Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 698: Hit the muzzle

I agree because nobles like Mountbatten know very well that even if the dishes introduced by the new hotel are ridiculously expensive, there will still be people eager to try them.

Once it is really delicious, it will definitely be very popular in Yingguo, a food desert.

The hesitation is because he is worried that if ordinary people know that the royal family is so extravagant, they will become even more disgusted with the royal family and the nobles.

Just think about ordinary people, bacon and chips for breakfast, fish and chips for lunch, and barbecue and chips at night are like this every day, and most ordinary people don't even have this standard.

Bread and jam for breakfast every day, chickpea bread for lunch, bacon and mashed potatoes with bread for dinner.

Looking at the aristocratic recipes again, I can tell that I feel unbalanced just thinking about it.

If you feel unbalanced, you will think of how difficult your life has been, and then you will become more opposed to the aristocratic system.

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes after hearing this, but he also knew that he didn't care about it, but Mountbatten and the others definitely didn't want to make the people dissatisfied just because of food.

And if it weren't for the concerns of ordinary people, the royal family wouldn't be so cautious and low-key.

Elizabeth had suffered in this area before. When she gave a speech, she only used common people to describe the lower class, and she received a lot of criticism.

In the end, it was Elizabeth's public apology that gained some public support.

So Chu Qianqian thought for a while and then said, "Then call it the princess's dining table, or the Tudor dining table."

With Margaret's pushy personality, she gave ten thousand thumbs up to the princess's table.

But Mountbatten and old Cavendish shook their heads, but before the two old guys spoke, Chu Xiangqian said, "Don't forget, I sent a 707 private jet to Peggy, and this plane is called Princess."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then shook their heads helplessly.

The private jet costing US$300 million, plus hundreds of thousands of US dollars in interior renovation costs, was widely reported by the media at the time.

Fortunately, Margaret was not stupid and did not say that this plane was sent by Chu Xiangqian.

Even though the media had great powers, they only found out in the end that the plane belonged to a fund.

When Chu Xiangqian established the m&S fund, he had already built a protective wall. Not to mention checking the owners and shareholders of the fund, he couldn't even find out where the fund was registered.

But this also put Margaret in the limelight. After all, her sister's private plane was a biplane propeller plane.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian earns millions of dollars every year because of his Los Angeles ranch, in order to pay less taxes.

Naturally, if Margaret is allowed to use the plane, her consumption will be tax deductible.

So Mountbatten and others also knew that Margaret really didn't care at all that the media said she was extravagant.

At the same time, I am secretly proud that I am spending my man's money, no matter whether you are envious or jealous.

Even the more envious and jealous she was, the happier Margaret was.

Norton and little Cavendish looked at each other and secretly thought that it would be nice to have money.

Looking at Chu's forward gaze, he couldn't help but feel a bit of envy and admiration.

At the same time, I felt more and more in my heart that if I followed Chu Qianqian, I would definitely get more than my elders.

Margaret, with a happy expression on her face, hugged Chu Qianqian's arm, stood up on tiptoes and kissed him on the face.

Not far away, Eliza and others, who were talking to several noble ladies and girls, were all surprised.

But while these women were jealous of Margaret, they also became more and more curious about Chu Xiangqian.

Everyone knew that Margaret had fallen in love with a super rich man, but now that Chu Xiangqian was so handsome, young, and exotic, it was strange not to think about it.

This was also the main reason why Chu Xiangqian said that he didn't like parties, but Margaret never persuaded him to attend.

Margaret knew all too well about the so-called upper class society, where cheating and promiscuity were commonplace.

It’s not impossible to play group matches.

So Chu Xiangqian does not attend these gatherings, and Margaret fully agrees.

Also because Margaret knew a man's virtues, she didn't care that he had other women.

Old Cavendish hesitated for a moment, but still felt uneasy and said, "It's just a restaurant. There's no need to let Peggy endorse it. Just like Stark said, it's called Tudor Restaurant."

Chu Qianqian nodded indifferently. Tudor Restaurant was named after himself anyway.

Margaret curled her lips, but didn't say much.

As for the person in charge of building the hotel, Chu Xiangqian did not hesitate and suggested that Margaret, Norton and Little Cavendish should be in charge.

Mountbatten and old Cavendish looked at each other, then looked at Philips who was a little dissatisfied, and nodded in agreement secretly.

Who makes Philips short of money? Without money, it naturally has no right to speak.

Besides, everyone knows Philip's virtue. Once he is allowed to manage the hotel, the hotel will have to close within a few years.

To be honest, in terms of influence, although Philips has a great reputation, there are more negative reviews.

My global travels in the past few years can be said to be a promiscuous journey around the world.

Nominally, he set off to Australia to attend the Olympic opening ceremony, but after the opening ceremony, Philips actually took dozens or hundreds of military officers and aristocratic children to mess around on the royal yacht for half a year.

Moreover, these guys were so stupid that they wrote down all the romantic encounters they had in the places they passed and sent them back to clubs in London.

Show off in front of club members.

