Chapter 309 A few words are worth $6 million
"Mr. Devon Hill, I'm Robert Griff, General Manager of Sales at Riva".
Listening to some pinched English, William frowned and looked at the bald, handsome, and nervous Italian middle-aged man in front of him.
"I don't like to be verbose and tell me what the real price of this yacht is."
Griff, who was already a little nervous, was even more nervous now that he was stared at by William, and this time if the yacht could not be sold, and the bank arrears that were about to expire were not paid, he, the sales manager, would definitely have to get out.
But no matter how nervous and worried, Griff's more than 20 years of work experience is not in vain, and after thinking for a few seconds, Griff forced himself to calm down and said:
"Mr. Devon Hill, this yacht is arguably the largest and most technologically advanced of all the yachts that have been built at any other time, not privately financed.
Our company spent a full $16.4 million on building it alone, and the cost price has reached $18 million when other expenses such as design fees are included.
If it hadn't been born at the wrong time, and it had encountered a global stock market crash before it left the factory, it would have had brilliant results."
"But it's only the first experimental boat," William interrupted Griff's assumptions, "and the experimental boat means high cost, high risk, and uncertainty about the outcome.
I am a buyer, and I am not obligated to pay for your company's bold attempt, 15 million US dollars, suitable for me to sign the contract now,
Otherwise, I would have placed an order with the princess yacht in England, which is only 49 meters, which is too small, and it is suitable for my girlfriend.
And the technology you mentioned is nothing in my opinion, and the use of glass and the three-stage drop stern on this ship is not bad, and the others do not meet my expectations at all.
No defense system, no emergency escape submarine, no intelligent housekeeper, no anti-candid photography system, no global navigation system, no hidden sea fishing platform,
There is no three-dimensional 360-degree cinema sound system, look at this cinema system, it was copied from the cinema,
The LCD screen in the living room on the first floor is not only thicker than the palm of my hand, but healy it's not inlaid in.
The most unbearable thing is that there are so many rooms, it is better to build a larger bathroom with this space, and there are problems with the design of the furniture, this is a yacht and not a villa, I don't know if the simple style?
The driving system in the control room turned out to be not, ",
William, who was speaking rightly, looked up at Griff with an excited face, and the bastard, as expected, took out a pen and a small notebook to remember what William had just said.
"Do you still want to hear it?"
"Of course, Mr. Devon Hill," Griff nodded hurriedly, "if you can."
William knew that Griff would dare to be interested, knowing that the things he said were slowly summed up by the yacht company for a long time according to the needs of customers in the future.
"What I just said is worth $6 million, and the rest of the yacht is $12 million and sold to me, or as long as you dare to apply what I said to your new boat, I swear that I will fight a lawsuit with your company for more than ten years.
Even if I can't win, I will definitely drag the lawsuit until your company is exhausted from top to bottom.
No matter how good your company is in Italy, my team of lawyers will tell you how uncomfortable it is to offend a billionaire."
"I'm sorry, sir, I'll have to ask the company for this", Griff knew how troublesome it would be if a rich guy like William had a formal delay lawsuit with their company.
Even if there is no way to take them in Italy, but the lawsuit will not sell their company's products safely in England and the United States.
After all, there is still a witness for Martin, the manager of the New York Yacht Club.
Considering that William's fortune had been able to buy their company ten times, Griff knew that Martin would never dare to lie about it.
No, Griff suddenly became shocked and stammered, "De, De, Devon Hill, sir, you just said that your wealth is already tens of billions of dollars?"
"God", Griff reminded him, and Martin exclaimed, "It's been less than a year, it's been less than a year."
Martin looked at William, then at Griff, who was equally loveless, and scolded madly in his heart why William made more money in a day than they made in a lifetime.
Especially when I saw the beautiful bubbling Ambrosio hanging proudly and obediently on William, this feeling of powerlessness was even stronger.
"Idiot", William skimmed the two decadent men who were fussing about,
"15 minutes", William said to Griff: "You only have 15 minutes to ask your company for instructions, after that, I will place an order with the Princess Yacht Company of England,
And I just said that I will have people register all the patents that can be registered, and if they can't, I will consider whether to tell the other major yacht companies for free, no one can take advantage of me, am I right?
Martin, who was stared at by William, hurriedly tightened his mind, nodded and said, "Of course, Mr. Devon Hill, no one can offend a billionaire who can get out of the way, I still have a wife and two children to raise."
"Very good, Martin, you are a smart man, I like you",
Signed a check for $1 million and a note with the phone number of his personal lawyer, Anthony, and handed it to Martin.
"Help me get a membership card for your yacht club for my girlfriend, Mademoiselle Ambrosio, she may spend more time on this yacht in the future, at the same time".
William pointed to Griff, who was on the phone on the docks, "At the same time, help me give this number to Mr. Griff, tell him that this is my personal lawyer's number, and I want to talk to him about something, I don't want to see that Italian Sicilian again."
Martin took the check, looked at the check and nodded, "No problem, sir."
Then he turned to Ambrosio and complimented, "Congratulations, Miss Ambrosio, Mr. Devon Hill is the most generous gentleman I have ever met."
"Thank you", Ambrosio smiled and William, "I love you to death, dear".
Martin coughed with a very good eye and said, "Devon Hill, I wish you a nice time with Miss Ambrosio."
William, who was busy, could only wave his hand, and Martin bowed and walked off the boat, standing on the dock waiting for Griff, who was calling.
Ten minutes later, he stopped the excited Griff and handed him the note in his hand,
In Griff's puzzled eyes, he said, "This is the phone number of Mr. Devon Hill's personal lawyer, you can just find this Anthony lawyer for the purchase of a yacht."
"That's it?" Griff took the note in his hand and asked Martin in surprise, "That's it for the $12 million contract? Give me a phone number and the $12 million business will be done?"
Martin gave Griff a blank look and said speechlessly, "Griff, as a friend, there is something I don't know if I should tell you or not."
Griff was silent for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "Hey, Martin, we've known each other for five or six years."
"Six years, I've known you since I was promoted to manager," Martin nodded.
Griff pulled Martin a few steps away and whispered, "I probably know what you're trying to say, and I know I'm acting like an idiot today,
But for some reason, I was scared when I saw William Devon Hill, and I was trembling with fear."
