Seeing Pierre nodding, William felt secretly happy. Fortunately, this is the movie world, and the ownership of Chateau Chantilly is in the hands of a bank. If it were in the hands of the state, he wouldn't even have the chance to make an offer, "How much is it?"
"What?" Pierre looked at William in shock. He didn't expect that William would dare to ask the price when he said it so straightforwardly. Isn't he really afraid that the entire French people would boycott him?
"I ask you how much?" William stared at Pierre's glasses and asked word by word.
"God, I can't answer you." Pierre clutched his chest, feeling a little out of breath. "Although this is the Chantilly area, in my opinion, the land price of only 7,800 hectares and 19,266 acres is worth it."
One billion US dollars, can you really accept this price?"
"Huh?" William calculated in his mind, "$52,000 per acre is indeed a bit expensive."
Pierre nodded in agreement. He didn't want to offend William, a super customer, because of this.
"But I can still accept this price. Tell me, will you give me a price? That's all I care about now."
"I don't know. If anyone had asked me before today whether Chateau Chantilly would be sold, I would have thought he was crazy. But this person is you, God, I really don't know."
Pierre shook his head blankly, thought for a moment and advised, "Mr. Devonshire, personally I strongly advise you not to buy it.
Because the annual maintenance cost of this castle exceeds 30 million U.S. dollars. In addition, it is a cultural relic building from the 15th to 17th century. You cannot modernize it after buying it. This castle is not suitable for living at all. There are so many
For the money, you might as well build a bigger and more luxurious manor than this one."
"Haha," William said with a crooked smile, "Whether I buy it or not is my business, or should I deposit 5 billion U.S. dollars in your bank as a sign of sincerity and you hold a board of directors to discuss it?"
“$55 billion in deposits is a sign of sincerity?”
It's not that Pierre has never seen money. On the contrary, as the general manager of the Bank of France, he has seen tens of billions of dollars in a single transaction, but the fact that a private individual casually deposited 5 billion U.S. dollars into their bank still shocked him.
His hands were shaking and he was sweating coldly.
What's more, this person is William, who is ten years younger than his son.
"Okay, okay, dear sir, I, I, I will go back to discuss it right now." After saying that, Pierre walked towards his subordinates with some staggering steps.
"Hehe", Anthony felt very happy when he saw that the big French cock that had been arrogant to him before was now in such a mess, "Boss, Pierre was right about one thing. This kind of building is really not suitable for living. Are you really going to buy it?"
”.
"Isn't it possible? Just because the structure is immovable does not mean that electrical appliances and appropriate modifications cannot be carried out. Which of these buildings has not been modified? Otherwise, where would the electric lights and bathrooms inside come from?"
Anthony thought, "That's true, but wouldn't you feel flustered that such a big palace is too big?"
"You are not me," William smiled at Anthony, "and at this time in Europe, except for the high-tech and Internet industries, any other legitimate business cannot compare to investing in land and antiques. Believe it or not, we won't be here in fifteen years."
The land will increase tenfold.
If you have spare money, buy some antiques to keep, preferably Chinese antiques. In ten years, the price will increase fivefold and it will be the same as playing."
"Understood," Anthony grinned, "I'll find His Highness Wilson when I get back."
"It seems Wilson's antique business is doing well," William laughed.
In the distance, Catherine Russell saw that Pierre ignored her, gave a few instructions to the people at the bank and left in the car, and immediately turned her finger on William.
He came over angrily, but before he got close, he was stopped by Anthony's men and bodyguards, who shouted anxiously, "Let me go, if you touch me again, I will call the police and report you for molestation."
At this time, three men and two women walked out of the castle holding dozens of balloons. Seeing Jia Fulin yelling, they hurriedly protected her behind them.
When help came, Catherine's momentum immediately increased and she shouted at William, "William Devonshire, you robber, you are a robber just like Pierre,
That old bastard promised me to keep the castle for 5 years so that I could buy it back. Now, within 2 months of that promise, the old bastard will sell it to you, a robber."
When a beautiful woman called him a robber in front of his face, William was surprised and said to Anthony, "Are all Frenchmen like this?"
Anthony shrugged, "They are just a bunch of Gallic roosters, boss. If you have more contact with them, you will understand how arrogant and rude these people are."
"Arrogant?" He looked at the angry Anthony with contempt and laughed, "It seems that you are really angry with that old guy Pierre. Speaking of arrogance, doesn't this describe the English people?".
"No, no, boss, your view is outdated. There was a survey last year. We English people were rated as conservative and interesting, and arrogance is a thing of the past."
Anthony disagreed, then smiled as he thought of something, "But in the eyes of reporters, you are synonymous with arrogance."
"Fuck you", he rolled his eyes at Anthony, and suddenly noticed the big cock-shaped balloons in the hands of the two Asian women next to Jia Fulin, and several pictures came to mind.
"Everything in this castle belongs to me now."
"Of course, boss, the contract has been signed, and the US$160 million has been transferred to a specific account at the Bank of France. We are just waiting for us to call the experts of the Bank of France for the antiques and other valuable items in the memorandum.
You are now 100% the owner of this castle, and if there is a problem, it is the Bank of France’s problem.”
"Very good", William snapped his fingers and "let them come over".
"Understood, boss", Anthony shouted a few words loudly, and a dozen bodyguards and five or six lawyers stared at Catherine and the three men and two women beside him before they came to William.
"William Devonshire," before Jia Fulin finished speaking, William raised his finger and said to the bodyguard standing next to her, "If she talks again without my permission, please politely ask her out.
”.
Looking at the angry Catherine, William reminded, "I'm not kidding, madam, and I have no intention of discussing the ownership of this castle with you, because I bought it for US$160 million."
"Well, although this decision was made a few hours ago," William pretended.
This pretense made Jia Fulin roll her eyes in anger, but for the more than ten temporary bodyguards and Anthony's five or six men at the scene, it was a great encouragement, and she immediately nodded and replied, "Understood, boss."
Being stared at by nearly twenty people, Jia Fulin and the five Asians who had just walked out of the castle looked at each other and said nothing.
This effect made William very satisfied. He pointed at the big rooster-shaped balloon and said to the man who was twenty years younger than Guan Yuming but had a 9-inch figure, "That balloon is mine, right? Jack Chen."
"What?"
"I said, that big cock balloon is mine? Any more questions?"
"No, no." Seeing William clearly stating the problem, Jack Chen immediately understood that their cheating had been exposed, and said to his companions very wisely, "Bonnie, give the balloon to the man next to you."
