Chapter 716 Super Big Drain Pana Valley

Li Changheng's special bulletproof Rolls-Royce, under the protection of four escort vehicles, was driving all the way to Manhattan.

Leaning on the back seat, he thought helplessly that as his achievements and wealth became more and more prominent, the royal family could not decide anything about him, but the number of people around Anne increased.

Of course, if I disagree, even King Philip and my father-in-law's persuasion will be useless.

But Anne is a princess after all. Based on the principle that the more people she serves, the more important her status in the royal family is, she really can't have only 13 people around her.

Otherwise, even Anne's aunt, Princess Margaery, was treated better than her.

So from the original 13 people including butlers, maids, and trump card agents, it became a team of more than 30 people.

The treatment is not only higher than that of Andrew, the second heir, but only 2 people less than Charles' entourage.

If Li Changheng didn't agree to this matter, Annie would be secretly sad if she didn't say anything.

After all, not to mention the messy conflicts of interests, just the importance of parents, let Anne, who was taught to give way to Charles and Andrew before the age of 16, wanted to refuse intellectually, but she was absolutely unwilling in her heart.

It costs £800,000 a year to support these people and the necessary security expenses.

Of course, this money can also be reimbursed by the royal family. After all, Anne's security forces belong to Philip.

And the money came from Downing Street.

But Li Changheng didn't want the people around him to be out of his control.

And this may be the direct cause of the problematic attitude of these royal guards.

Being sent to protect Annie, there would definitely be no problem with his loyalty to the royal family, so it was fine to obey Annie completely, but it was hard to say for Li Changheng.

After all, he not only has English nationality, but also American identity.

In addition, except for the first one or two years, Li Changheng has never fulfilled his royal duties in recent years.

In the past two years or so, the center of gravity has long since shifted from England to the United States, and I have not even returned to England for more than a year.

Some English people who watched England's economy go from bad to worse, with unemployment soaring and international influence plummeting.

How much I had wishful thinking for him at the beginning, but now I am so disappointed.

After all, the origin of these guards is either soldiers who are highly recognized by the royal family, or special personnel trained by ace agents.

While supporting the royal family, of course, he also hopes that Li Changheng, as a hereditary nobleman and Anne's fiancé, can do something for England.

Li Changheng didn't really give up, or looked down on the declining England. After all, he still understood the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit.

But people rush to help without asking for help, that's not great, that's cheap.

Not to mention Lee Jang Hyung was never a great guy.

Fortunately, the maids and other servants managed by Butler Meryl are as professional as ever.

However, the working attitude of the royal guards is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Some people are still very serious and responsible, but there are definitely people who are fooling around, or in other words, people who are eager to be transferred back to England.

If it weren't for loyalty, Li Changheng felt that apart from his own guards, ordinary knight shield members could not compare with the royal guards.

He had driven them all away long ago.

The only thing that satisfies him is that among the new maids are specially trained ace agents.

Moreover, Harry Hart told the identities of the four agents at the beginning.

As for whether there are other people who have concealed their identities, Li Changheng knows that there must be, and even Meryl's housekeeper must be biased towards England.

So as long as there is no problem with loyalty, no matter how powerful Li Changheng is, he can't control many things.

As for the issue of confidentiality, he kept all the secrets he could remember anyway.

It had to be written down, and it was hidden so that even Annie didn't know where it was.

Plus Annie wasn't stupid herself.

Not to mention that the two are already engaged, even before the engagement, Annie, who had favored Li Changheng for a long time, did not tell her parents everything.

Not to mention two older brothers.

At 7:00 p.m., the convoy entered upper Manhattan and arrived at Taylor Garnell's residence just around the corner.

Banks, who was sitting in the passenger seat of a Rolls-Royce, saw a wine shop.

Suddenly thinking of something in my heart, I turned to Li Changheng and asked, "Boss, Her Highness Anne and Butler Meryl, did they forget the prepared gifts because of what you said earlier?"

Li Changheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

Then he nodded to Banks, "Find a place to buy some red wine and cigars."

Tyler Garnell is no matter how you say it is a friend. It is really rude to go to his house for the first time to attend a banquet with empty hands.

Fortunately, the first time Americans come to their door, they usually give red wine, whiskey or something.

If you have the ability, you can give it more expensive, if you can’t, you can give it cheaper, but indeed, one or two bottles of wine can be regarded as a gift.

Banks nodded, pointed to the wine sales store and the blade not far away and said a few words.

Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered the convoy to turn around.

Li Changheng wasn't interested in getting out of the car at first, after all, Banksy can definitely handle buying a bottle of wine.

I can see the introduction of Oak Town, Pana Valley, California written on the wine store, and I immediately think of it.

In a few years, it seems that the wines of Pana Valley will get full marks in various competitions one after another.

Then, from being only a little famous in California, it became popular all over the United States in a short period of time, and there are even major new wine producing areas with considerable reputation in the world.

The price has also risen rapidly from a few dollars to two to three hundred dollars for medium-to-high-end red wine to more than a dozen to thousands of dollars.

Even for the first time, in certain years with good weather, the overall average price is more expensive than the French Bordeaux production area and even the four major wineries.

You must know that Pana Valley is at least 7 times larger than Bordeaux, and there are too many low-end red wines that appear because of winemakers.

And within twenty years, the price of Portuguese land in Pana Valley will skyrocket from a few thousand dollars per acre to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Then, in a dozen years, it will rise to millions, and even individual wineries will sell for hundreds of millions of dollars.

If Li Changheng has no idea about the increase of dozens of times, it's okay to say, since he found out, of course he will not let it go.

And at this time, by picking up the loopholes, you can definitely buy a large number of vineyards, and then integrate them into a super winery with a length of several kilometers, or even more than ten kilometers.

When the time comes to select grapes with extremely strict standards, it will be easy to artificially create high-end brands.

Then use a large number of unselected grapes to create a second label, and use sales to make money and maintain the operation of the winery.

Patting Banks on the shoulder, "Have someone get out of the car and go in and have a look."

Banks quickly misunderstood that Li Changheng wanted to go in and choose the red wine himself.

Pick up the walkie-talkie and get Tom Davis' squad off the bus.

A few minutes later, Li Changheng entered the wine store under the guard of more than a dozen people.
