Chapter 502
To the melodious music of a 20-member orchestra, the reception hosted by the Aldrich count officially opened.
Although the memory in his mind is enough to show Donald what he needs to do in such a social situation, the memory is someone else’s after all, and Donald himself is not a person who likes to pretend to be with a group of strangers. Be a good friend and talk about topics that he doesn’t even know the meaning of.
But Serveit Talos seems to enjoy the activity.
It’s not that he is so talkative. In fact, this guy’s personality can be said to be very bad. He talks to people to enjoy the pleasure of being complimented by nobles or big capitalists, probably to make up for it. The sense of loss after being bullied by those who were not much different from him in the family.
It’s a bit helpless that Serveit Talos does have this capital. As the leader of Rainas City, East Germany, even if you put aside the huge monster of the Talos family, there are still quite a few in the county. Many people tried to flatter him.
And that means even if Donald stands still, his presence still glows like a firefly in the dark.
Unfortunately, it does not attract pure and simple children, but a group of Stinking Insects who are chasing fame and fortune.
For example, the Viscount Joyce in front of him.
It must be stated here that the title of nobility only reflects a person’s official status recognized by the Ryan Empire, not his real social status.
Similarly, a title cannot represent a person’s power or something else.
The best example is Donald and the Adrien who died in an “accident”, both of them are viscounts, but the former is the leader of Renas, whether his name is real gold, white silver Money or real estate such as various factories and shops are at least two grades stronger than the latter.
Don’t get me wrong, this is not to belittle Adrian, he doesn’t have a count-level family to support him, and even in this case, he can still follow the one who will exploit Renas as his life goal. Witte Talos competed for the position of mayor, enough to face that his family was already in the middle and upper reaches among the same viscounts.
And the difference between Viscount Joyce and him is probably about the same as the difference between him and Donald…
To put it bluntly, this Viscount is very For the most part, he just inherited a name, and the assets under his name are pitiful.
According to what Servette remembered, he was the one who urged Serveit to cooperate with him to win the mining company. Because of his lack of capital, this guy especially likes to be a broker. They speculate in the aristocratic circle, providing inside information to some nobles with relatively closed information, or simply helping them to rob them. The purpose is to gain their own interests while the other party makes money.
Let’s not say, he really got his way in the aristocratic circle by relying on this kind of thing. After all, most of the aristocrats focus on enjoyment, and few people think about bullying all day long. Weaker families or capitalists for their own profit.
A lot of times even if they think about it, they won’t do it, because it’s a big blow to their reputation.
However, Joyce and Serveit can be said to be birds of a feather, and they can be described as embarrassing.
“Dear Mr. Serveit, please allow me to tell you the great news that the mining company has recently been unable to support any longer, and their accumulated debt has completely disrupted their capital chain. , and the pressure we put together has caused problems in other Steve family properties, and according to reliable sources, the lady is ready to sell the mining company at an auction later this evening.”
Joyce’s expression was always a little exaggerated when he spoke in the past, but today he was a little cautiously after seeing the rare Servette standing by without a mask and gloomy drinking.
Some time ago, the assassination incident that occurred in Renas had already spread among the noble circles in East Germany, and he naturally knew that it was said that the assassination killed the guard beside Serveit Talos. Thoroughly, it suffered huge losses.
Joyce has also heard about Adrian recently, so he subconsciously thinks that the other party is in a bad mood because of too many troubles, even with such a beautiful and thrilling lady standing beside him It was difficult to make him stretch his brows.
In fact, this is Donald’s gesture in order to avoid too much communication with people. After all, there is no requirement that guests must be smiling at this reception.
“Well, I’m going to participate in the auction.”
This mining company is a must for Donald, and his Howling Forest development plan is indispensable, so he doesn’t bother Talk nonsense to Joyce, and directly express your intentions.
And his statement made Joyce stunned in place.
“You…what do you want that mining company to do? This is not in line with our original agreement.”
This time cooperation, Joyce It is the middleman, responsible for the nobles or big capitalists who are interested in the mining company. In the original contract, Serveit asked for 30% of the shares of the mining company, and the price he paid was to oppress those with the Steve family in his own name. The Chamber of Commerce, which has a partnership, let them put pressure on the Steve family.
This kind of contribution can be said to be big or small, and it is a happy ending to account for 30% of the shares.
The other two parties to the cooperation are a mining tycoon with a small reputation in East Germany, who wants a mining company to enhance his own strength, and the other is the Viscount of Marta City, who wants something Just a little weird.
He doesn’t want shares or money, but wants the daughters of the Steve family.
After the death of that Steve Baron, what was left behind was a mother and daughter, said to be two extremely beautiful women, and he was looking at them.
The idea is also simple, let’s destroy the family first, because Steve Baron’s title is the lowest, once his strength is not good, he is no different from a commoner.
The above is all about the contract.
“I have money, can’t I auction it?”
Donald drank the fruit wine slowly, and continued to Joyce who was embarrassed and anxious,
“According to the rules, the competition is fair, and the higher bidder wins!”
“Aren’t you breaking the agreement between us, something that was agreed long ago… Viscount Philip and West Mr. Otto has been planning for this day for a long time, and you suddenly stepped in. Not only is it difficult for me to explain to them, but the two of them will probably not agree… Viscount Philip is here, or you two Chat?”
Joyce is helpless now. As a broker, what he is most afraid of is this situation. These three are people he can’t afford to offend, and this person is in his current mood. Obviously very bad, it’s not a good idea to offend him at this time.
It happened to see Viscount Philip walking this way, and Joyce wanted to push the trouble out and let these great characters discuss the results themselves.
Following Joyce’s gaze, Donald saw at a glance the middle-aged man who was a little fatter walking towards him.
To be exact, he was walking towards Stephanie.
“Oops…”
Joyce’s face became a little ugly after noticing this. He was very clear about Viscount Philip’s virtue. The stallion that beautiful women want to get on is the most appropriate title for him.
Relying on the family business accumulated by the previous generation, this guy has harmed many people.
Looking at his current appearance, it is obvious that he wants to continue his usual behavior.
This is indeed the case. Philip participates in this kind of reception for the purpose of hunting for beauty, and this beautiful woman in front of him is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching people in the whole reception.
Of course, Philip is not an idiot. Most of the time, after he finds the target, he will confirm the male partner of the other party and then decide his own way of action.
But at this time, he couldn’t remember who the “pretty boy” beside the beauty was. As the communication master in the aristocratic circle of East Germany, since he had no impression in his mind, then It means that the other party is not a real high-level figure.
So what’s there to worry about?
“Beautiful lady, please allow me to invite you…”
As a gentleman, of course, at this time, you must first talk to this person for a reasonable reason. A lady has a close communication.
Inviting a dance is undoubtedly a very good start. This is a very normal invitation in the upper class. Generally, it will not be rejected, let alone his identity is well-known among the characters present. figure .
Unfortunately, he found the wrong object of estrus.
“Shut your mouth and go back to your pigsty now, or I can’t guarantee that you will be able to leave here standing today.”
Since you are destined to become enemies, Donald naturally won’t give this guy a good look, even more how what he wants to show today is a person who has always been arrogant and despotic, and is in a very bad mood at this time.
His
Joyce next to him heard this and immediately held breath cold air.
Joyce knew that Viscount Philip would be rejected, but didn’t expect to be rejected by such humiliating words.
Even bystanders felt it was too much, not to mention Viscount Philip who was the party involved.
Why did he suffer such grievances?
