Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 603: Profit is everything

Once Chu Qianqian got the bloody horse, the price really soared to the starting price of 15 pounds a horse.

Even though Philip was a prince, he didn't have much spare money on hand to buy one male, two female and three blood horses, and slowly breed more foals by himself.

At most, I can just buy a horse to test the waters. If I'm lucky, I might be able to buy a horse as good as Wu Zhui.

Of course, the nobles are not stupid. They know that this kind of luck is rare.

But ninety-nine percent of horse racing owners throw money into the water. Even if there is no hope of winning, they still continue to invest without regrets.

Of course, some horses are indeed very ornamental and deceptive, and even good horse-readers will end up making mistakes.

But the more unexpected and serendipitous it is, the more attention a horse will receive.

Those who are rich will continue to invest in the hope that their horses will one day win a championship or two.

However, some of the powerful people present did not have money, but they had power.

After thinking for a while, he said, "In a few days, Roman Holiday starring Taylor will be released. Then you will come to the London premiere. There will be about an hour and a half during the movie.

No, now it's not just about being worthy of them, but the investment in the past has been rewarded far beyond expectations.

When Elizabeth got the promise she wanted, she took Margaret to chat with other ladies and nobles with satisfaction, but Philip used iron ore as an excuse to continue to stay with Chu Qianqian.

In the eyes of Asians, this kind of woman is the bus they avoid.

But if you meet Taylor, I guarantee that in the future, newspapers in this country will receive various details of her relationship with you from time to time.

And the more popular a courtesan is, the more attractive she is in the eyes of some nobles. To put it bluntly, they don't actually care how many men these courtesans have had.

Margaret curled her lips and kept muttering in her heart that her sister was shameless and used her power to hint her man to compromise.

"This makes Ms. Taylor even more attractive."

Philips was stunned, and secretly thought that he wanted to discuss his acting and football skills with Taylor, but he still needed to pay?

With a suspicious look on his face, Chu Xiangqian shrugged angrily, "As far as I know, among the people present today, there are at least three people who spent more than ten or two hundred thousand to travel with Taylor. Week."

At first, Chu Xiangqian really thought that this guy wanted to reserve iron ore for the next few months, but he didn't expect that when Philips opened his mouth, he was talking about Taylor.

Philip pulled Chu Qianqian and whispered with a bit of pleading in his tone, "Stark, since I helped you run two iron ore transactions with a total price of more than ten million US dollars, it's up to you to do this." You have to help me.”

But the thinking of Europeans and Americans is indeed different from that of Chu Qianqian. After hearing this, Philip's eyes lit up and he looked at Taylor who was surrounded by a group of men and said with a smile.

In addition, nobles can give up their noble status and participate in elections to enter the House of Commons. It can be said that although the influence of nobles in the Infant Kingdom has been declining, they have never truly lost all their rights.

After chatting for a while, they agreed that when Wu Zhui finished participating in the third race in September and started breeding, he would give Elizabeth's racecourse a free breeding opportunity.

But if you let yourself be the bridge, if Elizabeth finds out about it in the future, she will definitely hate you.

Moreover, the hereditary system has been followed, that is, except for the clergy members of the House of Lords, all members are nobles.

Elizabeth was so happy that she almost wanted to hug Chu Qianqian. Fortunately, Elizabeth still had the upper hand in her heart, but she kept smiling and chatting with Chu Qianqian for at least half an hour.

He hurriedly advised Philips, "I advise you to give up this idea, that woman is not one of those noble ladies in England.

As a result, the guests present gradually became envious and cautious when they saw Chu's previous eyes.

Chu Xiangqian was worried about Elizabeth, so naturally he would not be stupid enough to help Philips introduce Taylor now.

Chu stepped forward and took a deep breath, knowing immediately that Philip was smitten with Taylor.

And this woman is so greedy. If you want to get in touch with her, you can't get into her bed without more than ten or two hundred thousand dollars. "

Although the rights of the Yingguo Parliament at this time are also restricted, it is not the nursing home that it will be decades later.

Guys like Ge Bai are all officials on Hong Kong Island. Not to mention Mountbatten, anyone with a title as high as the hospital noble can influence the future of these people.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about the power-money deals Ge Bai and the others had with the powerful. Anyway, after Wu Zui's performance, the price of the hard-earned horse also increased. As a seller, he was worthy of buyers like them.

