Chapter 17: All England is famous
The reporters were in an uproar when they heard 200 million pounds, originally 100 million they thought was sky-high, but now they heard William say that buying the game can push up the stock price of hundreds of millions and billions, and they think about it silently and feel that it is very possible.
According to the current situation of the stock market, William's prediction may really come true, that is not to say that you can make a lot of money if you buy it, and tomorrow there will be headlines, and it will be written '200 million pounds is its real value'
William looked at the reporters and said quietly, he smiled secretly in his heart, it is really possible to increase the stock price by buying it now, as he said, but it will be difficult to say if it is past March this year.
"Okay, there's one more question, does anyone have anything else to ask?"
The reporter reminded William and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Devon Hill, do you really have anything to do with the Duke of Devonshire, do you have the right to inherit the nobility?"
William asked the reporter with a blank eye, this is a trap for me, none of these London reporters are good people
"We don't matter, if I want to talk about the relationship, I can only say that we are an ancestor, our Devon Hill was already a nobleman 1,000 years ago, more than 600 years earlier than the current Duke's family, and nothing else matters. I'm not born in a nobility either, my mother doesn't have the inheritance of a nobility, and now we're all ordinary people, are you satisfied with what I say?"
The reporter who was asked by William said unwillingly: "But, according to the information we found, the Earl of Oxford has no heir now, and you are now the only heir to the title, do you have any thoughts on this."
William didn't know how to answer, he said that he wanted to think about it too deliberately, and if he didn't want to, he must be lying so he had to pretend to be stupid and said: "No opinion, I've answered all three questions, that's it, please don't gather around this street anymore, thank you." ”
After saying that, William ignored the reporter's shouting and asked him to answer the reporter's question.
William didn't care about this, he came out to be interviewed by reporters just to use the media to put more pressure on those companies who wanted to buy game rights, and the other Williams didn't want to pay attention.
By February 12th, newspapers all over England were reporting on William, and today's newspapers are reporting in more detail, and some reporters went to William's former primary and secondary schools to find his teachers and classmates who had dug up everything he had before.
Serious newspapers such as The Times and the Financial Times have reported at length in an interview yesterday about the role of game rights on the stock prices of listed companies, and invited a number of economic and stock managers to come out and explain.
Not to mention that several experts on the scene basically agreed with William's views, believing that in the current investment environment, William's 90% chance will be realized.
Even the morning news of the TV station broadcast the clip of William's interview yesterday, and people watched this handsome, smart and rich young man on TV talk in front of reporters, but what he said was reasonable and convincing, which made William instantly a celebrity in England.
Many tabloids also focused on William's confession to a girl in middle school, even the girl was found by them, and did an interview, the girl has now become a big girl, expressing her hope to renew her relationship with William, she regretted not accepting William at that time, and hoped that William would give her another chance.
William was so shocked by these tabloids that he didn't even remember what the girl looked like now.
The bad thing about being famous in the whole society is that William and Lena can't leave home now, and a large number of reporters outside the house are waiting for him, trying to get some big news from him.
Even the two office workers who rented his house almost couldn't get out of this street this morning, and as soon as the two female white-collar workers went out, they were surrounded by a large group of reporters and asked a lot of questions, and finally the police stepped forward to help them get rid of this group of reporters.
Even the Duke of Devonshire, who usually doesn't show up much, was caught by reporters and asked a lot of questions about his relationship with the William family.
The old duke was still very close to the people, and he said with a smile that he was glad that the Devonhill family had such an outstanding offspring as William, and that he had met William's maternal grandfather, Henry Winster Devonhill, when he was younger, and the two had a good conversation.
Although William and they are no longer in contact, as a blood of the same ancestor, the old duke is very hopeful that William will have time to visit him, and he welcomes William and his mother to his home.
The reporter heard the old duke personally admit that William was really a descendant of the Devon Hill family, and all of them reported it like chicken blood.
After reading these reports, William sighed to his mother Lena, this ginger is still old and spicy, reading the newspaper reports on the family history of Devon, and the newspaper has made an advertisement for Devon to the whole of England for free, it is really a person who is older and more shrewd.
William has been stuck at home for 3 days, and many large companies have sent people to London to find William in the past 3 days, wanting to negotiate with William alone and privately, and even Dexmud has sent people to find him, and Hasbro also wants to talk to William about the joint release of Plants vs. Zombies toys.
William will not agree at this time, but will reply to every company that has come to him these days to negotiate at the Hilton Hotel on February 15.
To be honest, William thought about keeping the copyright of Plants vs. Zombies in his hands, but after thinking about it for 2 days, he decided to sell the copyright.
The copyright in his own hands is different from those in the hands of those big companies, first he has no sales channels, he finally has to license to other companies, if he wants to build his own channels, it is too difficult and time-consuming, and he might as well do some new projects with that time and energy.
Second, soon the NASDAQ will collapse, and in the next two years, IT-related companies will have a very difficult time, and the stock price will fall sharply, so it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to sell the game at a good price when the stock price of the IT industry is the highest
At that time, after the stock market jumped, buy the shares of those companies with bright prospects, and the stock prices of many companies will rise by tens or hundreds of times after more than ten years.
Third, he is really afraid that he will not be able to keep the game in his hands now, the capital has no benevolence and reason to tell you, and there will be a large number of people who will try their best to snatch the game copyright from William, this game is so famous now, and everyone has no objection to the game can increase the stock price.
Fourth, he will put the money from the sale of copyrights into the NASDAQ stock market short, even if he does not understand financial knowledge, but he has money, go to Switzerland to find a bank agent, and when signing the contract, the bank's traders must be completely short according to their own requirements, he just wants to be a short-term short, and he can earn at least 5 times more than a few months.
At that time, he will leave 40% of the money in England, and after going to Switzerland, he will use the money left in the Bank of England as collateral, plus the money of the offshore company will enter the stock market in Switzerland, and the money earned will stay in Switzerland, and the money will not go into his account in England, and he will not have to pay a dime to the English government.
Even if it is known by the English government, the government can't do anything about William, I won't enter England, what can you do with me.
At that time, if you want to acquire, you can use an offshore company to acquire or buy shares.
