Chapter 312

"What?" William, who was drinking, looked up suspiciously, "Why?"

When Shen Cheng finished speaking just now, he kept staring at William. Seeing that William really didn't understand what he meant, he said, "Why are you so rich? There are so many antiques in your hand that they can't even fit in the bank's underground vault, more than 10 billion US dollars. You don't know how to use it in the bank,

They will not hesitate to play a trick that can’t stand on the table in order to get a few bronze heads. Is this the nature of capitalists, who ignore basic morality for the sake of profit.”

"This," William froze for a moment, yes why?

There are already so many antiques from the Celestial Dynasty in my hand that I can only remember a number, so why bother to find a set of antiques that are not top-notch.

After thinking for a long time, William replied, "Maybe I really have too much money and no place to spend it, and the animal heads of the zodiac are too famous, so I thought about owning them."

"You can't make true friends by playing tricks."

"Anyway, I don't want to go to China to do business." She curled her lips, and after thinking for a few minutes, she said with certainty, "You're right. I'm William Devonhill. If you like copper heads, you can buy them. You don't need to hide them. If you want jadeite, mutton fat jade and other things, as long as you are willing to spend money, why do you have to find you?"

Chapter 441: Bought a street just for shopping

After William finished speaking, Shen Cheng clearly felt that William's unreasonable closeness to him disappeared. Not only that, William said directly, "Call me if you want to sell something good. It's too late and I have to rest. , Antonov will take you back, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, William ignored Shen Cheng who was thinking about why he was like this, went back to the bedroom to take a comfortable bath, and fell asleep with Abigail in his arms.

Early the next morning, while having breakfast with his mother and Abby, Antonov walked into the dining room with a suitcase, and whispered next to William, "Boss, Lawrence sent someone to bring the dragon head, and also brought a message that you and him The things mentioned are already in shape, and the things should be delivered within a few days."

"Yeah," William nodded, and was about to speak when a report suddenly came through the headset on Sunday, "sir, the white ghost has sent back a message, and there's a plan attached to it."

After listening to Sunday's report, William thought for a while and said to his mother, "Mom, do you want to go shopping today?"

"Do you have time?" Lena looked up at William happily, "Don't worry about your mysterious affairs."

After speaking, Lina thought for a while and shook her head, "Forget it, you'd better stay at home obediently, let alone go shopping now, as long as you go out, a lot of paparazzi will follow immediately, and you will still be in the mood to buy things."

William was a little embarrassed by his mother's words. He had indeed tossed too much recently, and he hadn't gone shopping with Lina for a long time.

After thinking about it, I suddenly thought of a very suitable luxury street, "Hey, it's simple",

Then he said to Sunday, "Help me buy the Burlington Arcade Mall and tell the manager of the mall that I will go shopping with my mother today and ask him to close the store."

"Okay, sir".

"God, are you crazy or did I hear it wrong?" William's decision was even more shocking than Lena's hearing that Chelsea was given to her as a birthday present. Buying a street just for shopping?

William laughed, "You heard me right, it doesn't cost much anyway, only fifty or sixty million pounds at most.

The investment value of arcade street, an old brand luxury street, is very high now. As long as you find a trendy designer, keep the characteristics of the arcade, and then add some new elements to renovate, it will easily attract a large number of tourists.

And as long as the two ends of the arcade are sealed in that place, it is easy to be foolproof in terms of security.”

"But wouldn't it be too ostentatious to buy a street just for shopping, God?" Lena held her forehead. More".

"Never mind him, who cares if I spend my own money, if the media dares to talk nonsense, I'll sue them." A model came out and sued them for bankruptcy."

"Okay, sir, message to send".

"No, boss, do you want to do this?" Abigail, who was sitting next to William, covered her mouth and said in shock, "Boss, what you do will not improve the relationship between you and Mrs. Lena in the media, but will intensify the confrontation." ".

"Ha," William pouted mockingly, "Even if you want to please them, these flies won't hold back when it's time to scold them, unless I become their boss."

"Well? Mother, how about I buy some of the big London papers?"

"Not good?" Lena glared at William, "Which of the groups behind those big newspapers is not a big power, an idiot will sell you, William, I don't want you to jump into this whirlpool, once you become Boss of a major newspaper, from now on those honest customers will stare at you all day long."

