Rise of an Empire

But before Conrad could decide whether to apologize, he saw Thrawn walking over.

"Something happened." Thrawn is now in charge of all external affairs, such as Hedy Lamar's research laboratory, Joseph's underground black hospital, Kingpin's black forces, etc., because Conrad delegated great power to him, So basically if nothing happened, he would be busy outside with his feet in the air.

Of course, the Duke would never admit that he didn't want to see the opponent's half-mechanical face, so he deliberately asked a butler to come to the outfield.

In fact, it stands to reason that with Joseph's skills, it shouldn't be a big problem to restore Thrawn's half-mechanical face. However, Thrawn rejected this proposal before he could even express it.

In his words, he is already used to it and does not need to be replaced.

As for the real reason?

Gudrun told Conrad privately that Thrawn was a famous figure on the battlefield back then, but it was only because his head was wiped off half of his face by a stray bullet that everyone thought he was dead.

If it returns to its original appearance, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.

After all, many of the Allied generals who fought against him back then are still alive.

As for Gudrun herself, there is no problem. Even though her father is the famous Heinrich, there are only a handful of people who have seen her, and most of them have died.

"A real estate developer named Jin Kaiyue is here to see you. He is in the reception room now." Thrawn replied to Conrad.

"Real estate agent, Golden Hyatt." Conrad was a little confused. When did he make an appointment with the real estate agent?

Besides, the name Jim Carrey sounds so familiar.

"My friend, Fred King Hyatt, has met the Duke of Meiningen." As soon as he walked into the reception room, he saw a middle-aged man with blond hair walking directly in front of him, then kneeling on one knee and saluting.

What's happening here

Conrad looked at the middle-aged man kneeling in front of him, feeling a little confused.

Could it be that he has unknowingly cultivated the legendary bastard spirit that is necessary for time travellers? As long as the tiger's body shakes slightly, everyone will immediately bow their heads and worship.

"The Golden Kaiyue family is a branch of the Lübeck family. Mr. Fred's fourth great-great-grandfather was once an honorary knight of the 12th Duke of Meiningen." Fortunately, Thrawn quickly reminded him behind him, and then Kang Ladd retracted his reverie.

Just now, he really thought that he had cultivated the bastard spirit.

"Mr. Fred, please get up quickly. We are in the United States now, so there is no need for such a big gift." He stretched out his hand to help Fred King Hyatt, who was kneeling on the ground, up, and Conrad said with a smile.

Although judging from the hereditary genealogy, there is absolutely no problem for this man named Fred to salute him, but what age is it now?

Even those serious vassals of the Meiningen family have basically dispersed. Do you really think you are stupid if a descendant of this honorary knight who was enfeoffed more than a hundred years ago still does this?

Everyone in the world is pursuing profit, but they don't know what Mr. Fred wants to do.

"The villain has taken the liberty to disturb the Duke. The main reason is that he heard that the Duke intends to sell a batch of real estate. The villain is not talented. He still has some research in real estate, so he came to recommend himself." Fred stood at the conference table as if he was flattered. Opposite me, I refused to sit down.

In his words, it was a great honor to meet the Duke. How dare he sit down in front of Conrad.

Able to bend and stretch, he is indeed a ruthless character.

Seeing Fred chewing such a small figure, he was almost as bent as Ito, Conrad couldn't help but commented in his heart.

Thrawn has just handed over the other party's information. This man named Fred King Hyatt is a rising star in the Manhattan real estate industry. Although he is not as good as those old real estate giants, he can be regarded as rich in wealth and budget. I should have 10 to 20 million. In today's economic system, I can definitely be considered a rich man.

The other party can be regarded as an authentic master outside, but he is so groveling in front of him. This skill of practicing shamelessness is really amazing.

"Mr. Fred's information is really well-informed. I just occasionally leaked some information, and your Excellency actually rushed to the door. You are indeed a rising real estate star in Manhattan." Conrad knocked on the table and said with a smile.

He is indeed preparing to sell off most of the real estate in his hands these days. After all, he does not have much cash on hand now, which is extremely detrimental to future development.

Although it is said that using those properties to collect rent can earn millions a year, but the small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Conrad and is of little use.

Secondly, he doesn't have the time to be a landlord. I'm a heir to the empire and a time traveler, and I actually came to New York to be a landlord. If I reveal this identity, it will make people laugh.

But he just revealed the truth in front of Norman and a few others, and he didn't know who this guy named Fred belonged to.

"The villain also has some shares in Golden Beach. The night manager there is considered a relative of the villain." Fred saw Conrad's eyes with scrutiny and immediately told how he got the news. come out.

"Uh." Regarding Fred's statement, Conrad just said noncommittally, which made the other person's mood suddenly jump up and down. He didn't know what the Duke was thinking.

The Jin Kaiyue family was indeed German before, and Fred's ancestor did sell his life to the 12th Duke of Meiningen back then, but that was more than a hundred years ago. At that time, Germany was still called Prussia.

The main reason why he came to say hello with the connection of more than a hundred years was that he wanted to gain some leverage under Conrad.

Thrawn's information is correct. Fred King Hyatt is indeed a rising real estate star in Manhattan, and his net worth is indeed tens of millions of dollars. But that was two months ago.

Last month, because there were rumors that World War III was likely to start, Fred, like others, sold all his real estate and took his family to a small town in the desert area of ​​​​the central United States.

After all, if the money is gone, you can make it again, but if your life is gone, then it is really gone.

But when the world was at peace, Fred, who rushed back from the desert, discovered to his dismay that he had turned from a rich man with a net worth of tens of millions to a pauper with less than a million overnight.

Although one can be considered a rich man with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash in this day and age, for Fred, who has become a multi-millionaire, this kind of blow is undoubtedly fatal.
