Chapter Four hundred and seventy-six there is nothing wrong with being a great noble
After hearing Lian Kellner Bacon's words, William understood in his heart that the 1 million pound watch-type detector was indeed too luxurious and ostentatious for the officials.
Even Kellner, the general manager, has to think twice. There are certainly not many politicians with lower status than him who would dare to buy.
It is impossible to reduce the price. After all, the detector is the only one in the world. If sales cannot increase, then it can be customized according to customer needs. Anyway, it is Sunday, and the cost will definitely not be much higher.
"Thank you. It seems that I really should listen to customers' suggestions more, so as not to stay alone in the laboratory and invent things behind closed doors. Although the things I invented are useful, they have not found the market positioning."
"Haha, I hope it helps you," Kellner said happily, "Maybe if you have the opportunity, you can consider setting up a factory in France. We can set up some preferential policies for you with such high-tech products."
After hearing this, William smiled and shook his head, "I have to think about this, but I am honored to be invited by you personally." He looked at his watch again, "Sorry, Kellner, I really have to go. See you in the church later."
.
"Well, see you later," Kellner nodded.
After sending William off in person, Kellner's personal assistant Kevin walked up to him and whispered, "Boss, you don't have to lower yourself to win over William Devon Hill."
These words made Kellner dissatisfied, feeling helpless that Kevin, his personal assistant and chief of staff, was only good at publicity and did not understand economics.
He explained in a low voice, "You have to understand, if I hadn't tried so hard to win him over, he, who was originally dissatisfied with the Bank of France, would have attacked the Bank of France, whose stock price had plummeted, in the stock market.
Maybe this bank, which has been established for hundreds of years and ranks third in France in terms of assets, will go bankrupt. What will I do to save them and how will I save them?
Now it's just a matter of saying some nice words to stabilize him and make him a good friend. Why not let go of a little face issue?
And don’t forget, even if I can stay in this position for two terms, I will only be 59 years old when I retire. Who knows what will happen in the future, let alone what if William really invests a lot of money in France?"
Kevin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Well, since you are thinking about nine years later, William Devonshire, who has great potential, is indeed worth wooing."
.....
After leaving the pier, William returned to his car and drove to Buckingham Palace.
It took seven or eight minutes, after two inspections and another inspection outside the palace gate, before William's car drove into Buckingham Palace.
After parking the car, I saw from a distance many lobster soldiers wearing bright red woolen coats and high hats lining up.
When the housekeeper who came to pick up William saw that he was interested in those lobster soldiers, he explained, "At 9:30, the royal family will hold a separate send-off ceremony for James' first son. The German Chancellor, Ms. Agnes, will accompany His Majesty Philip to watch it. Do you have
Those who are interested can take a look together.”
I looked at my watch and saw that it was already 9:05. I recalled the memories in my mind and found that there was no scene of Philip attending the ceremony in my memory.
Within a few seconds, William decided to take care of Philip first, and if the situation allowed, he would save Agnes, "Let's go, take me to see King Philip."
"Okay, sir." The butler nodded, picked up the box on his hand, opened it, took out a golden work badge and said, "Mr. Devonshire, this is a work badge specially prepared for you by His Majesty."
A golden work badge? William took a look at it curiously. It had his photo on it, and the identity shown in the information column was whether he was a special adviser to the royal family's secret service team or a consultant with the title of monarch.
"Advisor? When did I have the title of king and become a major directly?"
"Mr. Devonshire, this status is just an honor. It is for your convenience to accompany His Majesty Philip today. It has nothing to do with active service." The butler explained with a smile.
"The scope of authority of the royal secret service team is only around Buckingham Palace and His Majesty Philip, and it is only responsible for protecting the royal family and is not responsible to anyone else or any other department."
"But I don't remember when I agreed to join the special service team." William stared at the butler dissatisfied.
"Please don't mind, sir, this is a helpless move." The butler smiled as always, "It's just a temporary status, otherwise it would be difficult for us to find a suitable status and reason to keep you by His Majesty Philip's side."
Before William could get angry, the butler quickly said, "After today, you can continue to retain this identity or quit directly. I guarantee you won't have any trouble."
After hearing this, William suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "It's not bad, but I can't guarantee that I won't lose face with Wilson."
"Haha, you can do whatever you want. I think His Majesty and His Highness Charles won't mind." The old butler laughed, "Mr. Devonshire, as an old friend who has known your grandfather Henry Devonshire for decades,
Please remember, regardless of whether you have a sense of belonging to the nobility or not, your birth has determined that you and we are in the same camp.
If you don’t want to accept the status of a noble, then reject it as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be good for everyone if you delay for a long time.”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and motioned for William to follow him.
William was stunned for a moment by these words. He was indeed too indecisive on whether to have a noble title. Since he didn't want to make his mother sad, inheriting the title of earl was already an established fact, and he really shouldn't be half-hearted.
Thinking about it carefully, the reason why he resists the noble status in his heart is probably because of the celestial heart in his soul. Since the celestial dynasty can no longer go back, there is really no need to waver anymore.
Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about money, and he has no intention of going in the direction of power. There is nothing wrong with being a super rich nobleman.
Thinking of this, William hung his ID tag on the left breast pocket of his coat and walked quickly to follow the old butler. However, to his surprise, the butler did not take him inside, but instead walked towards the main entrance near the street.
This allowed many people who came to wait at the iron fence outside the palace early in the morning to quickly recognize him.
When he heard someone yelling his name outside the iron fence, William had to smile and wave. When he saw many older people waving to him, he deliberately patted his left chest and nodded in return.
This polite gesture made those who stared at him feel comfortable, and they also noticed the golden ID tag hanging on his shirt.
A long shot of the live broadcast immediately focused on the ID badge, and the picture was then broadcast to televisions in homes across England.
This surprised everyone that William actually became a royal advisor without saying a word. The host in the live broadcast room quickly received the information and explained to everyone that this position must be a high noble and a noble trusted by the royal family.
get.
Then, before William walked into the main door, he was waving because he had not buttoned his shirt, and the gun handle under his armpit was lifted up and was captured in the flash of the camera.
Everyone who saw this scene had strange expressions on their faces, and an unknown feeling could not help but arise in their hearts.
Who is William? He is a super rich man with a net worth of more than 20 billion or even 30 billion US dollars. Is it really necessary for a person of his status to carry a gun in such an occasion?
