Chapter 259 Britain's richest man
"Eight billion pounds?"
"This is a letter from Nord Royal Oil Company. If you are interested, they are willing to come to Hong Kong City to discuss with you in detail."
Looking at Allen and the envelope in his hand, Li Xiaohan was very complicated inside. She didn't know how she should face this. Nord Royal Oil Company shares were a gift given to Li Muqing by Joseph. What does it mean to buy it back now?
Allen understood Li Xiaohan's inner doubts, but he couldn't help with such a thing. If you just talk about the value of this matter, it would naturally not be worth it, because every year it would bring more than 1.5 billion pounds of shareholder dividends to Li Xiaohan. But... many things cannot be judged by value.
"Butler Allen, what should I do about this?"
"This is your business, Countess. But..."
“But what?”
"But you should understand one thing, Lord Earl loves you very much."
Love me very much...
Thinking back on all the things, although the love was not very obvious, she could feel Joseph's love for her, and she gradually felt relieved when she recalled this incident.
The most valuable thing about Nord Royal Oil Company is not its annual income but its birth gift for Li Muqing. This is what Li Xiaohan values the most. It has nothing to do with money or value.
"Sister, brother-in-law's phone number."
Li Xiaohan's heart trembled, and it depends on what Joseph is about to say.
Seeing Li Xiaohan return to the bedroom with trepidation, Allen was not very worried. He was a cunning old guy. He saw Joseph's purpose from the bottom of the matter. At the same time, he could also guess why Li Xiaohan was worried and what he was worried about.
"Han!"
"Um."
“The scenery in Harbor City is pretty good!”
"It's OK, at least it's very familiar here."
What is familiar with is not the people and places, but the yellow skin and dark hair all over the streets. Even though Li Xiaohan didn't understand what they said, she still felt that it was very friendly.
"Since you like it, you can live in Port City in the future. If you have time, I will go there to visit you. At the same time, it is closer to the mainland, so you can also go home in your spare time."
Living in Hong Kong City... Li Xiaohan was a little frightened, but as she relaxed a little, what she feared the most was that because of Kate, he had to give up her and Li Muqing. If that was true, even if he had billions of wealth, Li Xiaohan would be uneasy and felt that everything was destroyed.
It’s not that she loves Joseph very much, but that a traditional female husband like her is everything, and she never thought of marrying anyone else. This is Li Xiaohan, a Chinese woman born in the 1970s.
"I just received a letter from Nord Royal Oil."
"I called you because of this, afraid that you will misunderstand. How about it?"
"I don't know."
Li Xiaohan is telling the truth, and Joseph also believes that she really doesn't know what to do. In response, Joseph said: "Sign the contract! In the future, Scotland and Harbor City will be your territory and Mu Qing's territory. I will rely on you to entertain you in the past."
"It's not the territory of Mu Qing and me, but the Aberdeen family."
"Yes, it's the Aberdeen family."
Li Xiaohan's cuteness made Joseph chuckled. Li Xiaohan was very dissatisfied, but after all, he was a daughter's mother and Li Xiaoxi was there next to her, so she resisted not being coquettish.
"That's it! I will arrange for people from the oil company to go as soon as possible. I believe it's not good to bear huge debts!"
He hung up the phone happily, but Li Xiaoxi next to him was very dissatisfied: "Sister, I haven't talked to my brother-in-law yet, how can you hang up?"
"What do you want to say to your brother-in-law?"
"A gift! He hasn't come to see us for so long. He should have someone give me a gift."
Li Xiaoxi's look of destiny made Li Xiaohan a little helpless, but she had no choice but to her sister and went out to discuss the follow-up to this matter with Allen.
...
Nord Palace
Abner glanced at Joseph and reminded carefully: "The Nord Royal Oil Company may not be able to provide 8 billion pounds in the accounts."
"No? During the Gulf War..."
"The oil wells were added on a large scale some time ago. They owed Royal Heavy Industry's project costs of tens of billions of euros in credit. This time, most of them were spent on repayment, and there were some new additions of well drilling and oil production machinery."
“How much can an oil company take out?”
"There are about five billion to exchange for pounds. Should the extra 3 billion be paid in your account..."
"You look at the arrangement! Remember, don't let Kate know about this."
"I understand, your Majesty."
Abner hates doing such things very much. He is still the one who is accidentally leaked and is unlucky. If you don’t hide it, Kate may not have anything, but you hide it...
"Butler Abna!"
"Uh... His Highness Charlie!"
Charlie blinked and said to Abner, "What did my dad say just now? I heard a little!"
Abner never expected to meet Charlie around the corner, let alone hear something, so he was a little embarrassed, or very embarrassed.
"I understand your suffering. It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. Remember, it's hidden from my mother!"
