517 Picking up gold in the garbage
Twenty hours later, the plane landed at Heathrow Airport smoothly, and Chu Xiangqian left little Frank the phone number of the ranch in the Romford area outside London.
Then he shook hands with little Frank and turned around and got off the plane with a handbag.
Originally, Chu Xiangqian planned to steal all the money and fake checks from this kid, which could be regarded as punishment for his own ideas, but the two chatted along the way, and accidentally learned from little Frank's mouth that this kid also had an aunt in France.
He also said that if he was free, he would go to his aunt's house to find him, and left an address.
Chu Xiangqian knew in an instant that the uncle in London that this kid said was fake, and it was also fake to go to France to find his aunt.
The real purpose was to find out about the machine purchased by a small printing house in France, which a few years ago was the printer for many bank checkbooks in Europe.
Although the current cheque books in Europe are new, the old ones are still in circulation.
As long as the ink is done, the cheques printed by the machines of this small printing shop are checks that even the banks themselves cannot see.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a piece of cash.
It is only when the bank that received the check and the issuing bank on the fake check that it is found out that they have received the fake check.
Once these fake checks need to be flown to the United States for reconciliation, it will take two or three months to say the least.
During this period, cashing out hundreds of thousands of dollars is really the same as playing.
Once Frank became a wholesaler himself, it was not difficult to make millions in a year and a half.
However, Chu Xiangqian felt a little pity that little Frank had been staring at the check.
If it is exchanged for US dollars, the destructive power of this kid on European and American finance will definitely become ten or a hundred times greater.
But fake checks and counterfeit banknotes will not last long, and to be honest, once this kind of business grows, it is not far from death.
And with Chu Xiangqian's current rate of making money, he really can't look at millions a year.
And in the more than 20 hours of the plane, in several conversations with little Frank, I not only saw that this kid had a flexible mind, but also a very good mouth.
The most important thing is that this kid's handsome face will make people involuntarily feel that he is trustworthy.
This reminded Chu Xiangqian of the movie called The Wolf of Wall Street that Xiao Li Zi had played.
Playing finance is actually the same as a scammer, but one is legal and the other is not.
Compared to junk stocks, or junk bonds, the prospect of fake checks is nothing to mention.
But if Chu Xiangqian himself founded a 'low-value bond' contracting and sales company on Wall Street, the Chinese descent alone would make it difficult for him to move forward on Wall Street.
Even if the company's business grows a little bit, it will become a thorn in the side of Wall Street investment banks.
The Angsars and Jews would never want to see a Chinese man calling for rain on Wall Street.
On the contrary, little Frank, a descendant of Ansa whose father was a native of the country and whose mother was a Frenchman, would not have encountered discrimination and hostility in this regard.
But like Wall Street bankers snatching customers and money, there is no less competition than malice.
In the real world, the father of Wall Street's junk stocks, the end result is not very good.
Not only was he found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison, but he was also fined a full $1.1 billion.
Fortunately, this guy is quite sober, and during the investigation, he did not pull the financiers and shareholders behind him into the water together.
After the shareholders made a lot of money and all of them got out safely, the father of junk stocks only stayed in prison for less than two years before he got out.
said that no one fished him, and the fool didn't believe it.
And because of his strict mouth, someone actually invested in him, and it only took ten years to make a comeback here.
It can be said that many of the plots of The Wolf of Wall Street are based on real events.
Chu Xiangqian knew that selling junk bonds could earn tens of millions of dollars a year, and the company's market value once exceeded billions, so it was impossible to have no idea.
But if he is in the foreground, he will face a greater risk, and at the same time, the hostility of the white pigs towards him will be more fierce.
And it's not difficult to exonerate little Frank.
Only then did Chu Xiangqian tell him his ranch address and phone number.
——
When I got off the plane, I saw a Rolls-Royce parked not far from the tarmac, and there were two cars in front and behind.
Hawkins Butler saw Chu Qian and hurriedly stepped forward to take the suitcase in his hand.
Chu pulled the car door forward, and saw Margaret looking at him with an excited expression.
Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, and after getting into the car, he raised the partition in the middle of the car, and when Margaret saw this, she put her arms around Chu Xiangqian's neck and kissed it.
Fortunately, the two of them are not so bad, but they are just talking about me and me, and they don't come nonsense in the car.
