British 1986

"No, no, no."

Even though Allen usually likes to play exciting things, when he thinks of Madeline, he can't connect the two words between this little girl and his wife. It's too abstract.

Besides, he doesn't like to play with nurturing.

"Don't refuse in a hurry!"

Seeing that Allen was actually resisting, Gustav was instantly unhappy.

He has also been doing psychological work for a long time, and even Madeleine has figured it out. Now that he is here with the real owner, if something goes wrong, wouldn't he become a clown?

No, he's still the Clown King.

"Look, Madeleine is actually not much younger than you, and you don't have a partner right now. Isn't my daughter still not worthy of you?"

"It's quite worthy."

Allen compared Madeleine's status without shame. Not talking about her net worth, but just her status, a foreign princess was still barely worthy of him. Even with this status, she was somewhat shuddering.

Like marriages between nobles, everyone pays attention to marriage.

It doesn't mean that he has to be forced to marry a wife he doesn't like. Anyway, Allen doesn't even have a father now, and no one cares about him, but that's not how things work.

Marriage alliance is the most traditional and most useful way to strengthen relationships between nobles.

First of all, find the right person.

Unless it is the second son of the family or a less important family member, marriages between nobles are rarely done to commoners.

Secondly, you must gain something through marriage.

For example, like Allen, most of his future business will involve industries such as catering and logistics, so it is best for him to choose a marriage partner from a family involved in transportation and shipping.

In this way, everyone has an in-law relationship, and they will feel more confident when working together in the future. They are all our own people, which is equivalent to getting a big boost out of thin air.

But looking at Madeline, she seems to have nothing but her status as a princess!

It doesn't matter whether the family wants money or connections. She has nothing but the status of a bare princess.

What's the use?

Allen is now a bargaining chip as long as he is not married. Even if it is not easy to marry with other nobles in the country because of his family's previous relationship, he has a wide range of choices, so why rush to find someone? A poor princess decides to get married?

Will this thing help the Swedish royal family escape poverty and become rich after getting married? !

Do you really think that Mr. Allen’s money came from the strong wind?

Gustav was young and frivolous at that time, and he suffered the disadvantage of not using the opportunity of a good in-law to strengthen himself.

What his queen was looking for was foreign civilians, and what she got in the end.

There were not many nobles in the country to help him, and in the end, the queen and he were not of the same mind.

To put it bluntly, it's not that Ellen looks down on the queen. With her pitiful knowledge, she doesn't even understand how normal social interactions occur within the aristocracy.

Women with long hair and short knowledge, who were not in the same circle to begin with, were forcibly combined in the name of some bullshit love. In the past few years, they might have dreamed of a prince and Cinderella, but when it came time to get down to business, What's the use?

Not only did she not give any help to Gustav, she even acted alienated and held him back.

If Gustav could endure the humiliation and find a marriage with a powerful family that could speak in the parliament, how could he be so cleanly stripped now?

Allen thought about these words for a short time, but he couldn't say them directly to Gustav. It would hurt his self-esteem too much.

"Alan, do you dislike our family's poor conditions?"

Gustav is quite a good guy. He has identified Allen. Of course, he has also thought about the various difficulties he will face in the process, such as the problem of being a good match.

What can he give to his daughter, or to Allen?

Gustave summarized a few points for himself, and finally found that the benefits he could give were extremely limited.

"Lao Gu, I have always regarded you as my good brother, you know"

"Alan, listen to me. If you and Madeleine get married in the future, I will give you the title of Duke!"

"."

Allen curled his lips. If Boss Cha had said this, he would be somewhat motivated, but what kind of thing is the Duke of Sweden?

Just stay where it's cool, he doesn't care.

"."

Looking at the expression on Allen's face, Gustave had a toothache. Sure enough, the silent silence was deafening. Although Allen didn't speak, his attitude was already very clear.

"Alan, we have known each other for such a long time. You know, I have always felt that you are very attractive to me. If I marry my daughter to you, you and Bertil will be real brothers in the future. You can"

"stop!"

