The free compliments from a rich man like William made Hunter feel very comfortable, but he was indeed a little too busy, and he was a little embarrassed about William's calculations.
But William was a person who would never give up until he reached his goal. He thought for a moment and then said:
"Perhaps I can ask Chef Gordon Ramsay from Gordon's Restaurant in Chelsea, England, to be your assistant, which will reduce your workload and you can also exchange cooking skills together."
"I know Gordon Ramsay. His restaurant was recently promoted to three Michelin stars." This suggestion made Hunter excited.
There are not many opportunities for exchanges between Michelin three-star chefs. They are usually too busy. Now being able to communicate with a new three-star chef is also an opportunity for Hunter to understand the tastes of the new generation.
Moreover, the salary given by William was too generous. US$1.5 million for three days was a huge sum of money for someone like Hunter who had been famous for a long time.
But preparing a banquet is not that simple. Hunter thought for a while and said: "Mr. Devonshire, do we need to provide the food purchasing, banquet tableware, kitchen utensils, waiters, etc. from our restaurant?"
"Of course" William said without thinking: "The 1.5 million is the salary of your team, and any other expenses will be paid by me.
But I hope that all the things related to the banquet will be handed over to your restaurant, and I will just pay."
Hunter was both happy and depressed about William's attitude of just paying and not doing anything.
The happy thing is that as long as the banquet is successfully held, William will be happy to pay, but the sad thing is that he has more things to be responsible for.
Once he decides to take charge, it will not be a matter of three days, but preparations will start from now on. Thinking about it, 1.5 million US dollars actually bought him more than a month in the future.
"Can you tell me how many guests there are at the banquet? What is your budget for the banquet? Are all matters related to the banquet left to our restaurant? Also,,"
"Stop", William interrupted Hunter again, "I don't know how many people will be at the banquet, but the initial budget is 5 million US dollars. If it is not enough, I will increase the budget as long as the expenses are used reasonably.
One last time, I only care about paying the money and finding someone to check the accounts. You can handle everything else by yourself.
As for how much money your restaurant can make, that depends on your ability. As long as it’s reasonable and can withstand audits, I don’t care even if it ends up costing 10 million US dollars.”
"That's great, a banquet worth between five million and ten million dollars. I think mothers all over the world will be envious of Mrs. Devonshire."
Hunter lowered his head and thought for a moment. With this order of at least 5 million US dollars, the other shareholders of the restaurant would definitely not reject it.
However, after he said sorry, he took out his mobile phone and called the shareholders. As expected, within a few minutes, the shareholders agreed without any resistance in the face of 5 million or even 10 million US dollars.
Hunter walked back with a smile, nodded to William and said: "It's a pleasure to cooperate, Mr. Devonshire."
"Haha", William laughed a few times, feeling very proud in his heart. Apart from giving birth to children and getting sick, there is no Michelin chef in the world who cannot afford to hire. Even if there is, it is because the money is not enough.
"Happy cooperation, Hunter. My personal lawyer will be responsible for the rest of the matter. You can contact him if you have any needs."
"Understood, Mr. Devonshire," Hunter said after thinking for a while, "I don't have much time left. If possible, I would like to contact your personal lawyer now. I have a lot of work to communicate with him."
"Very good, I like your dedication." With outsiders around, William didn't want to be too advanced on Sunday, so he could only pretend to take out his mobile phone and say "Anthony" to the phone, and soon a beep came from the phone.
beep.
Even this surprised everyone around him except Ambrosio. They were not only surprised that William only needed to say his name and the phone would automatically dial.
I was even more surprised by the large-screen, full-screen phone without buttons in William’s hand.
But no matter how surprised these people are, they can only watch. He will not give this kind of mobile phone to outsiders.
The mobile phone and glasses given to Bond some time ago were all self-destructible after reminding Bond several times on Sunday after the mission.
The same goes for the equipment given to the Suicide Squad. All equipment will self-destruct after the mission is over.
"Dudu" Anthony, who was sleeping at home in London, was suddenly woken up by the sound of a phone call. After his wife slapped him irritably, he got up and took the phone to look at it.
All the depression disappeared. After answering the phone, he said respectfully: "Good evening, Mr. Devonshire, what are your orders?"
William told Anthony about the birthday party for his mother.
After listening to William's instructions, Anthony wailed in his heart and complained a little: "Sir, I'm almost overwhelmed. You can't leave everything to me. I'm just your personal lawyer, not your housekeeper."
"Haha", William said with a smile: "What is your annual salary?"
"One million pounds," Anthony replied somewhat guiltily. He thought William was reminding him that William paid for it.
But Anthony didn't worry for a few seconds. William said: "So your annual salary has doubled, and at the same time, you are authorized to pay 1 million pounds a year to find more subordinates. Is there any problem?"
"No, Mr. Devonshire, there is no problem." Anthony almost jumped up with excitement.
In just over half a year, his annual salary has increased from 300,000 pounds to 2 million pounds, and he can also spend 1 million pounds to build a team.
One million pounds is enough for him to build a private team of about 8 people, all composed of the best young people, plus the 4 subordinates assigned to him by Yuexida Office.
With more than 12 people under his staff, he will soon become the barrister with the most staff in Yuexida Firm.
The money stimulated Anthony and he quickly communicated with Hunter who took William's cell phone.
Seeing that William was fine, Ambrosio, who had been standing beside him, held William's arm and complained: "My dear, Chef Hunter is preparing your mother's birthday, but what about my banquet?"
What else can be done? Of course it’s cold. His girlfriend is not as important as his mother, but William won’t say it like an idiot.
He smiled and said to Ambrosio: "It's not like I'm going to England right away. Most of the preparations are done in New York.
Your treat is at Restaurant No. 11, and Chef Hunter is still available all day long."
"Humph, I'm just not as important as your mother in your heart."
"Damn it, aren't you talking nonsense?" William glared at Ambrosio, who was so arrogant, and replied angrily: "Don't tell me, in your heart I am more important than your parents now."
Ambrosio opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it. She was not as confident as William and dared to tell her directly that she was just not as important as William's mother.
But if she didn't express her position, she was afraid that William was testing her, so her eyes became red and tears were about to fall from her eyes.
"Okay, okay," William hugged his girlfriend and joked: "It's normal to be less important than your parents. If you say that I am more important than your parents, then I won't be happy, and maybe I will teach you a lesson for your parents.
Apart from children, let alone boyfriends, it’s normal for husbands to be less important than their parents. My dear, I don’t like girls who are unfilial.”
"You bastard, William, who said I have no filial piety, I just think you are as important as my parents." Ambrosio punched William on the shoulder with hatred.
