Chapter 133: Grosvenor
Wess Manor, main building, master's study.
When Lin Hong came up to deliver the wine, Lin Ning's expression was a little strange.
Lin Ning is no stranger to collecting rent, collecting land rent, Lin Ning This is the first time.
"What's the matter with the ground rent, does Westster need to collect the rent?"
Poured two glasses of wine casually, flicked the wine glass with a pale pink manicure, and after a moment of silence, Lin Ning asked softly.
"Wester has a tax levy and doesn't have to pay rent. I'm talking about West London, South West. ”
"London West, including luxury London?"
"Including, ma'am, you should take the time to take care of the family's property. ”
Lin Ning looked quite surprised, and John smiled kindly and said seriously.
"If you understand correctly, what do you mean, the luxurious London I visited in the afternoon is our West?"
"Not exactly. ”
"How?"
"The majority of property ownership in luxury London is owned by the Corrupt Royal Property Office and the Grosvenor Group. ”
"If the Royal Property Office doesn't mention it, what does the Grosvenor Group have to do with us?"
"Ahem, ma'am, the Grosvenor Group, it's yours. ”
I've been a housekeeper for half my life, and I've never seen such a patriarch who doesn't care about his industry.
It should be to avoid Lin Ning being too embarrassed, and without waiting for Lin Ning to speak, John continued.
"Ma'am, you seem to have forgotten that you're not just Ninglin, West, or Ninglin, Grosvenor. ”
"Isn't it good to say it straight?"
Inexplicably has an extra title, and it's also drunk.
Lin Ning rolled her eyes, she really didn't understand what the situation was like with these nobles.
"To put it simply, when you officially succeed to the throne, you will own 0.22% of the land in the country, you will be the largest landowner in the country, and you will be the woman who owns half of London, and the two most famous rich areas in London, Mayfair and Belgravia, are yours... ”
“。。。 ”
John looked proud and sounded pretty good.
Lin Ning took a sip of the wine in the glass, squeezed the little hand of the wine glass, and shook involuntarily.
“。。。 As the grandson of the original Duke of West, the old Duke Hugh was once the richest man in the Rotten Country? Also the 4th generation of the Grosvenor Patriarch? Rich enough to buy all of London. The old duke has been married four times, and is in a lover relationship with Coco Chanel... ”
"Chanel?"
Gurgling John? That's pretty hilarious.
Until you hear the well-known Chanel? Lin Ning, who was confused, interjected.
"That's right? It's the Chanel who kisses the world. ”
"Kiss the world?"
"Chanel lipstick, I like a lot of women. ”
"Huh. ”
A serious little old man? Just kidding, don't mention how cold it is.
Lin Ning smiled awkwardly? It can also be regarded as having a certain understanding of the humor of the people of the corrupt country.
"The old duke and Chanel have been good for ten years, and Chanel who doesn't want to marry him will always be the white moonlight in his heart... In remembrance, 20 years later? The old duke on a lamppost in the heart of London? The logo of the Chanel brand was engraved, along with a capital West coat of arms, which is still engraved today. ”
"Still today?"
"That's right, that precinct, part of West. ”
“。。。 ”
Fear of sudden silence in the air? Lin Ning pursed her lips, must admit it? It's a feeling that everyone is prouder than themselves, which is really not good.
"Ma'am? With less than a week to go before you officially succeed to the throne, it's worth knowing what you do on a day-to-day basis after your succession. ”
It is not difficult to see from Lin Ning's expression? Lin Ning should not be interested in the old duke's affairs.
John took a sip of the wine in his glass? The look on your face when you speak? It's quite dignified.
"Hah, I'm the biggest landlord in the corrupt country, do I still need to work?"
"Well, ma'am, you have inherited not only the wealth accumulated by your family for more than 370 years, but also your responsibilities. ”
"Well, how does the old duke usually work?"
"The old duke has to do 3 things every day, one is to run the Grosvenor Group, the second is to manage the charity, and the third is to fulfill his obligations in the army. ”
"Sounds okay, shouldn't be too much of a hassle. ”
"Well, ma'am, the old duke is the president of 150 charitable organizations, and so will you when you succeed to the throne. ”
“。。。 ”
"Ahem, ahem, ma'am. ”
Lin Ning looked dumbfounded, looking quite cute, John coughed lightly, and continued.
"Before the accident, the old duke promised to build a veterans' rehabilitation center and provide it with a full set of trauma medical equipment, which will cost about 90 million pounds. ”
"90 million, pounds?"
