Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 178 Gambling (Part [-])

"The Prince?"

"Have you read it?"

Kate also found that she asked a very stupid question, so after saying this, she shut up in embarrassment, but Joseph couldn't help chuckling, which made Kate very dissatisfied.

"This is the gift you gave to Wilson? I think it would be more appropriate if it is the theory of capital, the theory of the monarch... I am afraid that Wilson will be mostly sincere and fearful."

This was naturally a joke. Kate coquettishly annoyed Joseph and ignored it for a while, calling the hotel staff to prepare a beautiful box, and then began to dress up.

Naturally, the governor's banquet cannot be dressed casually like just going out to play. After all, it is an upper-class society in the same place, and Kate must show her dignified and noble side.

"I think this kind of life is very tiring and not casual at all."

Lying on the bed, Joseph tilted his head and watched Kate dressing up, taking off her coat to reveal her crystal jade back. It wasn't that Kate was used to it, but that she had no choice but to drive Joseph away.Fortunately, Joseph didn't deliberately stare at Kate, otherwise she would have been delayed for a long time before she could take off and put on the dress.

Wearing jewelry in front of the mirror, Kate asked casually: "This is the reason why you choose to study abroad? Want to find a free space to indulge and relax?"

"Free space? Where in the world is Nord more free? I just want to re-experience the life on campus, although this campus is not that campus."

Joseph said the following words in Chinese, so Kate looked at him through the mirror with some doubts, and Joseph grinned at her when he noticed the gaze, and praised: "Very beautiful."

With a blushing and coquettish sentence, Kate no longer pursued these things, and Joseph couldn't help but sighed that praise is the best weapon for a woman in the government, and any topic can be diverted because of this.

Participating in a banquet is naturally different from going out for fun. At the very least, you can’t go to the Governor’s Mansion on foot. If you really do this, then it is estimated that Kate’s dress can no longer be worn there.

The Shangri-La Hotel is relatively powerful. Although the white Rolls Royce in the presidential suite does not meet Joseph's status, it is very good to find such a white Rolls Royce when there is no better car.

"It almost became our own vehicle, but it is estimated that Audi will not let it go."

This was the first sentence Joseph said to Kate after getting in the car, so the driver in front couldn't help but glance at him. When he found Kate's beauty, his attention was still distracted.

Women are born beautiful, the premise is that you know how to make up.Kate herself has a beauty of 99 points, and now she has a full [-] points after careful makeup. The difference is that she is too dignified and noble, which makes people feel alienated.Of course, this sense of alienation does not include Joseph.

"I think it is a wrong decision for you to focus on supporting the IT industry. Traditional industries such as Audi are the comprehensive scores that measure a country. Steel, oil..."

"Kate, we are going to the governor's banquet, not the European Commission meeting."

Joseph's helplessness made Kate pause for a while, and then she smiled apologetically and stopped talking, but her inner thoughts have not changed, and the disputes in the Principality of Nord will inevitably recur in the future.But Joseph doesn't care about these things, because Kate's enemies in the future will inevitably be a group of guys in the cabinet who have seen the development of IT, and they will do their best to block some of Kate's ideas.

Thinking of this, Joseph couldn't help but look at Kate pitifully. She will definitely have a miserable somersault in the future!Because the rise of IT is already unstoppable, the heavy industry... without large-scale reforms, it is difficult to have a deep development prospect.

The Shangri-La Hotel is not very far from the Governor's Mansion. When the white Rolls Royce arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Joseph really found that there were a lot of guests attending the banquet.

The white Rolls-Royce is not a top-end vehicle here. Leaving aside the two silver Rolls-Royces, those Bugatti Veyrons, Bentley saloons, and limited-edition Porsches are all more expensive than the one that Joseph was riding in. A white Rolls Royce.

Of course, when it comes to identity, Joseph deserves to be number one. No one will deny this, and no one dares to deny it.

"Arch Duke Joseph, Marquis Kate, the port city welcomes you."

Wei Yixin was still very energetic at this time. The moment he saw Joseph and Kate getting off the car, he took the initiative to step forward. The guests who saw this scene focused their attention on Joseph and Kate.

"It seems that Mr. Governor of Hong Kong said this sentence a little late."

Joseph couldn't help teasing Wilson, Kate was much more friendly, and smiled slightly: "When I was in London, I heard that the Queen thinks highly of Sir Wilson, and this is the first time we have met."

For example, Joseph's kind of teasing Wei Yixin couldn't answer at all. Fortunately, Kate made up in time, which made Wei Yixin step down a step. He took a thankful look at Kate and hurriedly led the way.

