Chapter 1224: hereditary duke

Take the London Diamond Group as an example. The share that helped Li Changheng to obtain 5% has nearly tripled at this time.

And in return for helping him back then, the land near Hyde Park that year was £20 million, but now it has dropped to 19 million.

Even if you add the profits from gold in the past few years, Li Changheng has earned it no matter what.

Thinking of this, Philip finally made up his mind.

If there is a choice between the right and the gold owner, Philip, whose rights are restricted, will of course choose money.

In a society like England, money is power.

With a smile, he said to Li Changheng, "You and Annie have a peaceful wedding, and I and some people will help you with other things."

Li Changheng smiled and nodded. While he was despised in his heart, he also liked this model of you giving, and I will give the same return.

You don't have to worry that your people will betray you without saying a word, then it is the biggest victory for yourself who has mastered the future development trend.

Then he said Annie's wish, and at the same time, Li Changheng himself was also aroused by careful thoughts.

"I want to be a duke, and a hereditary duke."

Philip knew that Li Changheng would definitely ask for something in return, but what he didn't expect again was that he would make such a request.

Even after hearing it, Philip's mood was not embarrassed, not dissatisfied, but faintly happy.

Because in his opinion, as long as Li Changheng is more involved with England, the more he can't give up his career in England in the future.

However, the old man was also well aware of Li Changheng's greed, and although ten thousand people had agreed, there was an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Henry, you know how difficult it is. Not only do I need to convince Downing Street, but I also need the support of more than 90% of the aristocracy, and I even need to give the English people a reason enough to convince and recognize them.

Otherwise, even if I get Downing Street and the House of Lords done, the motion to appoint you as hereditary Duke of Selby will probably not pass because of too much public opposition. "

Li Changheng pouted, Philip knew him, and Li Changheng had also known his old husband over the years.

If it was really embarrassing, Philip would babble a lot, not just these few words.

Annie broke the news a long time ago that her own father was sometimes a talker, and he was still a talker who couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Therefore, although Philip would not be as rambunctious as he would like to treat Anne in business affairs, he would still reveal some habits in his tone and demeanor.

Seeing Li Changheng's expression of disbelief, Philip immediately realized that he had not lied to him.

With a sigh, he secretly said that Li Changheng was getting harder and harder to deal with.

But from the perspective of the old man, the more powerful Li Changheng is, the more secure Annie and their children will be.

"At least you really need to give me a reason enough to convince the people, after all, this is a duke, and a hereditary duke.

Otherwise, you will still be a hereditary earl, and at the same time I will give you the life-long duke of other titles, and then supplement you with hereditary titles of some small territories? "

Li Changheng did not directly reject this. Many great nobles in England had several hereditary titles on their heads.

The reason is that when a certain title is inherited from the father, the mother also has a hereditary title, which is eventually passed on to a certain heir.

The reason for Li Changheng's hesitation is that these titles allow the eldest son to inherit the largest title, and the second son and other children to inherit other titles.

Of course, normal nobles would definitely not do this, because this is equivalent to dispersing the family's rights, wealth, and influence.

Have to pay inheritance tax several times.

But for him, nothing was a problem.

Li Changheng has a way. After his child is born, he will prepare a project that will make him very rich, or be a shareholder in a certain company.

It's still easy for him to rely on the money from gifts that don't pay any tax every year.

As for the assets under his own name, because the core industries are all in the family fund, there is no need to consider paying taxes at all.

But thinking that he was only 26 years old, Li Changheng decided that it would be better to eat the biggest cake first.

Who knows how long the aristocratic system can last in a few decades.

Taking a step back, since the hereditary dukes can handle it, isn't it easier for hereditary barons and viscounts?

Of course, it is difficult to get this done, but there are still many opportunities.

Moreover, he originally planned to settle down for a year or two and temporarily shift his focus from the United States to outside the United States.

When a person makes a million, someone will follow you, but more people will want to follow you to make money.

After all, one million is just a small, small, even dusty cake relative to the entire market.

When it comes to making 10 million, 100 million, the only difference is that there will be more hungry wolves, and it will be more difficult to keep the wealth.

But it's not impossible.

But when you can earn tens or tens of billions of saved profits, even if you attract more than half of the people and stand on your side to make money, the result will definitely be war.

A war that is never-ending and will never stop until one side fails.

Therefore, Li Changheng's mentality has indeed changed a lot at this time. Since where the ceiling is, it is better to learn from someone to buy those infrastructure companies.

The annual income is stable, and the annual growth rate of assets is also stable.

However, since we want to bet on the prospects of industries such as water, electricity, and natural gas, at least the country must be stable and have certain development potential.

In addition, England will soon face privatization, Li Changheng will of course hit England's head.

When he controls most of England's water, electricity, gas, and even oil, he does nothing and is an invisible behind-the-scenes boss.

If you use charity for your own benefit, many things will be much easier.

Moreover, the size of England is just right. It will not be like the United States. It needs a huge amount of capital to occupy a 40-50% share of an industry.

He can also invest a lot of money in industries with low returns, giving the outside world an illusion. After marriage, his investment style is no longer aggressive, but begins to be conservative~lightnovelpub.net~ Once a person falls into a conservative period of thinking, The attack power will also start to decrease.

Stabilize for a year or two, and do not compete with other forces for the original interests.

Turn to target innovation industries.

People who create wealth are always more popular than people who grab food with everyone.

Zhang Tianzhi was instructed to use a secret channel to contact Lao Tu, and then Lao Tu would contact Barney.

Let them find out what Philip needs and then secretly ship it to London.

At 9:00 in the morning, when Zhang Tianzhi returned to him, just as he was about to report, he saw his own son Zhang Feng, dressed in a decent suit, listening to Li Changheng's orders with a serious and serious face.
