Chapter 303 Returning Philip to the Castle

The two brothers, Charles and Andrew, who had no one to ask for their opinions, could only sigh helplessly in their hearts after looking at each other.

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

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

But since the benefits have been obtained, when it comes to inventions, it is the most disgusting greed and indecision.

It's just not treating Li Changheng's friends and family, but treating him as a fool.

When Charles thought about what his father had said about Li Changheng, and then thought that if he was targeting him, he felt a little scared.

And Andrew just thought of Li Changheng's expression when he squinted his eyes and stared at him, and his heart was already trembling.

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

Afterwards, Li Changheng seemed to have forgotten, and didn't talk about the photo at all.

Andrew, who didn't dare to let Philip know that he was smoking special tobacco, was photographed. He could only pretend to be an ostrich, so he was burned as a photo.

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

Then the two brothers let go of those thoughts in their hearts, and listened enviously to Annie talking about the manor in Long Island, New York.

While talking, Philip suddenly smiled and asked Li Changheng.

"Henry, you and Anne are in England, and you don't have a country estate for summer or hunting, do you?"

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

So as not to make people think that their family is too greedy.

Sure enough, Philip thought for a while and said, "Anne likes Balmoral Castle very much,,,."

"NO, NO, NO."

Without waiting for Philip to finish speaking, Li Changheng directly refused with a frown.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that Philip would actually want to give him Balmoral Castle.

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

"Okay, thank you for your understanding."

Not only Philip was relieved, but Annie herself was also relieved.

Balmoral Castle is Philip and Mary's favorite summer vacation in Scotland.

It has a full 50,000 acres of hills, mountains, forests, large grasslands and numerous herds of deer, wild boars, foxes, quails, pheasants and rabbits.

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

The biggest reason for Li Changheng's refusal was that Philip's family spent summer at Balmoral Castle every summer.

Every year in the second week of July there, every visiting guest is entertained.

And it seems that except for the female leader who has been in power for 11 years, all the other leaders are very positive and satisfied with being invited to Balmoral Castle.

There have even been cases where people linger until there is a backlog of things that will cause problems if they don't return to London.

And after eating barbecue with the royal family, I was assigned to do the first job of washing dishes and dishes.

The only person with a transcendent status is probably Fatty Qiu.

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

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

When it comes to Zhengzhi, Li Changheng does not want to be caught in the vortex of the battle by Downing Street as it is a temptation of the royal family.

Even if it is inevitable to come into contact with first items in the future, the best way is to help them solve some troubles at that time.

Then he is regarded by various factions in England as a mild-mannered person, a smart person who knows what to do and what not to do, and a bridge to maintain the relationship between Downing Street and the royal family.

He poses no threat to anyone, and although he will be looked down upon by others, it is better than making enemies.

Moreover, no one will casually offend someone who can talk to anyone, even someone who is not in a strong relationship, but has a lot of communication and influence.

Wait, Li Changheng immediately realized that Philip never thought of sending Balmoral Castle.

His eyes rolled, "I heard that Howard Manor has been unoccupied for many years, and the fire twenty years ago prevented the castle from being fully restored, right?"

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

This bastard kid wants to give him Howard Endor for free?

More than two months ago, Hoddle-Howard rejected Lee Chang Hyung's proposal for the opening of the castle for wedding photography.

Around that time, Hoddle and Howard Manor were targeted by Henry.

Philip mourned for Hoddle in his heart for a few seconds, but chose to stand by Li Changheng without the slightest hesitation.

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

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

"Okay, I'll talk to the Howards."

Only then did Li Changheng smile in satisfaction.

Although Philip didn't say it clearly, he and Li Changheng knew in their hearts that the castle must be given away, not bought on behalf of them, or a middleman who made introductions.

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

Seeing that Philip and Li Changheng had settled, Charles broke the news, "Howard Endor is not a good choice at this time.

It is said that the annual maintenance cost of the manor is more than 100,000 pounds, and the repair cost is more than one million pounds.

If you add menservants, maids, gardeners, employees who specialize in looking after dogs and breeding and training horses.

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

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

Philip laughed and said, "He is richer than me, and even adding up all his assets, he is only a little less than Lalder Grosvenor."

"What?"

Princess Margaery looked at Li Changheng and Annie in surprise, even in disbelief.

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

Now even Annie covered her mouth in disbelief, "Honey, is what Aunt Margery said true?"

Li Changheng rolled his eyes at the smiling Philip, and then shifted his target to hold Annie's hand.

"Aren't you worried that the family expenses of one million pounds that are transferred to the foundation shared by the two of us every year will put me under too much pressure?"

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

Andrew jokingly said to Mary, "Mummy, why wasn't I born a princess, otherwise I would be as carefree as Annie."

Everyone who was surprised at first burst into laughter when they heard Andrew's ridicule.
