Three hundred and ninety-three chapters 700 million pounds of engineering and record breaking
Yik, Wilson nodded, just know it in your mind. He took out his mobile phone and made a call. A minute later, there was a knock on the door in the luxury private room.
William said "Come in" and saw Thomas, the head of Wilson's bodyguard, open the door and walk in with five or six people from China. However, what surprised William was that there was someone in the crowd whom William had not waited for several days.
Shen Cheng.
After being stunned for half a second, William walked forward with a smile, shook hands with the guests and said hello. After being polite, he led everyone into the reception room of the luxurious private room. They sat down separately for host and guest. William said directly, "I think Wilson should have told you this time."
Reason for meeting.
Yes, Mr. Devonshire, we are very happy to receive your invitation. There is no problem with the initial estimate of time. The only problem is the source of raw materials and the number of engineering teams.
William interrupted, "Stop, I'm not interested in how many engineering teams you're looking for, which engineering team you're looking for, or who you're looking for for raw materials. I just want to know if you can contract 300 million pounds to your group's registered company in England within two years."
Complete the construction of the new stadium and supporting facilities with high quality and quantity.
At the beginning of this year, 300 million pounds was worth nearly 3.7 billion Chinese coins. While hesitating, William added: If your plan satisfies me, I still have a 200 million pound museum waiting for you, and the time is also within 2 years.
If you do a good job in two years, then the demolition of the old stadium and the construction of three high-end residential buildings with more than 20 floors on the original site can also be handed over to you. In other words, this is a project with a total value of 700 million pounds.
What? After hearing the 700 million pounds, several senior executives of a Chinese construction group in England immediately became excited. Mr. Devonshire, I think we need to adjourn the discussion first and give you an answer later.
No problem, William nodded. You are free to do so. You can call for private room service if necessary. Then gentlemen, see you later.
Thanks.
William and Wilson, who had been silent, walked out of the conference room, holding the whiskey handed over by Abigail, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of the private room.
Did you really outsource the whole project to that Chinese company registered in London? Man, this is a 700 million pound project, and can a Chinese company really build such a big stadium?
Can I scold you? Wilson, you are too backward. No one can compete with China in infrastructure construction. William took a sip of whiskey and said with a smile, and this time even if they don't make money, they will complete the project on time and with high quality. This is rare.
advertising opportunities,
The construction company here in England takes 4 years compared to the construction company in Kangaroo Country, but it only takes 2 years. Can you imagine how big the advertising effect will be once it is completed? And with 700 million pounds, it is not like they are not making money.
I still didn't believe it, Wilson shook his head.
While chatting, before the 3-year-old stallion competition, the 2-year-old horse competition started to warm up first. The names and information of the horses were being announced on the radio. William patted Wilson, who was not thinking about the horse racing at all, and said, "Okay."
, man, the first game is about to start, are you interested in playing it?
Wilson hurriedly shook his head, "Don't involve me in horse racing. If anyone finds out, I will be in big trouble."
Dizzy, then you can help me consult with the General Staff Headquarters. You must know more about horses than I do because you have been exposed to horses since you were a child.
Of course it's okay to be a consultant. Let's make it clear first that I will only be responsible for the introduction. There are many unexpected factors in horse racing, so don't blame me if you don't win, Wilson said with a smile.
It doesn't matter, I'm just bored and playing around.
Wilson thought for a while and was not sure. No. 5, 6 and 11 have a higher probability of finishing in the top three, but I can't guarantee whether the specific horse that wins the championship will actually be in the top three.
Hehe, it doesn't matter, just for fun, William picked up the pager in the private room and asked the private room manager to buy him a compound bet of 1 million pounds for No. 5, 6 and 11 to finish in the top three and No. 6 to win.
Wilson waited until William finished buying and then said, "1 million pounds is what you said for fun? God, I started to regret talking too much. I was not sure in the first place. It would be strange if you can win if you buy a compound bet again."
Sure enough, when the race started a few minutes later, the top three horses were not the three horses No. 5.6.11 at all. Wilson looked at William and shrugged, as if you don't blame me. William laughed and patted Wei.
Erson's shoulder said it didn't matter, it didn't matter, it was just for fun.
Seeing that William was indeed not angry, Wilson smiled and said, continue with the end?
Do you think I look like an idiot? William rolled his eyes at Wilson. Only after losing 1 million would I be an idiot and buy according to your instructions. If I wanted to buy, I would buy Red Rabbit.
Haha, I thought you really didn’t use money as money. Wilson chuckled. Your horse trainer didn’t tell you that Royal Ascot will never let horse owners bet on their horses.
Well, there is still this rule?
Of course, Wilson is certain.
The two chatted for another half hour and finally got to the highlight of the day, the 3-year-old stallion competition. Red Rabbit was ranked in the 7th lane today. This position was good or bad.
William and Wilson did not wave their hands and shout like the audience in the auditorium, but Abigail, who was watching a horse for the first time, became a little excited. She held William's arm tightly with both hands and opened her eyes.
Staring at Red Rabbit.
After a few beeps, more than a dozen racehorses rushed out of the starting fence. The importance of starting a speed race is self-evident. Once you pass 300 meters, you can basically tell the pros and cons.
Although Red Rabbit is a little shorter than the English thoroughbred horse, it still broke into the top three after 300 meters.
When he saw Red Rabbit rushing into the top three, a smile appeared on William's face. According to Old Neil, Red Rabbit's main trainer, as long as the starting performance is not bad, Red Rabbit has a very high probability of winning the second half of the race. Now the former
He ran into the top three in 300 meters. As long as nothing happens, Chitu will definitely win today.
Come on, come on, Red Rabbit, Abigail shouted Red Rabbit’s name in a non-standard tone. As soon as the race passed 1600 meters, Red Rabbit, who had been ranked third, started to exert his strength and ran away in only 200 meters.
I got into first place and became more and more powerful as I ran.
Wilson, who wasn't very excited at first, started shouting.
After running 2,400 meters and reaching the sprint stage, everyone in the venue was shouting Chitu’s name. It was really because Chitu had such a huge advantage now. With more than 500 meters left, he was already seven or eight horse lengths ahead of the second place.
This kind of absolute advantage has not been seen in the St. Regis Stakes for many years.
And it seems that the advantage is getting bigger and bigger, and the endurance of other horses has dropped significantly. On the other hand, Red Rabbit gives the impression that it has just started to warm up. It takes up the pace and runs wildly, running faster and faster. When it rushes to the finish line, it pulls down the second horse.
The two placed 18 horse lengths and broke the event record with a time of two minutes, fifty-nine seconds and 43 seconds.
God, God, as soon as he saw the record-breaking logo on the big screen, Wilson covered his forehead with his hands and looked in disbelief, while Abigail hugged William and fell in love.
