Once Chu Xiangqian's sweaty horse was in his hands, the price really soared to the starting price of 150,000 pounds each.

Even if Philips is a prince, he doesn't have so much spare money in his hands, so he buys one male, two females and three sweaty horses, and slowly breeds more foals by himself.

At most, you can buy a horse to test the water, and if you are lucky, you may be able to buy a horse as good as Wu Qi.

Of course, the nobles are not stupid, and there is no one in ten thousand who knows about this kind of luck.

But the horse race itself is a ninety-nine percent horse owner, throwing money into the water, even if there is no hope of winning the championship, he still continues to invest without regrets.

Of course, some horses are really ornamental and deceptive, and even the best Soma players will end up eye-catching.

But the more unexpected and serendipitous it is, the more attention it will receive for horse racing.

Those who have money will continue to invest, hoping that their horses will win one or two championships one day.

However, some of the powerful people present did not have money in their hands, but they had power in their hands.

At this time, although the rights of the infant country to the parliament were also restricted, it was not a retirement home decades later.

And it has also been hereditary, that is, except for the members of the Upper House of the Priesthood, so the members are all nobles.

Coupled with the fact that the aristocracy can give up their nobility and participate in elections to enter the House of Commons, it can be said that the influence of the nobility in the infant country, although it has been declining, has never really lost all rights.

Ge Bai and these guys are all officials on Hong Kong Island, not to mention Mountbatten, any nobleman with a title of not lower than the hospital can influence the future of these people.

Fortunately, in a normal society, it is taboo to rob openly, but it does not prevent the nobles who attended the banquet tonight from using their power to lure Ge Bai and the other 9 people.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about Ge Bai and the powerful people trading for money, anyway, after Wu Qi ran out of results, the price of sweat and blood horses also increased, and he was a seller who was worthy of them buyers.

No, it's not just about them now, it's about investing in the past, and getting a return that far exceeds expectations.

In the future, whenever he looks at any piece of land or industry on Hong Kong Island, not only Ge Bai will help him get the documents as soon as possible, but maybe the powerful people in London will also want to do him a favor, and then get a reward or two of sweaty horses.

No, even Elizabeth took the initiative to come to Chu Xiangqian and kept mentioning Wu Qi and the champion knight.

Chu Xiangqian naturally understood Elizabeth's thoughts.

After chatting for a while, they promised to give Elizabeth's horse farm a chance to breed for free when they finished the third race in September and started breeding.

Le's Elizabeth almost wanted to hug Chu Xiangqian, but fortunately, Elizabeth's heart still had the upper hand with reason, but she kept chatting with Chu for at least half an hour with a smile on her face.

The guests present slowly became envious and cautious when they saw Chu's previous gaze.

Margaret, on the other hand, pouted, muttering in her heart that her sister was shameless and used power to imply that her man compromised.

Fortunately, this woman was really surrendered by Chu Qianqian now, and she didn't expose Elizabeth's mind in front of everyone.

But it's right to think about it, Chu Xiangqian is not only handsome, but also has the ability to do it in a thousand ways.

Coupled with the willingness to spend money on Margaret and give her a piece of jewelry from time to time, it is normal for Margaret to be deeply involved.

After Elizabeth got the promise she wanted, she was satisfied and took Margaret to chat with other nobles and nobles, but Philips used iron ore as an excuse to continue to stay by Chu Xiangqian's side.

At first, Chu Xiangqian really thought that this guy wanted to book iron ore for the next few months, but he didn't expect that when Philips opened his mouth, he actually said Taylor.

Chu Xiangqian took a deep breath and immediately knew that Philips was fascinated by Taylor.

Secretly said that this guy is worthy of being a scumbag with seventy or eighty lovers rumored to be in the outside world.

If Philips had hooked up with Taylor by himself, Chu Xiangqian would not have said anything.

But let yourself be a bridge, and if Elizabeth knows about it in the future, she will definitely hate herself.

Hurriedly persuaded Philips and said, "I advise you to dispel this idea, that woman is not one of those noble ladies in England."

Playing friendly matches, I don't dwell on them afterwards.

But if you touch Taylor, I promise that the newspapers of the Magnesium Country will receive all kinds of details of her relationship with you from time to time.