Allen interrupted Gustav's words with a righteous look and retorted: "Old Gu, you can't say this nonsense. I have no interest in the internal affairs of the Swedish royal family at all. I am a person who always behaves and does things. It’s all about duty.”

"Yes, yes, what I mean is that you and Bertil can also help each other in the future. You are brothers."

Looking at Allen's face, Gustave even felt a little bored for a moment. What does duty mean?

What Christmas hanging case was reported on the news on TV? Others didn't know what was going on, but he knew it very well. Is this something a conscientious person could do?

"Okay, I think Madeleine is still so young. It's a bit early to talk about this kind of thing now. If you want her to stay here to go to school, then let her stay. I will treat her as a sister for now. From now on Let’s talk about it later.”

Seeing that although Allen said it tactfully, he did not refuse directly, Gustav sighed secretly in his heart.

For a "promising young man" like Allen, he wants to count on Allen to help his son in the future. Allen is definitely not stupid. People will also be picky about future marriage partners. Obviously, their family's conditions are not suitable for him. Eye.

Although it saved him face, Gustav still felt uncomfortable.

No one wants the princess that comes to my door!

Allen doesn't like the title, so what else can he do to attract Allen?

The key is that he doesn't have anything in his hands now. He still has some antiques at home, but Gustav himself doesn't believe it. Just relying on these antiques can make Allen change his mind?

Why.

When I think about Allen's young age, distinguished status, rich wealth, and even his own car factory.

Huh?

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed in Gustav's mind. Bentley is a luxury brand, but it is a purely hand-made car company. Production has always been a problem. Luxury is luxury, but whether it makes money or not is hard to say. allow.

If Allen has such a car company in his hands, is he interested in other car companies?

Or are you not interested in the opportunity to enhance Bentley itself?

And it just so happens that there is a car company in Sweden with very poor performance. If

Through his matchmaking, Allen was able to successfully win the car company at a very low price. Is this considered a big gift?

In this way, he still dares to look down on his daughter?

Thinking of this, Gustave, who had just experienced a little setback, instantly regained his energy and prepared to conduct an in-depth investigation of Bentley to see what the production workshop of this famous car company was like.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle!

Flights from London to Sydney have always been a popular route. Whether it is going home to visit relatives, traveling, or doing business, there are very frequent exchanges between the two places.

However, this route has not yet opened a direct flight. The first reason is that the distance is too far. A long flight is not only unfriendly to the crew members, but also unfriendly to the passengers.

Secondly, few of the current large civil aircraft can fly directly from London to Sydney with just one full tank of fuel. Although some large aircraft theoretically have enough fuel, civil aviation will never believe in theory, even before landing. Draining some fuel is wasting it. No airline dares to use just enough fuel to fly such a long distance. This is playing with fire.

Therefore, most flights from London to Sydney have to pass through Dubai, Babu Dhabi, Singapore and other places before arriving in Sydney. The whole journey takes more than 20 hours.

Allen looked like he was hopeless now. It was January 1994. He couldn't tell whether it was the 20th or the 21st. Anyway, he only remembered that he had been lying down since he got on the plane and listened. Listening to the faint sound of the engine outside, enjoying the service of the servants, living a prison-like life, it was too painful.

The main task of accompanying Boss Cha during his visit to Australia this time was to celebrate Australia’s National Day.

Their National Day is very interesting. It does not mean that this day is the day of Australia's "autonomy", but the day when Europeans landed on this island. In the words of some radical groups in Australia, it is the anniversary of the invasion.

Boss Cha came here to award medals to some local elites in Australia who have "made outstanding contributions" in recent years.

It seems to be called the Medal of Australia.

This thing is not a formal British medal, it is a local honor, just like the Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong. It's just for fun.

"Your Excellency. Your Highness calls you over."

