Chapter 948 Black Swan Castle
After Vickers and others left, Lu Feng quickly finished the remaining food, paid the bill, and left the restaurant.
The appearance of Vickers just now completely ruined his mood for enjoying the food.
Driving a convertible Bentley, Lu Feng returned to Jed's castle.
Tonight is the birthday party of the old Duke Hearn, and he has to go to the system mall to choose a more substantial gift.
In the room, Lu Feng sat upright on the bed, concentrating his mind and entering the system space.
The system's mall contains a wide variety of items, from some powerful future technology products to various antiques and rare treasures. It can be said that there is nothing the system cannot do, as long as you can think of it.
Soon, he was dazzled by the items on the screen, but even so, he was still choosing very carefully.
After all, this time we are celebrating the old duke's birthday, so the gift must not be sloppy. It cannot be too expensive, nor can it be too simple. We have to strike the right balance.
After choosing for a while, I finally chose a suitable gift, a walking stick.
Don't underestimate this cane. It costs 23,000 reputation points in the system's mall. It is made entirely of top-quality blood sandalwood, and the handle on the top is carved into a dragon head.
Combined with the dragon pattern on the body of the cane, it looks like a lifelike dragon.
Two red gems are inlaid in the eye sockets of the dragon head, making the whole cane look noble and low-key.
"Okay, this cane is fine. Don't French gentlemen all like to carry a cane?"
After muttering to himself, he logged out of the system.
Night falls quietly, and for most ordinary people, it is a very ordinary night.
But for the Hearn family, a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, it is a very important day, because today is the birthday of their patriarch.
In the castle, Jed, who had rushed back from the company, pulled Lu Feng into the car and drove directly to the place where the banquet was held.
"Lu, I have good news for you. Mr. Snake and Mr. Enzo are here too. I think they must be very happy to see you."
In the main driver's seat, Jade was driving while talking to Lu Feng who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Oh? Really? That's great! I haven't seen them for a long time since we last met in Italy."
Lu Feng raised his eyebrows, his tone a little excited.
He doesn't have many friends abroad, only Jed, Snake and Enzo.
Now, because of the old duke's banquet, they will gather together again to drink and chat happily.
Of course, the most important thing is to discuss entering the beauty industry.
Although the four of them had a brief discussion in Italy last time, the skin-gelling cream and scar removal cream had not yet been officially launched on the market.
But this time it’s different. Yuanning Cosmetics Company has already made a name for itself throughout China with its two incredible products, and Europe naturally cannot lag too far behind.
No matter what, the consumer group in Europe is much larger than that in China.
After half an hour, the car finally arrived at the real base of the Hearn family - Black Swan Castle.
As the residence of the Hearn family, which is famous throughout Europe, Black Swan Castle covers an astonishing area of more than 12 million square meters.
Of course, the area here refers to the scope, not the building area of the main castle. In fact, the entire Black Swan Castle is surrounded by woods and lawns, and there is even a small river running through it.
The two drove across the wooden bridge. As soon as they crossed the river, Lu Feng saw a huge human-shaped statue standing not far away, which was more than ten meters high.
The entire statue is carved from a single huge piece of rock. Judging from the statue's dynamic lines, the craftsman must be very famous.
The statue is wearing ancient European noble armor and holding a giant sword. There is a medal with a blood-stained cloak on its armor.
Lu Feng recognized this medal; it was the emblem of the Hearn family.
Jed, who was driving, noticed Lu Feng's curiosity about the statue, so he started to explain the origin of the statue.
It turns out that the statue is of none other than Hearn Schuyler, the founder of the Hearn family.
It was he who founded the now-famous Hearn family.
Upon learning that the statue actually represented the founder of the Hearn family, Lu Feng couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.
In the future, will his descendants also carve a statue like this for him?
After all, he was confident that he could create a force in the near future that was no less powerful than any top family.
The car continued and soon arrived at the castle's designated parking area.
At this time, the place was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the lineup of this parking lot were put outside, it would beat any luxury car exhibition held on Blue Star.
The reason was simple. There were too many luxury cars. Just with a casual glance, Lu Feng saw no less than five different models of Rolls-Royce.
As for others like Bentley and Maybach, there are too many to count.
As for top sports cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bugatti, they are rare.
But it is understandable. After all, this is to celebrate the birthday of the old Duke of Hearn, and those who can receive the invitation are the leaders of various major forces.
For these big guys, a sports car is just a big toy. For formal occasions, they still have to look at these top-notch cars that can hold up the scene.
"Come on, Lu, I'll take you to see the glory of the Hearn family!"
Jade put his arm around Lu Feng's shoulders, his tone full of undisguised pride.
"Hahaha, fine, let me see this ancient power and its unique splendor."
Lu Feng laughed heartily.
The two walked side by side to the formal venue.
Because they had already arrived at the place where the banquet was about to begin, by the time they got there, the huge lawn was already filled with people standing in groups of three or five.
Servants carrying various drinks were walking around very busy.
"Look, Lu, that's the patriarch of the Coles family. If you don't know the Coles family, then you must know their business, the Novartis Group."
"Of course, Novartis is just one of the Coles family's businesses; they have many other businesses."
Jed took the glass of red wine and pointed it at a middle-aged man in a tuxedo.
When Lu Feng heard that the man was the behind-the-scenes boss of Novartis Group, he was also very surprised.
If the Coles family is low-key, the Novartis Group's reputation is well-known.
This company is very famous in the pharmaceutical field of Blue Star, with a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to about 1.5 trillion Chinese yuan.
But such an influential group is only one of the family's businesses. One can imagine how much wealth these ancient families have accumulated.
