Chapter 157

At 8:30 p.m., the dinner officially began.

As the real protagonist of the evening, Countess George smiles and greets everyone to walk into the magnificent dining room.

On both sides of the dining room were portraits of count George's ancestors participating in the war, which became the most special decoration. Perhaps it was the earliest art brought by the Carnarvon family to hecklell.

Careful and exquisite tableware placement is an important table etiquette for noble private banquet. The splendid banquet, the glittering silver tableware and the transparent and glossy goblet all make the table decoration luxurious and low-key!

After people had settled down on the table according to the name plate, the hostess, Countess George, stood at the head of the long table with a bright smile on her face and said, "ladies and gentlemen, count George and I are very happy to welcome you all to visit hecklel Castle tonight.

Many of you are old friends, and of course there are new young friends. Count George and I believe that such a gathering will help to highlight our sincere and warm friendship.

Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to raise your glasses together. To our friendship, cheers

They all raised their glasses one after another on the table in front of them. After a sip, they put down their glasses one after another. Countess George, smiling, motioned to the housekeeper standing behind her and asked the waiter to serve.

Then a group of waiters and maids appeared, and began to pass dishes. The food delivery workers were busy.

Both Arthur and Eddie, from childhood, have been well educated in table manners, learning strict dining etiquette. At that time, although the etiquette of the aristocracy had become so restricted for many years.

Otherwise, a formal dinner which takes at least two hours is not so easy to stick to, especially when you have to sit up straight, never lean back on the back of the chair and elbow on the table.

However, the most unbearable thing for Arthur is to chat with two unfamiliar guests. You know, it is strictly forbidden to talk about money, work and other sensitive topics on the table in England. This is why the British can tell the British weather, because apart from the weather, real can't talk about it.

Even if you want to be polite to the host and praise the food, it is wrong, because in the eyes of the aristocrats, the food is cooked by the cook, and has no relationship with the hostess.

Praise dress, sorry, it is the default that the other party looks good, praise decoration, sorry, if you are not used to exquisite decoration, it will expose your status......

Originally, football is a good topic, especially Arthur just bought Southampton club. But it seems that people may worry about the embarrassment of Arthur who has been caught by the media recently. This topic has also been abandoned.

So, after two hours, not to mention how bad Arthur was, thanks to the exquisite food that made him grow up.

It was not until the end of the dinner, when the ladies left the dining room for black tea and coffee, that all the men in the dining room were relaxed. Count George began to smoke, but Arthur refused.

After that, the content of the chat was relaxed and casual. People talked about it all over the place. However, the topic was eventually brought to Southampton club. They all supported Arthur's purchase of saints. There were five senior fans of saints.

"Seriously, when I knew the saints were going to be sold, I was always worried that they would also be bought by foreigners. Over the years, the Premier League and the championship clubs have almost become hunting grounds for foreign capital. When I learned that the saints were purchased by you, I was really happy from my heart."

Hearing this Viscount's words, Arthur also had to laugh, unable to make any response. However, the Viscount's words, like opening the door of public complaints, have launched a discussion on this topic.

"Yes, I have never thought that these international capitals, who do not know football at all and may even have no interest in football, will help us develop our football level by entering the UK and investing in English football. On the contrary, I think they are desecrating our football culture and poisoning our football market.

In the past few years, with the influx of international capital, Jinyuan football has become popular. Who has more money to buy players everywhere, and how many clubs are still engaged in youth training? "

" ha ha, do youth training? Isn't the youth training club reduced to the football players' supermarket? Count Arthur, I read an interview with the new manager of saints, saying that saints will not sell young players. I think this is undoubtedly the biggest successful change

Arthur was not afraid to suddenly become the center of the topic. Although all the people present were at least ten years older than him, and some were even thirty or forty years older, he did not care, but said with a smile.

"There is no way to do it. As one of the most watched football leagues in the world and one of the most successful leagues in the world, it is certain to be sought after.The motivation of these foreign capital lies between the success of football competition and the success of economic efficiency, which cannot be separated from each other. From the Glazer family behind Manchester United to the desert landlords behind Manchester City, many people have seen that the value of a club can be enhanced by helping a club improve, or simply enjoying the crazy rising income brought about by television.

In the future, more and more foreign capital will choose to enter the Premier League, and the Premier League will become more and more international. And I can not do much, at least to ensure that the team in my hometown belongs to my own people

Arthur did not expect that their rejection of foreign capital would be so great and disgusted that Arthur had to pay attention to this psychology. Although there were not many people present, their influence on each of them could not be underestimated.

Therefore, he had an idea and could not help wrapping up a coat of local protection for himself. Although it would seem a little exclusive, it could get the support of the local people. After all, the people who often come to watch the game are local people.

And these people present are very good propaganda team, big Laba. Arthur believes that they will not be stingy to help such a small busy flag.

Sure enough, Arthur's speech was praised by all the people, and all kinds of praise made him a little bit floating. However, Arthur also understood that the skilful Kung Fu of these people present were very good at. It would be another matter to seek a business cooperation or something.

Therefore, this kind of so-called upper class banquet is to expand people's contacts, but it can't establish any friendship once or twice. In particular, the British people are very cautious about the development of friendship. Therefore, on the other hand, this kind of dinner can also be regarded as a useless Jiao. Because we are all very secretive about money, work and personal privacy, we don't want to understand the real things.

Just like now, after dinner, when he returns to the car at Boleyn manor, Arthur also asks Paul, the housekeeper, what do some nobles do at the dinner party, and some housekeeper Paul doesn't understand, so he has to search the Internet.

"It's a boring party. There won't be another one. I hate those hypocritical and backward middle-aged women!" On the bus, Eddie had been stripped of his high-heeled shoes and barefoot, and make complaints about the dress belt.

"Ha ha, what did they say or did to make you so angry." Arthur interrupted the conversation with Paul, the Housekeeper on the copilot. He looked back at his sister and asked.

"They asked about my career. When I said I was an actor, you can't imagine how embarrassed their expressions became. They acted as if they asked questions that shouldn't be asked, as if they had made some big mistakes. It seems that the profession of actors is embarrassing me. Damn it, who do they think they are and how they look down on actors A profession! " A cut above others make complaints about

's voice. Eddie heard Arthur's incredible voice and tucking up. He could not shake his head and laugh. He could understand the noble women's ideas, even though they were not born or occupation. But after becoming a lady of the nobility, they thought they had the capital of being superior to others. They really thought they were a member of the upper class.

Is it funny?

However, this is the person Xing. With the change of environment and status, one day I found that I had become the one who used to hate the most.

"The reason why they despise the profession of actors is that they think that actors have lost their dignity. In their eyes, actors are a group of shallow people who pursue fame and wealth. They think that you are condescending to fade the aura of nobility and show up in public.

However, if one day, you can prove yourself with your strength, interpret art with your own acting skills, become an artist, and really occupy a place in the vanity fair, then they will take off their hats, smile and praise you Arthur looked at Eddie with a smile, relieved.
