439 People have weaknesses

The more Margaret made a fuss, the less threatening she was to Eliza.

At the beginning, Margaret was not thinking about the throne in private, and once during Eliza's visit abroad, she gave speeches everywhere, and her thoughts could not be hidden at all.

But Eliza was more sensible in the end, and Philips persuaded her to return to London early to stop Margaret.

Eliza calmly continued her journey, because she knew very well that it would be a fool to go back early.

As long as he does not make mistakes, then neither the first and cabinet ministers of Downing Street, nor the people and nobles will oppose him for the sake of Margaret.

Of course, she wasn't unprepared.

Mountbatten was first appointed Undersecretary of Staff of the Navy and then promoted to Field Marshal.

And Mountbatten is a real uncle of Philips.

He is also a descendant of Queen Victoria, and Eliza is a cousin.

Last year, he was appointed Chief of the National Defence Staff and Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff, plus Philips held the title of Marshal of the Navy, Army and Air Force.

It can be said that everything Margaret did back then was really messing around.

When Eliza returned to London from her visit, Margaret knew she had no chance.

But no matter how much she messed around, if she did something to Margaret, it would actually be more troublesome.

So when she learned that Margaret was in love with an Asian, Eliza was annoyed, but she didn't say anything, or even say anything against it.

In the final analysis, there must be sisterhood, after all, the father of the sisters was accidentally on the throne.

When I was a child, there was no competition, and the relationship must be good.

But when you grow up, it is impossible to face the throne without disputes.

Even two sisters from ordinary families will have all kinds of conflicts, let alone the royal family.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care what the sisters would say, with his understanding of Margaret, this girl was a typical love brain and face control.

And the more Eliza persuaded her, the more rebellious Margaret became.

She just felt that her fate was unfair and she was no worse than her sister, but the result was that all her honor and rights were taken away by her sister.

This will be repeated in the future of Eliza's children and grandchildren.

The most typical is that the second son and the second grandson have died in various ways, but they are just unwilling in their hearts.

When Philips sent Chu Qianqian away, after thinking about it, he still pulled him and whispered, "Stark, why did you suddenly decide to get married?" Eliza actually mentioned to me that she would find a way to get you married to Margaret. ”

Chu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and the first thought in his heart was nonsense.

But if you think about it, it doesn't seem impossible, after all, women are really emotional sometimes.

But Chu Xiangqian also knew that what the couple said in bed didn't count at all.

It's probably just a few words of complaint when Margaret can't do anything.

When turning the head and facing opposition from all sides, the kingship mentality will prevail again.

So Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "I believe that Your Majesty cares about and loves Margaret very much, but she is the head of a country first, and then her sister." ”

Others don't understand this, but Philips understands it as soon as you hear it.

Because this happened to him, the royal husband, too.

Before Eliza ascended the throne, Philips was excited and asked Eliza for a lot of rights.

But in turn, Eliza also took the opportunity to ask her husband to kneel down and swear allegiance to herself at the enthronement ceremony.

This was a very big blow to Philips, and at that time he was only a duke, not a prince.

Then he started a life of drinking and drinking, but Philips is a capable scumbag, and Eliza, who can always coax him with rhetoric, forgives him.

Even after the absurd act was exposed, Eliza was forced to make him the Prince of Wales.

Speaking of which, it seems that Eliza is also a love brain. When he was only 13 years old, he fell in love with Philips, who was already an adult at the time, but he was down.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian could see so thoroughly, Philips sighed with emotion and patted Chu Xiangqian's shoulder, "I will send you a wedding gift." ”

"Thank you", Chu turned forward and got into the car.

Philips thought about it, actually got into the car and sat next to him, and asked in a low voice, "Stark, I was entrusted by someone to buy you a white tiger." ”

Chu Xiangqian guessed as soon as he heard that buying a white tiger by himself was just the beginning.

And this guy also wants to take the opportunity to make some extra money, after all, the cost of raising a lover is not low.

The money he received from the royal appropriation was not enough for him to spend all his time outside.

Chu Xiangqian nodded and agreed, and discussed whether to sell it to Philips at a price of 300,000 pounds each.

Then he asked with a smile, "I heard that the porcelain supplies in England are basically imported from Mason in Germany, SΓ¨vres in France, Royal Vienna in Austria, and Capodimonti in Italy?" ”

Philips was stunned for a moment, and then heard Chu Xiangqian say, "I can get a lot of cheap porcelain from the Celestial Empire, but the quality is not inferior to these European porcelains.

