Chapter 716: Super Big Leak Pana Valley

Li Changheng's special bullet-proof Rolls Royce, under the protection of four front and rear **** vehicles, drove all the way to Manhattan.

Leaning on the back seat, thinking helplessly, as his achievements and wealth became more and more prominent, the royal family could not decide anything about him, but increased the number of people around Annie.

Of course, if he disagrees, even the persuasion of King Philip and the old man will be useless.

But Anne is a princess after all. In line with the principle that the more people she serves, the more important her status in the royal family, she really can't have 13 people around her.

Otherwise, even Anne's aunt Princess Margaret would be treated better than her.

So from the original only 13 people including butlers, maids, and ace agents, it became a team with more than 30 people.

The treatment is not only higher than that of Andrew's second heir, but only 2 people less than Charles's entourage.

If Li Changheng didn't agree to this matter, Annie would be sad if she didn't say anything.

After all, without mentioning the chaotic conflict of interests, the attention of her parents alone made Anne, who had been educated to make way for Charles and Andrew before the age of 16, rationally wanted to refuse, but she was absolutely unwilling in her heart.

Just raising these people and the necessary security expenses would cost 800,000 pounds a year.

Of course, this money can also be reimbursed by the royal family, after all, Anne's security force belongs to Philip.

And the money came from Downing Street.

But Li Changheng was unwilling to follow the people around him, because he was not under his control.

And this may be the direct cause of the attitude of these royal guards.

Being able to be sent to protect Annie will certainly not be a problem in terms of loyalty to the royal family, so it's okay to completely obey Annie, but it's hard for Li Changheng to say.

After all, there is not only an English nationality, but also an American identity.

In addition, except for the first one or two years, Li Changheng has never fulfilled his royal duties in recent years.

In the past two years or so, the center of gravity has long since moved from England to the United States, and has not even returned to England for more than a year.

Some English people have watched England’s economy get worse, the unemployment rate has soared, and the international influence has plummeted.

How much wishful thinking had been for him at the beginning, but now there is much disappointment.

After all, the origin of this group of guards is not a soldier with a high degree of recognition from the royal family, or a special person trained by an ace agent.

While supporting the royal family, of course, I also hope that Li Changheng, as the hereditary aristocrat and Annie's fiance, can do something for England.

It was not that Li Changheng really gave up, or despised the fallen England, after all, he still understood the truth about the Three Caves of the Rabbit.

But people didn't ask for a door, so they rushed to help. That's not great, it's cheap.

Not to mention that Li Changheng was never a great person.

Fortunately, the maids and other servants managed by the butler Meryl are as professional as ever.

But the working attitude of the royal guards is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Some people are still very serious and responsible, but there are definitely people who mess around, or people who are eager to be transferred back to England.

If it weren't for loyalty, Li Changheng felt that apart from his own guards, ordinary Knight Shield members were not as good as royal guards.

He had driven all these people away long ago.

The only thing that satisfies him is that the new maids have specially trained ace agents.

Moreover, Harry Hart told the 4 agents the identities from the beginning.

As for whether anyone else has concealed their identity, Li Changheng knows that there must be, and even Meryl the housekeeper must be biased towards England.

So as long as there is no problem with loyalty, Li Changheng can't control many things no matter how powerful it is.

As for the issue of confidentiality, he kept all the secrets he could remember in his head anyway.

It had to be written down, and it was hidden, and even Annie didn't know where it was.

Plus Annie isn't stupid herself.

Not to mention that the two are already engaged. Even before the engagement, Annie, who had long been partial to Li Changheng, didn't tell her father and mother everything.

Let alone two brothers.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the convoy entered the upper Manhattan area and reached the place where Tyler Garnell lived just around the corner.

Banks, who was sitting in the co-pilot position of Rolls-Royce, saw a wine shop.

Suddenly thinking of something in my heart, I turned my head and asked Li Changheng, "BOSS, His Royal Highness Anne and Butler Meryl, have you forgotten the prepared gifts because of your previous words?"

Li Changheng was taken aback, then smiled and shook his head.

Then nodded to Banks, "Find a place to buy some wine and cigars."

Tyler Garnell is considered a friend no matter what, it is indeed rude to go to his house for a banquet for the first time.

Fortunately, the first time Americans came to the door, they usually sent red wine and whiskey.

If you have the ability, you can give it more expensive, if you don't have the ability, it will be cheaper, but it is true that one or two bottles of wine can be regarded as a gift.

Banks nodded, pointed at the wine sales store not far away and said something to the blade.

Then picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered the convoy to turn over.

Li Changheng was not interested in getting off the car, after all, Banks would surely be able to buy a bottle of wine.

I can see the introduction of Oak Town in Pana Valley, California written on the wine store, and I suddenly remembered.

In a few years, it seems that Pana Valley wines will get full marks in various competitions one after another.

Then, from just being a little famous in California, it became popular in the United States in a short time, and even the world has a new major wine producing area with a lot of fame.

The price also ranges from a few US dollars to two or three hundred US dollars for medium to top grade red wines, rapidly rising to more than ten to thousands of dollars.

Even for the first time, in certain years with good weather, the overall average price is more expensive than the French Bordeaux production area and even the four major wineries.

You must know that the Pana Valley is at least 7 times larger than Bordeaux, and there are too many low-grade red wines due to winemakers.

And in less than twenty years ~lightnovelpub.net~ the price of Portuguese land in Pana Valley will skyrocket from a few thousand dollars per acre to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After more than ten years, it will even rise to millions, and even individual wineries sell for hundreds of millions of dollars.

The increase of dozens of times, if Li Changheng had no idea, it would be good to say, since he has found it, of course he will not let it go.

And at this time, you can definitely buy a large number of vineyards, and then integrate them into a super winery with a length of several kilometers, or even more than ten kilometers.

When the time comes to select grapes with extremely stringent standards, it is easy to create high-end brands artificially.

Then use a large number of unsuccessful grapes to create a second card to make money and maintain the operation of the winery with sales.

Pat Banksy on the shoulder, "Let's get out of the car and have a look."

Banks quickly misunderstood that Li Changheng wanted to go in and select red wine by himself.

Pick up the walkie-talkie and let Tom Davis' team get out of the car.

A few minutes later, Li Changheng entered the wine shop under the **** of more than a dozen people.
