Why do British nobles call themselves "middle class"?
If Paul, the housekeeper, answers this question in his heart, it is not because of some kind of low-key bullshit, but because there is no way.
When the aristocracy faded out of politics, it represented the decline of the whole British traditional aristocracy. With the gradual loss of privileges and the fact that most people were not good at managing money, the luxury days of the British nobility became unsustainable.
Exquisite clothes, exquisite table culture, even slippers need to be customized, with family badge of exquisite life, a large number of servants, grand pomp, everywhere to show grace...
Which one is free?
After great changes have taken place in the political and economic status, most of the British nobles not only rely on their ancestral property, but also participate in public activities, such as the opening ceremony to get some rewards.
However, due to their high daily expenses, they often need to attend social activities inside and outside the circle, and send their children to authentic noble schools for education, so their economic situation will inevitably be stretched out and in distress.
As a result, many British nobles could only lay down their stature and open their manors and private territories to the general public and tourists. I had to farm and ranch myself.
Even the old prince set up an ecological food company in 1990, turning the Royal stunt into the biggest promotion advertisement, making use of people''s consumption psychology of pursuing fashion and vanity to make money.
Forced by reality, these hereditary aristocrats have to bow their heads and call themselves middle class!
Look, how can those nobles who still rely on real estate development to enter the rich list have been said to be middle class? Which one is not respected by people when they go there?
It has to be said that the British aristocracy is indeed declining, because most of them have no money!
Therefore, when Paul, the housekeeper, learned that Arthur''s investment had made 60 million US dollars, his uncontrollable excitement and joy can be understood. With a huge amount of wealth, it is the most fundamental foundation for him to return to the upper class of England. Only then can Arthur Boleyn become the respected thirtieth Earl of Boleyn!
How could he not be happy with the success of the young count, and at the same time relieved, all his worries and worries vanished at this moment.
To tell you the truth, since the death of the old count, Paul has been worried about the future of the Boleyn family, especially after seeing Arthur Boleyn seriously injured and unconscious in the hospital. He seemed to have seen the Bolin family sink in the hands of this young count who died.
Maybe God heard his prayer. When Arthur Boleyn woke up, it seemed that he really opened his mind. He was surprised to find that Arthur was willing to shoulder his responsibility as count of Boleyn and return to Boleyn manor to inherit his family business.
It is also gratifying for Paul to sort out the financial affairs of the manor, to think about various new ways to open up the income of the manor, to auction antiques, to write novels, and to turn the prodigal son back.
Originally thought that the Bolin family would slowly in the efforts, careful management, slowly restore the glory of the past, but the young count stubbornly insisted on mortgage loans, let him just put down the heart, again.
Because compared with sitting on a mountain empty, blind radical investment toss, easier to let go to destruction.
The day of apprehension is finally over today, billionaire! Thinking of this word, looking at Arthur with a bright smile in front of him, Paul, the housekeeper, drank all the champagne in his glass, cleared his throat, stood upright, and bowed slightly to salute him.
"Congratulations again on your success, my dear count
Still immersed in happiness, thinking about how to make good consumption after he became a billionaire, Arthur was a little surprised by the suddenly official housekeeper Paul. Holding a glass of wine, he looked at Paul with a smile and listened to him continue.
"Your wealth has soared, and I can see the future of the rise of the Bolin family. Therefore, we should prepare for your return to the upper class in advance. First of all, the castle needs to expand the number of waiters and servants to 46. Although it is not full, it is enough for you to hold any scale banquet.
The stables need to be renovated, and a horse dentist, a breeding physiotherapist, a professional jockey, and a jockey are needed to prepare for the Ascot race next year, and it''s time for the boleyns to get back on board.
At the same time, you need to change a Rolls Royce as your transport tool, a security personnel who can act as a driver.
The wine cellar of the manor also needs to be redecorated, as well as other rooms in the castle. It''s time to repair them. After all, the castle has 150 rooms, only 48 rooms can be used. If your majesty visits one day, it will look very shabby...
And the most important thing, the top priority, is to set up a security system for the castle and the manor, and hire two security personnel.
For foxhounds and foxhounds, and Doberman''s for your hound
Arthur with his glass in his hand, his smile on his face has been stagnant, and his mouth is constantly pulling. His face is forced to listen to the butler Paul Balabala''s listing one by one. It seems that these things have been preserved in his mind for a long time without any sense of urgency and abruptness.Nima, the money hasn''t arrived yet. Here Paul began to throw money out to him.
"Cough..." Arthur, with a black line on his forehead and a slight cough, interrupted Paul, the housekeeper who was talking about how to prepare for Christmas this year. He said with a smile on his face, "Paul, it''s a little early to say that. After all, the funds are not in place. It''s horse racing and fox hunting. I don''t think it''s necessary. "
"I''m sorry, sir, it''s very necessary. Once you become a billionaire, everything will change, and you will receive countless banquets. As aristocrats who have been inherited for hundreds of years, we can''t be disrespectful. We hold banquets regularly and make a guest list. Before there is no hostess in Bolin Manor, these are all you have to do.
Just having the title of nobility is one kind of life. If you add wealth, it will be another life. Your status and influence will be greatly different. Therefore, all the preparations I mentioned are inevitable in the end.
At the same time, once you become a billionaire, you will inevitably come into the sight of the royal family. You are the count. Your majesty may not summon you or stay at Bolin manor to show your favor. Instead of being in a hurry at that time, it is better to start preparing now. "
Paul, the Butler, insisted without any compromise, because he knew better than the young count how snobbish and realistic the so-called aristocracy in England was.
When you have no influence and wealth, let alone count. Even the Duke is not taken seriously. But if you are a billionaire and have a strong social influence, even a Lord will become the guests and crowd center of all aristocratic banquets.
this is the reality. The rich aristocracy is the real aristocrat. The aristocratic aristocrat is only the woodlouse in the countryside.
