Chapter 1227 1225 [Earl Stone makes his grand appearance!]
Everyone looked sideways, wondering who this "Hong Kong Shi Zhijian" who stepped forward to win the title instead of Sir Brown was?
President Mark looked at Charlie, and Miss Dixiang also looked at Charlie. They felt that Charlie should know.
Charlie knows something!
He just knew the news!
Just as everyone was speculating, a man stood up, straightened his suit, and then walked towards the stage.
Mark was shocked, and Di Xiang was even more shocked!
In the incredulous expressions of everyone, in the astonishment of Mr. Mark, in the astonishment of Miss Dixiang, in the astonishment of Master Charlie, in the astonishment of the onlookers whose eyeballs exploded all over the floor————
Shi Zhijian calmly walked up to the front desk and hugged Octavia, who was hosting the event, affectionately with a proud attitude: "Thank you, dear Octavia, thank you for helping to host this event!"
"This is what I should do, dear Shi!" Octavia already knew the details of Shi Zhijian from Sir Brown. For such a strong and outstanding young man, she not only admired him but also had a little bit of admiration.
At this time, someone took the reins of the bloody horse and handed it to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian turned to face the audience.
"Sorry friends, I forgot to introduce myself! I, Shi Zhijian, come from Hong Kong. I am honored to purchase this bloody horse from Sir Brown. In other words, from today on, I am the new owner of 'Alexander'!"
Boom!
It shocked everyone's eyes.
Shi Zhijian became a "horse owner" in this way, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
"What's going on? Why did Sir Browne sell the colt to him?"
"Is he some great big shot?"
"He looks so young and handsome!"
"Yeah, he looks a bit more handsome than Charlie!"
After listening to everyone's words, Charlie felt his face heat up. He thought he was the most handsome man in the world just now, but in the blink of an eye these women betrayed him and had new loves!
But what made Charlie even more frustrated was what Shi Zhijian said next: "Of course, before buying Alexander, I also bought Mr. Charlie's jockey contract! In other words, in the next three years, Mr. Charlie
He will work for me, drive Alexander, and help me compete in major competitions! Here, please give Charlie a little applause and let him keep up the good work!"
Bang bang bang!
Although the applause is not loud, it is enough to humiliate people!
The hero who showed off his power just now, Master Charlie, who did not take Shi Zhijian seriously at all, was instantly reduced to a wage earner under Shi Zhijian!
Charlie's face turned green and white, his nose was sneezing, and his eyes were about to burst into flames!
President Mark didn't care about Charlie's mood at all, and even asked: "Charlie, what happened? How did Peter Jian become Shi Zhijian? How did he become Alexander's master?"
Charlie rolled his eyes, not caring about giving Mark face and choked out: "How do I know? You brought him here, and I know him best! You should know better than me who he is!"
"You, you, you, how can you talk to me in this tone?" Mark said angrily.
"I'm telling the truth! Why, you still want to protect that kid? Seriously, did you collude and deliberately let me make a fool of myself here?" Charlie said rudely.
Mark was so angry that he couldn't speak. Di Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to help him comb his chest.
Seeing this, Charlie stood up suddenly, ran onto the stage desperately, pointed at Shi Zhijian and shouted: "I protest! This horse belongs to Sir Brown, how can it be yours? You are talking nonsense here and your behavior is shameful!"
President Mark was originally unwilling to follow him, but in the eyes of everyone, he and Charlie were on the same side, especially when his daughter Di Xiang accepted the trophy sent by Charlie just now!
Mark had no choice but to step forward, fearing that the two would fight.
Di Xiang also hurriedly followed.
She now regrets accepting the trophy.
Back in the stands, facing Charlie's question, Shi Zhijian smiled faintly: "Really? It seems like you don't believe me very much! But what should I do? I did spend one million US dollars to buy this BMW from Sir Brown.
, By the way, there is also your signing contract! If you want to see the proof, I will show it to you; if you want to find a witness, Miss Octavia next to me is the best witness! Because
She was by my side when I signed the contract with Sir Brown!"
