Chapter 61 The upcoming blind date

PS: Thank you for the rewards from the farm brothers by the sea, and thank you all for your support!

“Nord Metro Plan?”

In November, when Joseph threw a plan in front of James, the words on the plan surprised James. If he hadn't been old, he would have jumped up.

"I know the financial pressure, but I hope this project will be established as soon as possible."

The subway is not something else. Although it brings great benefits, the money it takes to build a subway is endless, and even if it is not available in the early stage, it cannot be started without hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Your Highness, the three-year plan I had just started a few days ago. Now I will start the subway plan. If you come up with another plan in a while, I really..."

James' complaint made Joseph a little helpless. He knew that he was in the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet. James would probably be able to reduce his lifespan by more than ten years, but he had no choice. Everything was urgent and needed to be done!

The subway is not ready for three to five years. This is because the land of Noord is relatively small. If it is bigger, it will be calculated over the past ten years.

"I don't need to say what benefits the subway will bring. You also understand that this matter must be carried out as soon as possible. If it can be completed within three years, Nord's transportation will..."

"No money!"

It was so soft that James began to cheat, spreading his hands to show what you did to me. Not to mention, Joseph really had no choice. After all, he couldn't force James... In fact, it was useless to force him.

"Bitting" Joseph said with a dark face: "I will pay 20 million US dollars, and the remaining cabinet will find a way to make up the numbers."

In fact, James knew that all this was pretended by Joseph. After all, if anyone is more concerned about Nord's construction, then only Joseph is the master of this country. The money in the treasury is not much different from that of himself. The only difference is that it is not convenient to pick it up now.

Joseph has indeed accumulated some wealth this year. It is natural to say that Audi's dividends have ended. Most of the remaining ones are the benefits brought by mining gold and oil. Americans are happy to pay for it every month, which also makes Joseph's hands much more relaxed.

Although James knew that he knew that his appearance was pretended by Joseph, he was still a little happy inside. After all, during this period, Joseph was just playing with the lions and having fun with Joanna and a few little maids, and had no intention of sorting out state affairs at all. This made James very unhappy. Now he was very happy to be upset by Joseph.

"The cabinet doesn't have much money, there is no problem with 50 million, and I can't do anything else!"

Even though he was happy, he still had to tell the truth to Joseph. In fact, the cabinet's finances were not so tight, but the remaining money was all the budgets of other places, and they could not move at all.

Fifty million US dollars? It’s already very satisfying to have these. From the beginning, Joseph didn’t think about getting the full amount. After all, this project was indeed a bit nervous, and it’s normal for the cabinet to take it out.

Perhaps at this time, someone would think that Joseph did not meet his Nord master's identity. In fact, it was not. From the beginning, Joseph did not participate much in government affairs. Although he had been forcing the project to be established, this group of people were doing the specific project. If he didn't understand this, he would naturally not take the initiative to point fingers.

This is like a listed company. Although Joseph was the largest shareholder, the CEO of James was the CEO. Joseph had the right to supervise and remove him, but he still needed to obtain his consent in some matters.

What is the most important thing between people? It is trust, and the same is true between countries, especially the royal family and the prime minister. Since you let others sit here, you should let go of your hands and let others do it instead of interfering in it. Joseph is actually a lazy person, otherwise he would not have had such a happy time.

The subway project is still 30 million US dollars short of this. At this time, this is not a small amount. Ordinary families cannot afford this money, let alone Nord private people. The government bonds cannot be issued because each household has no money, and all they have is goods and cannot move working capital.

Seeing that Joseph was walking outside without saying anything, James couldn't help but stand up and asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

"Go to a place that can get 30 million dollars."

Looking at Joseph who waved his hand and left without looking back, James, who was stunned and murmured: "Can you get 30 million US dollars? Where is that?"

...

Walking out of the cabinet building, hesitated to look at the guard who opened the door, Joseph, and said, "Prepare to fly to the UK and book another hotel. I'll watch the fog in Paris tonight."

This is a joke? But it's not funny at all!

The guard nodded depressedly and turned to do what Joseph ordered. These words showed that Joseph was not prepared to go as Grand Duke Nord but was private, which made them embarrassed as guards because security issues were hard to say.

Where to get 30 million US dollars? Of course, it is in the hands of the aristocrats in England. As for why they have to give him money, it is a bit ugly that Joseph is planning to exchange for 30 million US dollars as a princess.

Well, Joseph actually had another meaning. His princess could only be selected from countries such as England, Denmark, and Sweden, and an embarrassing thing appeared before him... He did not have the familiar nobles to help him set up the bridge.

Nord's only noble family was the Ragna family, and Ragna II also had some French friends, but those friends were just ordinary friends, and Joseph was not familiar with them at all, so this kind of thing was not suitable for him to come to him on his own initiative.

What are Joseph going to England now? He was nominally seeking financing, and by the way, he used some of the nobles in England to integrate into it, and then waited for the group of people to choose him.

Yes, Joseph has no parents, so he can't come over and say that I like you, let's get married!

This is not necessarily impossible. After all, it is normal for boys to pursue girls. However, Joseph's age is a problem. Pursuing a little girl... I guess parents will leave directly and older, and they will fall in love with him as a little baby? And 80% think he is watching jokes.

More than ten years later? That's not bad, but at that time, the good ones were probably picked out by the baby. The rest must be the bad status, and that's not suitable to be Nord's princess.

That's right, it's just that the status is bad rather than ugly, because it doesn't matter if you look ugly among nobles, but it's difficult to get married if you are embarrassed.

For example, if some small nobles have no suitable identities in the same identities, they will not agree to marry a commoner family. After all, they are nobles and have the obligation to ensure the purity of the noble bloodline and marry a great noble... Do they like you?

Although the Duchy of Nord was relatively small, they could not withstand their potential and their status was extraordinary! You should know that the Ragna family also had dukes, and even had the title of Count in the Middle Ages.

According to this identity, the future princess of the Principal of Nord should at least be the sons and daughters of a powerful country like Great Britain, and the inheritance of the top three must be at least the top three.

If it were Denmark, it wouldn't be wronged if it were a princess. Although the Danish royal family is more noble than the British royal family in terms of identity, the Danish country is not as powerful as the British, which is an indisputable fact.

Joseph's journey was planned to start from England, then go to Denmark and Switzerland, observe the noble ladies all over, and finally decide which one to marry. Of course, if the other person is interested, Joseph is not suitable to speak actively unless he has to.

Well... I forgot one thing, 30 million US dollars is also one of the tasks. The declining nobles who are just wearing the shell of a great noble are not what Joseph wants. They have money, titles, influence, and it is best to have some say. Alas~ It turns out that aristocrats are also very hard to go on blind dates.
