Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Five Shares in Monthly Office and Unexpected Guests
In less than half an hour, he bought a 19-acre estate worth US$150 million. William probably set a record for the fastest purchase of a luxury home.
The manor was purchased, and Abigail happily took William around the entire manor. Except for the lack of modernity, William was very satisfied with the other decorations, layout, and sense of history. The only thing he was unhappy about was that the butler still lacked a British style.
With William's suspicious character, it's really hard to find a housekeeper who can reassure him. Before, the castle was still managed by his mother, but now that Lina is focused on the team, a housekeeper is very necessary.
Glancing at Abigail next to him, William wondered whether he should let this girl take care of it first?
This made Abigail, who was holding William's arm in high spirits, suddenly feel that something bad was about to happen, and was about to ask. Anthony, the private lawyer on the side, saw that William was in a good mood, and reported, "Boss, from the Swiss National Bank
The US$2 billion transferred to the Bank of England has arrived. Once this money arrives, do you want to pay the US$300 million in taxes owed first?”
"Well, do you have to pay it now?" William, who was very happy, stopped and looked at Anthony, "I remember, isn't April the deadline every year?"
Anthony shook his head and said, "Boss, you are talking about the old and American tax laws. In England, you have to pay within half a year. You filed your declaration in May this year and there is not much time left. If it is overdue, you may face lawsuits and fines."
"My dear, don't forget the money spent on antiques from Baron Cabore and Grand Duke Devon," Abigail reminded beside her, "and Mrs. Lina and I made an appointment with people from the Royal Furniture Company to customize furniture and daily necessities.
, and don’t forget to pay.”
"On Sunday, transfer 10 million US dollars to Abigail's account." William covered his left ear canal.
"Understood, sir, the transfer has been completed."
"This 10 million US dollars is enough for you to buy it."
"That should be enough. If Mrs. Lina has other needs, I will come back to you." Abigail nodded with satisfaction.
"That's enough, go to work. I'm going to stay here at night." After saying that, he kissed Abigail on the cheek and took Anthony to the garden.
After walking around for a few minutes, William sat on a bench by the roadside, asked Anthony after sitting down, "Has the acquisition of your firm come to an end?"
Anthony thanked him and sat down and said, "There is no problem with 35% of the shares of 150 million US dollars. Boss, my teacher asked me to tell you that in fact, you don't need to control our firm at all. The firm has more than 20 lawyers and a dozen accountants in partnership.
Man, the equity is very dispersed. With 35% plus those of us who eat with you, you actually have complete control of the firm.
Moreover, complete control is not always a good thing. It will discourage partners and may also create risks that the community of interests should avoid when there is a lawsuit."
As soon as Anthony finished speaking, Sunday reported in William's ears. After hearing that this was indeed a possibility, William nodded, "Did you bring the contract?"
"Of course, boss, everyone is very excited to have you join the firm." Anthony took out a thick document from his briefcase and handed it to William with both hands. "You will be my real boss from now on."
"Haha, I didn't expect that my own company doesn't have a single official employee, but it has hundreds of lawyers and accountants." William smiled and shook his head, took out his mobile phone to scan the contract, and after a few minutes, the reply on Sunday was no problem, William answered
He passed the pen in Anthony's hand and directly wrote his name, and then pressed his fingerprint.
Keep your contract and say, "Okay, call your teacher and other partners, and I'll invite them to the manor as guests in the evening."
"Okay, boss," Anthony said respectfully.
"Sunday", William covered his ears and said, "help me ask the Duke of Devon, Garris and Baron Cabore to meet at the manor tomorrow morning. Since they are so generous, I should explain some things and money to them."
"Understood, sir, message to send."
In the evening, William invited all the partners of Yuesida to have dinner at the manor. One of them wanted to make friends, and the other deliberately wanted to please the sponsor, so the chat was very pleasant. From now on, William's company and personal legal and financial aspects will be handed over to Yueshi.
Da.
Of course, William will find other accounting companies to do the financial review, and he will not leave everything to one company.
At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, a helicopter landed in the sky above the manor square. This was William's sincerity to let the two helicopters pick up the Archduke Devon and Baron Cabore on Sunday.
As for Garris, this guy drove to the manor to have breakfast before he arrived at 9 a.m.
The first one to arrive was the Archduke Devin, who was relatively close. After the helicopter stopped and the engine was turned off, the Archduke Devin stepped out of the helicopter with the help of his guards. However, what surprised William was that a man who looked bigger than the Archduke Devin came out of the helicopter.
The old man, who was in little better condition, and a man in his thirties or forties got off the helicopter.
"Good morning, Your Excellency the Grand Duke", William stepped forward and hugged the Grand Duke Devon, "Sorry to invite you all the way to London, but you look pretty good."
"Good morning, William." Grand Duke Devin hugged William and touched his face slightly, "My child, you always forget to call me. Aren't our ancestors the same person?"
William rolled his eyes. This old guy always tried to remind himself that we all have the same ancestor, so he had to be called grandfather according to his seniority.
Helplessly holding on to the Grand Duke's arm, he pretended to be happy and said, "Well, it's nice to see you, Grandpa."
The Grand Duke rolled his eyes at William and pretended not to see him. He laughed and said, "I'm glad to see you too, son. Come and let me introduce you."
He turned around and stretched out his hand to the old man behind him and said, "William, this is Marco Cans, the chairman of Cans Group, my cousin, Marco, this is William Devon Hill, the pride of the Devon family."
"Hello, Mr. Kansi, nice to meet you." William smiled and extended his hand first.
Marco Cans held William's hand and smiled and said, "Hello, William, I'm glad to see you too."
Archduke Devon pointed to the man in his thirties and forties and introduced, "William, this is Charles Cavendish, Viscount, my brother's only child, my cousin, and the child of Marco's sister. Charles is
It’s William”.
"Ha", William directly reached out and grabbed Charles Cavendish's hand, leaned down and said in the ear of Charles, who was half a head shorter than himself, "If you dare to call me nephew, I will throw you out of the manor." After saying this
Use your hands hard.
Charles immediately felt a sharp pain, blushing and patting William on the shoulder, "ok, ok, my surname is Cavendish, your surname is Devonshire, don't worry, we each have our own business."
Seeing that Charles was very knowledgeable, William let go of his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, it's nice to meet you, Charles."
Enduring the pain in his hand, Charles smiled helplessly and said, "Nice to meet you too, William."
