Chapter 1696

Inside the hangar at this moment, Olivia, dressed in a Chanel dress and looking extremely glamorous, was holding the arm of a young white man, watching the Concorde get closer and closer.

This young white man was William Rothschild, the eldest son of a collateral branch of the Rothschild family.

William's family is rooted in Denmark, separated by the sea from the four Nordic countries.

For years, William's family has been hoping to join the second tier of the Rothschild family, so they have been biding their time and waiting for the right moment.

Within the Rothschild family, the overall structure is similar to the Ye family, but in terms of actual execution, it is much more cumbersome than the Ye family.

The Rothschild family is an old-money capital family. They started out in finance and banking, so their allocation of internal resources is extremely strict.

The lifeblood of the Rothschild family is held in the hands of the core family in the United States, and the core family distinguishes the resource allocation of different families by scoring and rating other families.

A second-tier family can get two or three times more resources from the core family each year than a third-tier family, so every second or third-tier family is racking their brains to climb up, while the top-tier families must do everything possible to stabilize their positions and not be outdone by other families.

Therefore, this intense internal competition makes the internal barriers of families like the Rothschilds very solid, and achieving internal tier advancement is by no means an easy task.

William's family has been doing everything possible in recent years to improve their own rating weight.

Recently, they learned through their own channels about the news that the Nordic Queen was critically ill.

Realizing that the young Olivia would soon become the youngest Queen in Northern Europe and even all of Europe, they immediately negotiated with the Nordic royal family, hoping to reach a marriage alliance.

But Olivia had long been waiting for the highest bidder.

Many wealthy people in Europe actually realized that she was about to become Queen, so many people hoped to marry Olivia.

All of Europe has a strong ideology of power and feudal remnants; almost everyone believes that royalty and nobility are superior. Those wealthy people without noble titles, if they could marry the Queen, would immediately be crowned Prince and simultaneously titled Duke, which is equivalent to instantly completing a class leap.

The reason William was able to stand out among many competitors was that his family decided to invest 2 billion euros, plus 1 billion euros in cash as a dowry, to suppress other competitors.

William's family hopes to improve their influence throughout Europe through the royal family's endorsement, thereby gaining more weight in the next internal rating of the Rothschilds and stepping into the second tier.

At this moment, Olivia looked at the Concorde, which looked like a white swan, and said with a bored expression: "The Ye family is really not simple; they can even get their hands on this kind of supersonic passenger plane."

William nodded, his expression carrying a bit of envy as he said: "As the world's fastest passenger plane, once the Concorde was retired, it was snatched up by major top families. There are fewer than ten of these planes that can still be used after retirement. The Rothschild family has a total of three, all in the hands of the core family. We had no chance to experience them at all. I didn't expect the Ye family to actually have one..."

Olivia said with a dark face: "I haven't ridden in this kind of supersonic passenger plane yet."

William smacked his lips and said sullenly: "I haven't either. I heard the Ye family suffered heavy losses this time. I wonder if they are willing to sell this plane at a low price. If they are, I'll buy it!"

At this time, the plane had slowly entered the hangar. Then, the cabin door opened, and Helena, accompanied by Ye Chen, walked down the spiral staircase.

At the bottom of the stairs, Olivia looked at Helena with a sneer. Seeing that only she and Ye Chen walked off the plane, Olivia frowned and asked: "Helena, where are your two attendants? Why didn't they come back with you?"

Helena's two attendants were Olivia's people.

But Olivia had always thought that Helena was unaware. Seeing this time that she didn't bring the attendants back, and the attendants didn't report any changes to her in advance, she realized that Helena might have already discovered the true identities of those two people.

Helena was playing dumb at this moment and said casually: "I left them in China to prepare the engagement banquet and wedding details with the Ye family's planners."

Helena's words sounded fine to outsiders, but Olivia knew very well that Helena was definitely talking nonsense!

If it were really as she said, her two subordinates would definitely have reported the situation to her immediately.

But since she hadn't received any news, it proved that these two must have already been controlled by Helena.

But what depressed Olivia was that she watched Helena talk nonsense in front of her, but she had no way to vent.

She could only suppress her anger and follow her words: "So that's how it is... Oh my, sister, I really didn't expect that we two sisters would both be getting married soon. Time really flies."

Helena nodded and sighed with a smile as well: "Yeah, it seems like just yesterday we were riding horses together on the palace lawn, and in the blink of an eye, we are about to be married."

Olivia chuckled, looked at Ye Chen beside her, frowned, and asked: "By the way, this person beside you doesn't seem to be your fiancé, Mr. Ye Feng, right?"

Helena hurriedly introduced: "Oh, right, I almost forgot to introduce you. This is Ye Feng's younger cousin, Ye Chen! Ye Feng has a lot of things to do recently and couldn't get away, so he is accompanying me back this time."

Olivia didn't know much about the Ye family's structure. Hearing that Ye Chen was Ye Feng's younger cousin, she instinctively thought he was just the son of someone else in the Ye family and didn't take it to heart.

William on the side didn't think much of it either.

Because the one who fought with Ye Brother Changying in the Chinese market back then was the core Rothschild family in the United States.

Moreover, the Rothschild family eventually won, so he, a third-tier family descendant living in Europe, didn't know about that grudge back then, nor did he know the specific situation of the Ye family.

Olivia herself had already made up her mind to sell Helena to the Russian oligarch Abramovich.

Therefore, she didn't plan to have any involvement with the Ye family in the future, so she naturally didn't have a good attitude toward Ye Chen.

She looked at Ye Chen and said with sarcasm: "Mr. Ye, I heard that your Ye family was just attacked by the Wanlong Palace? I also heard that besides snatching your Ye family's ancestral grave, the Wanlong Palace also demanded that the Ye family give up half of their assets? Then the losses of your Ye family this time must be very large, right?"

William on the side saw that Olivia was targeting Ye Chen and also deliberately raised his eyebrows and said: "Olivia, why do you have to bring up other people's pain as soon as you meet? The Ye family suffered such heavy losses this time, losing both face and money. Mr. Ye must be very painful inside."

Ye Chen smiled and said casually: "I'm not painful at all. We have an old saying in China: 'A lean camel is bigger than a horse.' Even if the Ye family loses half of its assets, don't we still have over a trillion RMB? Compared to most garbage families in Europe, we are still much stronger."

William heard the sarcasm in Ye Chen's words and immediately asked angrily: "You surnamed Ye! Who are you calling a garbage family?"

Ye Chen smiled coldly with an arrogant face: "In my eyes, any family in Europe whose assets don't compare to my Ye family, one by one, are all garbage!"
