v2 Chapter 186： Which identity do you choose? (1/2)

Earl of Stark and Earl of Satsuma are about the same age, and this year has passed fifty, but compared with the always energetic look of Count Satsuma, Count Stark is only two or three years old, but the whole person must appear A lot of old, his face is more serious and even harsh.

After getting down from the carriage, Earl Stark, in addition to revealing a gracious smile to the Earl of Satsuma, almost always had a slap in the face when he met other people, and his expression did not see any looseness.

And in the face of the aristocratic representatives of Bangta City, and in the face of business representatives, his attitude is also very different.

Although the expression is equally strict, in the face of the aristocratic representatives, at least it can be seen that he is still performing normally.

However, when he met the business representatives, his serious expression was a little more unremarkable, but it was easy to detect the disdain and look down.

The only exception is when I meet with Xu.

After seeing Xu Yi under the guidance of the Count of Satsuma, the face of Earl Stark has finally had a loose face, and the expression on his face has become a little weird.

After carefully watching Xu for a while, Earl Stark suddenly shook his head and snorted softly: ”Well, the King’s Majesty has sealed you up as a nobleman, but he still has to continue his self-destruction as a businessman, really disappointing the king. His Majesty’s appreciation for you also lost the faces of our nobles!”

The surrounding business representatives suddenly became extremely ugly.

Although the status of merchants in the Kingdom of Lampari is indeed far less than that of the nobility, or even the farmers who are ordinary farming, even many aristocrats feel disdainful to the merchants. But no aristocrat will be idle and nothing to say in the face of the merchants.

The status of businessmen is very low. But successful business people always have a lot of money.

Money is as good as it is on Earth or on the mainland of Sainz. With enough money, even if the business people are not in a high position, life is much better than most civilians, even more than a lot of poor aristocrats.

Moreover, although many big aristocrats are limited to their own inconvenience, they will find some agents to do business, or simply cooperate with businessmen.

After all, if you are in a higher position, you can't eat it.

I want to live a quality luxury life, if I don't rely on business to make some money. Ordinary aristocrats are not much better than ordinary civilians.

So the relationship between the nobility and the merchants in the Kingdom of Lampari has always been very strange.

The nobles looked down on the merchants but wanted to live the same luxury life as the merchants.

The merchants envied the status of the nobles, but they looked down from the bottom of their hearts to those nobles who were always full of superiority but could not do anything.

For both parties, they have what they need, and cooperation is a good choice for them.

At the end of the day, the aristocrats and the merchants worked closely together, and they also looked down on each other in their hearts.

This relationship is undoubtedly extremely awkward, even morbid, but this is the real situation in the Kingdom of Lampari and even in most countries on the mainland of Sainz.

Take the big businessmen in the Kingdom of Lampari as an example.

I don’t want to say that the Chamber of Commerce’s Chamber of Commerce is outside the Chamber of Commerce, where the Joseph family is a big aristocrat. Even the Armani Chamber of Commerce, Amrit Chamber of Commerce, and the Salanque Chamber of Commerce, which seem to have nothing to do with the nobility, are actually behind There are some shadows of some nobles.

The presidents of these chambers of commerce had been dealing with the nobles very frequently. But this is the first time that a nobleman will actually be in front of them and express his disdain for the merchants.

If it is a small aristocrat, the old-fashioned big businessmen like President Lanko, President Cruise and President Vincent will not care much. You can even blame it back without any politeness.

But the old man who said this now is an Earl, and is still from the Earl of the Stark family, and even an Earl who is about to take over as the city owner of Bangta.

No matter how dissatisfied they are in their hearts, they can only bow their heads slightly. Try not to look at Count Stark, and dare not express even the true thoughts of their own hearts.

Only Xu also raised his head slightly, staring at Count Stark, and smiled: ”The Earl of Stark, I don't think that being a businessman is a self-destructive identity, and I don't even think I have lost the faces of the nobles. For me, aristocratic status is nothing but a reward for His Majesty the King, and the identity I really care about is the identity of this businessman.”

Earl Stark raised his eyebrows: ”What? Are you self-destructive?”

Xu also slightly lowered his face, and he said: ”The Earl, I don't understand what you mean. If you mean that I am willing to be a merchant, then I don't agree with you.”

Everyone around was amazed.

Everyone did not think that Xu would actually face the Earl of Stark directly in front of so many people.

Earl of Stark arrived in Bangta City early today and is about to take over the position of the city. In accordance with established practice, certain things will definitely be done to establish his authority.