"Yes, I can prove it!" Octavia stood up and smiled charmingly at Shi Zhijian, which made countless men fall in love and feel that she was smiling at them.
Who is Octavia?
The Italian female star is also a very popular figure in France, and her words are absolutely trustworthy! What’s more, there are so many media reporters at the scene, and she will never lie to damage her reputation.
"It looks real!"
"One million dollars is not a small amount of money!"
"Yes, that horse and Master Charlie will have to work under someone else's hands from now on!"
Charlie's cheeks were burning. He thought he could stand up and stand up if he stood up to refute Shi Zhijian, but unexpectedly, he slapped him hard. Everyone he looked at now felt like everyone was mocking him.
"But who is this man, and how does he know Sir Brown?"
Not to mention the audience, even Charlie was confused!
How could a poor boy from Hong Kong, an international student, afford one million US dollars to buy this BMW?
There must be some fraud!
Just as Charlie was racking his brains, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Look, Sir Brown is here!"
There was a commotion at the scene!
Charlie, Mark and Di Xiang also followed the sound, and saw an old white man wearing a gray suit, a vest, a pocket watch on the vest, a gray hat on his head, and holding a civilized stick, walking towards him with great style.
"Sir Brown, you are finally here!" Charlie was overjoyed, as if he had found a life-saving straw.
Mark was also very surprised. He did not expect to meet the famous Sir Brown here.
In full view of everyone, Sir Brown ignored Charlie's excitement and went straight to President Mark.
Charlie was a little disappointed, but President Mark became excited, guessing that Sir Brown must have known his identity, and immediately reached out his hand and said: "Hello, sir, I am France..."
Sir Brown passed him by!
I didn’t even see President Mark’s outstretched hand!
How embarrassing!
President Mark felt his old face was burning hot!
Under everyone's surprised gazes, Sir Brown walked directly to Shi Zhijian holding a civilized stick, and took the initiative to shake hands with Shi Zhijian and said: "Sorry, dear Shi, I'm late!"
This short sentence caused a burst of exclamation from the audience.
"Oh my god, what is their relationship?!"
To these confused Frenchmen, Shi Zhijian was like a comet that appeared in the sky and illuminated the entire racecourse at once! In particular, his relationship with Sir Brown has become a mystery of the century!
Di Xiang watched the old knight shaking hands with Shi Zhijian cordially. He had not yet woken up from the shock, and his eyes were full of surprise.
Charlie looked at everything in front of him, his jaw dropped, and at the same time he began to be filled with inexplicable jealousy towards Shi Zhijian!
…
In fact, the relationship between Shi Zhijian and Sir Brown is really special!
Because they have a common matchmaker, the American tycoon Rockefeller! That is Shi Zhijian's old friend "Wang Fugui"!
At that time, Rockefeller was invited by Shi Zhijian under the pseudonym "Wang Fugui" to go to Hong Kong to promote charity. The two formed a deep friendship in Shi Zhijian's own tenement building.
After Rockefeller left Hong Kong and returned to the United States, he introduced some resources and important business partners in Europe to Shi Zhijian, including Sir Brown.
As we all know, Sir Brown comes from a famous French family. His ancestors once followed the French Emperor Napoleon in his campaigns in the east and west, and made great contributions, which enabled the family to rise during the Napoleon era and become one of the most powerful families in France.
Unfortunately, the glorious days were short-lived. With the fall, restoration, and death of Napoleon, the Brown family also followed suit, and finally gained a firm foothold during the reign of Napoleon III.
However, with the collapse of Napoleon III, the Brown family was once again deposed by Robespierre, the French democratic revolutionary known as the "Scythe of Death"!
The Brown family is completely in decline!
From the top to the bottom!
In Brown's generation, life was even more difficult. Although he held the title of a wealthy and distinguished family, he could not make ends meet, and almost all of his family's property was sold! Brown himself also indulged in alcohol and debauchery to numb himself.
At this time, Rockefeller, who came to France to find a business partner, met Brown.
Rockefeller had a good impression of the Brown family. The most important thing was that Rockefeller and Brown hit it off at first sight.
As a result, during the relationship, the two parties first became good business partners. Rockefeller asked Brown to act as his oil agent and run the oil business in France.
