Chapter 219 Things that Are Common in the Future Now Look Like Black Technology

Seeing Andrew's hesitant expression, if Grosvenor hadn't walked over, Li Changheng would have liked to punch him in the face.

"I'll settle accounts with you later."

After straightening out his suit, Li Changheng smiled and stretched out his hand, and said to Grosvenor, who had a somewhat conversing expression, "Good morning, Your Excellency the Grand Duke."

Grosvenor, who has just graduated from high school, probably has been staying in his own manor and rarely sees strangers.

Or seeing that Li Changheng actually patted Andrew's cheek with his hand just now.

Immediately, I thought of what I learned from nobles like Bell, Jeffrey, and Fred that Li Changheng would use boxing matches, playing ball, and other reasons when he was angry, and beat people when he saw the opportunity.

As soon as he grabbed Li Changheng's hand, he didn't care about his status as a duke at all. It was the etiquette for him to extend his hand first when he wanted to shake hands. "Morning, Henry, you still call me Lard like Andrew and the others."

"Okay, Lard."

Looking at the future in front of him, Grosvenor will become the richest man in England because of the real estate business all over the world, and the value of the land alone.

Li Changheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there is a technology in this world called reincarnation, and the person you can't envy even if you want to, is the young man in front of you.

In the next two decades, due to the continuous decline in national strength, although England has developed very well in industries such as finance, real estate, and shipping, the income of employees in manufacturing and waiters has continued to decline.

As a result, the rich are getting richer, the propertyless and low-income citizens are getting poorer, the number of unemployed people in the East End of London and the old city has increased year by year, and law and order has become chaotic.

Many middle- and high-income earners in these two urban areas have all moved to live in the west and north districts, which has stimulated the land prices in these two districts to rise year by year.

Of course, the most profitable one is the Grosvenor family, which owns a large amount of land and real estate in the West District.

In the future, the value of this young nobleman in front of him will soar from the current 200 million pounds to more than 9 billion pounds.

Not to mention directly outperforming inflation, it also turned the Grosvenor family, which had been a local owner in England, into a multinational company with real estate all over the world.

Fortunately, when he thought that his wealth at this time was all earned by himself, Li Changheng instantly felt that the Grosvenor family was like that.

"Charles should have told you why I invited you to meet?"

Grosvenor nodded, "Henry, before the negotiation, I want to say sorry first, so as not to affect our friendship."

Li Changheng nodded with a smile, and immediately understood in his heart that buying land is not so easy.

Grosvenor straightened his mind, and said a little embarrassedly, "Although London's economy is in a downturn, you know that the land owned by the Grosvenor family has been passed down for more than three hundred years.

Whether it was a good economic year or World War II when a lot of buildings in the West End were bombed, we never thought about selling the land, so I can only say sorry. "

"No need to apologize," Li Changheng smiled and took out a thin document stacked vertically from the inner pocket of his suit.

"This is a copy of the patent certificate of the induction cooker. This electronic product can be heated without flames. It is not only suitable for any pots and kettles, but its cost is almost the same as that of the current liquefied gas stove.

Moreover, for those urban areas without gas pipelines, this new stove will definitely become their first choice. "

"Is there a real thing?"

This kind of kitchen utensils that many families are unwilling to use in the future is definitely a bit of black technology in this era.

The more novel something is, the more attractive it is to the 18-year-old Grosvenor.

Of course, attraction is only the first step. When he sees that he can fry steak in a pan, stew mashed potatoes, and make coffee without using fire.

Maybe treat the cooker like a smartphone.

As for some side effects caused by staying within 40 cm of the induction cooker for a long time, no one cares about it at all in this era.

"Steven," Li Changheng casually threw the car keys to the other party, "Help me move the picnic box in the trunk, thank you."

Bringing Andrew and Grosvenor to the timing booth beside the runway, Steven and three bodyguards quickly set up the folding table.

Li Changheng casually took out an induction cooker from a cardboard box, which instantly surprised Andrew, Grosvenor, and even the bodyguards like Steven.

Since it is used for display, of course it must be good-looking, beautiful and concise.

Just a 40 by 40 cm thick glass block on the top floor is enough to make everyone's eyes bright.

Although there is no touch screen, it is only a manual rotary switch, which makes people feel simple, convenient and easy to understand.

Putting the small steel kettle in the middle of the glass, inside the intentionally drawn circle, Li Changheng unscrewed a glass bottle of mineral water and poured it into the kettle, then turned on the induction cooker.

Lifting his left hand, he looked at the second hand of the watch and said to Steven, "Tell Anne for me, I'm making coffee."

"Yes sir".

Three minutes later, the kettle with only 800 milliliters began to emit white mist. The 20-year-old Andrew and the 18-year-old Grosvenor exclaimed again and again.

It only took more than ten minutes for Li Changheng to wait. Not only did he make coffee, but he also made two strawberry pies for 8 people. Annie also came running over on horseback.

Jumping off the horse, he crawled through the gap in the middle of the fence, and saw Li Changheng put the pie on the dinner plate and served it to him along with the coffee.

"Thank you," Annie kissed Li Changheng on the face with a smile on her face, took a sip of coffee, and then greeted Grosvenor.

"Good morning, Ralph."

"Good morning, Your Highness."

With a ready-made induction cooker as a demonstration, Grosvenor silently thought that this new kitchen utensil could sell better than liquefied gas stoves and household oil stoves just by reducing the chance of fire.

Pulling Andrew to the side and muttering for a while, he apologized and interrupted Li Changheng and Annie who were lying together.

“Henry, how much does this product cost?”

"In terms of mass production, the cheapest induction cooker should be controlled within 4 pounds. As for the luxury version," Li Changheng shrugged, "It depends on what is called luxury, but the cost of this induction cooker is 30 pounds.

It should be able to get down to £20 for industrial, high-volume production. "

Grosvenor didn't care about the deluxe version or the custom-made induction cooker at all. He thought for a while and said, "The cost of £4 is a bit expensive."

Li Changheng shrugged with a smile. As soon as Grosvenor spoke, he knew that this kid was belittling and lowering the price.

"One-twenty-fifth of the per capita monthly income in London is not expensive, and as long as the European and American markets are opened, it is not difficult to sell a million units a year."

"And you have to understand, Lard, what I'm selling is patents, and when you feel that you can't produce them, you can license the patents to manufacturers in various countries.

While you are a manufacturer yourself, you can also collect royalties.

Not to mention much, it is still very easy to earn millions of pounds a year. "

"Then why don't you do it yourself?"
