The negotiation lasted until 11 o'clock in the night. Before William could make any extra moves, someone from the Bank of France actually asked William to live in the manor after receiving a phone call to facilitate negotiations.
Although the manor in London was large, it only had 12 rooms that could accommodate William. He didn't want any outsiders to live in his home.
But with Pierre's abnormal behavior, William immediately understood that it was an accident in the bank. In this situation, the negotiating team that let go of the bank would be really idiots.
After thinking for a while, I made a call to the airline. More than forty minutes later, five helicopters appeared over the manor. The two negotiating teams from the bank and Yuexida, who had been prepared long ago, boarded the four helicopters in batches.
The helicopters took off and landed, which confused the paparazzi and reporters waiting outside the manor. They couldn't understand why so many helicopters appeared in the manor even after 12 o'clock in the night.
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, the last helicopter carrying William took off and flew towards Oxford. An urgent interview helicopter followed William quickly.
When they flew to Oxford, the reporters learned that William was taking people from the Bank of France to avoid them and go to a more secluded castle to continue the conversation.
As soon as the interview helicopter that had been following behind entered the 34,000 acres of land purchased by William, a warning sounded in the pilot's earphones.
They were warned that they had flown into private territory. After three warnings, the castle had the right to carry out limited self-defense, and any damage caused would be their own responsibility.
The reporters didn't take Sunday's warning seriously at all. It's not like they had never encountered such a warning before. Even if they really invaded private property, but if they couldn't use weapons, the owners of the private property would at best use helicopters to drive them away.
But what these people encountered this time was William and Sunday. After three more warnings failed, the pilots and reporters who were interviewing the helicopter suddenly discovered that within a few kilometers, more than a dozen high-power searchlight poles were shining directly into the sky. Then these light poles turned to
Aimed at them.
More than a dozen dazzling lights immediately enveloped the entire plane, making it impossible to even open your eyes, let alone take pictures or look at the sky on the ground.
Fortunately, the pilot was an experienced pilot and immediately relied on his experience to keep the helicopter in the air. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the temperature inside the aircraft was slowly rising.
This scared everyone on the plane half to death. The pilot hurriedly begged Sunday for mercy, and then turned to fly back to London under Sunday's instructions.
Arranged for a group of bank negotiators who had just watched a lively meeting to rest in a guest building newly built according to 4-star standards in the castle, with 24 suites of 70 square meters each.
Anthony and several main leaders of the Yuexida negotiating team went to the living room of the castle to ask for a meeting with William.
As soon as he met Anthony, he said happily, "Boss, it seems that there is a big problem with the Bank of France. When we were at the manor just now, we could no longer continue the negotiations and wanted to end today's negotiations.
After the old guy Pierre received a call, his attitude completely changed. It seemed that the situation of their bank was very bad, and they might even have to sell the Chateau Chantilly.
"Of course, this kind of opportunity doesn't come around all the time. If you don't lower the price, you'd be a fool." William nodded with a smile. He didn't care about taking advantage of others' danger, which is immoral.
There is no morality to talk about with the capitalists. Putting himself in someone else's shoes, William believes that the people at the Bank of France will definitely make the same decision as him.
"The biggest weapon I can give you is probably that as long as the negotiation is completed, the money will be paid immediately and in cash. The rest is up to you. Guys, my bottom line is now 3.2 billion US dollars.
Below this line, you can all get a 15% gain, which means that when the price reaches 3.1 billion US dollars, you will get an additional bonus of 15 million US dollars. You must understand that it is extra, so if you want to live a good life, start fighting."
"Haha, no problem."
"Long live boss".
The stimulating effect of cash was obvious. Not only did the number of people at Yuexida not decrease the next day, but there were more than ten assistants. The two sides went back and forth with each other for several days.
The price also dropped from more than 5 billion at the beginning to 3.9 billion and became unnegotiable.
When he couldn't talk, he continued to delay. Anyway, William was not in a hurry. He returned to the castle in the past few days. In addition to meeting with Yuexida's team every morning and evening to understand the situation,
At other times, William is either staying in the basement using a 3D virtual imager and drawing outline drawings of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, or dealing with the 34,000 acres of land newly purchased by the castle, or dealing with trivial matters such as the castle's new horse farm.
After a few days, and even a week at sea, the black ghost looking for the snake's head and the sheep's head and the eight tons of gold returned to Devonshire Castle. Only then did William know why the Bank of France was so eager to sell.
Château de Chantilly,
It was because a trader from their bank used the bank's reputation to speculate in futures and not only suffered huge losses, but also took advantage of the bank's unfavorable supervision to falsely buy and sell short.
Preliminary estimates on Sunday indicate that the Bank of France will lose at least US$7 billion this time, and US$7 billion is exactly the bank's profit for two years.
What's even more fatal is that if this matter is exposed, their bank's reputation will immediately fall to the bottom.
However, everyone understands that this kind of thing cannot be completely covered up. It is only a matter of time before it is exposed. Their biggest hope now is to fill this hole first.
That's why the Bank of France is so eager to talk to William about the Chateau Chantilly and the antiques in the castle, because of the 5 billion US dollars in cash he has in the bank.
As long as they get this money, their bank can survive without even issuing new shares.
William had seen the black ghost who had returned that afternoon. He had put away the two snake heads and sheep heads he had brought back. Before they had even had a few words to talk, Pierre, the general manager of the Bank of France, knocked on the door and asked to talk to William privately.
"Is there what I'm talking about in that big tree?" William asked Pierre to sit down and asked the black ghost who was standing upright.
"Yes, sir, the thing is indeed in the big tree,"
"Very good," another eight tons of gold was about to be obtained, which made William feel good. "We'll chat later," he waved to Black Ghost to leave first.
Black Ghost bowed and slowly exited the room.
William walked to the wine cabinet and asked Pierre, "What do you want to drink, Mr. Pierre?"
"Whatever, it would be best if there was good French red wine," Pierre said listlessly.
“What about the Latour from 1990?”
These words cheered up Pierre who was in a terrible mood, "Mr. Devonshire, do you really have a 90-year-old Latour? This is a collection of fine wine."
"Haha, it seems you are also a lover of red wine," William snapped his fingers, and the hidden wine cabinet immediately sent a bottle of 90-year-old Latour from the underground wine storage.
Taking out the wine bottles from the wine cabinet, William was very satisfied with this hidden and anti-theft wine cabinet. From now on, no one can directly search for good wine from his wine cabinet.
