Chapter 188 Many Things Are Not as Difficult as Imagined
On the way to Buckingham Palace, Li Changheng took out a gift box from his pocket.
Annie, who had long been dissatisfied with Li Changheng for not giving her a gift, suddenly showed a big smile on her face.
When you open it, you will see an all-gold zodiac dragon appearing in your eyes.
After hearing the explanation about the zodiac signs, Annie suddenly became fragrant with Li Changheng in her arms.
The convoy entered Buckingham Palace. After seeing Philip, the old man started talking a lot of nonsense, but he saw that Li Changheng had an impatient expression after listening for a few minutes.
Can only let Charles, Andrew and Annie leave.
The two talked for half an hour in the study, when Li Changheng came out.
Not only did he know that he had been arranged by Philip a few days ago, that he had completed the naturalization procedures, and that he had become a dual citizen of Britain and the United States just after signing, and he also had a Grand Cross of Knighthood on his chest.
There are only 300 places for this kind of medal. I would rather not have more than one person. Not only is it honorable, but it is indeed a member of the nobility.
As for his naturalization, Li Changheng just thought about it for a few seconds and didn't object, anyway, except that the 39% shares of Panda Restaurant are under his name.
All other assets are in the name of the company on the offshore island, and the cash is all in UBS. In addition, a tax audit has been submitted to the United States in April this year, so there is no need to worry about the taxation of the United States.
As for the 20 million US dollars of Standard Chartered, it was also deposited in offshore islands, which are specially used for deposits by companies responsible for capital transactions.
This kind of company costs 100 US dollars, and he can register as many companies as he wants.
Once these companies have cross-holding, and then cancel the last transferred company, no one knows which offshore company actually holds these funds.
When Philip took out the royal family documents and signed the documents sent by Downing Street, and then stood and swore to protect the royal family, he was a serious knight in England.
As for taking the oath to protect England, he ignored the topic, and blinked at Philip. The old man looked helpless, but he didn't care in his heart.
He even turned his head with some satisfaction and waited for a minute, thinking that Li Changheng had already sworn an oath to the flag.
As for the matter of being robbed of the credit for saving lives, Li Changheng vaguely mentioned what he had done in Hong Kong and Kowloon during the half hour just now.
And Philip also didn't say it clearly, but turned the topic to family, and then the focus was on Philip saying that no matter how busy he was, he would definitely come back if he could go home.
This is to remind him that as long as he remembers to go home and remember who his wife is, Philip doesn't care what he does outside,
The two reached an agreement tacitly in this way, one will not mention credit, and the other will not mention Li Changheng's affairs in Hong Kong and Kowloon.
When he took Li Changheng out of the study room, Philip whispered to him as he walked, "The matter of the pound exchange rate has just passed, and we can no longer bear the crisis of the bankruptcy of the London Diamond Group, understand?"
"Understood", Li Changheng nodded seriously, "As long as it is confirmed that it was done by an insider, it should not escape my eyes."
"That's good".
When Philip thought of his future son-in-law beside him, he had a photographic memory.
Moreover, he was able to steal an unknown amount of British pounds from the Bank of England without anyone noticing, and became the mastermind behind the downfall of several bankers, so he suddenly felt confident.
Then he changed his mind and said with a smile, "Since you have sworn to be my knight, why don't you just be my noble guard officer?"
Li Changheng rolled his eyes, "Is it necessary?"
"Of course it is necessary," Philip said with a smile, "There are very few people I can truly trust in this day and age.
It is better to have you by my side when I go out in the future, than those who are paid, or descendants of nobles, to make me feel more at ease."
After finishing speaking, Philip said jokingly, "At least I don't have to worry that you will do something unfavorable to the royal family because of money, right!"
"That definitely won't be the case," Li Changheng still had the confidence and self-control, and said jokingly, "I should be richer than you in the future."
"That's good." Not only did Philip not doubt it, but he was a little convinced.
Then he said with a sly smile, "I'm not the richest person in England, that little fellow Grosvenor alone has more assets than me.
And to be honest, the place where I live is still his family's land, and I look forward to the future that you can buy these lands and return them to the royal family as Anne's wedding gift."
"If you want to give it to me, give it to Annie," Li Changheng curled his lips, "The future will definitely belong to me and Annie's children."
That's not necessarily the case, Philip smiled silently in his heart, "Even if it only belongs to Anne's generation, it can be regarded as really returning to the royal family."
"Let's go." Without waiting for Li Changheng to think about it, Philip patted him on the shoulder and said, "The diamond was stolen last night, and you don't have much time left."
Li Changheng followed Philip and came to the small living room where Charles and the others were. The first thing he did was to pick up the phone and call his lawyer and the law firm in the United States.
Although he doesn't care about the taxes in the United States, he still attaches great importance to the tax issues that may arise from his naturalization in England.
Before the American guy makes trouble, he can really feel at ease by checking his apparent assets again.
As for the cost of tens of thousands of dollars, compared to no trouble, he no longer cares.
The first thing he did when he saw Li Changheng was to call his lawyer. Philip, who was sitting on the sofa, nodded enthusiastically, and then saw Andrew and Charles winking at each other.
Ten seconds later, as if he had lost eye contact, Andrew got up and walked to his side, reporting in a low voice Li Changheng's dissatisfaction with the diamond valuation and the requests he made.
Philip didn't care at all about Li Changheng's desire for a seat in the Diamond League, but felt that this was in line with his character.
When Andrew said that he and Charles could get 1%, at least 2 million pounds, Philip thought for more than ten seconds before nodding in agreement.
Wait until Andrew says that Li Changheng will give Annie the African Star No. 3 diamond.
Philip, who was already very satisfied with Li Changheng, was not only more satisfied, but even shook his head at Annie after thinking about it for a few seconds.
Annie was taken aback for a moment, and then she remembered what her mother told her last night, unless she stopped loving him, Li Changheng must be more reliable than those nobles.
Anne, who was used to the chaotic private life of nobles, couldn't help but nodded silently, signaling to Philip that she understood.
And when I heard Li Changheng say in the car today that he wanted to give the 168-carat diamond to herself, Annie actually didn't care about his affairs in Hong Kong and Kowloon.
After Li Changheng finished the phone call with the lawyer, he winked at Andrew. The guy immediately nodded and stood up, "Let's go, Henry, I will accompany you to the headquarters of the London Diamond Group."
"Go, let's go together".
Seeing that his second son and Li Changheng deliberately left Charles behind, Philip smiled nonchalantly and said, "I will talk to Lord Mill-Aston about the total value of the diamonds."
"Father?"
Charles stood up in surprise and said, "You haven't been involved in business and political affairs outside the royal family for many years, let me talk to little Aston."
