Chapter 647: Mackenlan Manor

"Your Highness, everything you ordered has been prepared." The Minister of Royal Affairs, Ajedine Blank, said to William respectfully.

As an orphan adopted by Arthur, Ajedine Blank's loyalty to Arthur is almost full, and he is also one of Arthur's confidants specially cultivated for the future heir to the throne.

This time, Ajedine Blank, who is proficient in economics, followed William to London. In addition to assisting William in doing some things, Ajedine was also responsible for controlling the sale of royal property.

Although William was nominally responsible for the sale of royal property, Arthur did not think that William alone could properly handle the assets of the royal consortium in London.

According to conservative estimates, the royal consortium's investment in the UK is at least more than 20 million pounds. It is not easy to handle all of it in the stock market, and it is impossible for William alone to do it.

Hearing Ajedin's words, William nodded excitedly and said to Ajedin with a smile: "Mr. Ajedin, I'm really sorry to bother you."

"It's not a bother, Your Highness. It's my honor to work for you." Ajedin shook his head and said very respectfully and sincerely.

As a civilian who lost his parents at a young age, Ajedin would never have his current life if it weren't for Arthur's relief and help.

And Ajedin also deeply remembered Arthur's kindness to him. Not only did he make every effort to study hard in school, but after graduation he also smoothly entered the royal consortium and eventually became the new Minister of Royal Affairs.

The current Prime Minister of Kent is only the nominal controller of the royal consortium, and it is Ajedin who really manages this huge industry.

Being able to hand over this consortium that makes a lot of money to Ajedin for management, you can understand Arthur's trust in Ajedin.

After all, Arthur's process of training orphans is still relatively cumbersome and complicated, and he will also go through multiple screenings during the period to select more loyal and capable subordinates for the royal family and the heir to the throne.

This includes not only the ability test, but also the loyalty test and the ideological test. A qualified royal private minister must not only be loyal to the king and the royal family, but also have good ability and be highly consistent with the interests of the royal family in terms of ideology.

It is impossible to sell all the industries in a short period of time. The London market cannot take up such a large industry, and it is easy to attract attention.

What does it mean for the Australasian royal family to sell all the industries in the UK? In the eyes of ordinary people, isn't this a symbol of a rift between the two countries?

Therefore, the news of this industry sale should be concealed as much as possible. At the same time, for the benefit of the royal family, these stocks and industries should be sold at a premium as much as possible.

How to sell these industries at a premium? William has a good plan, which is to do his best to hype up London's real estate, so that the real estate company that already belongs to him will appreciate again and achieve the purpose of stocks being snatched by the public.

Because of the stable growth of the British economy, the real estate market in London is also relatively stable. Of course, a big reason is that the real estate boom has not lasted too long, and there is no bubble in the real estate economy.

In this case, it is relatively simple to hype up real estate. William directly used his own people to start an activity about buying a house and drawing a car to win a prize.

The principle is also very simple. As long as you buy a property in William's real estate company, you can get a chance to draw a prize.

The reward is as low as one pound, and the highest reward is a car or a reward of equal value, and it is guaranteed to win 100%.

Such an activity is a big impact on the real estate market, which currently has few marketing methods. It is also foreseeable that real estate companies will have a hot sales of real estate because of this activity.

The hot sales of real estate can also further boost the company's market value, and more profits can be earned when selling company stocks.

Of course, because he was anxious to sell the real estate company, William did not think about selling it at a high price. Selling it at the market price is already good news.

When selling stocks, you have to find a way to stabilize the London stock market to avoid stock market fluctuations due to the panic of a large number of stockholders, which may cause a crisis.

If an economic crisis breaks out just after the royal consortium withdraws, it will undoubtedly attract the hatred of a large number of London stockholders.

The royal family would never do such a thing to stir up hatred. They would rather lose some profits than destroy the good relationship between the Australasian royal family and the British people.

Because such a relationship is the umbrella of Australasia, if Britain wants to change its policy with Australasia, it depends on whether the British people are willing.

Although the purpose is to withdraw most of the assets of the royal consortium, some of the assets on the surface need to be retained and held openly.