"Yes, you heard it right. ”
"Well, don't tell me I don't have that much money at home. ”
John's expression was very complicated, and looking at Lin Ning in his eyes, he had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
"Unfortunately, there were, but when you succeeded to the throne, there were. ”
"Don't you think it's a contradiction that 90 million pounds is not there? ”
"Madame, you seem to have forgotten that inheritance is subject to tax. ”
"Inheritance tax?"
"That's right, and it's the most upscale, 40%. ”
"What does 40% mean?"
"In terms of inheritance tax, there is a seven-year time limit for corrupt countries. Seven years before the death date, different tax rates are incurred depending on when the donor gifted the property. 7 years is 0, 6-7 years is 8%, 5-6 years is 16%, 4-5 years is 32%... ”
"Stop, just say how much you need to pay. ”
"The specific tax officers are still verifying, and it should be roughly between 2.8 and 3.5 billion pounds. ”
"28-35? According to what you mean, just pay taxes, and I will pay tens of billions of dollars?"
In my memory, the exchange rate between the British pound and the Chinese dollar was 8.68, and after mental arithmetic, Lin Ning opened her mouth, and the whole person was not good.
"No less than two, to be exact. ”
"Less poverty, am I not a duke, I am still the largest landlord in the corrupt country, and I am still the chairman of 150 charities, so I don't have any preferential policies?"
"Unfortunately, no. Madame, do you know that in recent years, there are many nobles who have given up their inheritance because of inheritance tax, such as earls, marquises, viscounts, barons... ”
"Stop, what are they doing, don't they have a West fund at home? The fund also needs to pay inheritance tax?"
"Madam, the taxes I mentioned earlier are not included in the West. ”
"It's dark. Why didn't you tell me earlier, there are only a few days left, where can I find you so much money? Ye Lingfei?"
I don't know why, every time I am short of money, the first person who comes to mind is Ye Lingfei.
Looking at John with a wry smile on his face in front of him, Lin Ning pursed his lips and continued.
"Why are you still stunned, let's figure it out together. ”
"How?"
"If you don't want to make money, can you still conjure it up for me?"
"That, madam, you misunderstood, as early as when I sent the will to the noble committee, I was already preparing for this tax, and I am just waiting for the tax side to give the figure. ”
"So you're ready for the money?"
"Of course, West's more than 300 years of inheritance will not be crushed by an inheritance tax, believe me, this is not only the highest tax in the history of the aristocracy, but also the glory of our West, our gift to the corrupt country, is... ”
"Shut up, you idiot, it's all my money, why should I give it to the corrupt government. ”
John looked quite proud, Lin Ning pursed his lips and said angrily.
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
"When Ye Lingfei doesn't exist, isn't it fragrant to deceive her?"
“。。。 ”
Lin Ning looked confident, which was really difficult to understand.
John opened his mouth, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Get me a bottle of eye drops, and play with me at dinner. ”
After being silent for a long time, as if thinking of something, Lin Ning's eyes lit up and hurriedly said.
"Madame, do you want it?"
"A crying child has milk to eat, and you don't understand it. ”
"Bitter Meat Trick?"
"I didn't see it, your Mandarin is pretty good. ”
"I have always had a Chinese teacher at home, thirty-six plans, incredible. ”
"Rare and strange, Luo weaving is the ancestor of the Yin people. ”
"Luo Zhijing?"
"Ask the teacher yourself, what did Sun Lingyu say?"
John is very studious, but Lin Ning didn't have the heart to teach, thinking of Guan He's money, Lin Ning took a sip of wine and asked directly.
"Heh, Mr. Sun's alcohol consumption is not very good, two bottles of whiskey, that's all. ”
"Old fox. What did he say? Did he really wet the bed at the age of four?"
"According to him, there are photographs to prove it, ma'am, that's not the point, and it's not what you should be focusing on. ”
"Ahem, I'm not curious, okay, let's get down to business. ”
"It's a total of 240 million pounds in cash, and Mr. Sun didn't say where it is. ”
"Didn't say that?"
When it came to money, Mr. Sun suddenly fell asleep. ”
"This guy is pretending to be drunk. ”
"Mr. Sun's state at that time should not be pretending. ”
"Isn't it important to pretend? In these days, there are still few people who tempt by drunkenness?"
It's that people have selfish intentions, such a big sum of money, Lin Ning didn't think that Sun Lingyu would be so stupid that because he was drunk, he and John would dig out their hearts and lungs.
