MTL - Reborn Russia As An Oligarch-Chapter 838 Duke of Cambridge

  Chapter 838 The Duke of Cambridge

  Wang Ye's eyes widened at once, with a surprised expression on his face, because this was beyond his expectation.

  The other party is going to spend a lot of money!

  That is a hereditary nobleman!

  The entire British royal family can't find a few.

   Apart from the queen, her husband, several sons, and the princess, there are no other hereditary nobles.

   But now, Charles actually said that he would grant himself the title of hereditary nobleman!

  How can this not surprise Wang Ye.

  Seeing Wang Ye's surprised expression, Charles showed a satisfied smile on his face.

   This time, the British royal family really paid a lot of money!

  He discussed with the queen for two days, and after repeated discussions, he finally decided to grant Wangye the honorable title of hereditary nobleman.

   More importantly, it is still the highest duke title!

   "The queen said that she intends to set up a new title for you and your descendants, called the Duke of Cambridge!" Charles said with a smile.

   Good guy, the hereditary duke, the queen is really willing...

  Because such a hereditary title is usually only awarded to the queen's own son or grandson, outsiders don't even think about it!

   Now he is willing to give it to Wang Ye.

  The Duke of Cambridge…

  This title Wangye seems a little familiar.

   After thinking about it, Wang Ye remembered that this title should have only appeared in 2011. It was a new title awarded to Prince William.

   As a result, I changed "history" again!

  The Queen actually wants to award this title to herself...

  Seeing that Wang Ye was silent, Charles added:

   "The duke is not an ordinary nobleman. Even in our British royal family, apart from a few princes, there are no living dukes!

  And you, the Duke of Cambridge, can be hereditary, and you have a separate fiefdom.

   Of course, the fief will not be very large.

  In Cambridgeshire, there is a manor owned by the royal family.

  The queen will take that manor with a forest, about ten hectares of land, as the fiefdom of the Duke of Cambridge! "

  The area of ​​the fiefdom is indeed small, and in Cambridgeshire, the land price is not high.

  As for the manor, don’t think about it. If you have a high EQ, it means “a long history”, and if you have a low EQ, it means “dilapidated”...

   But the question is not value, but meaning!

  Having a fixed fief and being a hereditary duke is a great gift.

  Is the British royal family so generous?

   Calculate how many dukes there were in the whole of the UK in 2004.

  The queen herself holds two duke titles, Duke of Lancaster and Duke of Normandy!

  The queen's husband, Prince Philip, holds a duke title, the Duke of Edinburgh!

  Prince Charles, holds two duke titles, Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rosyth.

  The "Duke of Cornwall" is very important!

  Because only the number one successor can get the duke title, Charles didn’t really succeed until 70 years after he was named the Duke of Cornwall...

  Prince Andrew, Charles' younger brother, the Duke of York.

  Oh, the two brothers William and Harry are not eligible for the title of duke at this time!

  ...

   Grinning his lips, Wang Ye smiled and said, "This...how embarrassing! No reward for no merit, this gift from the Queen is too expensive!"

Charles quickly said: "This title will not be awarded to you immediately, but the formal award ceremony will not be held until you and the Grand Duke Rosiana actually get married. Now tell you, I want you to have Mentally prepare."

   Well, it seems that this gift is not so easy to get.

  The British royal family is also the master who does not scatter eagles when they see rabbits.

   The blank check was issued first, but if you want to cash it, you have to wait another two years...

  Wang Ye even speculated "with malicious intentions" that the reason why the British royal family spent so much money was because they wanted to save a generous gift when they got married!

  Because when I really want to get married, the congratulatory gift from the "relatives" of the British royal family must be sufficient and worthy of the status of the British royal family.

  But they may also be reluctant to give up a truly valuable gift.

  So I came up with this idea, which doesn't cost much money, but it will definitely satisfy Wangye and the Romanov family.

  Although the Romanov family was once the royal family, the current Romanov family does not have the power to confer titles. Only the British royal family has such power.

  But even if the British royal family really wanted to save money, Wang Ye didn't mind.

