Chapter 190 Afternoon Tea for Building Bridges and Paving Roads

"Houkui only grows in the mountains of Huangshan Mountain in China, and in the past it could only be produced in remote places on cliffs. So tea pickers in the past would tame some white-haired monkeys to pick for them, so they called it Houkui."

Zhuo Yang said with a smile: "Of course, these are just legends and anecdotes. But Taiping Monkey King has a refreshing fragrance like an orchid, but it is indeed a rare tea cup. Mr. David, Mr. Giles, please taste."

Preet David and Beaufort Giles said politely: "Thank you Sir Zhuo, I am full of expectations for the authentic Chinese Monkey King."

After expressing their gratitude, the two held up the tea cups with a more elegant posture and carefully tasted the famous Taiping Houkui.

These two are not ordinary people. Giles is an OBE, the title of Beckham, and David is a justice of the peace with the status of a senior juror in the county court.

However, Baron Jan John Zhuo, a Habsburg, had a higher status than them, so he did not need to use the honorific title when addressing him, but they had to call Zhuo Yang 'Sir' to be in compliance with the rules.

On August 1st last month, two days before his wedding to Kou Kou in Europe, Kou Kou's father, Archduke Frank Joseph of Austria, held a knighthood ceremony at the Merrill Palace, and gave Zhuo Yang the title he had received a month ago. Lord's title was promoted to Baronet. According to the agreement, after he and Kou Kou have their eldest son, he will be promoted to an earl.

As a commoner, he has basically reached the end of his life as a count. Of course, this is not what Zhuo Yang is pursuing.

The team has already rushed north to Glasgow to find Celtic for the second round of the Champions League group stage. Zhuo Yang stayed in Manchester because he injured his left Achilles tendon in the game against Swansea five days ago. With nothing to do, I made an appointment with Giles and David this afternoon and invited them and their wives to the penthouse suite of the Radisson Hotel to enjoy afternoon tea together.

The Taiping Monkey King entertains the Justices of the Peace, which complements each other.

Preet David and Beaufort Giles were both natives of Cheshire, close to Manchester, and both came from the small town of Alderley Point in Cheshire's Golden Triangle, and were celebrities in the town.

Giles is the speaker of the town council. David does not hold office in the town, but he is a member of the Cheshire County Council and an assessor of the county court. These two men are very influential in the town of Alderley and can also be called local snakes.

Zhuo Yang invited them here, of course, for the villa that Kou Kou never forgot.

Koko took a fancy to the location of Solskjaer's old house and wanted to rebuild a mansion on the spot. However, the local town had formed a bill called environmental protection, which actually prevented demolition. The plan was thwarted, and Mrs. Zhuo went to Somewhat unhappy.

After that, she went to see several villas, including other places in Cheshire, as well as the west bank of the River Irwell and the foothills of the Pennines in the east, but none of them were more to her liking than the pristine cliff plains of Alderley Point.

In Kou Kou's plan, there are a small waterside courtyard at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, a waterside residence by the Hannover Canal, a seaside villa in Barcelona, ​​a Sunshine Crystal Palace in Madrid, a secluded residence on the lakeside of Milan, plus a mansion in the wilderness adjacent to the bustling forest, all kinds of There is no duplication of houses with different styles and tastes. You can live wherever you want with Zhuo Yang in this life.

But now she encountered obstacles in Alderley Point, the "City of Champagne", so Koko was really angry.

His wife was unhappy, which was a top priority for Zhuo Yang. He poured a glass of hot milk for her and handed it into his hand.

"Honey, I'll take care of it."

First, I bought the house for 2 grams, and then I inquired in detail about the reasons for the resistance.

People with rich ancestors like to be nostalgic and talk about tradition. They are sensitive but always put on airs and look down on the nouveau riche. They will never admit their jealousy, but they are very eager to be respected by the new rich and want to save face.

This was the case with poor Chinese people in the past, and it is also the case with British people now.

Cheshire's Golden Triangle is a famous luxury villa area in England. The aborigines who live here are all old British gentleman families whose ancestors were rich in the past. They are full of envy, jealousy and hatred towards the nouveau riche who have been pouring in with money in their hands over the years.

Do gentlemen really care about environmental protection and nature? not necessarily. Besides, the remodeling of the house in situ will not have any adverse impact on the natural scenery. They just want to be respected by the new rich.

When Cristiano Ronaldo renovated his house, they were barely able to accept it, but Rooney's arrogant and domineering behavior really annoyed the old gentlemen. The introduction of a "Residential Environmental Protection Act" did give them more confidence to 'make things difficult' for their players, but it also dug a hole for themselves.

Most of the houses in Cheshire's Golden Triangle are very old and more than half should be renovated or rebuilt, including the homes of many Aboriginal gentlemen. But after the bill was promulgated, gentlemen are all shameless people, and they can't just spit back the spit. On the contrary, the players are safe, but other powerful upstarts, such as the heads of big consortiums and big capital, People, if they want to rebuild, they can't stop them.

There are many ways to do it, but the players are just concerned about media public opinion and don't want to cause trouble for themselves.

Zhuo Yang also has many ways to ignore them. Lu Xiaopang and a fake gangster can handle the matter. For Zhuo Yang, no matter whether he is literary or military, black or white, it doesn't matter, even if he only brings out Kou Kou. The title of 'Duchess of Vienna' can also be used smoothly all the way, it's just a matter of picking off tricks.

But in this case, it is inevitable to make enemies with these local celebrities. After all, it is his own house, and the relationship between the neighbors still needs to be discussed, and Zhuoyang has more to consider.

Rooney was happy with his performance, but it basically blocked the hopes of Manchester City and Manchester United players to rebuild. Zhuo Yang was kind-hearted and wanted to reopen this path.

Preet Davide and Beaufort Giles are not only representatives of local celebrities in the small town of Alderley Point, but Davide runs a construction decoration and decoration company. Giles himself is in retirement, but his son has an office and home furnishings company. .

Anyway, anyone has to spend money to do anything, so why not kill two birds with one stone, so today's afternoon tea is here.

The invitation from the Duchess of Vienna and Baron John gave the two old gentlemen enough face. After having an ordinary but socially meaningful afternoon tea, the Duchess took the two ladies to visit the museum in the hotel, leaving the matter to the men. .

In fact, there is no need to explain the truth too clearly, both parties know it well. Zhuo Yang handed over the construction contract of the new house to David JP, and gave the list of furniture and decorative items needed for the new house to Officer Giles. They promised to be responsible for passing the application order in the town council and ensured that it would be completed on time.

The two gentlemen said it was a privilege for the town to warmly welcome the Duchess of Vienna and Baron John to Alderley Head. In the future, we will wholeheartedly cooperate with the players of Manchester City's two major clubs to jointly create a new future for the Cheshire Golden Triangle.

The host and guest had a harmonious discussion and achieved very constructive results.

No one could have imagined how many tough guys who only knew how to play football would come to thank Zhuoyang later. The significance of this afternoon tea is no less than the accumulation of good deeds of building bridges and paving roads.
