Chapter 334
"Damn it, let go of me," said these words to William, and the two hugged for a long time, and Abigail, who didn't want to be gossiped, struggled.
"Well, I'll teach you a lesson tonight." Released Abigail, William walked to the head of England's foreign embassy in France, thanking him and several other high-ranking people for attending the signing ceremony.
As William is the new richest man in England, the people from the foreign office are of course willing to establish a good relationship with him, maybe we can have an intersection sometime.
After introducing each other, everyone started chatting with glasses of wine. After a few minutes, the scene became noisy. Soon, the people from the foreign office whispered to William and their leader Ronnie, "Mr. Boss Barrel is here."
"Let's go, Mr. Devinhill, let's pick up the most unlucky boss who hasn't had a good day since he took office, Mr. Kellner Bacon," Ronnie joked.
"Okay," William nodded, followed Ronnie to wait outside the elevator, and then asked Ronnie jokingly in a low voice, "What is the temper and character of this Mr. Bucket who hasn't had a good day?"
"The temper is not bad, but he has a strong smell of a Gallic rooster, he doesn't care about any affairs outside France, and he has a serious habit of being late,
Except for official business, if the appointment is at nine o'clock, then Mr. Zong Tong will never arrive earlier than ten ten nine o'clock. It is commonplace to be half an hour late, and many times he will arrive early Stay outside and let you wait for him for ten minutes before seeing you. "
"So special," William chuckled softly.
"It's just so special." Ronnie laughed, "But these are not big problems, they are easier to get in touch with than those with special hobbies. If he gets in touch with more, you may become friends."
"Thank you, let's forget about becoming friends. I don't believe in a real Gallic rooster. After seeing me, the devil who bought their national treasure, he can chat with me happily. He can come to this signing ceremony It has been surprising."
"No, no," Ronnie said with a strange face, "The purpose of his coming here is definitely not the signing ceremony. With so many people opposing it, if he didn't have other purposes, he would be an idiot for coming here."
"Maybe I came here to seek investment from you," Ronnie said, staring at William with a strange smile, "Anyone who is capable knows that you have at least tens of billions of dollars in cash in the bank.
So in the eyes of Kellner Bacon, who has been short of money, you are a mobile vault, and of course he has to find a way to lead you to the French vault and lock it up."
Chapter 470 Some people just don't understand the situation
It was a joke to lock William up in the vault, but it was real to want real dollars out of his pocket.
As soon as Kellner Bacon came, after dealing with the people from the Bank of France, he went directly to William after being reminded by his subordinates.
"Hi, Mr. Devonhill, I'm Kellner Bacon, I'm glad you can invest in France, if you have any problems, you are welcome to call me or come to me directly."
"Thank you." William looked at Kellner Bacon with some surprise. Did this guy treat him like this or did he always speak so directly? But now is not the time to think about it,
He quickly shook Kellner Bacon's hand and said with a smile, "If there is a suitable investment opportunity, of course I will not let it go, but some people don't seem to welcome me."
"It doesn't matter, some misunderstandings can be solved with the passage of time," Kellner said affirmatively, "I personally welcome any legal investment, and at the same time assure you that I will protect your legitimate rights and interests during my term of office."
"Haha, thank you sir."
William just listened to this kind of scene, and he would be a fool if he really believed it, and there were not many projects in France that were worthy of his own investment.
The only capable people he is interested in are the few luxury goods companies and power companies.
Now is not a good time for luxury companies to start. Only when the financial reports of these companies are released at the end of the year will the performance of these companies decline severely, and the stock prices will drop sharply.
However, I don’t even have the confidence to acquire William, especially Chanel. Although the equity is very scattered, the capital has always had a lot of confidence in it for decades. Only when shareholders go bankrupt or are about to go bankrupt, it is possible to acquire a part of the shares.
Seeing that William was not interested in chatting, Kellner knew in his heart that it was not a good time to talk in detail. After thinking for a few seconds, he whispered to William, "Maybe we can talk in London in a few days."
Then the voice became louder and he laughed, "I won't bother you to sign the contract. Although I don't have much time, I still hope to leave after drinking the celebration wine."
"No problem, we will hold the signing ceremony right away," several major shareholders of the Bank of France quickly echoed.
