Chapter 1223: It's an old method, but it works

Philip pulled Li Changheng and first talked about the wedding. Seeing that Li Changheng should be in a good mood, he tentatively asked, "When you and Annie went on their honeymoon, have you made any arrangements for the company and business?"

Li Changheng didn't realize that Philip didn't really want to ask about the company at first, "Don't worry, only Citigroup is really my core industry, and other companies just occupy a seat on the board of directors.

And, you know, I've never paid much attention to running companies.

Citigroup has been taking over for 3 years, and if I can't grasp it anymore, I might as well be a director with peace of mind.

Or after having a child with Annie in the future, just stay at home with the child with peace of mind. "

After speaking, Li Changheng saw that Philip was just smiling, instead of showing a surprised expression because he mentioned the child, and he immediately understood.

What the old man wanted to ask was not this at all, thinking that Barney, Trench and Catalia should now be more convenient to transport the treasures under Trinity Church.

Li Changheng couldn't help thinking of wooing certain forces in England and suppressing the other faction with him.

This method is very old-fashioned, and even people who know themselves, after so many years, should have known that he likes to use this method.

But in the face of interests, this trick is really very useful.

"Do you know the Knights Templar?"

Philip's pupils shrank, he knew that Li Changheng would not say this for no reason.

Saying it again at this moment means that Li Changheng must have discovered some great secret.

But Li Changheng saw that Philip didn't answer, so he didn't speak at all.

Philip immediately scolded "little fox" in his heart.

After thinking about it, I would just say it bluntly, so as not to misunderstand, or after Li Changheng learned some secrets, he went to investigate by himself and caused some unnecessary troubles.

"I am one of them, and the status is the highest level, so I can make decisions on many things."

The corner of Li Changheng's mouth twitched. It must have been almost a thousand years since the establishment of the Knights Templar.

During this period, there have been glorious moments and darkest moments, and they were even almost killed by the Church of the French Union.

Later, he was forced to leave America, which was still a barren land at that time.

Now listening to Philip say that he is the highest rank of the Knights, it means that the Knights Templar has split.

In other words, the group of people who went to America took the initiative to help the United States to become independent for the sake of power.

This is not only a good thing for Li Changheng, but also easier to divide and win over.

"Then you must know Solomon's Treasure."

"God", although Philip had guessed many possibilities, he never expected that it would be the treasure that England lost back then.

Thinking about the records in the materials, it was the treasure that escorted a whole treasure ship back then, and fled Europe all the way to the Americas.

England and France also sent many people to search secretly, but unfortunately, the final result was that both England and France were driven out of the American continent.

Hearing that Li Changheng said that he had found the treasure now, Philip was naturally excited, "Did you find a palm-sized God's Eye Medal?"

Li Changheng narrowed his eyes immediately, this stuff, just like the Tiger Talisman or the Jade Seal, represented a proof of power.

Then the first thought in his mind was to keep it in his own hands.

But think carefully about whether you have this thought.

Put it in your own hands, not to mention who to command, even if those people are members of the Knights Templar, they don't even know.

Moreover, these secret organizations have always been villains in various movies. After staying with such people for a long time, good people will become lunatics.

In addition, even if I join the Knights Templar, I don't know how many years it will take to gain power, so I might as well hand it over to Philip.

The status of the old man is more stable, which in disguise is equal to the help he provides for himself.

At the same time, Li Changheng is very clear that as long as Philip and others want to continue to make a lot of money, they will not easily become hostile to him.

Besides, as long as they are not indifferent, and Europeans and Americans who are accustomed to cooperation rather than hostility, they will not push themselves into a hostile position without talking or talking.

Now that he had made up his mind, Li Changheng couldn't help but teased, "Do you want anything else?"

Hearing this, Philip felt ecstatic. Although the so-called Knights Templar has reached the present, in fact, it has fallen into a period of perennial decline just like the aristocratic system.

After all, the strength of the members is declining, and the overall strength will inevitably decline accordingly. This cannot be stopped by manpower.

But since a secret organization can exist for thousands of years, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Not to mention the Knights Templar, which has been deeply rooted in England and the aristocracy.

Even if it only increases the influence on the nobles, it is a great thing for Philip.

Only when internal opinions can reach more consensus can we have the energy to deal with opponents outside the circle. Otherwise, in a situation of disunity, people will not be able to do other things just to deal with internal conflicts.

In Li Changheng's view, Europe and the United States are often just a combination of hills.

"If possible, I remember that in Solomon's treasure, there should be a sheepskin scroll in the library of Alexandria."

Li Changheng was taken aback, "Don't want gold coins, jewelry and artwork?"

Philip shook his head with a smile, "Henry, since some things are in your pocket, I believe no one can take them out again.

And, if I'm not mistaken, the 65-carat red diamond crown in Anne's hand should be found in Solomon's treasure, right? "

Li Changheng nodded without hesitation. Since he told Philip about the treasure, he not only explained the source of the red diamond, but also convinced Philip that the diamond came from the treasure.

Otherwise, no one has heard of it, or even recorded in history where the largest known red diamond in the world came from.

No matter how much Li Changheng denied it, no one would believe it.

Philip smiled and patted Li Changheng on the shoulder~lightnovelpub.net~My dear child, since you gave Anne the most precious diamonds, it means you gave me the best things.

Because if I had that diamond in my hand, I'd give it to Anne as a wedding present too. "

Li Changheng gave Philip a blank look, not believing that the old man would really do that.

Philip wasn't angry when he saw this, anyway, he just habitually poured some chicken soup for him, which would be the best.

If it doesn't work, there is no mistake, after all, Philip knows what kind of person Li Changheng is.

If it weren't for the true love for Anne, the royal family would have been impossible to get benefits from him unless they exchanged at equal value.

No, even counting how close they are to the present, the royal family only took advantage of it once or twice.

At other times, it seemed like an equal exchange, but after a few years, you will find that the real winner will always be Li Changheng.
