Chapter 396: The icing on the cake is like a piece of charcoal in the snow
"Gentlemen, welcome to Devonhill Manor." William stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation and led the three of them into the manor's living room. "I'm sorry, I just took over this manor yesterday. I'm still rude.
Please pay attention."
"It's okay, William, that's not why we came here today." Grand Duke Devin waved his hand to let his men go out. William also waved his servants to go out and poured a cup of tea for the three of them with his own hands.
Grand Duke Devin took the tea, "Thank you," he took a sip and said, "I'm sorry, William, for bringing Marco and Charles over without informing you."
"It doesn't matter." William held the tea cup and smiled, but he was a little impatient in his heart. He hated the part of recognizing relatives the most, but people were here, and no matter how much he didn't like it, he had to get along with it in terms of face.
"Okay." Archduke Devin knew from William's expression that he didn't like it. He shook his head and smiled, "I'll just say it directly. Marco's Cans Group has always been involved in the automobile industry. It is not only the largest spare parts manufacturer in Europe,
He also has an F1 team on hand, and he is here hoping to acquire the Aston Martin company you hold."
"Sorry, I'm also very interested in the automobile industry, so I'm very sorry." William interrupted the Duke of Devon and wanted to buy the company from him. How could it be possible?
There are only a few independent sports car companies in the world that can produce good results. If you give up and try to enter this industry, God knows how long it will take.
"Don't you listen to my conditions?" Marco put his hands on his crutches, "William, the automobile industry is not as simple as you think. Many things cannot be solved with money."
"No, no, except for some emotional matters, everything else can be solved with money. If it can't be solved, it means there is not enough money.
If 100 million is not enough, then 200 million. If 200 million is not enough, then 1 billion. If one billion is not enough, then 2 billion." William shrugged, "For me, two billion US dollars is just my monthly income."
"Fk", Charles, who had been smiling and silent, cursed in a low voice. Archduke Devon and Marco turned to look at Charles, but miraculously did not blame him.
The two of them were also choked by William's words and didn't know what to say. Thinking about the outside world's estimation of William's worth, they had to admit that William's ability to make money was so strong. As long as he wanted to, there was really no industry that money could not enter.
"Okay, just pretend I didn't ask," Marco shook his head with regret, took out an invitation from his suit and said, "This is my wedding invitation. I hope you have time to go to Morocco to attend my wedding."
"Wedding?" William looked at Marco, whose hair was all white, and then at the helpless expression on the Duke of Devon's face and Charles, whose eyes were bulging in shock, "This, this".
"Haha, it's okay, William." Marco stood up and sent the invitation to William. After William stood up and took it, he smiled and said, "The pursuit of love is everyone's right. Even if I am 74 years old, no one can stop me.
”.
"Okay, William, I'll take my leave now. I hope you'll remember me if you ever have the idea of selling Aston Martin. Goodbye, kid."
Marco shook hands with William, but only nodded to the Duke of Devon, and walked out of the drawing room on crutches.
After sending a car to see Marco off, William heard Charles' voice full of resentment when he returned to the living room, "Why, why did he marry Susie? God, Uncle Robert, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
”.
"Would it be useful to tell you earlier? What can be changed?" Grand Duke Devin said in a tone that said he hated iron but not steel. "I am not just a woman. I also want to ask you why you have a girlfriend from an island country. Don't forget that it has been more than 60 years."
, my youngest brother, your youngest uncle died in the war in South Asia."
After listening for a while, William lost interest and had no intention of getting involved in these feuds between wealthy families. Now he just wanted to see off the Duke and nephew of Devon as soon as possible. He knocked on the door, opened the door and walked into the living room, putting his mobile phone on the coffee table.
After sitting down, he snapped his fingers and said to Sunday,
“On Sunday, show the Italian company Raffaelli and Riva Yachts about the antique hype of Guaiac”.
"Understood, sir".
Soon, the mobile phone emitted a 3D light. After Sunday's explanation, William ignored the German Archduke and Charles Cavendish who were staring at the mobile phone on the coffee table. "Your Majesty, do I quote 200 million US dollars for this information?"
Question."
Grand Duke Devin watched reluctantly as William put away his mobile phone on the coffee table. He closed his eyes and thought for a long time before opening his mouth and said, "No problem, we promise to give you 1 billion US dollars in antiques at a 30% discount. This time it will be 200 million plus."
The previous 500 million has reached a total of 700 million, and we have settled both."
Even if there is a problem, seeing the mobile phone in William's hand, there will be no problem. The Grand Duke sighed, "I always thought you were a genius, but I didn't expect you to be such a genius. Is it possible for me to join?
"
To join, you have to make careful calculations, unless you exchange it for something that can make William's heart beat. But considering the structure of the wealth of the Duke of Devon, apart from land and antiques, there seems to be nothing worthy of William's concern.
Antiques As long as you have money, there is so much land in Europe right now? William will soon be able to acquire at least 30,000 acres of land near Devonshire Castle.
With these 30,000 acres of land, William had little interest in other places. He did not make money from the land, and managing scattered land would be very troublesome.
But now that I have taken it out, I will leave some thoughts for the old fox and wait for him to make his own conditions. If there is something that can really make William's heart move, it is not impossible to let Grand Duke Devon join.
So William smiled and said, "I have what you want, but you want to eat delicious food. In addition to paying, we can also exchange at equal prices."
Grand Duke Devin nodded understandingly and said, "Very good, William, I will consider it carefully. You wait for my news. As for Charles," the Grand Duke looked at the somewhat decadent Charles, shook his head and sighed,
"Hey, Charles is a doctor with a double degree in archeology from Oxford University. I originally wanted to introduce him to you to help you identify antiques, but now it seems that I have to forget it and wait until he recovers."
"No, wait a minute," William said immediately after hearing that Charles was a doctor of archeology with a double degree from Oxford University, "Maybe finding something to do for Charles will help him get out of the shadows."
"Haha, you are really..." Grand Duke Devin shook his head and looked at William with disdain, "You are a capitalist after all, William, you have done a very good job in squeezing the labor force."
"Okay, I'm leaving first." Grand Duke Devin glanced at Charles and then at his watch. "This time is just right to go home for lunch. When I think about it carefully, I will give you a call. Finally," the Grand Duke stared at
William said, "In the end, whether you admit it or not, we are all a family. Take good care of Charles. Goodbye, my child."
After personally escorting the Archduke to the helicopter and watching the helicopter fly away, William sneered at the last words of the Archduke Devon. It was the icing on the cake. No matter how many flowers you add, they can't compare to the pile of charcoal sent in the snow.
