British 1986
Chapter 178 Super Big Toy
I have the impression that there have been several Terminator movies, but it seems that except for Terminator 2, the others are not too classic. Since Cameron said that the story will be over after 2, then the remaining few movies are probably just bad money. Well, it will depend on the situation at that time, if the audience responds really well.
This bad money is not impossible to make.
Anyway, even if his reputation is damaged, it's Cameron's business. What does it have to do with him as an investor?
As the news continues to spread, the manor has been very busy these days. Some of William and Harry's clothes and sundries have been transported, making it look like moving.
Allen looked at the newspapers of the past few days intently. There were various discussions and interpretations, and it felt like a national discussion.
He can't say anything openly now, but what Allen wants most is a name.
Only by exposing the incident between Charles and Diana first could he operate in the middle.
Moreover, this revelation should not involve him too much, and he should appear to be passive.
Everything is for a small name.
You can't become a nanny and not get any fame at all, right?
Compared to a little tidbit, what took care of the two little princes for a few days.
He was still open and aboveboard and was known to the entire British people. He, Earl Allen, temporarily acted as the guardian of the two princes at the critical moment and raised them for a period of time. This name is even better!
Temporary care and upright parenting and guardianship are two different concepts!
As long as someone continues to discuss it further, Allen can openly talk about this matter. As time goes by, who doesn't know that he, Allen, raised the two princes when they were young? !
With such an identity, it will be easier to do many things in the future, even if it is simply used as a kind of capital, it is enough.
But the development of news does not seem to continue to develop as Allen thought.
Originally, the increasingly tense situation had already sparked a national discussion, but after the New Day newspaper came out.
In more than 90% of the print media, it seems that everyone has formed a tacit understanding, and all the discussion news about Charles and Diana have disappeared!
Allen looked at the dozens of newspapers on the desk. Each newspaper looked normal. Everyone seemed to have suddenly returned to discussing the economic situation of the United States from the pleasant atmosphere of discussing gossip news.
Everything before seemed to have never happened. There were various speculations in the newspapers the day before, but the next day it was so calm!
Looking at these weird newspapers, Allen felt a little nervous
It seems that only one person in the whole of Great Britain can do this.
That person didn't seem to like Charles being brought up for discussion.
Then all the media stopped talking.
And Allen's plan seems to be a little inconsistent.
The popularity of the news suddenly disappeared, and Allen seemed to have really become no one to care about.
"Hold!"
"Master? What's wrong with you?"
Hu Te watched Allen read the newspaper, cursed angrily as he looked at it, and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Um?"
Allen raised his head and glanced at Huth.
He couldn't talk about this kind of thing to Hu Te, and he didn't want to talk to outsiders.
In this matter, Allen performed his duties conscientiously from beginning to end without any complaints.
It’s just that now that the plan is almost complete, it feels really unpleasant to be interrupted suddenly!
"By the way, young master, I need to remind you that you need to go to His Highness William's school before the summer vacation in July to complete the transfer procedures for him."
"Uh-huh?"
Allen, who was a little annoyed just now, was suddenly stunned after hearing Hu Te's words.
"Shall I apply? Go to William's school?"
"Yes, this kind of procedure usually requires parents or guardians to go through it in person. Your Highness is here with you now, so of course you need to go through it."
"???"
I didn’t expect it!
Unexpectedly, there is another village where there is a bright future.
Allen, who thought his plan had failed, didn't expect that he would need to go through the transfer procedures in person.
Allen, who had always been lazy, suddenly became motivated.
"Okay, you can call the school first to find out what you need to bring, and let me know when you can make an appointment!"
"OK."
After Hu Te finished speaking, he pointed to a yellow-covered document on the desk and said, "Master, this is the plan for your new manor, as well as the yacht information you requested."
Last month, Sony delivered the second installment of their stake in Earl Pictures on time - 400 million pounds. Adding in the 600 million pounds they gave last year, this adds up to a full billion!
Still pounds.
