Chapter 257
This question has always plagued Archduke Grosvenor, and he kept him smoking all night. Even if he was very tired, as soon as he closed his eyes, the sci-fi-style holographic projection and mobile phone would appear in his mind. Burning itching.
On the way back to Buckingham Palace, Philip closed his eyes and thought about his cooperation with William a few months ago. At that time, he and the Archduke Devon took the trump card obtained from William to find the Archbishop of the Church of London.
Thinking of how the Archbishop was in a cold sweat and panicked when he saw the evidence, Philip felt relieved. After that time, he not only took back a lot of rights from the church, but also tore off a large piece of fat from the church. .
Philip, who had cooperated and received great benefits this time, saw the full-screen mobile phone and holographic projection technology in William's hands.
When he thought of the accumulation of the entire royal family for hundreds of years, the wealth on the bright side was not as large as that of the Grosvenor family, and Philip felt very unhappy.
Now there is an opportunity that will allow him to accumulate a lot of wealth in an open and honest way. Philip will never let it go, and William, who can help him make money, is now more and more pleasing to his eyes.
Opening his eyes, Philip looked at Prince Charles who was sitting beside him and asked, "How is the Earl of Oxford now?"
"Very bad," Charles glanced at his son Wilson, and said in a low voice, "It may not last a few months."
"A few months?" Philip closed his eyes and muttered, "A few months is too long."
Chapter 360 Castles are often captured because of internal
"How many months?" Philip's emotionless words shocked Wilson, who had never been in contact with this, and looked at his grandfather and father in disbelief.
The look of his son's fear made Charles a little unbearable, "Father".
Philip ignored Char's worries, touched the beard on the bar and said quietly, "He is 18 years old. It's time for him to get in touch with some things. Thinking about William's experience, suffering is the best teacher." .
"But William is a last resort, Wilson has me and you, and you have taught me that in the current form of the country, the king does not need so many calculations, no matter how perfect the calculation is, he will be caught by others. is the best option.”
"Yes, I said those words, but it was a last resort. The people don't want to see too much land and real estate owned by the nobles, and they have been restricting us. Politicians keep trying to curry favor with voters to suppress us for votes. Although he holds a lot of wealth, he has been living in fear,
After fighting for hundreds of years, the situation shows no sign of improving. Although we have been working hard to act according to the rules set by the capitalists, but for decades, in addition to a profitable Grosvenor among the hereditary aristocrats, who else? But Grosvenor can only play the low-level and public-criticized business of real estate.
But it is different now. The world is a game of money. As long as William can achieve the ultimate in a certain industry and affect the livelihood of more people, then he can have more say. Our life would be much better,
So I have to make sure that William Devon Hill is on the side of the hereditary nobility, and inheriting the title is the easiest and most straightforward way."
Charle and Wilson understood such a simple and straightforward truth as soon as they heard it, and Charle nodded, "Yes, helping him is also helping ourselves in a sense. If there is really a richest man in the world among our hereditary nobles Or someone who can influence a certain industry, it is really beneficial to us, the only thing that worries me is that this little guy William is too mean, and it is not so easy to take advantage of him.”
"Did we really not occupy it?" Philip squinted his eyes and smiled, "William is a good man, he will not fail to understand the benefits of winning us over. In the short term, we are indeed helping him in vain. It seems that we are at a disadvantage.
But the technologies that William brought out are all mature technologies that are already available for sale. The valuation of 5 billion pounds just doesn't allow us to take advantage of the original shares.
Think about it, it's only been more than a month, and there are no less than 50 people I know who have bought more than one set of these bulletproof suits. This month's sales are at least hundreds of sets. What is the concept of hundreds of sets? A full 500 million pounds, a company that has not yet been listed can achieve sales of 500 million pounds a month, what if it is a whole year? "
Char replied immediately, "Even if the market in England is saturated, it should be no problem to sell a few hundred sets. If the technology is not cracked, it should be easy to sell 1,000 sets a year around the world."
"Cracking, huh, let alone cracking technology, I sent someone to look for it for nearly 20 days, and I don't even know where this suit was produced," Philip said faintly, "The Devon Hill family used to be secret agents. Yes, it's not that easy to crack the secret from them"
"So no one will be able to copy this suit in the short term, a thousand sets a year, God, isn't that 5 billion pounds?"
