Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 450: Unraveling and Borrowing Strength
Chu Xiangqian had already told Eliza and Philips about this, but now he just wrote Margaret's name in the column of fund founder.

But in fact, the fund is still controlled by Chu Qianqian alone.

Eliza would definitely agree to this.

To a certain extent, it is disclosed that the beneficiary of this fund is Margaret.

At the same time, the outside world will also think that part of the money to buy the ranch came from the royal family's sponsorship.

Even if the royal family's money is not used, Margaret can spend millions of dollars to buy the ranch, which at least shows that the royal family treats her very well.

Even a little doting, which was good for the couple's reputation.

Moreover, Margaret bought a ranch in the United States instead of England, which also implicitly expressed that her life in London was not that good.

While it has a negative impact, it also expresses that Margaret may have given up on the throne.

The benefits to Eliza and Philip far outweighed the negative impressions.

Within the royal family, those who knew the relationship between Chu Xiangqian and Margaret naturally knew that the person who bought the ranch was actually Chu Xiangqian.

The royal family members will not feel that Eliza is partial and then clamor for more money.

Sure enough, after Arthur called and reported to London, there was a reply within just an hour.

Not only did he agree, but he also entrusted Margaret to visit the United States and meet the powerful people here and the wealthy people originally from England.

Let alone the mafia in Los Angeles now, after the American Mafia Committee finds out, they may take the initiative to kill the leaders in Los Angeles.

To avoid being suppressed by the United States and England at the same time, or even launching a large-scale arrest operation.

This move was used by Chu Xiangqian to a great extent.

And by going to Washington, Margaret would naturally be away from danger.

If only when he met with politicians and wealthy people, he would mention his experiences at the ranch.

In order to save face and get rid of negative influence, Americans will definitely try their best to destroy that family in Los Angeles.

It’s just that this time there is a high probability that I will not be able to accompany Margaret to Washington.

When an Asian appears next to her, not to mention politicians, even ordinary people in the United States will be constantly suspicious and suspicious.

However, this can be regarded as giving me free time to return to the capital and marry Xiao Lanlan.

While Margaret was still sleeping soundly, Chu went forward to chat with Will and Gao Gen.

The two police chiefs thought that since they had done something for Chu Qianqian, they would be able to stand tall in front of him.

But last night I saw two ace agents entering the tobacco farm, just like chopping vegetables and melons, and easily killed all four gang members and a dozen slave workers in the farm.

In the hearts of them, as well as Hans and the other cowboy, the two ace agents were definitely the best in a million.

Maybe he's the royal family's ace agent.

Moreover, the person's murderous and ruthless demeanor makes one's scalp numb just thinking about it.

Naturally, he became more and more respectful and even afraid of Chu Xiangqian.

This is actually normal. People at this time have never experienced the information explosion. In their eyes, agents, killers and the like are both mysterious and extremely dangerous.

And the more you have practiced marksmanship and know how difficult it is to hit someone with a gun, the more you know how powerful the two ace agents are.

Chu Qianqian originally thought that he would have to bleed before he could comfort Will and Gao Gen again, but he didn't expect that when the two red-necked middle-aged men saw him, their attitude was several times more respectful than yesterday.

As they chatted, they soon discovered that they were not generally interested in the royal family and nobles.

Only then did Chu Xiangqian come to his senses. In her previous life, when Margaret visited the United States to borrow money for England, the Americans welcomed and sought after her.

When Diana and Charles got married, more than half of the United States watched the wedding.

When he and Diana visited the United States, they received a much grander welcome than any other head of state's visit, which shows how much ordinary people in the United States pursue the royal family.

Chu Qianqian was moved and said with a smile, "Margaret and I are very grateful for everything you two did last night, so we are very willing to help your children apply for the qualifications of a noble school in England."

Will and Gao Gen were stunned. They didn't expect the reward to be this.

But thinking about it carefully, the two of them felt that it seemed better than pure money.

If the people in the small town knew that their children would go to London to attend an aristocratic school, it would be very honorable to think about it.

But Chu Xiangqian's thoughts were not very pure.

On the one hand, they are using their children to manipulate the two of them, and on the other hand, the tuition fees for aristocratic schools are extremely expensive.

