Chapter 180 Gambling
"The Prince?"
"You read it?"
Kate also found that he asked a very stupid question, so he shut up awkwardly after saying this. Joseph couldn't help but chuckled, which made Kate very dissatisfied.
"Is this the gift you gave to Wei Yixin? I think it's more appropriate if it's Capital Theory, the monarch... I'm worried that Wei Yixin will be more treasonous."
This is naturally a joke. Kate coquettishly ignoring Joseph's phone call and asked the hotel service staff to prepare a beautiful box, and then began to dress up.
The Governor's banquet could not be as casual as he had just gone out to play. After all, it was a top class in the country, and Kate had to show his dignified and noble side.
"I think life like this is so tiring, not at all casual."
Lying on the bed, Joseph tilted his head and watched Kate dress up. He took off his coat and exposed his crystal jade back. It was not that Kate had become accustomed to it, but that she wanted to drive Joseph away from Joseph and had no choice but to not leave. Fortunately, Joseph did not stare at Kate deliberately, otherwise she would probably take a long time to take off and change into her dress.
With jewelry in front of the mirror, Kate asked casually: "Is this the reason why you chose to study abroad? Want to find a free space to be unrestrained and relax?"
"A space of freedom? Where is Nord more free in the world? I just want to re-experience the life of the 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 confusion. Joseph, who noticed this gaze, grinned at her and praised: "It's very beautiful."
With a coquettish and coquettish sentence, Kate no longer pursued these things. Joseph couldn't help but sigh that praise was the best weapon for a woman in the government, and any topic could be changed.
It is naturally different to attend a banquet and go out for a trip. At least you can't hike to the Governor's Mansion. If you really do this, you probably can't wear Kate's dress when you walk there.
Shangri-La Hotel is quite powerful. Although the white Rolls-Royce in the Presidential Suite does not meet Joseph's identity, it is already very good to find such a white Rolls-Royce when there is no better vehicle.
"It almost turned into its own vehicle. But I guess Audi won't let it go."
This was Joseph's first sentence to Kate after getting on the bus, and the driver in front couldn't help but look at him. When he discovered Kate's beauty, his attention was still distracted.
Women are naturally beautiful, provided that you can wear makeup. Kate herself has a 90-minute beauty, and now she has 99 points after careful decoration. The worse point is that she is too dignified and noble, giving people a sense of alienation. Of course, this sense of alienation does not include Joseph.
"I think it's a wrong decision for you to focus on supporting the IT industry. Traditional industries like Audi are the comprehensive scores of a country, steel, oil..."
"Kate, we are going to attend the Governor's banquet, not the European Commission."
Joseph's helplessness made Kate pause slightly, and then smiled apologetically and stopped talking, but her inner thoughts did not change. The dispute over the Principality of Nord will inevitably reappear in the future. However, Joseph does not care about these things, because in the future, Kate's enemies will inevitably be a group of guys in the cabinet who have seen it develop, 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. In the future, she will definitely fall into a very miserable fight! Because the rise of IT is unstoppable, the heavy industry... Without large-scale reform, 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 the top vehicle here. Not to mention the two silver Rolls-Royces, they are just the Bugatti Veyron, Bentley RV, and limited edition Porsche, which are more than the white Rolls-Royce that Joseph rides in in simple prices.
Of course, when it comes to identity, Joseph is well-deserved first, and no one dares to deny this.
"Grand Duke Joseph, Marquis Kate, the Harbor City welcomes you."
Wei Yixin was still very energetic at this time. When he saw Joseph and Kate get off the car, he took the initiative to come forward. The guests who saw this scene focused on Joseph and Kate.
"The Governor of Hong Kong seems to be a little late."
Joseph couldn't help but tease Wei Yixin, and Kate was much more friendly and smiled softly: "When I was in London, I heard that the Queen valued Sir Wei Yixin very much. This is our first time meeting."
For example, Joseph's jokes about Wei Yixin cannot answer at all. Fortunately, Kate made up for it in time, which gave Wei Yixin a step. He looked at him with thanks and hurriedly took the lead in leading the way.
