Chapter 303: Philip returning to the castle

The two brothers Charles and Andrew, who hadn't asked their opinion, could only sigh helplessly after looking at each other.

   While looking at Li Changheng and Annie very enviously, the two brothers looked at Li Changheng with a little fear.

   If there is no facial mask, they might still have a chance to try to join in the invention he has made in the past two months.

   But now that the benefits have been gained, let's talk about the invention, that is, the most disgusting greed and the inability to advance or retreat.

   is not to regard Li Changheng’s friends and family, but to treat him as a fool.

   Charles felt a little scared when he thought of what his father had said about Li Changheng, and then thought that if he was staring at him.

  And Andrew was just thinking of the expression on Li Changheng when he squinted his eyes and stared at him.

   There are also those photos and negatives, since Li Changheng just returned to London two months ago and mentioned them to him once.

   Lee Chang-hyung seemed to have forgotten afterwards, and he never said anything about the photos.

   Did not dare to let Philip know that he smoked special tobacco, and Andrew, who was actually photographed, was burned as an ostrich.

   Or when there is a chance to help him in the future, take the opportunity to bring up this matter again.

   Then the two brothers let go of the thoughts in their hearts and listened enviously as Annie talked about the manor on Long Island, New York.

   While talking, Philip suddenly smiled and asked Li Changheng.

   "Henry, you and Annie are in England. There is no country manor to escape the heat or hunt, right?"

   Li Changheng smiled and nodded, knowing that Philip probably wanted to use the manor as a gift in return for businesses such as facial masks, road bikes, and electric drills.

   lest people think that their family is too greedy.

  Sure enough, I saw Philip think for a while and said, "Annie likes Balmora Castle very much..."

   "NO, NO, NO."

   Li Changheng refused without waiting for Philip to finish, frowning directly.

   Seriously, he really didn't expect Philip to want to give Balmora Castle to himself.

   "I don't want to be scolded, and I don't want Anne to be publicly accused."

   "Well, thank you for your understanding."

   Not only did Philip breathe a sigh of relief, but Annie also felt relieved.

  Balmora Castle is Philip and Mary, their favorite Scottish holiday estate in summer.

   has a full 50,000 acres of hills, mountains, forests, large areas of grassland and numerous herds of deer, wild boars, foxes, quail, pheasants and rabbits.

   Although it is very large, according to the price of the land, it is about 5-10 million pounds.

   The biggest reason for Li Changheng’s refusal is that, except for the Philip family, they take refuge in Balmora Castle every summer.

   Every year in the second week of July, there will be the first item that will entertain everyone who comes as a guest.

   And it seems that, with the exception of the female lead for 11 years in power, all the other firsts are very positive and satisfied with being invited to visit Balmora Castle.

   There have even been people who stayed up until there was too much backlog, and there would be problems if they didn't go back to London before they had to leave.

   There is also the first item of being assigned to wash dishes and dishes after eating barbecue with the royal family.

   The only person with aloof status is probably only Fatty Qiu.

   So once the castle is given to him and Annie, transaction tax and other taxes are trivial matters.

   But the English nobles and regular guests would keep wondering why Philip gave Anne and him his favorite castle.

   When it comes to Zhengzhi, Li Changheng doesn't want to be treated as Downing Street. This is a trial by the royal family, and he is trapped in the vortex of battle.

   Even if it is inevitable to contact each of the first items in the future, the best way is to help them solve the problems at the time.

   was then regarded by various factions in England as a wise man who knew what to do and what not to do, and a bridge that could maintain the relationship between Downing Street and the royal family.

   is no threat to anyone. Although it will be looked down upon, it is better than making enemies.

  Moreover, no one will offend anyone and anyone who can say a few words casually, even people who are not iron-clad but have a great social and influence.

   Wait, Li Changheng suddenly realized in his heart that Philip had never thought of sending Balmora Castle.

   Eyeballs rolled, "I heard that Howard Manor has been uninhabited for many years, and the fire 20 years ago prevented the castle from being restored, right?"

   Philip immediately understood, and then looked at Li Changheng with a frown.

   This **** kid wants to give him Howard Manor for free?

   More than two months ago, when the castle was opened for a bet on wedding photography, Hoddle Howard rejected Li Changheng’s proposal.

   Probably at that time, Hoddle and Howard Manor were spotted by Henry.

   Philip mourned for Hoddle for a few seconds in his heart, but did not hesitate to choose to stand on Li Changheng's side.

   And anyway, the Howard family at this time has long since fallen to the point where it can't even maintain and restore Howard Manor.

   Give them a reasonable price, and then get rid of the annual maintenance fee of 100,000 pounds. Hoddle should not refuse.

   "Well, I will talk to the Howard family."

   Li Changheng smiled with satisfaction.

   Although Philip didn't say it clearly, he and Li Changheng knew in their hearts that the castle must be a gift, not a purchase or an introduction intermediary.

   "Henry, I don't think Howard Manor is a good choice."

Charles saw that Philip and Li Changheng had a good talk, and could not help breaking the news, "Howard Manor is not a good choice at this time~lightnovelpub.net~ I heard that the annual maintenance fee for the manor is more than 100,000 pounds, and the restoration cost is millions. Above the pound.

   If you add male servants, maids, gardeners, and employees who specialize in looking after hunting dogs and raising and training horses.

   The salary of more than 40 people plus horses, hunting dogs and other expenses, how can it cost 100,000 pounds a year? "

   "Well, Charles, the only thing Henry doesn't need to worry about is money."

   Philip laughed and said, "He has more money than me, and even all the assets combined are a bit less than Lard Grosvenor."

"what?"

   Princess Margaret looked at Li Changheng and Annie in surprise and even incredible.

   "Doesn't that mean Henry is worth more than 100 million pounds?"

   Now, even Annie covered her mouth incredible, "My dear, is what Aunt Margaret said is true?"

   Li Changheng white smiled Philip, and then he shifted the target and held Annie's hand.

   "Now, don’t worry about transferring to the foundation shared by both of us every year. The one million pounds of family expenses that you control will make me too stressed?"

   "God, I can't stay any longer, you are too numb."

   Andrew said to Mary jokingly, "Mummy, why was I not a princess when I was born, otherwise I would be as carefree as Annie."

   Everyone who was originally surprised, heard Andrew's teasing, and suddenly laughed.
