In order not to get into trouble, Liu Wei and the others went back to Edinburgh and sent back the "borrowed" Bujiadi Weilong. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Knowing that Liu Wei had left Princess Anne on the side of the road, Bao Liuqing smiled and said nothing. Although as a woman, Bao Liuqing didn't know if Liu Wei was right to do this, but he must have left a very deep impression on Princess Anne, at least before him, no man dared to leave the princess on the side of the road.

By the time we got back to Highwickcombe, it was already early the next morning.

After breakfast, Liu Wei changed into a dress and rushed to Windsor Palace in a rented Rolls-Royce from Nagishou.

After Bao Liuqing explained, he learned that the prince usually does not have a business card, and his identity is the best business card, and that business card is the ticket to participate in the title auction.

Windsor Palace, also known as Windsor Castle, is one of the main administrative residences of the British royal family.

In history, there is a very famous "Duke of Windsor", that is, the elder brother of King George VI and the uncle of the current Queen Elizabeth II, Edward VIII, who "wants beauty and not country". In order to marry Mrs. Simpson, Edward VIII relinquished the throne to his younger brother Prince Albert after 325 days of king, and was later given the title of "His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor" by George VI.

With his business card in hand, Liu Wei entered Windsor Palace smoothly, but only waited for two hours to see Prince Philip.

"Mr. Liu, I heard that you are from Hong Kong and now live in the United States?" Presumably there were too many things, so Prince Philip went straight to the point.

"It's a little bit of a small business over there in the U.S., running a couple of hotels."

"A hotel in Las Vegas?" Prince Philip laughed, "When I accompanied the Queen on her visit to the United States, I went to Las Vegas, which is a very young city. ”

"It's also a very modern city."

Prince Philip nodded and said, "Let's put it this way, how much price does Mr. Liu plan to set for the knighthood?" ”

The prince is too direct. Liu Wei thought for a moment and said, "I've only heard about this matter, and I haven't learned about it in detail. ”

"It's all here." The prince handed Liu Wei a stack of papers and said, "A knighthood bestowed by the Queen, and at the same time an honorary citizen of the United Kingdom." Because it was the first time that the knighthood was auctioned, there were only five places. If Mr. Liu is interesting, he has to hurry. ”

"There are a lot of people who want to get a knighthood, right?"

The prince smiled and said, "There are more than 100 people who have consulted, and more than half of them have given quotations. It's not the final bid, but it's not far off. ”

"Is a billion dollars enough?"

"Mr. Liu is really generous, but at present, I am afraid there is not much hope."

Liu Wei frowned, and Prince Philip did not panic.

"Of course, this is an open auction. In a little more than ten days, we will hold an auction at the Royal Palace, and whoever pays the highest price will receive the knighthood. ”

"It's that simple?"

The prince smiled and nodded, and said, "There are many people who want to get the title of knighthood, and for the sake of fairness, we can only do this. ”

"So, I'm eligible to bid as well."

"Of course, it's just Mr. Liu's offer......"

"If it's two billion dollars, it should be fine, right?"

A look of surprise flashed across the prince's face, and he immediately returned to normal. "Mr. Liu is indeed very capital, and I believe that you will definitely be able to get the opportunity to have dinner with the queen."

"It's a great thing to meet the Queen."

"It's just that Mr. Liu should not forget that if you participate in the auction, you have to pay one-tenth of the deposit. Of course, if someone offers a higher price than Mr. Liu, the reserve will be refunded in full. ”

"To whom should the deposit be given?"

The prince took out a form. "This is the account we opened for this auction, and if we send the money in within 10 days, we will automatically get the opportunity to bid, at least 100 million US dollars."

"His Royal Highness the Prince can rest assured, I will prepare this money as soon as possible."

At this point, there's not much more to say. Prince Philip didn't invite Liu Wei to stay for lunch, and Liu Wei didn't have this idea, he had to hurry up to make up the money.

When leaving the palace, Liu Wei met Princess Anne, who was sent over by two bodyguards.

Seeing Liu Wei, the princess's eyes immediately widened.

Liu Wei ignored her and went straight to the Rolls-Royce car. The princess definitely didn't expect that Liu Wei would appear at Windsor Palace, and she must have been guessing why Liu Wei came here.

Let her guess.

Back at the manor, Liu Wei immediately found Bao Liuqing.

"Two hundred million dollars!?" Bao Liuqing's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "Have you discussed it with Lao Zhou?" ”

"No, I'm looking for you first, I just want you to talk about it."

"How much money do we have?"

"There's a lot of money, but a lot of it can't be used."

Bao Liuqing was stunned for a moment and understood what Liu Wei meant.

"We have to let Lao Zhou hurry up and prepare, at least 200 million US dollars, it doesn't hurt to have more, anyway, let's raise the price and let the British royal family make more money."

"Okay, I'll arrange it, but I'm a little short on time."

"How's the sports car going?"