Joseph didn't like Wei Yixin, but he felt that he had no kindness to hold a banquet and invite him so much, so he pleased him.
"It seems that this Grand Duke Nord is not as friendly as he imagined."
"I don't think it's anything. It's normal for me to behave like this at a young age."
"He is Grand Duke Nord? It's nothing!"
"It seems that we will seize the opportunity tonight, but the one next to him..."
Among the guests, everyone has their own thoughts. The rich and politicians are mainly concerned about Joseph's personality, while some young people are mainly dissatisfied, while the thoughts of socialites are self-evident.
Momenting at the young handsome guy who couldn't even take his eyes back, Wei Yixin said in a pun: "Marte Kate is very beautiful today."
"Thank you, the development of Harbor City is really good."
Kate could naturally hear Wei Yixin's small counterattack, but she was not polite at all, and directly used the development of Hong Kong City to block Wei Yixin's mouth! The development of Hong Kong City is as good as the local land of the Principal of Nord? What are some young heroes here? How can they be compared with Joseph?
Joseph was undoubtedly the kind that Wei Yixin could not afford to offend, so he said it casually and stopped talking. He smiled slightly and began to introduce some of the VIP guests at the banquet in detail.
The political champion Joseph was also very interested in these deafening rich people in their previous lives, so the conversation between the two sides was very smooth. Even if these rich people had a certain influence internationally, they did not have 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, there have been too many business opportunities today, which are the things that businessmen pay most attention to.
"In terms of the development of Port City, 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 wealthy people and politicians were unwilling to accept this fact, they still nodded in agreement.
"Population and land all limit its development. In the agreed 1997 years, I am an opportunity for Port City."
Joseph spoke out bluntly, but this topic was not something that these wealthy people in the Hong Kong city liked, because they still had a lot of worries. After all, the systems were different and the social environment was different. Too big changes were unbearable.
"It's an opportunity and a crisis. Not many people can afford such a price."
The head of the Li family is not very optimistic. It is mainly because it has not reached that day. Now everything is false. Once the choice is wrong, they may be doomed and their tens of billions of dollars of property disappears in an instant.
"How about making a bet? My bet with you."
"Just bet on this?"
"Yes, just bet on this."
Wei Yixin was not here because he was not willing to participate in such a topic. Kate was on the side, but she never spoke on similar occasions.
“What is the bet?”
Because of the position, there is no need to say much about the specific situation. What we need to talk about now is the betting issue. No one is worried about credibility. After all, this is just an extra thing.
How to choose them is determined, and you have already figured out whether to leave or not. Now that Joseph is willing to bet, they are willing to accompany him, and they will not leave. If they can still have some capital to make a comeback as they think. Win? If they can do so, they would rather follow Joseph's idea.
"If the mainland side takes action against you, then I will give you 100 million euros each. If you don't take action, then you owe me a favor."
Money is good but favors are hard to repay. This has been said since ancient times. Therefore, fundamentally speaking, the rich people in the Hong Kong City are the ones who suffer losses, but in fact they agreed to the bet without any hesitation.
Wei Yixin was embarrassed at such an occasion, so he did not show up. Some newspaper shareholders quietly recorded the conversation, and it was obvious that this bet would be the hottest news tomorrow.
Compared with Western aristocrats, these wealthy people in the port city who had developed hundreds of years ago were slightly less expensive to some extent. At least they did not know much about some wine. Of course, due to the influence of the United Kingdom, they could only say that they were not very proficient and that they could not understand it.
The banquet ends, on the way back to the hotel
"Doing this will embarrass Sir Wei Yixin."
"He is the one who is more lucky, and his successor is unlucky."
Kate obviously knew what Joseph was referring to, but she was very strange. How did Joseph only know that Wei Yixin could not do it for 1997 years, and how could he be so sure that Hong Kong City would return to China. There were nearly ten years left, and no one could have imagined what would happen in ten years.
"Intuition, the intuition of a man."
This answer made Kate very dissatisfied. She felt that Joseph was playing with her, and she was reluctant to be used to make fun of it in such matters.
"Let's wait and see."
