What's going on? The head bodyguard looked at his hurried men and asked.
The boss, Mr. Devonshire, is playing dice with the hotel in the lobby. He has won five or six games in a row.
After hearing only a few games, Old Smith didn't take it to heart. He looked at his nervous subordinates and said dissatisfiedly: You are so panicked after winning five or six games. How much did he win?
Being stared at by the boss, the subordinate could only lower his head and whisper: It's more than 1 million US dollars.
Why is it only 1 million? Old Smith was surprised when he heard this number. The card games the night before yesterday were in the billions and billions. This is not like William's style. How much does he bet every time?
Each time it was only 10,000 U.S. dollars, but Devon Hill bet an exact number every time, with large payout ratios. Fortunately, he had reserved the table, so other customers could not place bets.
The words of his subordinates made Old Smith quickly understand that William went to the lobby not because he was afraid of avoiding him, but to force him to pay. If he didn't pay, William would keep playing in the hotel, but he just
Are you so confident that you can always win?
Old Smith couldn't make up his mind for a moment. Since William could cover the table and prevent other customers from following him, it meant that William was warning him that he would take money from the card game if he didn't give him money. After thinking about it, Old Smith, who felt sorry for the 3 billion U.S. dollars, decided
Wait and see, he didn't believe that William could really say: Let him come up, it's time to have a good talk with him.
Got it, boss
A few minutes later, William walked out of the elevator angrily with a check. Mr. Smith, don't you want to open a hotel? Why didn't you open the hotel just now? If you win, it will be 840 million US dollars. What's the point of giving me a check of more than 60 million now?
.
Okay, William, don't get excited. You've only been placing $10,000 for this hour, aren't you just forcing me to negotiate with you? Now that you've won, I, an old man, invite you to come up regardless of face, what else do you want? And that
The dice haven't been rolled yet, I don't think the number that came out is 6.
Of course it's 6. If you feel like it, just shake it. William felt a little regretful. He didn't just say that he won. If he won, he would have to pay, otherwise the whole Las Vegas would be waiting to close.
The old man had already given in, and William stopped pretending to be angry and sat comfortably on the chair. He entered the hall just to force Old Smith to talk to him, so that he could take the upper hand and be more beneficial to him.
Old Smith also understood William's thoughts, but he had to surrender. The poker industry is the foundation of Las Vegas. As long as customers place bets, the hotel will accept them, otherwise the hotel will be waiting to close.
Old Smith personally poured William a glass of whiskey, put a round ice cube into the glass and said:
Don’t worry, I will give you the money we agreed before. Try this first and pass the wine glass in your hand to William,
This is the Macallan Lalique 62-year-old single malt whiskey. A bottle costs 300,000 U.S. dollars. I only have this bottle, and I have always been reluctant to drink it. Today I’m giving you a bargain.
William picked up the wine glass and put it to his nose and smelled it, but didn't drink it. He didn't know how to drink at this time. He put down the wine glass and said: When will you pay? I don't have the patience to talk to you anymore.
Smith chuckled and said: I will pay the money. Aren't you interested in England Power? I hope to pay you with shares of England Power.
Seeing the old man's relaxed tone, William couldn't help but said sarcastically: Are you able to acquire the shares of England Power if you want?
Whether we can acquire it or not is our business. Just tell me whether you want a stake in England Power.
Staring at the confident old Smith, William was a little frightened. These people were closely related. The acquisition of England Electric Power was not just about having money. Whether the acquisition could be successful or not depended on the wishes of the English government.
If he were on his own, he would definitely not be able to handle the English government. How many shares can someone help to acquire William Yele's peace of mind?
In addition to the fact that we already have 16 shares, I guarantee that I can acquire more than 17 shares for you, so that your total shares will exceed 33. England Power basically has the final say.
Haha, the market value of 33 shares is only US$1.7 billion. Do you think I am an idiot, Mr. Smith?
Then let me give you a complete Aston Martin. This car company is probably worth about 500 million US dollars now, and don’t forget that even if you acquire it yourself, not only will you have to pay the brokerage commission, but you will also have to buy it yourself.
Get rid of the English government,
I don’t think the British government will hand over this 100-year-old company to a person like you who is less than 20 years old. The remaining money will be regarded as our public relations fees. I guarantee that the shares will be in your name within a week.
.
A week? When William heard this keyword, he thought to himself that people like Old Smith still have shares in England Electricity. Otherwise, it would be impossible to acquire so many shares from the stock market in one week. The share price of a large purchase would immediately increase.
It will rise to the sky.
William sat in a chair and thought about whether it was worth it. It would indeed be more for him to spend 3 billion US dollars in cash for a few years than 33, but the stock price would not always rise. After a year or two, the stock market would pick up, and the price would not.
This price is now.
But people like 33 Old Smith might be able to raise it all without going to the market to acquire it, so wouldn’t he be a fool if he agreed?
40 and all the assets of Aston Martin, plus all the shares of Chelsea, otherwise I just want cash, Mr. Smith, England Power is not necessary for me, I invest in this infrastructure enterprise just to strengthen Devon
The social influence of the Er family in England,
England does not only have England Electricity. If it fails, I can acquire water and natural gas pipeline companies. US$3 billion is enough for me to acquire any of the water and natural gas pipeline companies, so this is my final bottom line.
This time, Smith didn't take long to agree to William. He was not sure that he could kill William, but he felt that there was a higher possibility of being killed by William. For his own sake, Smith could only grit his teeth and nod in agreement.
But the meat that was about to enter his mouth suddenly lost a large piece of meat, which made Old Smith feel very unhappy. After making an agreement with William, nothing happened between the two of them, and the lawyer would take care of the rest.
The two shook hands with a smile, and William stood up to leave. He also had to be careful about this old man.
