Chapter 918 - 313, Returning Home with the Beauty in Arms
Donnie waved his hand to interrupt Earl Bock and said, "If Earl Bock agrees, I can give you 100,000 British Pounds annually and secure a seat for you in the House of Lords."
"In the future, if Mia and I have children, I will ensure they return to the United Kingdom and establish a bank!"
To Donnie, this matter was merely a transaction, and he didn’t want to waste too much time on it.
As for securing a seat in the House of Lords for Earl Bock, it was definitely impossible for Donnie or his representatives to achieve directly. But for Earl Bock, it was a different matter.
The other party was already aristocracy in the United Kingdom, a prerequisite for entering the House of Lords.
As long as Donnie was willing to spend money on this matter and with the help of people like Waldorf Astor, it was certainly promising.
The United Kingdom was divided into the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Traditionally, most members of the House of Lords were old aristocratic families, whereas the House of Commons became the battleground for capital aristocrats following the arrival of capitalism.
Earl Bock was conflicted; becoming a member of the House of Lords had always been his aspiration.
Once he entered the House of Lords, he’d gain power. With power comes security in wealth!
Previously, he had tried to marry his daughter, Mia Bock, to either a nobleman or a great merchant, with precisely this goal in mind!
