After putting away the oil painting, William returned to Rosslyn Chapel and continued to search the secret room on the second floor. It took him a few minutes to completely empty the entire secret room.
Anyway, this place is no longer the storage place of the Holy Grail. It is completely abandoned. Of course, the family's belongings will be moved back home. As for whether he took the cultural relics that did not belong to the Devonshire family, William pretended not to know.
After searching, use mental scanning to avoid cameras and staff, walk out of the church and return to the place where the helicopter is parked.
Originally thinking of going to see Professor Robert Langdon, William was not in the mood to go see Langdon because he would not think of the old woman in St. Clair again.
I don’t know whether Professor Langdon and Sophie made it or not. After flying a helicopter for more than an hour and returning to London, William’s cell phone rang.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Devonshire."
Andre Vernet, the manager of the Swiss Basti Bank, said hello first, and then said, "Old Madam St. Clair reported to us that the antiquities in Rosslyn Church were stolen. The Grand Elder asked me to ask you if you know.
know this."
"Ha, the news about that old woman is quite fast," William said with a crooked smile, "It's not against the law for me to take back my own things."
"Of course not," Andre laughed, feeling helpless. He didn't expect that it was William who did it as the new elder had guessed.
In the past hundred years, several generations of the Devonshire family have never thought about the antiquities in Rosslyn Chapel, no matter how difficult it was. Unexpectedly, William, who was already so rich, would unexpectedly set his sights on these antiquities.
"We just want to confirm whether those antiquities are safe. Since they are in your hands, you can protect them yourself. We will take care of them with Mrs. St. Clair. I wish you a happy day, Mr. Devonshire."
After hanging up the phone, William smiled crookedly. It seemed that only after he had the financial power did he really have the right to speak. The people in the monastery guessed that it was him who did it. Not only did they not dare to say anything, they also had to handle the follow-up matters for him.
It's not in vain to give them a hand.
Eating lunch in a happy mood, I reported on Sunday and said, "Sir, I think you should read this news."
The TV on the wall of the restaurant automatically turned on, broadcasting news from French TV.
This was a rebroadcast of the news. A very pretty girl on the TV who was showing the weather forecast took the press release handed to her by the director. After scanning it quickly, she looked at the manuscript nervously and said,
"According to the reliable information we have just received, the Banque de France held open and closed board meetings last night. The topic discussed was the possibility of selling the Chateau Chantilly, and the buyer is likely to be William Devonshire, his first
The quoted price is US$5 billion.”
"God", after reading the words "5 billion U.S. dollars," the beautiful anchor opened her eyes wide and covered her open mouth with her hands, "55 billion U.S. dollars, this, this is an opponent of the Bank of France after the objection failed.
Information that has to be provided to us anonymously,
According to his revelations, 76% of the owners of the Banque de France agreed to William Devonshire's quotation request and will soon have the first contact with William Devonshire to determine whether he really bought the entire Shanti
castle plan,
If the news is confirmed, we will also discuss the ownership of all the paintings and cultural relics in the Chateau Chantilly. God, are these people from the Bank of France crazy? This is selling the soul of our country to the devil."
"Ah," the host reacted immediately after scolding him and covered his face with his script, "Sorry, I was just too excited. I apologize."
After saying this, this little drama queen said to the camera with a sad expression, "Mr. William Devonshire, I hope you can face up to the status of the Chateau de Chantilly in the hearts of the French. It belongs to all French people and should not be
Belongs to someone's private property."
"Haha," William looked at the host on the TV in a funny way and asked Sunday, "What is this girl's name?"
"Melissa is an intern who has not graduated. Today is probably her lucky day. The host who broadcasts the weather report at noon unexpectedly fell ill. The TV station asked her to come to the rescue. Unexpectedly, she encountered this big news before the weather forecast was finished.
”.
"But she called me a devil", William said with a smile, "How dare you call me a devil", he thought for a while and said, "Look for her dark history, and if there is any, just expose it."
"Are you sure? sir".
"Of course, she wants to be famous like crazy. She didn't see how fake her acting was just now. Since she wants to become famous by scolding me, she has to bear my revenge."
"Okay, sir, mission established."
"Ding ding, ding, ding," the cell phone placed on the dining table suddenly rang. When he lowered his head and saw that the number displayed was Wilson, he put down the knife and fork in his hand and wiped his mouth with a towel.
I snapped my fingers and the call was automatically connected.
"William, is what is said in the news true?" Wilson asked anxiously.
"We have this plan, do you have any objections?" William said speechlessly as he took a sip of red wine, "Why don't we just buy a larger castle complex? There's nothing worth making a fuss about."
"God, this is 5 billion U.S. dollars. Are you crazy? How can Chateau Chantilly be worth 5 billion U.S. dollars?" Wilson said angrily, "The French are treating you like a fat sheep."
"Haha", William smiled sarcastically, "the 5 billion US dollars deposited in the Bank of France is to let them know that I am not joking, so as to avoid testing between us, so I did not say that the first quotation is
5 billion US dollars,
These Gallic roosters probably really think that I am a fool. They are too naive to think that they can kill me with cultural relics. At worst, I don’t want a single oil painting or cultural relics. Alas, it’s a pity that England does not have such a big castle, otherwise I would just
Just buy it in England”.
"7,800 hectares, nearly 20,000 acres of land is indeed very large," Wilson sighed, and then said, "But the castle is now a low-return industry. Do you really plan to invest billions of dollars in it?"
"Hey, don't try to test me. Is there anything else? If nothing happens, I'll hang up." Only an idiot would tell Wilson his inner plan and try to trick me. Wilson was a bit naive.
"Okay, as long as you decide to buy the Chateau Chantilly, I will also invest some money in a castle with tourism potential," Wilson said with a low chuckle.
"Then just wait and lose money." William hung up the phone directly. It was fanciful to want to make money from tourism. He bought the Château de Chantilly just for the sake of reason. What he liked was the land itself, because the scenery and climate in the Chantilly area are very special.
Great,
The entire area not only has a high greening rate of grassland, but also has a very large Chantilly Forest. Just think about how this place was the hunting ground and resort of the royal family hundreds of years ago, and you can understand how suitable it is to live here.
The future appreciation potential of this livable area is very large.
Moreover, after staying in a city like London where it rains on average for more than a hundred days a year and rarely sees the sun for many days throughout autumn and winter, William really wants to stay in a place with a better climate. Anyway, he is not short of money.
