Chapter Ninety-Four: The First Dinner in the Castle
Anthony and Ronthe looked at each other happily, and nodded secretly in their hearts, William, a 20-year-old young man in their eyes, is really different from young people in England, even human feelings can be so clear, and he doesn't feel a little arrogant and rude in the bones of rich people. Treat people closely, politely, good contact and very generous, rich will make money, and even have the title of earl waiting for William, God really favors him so much.
While the two of them were thinking about William's benefits, there was a knock on the door in the conference room, and Barney was heard saying to William outside the door, "Boss, Mrs. Lena has brought you coffee, can we come in?"
When William heard his mother coming, he stood up and said, "Come in." ”
As soon as the words fell, Barney opened the door, and after thanking Barney, his mother thanked Barney, and walked in with a smile and four maids with coffee pots, teapots, and snacks.
William stepped forward to greet his mother in a hug, and Lena smiled and nodded to everyone, "Hello gentlemen, I'm Lena Devonhill, William's mother, it's tea time, I've brought some desserts, coffee and tea."
Seeing that Lena was dignified and decent, full of aristocratic style, a group of people hurriedly got up and saluted Lena, the English people despised and envied the nobles, but if there was a chance to make them nobles, these guys would never refuse, just because England is no longer hereditary nobles, so the vast majority of English people hate, jealous, envy and hate male aristocrats.
But all this has changed in the beautiful aristocratic women, although the aristocracy has declined, but the influence of aristocratic culture is still very strong, and ordinary people have a very high acceptance of aristocratic beautiful women.
So these guys were all polite when they saw William's mother, and one guy even performed a knightly salute, which made William laugh in his heart.
After seeing everyone, Lena smiled and said to William: "William, you can have some afternoon tea and coffee snacks first, rest for a while, and by the way, can you eat lamb chops and salmon with mushroom soup for dinner?" The mushrooms were picked by Tina and me in the woods in the afternoon, and they are very fresh."
William looked at everyone and said, "Is that okay?"
"Of course, thank you, Mrs. Devon Hill."
"No problem, thank you, ma'am. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone was a little restrained about her, Lena nodded, "Okay, William, then I'll go and prepare, see the gentlemen for dinner" Lena gave a noble salute to everyone and went out to prepare dinner.
After afternoon tea, everyone was busy helping William prepare his asset tax declaration statements in England and the United States, and after completing the reports, they sat in the reception room and smoked cigars, drinking black tea and coffee and chatting.
Wait until 7 o'clock on time to call everyone to the restaurant to eat, today there are grilled lamb chops and pan-fried salmon, mushroom soup, William also specially opened 8 bottles of Latour and a few bottles of 89-year-old whiskey, called 6 members of the death squad, a total of 21 people sat down in the restaurant, the atmosphere of the dinner was very warm, everyone drank Latour, whiskey chatted and ate until half past nine in the evening.
William took the servants to take the 12 lawyers to a two-story guest house on the side of the castle, and there were two two-story wing rooms in the wing of the castle, one for the servants and the other for the guests.
All modern renovation, each room has more than 70 square meters, bedroom, living room, toilet and bathroom, all according to the standard of a 4-star hotel renovation of 24 rooms cost William more than 1.5 million pounds, the main castle renovation cost William more than 12 million pounds.
Together with the maid's room, gardens, lawns, woods, stables, shooting range, an indoor car park for more than 40 cars, an outdoor car park for 60 cars and a tarmac, it all cost William almost £18 million.
William only spent 4.5 million pounds to buy the castle, and it really costs money to live in the castle, this is still a country place like Oxford, if it is around London, the castle does not have 50 million pounds, don't want to buy it.
If you buy the 3,000 acres of land around the castle in the hands of the previous owner, you will have to spend another 10 million pounds, which is still the price of the land has fallen by 3 floors, and you don't want to buy it if you didn't pay 15 million pounds at once.
William would definitely buy the 3,000 acres of land, because these lands are also the ancestral property of the Devon Hill family, but the landowner lost a lot of money in the stock market this time, and after knowing that William had money, he wanted to make some money back on William, and he bit 15 million pounds. William is not a fool, it is clear that if he wants to kill him, then drag it, the land will fall more after a while, and when it falls to half of the previous price, see if that guy can hold on, anyway, William has no need for land now, and he bought it and rented it to people in Devon Hill Town, and he didn't expect to make money on the land.
After settling the lawyers, William took Barney and Christmas for a walk around the manor, "It's decided, tomorrow will be American"
Barney smiled and said to William: "Yes, boss, it's been three months since I came out, everyone is homesick, everyone has earned $1.5 million in the boss, and it's just time to go back to see my family, it's been too long to come out."
William looked at Christmas, and nodded when he saw Christmas, and knew that he couldn't keep these guys, forget it, it's impossible for the death squad to be their bodyguards all the time, these guys are very ambitious, let them fight must be all willing, but let them be bodyguards in peace, these guys won't want to be after a long time.
Anyway, there is no danger now, there is no problem in protecting Mother Lena and Tina in the castle, and there is a special safe room and tunnel in the castle, and the door and security of the safe room this time were installed by Barney and Christmas themselves, and no one else has taken over.
William was still very relieved about Barney and Christmas, "Okay, I'll help you fly directly to New York on a private jet tomorrow"
"Thanks, boss," Barney nodded to William together with Christmas, they had been in contact with William for so long, and they all thought that William was a good boss, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was really not interested in the job of a bodyguard, maybe it would be a good choice to stay in Devon Hill Manor all the time, and it would be good to settle in Devon Hill Town when they were old in the future.
"Boss, let's take you to the shooting range to see, most of the equipment you sent last time was placed there, and a small part of the equipment enough for 5 people was placed in the castle, one set in your study, one set by the fireplace in the hall, all of which were used with the secrets you gave, you can change it on the computer in the safe house later, the computer is a local area network, you can't connect to the external network, there is no problem with security, and there are 2 sets in the safe house, one in the tunnel, this set is put by Mrs. Lena herself, no one knows where the tunnel is except Mrs. Lena"
William nodded, this is fine, as long as he changes the password in the safe house, only himself and his mother Lena have permission to open the security measures in the castle.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon, I entered the city classification and strongly recommended, greatly help recommend, collect, thank you