These open industries are equivalent to covering up the truth. It is impossible to withdraw all the assets of the royal consortium without anything happening. If this news is exposed, it will either destroy the relationship with the British or destroy Arthur's plan to withdraw the property in advance.

While William was plotting to increase the value of real estate so as to sell the company, Ajedine Blank had already chosen the list of companies to withdraw and retain.

The first is the Benz car factory opened in cooperation with the British, which is impossible to sell. You know, the annual profit of the Benz car factory in the UK is as high as millions of pounds, and the market value of the car factory exceeds tens of millions of pounds.

This is property jointly owned with the British aristocracy. It is impossible for the British aristocracy to sit idly by and watch the car factory go bankrupt, because this means that their income will be greatly reduced, and even their property will shrink by half.

With these nobles in charge, the car factory has nothing to worry about. It can even use the large-scale recruitment of workers in the car factory during the economic crisis to win over the British people and improve their favorability.

Benz Car Factory can also be the largest industry held by the royal consortium on the surface. Even if the royal consortium withdraws from some industries, the British people will not doubt it at all with Benz Car Factory, and just think it is a normal business sale.

"William, I heard that you are already selling some of the companies of the royal consortium?" On the third day after Ajdin Blank started the action, Duke George approached William and raised his questions.

"Yes, but this is just a normal business action. We need more funds to plan the next step." William nodded calmly and said indifferently.

As long as there are a large number of industries on the surface, then this kind of asset sale is a normal business behavior.

Duke George nodded, and he did not doubt it. Who hasn't sold their assets in this day and age?

"Can you sell the McLennan Manor of your real estate company to me? Elizabeth likes McLennan Manor very much, and it can also be used as our residence in London." George VI asked with a little embarrassment.

"Really? Of course, Your Highness George. If the Duchess likes it, I can give you the McLennan Manor." William said with a smile.

McLennan Manor is a famous property built by William's real estate company in London, and it is also the first representative work of the real estate company to gain popularity in London.

Of course, the area of ​​this manor is not too large, because it focuses on the collision of tradition and trend.

In this manor, power equipment is available, but there are also some traditional aristocratic decorations. In addition to the building, there are gardens, forests, lakes and other scenery decorations. It was once rated as one of the top ten manors in London by the London media.

It is worth mentioning that the love story of Duke George's brother Edward is worth writing, and Duke George's own love story also has many fluctuations.

Compared with Prince Edward, who has been very smart and popular since childhood, Prince Albert (public name), as the second son, his life resume is not so brilliant.

George V had a strong and strict personality. While correcting Duke George's left-handedness, he also made Duke George suffer from a serious stutter.

It was precisely because of this defect, coupled with living under the aura of his brother, that Duke George's childhood was full of loneliness and sadness, which also made him more introverted.

And Duke George's wife Elizabeth, in fact, agreed to marry him only after Duke George proposed to her many times.

And Elizabeth repeatedly disagreed to marry George VI, and the actual reason was that Elizabeth liked George VI's brother, Prince Edward.

Well, the relationship is actually so messy. After marriage, Elizabeth and Prince Edward had a relatively close relationship, and even called Edward "kind David" in a letter to Prince Edward.

And George VI was also exposed in later generations that he had beaten Elizabeth, which completely changed the impression that the couple was very loving in the eyes of the British people.

Of course, the current Duke George does not have such a bad temper. After all, Britain is still relatively strong now, and he is only the second heir to the throne. Under the premise that the aura of Prince Edward is very strong, he has no great relationship with the throne.

ps: George VI's full name is Albert Frederick Arthur George Windsor. Before he became king, he was also called Prince Albert by the public. After he succeeded to the throne, he followed Queen Victoria's will and the future British kings could not be named Albert. In addition, he wanted to emulate his father to gain the trust of the British people, so he changed his name to George VI.

At this time, Duke George still loved his wife Elizabeth. Because Elizabeth liked the Mackenran Manor, the Duke George, who was not good at socializing, took the initiative to find William and asked about his opinion on the sale of the Mackenran Manor.

Hearing William say that he would give the McLennan Manor to him, Duke George quickly shook his head: "The value of the McLennan Manor should be more than 100,000 pounds, right? Thank you for your kindness, William, but I can't do that. I am willing to buy this manor for 150,000 pounds, which is the maximum amount I can pay."
