Chapter 302 Unknowingly Changed

Philip shook his head and sighed, "I haven't received a salary for 17 years since I took the throne.

Moreover, the annual royal funds of 2.5 million pounds have long been insufficient to maintain the operation of the entire royal family.

However, England's economy has been in decline for the past few years, and the government's fiscal deficit last year was as high as 800 million pounds.

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

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

Even once the problem of deficit and trade deficit cannot be solved, the pound will be bearish by other countries and passively depreciated.

In this case, I really don't want to and can't tell the outside world that the royal family can no longer maintain the dignity it should have.

But if we don't want to do anything, we can only reduce the expenses of the royal family members, and even the whole family moved out of Buckingham Palace and lived in a smaller castle. "

"Cut down the cost?"

Princess Margaery suddenly said anxiously, "Philip, Anthony and I have more than 8,000 pounds a month, and the annual royal salary of 100,000 pounds a year is not enough.

If you cut back further, the two of us can only stay in Kensington Palace all day, and then dismiss half of the entourage and staff. "

Everyone at the scene, except Li Changheng, suddenly became worried and melancholy.

This is why he told Philip before.

Even if the Americans fell into an economic recession because of the Vietnam War, the rate of decline in the pound must be greater than the rate of decline in the US dollar.

The island nation's 90s were the lost decade, so England from the 60s to the 80s was the lost 30s.

Completely interrupted the pride in the heart of the English and became the follower 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, servants, and the management team of the panda restaurant, the family's annual daily expenses.

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

After a year, there will be 30,000 to 400,000 pounds, which can really be used by myself.

Thinking about it this way, financially, I seem to be better off than everyone in the royal family.

Annie suddenly smiled and looked at Li Changheng's profile with love in her eyes.

And Li Changheng secretly rolled his eyes at the frowning Philip.

He donated £25 million worth of land near Hyde Park to his royal private fund last year.

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

The relevant data has long been in his mind.

The merchants and tenants on this land alone have to pay at least 900,000 pounds in rent every year.

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

Annie's grandmother saw that Li Changheng glanced at Philip, and immediately knew that her little thoughts had been seen through.

Moreover, she is old and thoughtful, and she also suspects that there are many secrets between Li Changheng and Philip that no one knows.

Busy coughed and said, "How about putting the new company under the name of the family foundation.

Then Anne gets 30%, Philip and Mary get 40%.

Ten percent each for Charles, Andrew and Margery? "

Mary, Charles, and Andrew mother and son are definitely not willing.

It's not a big problem for Philip, but the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law, no matter how good it is in China or the West.

But let Mary say in front of the whole family that she doesn't want to give Margaret 10% of the shares.

That offended not only Margaery, but also Anne'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.

To be honest, not to mention Mary, mother and son, even Princess Margaery 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 only in their own hands.

Otherwise, if you have to report any expenses, it will be difficult.

Fortunately, Philip knew what his mother was thinking, and she was too controlling.

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

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

"I'm responsible for the start-up capital and manpower of the company. The specific management is handed over to Charles and Andrew. It's just that 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, but Princess Margaery was given 10% of the shares, and the Philip family was the one who suffered the most.

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

Any more would make Grandma Annie seem too doting on her youngest daughter.

It is less than 10%. Before the company develops, it is actually not much money.

The only thing that made Grandma Anne sigh was that she said that the company was included in the family fund in order to use the fund to protect Margery's shares.

In order to avoid future capital increase, Margaret's shares will continue to be diluted.

Li Changheng looked at Philip with a smile and said, "It has nothing to do with me when the gift is sent out.

However, a lot of the business in my hand has been handed over to Annie, and she will definitely not work in the new company. "

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

Handing over the business to Annie before getting married doesn't mean that the chances of the two of them separating in the future will become smaller.

But Philip's family didn't notice that they and others would always care about Li Changheng's thoughts, and would even ask him what he thought.

Even if he objects, no one thinks there is any problem in discussing and discussing.

Compared with Margaery, who is like invisible Anthony, Li Changheng's status in this family is definitely higher than that of Anne, Andrew and Margaery.

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

To be able to compare with Andrew, his own son, is already considered the limit.

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

While Anthony was jealous and envious of Li Changheng, who talked and laughed freely, he shook his head helplessly in his heart.

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 providing ideas and business, which made his and Margery's lives better.

The adults talked and laughed about hello and me, Charles and Andrew looked a little unhappy.

The original 20% became 10%, and it would be strange to feel better.

It's a pity that no matter how unhappy it is, it can only be like this in the end.

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

This is why Annie likes being with Li Changheng and staying in Long Island, New York.
