night.
On the beach, Ling Zhou looked at Chen Yiru.
Chen Yiru pursed her lips, glanced at Ling Zhou, and said carefully: "Your Highness, His Majesty agreed to your plan and agreed to transfer the 16 billion funds to your name. He also agreed that you can do charity, but..."
"But what? Sister Yiru, when did you become so hesitant?"
Ling Zhou said unhappily.
Chen Yiru was speechless and could only say: "The royal family recommends that you set up a charity fund in your name."
"That's great! By setting up a fund, we can properly use the funds for charity and provide housing for more people in need. That's what I think too!"
Ling Zhou was puzzled, and then he was stunned, and asked strangely: "Sister Yiru, the royal family doesn't mean to use all the 16 billion for charity?"
“No.”
Chen Yiru whispered, "But...but His Majesty the King only allows you to freely use 1 billion US dollars. The remaining 15 billion needs to be invested in the fund plan gradually within 10 years."
Ling Zhou was speechless. He raised his head and looked at the starry sky.
At this moment, he had a feeling that he had fallen into the hole he had dug.
charitable……
He is not against doing charity, but this is 16 billion US dollars!
Oh my God! When did my father become so generous?
It's not that he underestimated his father, but as a monarch, everything he did was related to the interests of the kingdom.
So, he felt something was wrong.
He felt that his father might have other plans.
But he didn't think much about it, believing that his father would not cheat him.
He also knew that his parents did this to control his spending and not let him spend too much. If he had the right spending goals, he believed his parents wouldn't say anything even if he spent all the 1.6 million.
Money is meant to be spent.
Moreover, his parents' clear attitude towards the $1 billion at his disposal was to squander it.
This made him speechless. He had already made money, okay?
He shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
The system tasks have not been issued yet, so there is no point in asking for too much money.
Not bad for having $1 billion in pocket money.
"Yes! Okay, but inform the royal family that we will announce to the public that we will invest $1 billion to establish a charity fund plan. The remaining funds can be increased according to the situation. In addition, if I want to use the remaining $15 billion, I must have the right to freely dispose of it at any time."
Ling Zhou thought for a moment and said.
Chen Yiru was stunned, nodded, and said, "Okay, Your Highness."
She was just reporting, and she felt that according to past practice, the royal family would not reject Ling Zhou's proposal.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing."
Chen Yiru picked up a tablet computer, took a look at it, and said, "At present, Jiahang Games has completed the basic program for the development of Angry Birds. Regarding the design of 2D animation original pictures, the company's R&D director Zhao Jiani called and wanted to discuss it with you and consult your opinion."
Chen Yiru said.
At the same time, she was also curious. Could it be that her Highness also had an extraordinary talent in gaming? Otherwise, why would even professionals come to consult the opinions of her Highness, an outsider?
Hearing this, Ling Zhou nodded and said, "Let them do the preliminary work first, regarding the original design. I will go to the company when I return to Lanling." After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the vast dark sea without saying anything else.
Seeing this, Chen Yiru stood behind him silently without saying anything.
She found that Ling Zhou often fell into deep thought these days.
She didn't know that Ling Zhou had the idea of living two lives after all, and when he had nothing to do, he would always fall into his own thoughts.
After a while, Ling Zhou opened the system and looked at a [Dahongpao Tea Tree] in the system mall, and felt a little moved.
He also loved tea in his previous life, but the conditions did not allow it, and he did not have enough time to enjoy the leisure time. The most he could do was buy some cheap tea.
But I also yearn for Dahongpao, a famous tea with a long history.
He was thinking, how to transplant this Dahongpao tea tree?
You can't just conjure up a tea tree out of thin air.
After enjoying the sea breeze and looking at the sea for a while, feeling a little sleepy, Ling Zhou took Chen Yiru back to the villa.
With the help of the maid, Ling Zhou took a bath, changed into a nightgown, and lay on the bed.
A pretty maid was kneeling on the bed, massaging Ling Zhou's shoulders gently.
On the other hand, Chen Yiru reported what Ling Zhou had instructed to the Lanling royal family.
…
Lanling, the palace.
In the hall of the main palace, Ling Wenbo, Liang Hui, and her sister were sitting in the living room chatting.
After receiving the information reported by Chen Yiru, Ling Wenbo shook his head, while Liang Hui and Ling Xinlan beside him laughed.
They were not surprised at all by the request made to Ling Zhou.
"Father, I guessed right."
Ling Lanxin said with a smile, she knew that her brother would not honestly hand over the entire 16 billion US dollars and give it to charity.
Ling Wenbo glared at his daughter. In private, he was no different from an ordinary father, and his monarch's aura was also restrained a lot.
"Dad, I can't understand why you want your brother to donate so much money to charity. Although charity can enhance the reputation of our royal family, it doesn't seem to be very meaningful. Of course, I'm not against charity, but the amount of money is a bit large. I agree with your suggestion. An investment of $1 billion is enough to let the world know about our royal family's good deeds and enhance our royal family's international reputation."
Ling Lanxin asked her doubts.
Ling Wenbo tapped the table with his fingers. He did not answer his daughter's question, but instead talked about something unrelated. "I heard that Xiaozhou has been getting close to the guy from the Freese family recently? He even traded an island with him?"
Ling Lan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. This was a natural thing for her.
"Tell that kid that I promised him this. He can spend the $16 billion as he pleases. But if I find out that he squanders money and becomes addicted to gambling, I will... deduct his pocket money for three years when he comes back."
Ling Wenbo thought about it and didn't say anything harsh.
Ling Lanxin looked at her mother and smiled silently.
All in all, Ling Wenbo proposed to do charity, although he may have other purposes, but the most important one is probably that he was afraid that Ling Zhou would have a large amount of money in his hands, squander it without restraint, and develop bad habits, such as Hess Freese's gambling addiction.
"Dad, I believe my brother won't let you down. By the way, my brother said he brought us gifts, and everyone of us will get one." Ling Lanxin said with a smile.
Ling Wenbo shook his head, took a sip of tea, stood up and left the living room with his wife.
Seeing this, Ling Lanxin smiled, informed Chen Yiru of the results of the discussion with her father, and asked Chen Yiru to tell his brother.