Even if you don't seem to have enough energy because of fatigue and don't do well in bed, it will become news material for Taylor to hype up when his fame falls in the future.

And this woman is so greedy, you want to touch her, you can't get into her bed without ten or two hundred thousand dollars. ”

Philips was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that he would talk to Taylor about his acting skills and ball skills, and he still needed to pay?

With a suspicious look on his face, Chu Xiangqian shrugged his shoulders angrily, "As far as I know, among the people present today, there are at least 3 people, and it took more than ten or two hundred thousand to travel with Taylor for a week. ”

In the eyes of Asians, this kind of woman is a bus that cannot be avoided.

But the thinking of Europeans and Americans is indeed different from Chu Xiangqian, after listening to it, Philips's eyes lit up, and he looked at Taylor, who was surrounded by a group of men, and said with a smile.

"It's all the more attractive to Ms. Taylor."

Chu Xiangqian almost scolded after hearing this, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that the aristocratic circle is indeed very flowery.

And the more popular the courtesans, the more attractive they are in the eyes of some nobles, and to put it bluntly, they don't really care how many men these courtesans have.

A hundred or two hundred years ago, whether in France, England, Rome, Germany, and Tsarist aristocratic circles, if their daughter-in-law was not popular, it would be a shame for them.

Philips pulled Chu Qian, and whispered with a bit of pleading in his tone, "Stark, for the sake of me helping you run two iron ore transactions, with a total price of more than 10 million US dollars, you have to help me in this matter." ”

Chu Xiangqian was afraid of Elizabeth, so naturally he would not be stupid to help Philips introduce Taylor now.

But if you refuse, you offend this guy again.

After thinking about it, he said, "In a few days, Taylor's Roman Holiday will be released, and then you will come to the London premiere, and the movie will be about an hour and a half during the movie."

At that time, whether you can kiss Fangze depends on your own ability. ”

Philips was overjoyed, in his opinion, Chu Xiangqian said so, then he would definitely make it clear to Taylor in advance.

Busy smiled and said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will not only go to the premiere by myself, but also bring a few big nobles to go with me." Make sure your movie will be on the front page in the next day's coverage. ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, gave a thumbs up to Philips, and began to think seriously about how to convince Taylor because this guy took the initiative to help promote.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian will definitely not come forward in this matter, and after thinking about it, maybe her economic person will be the best candidate.

And this woman is snobbish enough, as long as she gives money or jewelry, let alone accompany Philips, maybe she can accompany Philips to a multi-person party.

Besides, in order for Hollywood actresses to become famous, some sacrifices are common for them.

Otherwise, the 'red sofa' would not be so popular in the circle of Hollywood paper people.

To put it bluntly, the vast majority of paper people who like to play on the red sofa pay attention to your love and my willingness.

Giving you a role, what you give, is actually a deal.

And with the hypocrisy of saying that they can't see the aristocracy clearly, but expecting to be a part of it in their hearts, Taylor has a relationship with England, which will also help her development in Hollywood in the future.

It's just that what Chu didn't expect before was that he just vaguely mentioned it to Taylor, and the woman agreed with a smile on her face.

Then she didn't have to wait for the Roman holiday to be released in London, and she and Philips had already chatted.

And Philips just saw that Chu had said a few words to Taylor before, and the woman took the initiative to talk, and immediately mistakenly thought that Chu had helped him match.

secretly said in his heart that Chu was really a reliable person before.

Fortunately, today was not the right opportunity, and after the dinner, Philips did not rush out to find Taylor.

But it seems that the two will inevitably have a story in the future.

Chu Xiangqian and Margaret got in the car and returned to the villa on Kensington Garden Street, and as soon as they entered the door, Margaret began to complain that her sister always wanted to take advantage of her and Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian didn't say anything about this, picked up Margaret and walked upstairs to the bedroom.

The most useful way to deal with a messy woman is to make her have no mind to think nonsense.

After a fight, Margaret quickly fell asleep in a daze, while Chu Xiangqian quietly got up and stood on the balcony outside the bedroom, smoking a cigar while thinking about who was secretly targeting Wu Qi today.

In other words, this person may not like Lindsay, but it is also possible that he is aimed at Chu Xiangqian.

If this matter is not investigated, Chu Xiangqian will always have a thorn in his heart, and he will always feel unsteady.