If you sell it in England, I believe you can make at least a few hundred thousand pounds a year, if not more.

Moreover, this business does not involve any secrets, and the appearance of cheap daily necessities in the market is also beneficial to ordinary people.

Even if someone finds out, you can say that you are working for the benefit of your people.

As for the porcelain dealers in Europe, they are not English anyway and they don't give you a dime. ”

Philips became interested after listening to it.

For Chu Xiangqian, in the sixties and seventies, the export porcelain exported by the Celestial Empire was tens of millions of pieces.

Rather than letting European and Hong Kong Island businessmen make the difference, it is better to take the initiative to join in and get a piece of the pie.

Even Europe, more than 100 years ago, began to copy the most popular blue and white porcelain of the time.

But no matter how well it is copied, there will still be differences in clay and painting work.

The fact that foreign monks are good at reciting scriptures is also useful in Europe and the United States.

A 35 yuan Celestial Empire blue and white coin has arrived in Europe, and it can really be sold for 50 pounds.

As for the dishes for eating, it is not difficult to make a profit of 30%.

Just like Chu Xiangqian, when he traveled to Thailand in his previous life, the exchange rate difference of five to one really made people feel cheap when they bought things.

"During my time in the United States, you asked people to investigate the price of porcelain imported from England. Send me a copy when the time comes, and I'll go to the Celestial Empire to place an order.

In short, we must both have made money on this matter. If someone is against it, then pick a few people with a lot of energy and pull them in. ”

Philips thought about it and nodded, the import of porcelain does not involve the embargo of the Mi Guokee.

Besides, the Mi Guoyan himself is doing business with the red polar bear.

For the English, the Red Polar Bear and the East Germany were the biggest rivals.

The Celestial Empire, far to the east, is still a potential collaborator to a certain extent, working together to restrain the red polar bear.

Not to mention that Hong Kong Island itself is extremely dependent on various agricultural products of the Celestial Empire, and even the draft depends on the Celestial Empire.

Last year, trade imports with the Celestial Empire reached 1.148 billion Hong Kong dollars.

If the rice guys were in charge of everything, Hong Kong Island wouldn't want to do business with the Celestial Empire.

The real embargo is all about some critical materials and technologies, ordinary daily necessities can't be managed at all, and the British will not listen to the people of the United States in terms of people's livelihood.

Thinking of this, Philips nodded, "No problem, I'll have someone do this investigation tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he said with some hesitation, "The first batch of porcelain, how much do you think the total amount of imports is appropriate?" ”

Chu Xiangqian understood as soon as he heard that this guy didn't have much private money.

"I'll order Β£100,000 first, and I don't have any fine porcelain that costs at least a few dozen pounds. That's about two or three thousand.

When the time arrives in London, the company under your name buys it and tries it out.

It is easy to sell, and we place orders and it is not easy to sell, so we turn to the middle and low end.

However, the price of low-end porcelain is cheap, but the profit is very small, and it may be a profit of two or three hundred thousand pounds a year. ”

"It's already a lot", Philips has not seen a lot of money, but the real wealth in his hands may only be a few million pounds.

Just like his son in the future, he has no money, and his assets are only twenty or thirty million US dollars.

But after taking the position, it immediately skyrocketed to billions. And this is the result of handing over most of the wealth to the names of sons, grandsons, and granddaughters in advance.

In order to avoid paying inheritance tax, and at the same time, to avoid children and grandchildren who have no money to pay inheritance tax in the future, and finally cannot even inherit their own wealth.

The richest man surnamed Wang has saved $40 billion in Switzerland, but Switzerland said that if you want to inherit the inheritance, you have no problem paying $30 billion in inheritance tax first.

So for Philips, a single sale can earn one-tenth of all its wealth, which is indeed very profitable.

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, it seems that no matter what country, money can always solve most of the problems.

"The sales of porcelain are not as regular, and we can also import tea, silk products, and glass products from the Celestial Empire, which seem to be unimportant, but are in great demand.

In short, everything is legal and compliant, but in fact, it makes a lot of money. ”

Philips smiled and nodded, "When the business is done, I'll take you to the club to have a good time." ”

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "It's better to keep a low profile in this matter, make money, there is no need to do it, everyone knows it." It's right to make a fortune in a low-key way. ”

Philips was even more relieved now, and at the same time sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder this kid can become a rich man at a young age.

