Chapter 110 Scaring Philip

Although the original stone has 9 carats, if this thing is cut out, it can be 4 carats, which is a master craftsman.

People born with Annie's status can tell at a glance that they are rough diamonds, instead of treating them as glass or crystals, or even funnier rock candies.

However, women are born with the attributes of giant dragons. Annie, who came back to her senses, asked in a stammering tone, "Darling, dear, are you sure you want to give it to me?"

"Besides giving it to you, who else can I give it to?"

Moreover, Philip should really know a little about him, otherwise Philip would not be able to rest assured whether it was the king or his father.

Of course, if Annie took it back, it must be half-truth, and even intentionally frightened Philip.

Afterwards, Li Changheng, who had decided how to guard against eavesdropping, no longer pretended to be too tired like the afternoon he had just returned, but took the initiative to have a happy fitness competition with the coy Annie.

Buckingham Palace.

Just as Li Changheng thought, given the corrupt environment in London at this time, the rough diamond business was nothing to Philip.

As far as he knows, there are several ways to legalize it.

The term "blood diamond" became popular after it was widely reported by the media.

"Honey, are you going to give this pink diamond to your mother as a Christmas present?"

"No," Anne snatched the rough stone back from Philip without thinking about it, and said with a pout, "This is Henry's first gift to me, and I want to make it into a necklace.

As for Mom's gift, I'll call Henry and ask him if he still has any red or yellow diamonds."

Speaking of red diamonds, Annie herself regretted it.

Pink diamonds and red diamonds are actually the same category of diamonds, and the deeper the pink is, the red diamond is. Therefore, red diamonds of the same size and purity are more rare and more valuable than pink diamonds.

If the rough pink diamond in Annie's hand was a red diamond, the value would immediately increase by three to five times.

And Philip is just teasing his daughter. Not only are the diamonds in his hand rare treasures, but he also knows that diamonds are just like that.

"I invited Henry Lee to the hunting festival after Christmas this time. He won't miss the appointment again and run away without a trace, right?"

"Certainly not," Anne blushed a little embarrassed, and defended Li Changheng, "Henry left London this time because he planned to sell a batch of gold worth two million pounds to raise funds for the new business and return the villa. money for renovations".

"Two million pounds of gold?"

Philip looked at Annie in surprise and said, "That kid is mainly in the gold business?"

"That's not true," Annie quickly shook her head, "Henry told me that he trades foreign exchange and buys gold just to preserve value.

And he can make a lot of money doing foreign exchange because he is not optimistic about the prospects of the US war in Vietnam.

It is estimated that the price of gold will rise in a few years, instead of maintaining a fixed price as it is now."

"You're kidding me?"

Philip almost said with a mocking expression, "The price of gold at $35 an ounce has been maintained since 1944.

As a kid just over 18 years old, can he understand the economy and international situation better than countless professors and experts? "

Annie stared at Philip in dissatisfaction and argued, "But Henry said that the United States spent more than 200 billion U.S. dollars, and will spend more U.S. dollars in the future to fight the Vietnam War. Although they won the battlefield, they destroyed their own economy.

In the future, more countries will begin to exchange their US dollars into gold and ship them back to their own countries.

The Bretton Woods system already has signs of being unable to sustain it at this time, and gold will definitely rise in the future.

And, and,,, ".

Speaking of this, Annie was a little afraid to continue what Li Changheng told her.

"And what, dear."

Philip was listening thoughtfully, and even thought of the recent incident in England that seemed to be transporting gold back to the country.

When he had to wonder if things were really as Henry said, Annie's pause immediately made him dissatisfied.

Annie lowered her head and murmured cautiously, "Henry also said that the pound and the dollar would depreciate with the appreciation of gold, but the dollar would fall much less than the pound because of the national strength of the United States.

Even, in order to transfer their own pressure, the Americans will take advantage of the US dollar settlement currency to harvest the money from their allies.

Therefore, he suggested that I exchange all the money in my hand into gold.

Even if you don’t believe what he said, you should at least exchange your money into US dollars to avoid losses.”

"Okay, let's come here today!"

Philip's voice suddenly became severe, and he would have almost swore if it had not been Anne who said it.

But sitting alone in the small reception room, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that although Anne's words were absurd, they seemed to have some truth.

Of course, there is only a sliver of truth, and Philip cannot believe what Li Changheng said after the 24-year-old docking system between the US dollar and gold.

Or to put it another way, Philip did not dare to see the day when the United States was weak.

Once the red polar bear has the upper hand, it will be a nightmare for people like him and countless capitalists.

Instead, I want to meet Li Changheng sooner.

In the next few days, Philip was in a very bad mood. He even had a sullen face during the Christmas speech, and the Christmas he made didn't have the festive atmosphere that a festival should have.

In the past few days, Li Changheng signed a contract with the largest law firm in London to apply for a global patent on trolley bags, and he went to the racecourse to learn how to ride a horse.

Then she was dragged by Annie to buy clothing and equipment for hunting.

Li Changheng looked at the oily and dark green windbreaker in his hand, and said to Anne helplessly, "Although I know that Barbour is famous and there is a lot of rain in England, this kind of windbreaker that feels greasy to the touch is really for the royal family and nobles." Exclusive hunting suit?"

Annie laughed when she heard that, "My father's trench coat has been worn for more than 30 years, and Barbour will repair it for free if there is any problem.

Some people have even worn a piece of clothing for three generations without changing it. From the perspective of saving, this kind of clothing will of course become everyone's first choice. "

Li Changheng shook his head helplessly, "Well, a piece of clothing is guaranteed for several generations, which really makes people speechless."

On the afternoon of the 24th, after setting up the Christmas tree with Anne and buying all kinds of ingredients, I sent away Anne who was reluctant to part with her and went to Sandringham Manor in Norfolk to spend Christmas with her family.

Li Changheng, who suddenly calmed down, and the atmosphere of Christmas, suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in his heart.

After thinking about it, I went to the study and called Frank with the phone I installed.

Finding out where Frank's new home is is not as difficult as he thought. It's easy to find out who the new homeowners have registered their names in the past month by spending some money on the staff of the house registration department.

Hundreds of names were mixed together, and no one knew who he was looking for.

Moreover, he is not so stupid to go to the London police and the Gray Gang, to go to Frank.

When the phone call came, Frank, who was also alone, agreed to go out for dinner without any hesitation.

Finally, after thinking about it, I tried calling the Sonoita Police Department in a small town in Arizona, USA.

Unexpectedly, in less than two months, Barney bought a ranch there, and even became a policeman in the town.
