Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Wang Ye's eyes widened immediately, with a surprised expression on his face, because this was so unexpected.

The other party is going to spend a lot of money!

That's a hereditary noble!

There are only a few of them in the entire British royal family.

Apart from the queen, her husband, a few sons and the princess, there are no other hereditary nobles.

But now, Charles actually said that he would grant himself the title of hereditary noble!

How could this not surprise Wang Ye?

Seeing Wang Ye's surprised expression, Charles showed a satisfied smile on his face.

This time, the British royal family really spent a lot of money!

He and the Queen discussed it for two days, and after repeated discussions, they finally decided to grant the royal family such a distinguished title as a hereditary noble.

More importantly, it is the highest title of Duke!

"The Queen has said that she plans to create a new title for you and your descendants, called the Duke of Cambridge!" Charles said with a smile.

Good guy, hereditary duke, the queen is really willing to give up...

Because such a hereditary title is usually only awarded to the queen's own son or grandson, and outsiders don't even think about it!

Now he is willing to give it to Wang Ye.

The Duke of Cambridge…

Wang Ye seems a bit familiar with this title.

After thinking about it, Wang Ye remembered that this title only appeared in 2011. It was a new title awarded to Prince William.

As a result, he changed "history" again!

The Queen actually wants to grant this title to herself...

Seeing that Wang Ye remained silent, Charles added:

"The Duke is not an ordinary nobleman. Even our British royal family, except for a few princes, does not have any living Duke!

And you, the Duke of Cambridge, are hereditary and have a separate fiefdom.

Of course, the fiefdom won't be very big.

Over in Cambridgeshire, there is an estate owned by the Crown.

The Queen took that manor and a forest, about ten hectares of land, as a fiefdom for the Duke of Cambridge! "

The land area is indeed not large, and in Cambridgeshire, the price of land is not high.

As for the manor, you don’t have to think about it. If you have high EQ, it means “long history”, but if you have low EQ, it means “dilapidated”...

But the problem is not value, but meaning!

Having a fixed fiefdom and being a hereditary duke is a great gift.

Are the British royal family so generous?

Just think about how many dukes there were in the entire UK in 2004.

The Queen holds two ducal titles herself, Duke of Lancaster and Duke of Normandy!

The Queen’s husband, Prince Philip, holds the title of Duke of Edinburgh!

Prince Charles holds two ducal titles, Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rosyth.

The "Duke of Cornwall" is very important in this!

Because only the first in line of succession can obtain this duke title, Charles actually took over seventy years after he was named Duke of Cornwall...

Prince Andrew, Charles' younger brother, Duke of York.

Oh, at this time, brothers William and Harry were not yet eligible to receive the title of Duke!

…………

Grinning, Wang Ye said with a smile: "This...how can you be so embarrassed! No reward for no merit, this gift from the Queen is too precious!"

Charles said quickly: "This title will not be awarded to you right away. The formal investiture ceremony will not be held until you and Grand Duke Rosiana are actually married. I am telling you now because I want you to have A mental preparation.”

Well, it seems that this gift is not so easy to get.

The British royal family is also a master who does not let go of the eagle when it sees the rabbit.

The bad check was written out first, but if you want to actually cash it, you have to wait another two years...

Wang Ye even speculated "with bad intentions" that the reason why the British royal family spent so much money was because they wanted to save a generous gift when he got married!

Because when he actually gets married, the congratulatory gifts sent by the British royal family as "relatives" must be weighty enough and worthy of the status of the British royal family.

But they may be reluctant to part with a truly valuable gift.

So I came up with this idea, which didn't cost much, but would definitely satisfy Wang Ye and the Romanov family.

Although the Romanov family was once a royal family, the current Romanov family no longer has the power to ennoble. Only the British royal family has such power.

But even if the British royal family really wants to save money, Wang Ye doesn't mind.

Compared with gifts worth millions and tens of millions of dollars, the title of this hereditary duke is obviously more suitable for him. He does not lack that money to begin with, but what he lacks is reputation and popularity!

…………

The trip to London ended, and both parties were happy.

The British royal family found a new investment channel and got the opportunity to invest in Kitty Eagle Group.

He also established a good relationship with Mikhail, a big shot in Russia, and even met a distant relative...

On Wang Ye’s side, he didn’t return empty-handed.

He has become closer to the British royal family, and even got a bad check from the Duke of Cambridge. When it is cashed in the future, he can almost walk away in London...

When others call him, they must use the prefix!

For example, “The Most Noble Duke of Cambridge, His Royal Highness Mikhail”…

Don't think it's ridiculous, even modern Britain treats real aristocrats like this!

And your noble title will be added to your identity document to distinguish you from ordinary people!

When Wang Ye told Rosiana about this, she just curled her lips and joked: "You are just a duke, and I am a grand duke. Although they have the same title, strictly speaking, the grand duke is still higher than the duke. Therefore, I am still above you!"

"Haha, it doesn't matter who is above whom, I don't care about that." Wang Ye said with a hearty smile.

…………

Before leaving London, Wang Yecai took the time to meet with David Dein, the general manager of Arsenal Club.

Now David Dein is obviously in good spirits and his face is glowing.

He even looks fatter than before!

Apparently he's been doing well lately.

"The team performed very well. This year's league championship and Champions League finals should be no problem. Do I still need to invest money next year?" Wang Ye asked with a smile.

David Dein responded with a grin: "The league championship is definitely no problem. The Champions League is hard to say. It is a cup competition and it is easy to be upset. But judging from the current state of the team, there should be no problem. No need for next year You have invested additional funds, and now the club's financial situation is very good! We can even have a lot of money left over next year, because our team structure is perfect, and we don't need to make any big moves in the transfer market. At most, we can just introduce more Just a few substitute players..."