After his business became big, Brown relied on his personal talents to quickly break away from Rockefeller and set up his own business. He imported crude oil from the Middle East and other regions, opened a refinery to refine oil, and became one of the top oil tycoons in France.
After making his fortune in the oil business, Brown began to get involved in France's hotel, catering, gambling and tourism industries, making a lot of money.
Since leaving Rockefeller's control, the relationship between Sir Brown and Rockefeller has not deteriorated. On the contrary, Locke has always said with a smile: "My ponyboy has grown up!"
In fact, this is indeed the case. From the beginning, Rockefeller cultivated Brown as a "son", even though there was only a ten-year age difference between them!
Rockefeller's biggest interest in France was not how much money he made, but to cultivate a boss who could influence the French business and political situation!
Brown, did it!
This is the relationship between Brown and Rockefeller, "both teachers and friends", more like "father and son"!
It is precisely because of this that when Rockefeller recommended Shi Zhijian to Brown, Brown took it so seriously and vaguely felt that Shi Zhijian might be the Hong Kong version of himself.
Although Shi Zhijian and Brown "know each other", they have never met.
The reason why he dared to come to France to confront the Downey-Rothschild family this time was because Brown was the biggest bargaining chip.
Brown appears to be a French tycoon, but in fact he represents the Rockefeller family, because his various businesses have been mixed with the Rockefeller family's business and are inseparable.
As we all know, the Rockefeller family and the Rothschild family are natural enemies.
The Rockefeller family started from oil, and the Rothschild family started from finance.
But oil and finance are two inseparable industries!
When oil prices skyrocket, finance will collapse. On the contrary, when oil prices are low, finance will rise up!
As a natural enemy, Shi Zhijian asked Brown to help deal with Downey. It was absolutely a natural progression.
…
After Sir Brown shook hands with Shi Zhijian, he turned to look at Charlie.
Charlie hurriedly came over and said, "Sir, what are your orders?" He gestured respectfully.
Brown snorted: "How did you treat my distinguished guest just now?"
"That I -"
"You have been with me for so long, and you don't even have the slightest sense of propriety! My dear Shi is my closest friend! He is not only the president of a large Hong Kong group, but also an earl of the British Empire!"
With a bang, the scene exploded!
Everyone’s heads exploded collectively!
"What, count?"
Everyone looked at Shi Zhijian with wide eyes, "How can there be such a young earl in the world? The most important thing is that he is Chinese!"
Charlie's head was buzzing, Count, how is this possible?
President Mark felt that he didn’t have enough brains. He looked at Shi Zhijian as if he saw a monster!
Di Xiang's face was filled with astonishment. It was really difficult to accept such a huge change in Shi Zhijian's identity!
From a poor overseas student, he suddenly became the president of a group, an Earl of the British Empire?!
Oh my god, am I crazy, or is the world crazy?!
As we all know, apart from the United Kingdom, the only country in Europe that can perfectly maintain a knighthood is France!
As the big brother in Europe, Britain has always bullied France, the second largest brother. France finally got a tough emperor Napoleon and swept across Europe, but in the end it was defeated by the British fierce general Wellington!
But in terms of knighthood levels, the French, who have never given up, have always regarded Britain as their "idol". Even though France has abolished the aristocratic system in modern times and can no longer confer knights and nobles like the British Queen, France still follows the same example.
Lao maintained the hereditary title system.
In other words, France has abolished the nobility system, but has not banned noble titles, and titles are protected by law.
The Bourbon family went to court to fight for the title of Duke of Anjou. Descendants of French nobles also have a non-governmental organization called the "Hereditary Titles Administration", which is similar to relying on "genealogy" and "family tree" to authenticate identities and deal with matters such as fraudulent use of titles.
.
For the French, their obsession with noble titles far exceeds that of any other country or any era! It is in line with the saying "the less you can get, the better it is!"
Therefore, the French have always held the British title system in high esteem. When a small British baron comes to France, he will be welcomed by the whole country!
In front of me, Shi Zhijian is not only a noble knight, but also a third-class earl after the Duke and Marquis!