The key is that the news was exposed by the media, and in order to shirk the blame, Philips also pushed out his closest friends as scapegoats. This was a huge blow to Philip's reputation. For the sake of the reputation of the royal family, Eliza had to stand up and play a show of harmony with Philip.

The most frustrating thing is that it was Philip who did something wrong, but in the end, Eliza gave in and made him a prince.

But he was only honest for a year or two, and last year he hooked up with Hollywood actress Taylor.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian was the driving force behind Taylor's matter. Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian wouldn't be able to take intimate photos of Philips and Taylor.

With these photos, if something happens to Chu Xiangqian in the future, Philips will not only dare not add insult to injury, but will also have to find ways to help him.

Even MI5 and MI6 did not dare to interrogate Chu Xiangqian, lest a royal scandal would break out and affect the situation in England as a whole.

This move is still based on the Cambridge Five.

One of them was the art consultant of the royal family. He had a photo of Philips and a woman in his hand, which frightened the Philips and his wife. Not only did they not dare to touch each other, they had to pinch their noses and let this person continue to serve as a royal consultant.

Until public opinion forced the other party to resign, he was not arrested in the end.

Seeing that no one supported him, Philips could only sulk alone and said that he would send someone to represent him and enter the board of directors.

Naturally, Chu Xiangqian and others would not refuse this request.

But in order to prevent Philips from taking people to eat and drink for free, shareholders can get discounts, but don't even think about it being free.

Otherwise, there is no need to think about it. Every year, just the entertainment expenses from shareholders can completely wipe out the hotel.

After the business was finished, the topic quickly turned to horse racing.

Chu Xiangqian actually regretted selling 50% of Wu Zui's shares to Elizabeth, Mr. and Mrs. Philips, and Mountbatten and others.

It's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, but I feel that selling 150% of the shares at a price of 50 million pounds is a bargain.

However, due to the sale of Wu Zui, who won the Triple Crown, and the publicity from Philips and others, the overall market price of sweat horses has indeed increased a lot.

Overall, I didn’t suffer any losses, but I also had a lot of troubles.

I heard that several groups of people went to several Central Asian countries to look for blood horses, and some of them succeeded.

But except for the first batch of adventurers, who brought back more than a dozen sweat horses, all subsequent adventurers were basically executed by the red polar bear who got the news.

In fact, the polar bear had long suspected that Chu Qianqian's sweat-blooded horse was stolen from the five countries in Central Asia.

Not only did they deploy manpower to search, they even organized manpower to form a cavalry, specifically waiting for Chu Qianqian's people to fall into the trap.

Unfortunately, the cavalry team was on standby for seven or eight months. At the end of 60 and at the beginning of 61, Chu Xiangqian organized two auctions in a row, but the cavalry team did not find any whereabouts.

The polar bear was forced to cancel the horse team, but unexpectedly, at the beginning of this year, Chu Xiangqian never held an auction.

It actually made many people think about organizing people to go to the five Central Asian countries.

This time he was directly hit by the polar bear's gun.

But the price of sweat-blooded horses has risen again.

To put it bluntly, the market conditions do not depend on the number of blood horses in England and Hong Kong Island, but also on the difficulty of purchasing.

The more out of stock, the higher the price will naturally be.

The more the price rises, the more senior Hong Kong officials such as Hader, Nelson, and Gebai, who have a lot of hard-earned money, will not sell it.

Chu Xiangqian was also a little scared of the red polar bear.

Lao Maozi always likes to take action directly. Once they are identified, the bloody horse he auctions is stolen from them.

It's really possible to attack Chu Qianqian without even talking about it.

So Chu Xiangqian is now waiting for the bloody horses to be given to the Celestial Dynasty to start breeding offspring.

By then, the sweat horse will no longer be a unique horse breed in several East Asian countries.

For this reason, Chu Xiangqian didn't mind sending dozens of bloody horses to the Celestial Empire.

After chatting, Chu Xiangqian pretended to be surprised and asked Norton in a low voice, why didn't your grandmother attend today's banquet?

Norton was stunned for a moment, and then said with a somewhat embarrassed expression that his grandmother was not feeling well.

Chu Xiangqian immediately guessed that Norton's grandmother Edwin might have gone to Tianzhu to have a tryst with Nehru.

This made Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but think of the information about Tianzhu's troop deployment on the plateau.

But this is actually not in a hurry, let the tit fly to the plateau, through the tit's sight, you can basically see clearly the arrangement of the Celestial Clan's troops.

The most important thing now is to find out the Celestial Clan's backward supply readiness.

Once preparations are made, it is time for Tianzhu to take the initiative to provoke or even open fire.

Fortunately, the Chinese side had been making preparations for a long time, and they would definitely not appear again. They were fighting, but the logistics could not keep up, and they had to retreat quickly when they were about to capture the capital of Tianzhu.

Moreover, Tianzhu has such courage to take the initiative to provoke and send troops. Even if it is said that there is no support from foreign forces, even a fool will not believe it.

So Chu Xiangqian actually wanted to know whether Polar Bear sent people to Tianzhu to instigate them to launch an attack on China.

If a photo of Nehru posing with a polar bear diplomat was taken, the counterattack would be more just for China.