He was happy from the bottom of his heart.

As Arsenal's most loyal fan, David Dein gave up the well-paid financial industry and invested all his wealth in Arsenal Club.

After experiencing Arsenal's glory and trough, and now under his personal leadership, seeing the club reaching its peak, how can he not be happy.

That is to say, knowing his story, that's why Wang Ye felt relieved to leave Arsenal in charge of him.

With David Dein and Wenger, one is responsible for club management and the other is responsible for team sports. This is definitely the best partner!

After hearing what David Dein said, Wang Ye nodded. The club's development was in line with his original plan.

Before buying the club, Wang Ye planned to invest more in the first year to fundamentally improve the club's financial situation and buy all the players that should be bought.

Then the club will no longer need his continued additional investment, but will be able to create its own blood and embark on a virtuous cycle.

It’s not that Wang Ye doesn’t have money or is unwilling to spend money.

No matter how nervous we are, we can squeeze out one to two hundred million dollars from anywhere, and it will still be no problem.

The main reason is that Wang Ye does not want Arsenal to become a team like Chelsea and Inter Milan. When the boss invests heavily, the club can still operate. Once the boss reduces investment or does not invest enough, the team cannot continue to operate.

"The club has performed well this year. If it can achieve a greater breakthrough in the Champions League, it will be a perfect season! In this way, you can discuss with coach Wenger. If the team can win the Champions League, then the game will be All the bonuses will be used to reward everyone! This can also give everyone some motivation." Wang Ye said with a smile.

David Dein was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "There is absolutely no problem with this! If we can finally win the Champions League, the game bonus should be as high as 30 million euros. If this money is used as bonus, everyone will definitely be full of joy. Passion!”

The Champions League is not just about honors.

The reason why so many teams are risking their lives in the Champions League and want to get a better ranking is mainly to get more bonuses!

Champions League bonuses are divided into two parts, match bonuses and market bonuses.

About half and half.

In 2004, the Champions League bonuses were not that outrageous. Even if you could win the championship, the total bonus would only be about 50 million euros.

But this amount of money is an astronomical sum for any club, including the wealthy!

After all, the transfer fee for the top stars at that time was only 50 to 60 million euros.

It means that if you win the Champions League, the team can buy one more top star like Zidane, Figo, Beckham, Henry, Ronaldinho...

Later, the Champions League bonuses became even more outrageous. As far as Wang Ye knew, before he "came back", the Champions League champion's earnings had already reached hundreds of millions of euros!

With Arsenal's current player configuration and competitive status, although we can't say that they are guaranteed to win the Champions League, they are still the most competitive team and have a very high probability of winning.

As the owner of the club, Wang Ye directly promised to distribute bonuses of tens of millions of euros to everyone. This is definitely very, very generous!

There is no precedent for this in other clubs.

If the players knew about it, they wouldn't be able to scream during the game...

For Wang Ye, the extra 30 million is of no use. It is better to use it to motivate the team and let the team try to win the Champions League championship.

After all, if you want to become the top club, you must look at the number of Champions League trophies you have.

If they don’t even have the Champions League, how can they have the nerve to call themselves rich...

…………

After everything in London was settled, Wang Ye was about to return home.

It was Charles who came forward again and sent him to the airport. The private plane was already ready and ready to take off at any time.

Brothers William and Harry also came. During the past few days in London, the two of them accompanied Wang Ye everywhere, and they got along very well.

In front of others, the two of them may be a little proud, but in front of Wang Ye, they really have no qualifications to be proud.

Except for one background, Wang Ye was beaten in every other aspect.

What's more, they also heard that when Wang Ye and Rosiana get married, the queen will grant him the title of hereditary duke, which makes the two of them even more envious.

Because even the two of them don't have the title of duke yet!

"Misha, I hope you and Rosiana can come to London often in the future. William and Harry are both your peers. You are so good, you can teach them more. Of course, in the future, it will be either me, William or Harry, or I will go to Moscow to visit you often."

Under the airplane ramp, Charles held Wang Ye's hand tightly and said sincerely.

Wang Ye smiled slightly and said calmly: "The Queen and you are so flattering. I am flattered. Moscow is not far from London. Rosiana and I will come here often in the future. I hope you won't find us annoying." good."

"Haha, how is that possible! Absolutely not. The more often you come, the better." Charles smiled heartily.

After being polite for a long time, Wang Ye was about to get on the plane. He waved goodbye to Charles and his son.

Harry also secretly made a phone call gesture.

He had already exchanged contact information with Wang Ye. From the looks of it, he would probably secretly go to Moscow to find Wang Ye in the future.

Of the two brothers, William is mature and prudent, much like his father Charles.

And Harry is lively by nature, or a bit rebellious, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen out with the British royal family over a second-married woman.

Wang Ye nodded with a smile and took Rosiana's hand up the gangway.

Watching Wang Ye enter the plane, the gangway was retracted and the engine roared.

Charles and his son were still standing beside the motorcade, watching the plane take off.

Harry said with envy: "Misha's plane is so beautiful. It's the latest Gulfstream G550. I heard it costs tens of millions of dollars. If the interior decoration is very luxurious, it can even exceed 100 million."

He doesn't even have a duke title now, so he can be said to be "very poor"!

The annual living expenses and pocket money are more than 200,000 pounds allocated by the royal family. Even if grandma and the like secretly give her some pocket money, it will not exceed one million pounds that year.

So life is relatively "simple".

Naturally, I am a little envious when I see people my age owning such luxurious private jets.

Hearing his youngest son's words, Charles scolded him with a straight face: "Misha earned this through his own hard work. If you had his business talent, you could also afford such a private jet, but it's a pity that you don't! "
