Chapter 256 Your Ancestors Are Actually Nobles?
After landing in London, I changed planes and landed in Paris three hours later.
It took nearly two and a half hours to wait for the flight.
With Lin Nuo here, all procedures will be easy to handle.
If it was really Wan Hong and two little girls, they would definitely not be able to handle it!
Oh, Wan Hong will definitely not come even if he comes.
It was late at night when we arrived in Paris.
Lin Nuo greeted him in advance and drove his old classmate who was guarding the winery to pick him up personally.
"Mom, this is Louis, my classmate in Paris." Lin Nuo introduced.
Wan Hong smiled awkwardly, but she didn't know foreign languages and didn't dare to speak.
On the contrary, it was Lotte who greeted the other party in English: "This is the first time we meet, please give me some advice."
It's a really stiff and formal greeting.
Louis gave them a bright smile, with high emotional intelligence and not showing anything strange, so as not to make them embarrassed.
After all, ladies here in Louis are all lovely and delicate flowers that need to be treated with tenderness.
"Hello, my name is Louis." As soon as the words came out, they came out in Chinese with an accent!
The three women were really shocked. Si Xiaoxiao even asked directly:
"You can actually speak our Chinese language?"
"A little bit!" Louis was obviously very talkative:
"In my half of the manor, half of the housekeepers and servants are Tang people hired by Lin Nuo."
“I really like the Chinese dishes they make!”
"Oh, there are also Chinese handicrafts, I love them too!"ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
Then there was a lot of banging!
Lin Nuo helplessly held his forehead and kept reminding: "Louis, it's raining outside, it's dark, and the road is slippery. Drive steadily!"
It’s about 28 kilometers from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Linno’s manor.
Louis was so chatty that the atmosphere in the car quickly became lively, and with the addition of Si Xiaoxiao, a curious baby, the journey was very joyful!
From his words, everyone learned that his ancestors were actually nobles.
It is said that Louis' grandfather's grandfather was a duke.
There are also countless properties in his name.
Later, the Great Revolution came.
Many members of the Lewis family were killed during the turmoil.
The Lewis family were distant relatives who had moved to the country.
The inheritance law of the Frankish royal family was very different from that of other European countries.
If the title and property of the ancestors are passed down, according to the tradition of passing it on to the male rather than to the female, starting from the direct relatives and going down.
Only if the direct heir of this line dies or gives up the inheritance of property, then the collateral line can inherit.
Of course, the Frankish royal family was relatively completely reformed, unlike the constitutional monarchy country next door, which still retained its royal family.
However, the huge royal family, duke family, etc., now, apart from having no title, should still be a family.
With hundreds of years of inheritance, it is impossible for them to die just because they fall.
These large families are still active at the top of the social pyramid.
For example, the Bourbon family and the Napoleon family.
The Louis family is a branch of Bourbon. To use the analogy of domestic clan relations, that is the main family.
To put it more simply, it is the same as the relationship between Si Letian and Si Xiaoxiao.
Si Chen's family gave up on inheriting the property left by Grandpa Si Letian's grandfather for various reasons.
In the end, the inheritance rights fell on Si Xiaoxiao.
It is impossible to go around like this in China, but this is what happens abroad.
Si Xiaoxiao listened to the gossip along the way and concluded:
"So, Louis, you have no money to pay taxes and inherit the ancestral property, so you approached my brother Nuo and asked him to provide financing for you?"
When Louis heard this, he burst out laughing: "Well, yes, financing!"
"After Brother Nuo financed you, you got a huge inheritance, and you mortgaged half of a manor in the inheritance to Brother Nuo, right?"
"Yes, you understand it very well." Louis was very open-minded and said:
"Actually, what I originally set my sights on was Nuolan Manor. My dream is to be a great winemaker!"
"Nolan Manor contains a wine growing and brewing industry."
"At the beginning, I had no money to inherit the manor, so I had no choice but to ask Nuolan for financing."
The Nuolan in Lewis's mouth is the name used by Lin Nuo abroad, n.
Of course, Nuolan Manor was not called this name at first. It was changed by Lin Nuo after he acquired it.
This is exactly what Louis said earlier, half of the estate belongs to him.
Nuolan Manor is half owned by Louis and half by Lin Nuo.
Si Xiaoxiao listened to these gossips happily, but Si Letian was silently learning from experience:
To get financing, you have to settle accounts with friends.
Never just lend money to someone stupidly!
Foreigners are different from us. One is one, and two is two.
There is no such thing as a humane society.
You must help the other party while getting reasonable benefits for yourself!
A few people were chatting and laughing as the car passed through the center of Paris.
Outside the car window, bars are everywhere, tall buildings are towering, and neon lights are flashing.
Paris in 1989 was indeed more modern, with the luxury of a metropolis everywhere.
Si Letian and Si Xiaoxiao were lying on the car window, as if they had opened the door to a new world. Curious babies, their eyes are not enough!
In the co-pilot, Lin Nuo, who closed his eyes to relax, was silently thinking about a question:
Should we arrange for Louis to be the French teacher for his two younger sisters?
…
After Sichen's business in Kyoto got on the right track, he returned to Longcheng.
Yan Lixia is currently focusing on her studies, and the accounting work in Yuanmeng County has been put on hold for the time being.
Sichen headquarters has a formal financial manager, and the personnel in the financial system have been improved at every level.
In Yuanmeng County, the headquarters sends audits every month.
Including major stores, auditors also check the accounts.
Various projects are progressing steadily, and Si Chen is thinking about opening a branch of the supermarket again.
In the evening, he and Yan Lixia planned to open the supermarket to Hexi District.
Hexi District is actually relatively rich because of coal!
Because it is located around Longcheng, Zhongzhou Province provides the greatest support to coal enterprises in Hexi District.
However, Hexi District is the hardest nut to crack for Si Chen!
In areas with coal, oil and other resources, people are relatively tough.
Moreover, the rich are so rich that the poor want to block the road and rob them.
Look at Black Gold Town.
If Si Chen wants to go to Hexi District, he must not go there hastily.
Just because you have a background doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
Seeing how cautious he was, Yan Lixia knew that Hexi District was a tough nut to crack and said:
"Si Chen, how about we free Hexi District first?"
Si Chen shook his head, held his delicate wife in his arms, and kneaded her:
"Now is the best time to settle in Hexi District."
"The district leaders there are about to change, so we can still seize the opportunity to move in."
"Once the situation stabilizes and the forces of all parties form a climate, everyone will divide the market."
"Then we really can't get in!"
In the last life, no matter how hard Si Chen tried, Hexi District could not let him get a piece of the big cake.
Instead, it can only stop at supermarket retail and cannot get land for development.
To be honest, his business scope includes more than just retail department stores.
estate.
If you want to get this piece of cake, of course you have to get wind of it and get the tickets before the district government plans it!
