Different World Development Manual Chapter 204: The Manor of the Bourbons
8 years across the calendar, February 5th, New Year's Eve.
The manor of the Bourbon family is now full of lights and festoons. Red lanterns and red knots are hung everywhere in the manor, and the gate of the manor is also pasted with Spring Festival couplets in Cumberland.
After all, the Bourbons are the upper class in Camber, and the contact with China can also be said to be the most among all major families in Camber.
After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Camber, the traditional festival of China, the Bourbon family who opened their eyes to the world also slowly took it over and used it in their own family.
Together with China's strong, advanced and modern, the Bourbons arranged for many younger generations to study in China, which allowed more of the Chinese lifestyle to slowly flow into this big family.
The Spring Festival of the Bourbons began 4 years ago. It was after Finch studied in China for a year and returned to Camber to bring the Spring Festival back to the family reunion festival. This slowly brought the Bourbons back. Accepted this holiday.
In the words of the current family of the Bourbons, it is in line with the national (hua) and international (xia).
Although Huaxia does not restrict Camber from purchasing modern industrial products from Huaxia, the national income of the Camberers is still quite low compared to Huaxia.
For Camber, the industrial products produced by many factories are based on the blueprints of industrial products that are quite cheap or dozens or hundreds of years ago, improved, and sold to Camber.
But those big families and big chaebols in Camber are different.
As the existence at the top of the pyramid, they occupy 70% of Camber's wealth. For them, China's modern industrial products are naturally no problem.
The Bourbon family bought several mid-to-high-end models of China, and the big family also needs to decorate the facade.
Pushing the car door, but Vinci got out of the car, he didn't bring any luggage, not even a change of clothes.
After the Lunar New Year's Day, the Space-Time Administration Bureau is finished, but Finch has to rush back to Mobei and Shakespeare to play their Camber Modernization and Progress Committee.
Stepped on the asphalt road below his feet, but Finch was slightly surprised. When did he build it? A year ago, there was still a stone-paved manor road.
Stepping on the metal herringbone ladder at the door, the servant who hung a lantern on a few street lights next to the gate took a look, but Finch got out of the car and hurriedly said hello: "It's the young master!"
"Master is back!"
"Quickly rule the master! The eldest master is back!"
But Finch looked at the gate of the manor, and the whole manor changed almost every year.
The asphalt road under your feet should have been built this year.
The car behind me was bought two years ago, and the driver went to China to learn how to drive.
The street lamp at the gate of the manor was erected 3 years ago and used electricity from the Camber Power Plant invested by Chinese merchants in Camber
Of course, in the manor of the Bourbons, there are also solar generators that Vinci recommended to install 4 years ago.
The entire estate is rapidly modernizing at a rate of change every year.
Even in the upper part of the manor, energized wire fences have been installed in recent years to prevent troublemakers and thieves.
Of course there are surveillance cameras.
I have to say that the things of Huaxia people are easy to use. A big family like the Bourbons has the most profound experience.
But Finch looked at the camera that turned to him. He knew that it was his father who controlled the camera to see himself at home after receiving the notification.
At this time, a sightseeing electric car drove over and steadily stopped beside Dan Finch.
After getting off the car, he said respectfully: "But Master Vinci, you are back.
Leave me the luggage, please get in the car. "
The Bourbon family not only arranges for foreign students to study in China, but also has a little comprador business. Therefore, people in their family often go to China and have a lot of knowledge about China.
Otherwise, the Bourbons will not turn a blind eye to things that are convenient and easy to use.
The electric car system in the manor was installed after the solar energy was installed. The owner asked the Chinese merchants who installed solar energy what products could be used with it.
So I was recommended by Chinese merchants, and sightseeing electric cars were also recommended at that time.
But Finch said, "I have no luggage."
The servant's expression stiffened slightly, and then he smiled again: "Master, please get in the car."
The Bourbon family’s manor is quite large. The entire Western European style aristocratic manor is sitting on an electric car. There are gardeners trimming flowers, shrubs and trees along the way, and there are red servants everywhere. The maids are all cleaning.
In front of the mansion, two huge statues of Pi Xiu bought from China stand at the door.