"I……"
Abner didn't know about it, and he didn't expect him to say it at all. He just came here specifically to tease him, maybe he was helping his mother teach him a little lesson!
His Majesty was so smart when he was young, and now His Highness Charlie is so. It seems that God is destined to make the Ragna family rise - Abner thought in his heart.
On April 20, 1991, a delegation from Nord Royal Petroleum Group arrived at Harbor City.
On the afternoon of April 20, 1991, the delegation visited the Countess of Aberdeen.
"Mr. Allen, are you the representative of Ms. Li Xiaohan?"
"Yes, I'll handle the relevant matters. In fact, we are all our own people, so there is no need to be too troublesome. Just signing an agreement. It's good for both of us to complete it quickly."
"Butler Allen is right, the press conference matters..."
"What does your majesty mean?"
"If my wife wants to gain a firm foothold in Port City, there is one level that she must pass."
"Then do it according to your Majesty's wishes."
...
On April 21, 1991, the Aberdeen Group held a press conference, which mainly announced that the Aberdeen Group was about to sell 20% of the shares of Nord Royal Oil Company, and the transaction price reached 8 billion pounds.
Harbor City was shocked, Asia was shocked, and the world was shocked.
Regarding the transactions in 1991, this time it is the highest. Eighty billion pounds into US dollars is also 16 billion, while those into Hong Kong dollars are 130 billion. What a terrifying figure that is self-evident.
On the day of the press conference, media from Singapore, Japan, Taipei, Hong Kong City, the United States, and European countries arrived at the scene. Li Xiaohan was also called the new richest man in the UK on the same day.
Eighty billion pounds of cash, more than 10,000 acres of land, castles, small towns, and Standard Chartered Bank stocks and ports worth about 6 billion pounds. If Li Xiaohan cannot be the richest man in the UK, then it can only be said that there are too many rich people in the UK, but if there are so many, the British economy will not fall to this point.
On April 23, 1991, the Queen of England wanted to invite the new British richest man, Windsor Castle, to dinner, and Li Xiaohan responded to agree to this invitation.
On April 25, 1991, the press conference on Standard Chartered Bank transactions was officially held. Because of the previous incident, this press conference did not cause much sensation, but it is undeniable that the next whole month will probably be news reports about Li Xiaohan.
The three sensitive words Aberdeen Group, Countess of Aberdeen and Li Xiaohan have reached the top in Microsoft's search, and the index is nearly twice as high as the second place.
Windsor Castle, England
"This is our first time meeting!"
"Her Majesty the Queen."
"No need to be polite. If we are on the other hand, our identities are equal."
The queen is very kind, and Li Xiaohan is not too afraid. The two of them are talking pretty well. At least they both have a good impression of each other.
"This is your daughter Alice!"
"That's right, but we usually like to call her Li Muqing."
A trace of tenderness flashed in Li Xiaohan's clear eyes. If Joseph was her god, then Li Muqing was everything for her. She must not give up, and she can give up everything for her.
Windsor Castle may not be as noble as Buckingham Palace, but it also has its own quaintness and elegance, which is a place with a strong political atmosphere than Buckingham Palace. This is the home of the Queen and her family.
In the lobby, the queen squatted beside the car and gently stroked the little guy's pink face, while Li Xiaohan stood there watching this loving scene.
"She is Christian?"
"No, Joseph let her into the Anglican Church."
"Good choice. If I could be her godmother, you have no objection!"
"No, no."
Compared to Joseph, the upstart who represents imperial power, the queen in front of him may be the leader of imperial power. How could Li Xiaohan refuse her words?
"Alice, Alice Joseph Ragner, Duchess of Aberdeen, I have a cousin who has no heirs, and if you want, I want to give her title to Alice."
The title matter is naturally not so casual, but the Aberdeen family and the royal family also have some bloodlines. If the queen speaks and stubbornly modify the cousin's will, I believe no one will object.
...
"Dukese? The Queen of England is very willing to do so. What is her request?"
"She hopes the Countess can invest in a subway, which will be about £1.5 billion, with a return period of 10 years and a return rate of 10 percent."
10% of the year, which means 150 million pounds per year, is just enough to recover the cost in 10 years. If calculated based on the normal operating interest rate, the stable income of 1.5 billion pounds in ten years should be able to reach 1 billion pounds, which is not counted as principal.
"Han agrees?"
"She didn't refuse."
"Ha! My silly girl, but it was also as I expected."
"That Majesty..."
"Can't let them be relaxed, the American man named Soros started to move?"
"He is going to short the pound next year. Do we want it..."
"Of course, since Her Majesty the Queen dares to do this, we can also give them a little lesson to make the turmoil more violent!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better and faster!