After thinking about it, I still called Norton.

Although this kid is still young, because of his maternal grandfather Mountbatten's relationship, he knows a lot of big people.

Coupled with the noble children of the same circle, you may be able to hear some useful news from the mouth of a gentleman.

Sure enough, Norton did not disappoint Chu Xiangqian, and at 8 o'clock in the morning the next day, he called and said that it was some nobles of the Templar Order who bought the No. 6 horse to win the championship.

To put it bluntly, these members of the Knights just can't get used to seeing Lindsay as a woman, and they are constantly showing off in speed races.

I am even more worried that if Wu Hu wins the championship again, it will affect the interests of most of the horse farms and horse owners in England.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it a little and understood that as the origin of thoroughbred horses, the number of people in England who relied on horse racing and horse breeding for food was not one million, but three or five hundred thousand.

The previous champion knight was a thoroughbred, but his birthplace was not England.

Many potential overseas buyers have begun to pay more attention to the thoroughbred market outside of England.

This made the horse breeding industry in England, which was already in decline, even more difficult.

Even Elizabeth's horse farm is facing the dilemma that both the management system and the breeding technology are completely inferior to the horse breeding industry in the magnesium country.

Otherwise, why hasn't there been a single Triple Crown horse for more than ten years?

The first recorded treble was won in 1955 by a female and a male from 1935.

Many buyers simply excluded male thoroughbreds from England from the purchase list.

If he wins again, it will make it seem that England's thoroughbred horses are waste.

After Chu Xiangqian knew who his opponent was, he could only give up the idea of revenge.

Historically, the Knights Templar were destroyed by the French and the Holy See in the mid-14th century.

However, some Templars fled to England to escape their pursuit, and slowly gained a foothold in England.

By now, at least one-fifth of the nobility in England had either joined or had ties to the organization.

Even Philips is a member of the Knights.

After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian quickly thought that if he wanted to deal with the enemy, he didn't necessarily need to do it himself.

Sometimes money, or something that represents wealth, is also a powerful weapon against the enemy.

Soon, Mountbatten was invited through Norton, and then Mountbatten and Philips invited the Duke of Devon Hill to the ranch in the suburbs.

The Devon Hill family has been a super-large landowner in the south of England for generations.

Chu Xiangqian bought Downton Abbey, and Margaret had found Devon Hill of this generation to be a family member before.

Only then did he successfully buy Downton Abbey and the 5,000 acres of ranch attached to the estate for $5.6 million.

That's 30 percent more expensive per acre than the 10,000-acre Alisa Ranch in Solvan Township, Los Angeles.

But considering the prices in England, they are already much higher than those in the magnesium country.

Coupled with the history of the manor for hundreds of years, it is not comparable to the western pasture of the magnesium country, and the price is more acceptable.

Since he had dealings with the Devon Hill family, Chu Xiangqian naturally wouldn't forget to pull him up.

After the guests arrived, Chu Xiangqian said very bluntly that he wanted to sell 50% of the shares he held in Wuqi.

Philips, Mountbatten, and Devon Hill glanced at each other, and quickly guessed that Chu Xiangqian was transferring the contradiction to the three of them, the big nobles in the aristocratic pyramid.

It's a pity that Chu Xiangqian wants more than just money and transfer contradictions.

Mountbatten saw Devon Hill nodding slightly to himself, then looked at Philips and saw that he also nodded.

Only then did he smile and ask Chu Xiangqian, "Stark, what price are you going to sell?" ”

"There are five days left until the second round of the Treble, and if Wu Hu wins again, I think the horse is worth more than £3 million, so it should be fine, right?"

Mountbatten nodded, and even said with a smile, "If Wu Hu also becomes a treble champion, I think 5 million pounds is worth it." ”

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "I can't wait that long, 1.5 million pounds to sell 50% of the ownership of Wu Hu to you, but you also have to promise me that as long as Wu Hu wins the second crown, he will start to help me deal with a few nobles."

And I only accept dollars. That's $6 million. ”

The three of them knew who Chu Xiangqian wanted to deal with, and Philips hesitated, after all, if his identity was to deal with the nobles, it would be tantamount to breaking his own basic plate.

But Mountbatten and Devon Hill agreed without hesitation.