Wealthy people, not only Chinese people have a trace of superstition, but also the Camber people who have received a certain amount of Chinese thought. This is probably a common problem of businessmen.
Pixiu has the meaning of swallowing wealth, keeping wealth, and recruiting wealth in China. After all, there are mouths but no anus, only eating but not gimmicks, there is no going out.
The two huge eagles are also quite powerful. Although most people in Campbell don’t know the meaning of the eagles, they don’t prevent them from seeing the domineering eagles for the first time.
The two servants gently opened the door for Dan Fincher and welcomed Dan Fincher in.
The first thing to enter the house, but Finch asked where the members of the family were.
After getting the exact location of each family member, Vinci went straight to the study and greeted the current family of the Bourbons, his father.
After entering the study, I saw Louis, the owner of the Bourbon family, sitting at the desk, holding a book written in Chinese characters in his hands, and reading it with relish.
But Finch took a closer look and found that the book in his father's hands was nothing else, but the Camber version of the "Chinese Dictionary" he bought from Qiqi City two years ago.
Is his father still making up for the Chinese culture?
Yu Guang glanced at an LCD TV screen next to the study room. Although LCD TVs are already in the phase of elimination in China, for Camber, it has directly crossed the era of black and white TV and entered the era of LCD TV. Things are already super advanced and super science fiction.
Only black-and-white TV, that kind of big-head TV, is currently the most commonly used TV that is affordable by some civilians at the bottom of Camber.
The TV screen in the study is facing the gate of the manor.
From the perspective of TV, it should be the camera at the gate of the manor.
Sure enough, it was my father who was watching him just now.
But Finch said softly at this time: "Father."
Louis slowly closed the book, looked at his son, whom he hadn’t seen for a year, and slowly said: "Oh, you are back."
"Yes, father, I'm back."
Louis nodded slightly: "How long did you stay, I heard you didn't bring your luggage back?"
But Finch said so: "After the New Year's Day, and then go back to school after finishing the work, after all, there is still a lot to do there."
"Oh?"
Most of the children studying abroad in the middle and upper classes of Camber choose to stay in China during their holidays. After all, Huaxia’s knowledge like the vast sea and the rich and colorful modern life strongly attracts these wealthy Camber students.
Anyway, most of them have to return to China after graduation. Why not enjoy the modern life in China while studying abroad?
Louis also understood these children's thoughts. Almost all of the younger generation of the Bourbons looked like this.
Louis doesn't object either. After all, he himself has a high affinity for China after using Huaxia products.
In addition, the Bourbon family's industry is too complicated, or too messy.
Whether it is a comprador who buys and sells, or a workshop that produces goods, or mines for mining, or agriculture for planting, and the recently emerging land transportation industry, the Bourbons are all engaged in it.
Compradors, mining, farming, and transportation are all directly related to China.
Therefore, the Bourbons have the most contact with China among the major families in Camber.
Louis has also become a "Chinese school", of course, he is indeed an elite.
After all, more than eight years ago, the Fifth Fleet rode south to face the capital of Camber, and the scene where Camber, the central sea hegemon, was rubbed against the sea level is still vivid.
The Bourbon family is a pragmatic family, and Louis is also a pragmatic family owner.
In such a powerful country, how did you Campbell go against each other?
Louis doesn't have much national feelings~IndoMTL.com~ He only has more than how to develop the family.
This kind of thinking of one heart only for the family, almost integrated into the members of the entire Bourbon family, including Dan Fincher.
Although Louis is the essence, he can only see the big family in the Camber political arena. He dare not show his attitude towards China. At best, it will only make people feel that the Bourbons are ambiguous about China.
Otherwise, the Bourbons will face the anger of all the Campbells and chaebols.
The father and son briefly talked about the topic of China, about Dan Finch's life in China, but Finch told Louis that the day after tomorrow, that is, the second day of the new year, the teachers of Mobei University of Finance would come home. Make a home visit.
Louis squinted his eyes, but his son, but Vinci, revealed in secret that these teachers have more or less official backgrounds behind them.
Louis wondered what the Huaxia people would exchange with him during the "home visit", but Vinci didn't reveal more, just mentioning that it might be some aspects of cooperation.
After all, but Fincher didn't know what exactly the people from the Time and Space Administration would discuss with the Bourbons.
