Chapter 255

"Didn't you buy it with cash?" Grand Duke Grosvenor interjected and asked, "I thought they were crazy. Even if they lacked cash flow, they couldn't sell antiques at a 30% discount. I didn't expect the money to be exchanged."

Prince Charles, who had been silent for a while, said, "William, with your character and the old way of Duke Devon, it seems that this way of making money is a little different?"

"Haha, of course, that is a way to make more than 500 million US dollars a year. If you are lucky or a little cruel, one billion a year is not difficult. This topic ends here, gentlemen, you can ask the others. Duke Wen".

"One billion dollars a year, ha, it's no wonder that the old guy from Archduke Devon even said he didn't have time to ask him. It turned out that he wanted to keep all the profits in the Devonshire aristocracy."

"No, Your Majesty, you are wrong, as far as I know, there are several other county nobles who are very close to the Duke of Devon. Recently, some nobles who are short of money are trying to buy the ancient antiques in their hands at a low price. , if someone hadn't asked me if I would accept Chinese antiques, we might not have known the news until William and the Duke of Devon completed the transaction."

"So, we've been left out by some people," Wilson wondered.

"Hehe, what's so strange? One billion dollars a year sounds like a lot, but it's not divided between one or two people. Of course those who participated will keep it a secret. If it were you, you would also keep it a secret," Philip laughed He explained to his grandson, and then said to William, "Since you are collecting antiques from the Celestial Dynasty, you don't mind collecting some from us."

William understood what Philip meant, "Of course I don't mind, but the new way I left in my hands is to settle this batch of antiques with the Duke of Devon, and the transaction with you can only wait until the next time."

"William, you should be able to guess that the billion-dollar antiques are unlikely to be all good things. There will definitely be a lot of ordinary things in them, and you are so smart, you should know the advantages of doing business by comparing and competing." , Archduke Grosvenor reminded with a smile.

Everyone knows this truth, but it is not a good choice to eat Western food after eating the owner. Not only will they offend the old customers, Archduke Devon and the others, King Philip and others may not appreciate William in their hearts.

The relationship between the English nobles is inextricably linked, and it is not in vain to say that the relationship is not in vain. Today, they are hostile to each other, and maybe tomorrow they will come together because of common interests.

"Although I really want to see the antiques in your hands, I still have the business ethics that I should have. I can only say sorry this time."

"Okay, who made us the latecomers?" Philip waved his hand to stop the Grand Duke of Grosvenor who wanted to say something. He knew that when the Grand Duke of Grosvenor had just inherited the title, some great nobles shot him, so he Like William, he does not value the tacit understanding between some nobles.

But he, the head of all the nobles, had to consider the balance between the nobles and maintain the inherently unstable relationship.

"So, what about the new company you own, are you interested in letting us take a share?"

Philip's words made the Grand Duke of Grosvenor, who wanted to say something, immediately shut up, and even the eyes of Prince Charles and Prince Wilson lit up.

The prospect of the new bulletproof equipment company is a good project that can be seen and touched. To tell you a joke, the five people here are all wearing new bulletproof suits today. The price of a set of 5 million pounds is really distressing. .

But if it can become an antique of this company, it is not distressed, but elated.

Philip knows that the original stock is not so good, and he is ready to let William slaughter it, but William smiled and said: "I remember that you promised me at the beginning that you would help lobby the Oxford City Government to put Germany on the ground. Nearly 30,000 acres of land near Vinhill Castle were sold to me, Your Majesty, can you tell me how this is going now?"

Chapter 357: Change the land and don't care about them

Philip knew that if there was no satisfactory explanation for William about the land, he would not want to have any cooperation with William.

Sitting silently on the sofa, thinking about the gains and losses, Philip asked after a long time, "I want to know what your valuation of the new body armor company is, and have you mentioned the land to Grand Duke Devon? I remember it was me at the time. I promised you together with him, and now if the person who fulfills the promise becomes me, what compensation will I get?"

"Compensation?" William shook his head amusingly. "This is something you promised me. Whether you do it alone or with Archduke Devon has nothing to do with me, I just want the result."

Waved to stop Wilson, who wanted to speak, William smiled and said to Philip, "However, if your sincerity is more than Archduke Devon, I will be more inclined to your side for any good projects in the future."

"But," Wilson was about to say something when he felt the hand of his father, Prince Charles, on the back of his.

Seeing Wilson looking at him, Prince Charles patted Wilson on the back of his hand with a smile. Wilson, who wanted to speak, immediately shut up and sat down.

Philip glanced at his son and grandson. Although Wilson has always performed very well, it depends on who he is compared with. Compared with William, who is only one and a half years older than Wilson, the difference is too far, which makes Philip feel a little bit. The feeling of helplessness that I can't even touch the taillights of the car.

However, he also thought that he wanted the king's heir in peacetime. If Wilson was like William, it would not be a good thing, maybe the country would be in chaos because of this.

Thinking of this, Philip was satisfied with Wilson again, smiled and said to William, "Very good, give me a few days, I will help you get the land, but there is a premise, I am only responsible for persuading the city of Oxford Councillor, make sure they won't stop you from taking over. As for how much land you can buy from the landlords, the price is high

It's all your own business."

