Chapter 470: Some people just don't know what's going on
It was a joke to catch William in the vault and lock him up, but it was true to think that he could take real dollars out of his pocket.
As soon as Kellner-Beckon arrived, the people who had dealt with the Banque de France went directly to William after being reminded by his subordinates.
"Hello, Monsieur Devon Hill, I'm Kellner Bakken, I'm glad you to come to France to invest, if there is anything that can't be solved, you are welcome to call me or come to me directly".
"Thank you", William looked at Kellner-Bakken in some surprise, is this guy doing this to himself or has he always been so direct?
Quickly shook Kellner-Beckon's hand and smiled, "Of course I won't let go of a suitable investment opportunity, but some people don't seem to welcome me."
"It's okay, some misunderstandings can be solved with the passage of time", Kellner affirmed, "I personally welcome any legitimate investment, and at the same time assure you that your legitimate interests will be protected during my tenure".
"Haha, then thank you, Your Excellency".
William listened to this kind of scene, and if he really believed it, he was a fool, and there were not many projects in France that were worth investing in.
He is interested in a few luxury goods companies and power companies.
It's not a good time to get a start on luxury goods companies, and you won't have a chance to do so until the end of the year, when their earnings are released and their stock prices fall sharply.
However, he is not confident in wanting to buy William in full, especially Chanel, although the equity is very dispersed, but the capital has been confident in it for decades, except in the event of shareholder bankruptcy or imminent bankruptcy It is possible to acquire a part of the shares.
Seeing that William was not interested in talking, Kellner also knew in his heart that now was not a good time to talk in detail, and after thinking for a few seconds, he whispered to William, "Maybe we can talk in London in a few days."
Then the voice became louder and laughed, "I won't bother you to sign the contract, although I don't have much time, but I still hope to drink the celebration wine before leaving."
"No problem, let's hold a signing ceremony," several major shareholders of the Banque de France quickly chimed in.
These guys really think they are the bosses, and they don't even discuss with themselves if they want to save the link before signing the contract, and William, who has seen them unhappy for a long time, grinned, "You are free."
After saying that, he stood upright, looking at Kellner motionlessly, stunned by the unknown Kellner, and couldn't help but be annoyed.
And Frank Deley, the chairman of the Banque de France on the side, saw that William did not spare any face for him at all, and he did not leave for a while, nor did he leave, and his face quickly turned red.
The atmosphere at the scene slowly became awkward, and some unknown people whispered to the people who saw what was happening.
Looking at Frank Deley and the other bank shareholders whose faces were becoming more and more ugly, William laughed with a grin, "Please, Mr. Deley, leave me alone."
Frank Deley was so provoked by these words that he almost burst into foul language, and finally came to his senses, and the Bank of France had to get the $3.5 billion in William's hands.
In addition, he knew that William was deliberately embarrassing him to take revenge on him, so he held back his anger and kept silent, turned his head to the side and pretended not to hear.
Signing is definitely going to be signed, even if it is deliberately ignored, William will not get along with money, but the posture that should be there is no less, and you have to give him a slap in the face to deal with some stupid hats who can't see the situation clearly.
Just as he was about to say a few more taunts, Kellner stared at Frank Deley and several other shareholders of the Banque de France for a few seconds after hearing his men whisper to him.
Then he smiled and said to William, "I'm sorry, it seems that I was too anxious."
"Today is the 20th anniversary of my wife's acquaintance, Mr. Devon Hill, if you may, please don't let me, who has never had much time with her, break my trust today."
Of course, William could hear such a clear nonsense, and 90% of the people on the scene also understood that this was a last resort, but in his heart he admired Kellner's fast brain and his ability to speak without leaving a handle.
I didn't look for reasons that could be found out casually such as marriages and birthdays, but instead said that the anniversary of their acquaintance with his wife was a reason for them to make up whatever they wanted.
"In that case, of course there is no problem," someone gave William, who was still a person of Kellner's status, and said with a smile, "The twentieth anniversary should indeed be celebrated, congratulations, Kellner."
"Thanks," Kellner replied with a smile on his face, "so how do we get started?"
"Of course, I don't want to be blamed by your wife."
Seeing William's relief, many people at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time looked at the shareholders of the Banque de France with disdain.
Since it was decided to sell the Château de Chantilly despite the opposition of the people, it would be too deliberate and irrational to deliberately ignore William, the half of the owner, in a show.
As soon as the news got out after today, the people not only would not understand what they were doing, but would laugh at these people for being brainless, and push William, who might be a help, to the enemy with his own hands.
William smiled and signed the contract with Frank Deley, who looked a little uneasy, and then ignored the etiquette and didn't shake Frank Deley's hand, walked down the signing table and handed the contract to Anthony Dao,
"You bring the contract back to study, and at the same time gather people to find a way, I want to strip the Château Chantilly and the 7,800 hectares of land, and the Château Chantilly will only be a castle in the future, understand?"
Anthony paused for a moment, and silently complained in his heart about William's impatience in the face that he didn't stay overnight, so quickly made it clear to the outside world that he and the Banque de France were not in the same group.
However, Anthony didn't dare to say these words when William was angry, and immediately replied, "No problem, boss".
Ignoring the reception after the signing, William and Kellner, the head of the English Foreign Embassy, Ronnie, said hello and took Abigail back to Oxford Castle by helicopter.
Back at the castle, Abigail, who hesitated to say anything all the way, carefully reminded, "Boss, you,"
"Okay, I know what you're trying to say, but I haven't thought about developing Château Chantilly and those lands in the short term, no matter how unhappy these French people are, time will wear away their anger, and in a few years, who will care about Château Chantilly, which no longer belongs to them."
William didn't bother with these things at this time, and when he was first on the helicopter, he kept thinking that Kellner had told him that he would come to London to talk to him in a few days.
The only reason Kellner could come to London at this time was England's first James' funeral, "if you don't know anything, ask the servants of the castle on Sunday or for me."
After saying that, Abigail came to the basement regardless of his not very good face.
"On Sunday, check the first thing to do with James."
"Okay, SIR".
