Chapter 306 I didn’t expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually…



Such an identity is already awesome enough.

But his family also owns a real estate group, and it’s an old-fashioned real estate group.

There are vast tracts of land in Scotland, Spain, other parts of Europe, America, Canada, Australia, and Asia.

The unit of measurement is huge amount, not large amount.

The difference between Donald, who is also in real estate, and this guy is like the difference between a child and a strong man.

This gentleman's total assets are not too much...

It is said that the real estate group alone is valued at more than 10 billion pounds, not to mention his other assets. He is now recognized as the richest man in Britain, and his net worth is probably more than ten times that of Allen now.

The comparison objects of this richest man include the royal family.

But from what Alan understood, if it really came down to competing for wealth, this person might not necessarily be unable to compete with the royal family. Not to mention other things, over the past few hundred years, what have the royal family robbed that a family like theirs could compare to?

The ancestors of this Duke Gerald did not reach the top all at once. With Alan's knowledge, he had read about the Grosvenor family in the books in his home collection before.

His grandfather was Lord Horseman, the 1st Duke of Swimminster.

This position, literally, is responsible for managing the mobilization of all horses and means of transportation of the royal family, but for the sake of ease of understanding, it can also be understood as Bimawen!

This is not a role that can be filled by just any idle person, just like not everyone can be the prince's guard.

The title was passed down to his generation, the sixth generation duke. His ancestors also rose to the top step by step through their meritorious service.

The sixth generation of their family did not just pass down six generations, but the title was passed down to six dukes.

There was also a change in the family. During World War II, someone in the family was injured. Later, his father, the fifth-generation Duke, inherited his brother's title and became the Duke in the 1960s.

It was finally passed down to him, and it was considered the sixth generation.

It is said that this person rarely attends congressional meetings. At least Alan has never seen him before. It seems that for some reason, his family is too rich and he worries about how to spend the money every day.

Moreover, the Grosvenor family is not a pure English aristocracy. Their family composition and bloodline are very complicated. The current Duke Gerald was born in Northern Ireland. His birthplace alone is enough to arouse the imagination of many people.

Now... this person actually took the initiative to find him, which made Alan a little puzzled.

"Let's go to the side and find a quiet place to talk."

Duke Gerald glared at the two old dukes who were standing nearby and watching the joke, then waved to the waiter to lead the way, preparing to go to the quieter private meeting area next to him to have a detailed talk with Alan.

After the two of them sat down, Duke Gerald rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly and said, "I have met Kano a few times before, but I never had a good chat. Alan... I heard that you went to a cheap... uh... commoner school when you were a child? How did you convince Kano?"

"Hmm? Yes... hm? How did I convince my father?"

Alan was a little confused by this question. Although not many people knew about this, it was not a secret.

When outsiders look at the British aristocracy, it seems as if all of them have to go to a certain public school, and they often go to those well-known aristocratic schools.

In fact, not every noble child goes to aristocratic school.

If we compare aristocratic schools to universities with specialized majors, then the majors in aristocratic schools can most likely be classified as communication studies.

In the past, this thing was used in schools to expand personal connections, so that children could get to know each other from a young age, and when they grew up they could cooperate and become allies.

However, most aristocratic families do not have only one child. When there are many children, sometimes due to economic or other factors, the second son or the youngest child does not go to aristocratic schools.

Of course, there are also those aristocrats who are in dire straits and take out loans to send their children to aristocratic schools.

Someone like Allen had a dull personality when he was young, and he was not the eldest son. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble to let him go to an aristocratic school, a place full of fame and fortune for kids?

Allen's father is his father, not his enemy. Before he came, the cheap father Kano was ready to let his younger son, who was more introverted, go to school casually, find a common school, and go to school under an assumed name, so that he could have less open and secret struggles and live happily.

For a family like theirs, ordinary schools, like elementary schools and high schools, as long as they are not highly professional universities, can no longer bring them any growth. They go to school just to play, and the knowledge in school is not as much as that in the library at home.

With Butler Hut's level of knowledge, it would be really easy for him to go to a university and become a professor or something.

So...Alan was attending a civilian school at that time.

Later, until the present Alan came, he also liked this feeling. A noble went to a civilian school and changed his name slightly. As long as he didn't say it, who would his classmates know?

It's just that I'm a little bit more handsome than the male classmates around me, have a little bit better temperament, and have a little bit more classmates who send me love letters and gifts.

Even now when Alan is in college, he does the same thing, blending in with ease.

Listening to Alan's story, Gerald's eyes became brighter and brighter, and then slowly dimmed at the end. Finally, when Alan finished speaking, he murmured, "What a pity. It turns out that Kano and I both hope that the child will be low-key and happy. Now I don't have the chance to talk to Kano."

Looking up, Gerald thought of what he had just said subconsciously and felt a little rude. Mentioning his deceased father in front of other people's children, this...

"I'm sorry, Alan. I'm speechless for a moment. I'm sorry... I..."

"It's okay, I've gotten over it."

Alan was speechless, but felt something was strange. The Duke of Swimminster seemed to be very concerned about children, but as far as he knew, he didn't seem to have any children. There were only two daughters in the family, and they were both grown up. Why was he concerned about this issue now? Did he have an illegitimate child?

Seeing Alan's gossipy eyes, Gerald, who was already 40 years old, explained shyly: "My wife gave birth to a son for me at the beginning of the year."

"oh!?"

Holy shit…

Really working hard.

Alan looked at Gerald with an even weirder look. He carefully looked the Duke of Swimminster up and down. His wife was not much younger than him. They had been married for more than ten years. His wife must be at least thirty years old. At such an old age, she was still struggling to have a son...

Moreover, his wife is not from a humble family, she is a real noble lady. Although her family is currently only a viscount, her ancestors are famous.

