I Become A Noble in England

"It seems that there is quite a lot of criticism about this Miss Cather in the newspapers..."

Countess of Bute looked very good, with a blush on her face that still continued to fade, which fully demonstrated that the effect of the knowledge she had just learned was still very obvious.

Seeing her holding the newspaper and saying this, before Barron could say anything, Earl Bute smiled and said lightly,

"They say she wants to be a princess so badly. She hasn't even looked for a job since graduation. She just rented a house in London. Wherever Prince William goes, she follows. Her intentions are too obvious."

Listening to the two people's discussion, Barron did not say much. After all, he and the future Princess Cather had some intersection.

When he saw the Countess getting up, Count Bute couldn't help but ask,

"Are you going out again?"

"Yes, I made an appointment with Mrs. Campbell to go shopping..."

She stopped and turned around with a charming smile:

"By the way, it seems that Gucci's new Devonshire series is very successful. It has become a hot topic of discussion recently."

"That is what I was hoping for, ma'am."

As the Countess said, as early as May, Barron selected Alexander Michel, who was then a designer in the London design department of Gucci Group, to develop a new series of Gucci's haute couture - the Devonshire series.

This series is comparable to the top luxury ceiling effect of the "Himalaya Platinum" series of Hermès, a top luxury brand in the leather goods industry.

After living at Chatsworth House for a period of time, Alexander Michel lived up to everyone's expectations and finally drew inspiration to design a series of fashions with strong British classical aristocratic elements. These fashions were well received at the Paris Fashion Week that began in September.

That is why, after the Devonshire series of fashions were put on sale in Gucci Group's flagship stores around the world, they attracted a rush of celebrities and wealthy women to buy them.

But in the same way, you can't buy Devonshire series fashion just because you want to. Similar to the "allocation" form of high-end luxury brands such as Hermès, if you want to buy Devonshire series fashion, customers must be senior VIP members of Gucci, and have spent enough money at Gucci that year and accumulated enough points to be eligible for purchase...

After all, the Devonshire series was not launched for the purpose of increasing sales, but to establish the Gucci brand's position in the high-end luxury field.

This high threshold for purchasing qualifications has made it a source of bragging rights for the ladies and socialites who can afford the Devonshire series of fashions.

On social networks such as Woaw.com, you can often see celebrities taking selfies wearing the Devonshire series, and the comments below always receive a lot of envious replies.

As a high-end luxury brand, Gucci has also launched a publicity campaign in China. They directly obtained local approval and released this season's new models including the Devonshire series on the Bund in Shanghai. The theme is "Inheritance and Modernity". On one side is the European style of the Republic of China, and on the other side of the Bund, you can see modern high-rise buildings across the river. It is indeed very consistent with the theme to hold such a rare fashion show held directly in China by a high-end luxury brand.

This of course sparked a topic in the Chinese fashion circle for a while, greatly increasing the popularity of the Gucci brand in China.

On the Bund, not far from the Devonshire (The Bund) Hotel, the final show ended with the Devonshire series of clothing, making "Devonshire" a synonym for nobility and luxury in the impression of many people.

…

After the Countess left, Barron talked with Earl Bute about the Argent Real Estate Group.

Argent Real Estate Group successfully completed its IPO, which made Earl Bute very proud. After all, not only did it raise more than 900 million pounds, but the market value of Argent Real Estate Group at that time exceeded 7.2 billion pounds, which also increased the wealth of the Bute family to a certain extent.

Next, according to the plan, Argent Real Estate Group will not only be satisfied with the projects in the urban renewal plan in King's Cross, London, they are preparing to go to Australia and enter the Melbourne real estate market.

"We have studied the Australian real estate market. Local real estate developers are not very strong there. In cities like Melbourne, with the influx of more and more high-net-worth immigrants, the demand for housing is also rising rapidly. We have already acquired a piece of land not far from the city for commercial development."

It seemed that Earl Bute was very interested in discussing these things, and Barron also knew that developing real estate in Australia was a good choice now.

"In addition to Australia, real estate development in emerging markets in Asia also has great potential..."

"Yes, but all other factors need to be considered comprehensively. In general, we are optimistic about real estate in India, Southeast Asia and China. After gaining a foothold in Australia, we will try to enter these markets."

Count Bute said with a little regret:

"In fact, we have conducted some detailed investigations on the Chinese market. In the real estate industry, they still have many restrictions on foreign investment. Relatively speaking, capital from Hong Kong and Taiwan is more competitive there."

"There is no need to worry about this. China has already joined the WTO and will become more and more open in the future. We can also cooperate with local real estate companies for development. This will also be a good way to avoid some risks."

Earl Bute also said that he could consider Barron's proposal.

After leaving here, Barron went to Catherine.

At this time, she had returned to London with her daughter Emily, and when Barron arrived there, Catherine had just coaxed her daughter to sleep.

"Be quiet, she just fell asleep. After crying for a while, she finally got some quiet sleep..."

Katherine whispered softly in Barron's ear as she carefully walked into her daughter's bedroom.

Looking at his daughter's cute little face in her sleep, Barron couldn't help but smile.

Speaking of which, looking at little Emily like this, I can see traces of Barron's genes in her facial features. I believe that she will be a great beauty when she grows up.

Once they had exited their daughter's bedroom and left a maid to look after the child, Barron took Catherine into his arms.

It has to be said that she recovered really well after giving birth. And from Barron's point of view, Catherine, who already had a "full" bust, has become much bigger after giving birth...

Well, after his precise manual measurements, his own estimation was indeed correct.

"you..."

At this time, Catherine's face was already flushed, and gradually, most of the weight of her body was borne by Barron.

"Ma'am, I think it's time for you to start studying..."

Speaking in her ear, Barron carried the woman to the bedroom upstairs almost entirely by his own strength...
