Chapter 296: Divide, Win over and Then Divide

I don't believe that 50,000 or 100,000 pounds are placed in front of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper who spread the rumors, and he can't help but keep silent.

As for threatening those editor-in-chiefs, Li Changheng is not that stupid.

To deal with the media, threats are the last resort.

You never know if you will meet a tough guy, and sometimes it is so helpless that 1 out of 100 will just let you meet.

Once the evidence is obtained, they will be invited to the police station for investigation, and then spend a lot of money and time waiting for the lawyers to win the case.

Even if you win in the end, the blow to your reputation and prestige will not be small.

If 100,000 pounds is not enough, then 200,000.

If that's not enough, set up a bureau.

Whether it is addicted to gambling or a woman, anyway, it is more cost-effective and more effective than direct threats.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng suddenly realized that as long as the media in England did not stand against him.

Then those old men who were staring at him were the same thing.

Without the burden in your heart, it is actually not difficult to deal with these people.

Exchange interests with some people and form a network of relationships with money.

Even if some people are unhappy, disgusted, or even hostile to him, they dare not jump out alone to offend those who have already benefited from Li Changheng's side.

If a force is formed, it is a big deal to come up with an idea and continue to divide and win.

After thinking about it, it finally came to an end.

Then Li Changheng suddenly realized that he still had a high opinion of this group of nobles.

Just having status but no money and no real power has already made the nobles realize the reality.

In other words, the backbone of this group of people has long been bent by England's honest guests.

In addition to the vague flattery, and the constant praise of Anne's beauty, kindness, and the most precious rose in England.

Amidst the greed and eagerness, Li Changheng didn't feel the slightest hostility.

It's right to think about it a little bit, we haven't started talking yet, even if we don't like him, we will pretend to like him for the sake of money.

As for the hostility, it will have to wait until after repeated talks, but there will be no agreement.

Since they all wanted to talk, Li Changheng assumed a humble and polite attitude, and dealt with this group of old guys who could at least be his uncles, most of them were grandparents.

Charles and Andrew looked at Li Changheng, no matter what anyone said, as long as everyone looked at him and wanted to hear his opinion, they would always say something.

Immediately, I felt that my brothers were too useless.

There was a time when Charles was oppressed by a few old guys and didn't know what to say.

Then I heard that Li Changheng could easily shift the topics he didn't want to answer, such as England's economy, the prospects of which industry, etc., to other things.

The two brothers felt that Li Changheng seemed to be really kind to them.

At least it wasn't that difficult or perfunctory when asking him for ideas to make money.

Not to mention fooling Earl Hoddle, who opened his 400-year-old castle into a place for ordinary people to get married, take wedding dresses, and hold wedding celebrations.

Li Changheng smiled and watched a group of old men twitch their mouths, but he thought in his heart, if Earl Hoddle really listened to him.

This group of people will probably care more about his opinion in the future.

After all, the future has already been explained.

Whether they are natives of England, or newlyweds in Europe, the United States and Asia, the interest in taking wedding dresses in real noble castles is not low.

In the future, many castles in England will rely on this business to not only earn money and maintenance fees, but some people even simply turn the castles into castle hotels.

The three-day price is as high as 100,000 US dollars.

Moreover, during the non-rainy season in England, even good business could not be received.

Looking at the hesitant Hodl, Li Changheng smiled and said, "Count Hodl, how about we make a bet?"

"bet?"

"We love this."

The people present immediately joined in.

And other people are not stupid. Using Hoddle as an experiment can also make everyone more sure whether the young man in front of him is really as magical and powerful as the newspaper said.

Li Changheng watched dozens of echoing voices, and didn't care what Hodell thought.

"It's May 21st, and we're going to use two months as a deadline.

I will pay you 20,000 pounds first, as a wedding dress for these two months.

And affect the quiet life of you and your family.

There may also be compensation fees related to privacy due to the interior decoration, furnishings, etc. of the castle being photographed.

If in two months, the money earned from shooting wedding dresses is not 10,000 pounds.

Not only do I not want these two months' income, but also the £20,000 already paid to you.

I will pay you another £100,000 to sponsor the maintenance of Hoddle Castle. "

As soon as Li Changheng finished speaking, someone exclaimed, "God, there is no loss if you lose. If you win at least 120,000 pounds, it will be yours. Hoddle, why are you still hesitating?"

Then the others didn't care what Hoddle was thinking at all, and they kept persuading him who was always hesitant.

Such a clear, never-losing bet, but Hodel has been hesitating, which instead made Li Changheng suspicious.

Blinking at Andrew, whose eyes were full of annoyance at this time.

Andrew, who had long regretted why he hadn't been pestering Li Changheng all the time these days, desperately asking for ideas, immediately stood up and said.

"Gentlemen, the Earl of Hoddle should be worried about privacy, and some parts of their family's Castle Howard have not been repaired due to the fire ten years ago and the shortage of funds.

But Castle Howard is not the only place in Yorkshire. I plan to buy Skipton Castle and use it as a wedding shooting location as Henry said.

And Yorkshire Cathedral can definitely meet all the expectations of any Catholic newlyweds for the church.

What's more, as the duke of the fief, I am obliged to help Yorkshire find more sources of income. "

After finishing speaking, Andrew pulled Li Changheng and said, "Henry, can we talk in private?"

"Wait", the people present wanted to drag Li Changheng away when they saw Andrew, and quit immediately.

Soon, two people turned sideways slightly, faintly blocking Andrew's way of leaving.

Then everyone looked at Philip, "Your Majesty, there are many castles in England, but since they are used for taking wedding dresses for couples, you have to consider the weather and traffic.

Castle Howard is in the north, and Yorkshire is an industrial county not suitable for tourism.

In southern counties with better weather and scenery, there are some well-preserved castles with perfect scenery and traffic. "

The nobles with a dozen fiefdoms in the south immediately joined in.

Li Changheng saw the other people's faces darken, and the corners of their mouths turned up, and he laughed heartily.

There is no need to provoke, this group of people has already begun to divide and fight secretly.

"Henry?"

Philip looked at Li Changheng helplessly.

When he was sitting on the main seat just now, when he saw Li Changheng's eyes squinted, he knew in his heart what this little guy was planning again.

Now look at the upturned corners of his mouth, and look at the three groups of nobles who are already blushing even though they fought without a fight.

They still don't understand that Li Changheng was trying to divide and win over just now.
