maggie Nelson, she does not have any expensive jewelry. Her clothes are very ordinary and do not match her aristocratic status. Especially for attending a banquet, it seems inappropriate to wear such clothes.
Seeing Bao Zixuan deep in thought, Maggie Nelson did not disturb him. He was just letting this super rich man get to know him, and he was not sure about anything yet. He still needed to keep working hard if he wanted people to remember her.
At this time, the charity dinner auction was about to begin. Bao Zixuan and Maggie Nelson were standing there, suddenly not knowing what to say.
The first few items were all ordinary things, only the boss lady of Chow Tai Fook 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 somewhat realized that the British were worried that he would not like ordinary girls. Now they started to introduce the down-and-out nobles to him, and they really looked up to him.
In his previous life, he had been in the UK for more than ten years, and he had seen a lot of British nobles who were not very capable of making a living. Moreover, he seemed to have heard someone introduce him to Viscount Nelson, who had a very unsatisfactory life. He was betrayed by her husband and then abandoned. In his later years,
Life is miserable.
Since the British continue to use the honey trap, it may not be easy for them if they don't continue. Now it's okay to use this woman to paralyze the other party, but the speed must be controlled well, otherwise they will definitely play with fire and burn themselves.
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. However, Bao Zixuan couldn't care so much now. The British had already begun to spend a lot of money on him; he couldn'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 voice was Bao Zixuan, no one said anything; after all, this is the richest person.
people.
Zheng Yutong didn't want to lose face like this, especially when his daughter was still at the venue. He looked very unhappy with the British woman next to Bao Zixuan. He had a beautiful daughter there. Since you can't be my son-in-law, there is nothing to say.
.
Zheng Yutong's nickname was Shardantong not for nothing. He said very firmly: "3 million."
Bao Zixuan wondered what Sha Dantong meant by this, and whether he still wanted to buy it back for himself. But since the price was set, there was no turning back. It was just a matter of spending 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 they say that Bao Zixuan was going to become Sha Dantong's son-in-law? What's the situation now? Why did the two of them 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. She was both desperate to fight for him, so how could she 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 would not be disrespectful. There is only one mother in my family, and she has a lot of jewelry like this. I hope you don't dislike it."
