Chapter 457 Dealing with the issue of clearing shares before listing

Without entanglement with Philip and Grosvenardo, the three called a lawyer, spent more than two hours confirming the contract and all the details imaginable, and officially signed the share exchange contract.

Watching William sign his name on the contract and press the seal of the Devon Hill family, Philip and Grosvenor breathed a sigh of relief.

William was equally happy that as soon as the 20% stake arrived, his stake in England Power reached 68%.

As long as he does not concentrate the shares scattered in more than two dozen offshore companies, there is no need for him to inform the securities regulatory department, and he can still collect some shares from the market while the stock price of England Power has fallen sharply.

After calculating for so long, William is very happy that his wish has been fulfilled, the energy industry is where the Devon Hill family lives, and there will always be a time when the market is saturated for the products of the bulletproof company.

Now it looks very bright, but the ceiling of the company's market value is easy to estimate, after all, no matter how advanced and practical the company sells, it is also a niche.

There are many people who can sell it, but there are not many people who really need it, unless there are rich people in this world who are targeted, tied up, and assassinated.

As soon as this idea came out, William silently thought in his heart, if the plot in the movie appeared again in the future, would he let it go?

As long as there are no things or people that destroy this fancy world, will some small-scale chaos be allowed to develop?

MD, William suddenly woke up in his heart, this kind of thought is too dangerous, but why is there some secret joy in his heart.

Tighten your nerves, deal with Philip and Grosvenor, and walk towards Catherine and Garris, who are both expectant and hesitant.

When William didn't come before, the two of them talked to Philip and Grosvenor.

When they knew that William valued the bulletproof company at 5 billion pounds, both of them silently calculated in their hearts that 1% of the shares were worth 50 million pounds.

The two of them were busy selling desperately, and the money they earned in a few months was almost not enough to buy shares.

I wondered if William would let the two of them buy shares at a valuation of $1 billion as promised before

Looking at the two who were hesitant, William understood what they were worried about, "Don't worry, I always count when I speak, the valuation of 1 billion US dollars, Catherine 2%, Garris 1%, but the voting rights of these shares must be handed over to me, no problem."

"Of course, of course no problem".

Seeing that William didn't care that the sales of the two were not full of 200 and 100 integers, and the valuation was still according to the promised $1 billion, Catherine and Garris were greatly relieved and agreed with a smile on their faces.

If you don't agree, you are a fool, Catherine, a middle-aged woman with facial paralysis, not only showed a rare smile on her face, but also hugged William a little excitedly, "Thank you, I'm very happy to meet and cooperate with you."

"You're welcome, Catherine, I'm excited to work with you, and I think we'll be even closer in the future, right?"

"Of course", Catherine nodded with a smile, "I'll probably resign in a few days, does your previous invitation count?"

"So soon?" the news surprised William, "are you really willing to give up your current position?"

Catherine said with a helpless expression on her face, "You may not have paid attention to some things during this time, although no one can blame me for my disposition, but James's death has not only made my situation not better, but has become more and more difficult.

Hey, I can actually understand people's thoughts, when they think of James, they think that his death was indirectly caused by me."

Catherine shook her head and smiled a little reluctantly, "Forget it, it's good for everyone to leave directly now, not only to have a new job, but also to gain everyone's favor, and some things will be much easier in the future, I'm only 49 years old, who knows what will happen in the future?"

"Huh, smart choice", William immediately understood Catherine's thoughts, and chose to resign when everyone saw that she was uncomfortable, not only to gain the favor of her former colleagues, but also to make everyone feel that she was indebted.

Although it may not be able to translate into any actual benefits, when Catherine keeps a low profile for a few years and then kills again, the image score will be very advantageous.

And it's not like she's not without anything, at least she'll soon be able to become a shareholder in a company with very good prospects, which is a real benefit.

"You are willing to come to the new company as an executive sensible, of course I welcome, with your relationship over the years, I think our sales performance will not be low in the future, so, is the contract signed now or after you resign?"

Catherine thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to use the name of the fund, and there is no difference between signing now and signing later."

William shook his head, "If you have the idea of returning to politics, don't worry, it's good for everyone to leave no handle that people can grasp,

I guarantee that this 2% of the shares will be left to you, and although I am careful about some things, my reputation is absolutely full."

"Okay," Catherine nodded her head in agreement without thinking for a few seconds this time, just like William himself said, he was still very good in terms of credit, not to mention that William and her did not have any conflict of interest.

After talking about Catherine, the two looked at Garris, who was waiting on the side.

Garris spread his hands and smiled, "I definitely want to sign now, compared to the money, I will hand over my position now, there is no problem, and the Military Intelligence Agency doesn't care about domestic affairs,

Although I will be a little criticized for taking a stake in a company specializing in bulletproof products, it is not a problem, and at most I will not sell the company's products to the outside world in the future, and who can control the performance of the products that can be introduced to people."

"That's fine," Catherine nodded in agreement.

"Okay, if you think it's okay, sign the contract, but first, if you're forced to resign because of this, it doesn't matter to me," William reminded with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't blame you", Garris squinted and smiled, "The company can be worth 5 billion pounds now, and if nothing else is said in a few years, it's worth 10 billion pounds."

"£10 billion? I still have that confidence, maybe you can look forward to it and multiply it by four," William laughed.

"Hehe, that 1% stake is worth 400 million pounds, with so much money, the ghost still cares about his current position, maybe I can follow Catherine's example, take a break for a few years and come back, and then the ghost will be the person who specializes in dirty work."

"It's good if you have a plan, man, happy to work with", William smiled and held out his hand.

"Happy cooperation", Garris happily shook hands with William.

Calling a lawyer to sign the contract, Catherine, who had been watching, was even more relieved to see that Garris had signed the contract and officially became a shareholder of the company.

The contract was all settled, and Grosvenor, who was in a good mood, dragged everyone to his house to celebrate, with the intention of introducing his son to William.

However, in addition to William, who doesn't care about the impact, Catherine and Garris still have scruples about going to Grosvenor's house, and the two politely refuse.

Grosvenor didn't care about being rejected, and he didn't care even if Philip said he was going back for a lunch break, anyway, his main target was William.