"The car was bought, it was very cheap, only more than 10,000 pounds, and the parts were bought, and it cost tens of thousands of pounds, but it was almost impossible to change it faster than the Bugadi Veyron."

"That said, it's still possible."

Bao Liuqing nodded and said, "I asked someone to ask if you want to surpass the Bujiadi Veyron, in addition to replacing the engine with more horsepower, you have to transform the engine. ”

"How?"

"Using hydrogen as fuel and pure oxygen as an oxidizer can increase the power of the engine by 50 percent, but it's very dangerous."

"How dangerous is it?" Liu Wei frowned.

"If you don't get it right, it will explode, and the output of 1,500 horsepower will make it difficult to control the sports car, and it is difficult to say what it can be changed to."

"That's it, it's almost nothing, just surpass Bujiadi Veyron."

"You're not afraid of death?"

"I'm not that easy to die."

Bao Liuqing shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, just do as you say, but you need to wait for a week, and you have to find a few experts." ”

"Anything else?"

"Of course there is, and it has to be yours."

"Me?" Liu Wei frowned, it must have something to do with Princess Anne.

Sure enough, Bao Liuqing said: "That Danish Prince Charming went to Switzerland, and the Duke of York's family will also go to Switzerland tomorrow for the summer, and Anne will definitely go too." ”

"Blind date over there?"

"Pretty much, that's what it is anyway."

"It's nothing to do with me, that guy will be scared off sooner or later anyway."

"Of course it's your business, if you want to stand out, you have to break the siege for the princess, let the competitors take the initiative to quit, and then make the princess grateful to you."

"Thank you?" Liu Wei laughed, "I threw her to the side of the road, it's strange that she doesn't hate me to death." ”

"Is it that serious? After last night's incident, she's sure to remember you. ”

Liu Wei sighed, knowing that he couldn't fool Bao Liuqing. "You're not going to let me put a pistol to that guy's head and keep him away from the princess, are you?"

"If you feel like it's appropriate, you can do that too."

Liu Wei rolled his eyes, knowing that Bao Liuqing was joking.

"You'll know when you go, and just in time to see the old jackal, and your father." Bao Liuqing paused slightly, "I have already contacted Yuan Changqing and asked him to clean up the manor. If you catch up with Princess Anne, you can also take her to the manor for a fun weekend. ”

"You think it's pleasant?"

Bao Liuqing laughed and said, "Anyway, it's your business whether to go or not, I've said what I should say." ”

Liu Wei sighed and said, "Contact the airport, I'll go over tonight." Let's go to the manor first, I don't know what happened to the old jackal. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away."

That night, Liu Wei took Takeuchi Kotone and others to Switzerland, and arrived at the "Maiden's Manor" in the early morning of the following day.

Compared to the last time I visited, the estate has changed a lot, with the addition of several buildings, including a "power plant" with several large fuel generators, a warehouse to store various supplies, dormitories for a dozen guards, a large garage, and a security monitoring center for Reading.

After asking the guards, Liu Wei learned that all the fuel from the power plant was stored underground.

These guards were all arranged by Li Tingxuan, all of whom had served in K1 for more than five years, and the captain was a special forces soldier who joined K1 ten years earlier than Liu Wei.

It doesn't look good, but the security measures are very tight.

Eighteen guards were divided into three shifts of twelve hours each, with only two guards in the manor and four other guards on duty patrolling the perimeter. In the event of an emergency, the guards of another squad can complete the mobilization within five minutes. In the event of a major incident, all eighteen guards were able to go into battle.

The combat team, composed of eighteen K1 special forces, is definitely not to be underestimated.

Of course, there are generally no special circumstances. The estate is very remote, there is only one road, the nearest neighbors are more than ten kilometers away, and the Jungfrau is backed by it.

Even if someone thinks there's something wrong with it, don't try to get in.

Among other things, in order to protect against air threats, there is a light air defense system with eight missiles installed behind the warehouse, and the guidance radar is mounted on the bell tower, protected by a radome disguised as the tip of the building. The guards also stored a dozen "Stingers", which were enough for a surprise attack by a small group of special forces.

On the ground, in addition to visible fences, minefields have been set up around them, using plastic mines that cannot be detected.

Just in case, there is a small helicopter in the manor at any time, which can send Yuan Changqing and other important people away, while the guards break through from the ground.

In addition to this, the captain of the guard also set a strict schedule.

Yuan Changqing, Beard and other researchers usually stay in underground laboratories, and even if they want to go out to bask in the sun, they must strictly refer to the "satellite timetable". That is, after the spy satellites of the United States and European countries pass by, they can leave the building and come to the open area.

Accompanied by the captain of the guard, Liu Wei walked around the manor and was very satisfied with the security settings.

Because Liu Wei also came out of K1 and received similar training to the guards, he didn't give any opinion, but was very grateful to these fellow brothers who didn't care about personal gains and losses.

When it was almost dawn, Liu Wei went to the underground laboratory.