  Compared with gifts worth tens of millions of dollars, the title of the hereditary duke is obviously more suitable for him. He is not short of that little money, what he lacks is reputation and popularity!

  ...

  The trip to London is over, and both parties are happy.

  The British royal family found a new investment channel and got the opportunity to take a stake in the Kitty Eagle Group.

   Even established a good relationship with Mikhail, a big man who is in full swing in Russia, and also recognized a distant relative by the way...

  Wang Ye did not return empty-handed.

   He has gotten closer to the British royal family, and even got a blank check from the Duke of Cambridge. After cashing it in the future, he can almost walk sideways in London...

  When others call him again, they must use the prefix!

   For example, "Most noble Duke of Cambridge, His Royal Highness Mikhail"…

   Don’t think it’s ridiculous, even modern Britain treats real nobles like this!

   And on your ID card, your title of nobility will be added to distinguish you from ordinary people!

When Wang Ye told Rosiana about this, she just curled her lips and jokingly said: "You are just a duke, and I am a grand duke, although they are considered to be of the same rank, but strictly speaking, a grand duke is a bit higher than a duke. So, I'm still above you!"

   "Haha, it doesn't matter who is above whom, and I don't care about that." Wang Ye smiled heartily.

  ...

  Before leaving London, Wang Ye took the time to meet with David Dane, the general manager of the Arsenal club.

  The current David Dane is obviously in good spirits, with a flushed face.

   It even looks fatter than before!

   Apparently, recently, he has been doing well.

   "The team performed very well. This year's league championship and the Champions League final should be no problem. Will I still need to invest money next year?" Wang Ye asked with a smile.

David Dane grinned and responded happily: "The league championship is definitely no problem. It's hard to say about the Champions League. It's a cup game, and it's easy to upset. But judging from the current state of the team, there shouldn't be any problems. No need next year." You have added more funds, and now the financial situation of the club is very good! We can even save a lot of funds next year, because our team structure is perfect, and we don’t need to make any big moves in the transfer market. At most, we will introduce more Just a few substitute players..."

  He is happy from the bottom of his heart.

  As the most loyal fan of Arsenal, David Dane gave up the well-paid financial industry before, but invested all his net worth in the Arsenal club.

  Having experienced the glory and trough of Arsenal, and now under his personal leadership, seeing that the club is about to reach its peak, how can he not be happy.

   That is to say, he knew his story, so Wang Ye was relieved to hand over the Arsenal club to him.

  With David Dane and Wenger, one is in charge of club management and the other is in charge of team competition, this is definitely the best partner!

   Hearing what David Dane said, Wang Ye nodded. The development of the club was in line with his original plan.

  When he didn’t buy the club, Wang Ye planned to invest more in the first year to fundamentally improve the club’s financial situation and buy all the players that should be bought.

   Then the club no longer needs him to continue to invest more, but can self-generate blood and embark on the road of a virtuous circle.

   It’s not that Wang Ye has no money or is unwilling to spend money.

   No matter how nervous you are, it's not a problem to squeeze out 100 to 200 million dollars from anywhere.

  The main reason is that Wang Ye does not want Arsenal to become a team like Chelsea and Inter Milan. When the owner spends a lot of money, he can still maintain the operation of the club. Once the owner reduces investment or does not invest enough, the team cannot continue to operate.

"The club has performed well this year. If it can make a bigger breakthrough in the Champions League, it will be a perfect season! In this way, you can discuss with Coach Wenger. If the team can win the Champions League, then the game will be played. All the prize money will be rewarded to everyone! This will also increase everyone's motivation." Wang Ye said with a smile.

David Dane was overjoyed, nodded quickly and said: "This is absolutely no problem! If you can win the Champions League in the end, the prize money of the game should be as high as 30 million euros. If this money is used as a bonus, everyone must be full of enthusiasm." Passion!"

  The Champions League is not just about honor.

  The reason why so many teams are fighting their lives in the Champions League and want to get a better ranking is mainly because they can get more bonuses!

