Shavi looked at it, then smiled bitterly, "Mr. Semit, there is another hidden truth in this. The valuation of 1.05 million was already considered high at that time..."

After listening to Shavi's words, Burt understood why these two priceless leases were so cheap.

It can be traced back to the British team occupying Egypt in 1882. At that time, Charles Andrill was not the Sultan, but the family he represented had a large amount of land and mines in Egypt, including these two.

The scope covered by the lease. At that time, the British colonial army strongly took over Egyptian military and politics. The Andrier family couldn't help but worry about their future situation. At the same time, in order to safeguard the British side, they sold part of the ownership and part of it.

Then it was changed to a 'blank lease' without a tenant...

The Andrier family produced more than ten such blank leases that year, accounting for 80% of their total ownership. After all, the Andrier family still had a slight fantasy, thinking that one day the British team would withdraw, and they themselves

The family can re-take Egypt. Therefore, they can change the lease and change the lease to minimize the sale of ownership.

As the heir to the Andrill family, Charles was given these two blank leases, but at that time, this lease was ridiculed and a useless existence.

Why? Because the British are not fools, of course they will not be confused by the Andrier family's behavior of covering up their ears. The ownership change to the blank lease? Yes, but several conditions must be met!...

First, the lease shall take effect at least ten years later (i.e., after 1892);

Second, no matter who the leased person is, whether he paid the rent to the Andrier family or not, he must pay taxes to the British government in proportion to the market price at that time (i.e. after the lease takes effect, the UK will also

need to take some oil);

Third, and most demanding, the lease is effective. It must be approved by the king of at least one Commonwealth. Otherwise, the British government has the right to declare the lease invalid and even have the right to convert it into a sale order (also

That is to say, the lessee must be a person recognized by the Commonwealth, otherwise the lease will either not take effect, or if it does not meet the regulations after it takes effect, it will be forced to buy and sell by the UK).

Finally, there are some cumbersome conditions for transfer, mortgage, and cashing out blank leases...

However, the most important thing is the first three items. Once these three conditions are released, the value of the blank lease is reduced by more than ten times!!

This is also the fundamental reason why Charles accepted two blank leases when he deposited his estate at Winterthur Bank to estimate it for only £1.05 million.

Even in the later years, during the regular annual assessment of Winterthur Bank, experts agreed that the £1.05 million valuation was too high...

"…Mr. Semit, do you understand now?"

Shavi straightened his waist, licked his dry lips, and said to Burt, who was stunned and dazed, "These two blank leases have three major conditions and are basically impossible to really take effect. I won't say anything else.

Take the third point as an example. How difficult it is to obtain the consent of a Commonwealth king! Everyone knows that unless the Queen of England nods, no Commonwealth king will risk admitting that the lease is valid.

of!"

Berte didn't listen to Shavi's 'faithful words', because at this moment, he felt like a mountain collapse and a tsunami had happened in his heart. He was so excited that he could not help but sigh: "Oh, my God, how lucky he should be

!Ten years ago, the constraints set in Egypt seemed to be tailor-made for the Earl of the North Sea! The king's agreement, oh, that's not just the count nodding? Green is also lucky, if not the touch

When he arrived at the Earl, these two leases would only be worse than pieces of waste paper in his hands!”

Burt took a deep breath and tried to calm his mood. He glanced at Greene, who was confused, and wanted to write, drew a few circles on the list in his hand, and threw the list to Greene.

"These are two solutions I have provided for you to choose from! You have heard a little bit just now, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it very much. As long as you know, if you choose a blank lease, you will face a huge gambling and win

If you lose, you will lose everything. Humph, it will be your life, you will choose it yourself!"

Burt felt complicated and unconventional. He didn't know whether he was envious or jealous of the ignorant Green, so he thought about it and decided to let the goddess of fate decide whether Green should enjoy this great wealth.

Two plans, one is safe, and won 2 million deposits, 300,000 bonds and three mines with a total price of more than 400,000 yuan, while the other includes two blank leases worth 1.05 million pounds, 300,000 yuan.

Deposits, 300,000 bonds, cruise ships worth more than 1 million yuan and several small mines.

Green took the list, just glanced lightly, then smiled and looked up: "My life is already as rotten as mud, how can I do if I don't bet bigger? Hehe, I chose a blank lease. Even if it's not worth a penny in the future, I

Isn’t there any other property of more than 1 million pounds? Besides, I believe that Lord Earl will not let me 'bury everything'!"

Alas, good luck boy, this is what the goddess of fate means?

Burt sighed in his heart, then took the list back and handed it to Shawei: "Go, freeze all the things that are circled with squares on it! Remember to disclose and hide the relevant fees, and withdraw them from him in the future.

Deduct the deposit!”

The handling fee is not much, but Burt's unbalanced mentality is slightly better when he does this.

But he didn't know that Green was not betting at all. He and Long Hao had just made a deal. Although Green was young, he also knew that Long Hao would not easily turn these two blank contract orders into waste paper!

Because the purpose of Longhao's transaction is to control Egypt's resources, and these two contract orders are the best excuses!

While Burt, Shavi and Green were busy at Winterthur Bank, Long Hao and Weifeng were walking fast and had already returned to the hotel in the afterglow of the star.

Along the way, Weifeng couldn't help but ask Long Hao a question.

"Master, did you call Burt in advance? How do you know that the inheritance that Princess Gemma received will be stored in the bank?"

"Hey. You have been to Huaxia Town for a short time, so I don't know much about Joe Jin and Ford! Simply put, I have been on guard against Gemma for a long time, so I notified Joe Jin to check for Charles for me recently

Five years of activities in Europe! He is the sultan of Egypt, with a big goal and easy to check. After Jokin found out, he told me that Charles had stayed in Switzerland for a short time six years ago, and this was with Gemma

It is not difficult to guess that Charles has left the legacy in Switzerland and is ready to leave it to his illegitimate son Green Neil."

