England 1986

Chapter 3 Someone wants to pick peaches?

Those messy things in school, and everything else in life made him extremely satisfied!

Allen was already imagining life as an adult.

Be an old man with peace of mind, turn into a dandy, happily lie on top of the noble family of the Hill family, be a blood-sucking moth, and live a sinful life so happily!
Although the right to inherit the title of earl belongs to his eldest brother, not to him, there is a very interesting phenomenon in Daying.

In many traditional high-end aristocratic families, the head of the family has more than one noble title.

When holding multiple titles, except for the eldest son inheriting the most important title, the other titles can be passed on to other legal offspring at the will of the father.

This status is legal, which refers to the offspring born to a legal wife with a marriage certificate, and the marriage must be done after the certificate is obtained first, even if the order is wrong!
As for illegitimate children and the like, don't even think about it.

And Alan's father not only has the title of earl, but also the title of viscount.

His title will belong to Allen in the future. There are only two children of the Hill family, and this is his compensation to Allen.

But with a car accident, everything is gone!

Now, Allen, who fantasizes about spending his whole life gnawing on the old, is affected by a car accident and returns to before liberation.

Want to gnaw on the old, but the person who was gnawed just disappeared.

A good life has just begun. Allen, who has only experienced a decadent life for a few short years, has now become the only surviving legal heir of the Hill family, the quasi-earl.

Normally, after the death of the old earl, he left his family property to his descendants, apart from sadness, the rest should be happy.

Moreover, the expected viscount has arrived, and even the earl that exceeded expectations has also been obtained.

However, in addition to leaving him a large "family business", Allen's father also left him several huge foreign debts and other troubles.

Theoretically speaking, the Hill family's family business is still very solid. Although Alan didn't know it in detail, but at the dinner table, I heard my father and elder brother talk about the income of the family factory this year. Still have an impression.

If it weren't for the fact that the family was relatively well-off, Alan's father, the old Earl, would not have bought a few Bentleys to replace the old Land Rover that had been driving for nearly ten years.

In the past few years, the policy has been changing, and the environment in Great Britain has become less and less friendly to the nobles. The old earl sold some land and a manor in exchange for a large amount of cash, which was invested in the stock market.

In the United Kingdom, from the queen to the common people, there are two economic activities that most people cannot do without-stocks and gambling.

For a big old man, the stock.
I listen to other people's calling for the wind and rain in the stock market every day, and how much wealth I have earned.

But it was really time for the old earl to operate it himself.
The performance of the old earl in the prime of his life can only be described by one idiom - coming and going like the wind.

This coming and going like the wind, to be precise, does not describe the old earl himself, but precisely describes the wealth in his hands.

Come fast, go fast, come and go like the wind!
These things all happened in recent years. When Allen was serving abroad, the old earl only sent him a letter from home every quarter. Rarely mentioned.

Most of it was told to him by Butler Huth.

In normal times, when the old Earl was still around, these "slight" economic problems, gritted his teeth, and demolished the east to make up for the west, to the Hill family, it was not a big deal.

But now there is a sudden accident at home, and Allen has not completely taken over the family business.

And the first thing he has to face is Great Britain's malicious and huge inheritance tax against the nobles!
If he wants to inherit the Hill family business, Allen must first pay a large amount of inheritance tax.

He can now sell his property to pay taxes, but the inheritance tax alone can already account for nearly half of his family property.

Although most nobles have ways to avoid inheritance tax in one way or another, those are all based on normal circumstances. The old earl is in the prime of his life, so why is it necessary to engage in these things?
Now, once in a while.
And at this critical moment, it is impossible to even think about selling those valuable properties at the normal market price now!

No one is a fool. When everyone knows that you are short of money and have to sell some industries cheaply to return funds, how can you be worthy of the word capitalist if you don’t suck your blood and swallow your meat?

Allen couldn't afford to wait, but others could!

The more you delay, the lower the price of some things will be. This is a dead end!

He can't sell his property and pay the inheritance tax, so there's nothing left, right?
After taking over a dilapidated family property, there are only a few servants and titles left?

Thinking of this, Alan's eyes were even a little red.

As a good young man who was born under the red flag and grew up under the red flag, when did he encounter such a thing? !

He came to Daying to enjoy life!

I'm not here to lead these stupid foreigners out of poverty and become rich!
In his previous life, Allen was just an ordinary studio old fritter who had been in the entertainment industry.

The assistant director has done it, the director's assistant has done it, photography, scene recording, scene management, lighting, etc. have been done.

But. Ran and egg.

He is limited by his lack of fame, and there are no financial backers asking him to invest in any large-scale film and television projects. The largest film and television project he has ever led is a web drama with an investment of "up to" 60.

With his experience and ability, how should he deal with the next thing he faces?
He is now a child without a father, everything can only depend on himself.

And what else could he do?
Could it be that he was asked to take out the love letters received by Huth's housekeeper for him for so many years as waste paper and sell waste products to return funds?

Tons of love letters may seem like a lot, but for the huge inheritance tax, it is a drop in the bucket!

And as a man who is about to become an earl, he has to pay inheritance tax by selling a lot of love letters.
If this gets out, how will Allen live in the future?

He will lose all face of the Hill family!
Hu Te concentrated on driving the car, maintaining a speed of 40 mph, looking at the rearview mirror from the corner of his eye, the eyes of the second young master in the mirror were slightly red.

Seeing the appearance of the second young master, Hu Te thought that the second young master saw things and thought about others, saw the old earl's usual car, and thought of the late old earl again.

Hu Te's nose was slightly sour, and he said sadly, "Second Young Master, your condolences. In fact, the Earl's funeral has been dealt with, that is."

"???"

Hearing the butler's comfort at first, Alan didn't pay much attention to it, but after the funeral
Already done?
What the fuck?

No matter where you are, no matter what the customs are, how can there be any reason why the father's funeral has been settled before the son comes back?

In other words, everything is settled?The reason why the housekeeper asked him to come back was to come back to attend to the funeral affairs. What the hell did he do? He hasn't come back yet, and the father's funeral affairs have already been taken care of?
Could it be some illegitimate son of a bitch who wants to seize his family property by special means?

Although faced with various difficulties, none of these were unacceptable. At this moment, Alan's face, which was different from ordinary people, showed a surge of hostility.

"Hoot. That's not what you said on the phone!"

Seeing the anger on Allen's face, Butler Hut was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the second young master had misunderstood!

　The new book issue cannot be published more often. I originally planned to add two chapters, but think about it, what's the point of publishing two chapters on the first day of publishing the book?
　　This is not my style!
　　Add a chapter!
　　But
　　Grades are important, process is important!
　　Sorry readers!

　　I still have to hang around for a month, let me slowly add some recommendations, bookmark it to the top, in the future I can only update it twice a day, forgive me!
　　It’s not that it can’t be added, but that it’s too fast to add new books, and the time to retain new books is too short, and I’m a newbie, so my grades will definitely improve.
　　and so!
　　I'll knock one first, please be considerate, thank you!