  The UEFA Champions League bonus is divided into two parts, the game bonus and the market bonus.

  Each half and half.

  In 2004, the Champions League prize money was not so outrageous. Even if you can win the championship, the total prize money you get is about 50 million euros.

   But this amount of money is an astronomical sum for any club, including the giants!

  After all, the transfer fee for the top stars at that time was only 50 to 60 million euros.

   It means yes, if you win the Champions League, the team can buy another top star like Zidane, Figo, Beckham, Henry, Ronaldinho...

   Later, the Champions League prize money was even more outrageous. According to Wang Ye's knowledge, before he "come back", the revenue of the Champions League champion had reached hundreds of millions of euros!

  With Arsenal's current player configuration and competitive state, although it is not safe to say that they will win the Champions League, they are also the most competitive team, and the probability of winning is still very high.

  As the owner of the club, Wang Ye directly promised to distribute bonuses of up to tens of millions of euros to everyone, which is definitely very, very generous!

   In other clubs, there is no such precedent.

  If the players know, then they won’t have to scream during the game...

  For Wang Ye, the extra 30 million yuan is of no use. It is better to use it to motivate the team and let the team win the Champions League as much as possible.

   After all, if you want to become the top giants, it depends on your number of Champions League trophies.

  If there are not many Champions Leagues, how dare you call yourself a rich family...

  ...

  Everything in London is done, Wang Ye is about to go home.

   It was Charles who came forward again and sent him to the airport. The private jet had already been prepared and was ready to take off at any time.

  Brothers William and Harry also came. During the past few days in London, the two of them accompanied Wang Ye around, and they got along very well.

   In front of others, maybe the two of them can still be a little proud, but in front of Wang Ye, they really have no right to be proud.

   Except for one background, Wang Ye was beaten in every aspect.

   What's more, they also heard that when Wang Ye and Rosiana got married, the queen would grant him the title of hereditary duke, which made the two of them even more envious.

  Because even the two of them don’t have the title of duke yet!

"Misha, I hope you and Rosiana will often come to London to play in the future. William and Harry are your peers. You are so good, you can teach them more. Of course, in the future, it will be either me or William and Harry. I will often visit you in Moscow."

  Under the gangway of the plane, Charles held Wang Ye's hand tightly and said sincerely.

Wang Ye smiled slightly, and said calmly: "The queen and you are so flattering, I am flattered. Moscow is not far from London. Rosiana and I will come here often in the future. I hope you don't think we are annoying." it is good."

   "Haha, how is that possible! Absolutely not, the more you come here, the better." Charles said with a hearty smile.

  After half a day of politeness, Wang Ye was about to get on the plane, and waved his hand to say goodbye to Charles and his son.

  Harry secretly made a phone call gesture.

  He had exchanged contact information with Wang Ye a long time ago. Looking at it like this, he might secretly go to Moscow to find Wang Ye in the future.

  They are two brothers, William is old and steady, much like his father Charles.

  And Harry is lively by nature, or a bit rebellious, otherwise he would not have turned against the British royal family for a second-married woman in the future.

  Wang Ye nodded with a smile, and took Rosiana's hand up the gangway.

  Watching Wang Ye enter the plane, the gangway was retracted, and the roar of the engine sounded.

  Charles and his son were still standing by the convoy, watching the plane take off.

  Harry said enviously: "Misha's plane is really beautiful. This is the latest Gulfstream G550. I heard that it costs tens of millions of dollars. If the interior decoration is luxurious, it can even exceed 100 million dollars."

  He doesn't even have a duke title now, so it can be said that he is still "very poor"!

  The annual living expenses and pocket money are more than 200,000 pounds allocated by the royal family. Even if grandma and mother secretly give some pocket money, it will not exceed 1 million pounds that year.

  So life is relatively "simple".

   Seeing that my peers own such luxurious private jets, I am naturally a little envious.

Hearing what the youngest son said, Charles scolded him with a straight face, "Misha got it by himself, if you had business talent like him, you could also afford such a private jet, but it's a pity you don't! "
