Chapter 360 Castles are often captured because of internal
"A few months is too long?" Philip's emotionless words shocked Wilson, who had never been exposed to this before. He looked at his grandfather and father in disbelief.
The scared look on his son's face made Charles a little unbearable, "Father."
Philip ignored Charles's worries, touched the beard on his lower bar and said quietly, "He is already 18 years old. It's time for him to get in touch with some things. Think about William's experience. Suffering is the best teacher."
.
"But William has no choice but to do so. Wilson, you and I, and you have taught me that with the current situation in the country, the king does not need so many calculations. No matter how perfect the calculation is, someone will get caught. If you are fair and just,
is the best choice.”
"Yes, I said those words, but they were forced to do so. The people did not want to see the nobles holding too much land and real estate, and they have been restricting us. Politicians kept trying to please voters and suppress us in order to get votes, which made us miserable.
Although he has a lot of wealth, he still lives in fear.
After hundreds of years of fighting, the situation shows no sign of improvement. Although we have been trying to act according to the rules set by the capitalists, for decades, apart from the profitable Grosvenor, who else has appeared in the hereditary aristocracy?
But Grosvenor can only play in real estate, a low-level business that is criticized by the public.
But things are different now. This world is basically a game of money. As long as William can achieve the ultimate in a certain industry and affect more people's livelihoods, then he can gain more say in our lives.
It will be much better,
Therefore, I must ensure that William Devonshire is on the side of the hereditary nobles, and inheriting the title is the simplest and most direct way."
Char and Wilson understood such a simple and straightforward truth as soon as they heard it. Char nodded, "That's right. Helping him is also helping ourselves in a sense. If there really is a richest man in the world among our group of hereditary nobles,
Or someone who can influence a certain industry is really beneficial to us. The only thing that worries me is that this little guy William is really stingy, and it’s not that easy to take advantage of him.”
"Did we really not take advantage of it?" Philip squinted his eyes and smiled, "William is a good man. He will not understand the benefits of wooing us. In the short term, we are indeed helping him in vain. It seems that we are at a disadvantage.
But the technologies that William brought out were all mature technologies that could already be sold on the market. The valuation of 5 billion pounds only did not allow us to take advantage of the original shares.
Think about it, it has only been a little over a month, and no less than 50 people I know have purchased more than one set of this kind of bulletproof suit. The sales this month are at least hundreds of sets. What is the concept of hundreds of sets?
A total of 500 million pounds, a company that has not yet been listed can have sales of 500 million pounds in one month, but what if it lasts a whole year?”
Char immediately replied, "Even if the market in England is saturated, it should be no problem to sell a few hundred units. If the technology is not cracked, it should be easy to sell 1,000 units a year worldwide."
"Crack, haha, let alone cracking technology, I sent people to search for nearly 20 days, and I don't even know where this suit is produced." Philip said quietly, "The Devonshire family has always been a spy.
Yeah, it’s not that easy to crack the secret from them.”
"So no one can imitate this kind of suit in the short term. One thousand suits a year, God, isn't that 5 billion pounds?"
It didn't take Charles and Wilson a few seconds to react to such a simple arithmetic problem. Thinking that the sales this year were at least several billion pounds, the unhappiness they felt about not taking advantage immediately disappeared.
No trace.
Philip looked at his son and grandson who were trying to figure it out. He twisted his lips and said, "Now that I understand, not only did we not suffer a loss, we actually took advantage. Think about it, the simplest and most direct benefit is that as long as we are shareholders of the company, then the first batch of
Isn’t it easy to get new products?
With William's money-hungry character, he limited or deliberately stretched the production of new and old products. Will those who can't buy new products ask us for help?"
Wilson laughed and said, "Grandpa, I definitely will. Someone came to me a few days ago and wanted to buy an old bulletproof suit. It seems that I have to tell William that new products must be sold in limited quantities. Only those with high status can obtain the license of our company."
If you are invited and your identity is not there, just wear the old style."
"Haha, you don't need to remind me. Based on my understanding of William, he will definitely do this," Charles, who had the most contact with William, said firmly.
Smiling and laughing, the car drove into Buckingham Palace. Before getting off the car, Philip and Charles said: "Tomorrow morning, you can tell Grosvenor something you can say about what we just said."
"Why don't you tell the Grand Duke Grosvenor now?" Wilson asked curiously.
"Telling him tomorrow will teach him a lesson. I don't have to think about it to know that Grosvenor, who has always been confused, will definitely smoke all night and cannot sleep. I heard that he has some mental problems."
Charles glanced at his father, who was staring at him, and said with a guilty conscience, "Grosvenor has serious concerns. The economic crisis has caused him heavy losses. There may be some problems. Father, I will continue to pay attention to and persuade him."
"Very good. One more thing. I heard that some people in Oxfordshire are not very friendly to William's mother, Lena Devonshire?"
"How could that happen?" This statement surprised Charles and Wilson.
"Why not? Some idiots just don't understand the formality. They use the merits of their ancestors as capital. They live like beggars but they still look down on the richest family in England. You should avoid dealing with such people in the future."
"Understood, father"
"Okay, Grandpa".
"Also, let Diane find an opportunity to visit William's mother. From now on, she is the person we should pay most attention to. Thinking about William's recent actions, you can understand that Lina is the only person William cares about in this world.
,
Why did William let Lina be the actual owner when he established the Devon Hill Family Foundation? He was filial to his mother while also preparing for certain possible situations.
Charles, Wilson, our enemies are not just ordinary people who are jealous and hate the nobles. Castles are often attacked because of internal reasons."
"Understood, father".
"Well, good night, my children."
"Good night, father", "Good night, grandfather".
Watching Philip walk into the palace, Charles pressed a button on the car door, "Drive and take Wilson and I to Kensington Palace."
"Okay, Your Highness."
Sitting in the car, Charles thought about Philip's words. When he was approaching Kensington Palace, he saw Wilson hesitant to speak, and smiled and said, "Let's go for a walk later."
"Okay, Father".
The motorcade entered Kensington Palace, and Char and Wilson got out of the car. The two walked into the garden, and Char said: "Tell me, what did you want to ask me in the car just now?"
"Father", Wilson hesitated for a few seconds and finally said: "I heard some rumors that the Earl of Oxford had a child when he was young, so why..."