However, the convoy entered the villa on Kensington Garden Street and greeted Valentina's housekeeper, and Chu Xiangqian was led upstairs by Margaret.
Hawkins and Valentina smiled and shook their heads, secretly saying that their boss was really powerful, and he could make Margaret so obsessed with him.
Not long after, there were faint bursts of singing and opera in the villa, and a few maids were honestly inattentive when they were doing things.
And this voice actually ended intermittently for more than an hour, and when they ate dinner in the evening, the maids looked at Chu Xiangqian's eyes with fog.
The next day, in Margaret's manor outside London, Nata, the chick, couldn't walk when she saw Chu Xiangqian.
It's a pity that Philips will come over in the morning, and Chu Xiangqian can only find an opportunity to hug Nata Xiang for a few minutes.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Philips convoy arrived on time.
Chu Xiangqian and Margaret greeted Margaret outside the main building of the manor, and as soon as Philips got out of the car, he took the initiative to hug Margaret with a smile on his face.
Then he wanted to hug Chu Xiangqian, but he refused directly.
Philips is not angry, Chu Xiangqian is now his gold master.
After the 360,000 tons of iron ore were shipped back to London, it could earn £50,000 to say the least.
If it is really the same as Chu Xiangqian said, there will be a batch of ore in two or three months, and you can earn two or three hundred thousand pounds in a year.
And Downing Street's annual special fund for the royal family is only 5 million pounds.
distributed to so many people in the royal family, even if he is a royal husband, it is only 200,000.
In other words, relying on Chu Xiangqian, the money in Philips' hands has doubled all of a sudden, and his attitude towards Chu Xiangqian will naturally be much better.
By the way, the Philips couple also got a lot closer to Margaret.
He even invited Chu Xiangqian to a Christmas dinner hosted by the royal family.
Chu Xiangqian shook his head directly, if he wanted to know the magnates of England, just go through Philips.
Even Norton is fine.
On the contrary, after contacting those nobles who can't bring benefits to themselves, the rest is basically all trouble.
And Philips actually didn't want Chu Xiangqian to appear in front of the public, so he didn't have to guess, there must be people at the dinner party who would be dissatisfied when they saw Chu Xiangqian.
Second, no matter how powerful Chu Qianqian is, there will definitely not be many benefits leaking out of his hands.
One more person in contact with him is equivalent to one more person to share the benefits.
Inviting Chu Xiangqian to the Christmas dinner was just out of politeness and respect.
After lunch, when Chu Xiangqian was walking with Philips, he unconsciously walked to the stable of the manor.
Seeing the champion knight being led in training, Philips immediately remembered what Elizabeth had said before coming to inspect the rice racecourse.
Chu Xiangqian was embarrassed after hearing this, he really forgot about it.
Fortunately, I have more contact with the cowboys at Alisa Ranch and Tucker Ranch, and I still know a lot about raising horses.
Moreover, around Solwan Town, there are also many small and medium-sized ranches that specialize in raising horses, and Chu Xiangqian has more or less heard about many horse farms.
Chu flickered forward, and said that the secrecy of the Mi Guo Racecourse is very high, and there is no access to secrets for the time being.
Philips thought about it, if the secret channel was replaced by himself, it should also be kept secret from the outside world.
After all, the benefits involved in horse racing are not small, and the emergence of a champion horse is not to say anything is millions, tens of millions of dollars.
Even if she or Elizabeth personally went to the United States and visited those famous horse farms.
People are likely to be very enthusiastic in reception, but in terms of management, horse breeding, and horse training, they will only say it very simply.
To put it bluntly, when it comes to money, it doesn't matter if you're president or king, it's all on the sidelines.
Philips sighed helplessly, and then turned the conversation to the white tiger.
Chu Xiangqian naturally won't have money to make, and a white tiger costs 300,000 pounds, and a black tiger costs even more, a million pounds.
It's a pity that the black tiger has never appeared, but the white tiger refreshed a few days ago in the novice village and has been locked in an iron cage on the island in the middle of the river.
"The white tiger has found one, but the black tiger is so rare. My people searched all over Southeast Asia, and even ventured into Siberia, not to mention finding clues, and there were no rumors that anyone had seen the Black Tiger. ”
Philips is not greedy, although a white tiger can't make a direct profit from it, but helping to find a white tiger for a zoo outside London can be used to exchange benefits.
It works well and is more cost-effective than earning tens of thousands of pounds in intermediate fees.