After thinking about it, it seems that this is indeed the case, "Okay, Mom, I will listen to you"

"Dingling", the phone rang suddenly, and Anthony's voice came from the connection, "Boss, everyone in the arcade asked for a price of 60 million pounds, and a one-time cash payment is required. This price is 23 higher than the market price. If you talk about the flowers, it should be able to reduce a lot, do you think?"

"Promise him that the contract and transfer will be completed as soon as possible. At the same time, you will inform the arcade that I will accompany my mother to go shopping at 9:30 in the morning, and let them wait for us to leave before opening."

"Understood, boss, I'll do it now."

After hanging up the phone, William said to Sunday, "Let the spider robot dispenser monitor the arcade, and then tell Barney and the three to go

Step on the spot, but don't show your face."

"Understood, sir, the task is being carried out, and it is estimated that the entire arcade can be monitored in half an hour."

After the arrangement was made, William looked at his watch and said to Lena and Abigail, "Mom, it's 8:11, and you have an hour to prepare."

"Ah," Abigail exclaimed, "I'm going too?" After speaking, she looked at Lena, seeing that her mother didn't say anything, she hurriedly kissed William on the face happily, said sorry to Lena, and then put it down. Tableware walked upstairs happily.

Lena looked at Abigail who was walking out of the restaurant quickly, stared at William and said, "You are not afraid of being found out by your girlfriend in New York."

"Ambrosio already knew about it," William shrugged, "It's okay mom, I'll take care of it."

"I hope." Lina shook her head helplessly and said, "Just don't cause a scandal." After finishing speaking, she put down the tableware and went upstairs to change her clothes and put on makeup.

40 minutes later, a group of people drove two bulletproof cars, ignored the paparazzi at the gate of the manor, and came to the arcade. When they got out of the car, they saw Anthony in a neat suit and a dozen of his men waiting for him.

Walking up to William, Anthony introduced the 50-year-old man in a decent suit standing beside him, "Boss, this is the general manager of Arcade Street, Mr. Hart-Stein."

After Anthony's introduction, Hart-Stein hurriedly reached out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Devinhill, I am Hart-Stein, and it is an honor to serve you and Mrs. Lena."

"It's nice to meet you too, Mr. Stein." William shook hands with Hartstein, "Let's go, there are too many people on the street, let's go in first."

"Okay sir, follow me please".

Hartstein stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, and walked into the arcade with the three of William and the bodyguards.

William took his mother and Abigail into the shopping mall for shopping, and enjoyed a rare leisure time, but there was a commotion outside the street.

The paparazzi in England is indeed the ancestor of the paparazzi. Within ten minutes, some paparazzi who knew people in the arcade got the news that the arcade was closed today because William wanted to go shopping with his mother.

Therefore, the entire street and the two 3-story commercial buildings on both sides of the street were directly closed and closed to the public until William and his son left.

In another ten or twenty minutes, the paparazzi got the news that the Arcade was changed hands again. The insider said that the whole transaction was finalized in less than ten minutes, and the exact price and who the buyer is is not yet known.

But William showed up here with his mother, so there was no need to think that the buyer must be William.

Now not only the paparazzi cheered, several TV stations sent reporters and interview vehicles to Burlington Arcade within 20 minutes.

Chapter 442 Someone Follows

It was less than an hour after William entered the arcade, the news about him appeared on the TV. The live reporters of several TV stations not only broadcast the news that William bought the arcade mall to accompany Lina to go shopping,

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. I spent a lot of time introducing the history and present of Burlington Arcade for more than 200 years. I also counted who is the richest among the previous owners. In the end, it is undoubtedly William.

In the show, the former owner of the arcade was probably the most unhappy person in the world, because when interviewing the former owner, he shouted that the sale was cheap. If he knew that the buyer was William, he would ask for 100 million pounds.

At 11:30 noon, Beep c TV station specially added a talk show, the content was to discuss whether William bought the Burlington Arcade like Lightning, whether it was mainly for investment, or just to go shopping with his mother Down the whole street.

"I think William's main purpose must be commercial considerations," Professor Tucci, the guest at the scene, said:
