Four hundred and fifty-eight chapters are you soft-hearted once
After seeing Phillip off in person and watching a convoy of six cars drive out of the Moonstar Office building, William shook his head and complained, "There are almost 20 drivers and bodyguards. Is it necessary? It's not too troublesome."
"What's the trouble? Just pretend they don't exist. You'll get used to it over time." Grosvenor, who was standing aside, looked at William who didn't even have a bodyguard with him. He hesitated for a few seconds and reminded vaguely, "
There were relatively few people around Philip today, usually 6 people in public and at least 20 people secretly.
There are usually 4 people around me openly, and almost 20 secretly." Grosvenor looked at William's car and shook his head, "It will definitely be no problem to apply for the Rolls-Royce Bulletproof Edition based on your identity. William, from now on you will be
Our God of Wealth, if you find it troublesome, may I give you a bulletproof Rolls-Royce?"
"Thank you, it's just a phone call if you want," William said thanking Grosvenor, "I don't use Rolls-Royce myself except because I don't want to give them free advertising after buying Aston Martin.
Also because the current models of Rolls-Royce are too ugly in my eyes, not to mention aesthetically pleasing, and I am completely immersed in the design concepts of the 1990s. Maybe I should really talk to someone about some of my ideas about the car in my mind.
do it".
"Do you know how to design car shapes?" Grosvenor looked at William unexpectedly, "It's better to be young and have unconstrained ideas."
"Let's go, take my car, and we'll talk about your design in the car. If you can impress me, maybe I'll ask you to customize one."
"Haha" William said with a crooked smile, "I'm sorry, if I really design it, I'm not sure whether I'll sell it or not. It feels good to design a car that's unique in the world."
He was thinking about whether to make a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Maybach 62s, or both models. Anyway, he just had to copy the shapes of the two cars in his memory. The rest would give the designer a headache.
.
Grosvenor shook his head, mistakenly thinking that William was too energetic and wanted to get involved in everything he was interested in. "As long as you like it, maybe you can really design a unique car. Let's go."
Lunch time is coming soon, don’t keep my wife waiting too long, otherwise I will be unlucky if you leave.”
"Haha", seeing what Grosvenor said was true, William laughed loudly. If he hadn't known that this guy was a playboy like Andrew, he would have been deceived by his harmless appearance.
And William knew very well that Grosvenor must have other things to do when he took him to the dinner party. If he didn't want to ask Grosvenor for his experience and ideas in land management, he would not necessarily give Grosvenor face.
I got in the car and spent twenty minutes arriving at Grosvenor's home in London, where I met Mrs. Grosvenor and little Grosvenor, who had come back from school temporarily.
Little Grosvenor is only nine years old now, and he is still a handsome, shy young lady. After getting to know each other, he may have admired William very much. After chatting a lot during lunch and getting to know each other better, little Grosvenor followed William after the meal.
Behind him, he was chatting about trivial matters in school.
Out of politeness, William didn't want to listen to the gossip between these children, but when he looked at Mrs. Grosvenor, who was full of relief, William didn't show any impatience on his face.
As they chatted, Little Grosvenor's completely unguarded and calculating words made William feel more relaxed. In the end, he didn't know whether it was because Little Grosvenor really liked and admired him that William actually agreed to take him to Germany.
Hunt in the forest around Wensil Castle and teach him some self-defense skills.
This made Grosvenor and his wife very happy. They were surprised and delighted to be able to talk to William like this. In their eyes, William's series of achievements were indeed worthy of their children's learning.
Unconsciously, it was 1:30 in the afternoon as they chatted. The servant came to inform the little Grosvenor that it was time to go back to school. The couple then asked the couple to take the little Grosvenor, who was still a little unsatisfied, to go to school.
After the child left, Mrs. Grosvenor very wisely asked the servants to bring new tea and snacks, and then left.
There were only two of them here, so there was no need to worry about talking so much. William took the initiative to ask Grosvenor about managing the land, and Grosvenor, who had something on his mind, answered every question with an attitude of knowing everything he could.
After chatting for half an hour, William felt very depressed when he heard that Grosvenor's housekeeper only had one person, four assistants and five people, and that the affairs of the company and the manor were basically taken care of by professionals.
At this moment, the established aristocrats had completely crushed him, the upstart, in terms of background. Grosvenor had a saying that made some sense when William thought about it. How could there be anyone in this world who could be completely trusted and who would not allow others to have contact and work?
Opportunity, how can I find a suitable steward and subordinate?
But there are too many secrets in him, and exposing any one of them will cause big trouble, "Forget it, let's talk about the topic, you didn't come to me just to get to know your little prince, right?"
"Of course not," Grosvenor thought for a while and said, "I received an invitation from the Four Seasons Hotel a few days ago. They want to build a five-star hotel in the former Grosvenor Square, now Devonshire Square.
hotel apartment complex,
I also have an 8-story building over the square, and if you add the shopping mall on the northeast corner, the two buildings can be connected to build a super-large luxury hotel apartment covering an area of 4 acres."
"Cooperating with a fourth-level hotel?" William was stunned by this news.
He has been thinking about finding any reason to clear out these tenants these days, because ever since he knew that Amir Barkawi was targeting him, William had been thinking about how to get Amir Barkawi to target him.
On the buildings in the square.
After buying Grosvenor Square before, and knowing a little about the specific situation, he had the idea of demolishing the four five- and six-storey buildings surrounding the square.
However, after consulting a lawyer, we found that if we wanted to clear out the four buildings, we would need to compensate the tenants for more than 100 million pounds, and there was a 70% chance that the tenants would not agree to take the money and leave.
Because the money they can make by continuing to operate is not as much as William will compensate them, and since there is no way to reasonably clear out these tenants, then it is okay to let Amir Barkawi, an empty-handed element, blow them up.
William might even be able to make some money from this to build a new building.
He had checked the insurance of these four buildings before, and Grosvenor had placed an insurance premium worth US$300 million on these four buildings that were hundreds of years old.
As long as Barkawi blows up the building, it will not only help him clear out the tenants, but also help William get a permit for a new building. After all, the building must be rebuilt if it is abandoned.
Normally, it would not be that easy for William to obtain a reconstruction permit, because the square is located in the Mel District, the center of London, and many buildings are old buildings with historical value, so there is no possibility of demolition.