"Of course," William didn't even think about it. All he wanted was the consent of the council. The other thing was just money. During the economic crisis, there were some landlords who couldn't hold on to it. Don't care, because the current land price has more than doubled compared to last year.

As for the unfavorable factors such as low land returns and slow returns, William doesn't care. He doesn't rely on land to make money. He buys tens of thousands of acres of land. ?

If you lose money, then leave it vacant and use it as a grass field. A grass field the size of tens of thousands of football fields can make people feel happy, and it can also be used as a grass field for those sweaty horses in his family.

"Since you need to deal with those politicians, how about doing me a favor".

"You said," Philip said with a smile.

"I want to demolish the Stamford Stadium and build a new modern stadium that can seat more than 60,000 people. The reconstruction has to be approved by the Fulham District Council."

"Wait, William, you should go to Grosvenor for this matter, he must have a way to help you, whether it's rebuilding or finding a new address," Philip smiled and looked at Grosvenor, "Grosvenor But the guy who claims to own half of London, I remember the property on the west side of Stanford Stadium as if it was him."

"Really", William looked at Archduke Grosvenor in surprise, "It seems that today's meeting is arranged by God, Lord Grosvenor, you will not refuse a request from a junior."

This made Wilson, who had been listening, rolled his eyes and couldn't help comparing himself with William. It seemed that he still didn't learn William's shamelessness. A few seconds ago, William ignored the Archduke of Grosvenor. He ignored it, but as soon as he begged someone, his expression and tone changed immediately.

"Haha, no, you don't have to worry about me saying no, because I also want to take a stake in your new company, and it's in the name of my child, Hugh Grosvenor, and I won't give you any cash because Hugh is in his name. No money, but if you want land in London, we can talk and maybe I can give you some advice on your new stadium."

William gestured for Grosvenor to continue.

"My suggestion is, I'll sell you the community next door to the west of Stamford Stadium, which is three times the size of the current Chelsea Stadium, big enough for you to build any stadium, and when the new stadium is built, you tear down the old stadium, build high-rise districts,

Compensate me with 25 times or 3 times the size of the residential area, so that not only no one can gossip, but your new stadium plus the supporting area can become 3 times the size, although it costs more, but the land price compensates you in disguise, and I got a new building 25 times the size without paying a penny.”

This method is good. William didn't talk about 25 times or 3 times. Once the building is built, it will be several floors higher, and the cost will not increase too much.

Although Grosvenor got 25 or 3 times the size of the housing, the others were at a disadvantage. It is not only expensive to clear the tenant, but also very troublesome.

For the second time cost, even if the new stadium finds a Chinese infrastructure company, no matter how fast the speed is, don’t think about it in a year or two. If the old stadium is demolished, it will have to wait another year. possible,

Third, although the building has become taller, the land has become smaller, which is actually a disadvantage in the long run.

But Grosvenor is not an idiot. Although he will suffer a loss, the loss is time. As long as he can invest in William's new company, he will definitely not lose money financially, and he can leave a non-foundation for his son without any hidden dangers. wealth.

The wealth of the Nishiji Min family is all in the family foundation. If the money is clear, it does not belong to him Grosvenor himself. In the early years, in order to avoid those who peeped at his family wealth, he had to set up a family foundation.

But although the wealth has been preserved, when he has had enough to use the money over the years, he has to act in accordance with the rules of the foundation.

It is foreseeable that in the future, when he dies, his son Hugh Grosvenor will also appear like him. He looks super rich, but wealth cannot be arbitrarily controlled.

Now that the wealth of the family foundation is exchanged for his son to get a ticket to the super ship William It's not that easy.

As for the issue of inheritance tax for his son in the future, he can't control it. After all, he had already gone to see God at that time. No matter how difficult it was, wouldn't he donate his wealth to the family fund.

"As for the council," Grosvenor smiled, "William, if you don't mind donating some money to Fulham, and at the same time appeal to the fans, let them act, and then put some works that don't affect the schedule and cost or Purchasing to businessmen in Fulham, I promise that within a week our plan will be approved by the District Council, as long as the Fulham District Council agrees, the City Council of London does not need to care about them.”

Chapter 358 Tell me what you want

"Don't care about the city council, what is there that I don't know about?" William asked curiously.

"Haha, yes, last month, there was a district road reconstruction project that was dragged on for almost two years, and it started without the consent of the city council. In this difficult time, some people are willing to pay for road repairs, but those district residents are not willing to do so. They will care about the city council that hasn't agreed after 2 years of delay, they can agree to it themselves, and the big deal will end up with a fine of tens of thousands of pounds."

"The district council agreed, and the result is good. The last thing the City of London can do is to fine him, William, you don't care about the ten or two or three thousand pounds, right?" Prince Charles laughed aside. .

"Of course, for this amount of money, if they want, I'm even willing to make them fine every month, only

I want them to stop bothering me."

"Hahaha", everyone shook their heads and laughed, Grosvenor teased, "I heard that some district councillors don't have any subsidy except for their salary. If you say this, those poor district councillors outside Greater London will say Maybe it's really going to be the idea."

Listening to the good news reported on Sunday, William's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry about him, just do good deeds."