Recently, almost half of it has been spent on buying production lines, investments and other miscellaneous things. The remaining money is not going to be invested anymore, but will be used to improve the quality of life!
You can't make money stupidly.
He wants to enjoy it!
It only makes money, and that money is just a bunch of numbers, meaningless!
In some novels I have read before, how much money does the protagonist make? Who becomes the richest man in a province or the richest man in a continent with tens of billions of assets? Then they list a long list of assets, and then they are gone.
At most, a few harem heroines will be added, and the rest will occasionally show up with luxury cars or something.
Allen's current idea is that instead of holding such a large sum of money in his hands, he might as well buy something, such as a yacht!
Allen doesn't have much interest in private jets, at least not at the moment.
Although the airplane is good, the luxury attribute of this thing is too low. It is more like a means of transportation. If you want to take a ride on a long trip, buy an ordinary business jet with a limited number of members. Every time he goes out, he has to bring a large group of servants and bodyguards. He can't buy two or three planes, fly one by himself, and use the rest as a servant, right?
The price-performance ratio is too low. It is better to charter a plane directly and save a maintenance fee!
Last time he went to Spain, Allen was shocked by the arrogant Princess Christina. Her yacht was so luxurious!
At that time, Allen made up his mind that when he got rich in the future, he would buy himself a yacht to play on!
This is what really rich people should play. Due to the rich waterway environment throughout Europe, traveling on a yacht, whether traveling to various countries or vacationing in surrounding countries, is much more comfortable than flying!
Think about that scene. You can take a female companion, maids, and bodyguards, and go on a yacht. You can go wherever you want. You can go fishing and bask in the sun during the day. If you feel like it, you can stand on the deck in the open air. In a biology class, you can do whatever you want with abandon. Isn't this more tempting than taking a private jet?
Allen directly skipped the general plan of the new manor and picked up the yacht information below to look at it.
At present, excluding those small yachts, before the 1980s, the most popular yachts used by many wealthy people were large luxury yachts. The largest hulls could reach about 60 meters.
Later, with the development of technology, ultra-large yachts comparable to warships were developed, which are so-called super yachts.
The hull of this type of yacht has exceeded the 80-meter level!
The first page of the information is an introduction to the "Abila" superyacht, which a Saudi tycoon spent a huge sum of US$100 million to customize for his daughter.
The boat is 86 meters long, 13.23 meters wide, and has a speed of 20 knots. The interior of the boat is extremely luxurious.
This year, affected by the financial crisis, the Saudi tycoon seemed to have lost money, so he sold the superyacht to raise funds. It was purchased by an American real estate developer named Trump at a low price of US$29 million.
Looking at the high-spirited American real estate developer in the photo, Allen felt that this guy looked familiar.
The second yacht introduced is the super yacht owned by Boss Sa, a real tycoon from Iraq who is currently very famous in the world.
This is a superyacht with a length of 82 meters. It was specially customized by Boss Sa as a gift to the King of Saudi Arabia.
Looking at the introduction of this yacht, which only has 12 guest rooms, coupled with the splendid interior decoration photos, Allen not only curled his lips.
The aura of the nouveau riche was too strong, and he didn't like this style. Moreover, Allen felt that the yacht was a bit small and could not accommodate dozens of people in total. It only had more than 20 rooms, which were not enough for his servants and bodyguards. Yes, too small!
If you want to play, play big!
Turning back again, Allen gradually frowned.
These yachts had only a few references, but overall, he was not satisfied with them.
The common problem is that it is too small!
Too small for Allen.
He wants a bigger one, preferably one with two landing pads on the yacht, a close-in anti-cannon defense system, and preferably a super yacht with more rooms!
Since he was going out on a private yacht, how could he not bring more people to wait on him?
If you want to buy it, you can get it right at once.
money is not a problem!
All you need is to show off.
"I'm not very satisfied with these reference materials. What are the nearest large shipyards around us?"