Just to mention a few names, the Russian poet Pushkin and King George II of England are both her ancestors, and their blood flows in her body.

really……

Every family has its own problems. Damn... Who said that people in foreign countries don't care about gender? The preference for boys over girls is everywhere!

"So you want to?"

"Hehe... When I was a child, I dreamed of going to a civilian school and not being restricted by so many things, but my father disagreed at the time. Now that I have a son, I want him to fulfill my childhood dream for me. It just so happens that I know you... Plus, you are now raising two little princes on my behalf, you see..."

"???"

Alan was confused as he watched the Duke of Swestminster become more and more shy as he spoke. What was he trying to do?

"Alan...are you interested in being my child's godfather? Just find him a school for ordinary people in Wales and help me keep an eye on him. In England...I have many acquaintances and I'm afraid others will recognize him."

"this……"

Fuck!

No wonder this guy was so polite to me from the moment we met. It turns out he treated my place as a kindergarten. Already having William and Harry isn’t enough, and he wants to give me another little brat in the future?

Alan sniffed and was about to refuse, but before he could say anything, he heard Gerald's next words.

"Uh... I don't know what you like. I don't have much. There are only tens of billions of pounds left in my family. But pounds... I guess with your character, Alan, you wouldn't even look down on them."

“…”

I fucking like it!

At this moment, hearing Gerald's words, Allen wanted to stand up and tell him loudly that he liked her, but...

Who made him always like to create a character?

Allen's previous character was somewhat like an angry young man, a passionate young man who was very concerned about various injustices in the society, especially those concerning middle-aged and elderly women. He was very aristocratic and loyal, and he also had an outstanding appearance.

These conditions make him perfect for being a child's godfather.

What is the Godfather?

In the past, a child’s godfather was someone who gave the child a Christian name when he or she was baptized as a child and then took charge of his or her religious education.

Now...

He becomes a person with noble character and great influence, which can be understood as a godfather or stepfather in disguise.

With Alan's current conditions, in Gerald's opinion, both internally and externally, he is more than qualified to be the godfather of his own child!

So… Gerald saw that Alan seemed a little dissatisfied, and thought that Alan didn't care about money, and it was embarrassing to listen to him talking about money.

But apart from money, he has nothing else to offer.

Seeing Alan's slightly twitching face, Gerald thought he had been inadvertently disrespectful again, and quickly made amends: "How about... Alan, I heard that you also have business in America, so how about I give you a piece of land there? If you want to go there for vacation in the future, I will send people to build a palace for you as your vacation home."

“…”

The feeling of rejection just filled his heart, but Alan could no longer say the words of rejection.

He didn't know how big this piece of land was.

But the land needed to build a palace must be quite large.

Besides, it was American land, so Allen no longer cared where it was exactly. With Gerald's identity, it was impossible for him to have something too bad!

"What's your son's name?"

"Ahahaha...you agreed?"

Gerald watched Alan ask the child's name and grinned happily.

Don't say things like, with his status it would be easy for him to find a godfather for his child, so why should he choose Allen? Looking at the whole of Britain, who could be more suitable than Earl Allen, who is known as the last card of the British aristocracy?

Should he go to see the Duke of Angus, who is a swindler and a failed investor?

Compared with a knight like Earl Allen who seems to be covered in golden light, what are the others?

Poor parents in the world...They have a child in their old age, and it is very difficult to give birth to him/her. Who doesn’t want to give the best to this child?

With the most famous and best-looking young earl in Britain as godfather, what else do you want?

This is the best godfather Gerald can find for his child at the moment!

And he can also take the opportunity to establish good relations with the royal family. There are two princes following Allen.

If Allen was not of the same generation as the two princes, he would definitely be William and Harry's godfather.

In this way, his children would recognize him as their godfather, which was killing two birds with one stone.

"My son's name is Hugh, Hugh Grosvenor. Hugh is my grandfather's name and I think he can bring glory back to the name."

“…”

A lot of buffs were added, even the grandfather's name was taken out. This child is definitely the apple of the Duke of Westminster's eye. Alan was speechless.

"Okay...but I have a lot of things to do..."

Alan wanted to complain a little. When it comes to business, no matter how much you offer, what if you can ask for more?

"Hmm? Earl Allen, don't worry. The child is still young. We have to wait for a few years. In a few years..."

Gerald continued speaking subconsciously, his voice becoming smaller and smaller as he spoke, and he had come to his senses.

"I wonder what Alan is usually busy with?"

"Haha... I will have to follow His Majesty to visit India next year. There are many things to do later. I plan to do business in Asia and build an industrial park..."

"Where in Asia?"

Alan blinked. This nouveau riche tone was really... damn!

"India... places near India are also fine, but I haven't checked the specific places yet."

"I also have land over there, in Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Allen, where do you need to build an industrial park? Just tell me, and I'll give you the land and the house!"

“…”

This was the most frustrating time for Allen since he took the throne.

In the past, Allen didn't care much about money, as long as he had enough to enjoy himself, but at this moment, this man named Gerald, the Duke of Swimminster, showed Allen with his actions that nouveau riche can be very domineering when they become extremely wealthy, just like America...

"When I get back, I'll send this year's Christmas present to my nephew Hugh Grosvenor."

Alan stood up. He couldn't stand this kind of place anymore. He wanted to make money now.

When Gerald saw Alan stand up, he quickly stood up with him and moved closer to Alan with a smile on his face.

Alan didn't say whether he agreed or not, but it was obvious that he agreed. Who would give Christmas presents to a stranger's child?

Only elders with close relationships would give gifts to younger generations at Christmas. Plus, what he said, "My nephew Hugh Grosvenor", doesn't this mean that he agrees? !
