(Bow and thank you for the monthly pass support of "Fengshen Yu Shao", "Xu Zonghui" and "ZXY"!)

Andrew went to help Zhou Ming report to the queen, Zhou Ming and Caitlin were still waiting in the communication room, and by this time, Caitlin had also calmed down, but she was still a little worried. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Zhou Ming, you said that he would really help you report to the Queen of England, and would the Queen of England really be persuaded by him? Caitlyn asked.

"Don't worry, he will definitely do it, or this is not up to him at all, do you remember what I just said? I'm here to send them money, what reason do they have to drive me away if they are short of money?" Zhou Ming said confidently, "As for his hostility, it's just that his pride that he can't let go of is just doing trouble, and of course there is also a little deliberate acting element in it." ”

It is not for nothing that Zhou Ming will have such self-confidence, because in Zhou Ming's memory, there is one thing he remembers more clearly, that is, the opening of Buckingham Palace, Zhou Ming still remembers that this news also caused a lot of sensation in the world, after all, this is the Queen's bedroom and daily office location. Just imagine, if one day Zhongnanhai also opens up and becomes a tourist attraction that can come and go at will, it will also be extremely sensational.

The most important reason for this is that the British royal family cannot afford the maintenance of several castles such as Buckingham Palace, and needs to use the ticket revenue from the opening of Buckingham Palace to maintain the maintenance of Buckingham Palace.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand, after all, Buckingham Palace is also an ancient palace, under the erosion of time, there will inevitably be some aging phenomena, so it is necessary to repair the palace regularly, in addition, the royal family also has to maintain the royal guard and pay a large amount of other castle expenses, with the depreciation of the pound, the income from the financial appropriation gradually can not maintain the royal family's expenditure on this area, and finally Buckingham Palace has to be opened.

Some gossip says that the British royal family has said that the opening of Buckingham Palace is a "last resort shame" for the royal family! Zhou Ming does not know the authenticity of this news, but one can imagine what kind of situation the British royal family's current financial situation has become.

This is not to say that the British royal family really can't even take out the money to maintain the castle, but the family's wealth is under the control of the sect, and it is impossible to simply spend on repairing the castle, so the royal family relies more on the British government's appropriations for all the activities of the royal family.

This is a compromise between the royal family and the parliament, but in the case of the depreciation of the pound, the parliament's appropriations have not increased, so gradually, the royal family's financial situation is not bad, or rather, this is what the parliament likes to see, so that more power can be obtained from the royal family!

Zhou Ming didn't have time to care about the power struggle in the UK, but it was precisely because he understood the current situation of the British royal family that Zhou Ming deliberately threw out such a piece of news that they couldn't refuse at all, as a member of the royal family, whether it was for the family or for his future salary, it was impossible for him not to report.

Sure enough, in just ten minutes, Andrew returned to the room and said to Zhou Ming: "Huaxia, Her Majesty is invited." ”

Zhou Ming and Caitlin breathed a sigh of relief, and finally completed the incredible feat of meeting the queen.

This made the guard who brought them in also breathe a sigh of relief, he originally just had a skeptical attitude, but he didn't think it was true, he was glad that he didn't make a random decision, but he didn't know that it was his conservative attitude that gave Zhou Ming the opportunity to create this miracle, in fact, Zhou Ming and Caitlin didn't have any bullshit appointments at all.

"Do you know, Mr. Andrew, if I were you, I would call us Mr. Zhou Ming and His Highness Caitlin. ”

When passing by Andrew's side, Zhou Ming deliberately reminded him, which made him not blow up his lungs suddenly, but Zhou Ming was really kind enough to remind him, after all, he had already lost at this time, what should he do with his face?

Just like now, it was clear that Andrew hated to kill Zhou Ming, but he still had to lead Zhou Ming, and they came to a side hall after passing through a long corridor.

It can be seen that this is supposed to be the place where the queen met the Chinese guests, because Zhou Ming saw a calligraphy and painting sent by Cixi on the wall, which was just an ordinary birthday wish, but it was a symbol of the once powerful Britain .

Andrew asked Zhou Ming and Caitlin to wait here for a while, and the queen would come over shortly.

Zhou Ming nodded to show that he understood, but he didn't sit on the chair and wait, after all, he was fortunate to be able to enter the Buckingham Palace that had not yet opened, and he would be too sorry for himself if he didn't visit.

You know, even the dilapidated Harusburg has so many valuable collections, as the royal palace of the most powerful country in the world, his collection is naturally richer. It is true that Zhou Ming saw a lot of Chinese style furnishings here, although Zhou Ming did not understand antiques, he could also understand that once these things flowed out, they must be priceless.

In the end, Zhou Ming set his sights on the calligraphy and painting of Cixi, if you put aside the emotion, this is a very good calligraphy and painting, the strokes are vigorous and powerful, and they all say that the words are like their people, no matter how much she has made Huaxia suffer, at least she can take charge of the empire, and she also has her ability.