"Wow, Master, you are really a brilliant idea and have a far-sighted vision!"

"Okay, stop flattering! With this skill, practice alchemy quickly. Create the potion to relieve the sleepiness of me!"

"Ah? It's me again!"

In fact, Long Hao guessed that Charles's estate was stored in Swiss banks, which was not as simple as he told Weifeng. If he hadn't known that the Swiss banking industry had the rules of "only recognize passwords but not people", it would be particularly suitable for huge assets.

He would not let Joekin send a man to find Charles' transaction records in Swiss banks for him. Fortunately, the bank Charles chose Winterthur happened to be the Fold family holding company.

Otherwise, Burt would have to use his connections to search for other Swiss banks in secret. He would not be as leisurely as he is now. He has been staying in the Venus Hotel for coffee and cigars these days.

Long Hao and the other entered the hotel. It was exactly six:30. Weifeng used the golden source to create the "anti medicine". He was about to use it, but he was stunned for a moment. Then he asked Long Hao questions.

"Young Master, how do you use this potion? Both princesses fell asleep, and it was not easy to pour into their stomachs!"

"Why don't you use your brain? Here, give me the potion!" Long Hao rolled his eyes and grabbed the test tube from Weifeng's hand.

"Compared with the young master, I'm stupid..." Wei Feng murmured aggrievedly, but after walking a few steps, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Ah, I understand, Master, you want to mouth to mouth, take this medicine

Let the two princesses pour it down! Well, no wonder you have to snatch the potion from me in a hurry!”

Uh, is this young master so anxious and so unbearable?

When Long Hao heard this, he staggered, his chest was stuffy, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He turned his head and glared at Wei Feng with an ambiguous smile on his face: "Is this young master the kind of person who takes advantage of others' danger? Wei Feng, you are a little

At a young age, what messes are in your head? Who did you learn from? When you return to Huaxia Town, you must go back to school to reshape your thoughts and then build morals!”

Long Hao got angry, and Wei Feng quickly lowered his head and said nothing, but in his heart, he was saying: Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to Mo are black. Young Master, I will follow you every day, who else can I learn from?

"Hmph, you must be saying things like Zhu Zhe Chi in your heart. Don't think I don't know!"

Long Hao shouted, almost made Weifeng think that his young master had mastered his heart and enlightened. He quickly looked up and was surprised and confused: "Weifeng, come with me, see the young master's method, and give me some potion, it's okay to use it.

Is it that low-level to feed the mouth?"

Walking into Princess Shelinmire's room, Long Hao stood in front of the bed, then pulled the test tube plug and poured half of the potion into his palm.

Next, the golden source emerged, and the golden light flashed. The liquid potion seemed to be poured into a kettle that added fire, and bubbling... This process lasted only a few seconds, and the potion evaporated from the liquid to the vapor state, changing

The blue mist floated directly above Princess Schellingmere.

The blue vapor mist slowly sinks, and at a progress visible to the naked eye, it merges into Schellingmere's body without leaving any rest... The breeze was stunned, and the princess on the bed frowned, as if she was about to wake up.

"Go and go to Gemma's room!"

Long Hao pulled the breeze and quickly slipped to the next door, and according to law, he also melted the remaining half of the potion into Princess Gemma's body.

After doing all this, Long Hao and Wei Feng tiptoed back to their room, closed the door, and then quietly waited for the two princesses to wake up.

During this interval, Wei Feng sighed: "You can still take the potion like this, Huh... the young master's methods are really unpredictable!"

"You are unpredictable! When you become an alchemist, you can vaporize the potion as long as you spend a little energy and control it at will within a certain range! What's so surprising about this?"

Long Hao angrily knocked Wei Feng's head, "By the way, how much energy is your golden source? Haven't it reached 100 yet?"

...

Gemma shook her long eyelashes, and she opened her eyes softly, feeling the corners of her mouth wet and salty. They were tears in the dream that were flowing.

"What's wrong with me? I actually had such a dream!" Gemma's pink little mouth opened and closed, and lowered in a voice that only he could hear: "I haven't dreamed for many years, and I thought I had already done it.

It forgot…”

Gemma was lying on the bed, feeling very strange: Logically speaking, it was a strange thing that he would sleep so soundly when he was only one step away from success.

"Today I'm going to take out the inheritance of my partial father..."

Gemma raised her hand, revealing her white lotus arms, touched her hair, and when she touched the blond hairpin, she felt relieved as if she was falling into a heavy stone: "Who can know, to this point, I, Jay

How much did Mar Andrill pay, how much pain did he suffer? How many more did he suffer?"

The dreams that are still clear, familiar fragments, and realistic scenes make Gemma's crystal-like beautiful eyes ripples...

Gemma Andrill, although she looks like a loli, she is actually twenty years old this year!

In the autumn of 1872, a maid in the Andrier family gave birth to a baby girl in the kitchen. At that time, Charles was granted a piece of land. He was in a good mood and regarded this as his "illegitimate daughter"

The baby girl was officially included in Andrill's genealogy and named Gemma.

Gemma not only completely inherited the beautiful appearance of her mother, but also showed unparalleled intelligence since she was a child, so even though she had no mother (the maid died the second year after she gave birth to Gemma), Charles decided to go to the palace.

Receive the best education in the Egyptian royal family.

That time was Gemma's happiest day. She didn't remember that she had no mother. She only knew. In the royal school, teachers praised her for her intelligence every day, and classmates envied her snow-white skin every day, and returned home.