Joseph didn't dislike Wei Yixin, he just felt that he held a banquet in such a big way and invited him, so he didn't feel at ease, so he said something to please him.

"It seems that the Duke of Nord is not as friendly as expected."

"I don't think it's anything. It's normal to have such a behavior at a young age."

"He is the Grand Duke Nord? It's nothing!"

"It seems that we have to seize the opportunity tonight, but the one next to him..."

The guests have their own thoughts, the rich and the dignitaries are mainly concerned about Joseph's character, while some young people are mainly unconvinced, and the thoughts of the courtesans are self-evident.

After gesturing to the young handsome man who couldn't take his eyes back, Wei Yixin said with a pun: "Marquis Kate is very beautiful today."

"Thank you, the development of Hong Kong City is really good."

Kate naturally heard Wei Yixin's little counterattack, but she was not polite at all, and directly used the development of Hong Kong City to block Wei Yixin's mouth!How well can the development of the port city be compared to the mainland of the Principality of Nord?What are some young heroes here, how can they be compared with Joseph?

Joseph was undoubtedly the type that Wilson couldn't offend, so he stopped talking casually, just smiled and began to introduce some distinguished guests at the banquet in detail.

I am also very interested in these deafening rich men and politicians in Joseph, so the conversation between the two sides is very smooth. These rich men have certain influence even in the world, so there is no need to be too cautious when talking to Joseph.

From the bottom of their hearts, they are still very willing to get close to Joseph. After all, Nord has developed too many and too many business opportunities today, and these are the things that businessmen are most concerned about.

"As far as the development of Hong Kong City is concerned, I think it is close to its peak."

This is Joseph's only comment when it comes to Hong Kong City. Although Kate and several rich and dignitaries are unwilling to accept this fact, they still nodded in agreement.

"Population and land restrict its development. For the agreed 97 years, this is an opportunity for Hong Kong City."

Joseph was outspoken, but such topics were not liked by these rich people in the port city, because they still had a lot of worries. After all, the system was different and the social environment was also different, and they could not afford too much change.

"It's an opportunity and a crisis. There are not many who can bear such a price."

The head of the Li family is not very optimistic. The main reason is that that day has not come. What is said now is false. Once they make a wrong choice, they may be lost forever, and their hundreds of billions of property will disappear in an instant.

"How about a bet? I bet against yours."

"Just bet on this?"

"Yes, just bet on it."

Wei Yixin was not here, because he was not willing to participate in such a topic. Kate was on the sidelines, but she never opened her mouth on similar occasions.

"What's the stake?"

Because of the issue of position, there is no need to talk about the specific situation. What needs to be said now is the issue of bets. No one is worried about reputation. After all, this is just something extra.

How to choose them has been determined, and everyone who will leave or not is already counted. Now that Joseph is willing to gamble, then they are also willing to accompany them. They will not leave anyway. If they can have some capital to make a comeback as they think.win?They would rather things go according to Joseph's idea if they can.

"If the mainland side does something to you, then I will give you [-] million euros each. If you don't do it, then you owe me a favor."

Money is good, but favors are hard to repay. There has been a saying since ancient times. Therefore, fundamentally speaking, the wealthy people in Hong Kong City are the losers, but in fact they agreed to this bet without the slightest hesitation.

Wilson was very embarrassed on such an occasion, so he did not show up. Some shareholders of the newspaper industry quietly recorded the conversation. It is obvious that this bet will be the hottest news tomorrow.

Compared with the nobles in the West, these Hong Kong rich people who developed hundreds of years ago are slightly less expensive to some extent. At least they don't know much about wine and horses.Of course, influenced by the UK, they can only say that they are not very proficient, and it is too much to say that they don't understand.

After the banquet, on the way back to the hotel

"It would embarrass Sir Wilson."

"He is the lucky one, and his successor is unlucky."

Kate obviously knew what Joseph was referring to, but she was very surprised, how did Joseph know that Wilson could not do it in 97, and how could he be so sure that Hong Kong City would return to China.There are still nearly ten years left, and no one can imagine what will happen in ten years.

"Intuition, a man's intuition."

This answer made Kate very dissatisfied. She felt that Joseph was playing tricks on her, and she was very unwilling to be played around in such a matter.

"Let's wait and see."

Kate's dissatisfaction was obvious to Joseph, but how did he answer?Could it be that I came here through time travel, these things are the clearest?Pretending to be mysterious is undoubtedly the best solution. If they are really entangled, they can simply make up a reason at will, Joseph thought.