Then I thought that Chu Xiangqian was on Hong Kong Island, and he spent 40 million Hong Kong dollars just to invest in a medium-sized wharf.

Converted to pounds, it is also 2.5 million.

The two sat in the car and muttered for a long time, and Eliza, who had broken up with Margaret again, curiously walked to the balcony on the second floor to look down.

Seeing that the car that sent Chu Xiangqian hadn't left yet, and there were still five or six people guarding the car, he hurriedly asked below, "What's wrong?" ”

When Philips heard this, he poked his head out of the car window, "Honey, I'll talk to Stark about some business matters, you go to sleep first." ”

Eliza said yes, but where did she sleep.

When it was half past eleven o'clock in the evening, I looked outside again and made sure that the two were still talking.

Shaking his head helplessly, he simply asked the housekeeper to invite Chu Xiangqian to rest in the manor for one night, and invited him and Philips to the small living room by the way.

Chu Xiangqian waved his hand, "I have to go back to Garden Street to pack my things, and I have to write an acquisition plan tomorrow, so as not to fly to Los Angeles and not be prepared enough, which will affect the negotiation." ”

Philips could only put aside the idea of continuing to talk for the time being.

Chu Xiangqian thought very clearly, if he could avoid contact with secrets, he should try to avoid it.

And living in the manor seems to make the outside world more convinced that he has an excellent relationship with the royal family, but it will also attract more attention and surveillance.

And his first priority now is to investigate the impeachment of submarines by England, as long as there are, there is no need to cause more trouble just because of staying for one night.

Back on Garden Street, it was already 1 o'clock in the evening.

When Chu Xiangqian returned home, the old housekeeper Hawkins was still in the living room, sitting on the sofa and dozing off.

Complain to the old man, he should pay more attention to his body.

The old man promised, but in fact, there was a high probability that he would not change, after all, Chu Xiangqian rarely lived on Garden Street.

If you don't take advantage of the fact that the owner is at home, you may be fired at some point.

Chu Xiangqian got into bed, but his mind was on the.

Fortunately, England is really not big, and it only takes a few dozen minutes to fly from London to Armstrong Shipyard.

The fly to the place where it is easy to find the target that is in the dock.

In its previous life, the submarine was put into water in late October, equipped with an impeachment reactor in '62, and commissioned in '63.

Chu Qianqian looked through the's line of sight, and it was easy to draw the shell completely according to the appearance of the submarine.

And because it was still in the dockyard, an extremely secret place, not only was the submarine hatch not closed, but the torpedo port was also open.

The easily slipped through the torpedo and into the submarine.

While it was still late at night, Chu Xiangqian kept drawing everything he saw with both hands.

The torpedo compartment, power compartment, command and driving compartment, living compartment and other areas were all drawn by Chu Xiangqian overnight.

Even the layout and various instruments and equipment are drawn on paper.

In the end, there was really nothing left to draw, so I just let the fly out and began to paint the equipment in the shipyard.

Unconsciously, the sky slowly brightened, and Chu Xiangqian ordered the to fly back to London.

I put hundreds of drawings into categories and put them in the carry-on storage compartment.

Only then did I enter the novice village, lay in the fountain and soak for more than ten minutes, and then returned to the bedroom bed and closed my eyes to sleep.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, Margaret hurried back and saw that Chu Qianqian was sleeping very peacefully.

While I was relieved, I was a little embarrassed.

Although Chu Xiangqian would get married, he already knew about it when he was in Rome.

And said that it was arranged by the family, but this bastard actually said it directly in front of Eliza and Philips, but he didn't expect it anyway.

had the intention to end this relationship, but for seven or eight days in Rome, he never let go of him.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he took off his clothes, and sat on Chu Xiangqian when he got into bed.

And smelling the smell of this guy, and then looking at the 8-pack abs and handsome face, it always makes Margaret obsessed.

After a while, there was a fierce running sound in the bedroom, but unfortunately, no matter how strong Margaret's desire to win was, she was finally cleaned up by Chu Xiangqian.

At noon, Margaret, who had slept for more than 3 hours, woke up comfortably, subconsciously stuck to Chu Xiangqian's arms, and rubbed his neck with her pretty face.

It's no different from a kitten.

After that, neither of the two mentioned Chu Xiangqian's marriage, but after arriving in Los Angeles, Margaret changed her previous style of distressing Chu Xiangqian that it was not easy to make money.

The first thing I did after staying in the hotel was to take him shopping.
