Chapter 302: Unknowingly change

Philip shook his head and said with a sigh, "I haven't received a salary in 17 years since I became the throne.

   And the royal family fund of 2.5 million pounds a year is not enough to keep the entire royal family running.

   But the economy of England has been declining in recent years. Last year, the government's fiscal deficit was as high as 800 million pounds.

   In only eight months of this year, the trade deficit has reached 108 million pounds.

   Compared with last year and the year before, the per capita annual income of the people has not only not increased, but has decreased by 41 pounds.

  Even once the deficit and trade deficit cannot be resolved, the pound will be bearish by other countries and passively devalued.

   In this case, I really don’t want to and can’t say to the public that the royal family can’t maintain the dignity it deserves.

   But if we don't want to do anything, we can only reduce the cost of the royal family members, and even move the family away from Buckingham Palace to live in a smaller castle. "

   "Reduce the cost?"

   Princess Margaret said anxiously, "Philip, Anthony and I are more than 8,000 a month, and the annual royal family pension of 100,000 pounds a year is not enough.

   If you shrink again, we can only stay at Kensington Palace all day, and then fire half of the entourage and staff. "

  The people at the scene, except for Li Changheng, suddenly became worried and melancholy.

   This is also why he told Philip before.

   Even if the U.S. people fall into an economic recession because of the Vietnam War, the decline in the pound sterling will definitely be faster than the decline in the U.S. dollar.

   The island nation’s 1990s was a lost decade, so England from the 1960s to the 1980s was a lost 30 years.

   completely interrupted the pride in the hearts of the English people and became the followers of the Americans.

   While Annie was worried about Philip, she thought in her heart that she had a quota of 1 million pounds a year.

  Although it is necessary to pay the salaries of the entourage, the servants, and the management team of the Panda Restaurant, the family's daily expenses each year.

   There are also donations from eleven charitable organizations, but since Henry took over the expenses of the Olympic athletes in the United States.

   How can it cost 30,000 to 400,000 pounds in a year, and it can really be used by myself.

  Thinking about myself financially, I seem to be more affluent than everyone in the royal family.

  A smile and love suddenly appeared in Annie's eyes, and she looked at Li Changheng's profile.

   And Li Changheng secretly gave a grimace Philip a glance.

   I donated land near Hyde Park worth 25 million pounds to his private royal fund last year.

   After the land was bought, the land was listed in the accounts of the offshore island company under his name for more than a week.

   The relevant data is already in his mind.

  Every year, the merchants and tenants on this piece of land have to pay at least £900,000 in rent.

  In addition to Philip's other businesses for so many years, the annual income of the royal family's private fund is not 4 million pounds, and he is willing to make up all of it.

   Annie's grandmother saw Li Changheng cast a few glances at Philip, and immediately knew that her careful thoughts had been seen through.

   And she, who is always thinking and thinking, also suspects that there are many secrets between Li Changheng and Philip that no one knows.

   hurriedly coughed and said, "Or, the new company is placed under the name of the family foundation.

   Then Annie got 30%, Philip and Mary got 40%.

   Charles, Andrew and Marguerite are 10% each? "

  Mary, Charles, and Andrew, mother and son, must be unwilling.

  It’s not a big problem for Philip, but the relationship between the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law, regardless of China or the West, is not too good.

   can ask Mary in front of the whole family to say that she does not want to give Margaret 10% of the shares.

   That offended not only Marguerite, but also Annie's grandmother.

   If their mother and daughter target her together, life in this cold palace will be even more difficult.

   However, this is not the most critical issue.

   Really speaking, let alone Mary, mother and son, even Princess Margaret herself is unwilling to put the company under the name of the family fund.

   This means that all the rights of the future company will be controlled by Philip alone.

   For anyone, money is of course his own money in his own hands.

   Otherwise, it would be difficult to report any expenses.

   Fortunately, Philip knew his mother's thoughts and was too controllable.

  While Li Changheng's dissatisfaction is worried, he himself is unwilling to allow his sister, son, and wife to have access to the internal affairs of the family fund because of a company.

   Not to mention anything else, just for the 25 million land donated by Li Changheng last year, he doesn't want anyone to know even the slightest piece of news.

   "I am responsible for the company's start-up capital and manpower, and the specific management is left to Charles and Andrew, as they give them a chance to exercise. As for the issue of shares?"

   Philip looked at Li Changheng and said, "Henry, do you have any other ideas?"

   Li Changheng shrugged, Anne's 30% shares remained unchanged, and Princess Margaret was given 10% shares. It was the Philip family who suffered.

   And in his opinion, this amount is absolutely just right.

   No matter how much it is, it seems that Grandmother Annie is too doting on her little daughter.

   is less than 10%. Before the company has developed, it is actually not much money.

   The only thing that made Grandmother Annie sigh was that she said that the company was included in the family fund in order to use the fund to protect Margaret’s shares.

   In order to avoid the future capital increase, Margaret’s shares will be continuously diluted.

   Li Changheng looked at Philip with a smile and said, "I have nothing to do with the gift.

   However, I have already left a lot of my business to Annie, and she will definitely not work in the new company. "

   Annie held Li Changheng's arm sweetly, while the Philip family looked at them both in surprise and surprise.

I left the business to Annie before getting married. This is not to say that the probability of the two being separated in the future has become smaller~lightnovelpub.net~ But the Philip family did not notice that they and others would always care about Li Changheng’s ideas. , And even ask him what he thinks.

   Even if he objected, no one felt that there was any problem with further discussions.

   Compared to Margaret's side, like the invisible Anthony, Li Changheng's status in this family is definitely higher than that of Anne, Andrew and Margaret.

   As for Charles, Li Changheng himself would not compare him.

   It's already the limit to be able to compare to Andrew's own son.

   But when it comes to making ideas and encountering things, Philip must be the first to think of him, not Charles and Mary.

   Anthony shook his head helplessly while being jealous and envious of Li Changheng, who was talking and laughing freely.

   This is a competition of hard power. As long as you don’t rely on flattery to improve your status, what can you do?

   Instead, I have to thank Li Changheng for his ideas and business, which made his life with Margaret better.

   Hello, adults, I am also talking and laughing, Charles and Andrew's eyes are a little uncomfortable.

   The original 20% has become 10%, so it's weird to feel better.

   It is a pity that no matter how unhappy, it can only be so in the end.

   The nobles and royal families themselves are landlords and feudal classes. Although there must be family affection, many practices still make people feel cold and even indifferent.

   This is also the reason why Annie likes to be with Li Changheng and staying in Long Island, New York.
