Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 68 The Earl of Liverpool's Football Dream

"Earl of Liverpool, maybe it's time for me to leave here. After all, I have to go to Duke Hollis to discuss this matter. I'm sorry for the interruption these two days."

Joseph has no intention of getting involved in the family feud of the Earl of Liverpool, and leaving may be the only thing he can do, although his purpose has not been achieved.

"Maybe His Royal Highness Joseph's things can be easier, $3000 million, I mean the Liverpool family is willing to invest $3000 million in this subway project."

???

Joseph is a little strange, such a big project cannot be decided in two or three days, but now the Earl of Liverpool actually gave him an accurate answer, even though the subway project is indeed very stable in making money, but...

"Christie's has an auction tonight, Your Highness, are you interested in buying something?"

Auctions, private horse farms, and large-scale private banquets are the favorite places for nobles and rich people. They are the easiest places to make friends and expand contacts. Liverpool's words obviously want to introduce Joseph to some London nobles.

"Of course I'm interested, but I don't have much money in my hands."

"I believe in the words of Grand Duke Nord, all major banks in the world will give you crazy loans."

It seems to be a small joke, but there is no lack of it to remind Joseph to recognize this kind of favor. All major banks in the world are willing to lend to Nord, so it means that the subway project is not too short of money. Let them invest. A friendly gesture from Joseph.

……

Anne and Ephra soon found out that Joseph was about to leave. They came to see him off with different moods. Aldrich will accompany him to the banquet tonight. After all, his father, the Duke of Hollis, will also be there tonight. get there.

Adonis hadn't come back since last night. Joseph pretended he didn't see it and didn't ask about it. Naturally, the Earl of Liverpool wouldn't bring it up without asking, so he disappeared from everyone's sight like a stranger.

"Aphra, if you have time, you can come to Nord, and I will accompany you to see Xi Qi, he is a very obedient little guy."

No matter what thoughts this sentence brought to other people, Joseph got into the car and prepared to leave after saying this. The Earl of Liverpool smiled meaningfully at his eldest daughter and followed him into the car.

It's still early, so Aldridge is not in a hurry to go there. Also attending the auction house tonight is Anne. Girls need time to dress up. At that time, Aldrich will accompany Annie to go.

In the car, the driver is an old man from the Liverpool family, so the old man of a century-old family knows what to say and what not to say, so the two of them can completely ignore him when they talk.

"Aphra gave me a very special feeling, very kind and warm."

After a long silence, Joseph uttered the first sentence, and it was this sentence that made the Earl of Liverpool's heart flutter, and he began to guess what Joseph wanted to express.

"If I remember correctly, since the passing of the British Nobility Act in 1963, women seem to have the same right to inherit the title!"

The Earl of Liverpool, who misunderstood what Joseph meant, did not immediately express his dissatisfaction, but nodded flatly and said, "That's right, but if the testator insists, things still have a chance to change."

"The count may have misunderstood me. From her own point of view, Aphra is indeed not suitable to inherit the title of count. I just hope that her life will be better in the future, that's all."

"She is my daughter, Joseph."

One sentence is enough, Joseph nodded and did not speak again, although he was very disapproving of this sentence, if he really regarded her as his daughter, then why did he find such a husband for her?
When Joseph didn't speak again, it was because he knew that he had no right to be dissatisfied. In the eyes of the Liverpool family, he was just a passer-by, a passer-by. Of course, he might be a rich and powerful stranger.

"Let's talk about something light! Earl of Liverpool, is there anything good at Christie's tonight? You should know that I'm more interested in things from the East."

I don't know if he really forgot about this matter or the Earl of Liverpool is too old-fashioned. In short, there is no dissatisfaction on his face at this time, and it is completely the enthusiasm of the first day.

"Perhaps Joseph, you will be disappointed. Tonight's auction mainly focuses on some European oil paintings and some things from the Roman period. In the East... it seems that there is only one Japanese sword from the Sengoku period!"

"A sword from the Sengoku period in Japan?"

"That's right, I don't know much about Eastern culture, but there will be some Japanese descendants present tonight. You should know that Japan's economy has fluctuated a lot recently, and there are some rich people among them."

Although he said this, it can be seen from the Earl of Liverpool's face that he doesn't care much about it. Joseph can see from the previous intelligence that the Earl of Liverpool has some ethnic discrimination.

"I went to Japan a few days ago. Their sashimi is not bad. If the earl is interested, you can try it. Cherry blossoms and beautiful women are also very good."

Women are a topic that men like very much. Even if one is a child and the other is an old fox, they can find common ground when talking about such things.

"I don't like Japanese women very much. In comparison, Germany is very good, and Ukraine is also very good, but the current situation in Ukraine..."

It was during the Cold War period, and the situation in the United States and the Soviet Union meant that there were not many Ukrainian beauties in London. The Earl of Liverpool was a typical playboy when he was young, and his favorite thing was to study beauties from all over the world.

"This year's Nobel Prize was actually awarded to the United Nations Refugee Agency. Although they do have the qualifications, I think it is better to award it to an individual."

"Nobel**? The Earl is also interested in this kind of award?"

"Of course, this is not the time of World War II. We nobles are only honorable. It's not good to keep hiding behind the scenes. It's good to be exposed occasionally."

Joseph nodded sympathetically. Although it is safe to hide behind the scenes, it also brings a lot of inconvenience. When people completely forget you, the family is not far away from demise.

For example, the legendary Rothschild family, Morgan family, and Rockefeller family, although their direct descendants are rarely seen, but their family names have always been resounding all over the world, and it is becoming more and more intense.

Nord is also a member of the United Nations, but because of its small size and small population, it has always played the role of soy sauce, and that vote is not even as important as some African countries.

While the two were talking, a group of people outside the car were parading angrily. Looking at the headline, it turned out that they were dissatisfied with the performance of a local team. They wanted to laugh and joke, but found that the count of Liverpool was also in a bad mood.

"The count also likes football?"

"Play it occasionally, but the performance of several teams in London has been really poor recently. Unfortunately, the future of the team is not very clear, and most of them are occupied by a few large clubs. There is almost no chance for newcomers to qualify."

The Earl of Liverpool obviously intends to establish his own team, but the environment in London or the UK makes him see no hope, so he has no choice but to give up.

Looking at the scenery outside the car, Joseph suddenly remembered something. Nord should also establish his own football team. After all, European football still has a great influence.