"What does Madam mean, Sun Lingyu said this money while he was drunk?"
"Otherwise, Guan He should have an explanation of the origin of this money, how dare he take it, a second generation of Huaguo?"
"Madam, you are right, even if there are 50 pounds of cash over there, it will cost at least 5 cubic meters, and even if he carries 10 million yuan each time, he will have to carry it 24 times. ”
"Hehe, if that drug lord is stupid, believe me, Sun Lingyu's guy, if you carry it three times at most, you will have to be cold. ”
"That's true, where Ms. Guan has appeared recently, there should be many people secretly staring. ”
"So, we can think of it, Sun Lingyu can do the same, this guy, don't look at people who are tall and smart. ”
Pale pink manicure, flicking the wine glass, Lin Ning said, and gave Lin Hong not far away, and lost a look.
"You arrange for the two of you to run away, what kind of drug lord, let's deal with it first. ”
When Lin Hong stepped forward, Lin Ning said lightly.
"Good. ”
"No one can beat me for money, John, am I right?"
"Of course. ”
"If this matter is handed over to you, what do you think of Sun Lingyu's share?"
If Mr. Sun wants to bring it back to China, the family has a listed company in Shanghai and a casino on Ao Island, and some have a way to give him the money. ”
"How do I remember it's Four-Six?"
"Madam, you're right, forgive me for being foolish, it's indeed four six, he four, and we six. ”
"Go ahead and arrange it, just tell him that he is a smart man and knows how to choose. ”
"Okay, I'll go. ”
"Wait, we already have half of this money, don't miscalculate the account. ”
Seeing that John was about to leave, thinking of Guan He's promise, Lin Ning said softly.
"40% of 120 million, ma'am, it's not hard to calculate. ”
"Hehe, this guy is really lucky, he won tons of AD calcium milk when he came, not to mention, he won 400 million when he left. ”
"Hehe, thanks to you, otherwise he won't be able to take this money back alone. ”
"Go ahead, remember to ask Lisa to bring the eye drops. ”
After all, money does not come from the wind, and it is very important to open up sources and reduce expenditure.
Looking at the back of John's departure, Lin Ning sighed lightly, it is not easy to support a family, and Sun Lingyu should not mind.
Wess Manor, annex, guest rooms.
When John came to the door, Sun Lingyu had been awake for a while.
didn't give Sun Lingyu a chance to come back to his senses at all, John brushed his delicate mustache and got straight to the point.
"Mr. Sun's acting skills are very good, we can help you get that money. ”
"You're not bad, it's only been less than 6 hours, I thought you would come to me tomorrow. ”
"Ms. Guan should have explained that half of the money was ours. ”
That's right, she also confessed that this money was the stolen money of a big drug lord. ”
"Give me the address, your share, and we'll give it to you. ”
"You know, I'm Chinese, my home is in China, I'm just here to talk about the Chinese agency of cheese and ham. ”
No matter how much money you can't bring back, it's useless, Sun Lingyu casually lit a cigar and continued.
"I want Chinese dollars, I want clean money. ”
"No problem, the current market is Sanqi, if Mr. Sun thinks it is high, you can try to find another way. ”
"Sanqi?"
"We are seven, you are three. ”
"This joke is not funny at all, are you taking advantage of the fire?"
John looked quite serious, and Sun Lingyu, who was sure that he had heard correctly, squeezed out the cigar in his hand fiercely, and his expression when he spoke was a lot more hideous.
"Anger never solves the problem, Mr. Sun, before you get angry, have you forgotten that this money is actually a stolen money?"
“。。。 ”
"Believe me, in the Rotten Country, no one dares to take this dirty money except West. ”
"I want to see Boss Lin. ”
The original 120 million pounds was instantly reduced by half, how could Sun Lingyu give up at this moment, after a moment of silence, Sun Lingyu said in a deep voice.
"If it's for this money, Mr. Sun doesn't have to, since Madame has left this matter to me with full responsibility, she won't easily interfere with my decision. ”
"You... ”
"In this way, at a fixed price, I can give you forty percent. ”
"Four-six?"
"That's right, as long as we get people to see the money, your account in Huaguo will have 400 million. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the current exchange rate is 8.7, 46 million pounds, which should be 420 million. ”
"You laughed, it's 400 million, after tax. ”
Since Lin Ning said that he won 400 million, it can't be more.
John smiled and narrowed his eyes, and between his words, there was no way to refuse.
"After taxes?"
"Deal?"
“。。。 ”
