Chapter 16 Meryl: Dealing with the Prime Minister is of course choosing long sentences
"With a family background of Breton immigrants, before your generation, your family had almost no contact with the civil service circles. Although my father was born in a French aristocratic family, he did not have any title, and his connection with the House of Lords family was not close.
But the offshore company under your name owns dozens of real estate and shops in the West End of London, actually controls most of the casinos in the five counties of York, and owns more farmland than the Howard family, the descendant of the Earl of Carlisle, and the largest city in Harrogate.
Several good hot springs.
The most exaggerated thing is that in 1942, when you were just 18 years old, you had two temporary jobs. At that time, you were still studying at St. Anne's Institute, right?
This is why you are only 1 year older than me, but you can retire at the age of 56 a full 9 years earlier than me.
And for each of your identities, you have a pension account equivalent to the standard of a cabinet secretary, with full contributions for 35 years!" The Iron Lady also made exclamations from time to time, "If it hadn't been for the unexpected death of your parents in 1943,
As a result, you accepted their inheritance in a hurry and without any preparation, thus leaving some traces behind. I am afraid that even MI6 will find it difficult to find any trace of your secrets and property!"
"What?" Jean (⊙o⊙) looked at Meryl and screamed in disbelief, "How is this possible? Is this fake? Are you kidding me?"
"It should be true." John had a thoughtful expression on his face, "Although I don't know your mother's specific assets, anyway, her living habits are extremely... um... how should I describe it?
...Luxury? No...extremely prodigal."
"Hey!" Meryl slapped John with an elbow in dissatisfaction, "Why did you lose your fortune!? Where did you lose your fortune? Please pay attention when you speak! My living habits are just a little wasteful at most!
You touch the hair on your head and then ask yourself whether you have the right to criticize me!"
After slapping John into silence, Meryl lowered her head and looked at Hans with a smile, "Baby, what do you think?"
"So, grandma, you are a billionaire? Although the Prime Minister keeps talking about assets, it is more of a hint, oh no, she just needs to put a sign on it saying 'Meryl has a lot of unknown secrets'
, showing off in the crowd." Hans replied nonchalantly, "Anyway, I have to learn family history sooner or later, and I will know it sooner or later, right?"
"Based on what Margaret revealed, your grandma and I have billions of assets in our name." Meryl said in a slightly teasing tone while making a face to Hans, "Hear this
Are you excited about the news?”
"Yes, yes, I know, your pension account is close to one million pounds." Hans' tone was still nonchalant, and he waved to Meryl to stop the topic.
"Millions of pounds!? That's too exaggerated! Is the pension of a civil servant that high? And there are billions of pounds of assets?" On the contrary, Jane was shocked by Hans' words.
"Civil servants in Great Britain have price-indexed pensions that are extremely enviable by others. It costs at least 650,000 pounds to buy out the pension of a permanent secretary.
Cabinet secretaries are the pinnacle of the British civil service, and only the permanent secretaries of the Treasury can compete with them in salary standards. However, their average tenure is less than 15 years.
Our Prime Minister said that my grandma’s account has been paid in full for 35 years according to the cabinet secretary standard. One million per account is a relatively conservative statement. It should be compared with directors in industries such as tobacco, oil or IBM.
standard.
As for assets, let alone real estate and farms in London, just shares in legal casinos are not accessible to ordinary people.
It seems that Churchill, who became Prime Minister after the First World War, only approved and issued single-digit licenses. Now he should have completely stopped issuing them..." Hans explained, but as he spoke, he gradually realized,
After falling into the dream, I seem to have an inexplicable paranoia about chasing money in my soul, and even the people around me are affected.
As the words died down, Hans fell into deep thought, and various scenes from the past began to appear in his mind.
"Shush!" Nova put her index finger in front of her mouth and made a soft shush to signal everyone to silence!
"What's wrong?" Meryl mouthed to Nova in confusion and asked silently.
Nova gestured to Meryl to wait a moment, then pointed at Snape, making a gesture like waving a wand to Hans to cast a spell, and then covered her ears with both hands. Snape, who understood instantly, immediately took out his hand.
He took out his wand and silently cast a spell to give Hans earplugs. "He can't hear any sound now."
"He realized something very important. Don't disturb him yet." Nova explained briefly, "I'll go deal with the Pokémon in the dream world."
"What? Wait--" Zhen was about to call Nova, but Nova had already disappeared. "Damn it, why do they only say half of what they said!"
"That's right! Mom and Dad, you two are also hiding something from us!" Jean said with a resentful tone, shifting the topic to John and Meryl.
"I think we need to know!" Iron Lady also echoed.
"You need to know something?" John looked at Meryl doubtfully, "Do you?"
"I don't think so~" Meryl couldn't help laughing.
"Oh! Come on! Let's not talk about Hans's question. What are you hiding from us?" Jean was going crazy. "I don't even know if Mrs. Thatcher doesn't tell me. It turns out that I spent more than 20 years in my life."
Nian actually lives in a wealthy family!"
"Based on the little assets Margaret revealed, do you dare to claim to be rich?" John shook his head at Jean in disappointment, and then looked at Meryl, "I should have listened to you, be so cruel.
Send him to a public school instead of letting him choose to go to a grammar school. Now it seems that although the quality of education is not very different, his vision is too narrow!"
"Huh?" Rang was very unhappy and wanted to continue questioning, but was stopped by the Iron Lady.
"Don't get hung up on the details, and more importantly, the things they hid from us!" The Iron Lady's sharp eyes swept over John and then landed on Meryl, "Don't even think about trying to prevaricate!"
"Oh~ Then I simply don't know where to start. Let me clarify your thinking first," Meryl looked at everyone with a playful look in her eyes, "At present, it seems that you think that the two of us
You should know those things that you don’t know but Hans should know but he doesn’t want you to know, so you don’t know. You only know that Hans and we are hiding it from you and you need to know but you don’t know what it is, right~”