Soon twenty minutes passed, the door of the room was opened again, and a gray-haired old man walked in accompanied by a servant, and Zhou Ming recognized her identity at a glance - Queen Elizabeth of England. In fact, as the most famous woman in the world, it is difficult for Zhou Ming to recognize her, and under the law of life continuation ridiculed on the Internet, there is not much difference between her now and twenty years later.

Seeing her come in, Zhou Ming and Caitlin immediately got up and saluted her: "Hello Your Majesty, it's a great honor for you to agree to my rude request to meet." ”

Elisabeth smiled and nodded, then sat down in front of Zhou Ming and Caitlin, and said straight to the point: "It seems that you are the Chinese man who said that he brought me 100 million pounds." ”

Zhou Ming is not surprised by this, after all, politeness is a need to adjust the atmosphere, and when the identity reaches the point of Elizabe, she doesn't need to adjust the so-called atmosphere with you at all, just like Zhou Ming met with Yang Lao at the beginning.

Zhou Ming nodded and replied: "That's right, and this hundred million pounds is just a very conservative number, he can become more, one billion and ten billion are possible." ”

"So, the money isn't in your hands right now, and it takes me or my family to do something to make a profit, right?" asked Elisabe.

"Her Majesty's wisdom is incomparable!" Zhou Ming admitted.

"Why do you think I'll promise you?" asked Elisabeth curiously.

"No one is indifferent to wealth, even if she is the Queen of England. Zhou Ming replied.

Queen Elizabeth pondered for a while, and then motioned for Zhou Ming and Caitlin to sit down and talk, which made Zhou Ming breathe a sigh of relief, because it at least meant that she was already seriously considering Zhou Ming's suggestion, and her consideration was only one step away from persuasion.

Zhou Ming and Caitlin sat down, and Queen Elisabeth looked at Zhou Ming and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to do, is the money you promised a reward, or something else?"

"It's the return on investment. Zhou Ming said directly, "To put it simply, this money is not given to you by me, but the income I get from helping you make investments." ”

"I see, and if so, then I think I need to remind you that this will be very little attractive to me. Elisabeth said.

"I understand that because you invest will fail, you don't trust any investor. Zhou Ming said, "Then here, I think it is necessary for me to explain my identity, I am one of the largest shareholders of the Quantum Fund, and here I want to say sorry to Her Majesty, because I asked Joros to do that in the recent dumping of the pound." ”

The expression on Elisabe's face didn't change in the light: "So you think this will convince me?"

"I don't think so, but I need to tell Her Majesty another piece of information, which is that my next investment is in Mexico, where there is a great deal of Maronite wealth. Zhou Ming said.

Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Elizabe's eyes, although it was only for a moment, it was still accurately captured by Zhou Ming.

She'll be surprised, and she's in the right direction!

Zhou Ming had a bottom in his mind, and he continued: "Since the Mexican economy is in very big problems right now, we have decided to carry out a large-scale speculative operation there to create an economic crisis for Mexico and plunder some wealth. ”

"Since you know the Maroon Sect, then you should also understand that the money of any of the Thirteen Sects is not easy to move. Elisabeth reminded.

Zhou Ming did not answer this question directly, but asked Elisabeth rhetorically: "It turns out that the famous queen will also be afraid?"

Elisabeth frowned, a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to her composure: "Young man, since you are so smart, then you should also understand that the agitation will have no effect on me, and the problem of attacking Mexico's economy is not a matter of fear or not, is it?"

Zhou Ming saluted the queen: "I'm very sorry Your Majesty, I lost my words just now, but maybe I have too much expectation for Her Majesty, so if Her Majesty doesn't want to participate in this investment action, I will leave immediately, and I will pay for all the losses caused today, or I can write a check now." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Ming took out his checkbook, wrote a check for 10 million pounds, put it on the table, and got up to say goodbye to Elizabe.

But at this time, Andrew, who had been standing behind Elisabe, suddenly said: "Mr. Zhou Ming......"

Although he just subconsciously shouted, Zhou Ming couldn't help laughing, turned back to Elisabeth and said, "It seems that my luck is good, Your Majesty I respect very much, but maybe the people around you are obviously not worthy of you." ”

Zhou Ming is talking about Andrew, who can't hold his breath, Zhou Ming actually deliberately made that kind of performance just now, the purpose is to test Elizabeth, the scheming Elisabeth will naturally not be fooled, but Andrew, who knows the inside story, was deceived by Zhou Ming, and his subconscious obstruction undoubtedly betrayed Elizabe's true attitude, in fact, Elisabeth very much wants to get this investment income.

"Mr. Andrew, please leave the room at once!" said Elisabelle, in an unmistakable tone.

Andrew also understood that he had made a huge mistake, and he apologized to Elisabe and left the room.

After he left, Elisabeth said to Zhou Ming: "Okay, Mr. Zhou Ming, now I think we can discuss how to make this investment." ”
