The marquis heir thought to himself: This person is indeed as insecure as the legend says. With so many bodyguards, he doesn’t know how much he will be paid every month.

"Okay, okay." Howard Davis said with a smile.

"Then I'll make a long story short. Let's talk about your ancestor, Mr. Ander Smith..."

Seeing Abel's impatient look, Howard Davis sped up his speech.

"Mr. Under Smith, he is actually the illegitimate son of James Stuart and a blacksmith's daughter!"

Seeing Abel frown, Howard Davis added:

"James Stuart is James I. The ninth King of Scotland and the first King of England and Ireland of the Stuart dynasty."

Abel didn't have any special feelings about the "shattering news" revealed by Howard Davis.

As mentioned before, the American WASP group can be traced back in their genealogy, and they are basically related to the British royal family.

Abel also knew that the ancestor of the American Smith family, Ander Smith, was the illegitimate son of James I.

This is what the genealogy says.

The genealogy of the Smith family was not unfamiliar to Abel.

As for the Smith family, it doesn't actually matter whether they are really the illegitimate children of James I.

Like the genealogy of the Shrub family, it is recorded that the ancestor of the Shrub family was the son of Charles II, an illegitimate son of the king...

Who can say this clearly?

There is also a genealogy of Morgen, saying that they are descendants of Charles I.

The Rockefeller genealogy shows that they are descendants of George III.

So it’s no big deal that Smith is a descendant of James I, right?

After looking through the 20th century, there are some WASP families that have been inherited in various states in the United States that have become prosperous.

You will find that the ancestors of these American WASP wealthy families are either kings or queens, and those who are almost always princes.

No one is an ordinary person.

When Howard Davis mentioned this point, Abel felt that it was a bit verbose.

"I know all this. It's all recorded in my genealogy. Mr. Davis, what I want to say now is - if you are a genealogy enthusiast, I can send you a copy when I return to the United States. But

Now, I don't have time to discuss my genealogy with you here."

Most of the genealogies of wealthy families in the United States are semi-public.

It is difficult for ordinary people to check, but it is easy for people with connections to find it.

Regardless of whether this kind of thing is true or false, wealthy families are not afraid of outsiders knowing about it.

They hope that the more people know about it, the better, because then even if it is false, it will gradually become true.

In Western societies where the theory of blood is deeply rooted, who doesn’t want their ancestors to be glorious figures and superiors to others?

The king's son is the king, and the king's grandson is the prime minister or commander-in-chief.

The king's descendants became capitalists and continued to rule ordinary people in a different image.

This is a very common understanding in Western society.

Europeans, even Neon, Han people.

In these places, they truly believe from the bottom of their hearts and subconsciously defend the fact that "dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and mice give birth to sons who can dig holes."

It seems that Abel really has no interest in this topic.

Howard thought Americans were just boring.

"Okay. The last thing I want to say to you, Mr. Smith, is that as a descendant of the former British royal family, what do you think of the current royal family?"

"Haha..." Abel chuckled and made a joke, "Mr. Davis and Mr. Butt, don't tell me that you are the restorers of the Stuart dynasty. And then you want me to

Will the descendants of James I overthrow the Windsor dynasty and restore the Stuart dynasty?"

"Uh..." Howard Davis broke into a cold sweat, "That's not what I meant..."

It has been many years since the Stuart dynasty fell, and then it went through the Hanoverian dynasty, the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty, and finally the Windsor dynasty.

If there is really going to be some bullshit restorationist, then the first two should be restored first.

"Mr. Davis." He said a few words before, but William Butt, who had been silently observing Abel and the bodyguards, said, "Speak directly, I believe Mr. Smith will understand."

Abel looked at the fat man, then at the director of the FSA, and nodded slightly.

"Hey - okay."

Howard Davis sighed, once again feeling that chatting with Americans was boring.

"Mr. Smith, I have some new funds in my name and I want to hand them over to Smith Financial."

Abel looked at Howard Davis intently, but he did not speak.

This old guy, like the Bute family, has been investing money in Smith Financial (UK) since last year.

This time Abel asked Jess to use the money to go long on British ITV stocks.

A large part of it is the money of the Howard and Bute families.

Only those leather case companies that are scattered and difficult to monitor are Smith's own.

So this time, half of Smith Financial’s gains on British ITV stocks will make them a huge profit.

Now the old guy said that he still had money that he wanted to entrust to himself.

I said a lot of long-winded things about the British royal family before.

Abel, who knew the identity behind this person, had already vaguely guessed who the funds Howard Davis mentioned belonged to.

What is the identity behind Howard Davis?

In addition to being the Director of the FSA, he is also the Chairman of the Royal Bank of Scotland!

The Royal Bank of Scotland's identity, as its name contains the word "royal", is related to the Windsor family.

At the same time, the current Royal Bank of Scotland was originally a regional bank headquartered in Edinburgh, UK.

In the past, many British people regarded it as the bank of Scotland.

But two years ago, in 2000, the Royal Bank of Scotland and the National Bank of Westminster merged to form the current Royal Bank of Scotland.

Let’s talk about the history of Westminster Bank. Its history can be traced back to the seventeenth century. On March 18, 1968, it was formed by the merger of three famous British banks and officially opened on January 1, 1970.

It was once one of the world's largest banking groups with the best capital quality.

Of the three banks that merged to form it, two of them had the title "Royal".

It's obvious enough.

As the largest commercial bank in the UK, Royal Bank of Scotland actually has a close relationship with Windsor.

Windsor is very rich, not to mention the actual money, which amounts to tens of billions of pounds.

Mainly real estate, various palaces, jewelry, etc.

And the various private trusts in private are actually the bulk of Wensha's wealth.

On the bright side, there are a lot of things that can be seen on the bright side, such as the long coastline, the British luxury street that foreigners must visit when traveling, and the manor’s profits. Every year, the profits flow to the royal family’s private account.

.

After so many years, not many people know how much money this money has been, and what industries and directions it has subsequently invested in.

The Duke of Westminster is the nominally richest man in Britain.

In fact, you know everything you need to know about who the real richest man in the UK is.

It's just that people know how to depreciate themselves and know what it means to overflow when the water is full.

Otherwise, do you really think that just relying on Elizabeth’s little contribution during World War II would give her such a huge influence?

In the end, what really makes the old lady influential is her wealth.

Howard Davis has already said this.

Abel took a deep breath and looked directly at him, "How much is the total amount of funds?"

"5 billion pounds. Can Mr. Smith take it?"

Abel shrugged his shoulders and replied with a smile: "The more, the better."

Howard Davis didn't do any ink either, so he smiled and said, "Can we sign the contract tomorrow?"

"no problem."

Seeing Abel so cheerful, Howard Davis laughed.

This very verbose old British man also became unusually cheerful.

"She wants to see you very much. She is very happy to see you. Mr. Smith, when will you have time?"

"at any time."