Hearing Allen's question, Huth subconsciously said: "Harland and Wolff Shipyard? No, no, no."
Before he could say anything, he denied himself.
This is a well-known shipyard in Northern Ireland. How well-known is it?
They built the Titanic
But Titanic is a success or failure. They built such a famous ship. After what happened, this shipyard followed the trend and entered the military industry, and could only build warships.
Now that the young master wants to order a yacht, no matter how famous this shipyard is, because of these mysterious things, Hu Te does not want the yacht to be built by their family. It is too scary. What if something happens?
After hesitating for a moment, Huth continued: "Master, if you want to order a yacht, I still recommend going to Plymouth. After all, it is the base of the navy, the quality of the shipyard is trustworthy, and we have a relationship."
Seeing Hu Te's repeated denials, and finally recommending Plymouth, Allen thought for a while, it would be fine to go there. After all, he was buying a big item, and it would be easy to find a shipyard with reliable quality and good relationships. Necessary!
"Yeah, that's fine. You can send someone to ask. I want a very large super yacht! I need to prepare at least thirty rooms, including a swimming pool, restaurant, entertainment room, small garden, pet room, gym, For facilities such as aprons and garages, it is best to have stronger defense systems. You can ask the Navy to install two close-in defense guns. What is the approximate budget? Let me know after you find out!"
"???"
Huth can still understand things like swimming pools, pet rooms, and helipads, but what the hell is this close-range anti-cannon?
Master, are you going to build a warship?
If it were customized according to these conditions, the cost of building this superyacht would not be cheap!
Even if the economy is in a downturn and prices are low, it won't work.
"Okay. I'll arrange for someone to go there tomorrow. What about this new manor?"
"I won't read the plan of the new manor for now. Let's take it back and redo it. Prepare new rooms for William and Harry. We also need to consider what will happen if they live here all the time when they grow up? They will build separate houses. , you have to consider whether you live in the same building as me."
"yes!"
Huth took the notebook and wrote down Allen's requirements one by one. After writing, he capped the pen and prepared to go back. Before leaving, Allen stopped him again and said: "Patrice, will you come back? Give him to me." Call over."
"Okay! Please wait a moment."
"Young Master! Fortunately, I brought you the award. I thought it would be too late today and I would come back to you tomorrow to report the situation."
Patrice entered Allen's study with a glowing face holding a small scroll.
Theoretically speaking, the attention award I won this time is not a big award, it just has a nice name. As for the trophy.
Don't think about it, only the Palme d'Or, the final award, has a small trophy, like a kind of attention award, with only a certificate.
That is the small scroll that Patrice is holding.
Allen took the scroll and curled his lips. The Frenchman is really stingy. I spent tens of thousands of pounds and wouldn't even give him a trophy ornament, so why not give him a small scroll like this?
How do you show off this thing?
Do you want him to frame it and hang it on the wall?
As for Allen's study, hanging this thing on the wall would look a bit out of class!
Throwing it aside, Allen looked at Patrice and whispered: "Did the interview with Luc Besson go well?"
Patrice's smiling face, hearing Allen's words, stopped smiling visibly, and said in a low voice with a serious face: "It went smoothly, very smoothly. The person I was looking for just gave me a little guidance and asked. I asked you why you didn’t go to the film festival this year, and he spilled the beans!”
"Well, what about this guy?"
Allen didn't want others to know that these news were leaked by him on his own initiative, so he took this shill very seriously.
"Don't worry, I gave him a sum of money to go to the United States for vacation. Karl will take care of him there!"
Patrice emphasized her voice when she said the word care.
"Yes, very good. Very cautious. This is how you should deal with such a person. This will save him from running out of money one day and selling information indiscriminately."
When I heard that they were sending the other party to the United States, and the receptionist was still Old Karl, one could easily imagine the fate of this shill.
Old Carl will not let Allen down, and will definitely deal with this shill.
"This matter is over, don't mention it to other people again, you know?"
"I understand, Master!"