When the time comes, whether you can kiss Fangze or not depends on your own abilities. "

But it's right to think about it. Chu Xiangqian is not only handsome, but his abilities in every aspect are unparalleled.

He secretly said that this guy is indeed a scumbag who is rumored to have seventy or eighty lovers.

Chu Xiangqian almost cursed after hearing this, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that the aristocratic circle is indeed very playful.

In addition, she is willing to spend money on Margaret and even gives her a piece of jewelry from time to time. It is normal for Margaret to fall into this.

No, even Elizabeth took the initiative to get in front of Chu Qianqian and kept mentioning Wu Zhui and the Champion Knight.

Chu Xiangqian naturally understood Elizabeth's thoughts.

If Philips went to hook up with Taylor himself, Chu Xiangqian wouldn't say anything.

Fortunately, this woman was really surrendered by Chu Xiangqian now and did not reveal Elizabeth's thoughts in front of everyone.

Just play a friendly match and don’t worry about it afterwards.

But if you refuse, you will offend this guy again.

Fortunately, in a society with normal order, robbery is taboo, but it does not prevent the nobles attending the banquet tonight from using their power to lure Ge Bai and the other nine people.

A hundred or two hundred years ago, whether it was France, England, Rome, Germany or Tsarist Russia, it would be a shame for them if their daughter-in-law was not popular.

Philips was overjoyed. In his opinion, Chu Xiangqian had already said this, so he would definitely make it clear to Taylor in advance.

From now on, whenever he sees any piece of land or property in Hong Kong Island, not only Ge Bai will help him get the documents as soon as possible, but maybe the powerful people in London will also want to do him a favor and gain a fortune. Two bloody horses as reward.

Even if you appear to be low on energy due to fatigue and perform poorly in bed, it will become news material used to hype Taylor when his reputation declines in the future.

Busy smiled and said, "Don't worry, not only will I go to the premiere by myself, but I will also bring a few big nobles along with me. I guarantee that your movie will appear on the front page of the report the next day."

Chu Qianqian laughed and gave Philips a thumbs up. Because this guy took the initiative to help with publicity, he began to think seriously about how to convince Taylor.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian would definitely not come forward in this matter herself. After thinking about it, maybe her manager would be the best candidate.

And this woman is snobbish enough. As long as she gives money or jewelry, let alone accompanying Philips, she might be able to accompany Philips to a party with many people.

Besides, it is common for Hollywood actresses to make some sacrifices in order to become famous.

Otherwise, the "red sofa" would not be so popular in the circle of Hollywood paper people.

To put it bluntly, the vast majority of paper people who like to play with red sofas pay attention to the relationship between you and me. You are given a role and you pay something. It is actually a transaction.

Moreover, given the hypocritical behavior of Chinese people who say they cannot see the nobility, but in their hearts they expect themselves to be a part of it, Taylor's connections in England will also help her development in Hollywood in the future.

What Chu didn't expect before was that he just vaguely mentioned it to Taylor, and the woman agreed with a smile on her face.

She didn't even have to wait for Roman Holiday to be released here in London before she and Philips were already chatting.

And Phillip just saw that Chu had said a few words to Taylor before, and the woman took the initiative to talk, and immediately mistakenly thought that Chu had helped him match up earlier.

I secretly thought that Chu was really a reliable person before.

Fortunately, today was not the right opportunity after all. After the dinner, Philips did not rush out to find Taylor.

But it seems that the two of them will definitely have a story in the future.

Chu Xiangqian and Margaret got in the car and returned to the villa on Kensington Garden Street. As soon as they entered the door, Margaret began to complain that her sister always wanted to take advantage of her and Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian didn't comment on this, picked up Margaret and walked to the bedroom upstairs.

The most effective way to deal with a messy woman is to stop her from thinking.

After a fight, Margaret quickly fell asleep, while Chu Xiangqian quietly got up and stood on the balcony outside the bedroom, smoking a cigar and wondering who was secretly here today. Targeting Wu Zui.

In other words, this person might not like Lindsay, but he might also be targeting him, Chu Xiangqian.

If this matter is not investigated clearly, Chu Xiangqian will always have a thorn in his heart and feel uneasy.

