The Portable Farm in the Siheyuan

Chapter 205 Cut off the beard in advance

For more than a century, Whampoa Dockyard has been one of the largest drydock, ship repair and shipbuilding companies in the Far East, during which it has experienced two world wars.

At its peak, the dockyard handled an average of 1960 ships per week. In , the company served the fleets of countries and nine navies.

Of course, they have not yet entered the real estate industry, but they own a large number of docks and wharf warehouses, which he often needs.

As for the shipbuilding and ship repair business, we can cooperate with his shipyard in Eagle Country to jointly expand and strengthen this business, especially focusing on the transformation to luxury yachts.

The freight business under its umbrella was separated out to form a global international logistics company. The new boss, Earl Sean Douglas, directly announced that he would invest in ten new 10,000-ton ocean-going ships, and his strength would increase rapidly!

As for another profitable business, the Hong Kong government is still considering it, that is the Hong Kong Electric Company, which is responsible for the entire Hong Kong electricity supply.

Mo Bin is very confident because he has directly stated that he wants to invest in upgrades and renovations. The current power generation capacity is not enough to cope with the future development of Hong Kong.

Moreover, he came with sincerity. Mr. Wu and Mr. Li agreed to supply Dongjiang water to Hong Kong, and he also wanted to own 30% of the shares of the Hong Kong government's water supply company, otherwise he would not have fought for it!

He plans to seize Li Huanggua's opportunity in advance. Whether it is Hong Kong or England, he should just stick to making plastic flowers!

After staying in Hong Kong for more than a month, when Mo Bin returned to London, the English League One had already ended. Bill Shankly was worthy of being a famous coach in history. After experiencing the bumps at the beginning of the season, he finally found a stable lineup and made a strong effort in the later stage to win the English League One championship. Mo Bin, as the boss, also wanted to reward them.

Earl Sean Douglas, with his fiancée Princess Alexandra, attended Chelsea Club's championship celebrations, attracting countless media coverage.

This year's World Cup in Chile was held in the South American country for the third time, and the start time was particularly early, ending from May 5th to June 30th.

Mo Bin knew nothing about this ancient World Cup. He only knew about the battle in which "Little Bird" Garrincha won the championship with the Baxi team in the absence of Pele due to injury.

He wasn't planning on going to see it, nor did he value the small amount of money, but it was good for picking up girls. He flew to Monaco with Her Royal Highness the Princess, not just for the romance in the beach villa.

Although the gambling tax in the UK is only 15%, which is not particularly high, don't forget that there is also personal income tax. Although Alexandra is a princess, she still needs to pay taxes.

His purpose of bringing him to Monaco was self-evident, which was to help his fiancée win some money here. The princess was very poor, and there was no personal income tax in Monaco.

The odds of the Eight West teams winning the championship are 1:4.5, the lowest among the sixteen teams, which shows that the bookmakers are also very optimistic about them. No one could have imagined that this World Cup would be so wild that Pele was defeated in the second game!

They approached the two largest bookmakers, but Princess Alexandra strongly objected and a huge amount of two million pounds was purchased in her name, which caused quite a stir in Europe.

The main reason is that there is not much entertainment news right now. These two are newly-crowned world celebrities. Since their engagement, their exposure rate has been quite high. Such a large investment is indeed very rare in this era.

There is another major problem, and that is John Bull’s pitiful self-esteem. The identities of these two players are not simple. One is a royal princess, the other is an imperial earl, and the future prince consort. How could he be so pessimistic about his own England team?

Mo Bin ignored everyone and went out to sea on a yacht with his fiancée. Anyone who was not a fool would know that he was the one who made the decision to place the bet. The poor princess couldn't even raise the original capital!

It's not the princess' fault that she was so devoted to him. It was mainly because Mo Bin was willing to spend so much money to pick up girls. Not only did he give her expensive and luxurious jewelry, he also gave her one million pounds for "household expenses" last time, and gave her shares in the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel for free. He also arranged for her to be a nominal chairman, earning her a high annual salary for nothing. Now he has invested another two million pounds in her!

After wandering on the sea for a few days, Mo Bin had to take the princess back to Lundun. There was no other way, as his mother-in-law had to summon him for something. Facing this famous princess, Mo Bin had to give in. He almost ruined someone else's daughter, so he had to take responsibility, even if this arrogant old lady was a typical example of favoring boys over girls.

In the British royal family, there is an extremely arrogant princess, she is Her Royal Highness Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent. Princess Marina is so arrogant that she even looks down on the Queen Mother because she is just a daughter of a noble family.

She does have the capital to do so. Her pride comes not only from her stunning appearance, but also from the elegance she exudes in her every move. In Eagle Country, people almost broke the windows to see her beauty.

Princess Marina was born in 1906. Her father was the prince of Greece and Denmark, and her mother was the Grand Duchess of Russia. As the third child in the family, she was very much loved and was predicted to be the darling of fate.

If there were no twists and turns in the future, this prophecy might really come true. When she was eleven years old, the Greek royal family was in turmoil, and the Goose royal family also collapsed, forcing her family to flee their homeland and come to live in Paris.

Princess Tianming thus became a impoverished aristocrat. She could no longer hold her head up among her royal relatives, and her self-confidence suffered a severe blow.

When she was 27 years old, she met the 31-year-old Prince George of the Eagle Kingdom. George was the fourth son of George V and the fourth uncle of Queen Elizabeth II.

Prince George is a handsome man from Windsor. He is not only tall and handsome, but also has important responsibilities in the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Whether in terms of bloodline, appearance or aesthetics, he fully meets Princess Marina's expectations. Although she doesn't know it yet, the handsome man's romantic affairs have never stopped.

She is 27 years old, but still looking for true love; he is 31 years old, but enjoying the sweetness of love. After marriage, Princess Marina chose to stick to tradition and put her husband in the most important position in her heart. Whether at home or outside, she will obey her husband's wishes.

Even in the face of humiliation and challenges from the outside world, she always maintained her patience and tenacity and always adhered to her beliefs in marriage.

Who knew that Prince George had so many lovers, even of both men and women, that in the end, the arrogant Princess Marina, who didn't want to divorce, was forced to join them if she couldn't beat them!

She insisted on maintaining the integrity of the family, but would this be recognized by the royal family? The couple's affair has become the object of ridicule by everyone, but Marina doesn't seem to care whether she can hold her head up in front of her relatives and friends. She is more concerned that the divorce should not reduce the quality of life.

In fact, to put it bluntly, she is afraid of living a hard life again. Divorce is not an option because it will drastically reduce her quality of life!

It is said that after Edward abdicated, cabinet ministers considered letting Prince George inherit the throne, and Princess Marina almost became the queen, but his reputation was too bad!

Fortunately, none of this happened. Otherwise, the Eagle royal family has always been known for its dignity. How could the king and queen maintain a decent situation if they shared a lover?

Fortunately, the Duke of Kent's life was as short as a shooting star. He died in a plane crash in 1942 at the age of 39, ending his 8-year absurd marriage.

With her husband dead and her youngest son less than a month old, Marina's life has changed dramatically. Although she once led a carefree life, she is now returning to an ordinary life.

Since she was not financially independent, she could only make ends meet by selling jewelry and artworks, plus assistance from the royal family.

The young and beautiful princess became a widow at the age of 36. Since then, she has devoted all her energy to royal duties and the education of her children. Although she is not yet 40 years old, there are obvious signs of aging on her face.