Such a simple arithmetic problem, Charles and Wilson didn't have a second to react to it. Thinking that this year's sales were at least billions of pounds, the unpleasant feeling in their hearts that they didn't take advantage of it disappeared immediately. No trace.
Philip looked at his son and grandson who wanted to understand, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "I understand, not only did we not suffer, we actually took advantage. Think about it, the simplest and most direct benefit, as long as we are the shareholders of the company, then the first batch of Is it easy to get a new product?
With William's character of desperately demanding money, he limited or deliberately opened up the production of both new and old products, will those who can't buy new products come to us for help?"
Wilson laughed, "Grandfather, definitely, someone came to me a few days ago, wanting to buy an old bulletproof suit, it seems that I have to tell William, new products must be
It must be sold in limited quantities, and those who have arrived can get invitations from our company, and those who have not arrived can wear old styles.”
"Haha, you don't need to remind me, with what I know about William, he will definitely do it," said Char, who had the most contact with William.
Laughing and laughing, the car drove into Buckingham Palace. Before getting off the car, Philip and Char said: "Tomorrow morning, please tell Grosvenor what we just said."
"Why not tell Archduke Grosvenor now," Wilson asked curiously.
"Tell him tomorrow to teach him a lesson. I don't have to think about it to know that Grosvenor, who has been unable to understand, will definitely smoke all night, can't sleep, and I heard that he has some mental problems."
Charle looked at his father and said with a guilty conscience, "Grosvenor's mind is more serious. The economic crisis has caused him a lot of losses. There may be some problems. Father, I will continue to pay attention to and persuade him."
"Very well, one more thing, I heard that some people in Oxfordshire were not very friendly to William's mother Lena Devonhill?"
"How come?" These words surprised Charles and Wilson.
"Why not, some idiots just can't see the form, they take the credit of their ancestors as capital, and they are no different from beggars, but they still look down on what is already the richest family in England. You will not interact with them in the future."
"Understood, Father"
"Okay, grandfather".
"Also, let Diane find the opportunity to visit William's mother, she is the person we should pay attention to in the future, think about William's recent actions, you can understand that Lena is the only person William cares about in this world ,
Why did William set up the Devon Hill family fund to let Lena be the actual owner? He was filial to his mother and at the same time preparing for some possible situations,
Charle, Wilson, our enemies are not just ordinary people who are jealous and hate nobles, castles are often captured because of the inside."
"Understood, father."
"Well, good night, my children".
"Good night, father", "Good night, grandfather".
Watching Philip walk into the palace, Charle pressed a button beside the car door, "Drive, take me and Wilson to Kensington Palace".
"Okay, Your Highness."
Sitting in the car, Charles thought about Philip's words, and when he was about to reach Kensington Palace, he saw Wilson's expression of hesitant to speak, and smiled, "Let's walk in a while."
"Okay, father."
The motorcade entered Kensington Palace, Charles and Wilson got out of the car, and the two walked into the garden before Charles said, "Come on, what did you want to ask me in the car just now?"
"Father," Wilson hesitated for a few seconds and finally said: "I heard some rumors that the Earl of Oxford had a child when he was young, so why,,,"
"To shut up".
Chapter 361 Unexpected people did unexpected things
Wilson was interrupted rudely by Charles before he finished speaking, staring at Wilson seriously and saying, "Who did you hear about this?"
"I haven't heard anyone say it, it's just from some noble children who played well." Wilson was so frightened by Char's stern eyes that he broke into a cold sweat. It was the first time he saw his father's eyes so scary.
"Listen, Wilson, no matter where you heard it, don't mention it to anyone, let alone let William know that it was from you. This is someone trying to get into trouble, do you understand? "
"Don't worry, Father, I'm not that stupid, I just told you that I will never mention a word outside," Wilson looked at Charles seriously and assured.
Charles looked at Wilson carefully, and nodded after a while. After hesitating for a while, he decided to tell Wilson something, so that he would not get into trouble by guessing randomly, "You know William's grandfather, Henry."
"Yes, Henry Devonhill, the 45th head of the Devonhill family and the 16th Earl of Oxford, died in the line of duty ten years ago."
"It's good if you know it. What I want to tell you is that Henry has a secret team. There are people who I don't even know about, and maybe not even your grandfather." When the uneasy thing came, I shivered faintly, and it took a long time to say in a low voice,
