Chapter 524: Oral message

Hehe, it's finally here, Tan Zhenhua thought to himself, and responded casually: "Yes, as you can see, the management authority of the two funds "Hongqi" and "Gangteng" is with me, of course , I am not the actual operator, the actual operator stays in that castle."
After he finished speaking, he pointed his finger in the direction of Highclere Castle and smiled: "That guy is so busy now, but there is no such leisure as you and me."
"Well, Eric, you really surprised me. You should be a little smaller than me. You can already control such a huge amount of money. It is really enviable."
Tan Zhenhua smiled and replied: "Yes, that's why I said that I am a businessman, dealing with things that smell like copper every day, I'm afraid I can't be a real gentleman in my life."
Standing behind him, Yu Pengxia curled her lips in disdain, and said in her heart: "Ah! You guy, what you say and what you think in your heart are not the same thing! I'm afraid in your heart, the so-called " Gentlemen" are just a bunch of waste that only wastes food."
George Herbert did not agree with Tan Zhenhua's point of view, but said sternly: "Eric, in fact, gentlemen also need to earn money, and they need to earn a lot of money to maintain their dignity. Just like our house. This Highclere Manor, just to collect the money for the inheritance tax, my mother even had to sell her jewelry. Even if we finally kept the manor, it would cost hundreds of thousands of pounds every year. The cost of repairs is troublesome, you know, British law stipulates that the successor of the castle must repair the castle every year to keep it intact, and this cost must be borne by himself..."
Having said this, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "So, you see, we even have to rent our home to strangers in order to earn a little money to maintain our decentness."
Tan Zhenhua asked strangely: "But George, I saw a painting in the hallway yesterday. That lady Amina should be your great-grandmother, she belongs to the Rothschild family, and as far as I know, The Rothschild family is probably one of the richest families in Britain, don't they care about you?"
"Rothschild? Yeah, Rothschild, Eric, since you know this surname, you also know their wealth and status, of course, you should also understand some of their history of fortune, you think, they will only What do distant relatives with titles of nobility do?"
Tan Zhenhua was speechless for a while.
What George Herbert said, he actually understood very well.
There is also an old Chinese saying that
the poor are in the downtown area and no one knows them, and the rich are in the mountains and have distant relatives.
Although the Canaver family is definitely not poor, they are among the fallen aristocrats in the British Empire. In the eyes of the family, there is indeed no use value, so it is reasonable for this relative to fade away.
So, is it that you guessed wrong? George Herbert invited himself and Yu Pengxia to ride a horse today. Didn't the family arrange it behind him?
"Eric."
He was thinking about what went wrong with his reasoning, and he heard George call him softly. He looked up, but saw the future Lord Earl looking at him embarrassedly, as if there was something to say. But not so embarrassed to say it.
Tan Zhenhua smiled. It seems that he didn’t guess wrong. It’s just that the young and energetic future Earl, the Rothschild family of a wealthy and enemy country, has dealt with the
poor relatives
Kana who has begun to fall for so many years. The Wen family has been indifferent and unhappy.
"George, is there anything I can help? You are welcome, we are already good friends, right?"
"Yes, Eric, we are already friends, so I have to say sorry to you. Actually, my main purpose for coming today is not to ride with you. I was entrusted by an elder to give you Take a message and ask if you are willing to accept an invitation to meet. I need to solemnly apologize to you again for my very ungentleman behavior of approaching you with a non-simple purpose."
Tan Zhenhua smiled and replied: "Well, George, you have already said that you are humble, and I now accept it. Let us forget these trivial things, but you are talking about an invitation from an elder?"
"Yes."
"Well, let me have a guess, your elder, wouldn't it happen to be Rothschild?"
George Herbert sighed: "Eric, I have to admit that your guess is too accurate. Although I don't like this elder, I have to admit that it is indeed him."
Tan Zhenhua smiled again and said: "Oh, George, you can reply to this elder. I, Eric Tan, feel very honored to receive this invitation. Please tell me the time and place. I will definitely be there on time, but Before this, my dear George, don’t you think that the amount of exercise this morning was very large, and for people of our age, it is very necessary to replenish energy in time?"
George Herbert suddenly smiled in relief: "Eric, you are right. For people of our age, a timely meal is very necessary. Well, I solemnly recommend it to you. Our most famous delicacy in Highclere Manor-grilled veal steak, I think, although you have lived here for so long, but this dish must have not tasted? I will let the butler to prepare, we can Having lunch in the annexe where I lived when I was a child, I think you will not be disappointed."
"Oh, my dear George, you successfully seduced a... no, it was the appetite of two young people from the big food empire, so you must be responsible for your words to the end, otherwise my companion and I will always I will never forgive you."
...
"Zhenhua, are you back? Come to the room with me."
Tan Zhenhua finished the lunch with George Herbert and just returned to Highclere Castle, he saw Yifu Shao speaking to him with a serious face, and this can be seen from the appearance of the old man standing at the door with a cane , I am afraid he has been waiting here for quite a while.
"What's the matter, grandpa, what happened?" Shao Yifu's appearance made Tan Zhenhua feel shocked. He had almost never seen this "Grandpa" who had always been very kind in front of him showing such a solemn and serious expression.
"You follow me into the house first." Shao Yifu rarely answered Tan Zhenhua's question directly, but turned and left.
Helpless, Tan Zhenhua had to step forward and grabbed Shao Yifu, and the two entered his room together.
Then he discovered that there were still two people in the room. One of the middle-aged people he knew was the butler of Shao Yifu's Xiangjiang Mansion. He couldn't help but wondered: "Uncle Zheng, why are you here? Grandpa called you over. Do you think Zheng Ge did a good job this time?"
Uncle Zheng shook his head and said: "Young Master Tan, I am only accompanying. This gentleman must meet you in person, and his identity is a bit embarrassing. Without me watching him, he is not reassuring on the road."
Tan Zhenhua then turned his face and looked carefully at another young man in the room, who was about 27 or 28 years old.
This person is about the same height as Tan Zhenhua, about 1.8 meters tall and well-proportioned. It can be seen that he must have maintained a lot of exercise for a long time. His complexion is dark, but his appearance is unexpectedly charming... Use this term to describe a man It was a bit weird, but Tan Zhenhua felt that it was extremely suitable for this person. Yes, it was charming, the kind of charming that made people irritated with a smile.
It’s just that, on this charming face, there is a striking scar on the left half of the forehead. The scar has been seen for some years, but it is strange to say that this scar should be replaced in the same part of someone else, so you have to say yes. The picture is broken, but on this person's face, he adds a sense of heroism in the charming.
Tan Zhenhua was sure that he had never seen this person before, and he couldn't help being even more strange. He asked: "Hello, gentleman, I am the Tan Zhenhua you are looking for, may I ask you?"
The man looked at him up and down a few times and nodded affirmatively: "It seems that you are indeed right, hello Zhenhua, introduce yourself, my name is Huang Zongxin."
