Chapter 2062： rich

The luxurious country houses of the nobles are surrounded by unprecedented huge gardens. Thousands of acres are still small, and the more can be counted as 10,000 acres. Most of them were designed and created by the most famous gardening designers at the time-Hoi Ren Brown and Repton.

In the 18th century, the 11th Duke of Norfolk deliberately built an area of ​​5,000 acres of gardens in order to make the owner of Fort Lauderdale, the owner of Fort Lauderdale, who had only 4,000 acres in the neighboring garden, built a 5,000-acre garden. .

But the rich and wealthy aristocrats of that era were too poor to show off their wealth. There was no other way except to expand their territory and build mansions.

Of course, it is also related to the inconvenience of transportation in that era. Nowadays, the rich are flying on private jets and want to go where to go. In that era, most of their lives were spent in their own manor. The manor has become perfect, filled with various entertainment and leisure facilities, and will not let one's life become scarce.

But now, if you want to maintain such a large piece of land, let alone the lonely nobles, even Yang Cheng, I'm afraid he will have to grit his teeth.

He now feels that Beihai Manor is too big, that is, he has a good earning ability now, but if one day he loses his ability to make money, Beihai Manor will not be able to sustain it for a few days by relying on his money.

Not to mention, dozens of servants plus Carson, the annual salary expenditure is several million pounds, so how can the nobles who live by renting the castle not be ashamed?

Therefore, Yang Cheng has always held a negative attitude towards buying a castle again. Buying it is a waste and no one will take over.

But William has said everything to this point, and it is related to the title that he may get, and Yang Cheng may not be able to bleed this time.

Speaking of it, Prince Charles is quite a legend. Not only is the Crown Prince with the longest standby time in British history, but his emotional entanglement of the century is also legendary, which greatly damaged his image among the people and also gave the United Kingdom. The royal family caused a huge impact.

But he is still recognized as the most enthusiastic prince of charity in the history of the United Kingdom, rich in talent and proficient in gardening.

The key is also quite talented in the business field, becoming the first prince in the history of the United Kingdom with a net worth of over hundreds of millions of pounds.

Prince Charles’s assets mainly come from his territory-the Duchy of Cornwall, and Charles, who is quite talented for business, will belong to his Duchy of Cornwall and operate quite well.

There are only two hereditary royal territories in the United Kingdom. No one has the right to move: one is the exclusive land of the Duke of Lancaster. It belongs to the previous British monarchs and only provides income for the monarch. Of course, this territory currently only belongs to Queen Elizabeth

The other is the Cornwall territory exclusive to the Princes of Wales. Now this territory only belongs to Prince Charles. When Prince Charles becomes the King and William succeeds the Prince of Wales, this territory will belong to Prince William.

In 1337, Edward III canonized the eldest son, Edward, the first Duke of Cornwall. Its territory includes 23 counties in England and Wales, and 135,000 acres (54,500 hectares) of land, most of which are located in southwestern England.

The current territory includes many commercial real estate, building complexes, and financial investment companies. The current Duke of Cornwall is of course the current Crown Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cornwall Charles.

Charles officially took over the Duchy of Cornwall in 1969 when he was 21 years old and actively participated in the operation of the territory.

Prior to that, Crown Prince Charles was still in Milton Keynes, a British economic center in central England, and purchased a £35 million commercial warehouse, including the Port Elliot estate in Cornwall.

The agricultural land in the Duchy of Cornwall is worth £365 million, of which 81,000 acres have been leased by 700 households.

In addition, the Dukedom also includes 5,700 acres of woodland worth 18 million pounds. Other assets of the crown prince include the Llwynywormwood estate worth 28 million pounds in Wales, 23 properties and oval cricket stadium in London, and the British ecological model town of Poundbury built by the crown prince. in.

Located in the Dorset region of southwest England, it is a territories of the British royal family. It is an ecological demonstration area built by Prince Charles using the Prince’s support fund many years ago. It is famous for its experiments in traditional and environmentally friendly living. Plus 67,460 acres of flower farms in the Dartmoor area and the Isles of Scilly.

In one year, Crown Prince Charles can obtain a stable income of 20 million pounds in the Duchy of Cornwall, which also makes the total assets of the territory exceed 1 billion pounds.

These are public accounts. The crown prince hopes that his private property is transparent. The money is obtained from the Duchy of Cornwall. It belongs to Crown Prince Charles’s own private property and not public property. To put it bluntly, he tells the public-the money I made. It has nothing to do with your dime, so no matter how I use it, don't say I used your tax money.

Of course, no matter what he thinks, after Prince Charles voluntarily chooses to pay the corresponding taxes on his personal income, the land has nothing to do with the people. It will eventually be handed over to his son, Prince William, and then to Prince George. Prince Charles has laid a good business foundation for his descendants.

Prince Charles’s assistant once said publicly, “As the Duke of Cornwall, His Royal Highness has the right to receive annual income from the territory, which is used for public affairs, private affairs, and His Highness’s charitable activities. A healthy balance sheet proves that His Royal Highness has successfully managed the territory. He is eager to operate this asset more powerfully to pass on to his next generation. UU看书"

This sentence is like everyone's surface, don't worry about my assets, they are all of my descendants!

By the way, Prince Charles once used 15 million pounds of land income to pay for Camilla’s sister Annabel Elliott, including paying interior designer fees, buying furniture and stocks. However, Clarence Palace clearly stated that Anna Bel Elliott has repaid a large part of the cost of renovation.

In addition, Prince Charles will pay for William and Kate’s family, as well as Harry Meghan’s clothing costs every year. So when many British people are madly complaining about Meghan’s big names and luxury, I’m afraid they have never thought about it. The root cause of luxury consumption was found early, and everyone's mouth was blocked.

Even if Prince Harry and Meghan choose to withdraw from the royal family and indicate that they will no longer use the royal family’s public funds, this does not mean that the couple will not continue to accept Charles’ “sponsorship”. With Prince Charles’ wealth, how could it be possible to watch their son outside Suffer?

This old guy is very good at doing business, and it is not easy for outsiders to take advantage of him, otherwise the queen will not leave him with obvious offense.
