After the video call connected, Warner spoke in a standard London accent to the other side of the phone about the situation here.
As a student from Eagle Country, Principal Wang’s English level was already recognized. He had once been interviewed by foreign dia, and his fluent English was praised by marketing accounts. Although Gu Bai’s English level wasn’t high, basic communication wasn’t a problem, so they both could understand Warner’s conversation on the other end of the call. (For privacy, the na of the country has been changed to an alias.)
From the previous conversation, it was clear that even in Eagle Country, Warner was one of the elites in high society. Yet at this mont, Warner respectfully greeted the person on the phone, filled with courteous language during their conversation.
Principal Wang and Gu Bai exchanged a glance, both noticing the confusion in each other’s eyes.
If they guessed correctly, the person on the other end of the call was quite distinguished in Eagle Country.
After all, Eagle Country, as a long-established capitalist nation, has nobility everywhere. Although erging capital has so strength, it doesn’t compare to those aristocratic families accumulated over two or three centuries.
It can be said that in Eagle Country, aristocratic capital controls the majority of power.
Warner spoke on the phone for a few minutes, then smiled and approached Gu Bai saying, "Mr. Gu, His Excellency Duke Xiu wishes to speak with you personally."
"Duke Xiu?"
Gu Bai took the phone from Warner’s hand in confusion.
Considering the ti difference between London and Hua Country, it should be around 8 AM in London now. On the phone appeared a fair-skinned young Caucasian man in his 20s, probably just woke up, still wearing pajamas. His blond short hair was very ssy. Seeing Gu Bai on this side of the phone, a gentle smile appeared on his face again.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, I am Hugh Richard Louis Grosvenor."
Upon hearing this title, combined with Warner’s previous reference to him, an exceptionally resonant na appeared in Gu Bai’s mind.
"One of the most powerful millennials, the only legal heir to the Grosvenor family, Seventh Duke of Westminster!"
Speaking of European families, many people first think of the Rothschild Clan. But in fact, this family does exist, yet it has always been misunderstood. Although it remains one of the world’s top financial families, it is nowhere near as mysterious as imagined.
A book titled "Currency War" brought this ancient European family into the spotlight, but it also granted many unrealistic titles to this family. Among all the misunderstandings, the most absurd is the claim that the Rothschild family possesses 50 trillion US Dollars, controls the Federal Reserve, controls the world, and is the most wealthy and mysterious family in the world.
In reality, since the gold standard exited the historical stage in 1933, the Rothschild family banking system lost its absolute advantage, and its business began to suffer a comprehensive impact, becoming difficult. The total assets of the Rothschild Group’s parent company are now approximately 9.65 billion Euro, which is detailed in the "Rothschild Family Legend".
Even if you count the Rothschild family’s other assets, total assets would not exceed 15 billion Euro.
As for this Seventh Duke of Westminster, the family’s known assets reach 50 billion Pound Sterling. The Grosvenor Clan owns 1500 properties in more than 60 countries internationally, especially in Eagle Country, where the Grosvenor family owns a total of 810,000 acres of land. To exaggerate a bit, you could say half of London is private land of the Grosvenor family, even the Queen of Britain is his tenant.
In comparison, the supposedly enormous and mysterious Rothschild Clan could only be considered second-rate in front of the Grosvenor Clan.
In Hua Country, Hugh Grosvenor has a playful nickna as the Eagle Country’s Principal Wang, but if truly compared, Principal Wang still falls far behind in level.
To put it simply, Hugh Grosvenor is among the top tier number of people on this planet.
Nevertheless, although Hugh Grosvenor’s status is very high, it does not warrant any special treatnt from Gu Bai. He then smiled and greeted warmly, "Hello, Duke Xiu, I’m Gu Bai."
Hugh Grosvenor had a consistently good reputation and, like Gu Bai, was always dedicated to charity work. Although their first eting was a bit hasty, it didn’t affect Hugh Grosvenor’s enthusiasm at all.
"Mr. Gu, I know you. Your Black Swan Charity Fund is not only famous in Hua Country but also in the worldwide charity industry. I’ve always wanted to et you, although I didn’t expect our first eting to be under such circumstances. This is indeed my oversight. If possible, I’d like to invite you to Eagle Country to discuss the developnt of the charity industry together. I believe we will have a lot to talk about."
Hugh Grosvenor seed very excited and spoke sincerely, with no sign of pretense. Coupled with noble etiquette cultivated from childhood, even across nearly half the globe, Gu Bai could feel his aura in the video.
"Naturally, I cannot refuse Duke Xiu’s invitation. If I ever plan to go to Eagle Country, I will definitely notify you in advance."
Upon receiving Gu Bai’s reply, Hugh Grosvenor nodded heavily on the other side of the phone.
"I see that Mr. Gu and I are about the sa age, so I will just call you by your na. You don’t need to call Duke Xiu anymore; you can just call Xiu."
