After William finished speaking, Shen Cheng clearly felt that William's unprovoked closeness to him had disappeared. Not only that, William said directly, "If you have something good you want to sell to me, just call me. It's too late and I have to rest."
, Antonov will take you back, goodbye."
After saying that, William ignored Shen Cheng, who was thinking about why this happened, returned to the bedroom, took a comfortable bath, and fell asleep holding the sleeping Abigail.
The next morning while having breakfast with his mother and Abi, Antonov walked into the restaurant carrying a box and whispered beside William, "Boss, Lawrence sent someone to deliver the dragon head, and also brought a message about you and him.
The things mentioned have already been sorted out, and the items should be delivered within a few days."
"Yeah," William nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Sunday Sunday's report suddenly came through his earphones, "Sir, the White Ghost has sent back a message, and there is also a plan."
After listening to Sunday's report, William thought for a while and said to his mother: "Mom, do you want to go shopping today?"
"Do you have time?" Lina looked up at William happily, "Don't worry about your mysterious things."
After speaking, Lina thought for a while and shook her head and said, "Forget it, you should stay at home obediently. Now let alone go shopping when you go out. As long as you are followed by a lot of paparazzi immediately when you go out, you will still be in the mood to buy things."
William was a little embarrassed by his mother's words. He had really been busy with too many things recently, and he hadn't gone shopping with Lina for a long time.
After thinking about it, I suddenly thought of a luxury street that is very suitable to go to. "Hey, it's easy."
Then he said to Sunday, "Help me buy the Burlington Arcade Mall and tell the manager of the mall that I will go shopping with my mother today and ask him to close the store."
"Okay, sir".
"God, are you crazy or did I hear it wrong?" William's decision was even more shocking than Lina's hearing that Chelsea was given to her as a birthday gift. Why did he buy a street just for shopping?
William laughed and said, "You heard it right, it doesn't cost much anyway, it only costs 50 to 60 million pounds.
The investment value of old luxury streets like Arcade Street is very high now. As long as you find a trendy designer, retain the characteristics of the arcade, and add some new elements to renovate it, you can easily attract a large number of tourists.
And as long as both ends of the arcade are sealed in that place, security can be easily achieved.”
"But wouldn't it be too ostentatious to just go shopping and then buy a whole street? God", Lina covered her forehead, "It won't be until night, the news will definitely be full of news about you and me, and the people who scold us will definitely
More".
"Whatever, who cares if I spend my own money? If the media dares to talk nonsense, I will sue them to death." After saying that, he said to Sunday, "Sunday, help me inform Anthony to pay attention to the news these days and find out who
A typical example comes out and sues them until they go bankrupt."
"Okay, sir, message to send."
"No, boss, how about this?" Abigail, who was sitting next to William, covered her mouth and said in shock, "Boss, if you do this, not only will it not improve the relationship between you and Mrs. Lina, but it will intensify the confrontation.
”.
"Ha", William curled his lips and mocked, "Even if I please them, these flies won't hold back when it's time to scold them, unless I become their boss."
"Hmm? Mom, how about I buy some big newspapers in London?"
"Not so good?" Lina glared at William, "Which group behind those big newspapers is not a powerful one, and only idiots will sell to you. William, I don't want you to jump into this vortex. Once you become
Boss of a big newspaper, from now on those serious customers will be staring at you all day long."
After thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, "Okay, Mom, I will listen to you on this matter."
, if we talk about the cost, it should be able to be reduced a lot, do you think?"
"Promise him to get the contract and transfer of ownership as quickly as possible. At the same time, you inform the arcade that I will accompany my mother to go shopping at 9:30 in the morning and ask them to wait for us to leave before opening."
"I understand, boss, I'll do it right now."
After hanging up the phone, William said to Sunday again, "Let the spider robot launcher monitor the arcade, and then notify Barney and the other three to check out the location, but don't show your face."
"Understood, sir, the task is being carried out. It is expected that the entire arcade will be monitored in half an hour."
After making arrangements, William looked at his watch and said to Lena and Abigail, "Mom, it's 8:11, you have one hour to prepare."
"Ah," Abigail exclaimed, "Am I going too?" After saying that, she looked at Lina, and seeing that her mother didn't express any reaction, she happily kissed William on the face, said sorry to Lina, and put it down.
The tableware walked upstairs happily.
Lina looked at Abigail who quickly walked out of the restaurant, glared at William and said, "Aren't you afraid that your girlfriend in New York will find out?"
"Ambrosio already knew this," William shrugged, "It's okay, Mom, I will take care of it."
"I hope so," Lina shook her head helplessly, "Just don't cause a scandal." After saying that, she put down the tableware and went upstairs to change clothes and put on makeup.
Forty minutes later, a group of people drove two bulletproof cars and arrived at the arcade street, ignoring the paparazzi at the entrance of the manor. When they got out of the car, they saw Anthony in a neat suit and a dozen of his men waiting for him.
Walking up to William, Anthony introduced the man in his 50s and a smart suit standing next to him, "Boss, this is the general manager of the arcade, Mr. Hart-Stein."
After Anthony's introduction, Hart-Stein hurriedly reached out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Devonshire, I am Hart-Stein, and I am honored to serve you and Mrs. Lena."
"Nice to see you too, Mr. Stein." William shook hands with Hartstein, "Let's go, there are too many people on the street, let's go in first."
"Okay, sir, please follow me."
Hartstein stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, and walked into the arcade with William, the three of them and the bodyguards.
William took his mother and Abigail into the mall for shopping and enjoyed a rare leisure time, but there was a commotion outside the street.
The British paparazzi are indeed the ancestors of paparazzi. Within ten minutes, some paparazzi who knew the people in the arcade got the news that the arcade was closed today because William wanted to go shopping with his mother.
Therefore, the entire street and the two 3-story commercial buildings on both sides of the street were closed directly and were not open to the public until William and his son left.
Ten or twenty minutes later, the paparazzi got the news that the arcade had changed hands. An insider said that the entire transaction was finalized in less than ten minutes. The specific price and who the buyer was were not yet known.
But when William showed up here with his mother, there was no need to think that the buyer must be William.
Not only did the paparazzi cheer, several TV stations sent reporters and interview vans to the Burlington Arcade within twenty minutes.
