Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 836 Pulling Orders and Making Preparations

Of course, those who could have grievances with Margaret were basically all women, and most of these grievances were just jealousy, not hatred.

Moreover, with the support of her sister Eliza and brother-in-law Philip in terms of power, and Chu Xiangqian in terms of financial support, there are indeed very few people who dare to retaliate against Margaret.

In addition, because of the relationship between Chu Xiangqian and Norton, Mountbatten made a lot of profit from Chu Xiangqian.

In recent years, Mountbatten's attitude towards Margaret has changed from indifference and even neglect at the beginning to concern and care.

It is no exaggeration to say that Mountbatten’s military and political power in England in the 60s was past its peak, but his reputation was still high.

Otherwise, the relationship between Chu Xiangqian and Margaret would not only be spread among the aristocratic and celebrity circles.

But even though everyone knows about this, if you say it publicly, Yingguo Lao will still feel embarrassed.

Not to mention that the person who leaked the information was Australia, a country that is looked down upon by the people of Yingguo.

In recent years, Turkey and Austria have been causing trouble from time to time, trying to break away from the British Federation and join the arms of the Magnesium people.

In order to appease them, Philip went to Turkey several times to lobby.

Even Eliza flew to Australia with Philip to meet and appease many politicians and wealthy people, which temporarily suppressed the issue of secession from the Federation.

But this is a humiliation for the British people.

Naturally, many Ying people's attitude towards Turkey and Austria is not very good.

The Australian reporter was interrupted by the London reporter next to him halfway through his question.

Moreover, several other London reporters stared at each other fiercely with a look of shared hatred.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

It seems that his actions of keeping the champion knight on Margaret's estate and selling 50% of the ownership of Wuzhui to Philip and Mountbatten have finally paid off.

Yingguo is prejudiced and arrogant at heart. While he lives in the past, he is occasionally tolerant of some celebrities and wealthy people who come from East Asia and desert areas.

To put it bluntly, Chu Xiangqian let two champion horses participate in the English Triple Crown, and actually won the championship and broke the record.

In the eyes of Yingguo Lao, he not only has vision, but also brings fame to England's Triple Crown.

Moreover, both champion horses finally stayed in London, which was also a goodwill gesture for horse racing fans.

In Yingguo, horse racing is not only a national sport, but also more popular than football.

Whether you are rich or an ordinary person, becoming a champion horse owner is definitely one of the biggest wishes in life.

Even Elizabeth is obsessed with training a group of champion horses that can win the Triple Crown.

So even though Chu Xiangqian and Margaret were in love, the upper class and the political and business circles in Ying Kingdom had a good impression of him.

Unfortunately, 50% of the ownership of Wuzhui was eventually sold to Philip and Mountbatten.

Eliza didn't say it, but she would go to Margaret's suburban estate from time to time to see the champion knight, and it was clear that she was still very envious.

But Eliza is the king after all, and her ideas are sometimes very different from Philip's.

Wuzhui was a Arabian horse, so Eliza tried hard to convince herself that as a king, she should promote purebred horses and increase their popularity in England and around the world, so she seldom went to see Wuzhui.

Even after Wu Zhui won the Triple Crown, although she was present at the event, she did not participate in the post-match photo shoot.

After that, whenever Wu Zhui participated in other championship events, Eliza did not go to watch.

To put it bluntly, when it comes to her understanding of herself, Eliza is definitely a representative of rationality and wisdom.

From the perspective of countries, Chu Xiangqian certainly hopes that Philips will be more in the forefront.

Fortunately, the king is almost a mascot, and no matter how wise Eliza is, the role she can play is limited.

In fact, the better Eliza performed, the more she was guarded against and suppressed by the politicians in Downing Street. Chu Xiangqian had been in contact with Philip and his wife for so long, and it could be seen that they were more concerned about how long the royal family could exist.

And Philip himself is not English, so his attitude towards England is very subtle.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have done so many ridiculous things.

Of course, people in Europe and the United States have a different way of thinking from the Chinese when it comes to national and ethnic issues.

A look at England's history shows that the Anglo-Saxons are not the natives of the British Isles.

Things that are stolen cannot be legally justified.

To preach patriotism too much is to tell the Irish, Scots and Welsh about their past failures.

So whether it is the nobles in ancient times or the people in power in England today, what they say most is "God bless England, God bless the King."

While Chu Xiangqian was daydreaming, the Australian reporter also realized that he seemed to have offended both sides.

And it wasn't just reporters who attended the press conference. Many large Australian ranchers also brought their horses to test the waters.

It is also hoped that in the future the Hong Kong Island Horse Racing Auction will become a trading venue for horses produced in Australia.

By the way, Hong Kong Island can purchase more of its imported cattle and sheep from them in the future.

So several large ranchers simply ordered their employees to throw the reporter out of the press conference on the spot.

Seeing this, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but smile at the big ranchers.

The atmosphere at the subsequent press conference suddenly became harmonious.

Afterwards, Chu Xiangqian specially invited those big ranchers to dinner.

In the past, Chu Xiangqian would not have purchased cattle and sheep from them, but now, the cattle and sheep exported to Japan every year are obviously not enough.

In addition, the shipping company will add 60 Victory ships with a deadweight of 1.4 to 1.5 tons each year in the next three years.

With such a large transport capacity, it is impossible to use it all for transporting coal.

In this case, Chu Xiangqian didn't mind purchasing some cattle and sheep from Tu'ao and shipping them to Riben.

Of course, the price must be right and there must be money to be made before the business can be successful.

Decades later, international trade still has high profits.

Communication was poor back then, and information transmission was extremely slow compared to decades later.

In addition, although countries have restrictions on imported goods, they give the green light to goods that are scarce domestically.

As long as you have connections, the profits from international trade are actually very high.

However, Chu Xiangqian did not make a decision immediately.

Anyway, you will buy cattle and sheep from whomever you want, and the export price of cattle and sheep from Turkey and Austria is not necessarily lower than that from Britain and Mei.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian believes that the prices of cattle, sheep and dairy products in New Zealand, which is adjacent to Turkey and Austria, will definitely be lower.

So even though Chu Xiangqian had a good talk with those big ranch owners in Austria, he wanted to send someone to New Zealand first.

You can even go to Brazil or Argentina and see if the prices are even lower.

At the same time, international shipping cargo ships pass through these countries, which helps shipping companies open up international trade routes.

In preparation for the great development of international trade in the future, the shipping business will usher in an explosive growth period and prepare for huge profit growth.
