Chapter 1111： 80 million a year?

Recommended reading:

On the way back to the castle, Yang Cheng kept muttering, "It's too expensive, too expensive!"

Carson said a few words intentionally, but his lips moved, and he didn't say a word.

Fortunately, after all, Yang Cheng is a person who has seen the world and experienced violent storms. He has returned to normal before entering the door. In his words, "My little master is the one who has been shot. I didn't have any bullets. Fate, what is a mere 20 million pounds? Isn’t it money? You can make money if you spend it!"

It is this optimistic attitude that makes him proud to quickly restore calm. In the eyes of Carson, he is particularly admired. Anyway, he has never seen anyone who can return to normal so quickly after facing such huge expenses. Yes, he was already ready for Yang Cheng to get angry and scold him.

Yang Cheng walked into the house with his front foot, and the downpour followed, as if God was crying for him.

Carson didn’t have time to talk to Yang Cheng, and he quickly ordered the servants to close the windows in each room. The castle will provide necessary ventilation every day. The ventilation system alone is not enough. The windows must be opened to allow natural wind to blow in.

Yang Cheng sent Hansen and the others to rest. Sitting on the sofa in the small living room, he was in a daze watching the pouring rain outside the window. His heart was calm, but he had to consider whether this research should continue.

Just now, he asked in detail about the use of funds and found that a large amount of the funds was used for the procurement and use of various top-level experimental equipment. Not to mention, in the past few months alone, hundreds of thousands of pounds per month The electricity bill is enough for an ordinary laboratory to drink a pot. The more advanced the instrument, the greater the demand for electricity.

And in order to achieve the greatest degree of confidentiality, the entire small building has been taken to signal shielding measures. The high-power military signal shielding device is turned on around the clock, and you know how much electricity it will consume.

Many large-scale experimental equipment will be moved into small buildings. For those researchers, many equipments are dreams of. As long as they are given enough research space, they will use their knowledge to report. Of course, the premise is Yang Cheng's financial resources can continue.

This is also the biggest problem Yang Cheng is currently facing, 20 million pounds in three months, 80 million pounds a year, this number does not seem to be too big for him, but this number is not forever. With the deepening of research, The cost will definitely be increasing, and results will be good within a few years, but what if it lasts for more than ten years or decades without any results? Isn't this a waste of money?

As an investor, he must consider the issue of the return of interest. Those who do angel investment are not really angels. They are also to maximize the benefits, invest in when you are the weakest, and silently when you gain glory Picking the biggest fruit is the essence of angel investment.

But now, it is difficult for Yang Cheng to see the hope of the project's success. Just before leaving, he specifically asked for a promise from Professor Smith, hoping to know a specific time for the results.

It's a pity that Professor Smith hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to give an accurate figure.

Actually, Yang Cheng only needs a psychological comfort. Even if Professor Smith says that for ten years, he has at least a goal and psychological comfort, right?

As a result, he didn't even get such a small comfort. It is not difficult to understand Yang Cheng's entanglement at this time.

"Master, lunch is ready, let's go to dinner first." Carson didn't know when he would come, and said softly behind Yang Cheng.

"Got it~" Yang Cheng responded, but didn't mean to get up.

Carson didn’t urge, she just stood behind him quietly. I don’t know how long it took. Yang Cheng seemed to have figured it out. She stood up and said to Carson, "Research continues. Everything is difficult at the beginning. The effect will be seen soon, then I have no reason to give up halfway, but you have to strictly control the funding. Those scientists have incredible brains and can't let them squander funding.

From now on, you are responsible for controlling the progress of the research, making sure to go down one main line before seeing the end point, don't deviate from the course halfway, and explore another road aimlessly. "

Yang Cheng’s words were a death order, and Carson could hear him, without a word of nonsense, and directly responded, "I will strictly follow your requirements to control the progress of the project."

"That's good, go to the restaurant." After the order, Yang Cheng was relieved severely as if to unload a heavy burden.

During the meal, he expressed sympathy to Earl Carnarvon who was still lying in the hospital bed. It is not to blame for this project not to see results in his hands. The lack of money these years means that it is difficult to move and can persist for so long. Earl Carnarvon is already great.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng suddenly beckoned to Carson who was waiting on the side and asked, "By the way, I suddenly remembered, how is Earl Carnarvon? Did you wake up?"

Carson shook his head regretfully, "No, at present, Earl Carnarvon may only be able to maintain his life in his current state."