In later generations, England relied on the education industry to make a lot of money.

As long as Will and Gogan have a need for money, they can only keep moving closer to themselves.

Moreover, although it costs a lot to earn tuition for children, the tuition is relatively expensive for ordinary people.

In other words, Will and Gao Gen's ambitions for money are not particularly big.

Lest these two people make 5 or 10, then suddenly want to make millions.Then he took the risk and betrayed himself.

Chu Qiang called Arthur and asked him to introduce the famous aristocratic school in England.

Harrow, Eton, Westminster and Winchester are all suitable for boys.

If you are a girl, St. Paul's Girls' High School definitely meets the requirements.

Will and Gao Gen don't know which public school is better. They can only say that they know Eton College, which is also the most famous among these private aristocratic public schools.

Arthur curled his lips inwardly. If the school is not the most famous, then it is suitable for all children.

Eton College is indeed the most famous, having produced 20 prime ministers, but even Eliza's eldest grandson was bullied by classmates at the same school.

Eliza's third son was deceived and coerced into drinking red wine that was filled with something special and had a slightly yellow color.

If your status and class are not that high, studying at Eton would be a burden to your children.

Don't let people bully you if you keep it.

So before Chu Qianqian agreed, Arthur suggested, "Gentlemen, I strongly recommend Westminster School, except that it is located in London.

The admission rate of this public school to Cambridge and Oxford has always remained above 50%. "

Will and Gogan were not stupid, and they could tell that Arthur meant that going to Eton College was not a good thing.

And after hearing what he said about such a high enrollment rate, the two fathers naturally wanted their children to become members of Oxford or Cambridge.

After taking care of the two rednecks, Chu Xiangqian thought about who to find to get the recommendation quota.

It would be useless to approach Margaret about this matter, and it would be futile to approach Philips.

The attitude of academic circles towards the royal family is sometimes more extreme than that of ordinary people.

Otherwise, the royal family would not hire so many art consultants for the purpose of wooing and compromising in disguise.Use the fame and influence of the royal family to help artists expand their fame.

If the artist who paints or writes books is famous, the paintings and books can sell for higher prices and in greater quantities.

After thinking about it, I still decided to find that boy Norton.

With his connections, there must be someone among the aristocratic children he knows who can easily obtain two admission qualifications.
-
At noon, I talked to Margaret about the interview and the visit. This girl didn't have any objections to the interview.

In my heart, I wished that the affair between myself and Chu Qianqian would be known to the outside world.

But I was very reluctant to go on a visit.

After all, she was only 26 years old at this time, and she had small thoughts but not much scheming.

Moreover, I had suffered at the hands of politicians and had received little benefit from the royal family, so I would naturally resist.

But after hearing Chu Xiangqian's explanation, Margaret's attitude suddenly changed.

Frowning, he asked, "Dear, as long as I vaguely mention what happened last night when meeting pro-English politicians and wealthy people, will Americans really help us take down the mafia in Los Angeles?"

Chu Qianqian smiled and nodded, "To put it bluntly, what happened last night was actually a very serious diplomatic incident. Once the Americans know about it, they will never be willing to turn against England because of a mafia family.

Downing Street even used this as a threat to seek benefits from the United States, and even borrowed money at low interest rates. "

Margaret felt relieved, and then looked at Chu Qianqian with a little satisfaction, "No matter how powerful you are, in the end you won't need me to completely solve the trouble."

Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes at her, "I have a hunch that if this ranch is well run, it may be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in the future.

And I estimate that the net profit will exceed millions of dollars every year in the future.

Ten years later, it may exceed $500 million.

By then our children will not even grow up yet, but they will already be million-pound or multi-million-pound babies.

So, be honest with me, otherwise, I will give all the proceeds to our children.But they only give you $[-] or $[-] as pocket money every year.

Also, in the future when we have a beautiful little princess, I will just buy her all kinds of jewelry. In the end, our baby will have more jewelry than you. It depends on what you do. "

When Margaret heard the first half, her heart beat faster with excitement.

But after hearing the last sentence, I immediately became scared.

He held Chu Qianqian's arm and shook it, "My dear, you can't do that to me. Otherwise, if the children are richer than me, where will I put my face?"

