Three hundred and thirteen chapters lucky and unfortunate and earn more than one billion
William was sailing out to sea, waiting for Sunday to check whether all the transaction records of this short sale were in compliance with regulations, when he heard his cell phone ring suddenly.
He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number from New York. In confusion, William answered the phone and said, "Hello."
"Hello, Mr. Devonshire, my name is Martin Downer. I'm sorry to disturb you so late. I have something urgent to report to you."
William already knew what Martin wanted to say, so William didn't ask what it was but asked, "Tell me first how you know my mobile phone number. I don't remember when I gave you my business card."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Devonshire. I only know your mobile phone number because when you told Chef Hunter, I accidentally saw the number on the phone screen while standing behind Mr. Hunter.
Sir, I promise this is an accident, maybe because I am very concerned about your affairs, so after taking a look at it, I remember it very clearly for some reason."
It's easy to find out this matter, just say, "wait"
After snapping his fingers, Sunday's reply came from the invisible earpiece more than ten seconds later, "Sir, according to the video from the yacht, Martin Downer did not lie."
"Very good, it seems you didn't lie, continue."
"Okay, sir." Martin Donner, who had been waiting a little anxiously, felt relieved after hearing this.
He began to describe everything that happened after he got off the yacht, not only telling the contents of his conversation with Griff verbatim, but also describing Griff's expression clearly.
After explaining the whole story, Martin quietly waited for William's reply.
"Very good, it seems that this rare kindness of mine has paid off." William chuckled, and said amidst Martin's horrified expression: "Tomorrow, the American tax people will find you, charging you with tax evasion."
"God" Martin exclaimed.
"Don't worry, the final result is that you will be fined 120,000 US dollars, no more, no less, exactly 120,000 US dollars. This is your punishment, and it is also for the sake of you having two lovely children, a little one.
small punishment,
You won’t be reluctant to part with the $120,000, Martin.”
"I, I, I".
Martin stammered and couldn't speak, knowing very well that what he and Grif said had actually been known to William a long time ago.
The expectations he had when he first made the call were gone in his mind, only fear and happiness remained in his mind. Yes, while he was scared, he felt very happy at the same time.
Fortunately, William liked the Gu family, and even more fortunate that he was not blinded by the $10 million. As soon as Grif left, he confessed to William,
"Ming, Ming, understand, sir, I will pay the fine honestly."
"Very good. It seems that you are indeed a smart person. Do your best. As long as Ambrosio is satisfied, maybe you will become her special assistant.
Then your loan of 600,000 US dollars may be repaid in less than a year. As for why Ambrosio invited you to be her assistant, I think you should understand."
"Yes, sir, I understand this is to prevent Miss Ambrosio from misunderstanding that I am the spy you arranged around her, and it is also a test of my working ability."
"Well, that's it. I look forward to your performance, Mr. Martin Downer."
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness."
"Haha, you should thank yourself for being a good father, otherwise the endings of you and Griff wouldn't be so different."
Yes, there is also Griff. Martin was just about to plead for Griff,
But after thinking about it, you can understand that his plea for mercy is useless. Maybe after trying to persuade him, not only will he get involved with him, but Griff's ending will be even more ugly.
In the end, I could only sigh silently, "Thank you, sir, good night, sir."
After hanging up the phone, William began to look forward to the future performance of this guy who just graduated from high school and climbed all the way from the bottom to become the manager of the New York Yacht Club.
A few days later, Martin, who was not at all concerned about his being under tax investigation, learned from an Italian friend that when Grieve returned to Italy, he found evidence of his beautiful young wife having an affair at home.
After the couple had a big quarrel, before the divorce lawsuit even started, his wife bit back,
Revealing his financial situation not only made Grif very anxious, but he was soon invited to the police station for coffee.
In the end, Grieve got his wish and divorced his female cousin wife, but he didn't get any of the property, all of it belonged to his wife.
Not only that, he was also sued by Faraday and Riva for accepting kickbacks. What awaits him may be five years in prison.
This made Martin Donner, who was far away in New York, even more afraid of William. At the same time, he once again felt lucky to have encountered William's rare kindness.

After dealing with the two minor characters, William sat in the driver's chair and listened to Sunday's report on the profits from the short sale of Daibis. When he learned that the reason for the profit being only three times more than that was because he had invested too much money,
William cursed in a low voice. What a ghost. He only invested 500 million U.S. dollars. Ten times the leverage is only 5 billion U.S. dollars. As soon as he exerted his strength, Daibis surrendered as if he was about to go bankrupt.
However, the information summarized on Sunday reminded William that 70% of the diamonds mined by Debis are stored in the underground vault of the London headquarters.
The value of the group is at least 6 layers in these diamonds that they dare not sell, and the actual wealth they get from selling is actually more than 10 billion US dollars.
In addition, diamonds themselves are not an item that can be sold in large quantities. Once sold at a reduced price, it may make Dai Bisi die faster. In this case, Dai Bisi cannot collect funds on a large scale to resist.
The second time William started to act, there were too many short sellers following him, and they all attacked in groups.
The most important thing is that the evidence of this revelation is too clear. The entire blood diamond industry chain has been exposed clearly. Even my boss was photographed buying blood diamonds in person.
In the face of this evidence, Daibis himself was not confident that he could win this battle. However, institutions and individual investors in the market saw that Daibis was weak and immediately made adjustments.
Most of the institutions and financial companies that bet against William would rather liquidate their positions than add futures margins, and they would rather quit playing with William.
Betting on a single listed company stock index requires someone or an institution to take over the futures contract with real money. No one will play with him, and the expected return will certainly not meet his expectations.
After losing the US$7.8 billion invested in the early stage, facing overwhelming accusations from the media and the public, and the foreseeable slump in diamond sales, the people of Debis had the courage to hold more than one billion in cash in their hands as ammunition for the final counterattack.
Then he asked the English government for help like a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water. At the same time, he threatened the English government by using taxes, layoffs, and the influence of the diamond industry as bargaining chips.
But this situation is what William least wants to see,
After all, DEBIS is not one of those technology companies that speculates on concepts, and it is impossible for it to really fall into the trap of being worthless.
There are diamonds in their underground vaults that are currently worth less than 10 billion US dollars and will rise back to around 15 billion US dollars in a few years. They are also supported by several large diamond mines in Africa.
In order to avoid the interference of the government and the foreseeable counterattack of Dabis, Felix followed the emergency treatment method set by William and started to clear the warehouse as soon as possible.