Allen, who was in a daze, suddenly heard a long-lost natural sound. He had not seen Boss Cha since he got on the plane. Allen thought Boss Cha had forgotten him!

More than ten hours have passed. Has he fallen out of favor?

"Okay! I'll go now and lead the way!"

Allen sat up from the recliner with a sudden jerk, wiped his face, and couldn't wait to see Boss Cha. He was almost going crazy because of the suffocation, it was so boring!

After getting on the plane from London, Boss Cha took a nap first and then slept all the way to Singapore. After a layover to refuel, he handled some official business and took a shower before thinking of Allen.

It's not that he forgot about Allen, but

When I thought about the internal gathering of the royal family on the 23rd last month, Boss Cha specifically asked the Queen to mention the restoration of the Allen family guard force, but this matter was directly vetoed by the Queen.

On some issues, the boss and the queen have different stances and different ideas.

In the Queen's view, if the establishment of the Guard is restored, among other things, the funds to support this group of people must come from the royal funds.

Nowadays, the royal family's annual expenses are decreasing year by year, and they are all supported by the income from the fief. Now, if the old lady is asked to spend millions of pounds every year to raise a guard, she feels a little distressed.

There are already so many bodyguards, what kind of bodyguards do we need? It’s enough to have a guard chief just to show off!

The conversation between the mother and son seemed to have ended on bad terms.

As for Boss Cha, he is very face-conscious. Although he did not promise that the establishment of the Allen Guard would be restored, in his mind, as long as he talked to the Queen, it would not cost much per year. The problem Not big.

Now that the plan has been rejected, Boss Cha feels that he doesn't know what to say to Allen if he asks.

But it will come sooner or later. Seeing that it is not long before arriving in Sydney, this matter has to be said.

"Come here! Go and ask the Earl of Carmarthen to come over. I have something to say to him."

"yes!"

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

Allen looked at the rosy-faced and energetic Boss Cha, feeling a little disgusted.

Sitting on a special plane may not necessarily be comfortable. Of course Boss Cha must be comfortable, but he himself would not be comfortable.

"Coming? Look at this!"

Boss Cha saw Allen come in, looked at Allen's haggard expression, smiled, took out a document and handed it to Allen.

"OK!"

"Huh?"

Looking at the document in his hand, there were a few big words on the cover, Canadian Empire Games.

Just this topic confused Alan. What is this?

After opening the introduction inside, Allen realized that it was this thing!

This is the second largest international sports event on the planet, second only to the Olympic Games.

It was originally called the British Empire Games, and its participating members must be athletes from the British Empire and its colonies.

It is held every four years, and the host countries are the countries within the United Kingdom that take turns to elect and host the event.

Later, with the development of the times, the term British Empire Games had a bit of a colonial flavor, so the games were later renamed the Commonwealth Games, but the content remained the same.

This year, it’s Canada’s turn to host the Empire Games.

According to the content in the information, the current participating athletes have almost begun to prepare for selection. Along with the selection of athletes, of course, there must be a team official with British characteristics, that is, the team leader!

Allen put down the document and looked at Boss Cha with blinking eyes.

"finish watching?"

"Your Highness, I have finished reading."

"Well, it's like this. As for your qualifications, I think you still need to practice more. You have led the team to participate in the World Cup and the Olympic Games before. This Imperial Sports is an opportunity. As long as you go this time, you will be considered to have a lot of experience. He has led the team to participate in all major international competitions for the first time.”

"."

Isn't this just gold plating?

In the past, Boss Cha liked to arrange such gold-plated jobs for Allen to increase his resume, but the frequency has become less frequent in the past two years. Now he suddenly offered another one, which made Allen a little flattered.

"In addition, for the Welsh representative team, you also serve as the team leader. England and Wales form a joint team, and you are responsible for it together."

"!!!"

Is there such a good thing?

Allen picked up the information on the table and took a look at it. This year's Commonwealth Games only started in July, so it was still early.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that Boss Cha was hiding something from him?

Why does it feel weird?
