Chapter 393: £700 million project and breaking the tournament record
"OK", Wilson nodded, "You just have a good idea", took out his mobile phone and made a call, and a minute later there was a knock on the door of the luxury private room.
William said 'please come in', and saw Thomas, the head of Wilson's bodyguard, open the door and walk in with five or six Celestial Empire people, but to William's surprise, there was a person in the crowd who William had not waited for several days.
After half a second, William smiled and walked forward to shake hands with the guests to say hello, and after being polite, he led everyone into the reception room of the luxury private room, and sat down with the host and guest, William said directly, "I think Wilson should have told you the reason for this meeting."
"Yes, Mr. Devon Hill, we are glad to receive your invitation, the preliminary estimate of the time is fine, the only question is the source of the raw materials and the number of engineering teams".
William interrupted, "Stop, I'm not interested in how many engineering teams you are looking for, which engineering team you are looking for, and who you are looking for raw materials, I just want to know if you can complete the construction of the new stadium and supporting facilities within two years with quality and quantity for the 300 million pounds package for your group's registered company in England."
The first 300 million pounds of this year is worth nearly 3.7 billion Celestial Coins, and in the midst of hesitation, William added: "If your plan can satisfy me, I still have a 200 million pound museum waiting for you, and the time is also within 2 years.
If you do a good job in two years' time, then the demolition of the old stadium and the construction of three high-end residential buildings of more than 20 storeys on the original site can also be handed over to you, which means that this is a project worth a total of 700 million pounds."
"What?" Hearing the 700 million pounds, several senior executives of a certain construction group of the Celestial Empire in England immediately became excited, "Mr. Devon Hill, I think we need to adjourn the meeting for discussion and give you an answer later."
"No problem", William nodded, "you are free, you can call the private room service if you want, then gentlemen, see you later".
"Thank you".
William and Wilson, who had not spoken, walked out of the conference room and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of the private room with the whiskey handed over by Abigail.
"You're really going to give the Celestial Empire's London-registered company? man, it's a £700 million project, and the Celestial Empire's company can really build such a big stadium?"
"Can I scold you?" Wilson, you are too backward, and no one is an opponent of the Celestial Empire in infrastructure construction", William took a sip of whiskey and said with a smile, "And even if they don't make money this time, they will complete the project on time and with good quality, this is a rare advertising opportunity,
The construction company here in England and the Kangaroo country will take four years, but he will only need two years, can you imagine how much advertising benefit it will be if it is completed? And 700 million pounds they don't make money."
"I'm still a little unconvinced," Wilson said, shaking his head.
Chatting and chatting, before the 3-year-old male race, the 2-year-old horse race that had been warmed up first started, and the names and information of the horses were being broadcast on the radio, William patted Wilson, who was not on the horse at all, "Okay, man, the first race is about to start, interested in playing?"
Wilson hurriedly shook his head, "Don't get involved with me in betting on horses, if someone knows about me, I'll be in big trouble."
"Dizzy, then you can help me with the general staff, you must know more than me about horses since you were a child."
"Of course, it's okay to be a consultant, first of all, I'm only responsible for the introduction, there are a lot of accidents in horse racing, don't blame me if you don't win," Wilson laughs.
"It's okay, I'm just bored and just having fun."
Wilson thought for a while and said uncertainly, "The probability of running in the top three is relatively high for No. 5, No. 6 and No. 11, but I can't guarantee whether the specific horse will actually enter the top three."
"Hey, it's okay, just play", William picked up the pager in the private room and asked the manager to buy him a £1 million compound bet for No. 5, No. 6 and No. 11 to run into the top three, and No. 6 to win.
Wilson waited for William to finish buying before he said, "£1 million is what you said to be fun? God, I'm starting to regret talking too much, I'm not sure, it's weird if you buy a compound bet again."
Sure enough, after a few minutes of running, it was not the three horses that ran into the top three at all, No. 5.6.11, Wilson looked at this William shrugged, looking like you don't blame me, William laughed, patted Wilson's shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's just fun."
Seeing that William was really not angry, Wilson smiled and said, "Go on?"
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" William glanced at Wilson, "If I lose 1 million, I'll be an idiot to buy it as you say, and if you want to buy it, you can buy Chitu's."
"Haha, I thought you really didn't take money as money," Wilson smiled, "Your trainer didn't tell you that Real Ascot would never let owners bet on their horses."
"Well, there's still this rule?"
"Of course," Wilson affirmed.
The two chatted for another half an hour and finally came to the highlight of the day, the 3-year-old male horse competition, the red rabbit ranked 7th today, this position is not good or bad.
William and Wilson didn't wave their hands and shout like the audience in the auditorium, but Abigail, who was watching the horse for the first time, became a little excited, holding William's arm tightly with both hands, and staring at the red rabbit with his eyes.
"Toot toot" a few sounds, more than a dozen racing horses rushed out of the starting hurdle, the importance of the start of the speed race is self-evident, as soon as the 300 meters have basically seen the advantages and disadvantages.
Although the Red Rabbit is a little shorter than the English Thoroughbred, it still broke into the top three after 300 meters.
As soon as he saw the red rabbit rushing into the top three, William showed a smile on his face, according to the old Neil, the main trainer of the red rabbit, as long as the starting performance is not bad, the probability of the red rabbit winning the second half is very large, and now the first 300 meters are running into the top three, as long as there are no accidents, the red rabbit will win today.
"Come on, come on, Chitu", Abigail shouted Chitu's name in a non-standard tone, as soon as the race passed 1600 meters, Chitu, who had been ranked third, began to exert force, and it only took 200 meters to run into the first, and the more powerful it was.
Wilson, who was not very excited to see it, began to shout.
When the 2,400 meters were finished and the sprint stage, the whole audience was shouting the name of Chitu, because Chitu's advantage was too great now, and there were more than 500 meters left to exceed the second place by seven or eight horses, and this absolute advantage had not appeared in the Shengliege Stakes for many years.
On the other hand, the Chitu felt that it was only now starting to warm up, and it was running faster and faster, and when he reached the finish of the finish of the race, he pulled down the second place and eighteen lengths, breaking the race record in 2:59.43.
"God, God", as soon as he saw the record-breaking logo on the big screen, Wilson covered his forehead with his hands and looked incredulous, while Abigail directly hugged William Mengxiang.