These guys really thought they were the bosses, and they didn't even discuss with themselves if they wanted to save the pre-signing process. William, who had seen them upset earlier, grinned, "You can do whatever you want."
After finishing speaking, he stood up straight, looked at Kellner motionless, stared blankly at Kellner who didn't know why, and couldn't help feeling annoyed.
And the chairman of the Bank of France, Frank Deli, saw that William didn't save any face for him at all, and he didn't want to leave for a while, or if he didn't leave, his face quickly turned red.
The atmosphere at the scene gradually became awkward, and some people who didn't know why whispered to those who saw what happened.
Seeing Frank Deli and other bank shareholders whose faces became more and more ugly, William smiled and said, "Please, Mr. Deli, don't worry about me."
Frank Deli was irritated by this remark
Almost swearing, but finally rational, the Bank of France must get the $3.5 billion in funds from William,
In addition, he knew that William deliberately embarrassing him was revenge on him, so he suppressed his anger and kept silent, turned his head and looked away as if he didn't hear it.
Signing must be signed. Even if someone deliberately ignores it, William will not struggle with money, but he should also have a good attitude. To deal with some idiots who can't see the situation clearly, you have to give him a slap in the face first.
Just about to say a few more words of ridicule, Kellner stared at Frank Delly and the other shareholders of the Bank of France for a few seconds after hearing his subordinates whispering to him.
Then he smiled and said to William, "Sorry, it seems that I was too impatient."
When everyone looked at him, Kellner continued, "Today is the 20th anniversary of my wife's acquaintance, Mr. Devonhill, if possible, please don't let me, who has never had much time for my wife, be here Dishonored today."
Of course William could hear such a clear nonsense, and all 90 people at the scene knew that it was a lie as a last resort, but in their hearts they admired Kellner's quick thinking and his words without any reason.
He didn't look for reasons that can be easily found out such as marriage and birthday, but instead said that the anniversary of his acquaintance with his wife was a reason that the husband and wife could make up whatever they wanted.
"Since that's the case, of course it's fine," William, who had no intention of refusing the visa, came down the steps as someone came down the steps, and said with a smile, "The twentieth anniversary should indeed be celebrated. Congratulations, Kellner."
"Thank you," Kellner replied with a smile as if nothing had happened. "So how about we start now?"
"Of course, I don't want to be blamed by your wife."
Seeing William let go, many people at the scene were relieved, and at the same time looked at the shareholders of the Bank of France with contempt.
Since it was decided to sell Chantilly Castle regardless of the opposition of the public, it would be too deliberate and irrational to deliberately ignore William, the half master, as a show.
After today, when the news got out, not only would the people not understand their actions, but they would laugh at these people for their lack of brains, and push William, who might be a helper, to the enemy.
William smiled mischievously and signed the contract with Frank Deli, who looked a little uneasy, and then walked off the signing table without shaking hands with Frank Deli regardless of etiquette, and handed the contract to Anthony, saying,
"You take the contract back to study, and at the same time gather people to find a way. I want to separate the Chantilly Castle from the 7,800 hectares of land. From now on, the Chantilly Castle is just a castle, understand?"
Anthony froze for a moment, and silently complained in his heart that William slapped his face in the face for his quick temper, and made it clear to the outside world that he and the Bank of France were not in the same group so quickly.
But Anthony didn't dare to say these words when William was angry, and immediately replied, "No problem, boss."
Ignoring the reception after signing the contract, William, Kellner, and Ronnie, the head of the English Foreign Office, greeted each other and took Abigail back to Oxford Castle by helicopter.
Back at the castle, Abigail, who hesitated all the way whether to say it or not, carefully reminded, "Boss, you..."
"Okay, I know what you want to say, but I haven't thought about developing Chantilly Castle and those lands in the short term. No matter how angry these Frenchmen are with me, time will wear away their anger. Who cares after a few years Château de Chantilly, which no longer belongs to them".
William didn't care about these things at the moment. When he was on the helicopter, he kept thinking about what Kellner told him that he would come to London to chat with him in a few days.
Kellner will come to London at this time, and the only reason he can think of is the funeral of James, the first project in England, "Ask Sunday or the servants of the castle if you don't understand anything, I still have something to do."
After finishing speaking, Abigail, who didn't care about her complexion, came to the basement.
"Sunday, look up something to do with James' first item."
"Okay, sir".