It was agreed that the white tiger would be transported to London before Christmas, and the conversation quickly turned to the champion knight.
This horse was indeed better than all thoroughbreds in this era, winning the first Triple Crown in England in May, and then becoming the first Triple Crown winner in England's history.
It can be said that there is no star in England who has attracted more attention than it.
At the time of the third crown, at least 10 million or 20 million people in England watched the champion knight be crowned the king of thoroughbreds on the racecourse, or in front of the television or radio.
In the past two months, he has participated in two first-class competitions, and the championship prize money alone has accumulated more than 200,000 pounds.
And every time a Tier 1 race wins, the breeding fee for this horse will increase by one or two percent.
Margaret relied on the prize money and breeding fee of the champion knight, and lived more luxuriously than ninety percent of the noble ladies and noble ladies.
Even her sister, don't look at her status so high, but in fact, the money she uses on herself can't even compare to some counts and duchesses.
Even because of the money appropriated, it became increasingly difficult to support the expenses of the royal family members, and the salaries of employees who served the royal family, Elizabeth's life was more economical than expected.
Of course, Elizabeth Knight is very rich, otherwise she would not be able to support her dream of horse racing, keeping animals in captivity and other expenses.
But the royal family's own money, fools subsidize the expenses of the royal family.
Naturally, it can only maintain a bright surface.
At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after sending off Philips, Chu Xiangqian planned to take a shotgun and shoot some quails in the woods not far from the manor to eat at night.
But I didn't want to be blocked in the gun room by Nata before I changed my hunting outfit.
Half an hour later, Chu Xiangqian helplessly hugged Nata, who was over-consuming her physical strength because of fitness.
After Nata eased up, she was also a little shy and embarrassed to hug Chu Xiangqian and whispered, "My dear, why don't I get a few of the most beautiful maids in the manor?" ”
Chu Xiangqian was moved after hearing this, but after calming down, he shook his head again.
Although it has long been common for a man to hook up with a maid in England, there are even many cases of maids giving birth to illegitimate children.
But Chu Xiangqian was still worried that he would cause great trouble in the future.
Besides, although Margaret was a little miserable last night, this chick's resilience is really good.
is much stronger than Xiao Lan'er, Hong Kong Sheng and Fei Fei.
Sure enough, when he went to bed at night, before Chu Xiangqian could attack her, Margaret herself flattered him.
——
Before you know it, it's Christmas soon.
Margaret went to Buckingham Palace to attend a party during the day, but at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, she said goodbye to her mother and sister, in order to go back to the manor to accompany Chu Qianqian for Christmas.
In the past few days, Chu Xiangqian drove a truck to Port Margate to transport the white tiger back to the manor outside London.
got 300,000 pounds from Philips, and then watched Philips, who was a little excited, take people to transport the white tiger away.
Also on the Thames River, near the port warehouse area of Grace, 1,250 sheep and 450 cattle were released from the novice village and transported back to Margaret Manor, which belonged to Chu Xiangqian's own pasture.
As for the $4 million from the sale of 360,000 tons of iron ore, Philips is not so quick for the time being, finding a suitable large ranch to offset the $4 million.
Chu Xiangqian guessed that Philips couldn't find a suitable ranch, but that he hadn't negotiated a price with those nobles who were interested in selling their castles, or manors and ranches.
Speaking of the manor, Chu Xiangqian thought of the American drama Downton Abbey that he had watched in his previous life.
To be honest, Highclell Castle at Downton Abbey was actually designed to be uninhabitable.
Not only are the rooms small, but the windows are also small because of the defense.
What's more troublesome is that the renovation space of the bathroom and washroom is very small.
It is no wonder that many nobles are now reluctant to live in their own castles.
But the estate covers 5,000 acres, which is not very large in England, but Hampshire is not far from London, and it is about three or four hours by car.
The potential for future appreciation is enormous.
And in the future, investing in the American drama Downton Abbey, just by charging tickets every year, it should be able to maintain the operation of the entire manor and ranch.
The 5,000-acre pasture can also raise thousands of cattle and sheep.
Coupled with the Alisa Ranch in Solvan, Los Angeles, the profits brought by the two large ranches to themselves every year should be millions of dollars.
And since the master and the master will temporarily live in Alisa Ranch in the future, Chu Xiangqian doesn't want Margaret to go over there.
So buying a big ranch in England not only distracts her, but also compensates her.