After thinking about it, I called Norton.

Although this boy is still young, he knows many important people because of his grandfather Mountbatten.

Add in the aristocratic children in the same circle, and you might be able to hear some useful news from some dude.

Sure enough, Norton did not disappoint Chu Xiangqian. At about 8 o'clock the next morning, he called and said that the people who bought the No. 6 horse to win the championship were some nobles from the Knights Templar.

To put it bluntly, these Knights members just couldn't stand the fact that Lindsay, a woman, kept stealing the show in speed competitions.

I am even more worried that if Wu Zhui wins again, it will affect the interests of most racecourses and horse owners in England.

Chu Qianqian thought about it for a moment and realized that as the origin of thoroughbred horses, there were not one million people in England but three to five million who relied on horse racing and horse breeding.

Although the previous champion knight was a thoroughbred horse, his birthplace was not England.

Many potential overseas buyers have begun to pay more attention to the thoroughbred horse market outside England.

This made the horse breeding industry in England, which had already begun to decline, become more and more difficult.

Even Elizabeth's horse farm is facing the dilemma of lagging behind the country's horse breeding industry in terms of management system and breeding technology.

Otherwise, why hasn’t there been a Triple Crown winner in more than ten years?

The first recorded Triple Crown was won by a female horse in 1955 and by a male horse in 1935.

Many buyers simply exclude England's male thoroughbred horses from their purchase lists.

If Wu Zhui wins again, it will become more and more obvious that the thoroughbred horses bred in England are waste.

After Chu Xiangqian knew who his opponent was, he could only give up the idea of ​​revenge.

The historical Knights Templar, although in the mid-14th century, were destroyed by the French United Holy See.

But some Templars still ran to England to escape pursuit, and slowly established a foothold in England.

Now, at least one-fifth of England's nobles have either joined or are related to this organization.

Even Philips is a member of the Knights.

After thinking about it for a moment, Chu Xiangqian quickly realized that if he wanted to deal with the enemy, he might not necessarily need to do it himself.

Sometimes money or something that represents wealth is also a powerful weapon to attack the enemy.

Soon, Norton first invited Mountbatten, and then Mountbatten and Philips invited the Duke of Devonshire to visit the ranch in the countryside.

The Devonshire family have been huge landowners in southern England for generations.

When Chu Xiangqian bought Downton Abbey, Margaret had already found Devon Hill of this generation to be her family member.

Only then did he successfully buy Downton Abbey and the 560 acres of pasture attached to it for $5000 million.

This price is 1% more expensive per acre than the 30-acre Alissa Ranch in Solvang, Los Angeles.

But considering that prices in England are much higher than those in the United States.

In addition, the manor has a history of hundreds of years, which is not comparable to the pastures in the western part of the Magnesium Country, and the price is more expensive.

Since he has some dealings with the Devonshire family, Chu Xiangqian will naturally not forget to rope him in.

After the guests arrived, Chu Xiangqian said straightforwardly that he wanted to sell his 50% stake in Wu Hao.

Philips, Mountbatten and Devonshire looked at each other and quickly guessed that Chu Xiangqian was transferring the conflict to the three of them, the great nobles in the noble pyramid.

Unfortunately, Chu Xiangqian wanted more than just money and the transfer of conflicts.

Mountbatten saw Devon Hill nodding slightly to him, then looked at Philips, and saw him nodding as well.

Then he smiled and asked Chu Qianqian, "Stark, what price do you plan to sell it for."

"There are only five days left for the second leg of the Triple Crown. If Wu Zhui wins again, I think this horse is worth more than 5 million pounds. It should be fine, right?"

Mountbatten nodded and even said with a smile, "If Wu Zui also becomes a Triple Crown horse, I think it is worth 500 million pounds."

Chu Qianqian shook his head, "I can't wait that long. I'll sell you 150% of Wu Hao's ownership for 50 million pounds, but you also have to promise me that as long as Wu Hao wins the second championship, you will start helping me deal with it." Several nobles.

And I only charge US dollars. That's $600 million. "

The three of them knew who Chu Qianqian wanted to deal with. Philips was still hesitant. After all, if he dealt with the nobles with his status, he would be breaking his own base.

But Mountbatten and Devonshire agreed directly without any hesitation.