Chu Qianqian laughed, and like magic, he opened his palms to reveal a white diamond necklace the size of a pigeon egg.

This little girl was so frightened last night, so naturally she had to find a way to alleviate the negative emotions in her heart.

The diamond was one of the jewelry I exchanged with the mainland. Then I spent 1 gold coupon and 50 grams of gold in a jewelry store in Xinshou Village to create a diamond pendant necklace.

Although the style is ordinary, the diamond the size of a pigeon egg can attract the attention of all women.

Margaret covered her mouth and was silent for a few seconds before she asked excitedly, "D-give it to me, my dear?"

Chu Qianqian didn't answer, stood up, walked behind Margaret, and put it directly on her smooth, white neck.

Immediately I felt this girl’s beautiful three points.

Margaret lowered her head and stroked the diamond the size of a pigeon egg. After feeling the coldness from the diamond, she stood up excitedly and put her arms around Chu Qianqian's neck and gave her a sweet kiss.

The two maids waiting not far away also had their eyes wide with envy at this time.

Fortunately, that girl Nata was not there, otherwise Chu Xiangqian would definitely have to prepare one for her, one that was of a slightly inferior quality.

Otherwise, when Nata is on the bed, she will make various demands and insist on beating Chu Qianqian down.
-
At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Margaret, who was in such a good mood that she had even forgotten what happened last night, was riding on a quarter horse, followed by Chu Qianqian, who was also riding a horse, and kept chattering about things from her childhood. .

Chu Qianqian saw that she was in a good mood and knew that the psychological shadow caused by last night should be broken by the diamond necklace.

While listening patiently and chiming in a few words from time to time, Margaret's willingness to speak became even more obvious.

The two of them chatted and came to the construction site of the ditch.

After chatting with the contractor for more than ten minutes, he continued to mount his horse and ride horses on the ranch near the town of Solvang.

By the way, let's take a field trip to see if the hilltop where the shooting range is built is really suitable for construction.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Arthur and another agent came after him on horseback and told reporters from Santa Barbara and Los Angeles that they would arrive at the ranch in half an hour.

Chu Xiangqian and Margaret quickly returned to the manor.

Margaret took the maid to change and dress up herself, while Chu Xiangqian had two sheep slaughtered.

In the evening, a barbecue was held as usual instead of a formal meal in line with royal etiquette.

Margaret once thought about competing with Eliza for the throne, and Chu Xiangqian also knew a little about it.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian knew very well that Margaret had not succeeded back then and would have no chance in the future.

Rather than letting her have thoughts that are unlikely to succeed again, it would be better to let her give up from now on.

And although being close to the people will make her lose points in the eyes of the nobles, it can also help her gain more support from ordinary people.

And more attention can also make Margaret feel better.

As long as you feel comfortable in the future, you will basically have no inexplicable thoughts and ideas.

Before 4 p.m., seven or eight interview vehicles and cars entered the ranch.

Following Simon and Arthur, who came to greet them on horseback, they drove all the way to the center of the ranch.

The deeper the car drove into the ranch, the more envious the reporters and officials who came here felt.

It only takes 10 minutes to drive from the entrance of the ranch to the owner's residence. Just think about how big this ranch is.

During the next interview, Chu Xiangqian disappeared and stood with the four agents, making it look like he was a bodyguard.

Margaret chatted with the reporter for more than ten minutes according to the speech script she discussed with Chu Xiangqian and Arthur.

He also talked about some of his views on the United States and his hobbies, which gave the reporters plenty of topics to talk about.

By the way, reporters and officials discovered the bullet holes left last night.

There was no need for Margaret to say anything deliberately at this time. When the officials realized the trouble, they immediately warned the reporter sternly.

Then he invited Margaret into the room, chatted for a few minutes, and then went to make a phone call with a pale face.

By the time the interview ended, it was already past 5 o'clock.

The smell of barbecue was carried by the wind. Margaret smiled and invited everyone who came today to eat at the long outdoor dining table.

Barbecue, salad, and beer immediately brought Margaret and the reporters closer together.

Moreover, Margaret was a person who gave speeches while her sister was abroad. She may not be very smart, but she still has the ability to deal with reporters.
