After negotiating with Pierre, the general manager of the Banque de France, Antony, who had already prepared that day, went to Paris with a team of more than 20 people to negotiate the contract with the people of the Banque de France.

After two days to confirm that the contract was fine, William flew to Paris by helicopter and landed on the rooftop of the Banque de France building.

As soon as he got off the plane, he saw not only Antoine and his colleague men waiting for him, the Banque de France headed by Pierre, but also a helicopter flying in circles around the bank building, with the logo of the television station on its fuselage.

"Boss, now you may be the least popular Englishman in all of France", joked Anthony, who stood next to William.

"Is the contract confirmed?" Ignoring Anthony's jokes, William asked with a smile,

Hearing William say the right thing, Anthony hurriedly said seriously, "Of course there is no problem, we have not only reviewed it ourselves, but also found a French peer to review it, and I guarantee that there will be no problems with this contract in France."

"And what if the French government wants to overturn the contract?"

"Don't worry, BOSS, we live in the world of capital, if the French government wants to veto this contract, then the French bank will have to accompany us at least 50% of the liquidated damages, that is, 1.75 billion US dollars, if you can't afford it, you have to use 5% of the shares to deduct" Anthony squinted and smiled.

"Coupled with your promise not to sell any of the artifacts from the Château de Chantilly out of France, the current President reluctantly agreed, otherwise he would not have had so much money to bail out the Banque de France."

"Haha, it looks like I'm going to have to find a good chance to thank this Mr. President."

Although the unhappiness cost 300 million US dollars more than the bottom line of the price in his heart, when he thought that the land price would increase exponentially in the future, the unhappiness in his heart quickly disappeared.

smiled and waved his hand at the interview helicopter that was facing him, and then shook hands with Pierre, who had been waiting on the side and was deliberately ignored by himself, squinting, with a sharp view in his eyes.

"It seems that not only ordinary people do not welcome me, but even the shareholders of your bank do not welcome me, and none of them have come to pick me up.

Do they think that with these $3.5 billion, they don't need to pay attention to me, the benefactor who reached out to you in times of crisis, or do they think that selling me Château Chantilly for $3.5 billion is a huge advantage for me?"

"I'm sorry, Monsieur Devon Hill, though it's a bit rude, but it seems to me, and even to all the French, that you have taken advantage, and the obvious fact is that if it weren't for the big problems in our bank itself, not to mention the $3.5 billion, it would still be a question of whether we would have talked to you.

And the shareholders did not come to pick you up, not because they were disrespectful to you, but because Mr. Barrel would personally come to the venue to witness the signing ceremony."

After saying this, Pierre grinned and looked at William with a smile.

"Well, it seems that I am not as important as Mr. Barrel", William laughed and led the way off the rooftop.

It wasn't deliberately humiliated, William didn't care, and as for his unpopularity, it was expected.

People don't have to beg you now, why are they still flattering you.

"It's a pity that after this cooperation, the other things we discussed may be in vain," Pierre sighed, "I didn't expect that the shareholders who agreed with you 80% before would change their minds so quickly.

However, our cooperation has paid off, and after today, the Château de Chantilly, the jewel of France, will be yours to own."

"Haha, thank you,", William is still very happy to be able to buy Château Chantilly, not to mention antique relics and castles, the 7,800 hectares of land alone will be worth tens of billions of dollars in more than ten years.

It's normal for antiques and artifacts to appreciate four or five times in value, which is another six or seven billion dollars.

And money is secondary, the point is that William really likes the climate and environment around Château Chantilly.

Step into the elevator and go down to the large conference room on the 22nd floor of the Bank Building.

As soon as he pushed the door in, he saw Abigail standing in front of a group of people in women's overalls and suits to greet him.

Hugging Abigail, William pretended to complain, "Why don't you pick me up on the rooftop."

Abigail gave William a blank look, "God, be serious, boss, this is working time, I don't want to be talked about behind my back that I got my current position by selling my hue."

"But the truth is that you did tempt me."

"Hell, let go of me", saying these words to William, the two hugged for a little longer, and Abigail, who didn't want to be gossiped about, struggled.

"Well, I'm teaching you a lesson in the evening", let go of Abigail, William walked over to the head of England's foreign embassy in France, and thanked him and several other high-ranking people for attending the signing ceremony.

And William, as the new richest man in England, the people at the Foreign Affairs Embassy are of course willing to have a good relationship with him, maybe everyone will cross paths at any time.

After introducing each other, everyone began to chat with wine glasses, and after a few minutes, the scene began to be a little noisy, and soon, the people from the Foreign Affairs Hall whispered to William and their head Ronnie, "Mr. Barrel has arrived."

"Let's go, Mr. Devon Hill, and we're going to pick up the unluckiest of the barrels since he took office, Mr. Kellner-Baken," Ronnie joked.

"OK," William nodded, followed Ronnie to the elevator and waited, then asked Ronnie in a low joke, "What is the temper and personality of Mr. Barrel, who has not had a good day."

"The temper is okay, but he has a strong smell of Gallic roosters, and he doesn't look down on any affairs outside France, and he has a serious habit of being late,

Except for business, anything else, if the appointment is about nine o'clock, then this is Mr. Barrel will definitely not arrive earlier than nine o'clock, half an hour late is simply commonplace, and many times even if he arrives early, he will stay outside and let you wait for him for ten minutes before seeing you. ”

"So special", William chuckled softly.

"It's so special," Ronnie laughed, "but these aren't big problems, they're easier to contact than those with special hobbies, and if he gets in touch with them, maybe you'll become friends."

"Thank you, forget about being friends, I don't believe in a real Gallic rooster, after seeing me, the devil who bought their national treasure, can still chat with me happily, it is very surprising that he can come to this signing ceremony."

Ronnie said with a strange face, "The purpose of his coming here is definitely not the signing ceremony, so many people oppose it, if it is not for other purposes, he would be an idiot to come." ”

"Maybe I'm looking for you to invest," Ronnie stared at William with a strange smile, "Anyone who can afford it knows that you still have at least tens of billions of dollars in cash in the bank.

So in the eyes of Kellner Beckon, who has been short of money, you are a mobile vault, and of course he has to find a way to get you to the French treasury and lock you up."
