Chapter 357: Change the land and don't care about them
Philip knew that without a satisfactory explanation of the land matter, he would not have any hope of cooperating with William.
Sitting on the sofa silently thinking about the gains and losses, Philip asked after a long time, "I want to know how much you value the new body armor company, and whether you mentioned the land to the Duke of Devon. I remember it was me at the time.
I jointly promised you with him, and now if I am the one who fulfills the promise, what compensation will I get?"
"Compensation?" William shook his head funny, "This is something you promised me. Whether you complete it alone or with Grand Duke Devon has nothing to do with me. I only want the result."
Waving his hand to stop Wilson who wanted to speak, William smiled and said to Philip, "However, if you are more sincere than the Duke of Devon, then I will be more inclined to your side for any good projects in the future."
"But", just as Wilson was about to say something, he felt the hand of his father, Prince Charles, on the back of his hand.
When Prince Charles saw Wilson looking at him, he patted the back of Wilson's hand with a smile. Wilson who wanted to speak immediately shut up and sat down.
Philip glanced at his son and grandson. Although Wilson had always performed very well, it depends on who he was compared with. Compared with William, who was only one and a half years older than Wilson, the difference was too far, which made Philip feel a little
The feeling of helplessness that I can’t even touch the car’s taillights.
But he also thought that what he wanted was the heir to the king in peacetime. If Wilson was like William, that would not necessarily be a good thing, and the country might be in chaos because of this.
Thinking about this, Philip became satisfied with Wilson again, and said to William with a smile on his face, "Very good, give me a few days, I will help you settle the land matter, but there is a prerequisite, I am only responsible for convincing the city of Oxford
Congressman, I guarantee that they will not stop you from purchasing. As for how much land you can buy from landowners and at what price, it is your own business."
"Of course", William agreed without even thinking about it. All he wanted was the approval of the parliament. The other issue was money. During the economic crisis, some landlords were almost unable to survive. Even if the price was increased for 3 floors, William would have to pay for 5 floors.
I don't care, because the current land price has more than doubled compared to last year.
As for the unfavorable factors of low land returns and slow results, William didn't care. He didn't make money from land. Buying tens of thousands of acres of land would be a good deal. He was about to become an earl. How could he be called a noble if he didn't have a large piece of land?
?
If he loses money, then leave it vacant and use it as a pasture. A pasture as big as tens of thousands of football fields can make people happy just looking at it, and it can also be used as a pasture for his hard-working horses.
"Since you need to deal with those politicians, how about doing me a favor?"
"You say", Philip said with a smile.
"I want to demolish the Stamford Stadium and build a new, modern stadium that can seat more than 60,000 people. The reconstruction must be approved by Fulham District Council."
"Wait a minute, William, you should ask Grosvenor for this matter. He will definitely have a way to help you, whether it's rebuilding or finding a new address." Philip smiled and looked at Grosvenor, "Grosvenor
But the man who claims to own half of London, I remember the property to the west next to Stanford Stadium seems to be him."
"Really", William looked at the Grand Duke Grosvenor in surprise, "It seems that today's meeting is God's arrangement. Lord Grosvenor, you will not refuse the request of a junior."
These words made Wilson, who had been listening, roll his eyes. He couldn't help but compare himself with William. It seemed that he still hadn't imitated William's shamelessness. A few seconds ago, William ignored the Archduke Grosvenor.
He ignored her, but as soon as he asked for help, his expression and tone immediately changed.
"Haha, no, you don't have to worry that I will refuse, because I also want to invest in your new company, and I will do so in the name of my child, Hugh Grosvenor. I won't give you any cash, because Hugh is in his name.
No money, but if you want land in London, we can have a good chat and maybe I can give you some advice on your new stadium."
William held out his hand for Grosvenor to continue.
"My suggestion is that I sell you the community next door to the west of Stanford Stadium. The land is three times the size of the current Chelsea Stadium. It is enough area for you to build any stadium. After the new stadium is built, you can demolish the old stadium.
Build a high-rise community,
Compensate me with 2.5 times or 3 times the residential area, so that not only will no one gossip, but your new stadium plus the supporting area can become 3 times the size. Although it costs more, the land price compensates you in disguise, and
Although my land has become smaller, I can get a new building 2.5 times the size without spending a penny."
This is a good idea. William didn't dwell on whether it was 2.5 times or 3 times. Once the building is built, it will only be a few floors high, so the cost will not increase too much.
Although Grosvenor got 2.5 or 3 times the housing area, the rest was at a disadvantage. It would not only cost money to clear out the tenants, but it would also be very troublesome.
The second time cost is that even if a Chinese infrastructure company is hired for the new stadium, no matter how fast it is, it won’t be possible until a year or two. If you wait for the old stadium to be demolished, you will have to wait another year. It won’t take two years to build a community.
possible,
Third, although the buildings have become taller, the land has become smaller, which will actually be a disadvantage in the long run.
But Grosvenor is not an idiot. Although he will suffer a loss by doing this, he will lose time. As long as he can buy a stake in William's new company, he will definitely not suffer a loss in terms of money, and he can leave a share of the non-foundation for his son without any hidden dangers.
of wealth.
The wealth of Nishidera's family is all in the family foundation. If the money is broken down, it actually does not belong to Grosvenor himself. In his early years, in order to avoid those who peeked at his family's wealth, he had to set up a family foundation.
But although his wealth has been preserved, he has had enough over the years that he has to follow the rules of the foundation when he needs to use money.
It is foreseeable that after his death, his son Hugh Grosvenor will be in the same situation as him. He seems to be a super rich man, but wealth cannot be controlled at will.
Now using the wealth of the family foundation to exchange his son for a ticket on the super ship William, no fool would hesitate. Besides, the foundation has not suffered any losses in its accounts. Those who have always disliked him want to cause trouble.
It's not that easy.
As for the inheritance tax issue that his son will face in the future, he has nothing to do with it. After all, he has already gone to see God at that time. No matter how difficult it is, won't he donate his wealth to the family foundation again?
"As for the Parliament," Grosvenor smiled, "William, if you don't mind donating some money to Fulham District, and at the same time calling on the fans to get them to take action, and do some projects or projects that will not affect the schedule and cost.
Procuring to merchants in Fulham District, I guarantee that our plan will be approved by the District Council in less than a week. As long as Fulham District Council agrees, the London City Council actually does not have to deal with them."
