Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 70 Kate Fox

PS: Originally, I would like to thank you all for helping me to add a new chapter to the new book list, but I will go out to dinner with my classmates later, if I come back late, I will owe it temporarily, sorry! ! !
The meal was served quickly, but what surprised Joseph was that the red wine Kate ordered was not from a local British or French winery, but a dry red wine imported from Australia.

Asking her own doubts, Kate smiled lightly: "Compared with French and British red wines, Australian red wines are younger, but their taste is also very good. You can try it and change the taste!"

Although Kate said this, Joseph still shook his head. To be honest, Joseph is a relatively traditional person. He finally got used to the taste of French red wine, and now he doesn't want to change to any new taste.

"Joseph, is there anything you want to buy today?"

"No, just accompany the Earl of Liverpool for a stroll, if there is something good to talk about."

It’s okay not to mention the Earl of Liverpool, but when Kate is mentioned, I can’t help feeling angry. Why didn’t I introduce Joseph’s identity just now?Don't you look down on yourself and think that you have no right to speak in the family?
"The royal family of Nord is now the richest among the royal families of Western European countries. Are you really the son of God as reported in the media?"

Although Kate's words contained curiosity, more of it was jealousy. Why was Joseph able to get along so well while inheriting the family's title from an early age, while she was deprived of real power by her uncle?
"Son of God?"

Kate’s words made Joseph slightly puzzled. This was actually the evaluation of Joseph by some newspapers in the United States. The sales of these newspapers are often not large, so it is normal for Joseph not to know.

"That's right! Now Wall Street and some media personnel call you that, otherwise, how could Nord develop so fast, your butler prime minister doesn't have this ability."

Kate was also a little surprised, hadn't he heard these titles before, and after thinking about it, it was true that those were some small newspapers, and it was normal for Joseph not to have heard of them.

"Son of God, I can't bear such a title. As for James, although his ability is a bit weak, he is not as bad as the media said. It is also his credit that Nord is able to get a full order now."

Butler Prime Minister, this is not a good title, Joseph couldn't help thinking while answering Kate, wondering how sad it must be for James to know the evaluation of him by the American media.Of course, Joseph didn't know about it. In fact, James knew this a long time ago, and he liked this title very much, because he himself positioned himself as a steward, especially after Joseph was dissatisfied with the cabinet and parliament.

"Kate, your family is..."

The Earl of Liverpool did not introduce the details of Kate to Joseph. It is impossible for such an old fox to ignore such an important matter, so it can only explain one thing, he does not need to know this beautiful Marquis.

But from the very beginning, Joseph's purpose in coming to London was not that simple. Networking was only part of his goal, and the future princess was the subject.

"The Fox family, now my uncle is taking care of the family."

A simple sentence explains a lot of things, at least Joseph understands the reason why the Earl of Liverpool didn't help to introduce, it turns out... It's another family dispute and Kate is still the one that is not favored.

But now Joseph doesn't think about it, because the Fox family has a lot of trade with the Principality of Nord, and their main business location is in the west of England, across the sea from Nord.Of course, the pretty Marquise doesn't seem to know this.

"It seems that your uncle hides a lot of things from you. At least he didn't tell you about his business dealings with the Principality of Nord, and he didn't tell you that he has a good relationship with James."

Joseph's words made the beautiful Marquis frown, and her eyes were no longer so friendly when she looked at Joseph. Joseph, who understood what she was thinking, hurriedly said: "I don't like your uncle very much. He is very cunning. I like to play tricks."

flutter
Marquis Kate couldn't help laughing slightly at Joseph's anxious appearance. She thought Joseph was cute and fun, but this was a public place after all, so it was inappropriate for a lady to laugh like this.

"Business is business, how can you say cunning! Although I don't like my uncle, Joseph, you shouldn't complain to me."

Seeing Kate's expression, Joseph could only be full of grievances. Of course, this grievance is all faked. As the time of occupying this body increases, Joseph finds that he is more and more proficient at pretending to be cute and cheating.

"And your damn merchandise, each one is so expensive."

Speaking of this, Kate once again remembered the moment when she was fighting in Boston's business district, and tens of thousands of dollars left her account. Although she was rich, she couldn't help but feel pain every time she thought about it.

Kate's words made Joseph very puzzled. How can I say that she is also a marquess and the heir of the Fox family, but it is just some luxury, which is worth feeling distressed?

Kate naturally saw Joseph's expression, and couldn't help but give him a white look: "It doesn't matter if the price is the same, but the price difference between Nord's local price and the United States is really too big, who can bear the price difference?"

This sentence almost caused Joseph to die unjustly. This is not his fault. The United States has begun to increase tariffs in order to limit (punish?) the economic development of the Principality of Nord. Even depending on the situation, he is not prepared to give aid to the third year of the European Recovery Plan. .

Here I want to say that the aid from the United States in 1981 was sent to China again, and the exchange was hundreds of millions of dollars in cash. Although China's economy is not very good now, the arrival of a large number of European and American machinery has given them hope. Hundreds of millions of dollars will naturally not be in arrears.

"In the future, when you come to the Principality of Nord, I will accompany you to go shopping."

The result of the entanglement was that Joseph made this promise, but he didn't know that it was this promise that made Joseph almost never want to go out with women to play or go shopping.

Then the two talked about other things, including some small things about Kate's life at school. Joseph wondered why someone with Kate's identity would go to the United States to study instead of the UK.

"Many of my friends are studying in the United States. Although British education is good, times are changing. In terms of business atmosphere, the United States ranks first in the world."

The current nobles are not the nobles before World War II. They also need to live and make money, and wealth often represents the prosperity of the family. No matter how big the title is, if there is no money, then everything is for nothing.

Joseph nodded understandingly at Kate's words. He also had the same thought. With the arrival of the new century, wealth comes first, and even power can be temporarily sidelined in front of wealth.

"However, there is one thing wrong with American universities. They are too free. Some speeches can be expressed freely. The favorite thing of my friends is to promote anarchic political ideas. The school security office has approached them several times, but unfortunately they all ended in failure. .”

Joseph doesn't like this kind of person either. After all, he is a member of powerful interests. If those who promote anarchy go to Nord, they may be warned or disappear directly.

At this time, Joseph thought of one thing, if Kate lived in such an environment, then she is suitable for the princess of the Principality of Nord?And she is also older, in all aspects...

Kate didn't know that Joseph had so many associations in an instant, and even blocked one of her paths to heaven. Of course, everything is unknown, and it may not be certain that the blockage will be opened in the future.

The current Kate is still too immature. Although she has been trying to make herself colder, more familiar with strangers, but in the eyes of some old foxes, this is a ridiculous disguise.

Although Joseph was not an old fox, Kate had no defense against him at all, so she easily touched her true side.

Time passed in the dining chat, and the Earl of Liverpool had already left early. After tidying up his clothes, the two also went to the auction venue together.