Yang Cheng sadly, to put it bluntly, it is a vegetative person, there is nothing worse than this ending.

"If the Countess can help, don't refuse." If the project can progress as it is now, Earl Carnarvon's blessing has to be delayed. Otherwise, Yang Cheng would not be a bad person.

Carson replied, "It's sir, the news spreads, the aristocratic circle will treat Beihai Manor differently."

Yang Cheng snorted, "I didn't help a widow in exchange for fame. Forget it, let them say it, I don't want to be friends with them."

Using a spoon or creamy corn soup, thinking immediately jumped to the case again, "By the way, haven't you found the strange man who bought the driver?"

Carson has been following the progress of the case and knows the details of the case very well. He barely thought about it and said, "No, that person is very cunning. I gave the video evidence to Fang Jing. The driver in the accident confessed to it, and the strange man looked for it. He came to the door and threatened him with the driver's family to do things. He would be rewarded generously afterwards. The driver was forced to agree, but the footage recorded in the video was the last time they met. Since then, the strange man has not appeared."

Yang Cheng's heart cast a shadow, who is that strange man?

Thinking of things in my mind, I didn’t feel in the mood to dine slowly. I hurriedly filled my stomach and went back to the study to study the surveillance video alone. Unfortunately, Jing Fang and countless masters analyzed it hundreds of times without anything. Clues, how can Yang Cheng, a non-professional person, find anything valuable? It was just a waste of effort.

The pouring rain outside the house kept falling until late at night, and if it continued like this, the Thames would flood again.

. . .

The next day, Yang Cheng went to bed and woke up naturally, and then drove to London, where he first visited Eiffel and Earl Carnarvon, then Yang Cheng went to Kensington Palace and met with William and Princess Kate.

But the first time I saw the couple, Yang Cheng gave Princess Kate a big hug, "Kate, happy birthday, I'm sorry I didn't attend your birthday party."

Last Saturday was Kate’s 34th birthday. This woman in her early 30s is a real winner in life. Not only is she married to a real prince, she also has a pair of lovely children. Regardless of what her real life is like, at least in women around the world. In her heart, she is the object worthy of being envied.

Kate smiled and thanked, "Don't say that jason, you don't have to apologize, and I like the gift you gave me very much. Even if you don't come, you are the absolute protagonist of my party."

William also came over and teased, "Yes, your gift has even been snatched away from me, but I still have to thank you, my brother."

Yang Cheng faced William's sincere smile and punched him in the chest casually, "Our relationship doesn't have to be that way, you know, the money for that sports car is nothing to me."

That’s right, Yang Cheng gave the princess a sports car. The db9 sports car customized by Aston Martin. The midnight blue color scheme is noble and charming. It fits the princess’s temperament very well. It immediately takes everyone away at the birthday party. Sight.

Just like William said, this gift Yang Cheng is with heart.

"By the way, I heard that your film company has another new film that will premiere in London?" William invited Yang Cheng to sit down and talk, and Kate accompanied him.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Yes, it is the sequel to "Fifty Shades of Grey", called "Fifty Shades of Black", which premiered in London on January 29. The premiere of the front seat in London was very successful, and the sequel will naturally be inherited. Going on, this is a Hollywood tradition to always follow in the footsteps of success."

William nodded, "I and Kate will join in when they arrive, remember to send me the invitation letter."

Yang Cheng knew that William wanted to give back, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. Moreover, both of them knew that helping to win is not equal to the value of a sports car.

"No problem, someone will send the invitation letter to the door in a few days."

said, turned his head and looked around, and asked curiously, "Where is little George? Why didn't he see him?"

Kate raised the corners of her mouth, "He is going to kindergarten soon, and is now doing adaptive learning with the help of a tutor."

Yang Cheng said in surprise, "Is going to kindergarten so soon? How old is he?"

William turned his head and said, "Two and a half years old, this age is not too young."

"Well, which kindergarten are you going to send him to?" Yang Cheng asked casually.

Kate said, “A very popular kindergarten, called Montessori, costs 33 pounds a day, which is about 1,000 pounds a month. It is not a noble school, but a typical British middle-class consumption level.”

glanced at her husband, and then said, "This is what William and I have considered carefully. First, it is safer. It is close to home and not close to the road. It can be reached by an exclusive private path;

The second is civilian education, I hope George can grow up like ordinary children;

The third is to follow the family heritage. This is also the most important point. Both William and Harry went to this kindergarten when they were young, which was personally selected by Princess Diana. She also worked here before marrying into the royal family. "
