Chapter 459: The Bottom Line of $3.5 Billion

"William", Grosvenor looked at William for a long time, and his eyes were slightly worried and concerned.

"I'm sorry, I'm getting caught up in things," he was about to say yes, agreeing to Grosvenor's plan to set up a huge pit and hand over the building to him and the Four Seasons Hotel to take care of, so that the building would have nothing to do with William after it was bombed,

But seeing Grosvenor's worried eyes, and then thinking about the old guy who had just given him four thousand acres of land,

William's rare soft-heartedness, forget it, don't fool him, thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, this is too sudden, I have to ask someone to do some investigation and evaluation, if it's really good, I'll consider it seriously."

"Of course, this matter must be investigated and evaluated, today I will talk to you about this matter, and tell me when there is a result, there is no urgency for the time being, this project is still in the initial stage, we have time to do research"

Seeing that William did not directly refuse, Grosvenor breathed a sigh of relief, he believed that as long as William investigated, he would definitely be able to understand how much profit was in it with his eyes.

At the same time, he secretly sighed that William's fortune was really nothing to say, he had just bought the square in his hand, and now someone was rushing to give him money.

I regret that I was blinded by the visible profits, the square sold too fast, and at the same time I appreciated William's decisive and undelayed style of doing things.

After the matter was discussed, Grosvenor, who was unhappy that he had lost a lot of money in vain, suddenly had no heart to talk any further, and William also had no heart to talk again, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist tempting Grosvenor, so after a few sips of tea, he got up and said goodbye.

When he got home, William went upstairs to take a nap, slept until 5 p.m., and reported to him on Sunday after waking up,

"SIR, Jack Chen and his gang have found clues to the Indestructible, but if you want to verify whether his thinking is correct, you need to go to sea for a field trip."

"Since you have a clue, you can't find it?" asked William curiously.

"SORRY, SIR, I'M NOT OMNIPOTENT, AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT WHAT ISN'T SHOWN ON THE MAP".

Hell, this isn't the first time this has happened on Sunday, and William can only helplessly, "Okay, help them get their equipment and boats ready, and let me know if there's news."

"UNDERSTOOD, SIR, I'LL REPORT BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS I HAVE ANY NEWS."

.........

A few days later, William was receiving him at his home, and Pierre, the managing director of the Banque de France and his negotiation team, who had come under great pressure from public opinion, discussed the sale and purchase of the Château de Chantilly.

One of the two sides wants to buy and the other wants to sell, so the atmosphere of the first contact is still good, and after a morning, the negotiators, accountants and analysts composed of Yueshida firm have no opinion on the price of 7,800 hectares of land for 1 billion US dollars.

This price is less than 6% higher than the current normal price, so after a morning of arguing, after the negotiation team of Yueshida asked William for instructions, he directly agreed.

After lunch, the two sides took a break to continue talking.

After another afternoon, the problem was stuck in the valuation of the castle and the cultural relics in the castle, and the difference between the two sides was very large, and when the discussion could not continue, they had to adjourn the meeting and discuss countermeasures in another small reception room.

William, who was being slaughtered as a pig by the Bank of France, suddenly heard Sunday's report,

"SIR, THE BLACK GHOST HAS SENT BACK A MESSAGE THAT THE ISLAND WHERE THE IMMORTAL HAS RUN AGROUND HAS BEEN FOUND, BUT HE HAS ALSO REPORTED THAT JACK CHAN AND THEY MAY HAVE BEEN TARGETED BY A GANG OF PIRATES."

"Someone will kill them all if they make up their minds, and you still need to report this kind of thing to me?"

"Understood, SIR".

Anthony consulted with Yueshida's think tank, and after reaching an agreement, he walked over to William, who was standing by the windowsill, and reported,

"BOSS, the experts we found estimated all the antiques in the Château de Chantilly at $1.7 billion, and the castle itself was worth about $300 million, plus a total of $3 billion in land.

Although it may not be accurate because of the tight time, it is certainly more reliable than the $5.5 billion quoted by the Bank of France in the first time.

The suggestion of the think tank is to cool the people of the Banque de France first, and they will talk to you under huge pressure from public opinion, which shows that the other party wants to sell very strongly.

If you don't have to negotiate today or in the near future, we can wait and suppress the momentum of the other party and find the flaws in the other party."

"Well", of course William understood this truth, and thought for a moment and said, "My bottom line is 3.5 billion US dollars, and if it exceeds this price, I won't talk about it.

If you can't talk about it, you can change the acquisition target, as long as the castle and the land, the antiquities and antiques can give the Banque de France a proper amount of money for transshipment and storage.

Anyway, I'm not interested in the paintings in the castle full of portraits, and I'm not my ancestor, so even if I bought them, I wouldn't be hanging them out."

"Okay, BOSS, then let's do this today", Anthony looked at his watch, and just wanted to say goodbye when he heard William say quietly, "I'm not in a good mood right now"

After saying that, William pointed to the picture that appeared on the TV, Anthony turned his head to look, and saw that a large group of people were holding banners and cards on the news, protesting loudly outside the manor.

Many hot-tempered people are scolding William for being a devil, a vampire, and all of France will not support William's purchase of Château de Chantis.

"Find out the relationship and contact the director of the Bank of France who broke the news to the media a few days ago, and see if you can find out from him how much money the Bank of France lost in this stock market crash.

Because of his boring sense of justice, my house was surrounded by protesters

Hehe, remember to secretly take pictures of the contact scene, and once the words are out, the news will be quietly leaked."

"Clear, understood, BOSS", Anthony said with some horror, very helpless in his heart for William's heavy vindictiveness, "There may be some costs involved, you see?"

"I just want the result, and the rest is out of my mind," William turned to look at Anthony, "of course, the cost is reasonable."

"Okay, BOSS, I'll look for a relationship with France when I go back, this director named Luther is very famous these days, it shouldn't be too difficult."

After adjourning the meeting for more than 20 minutes, the negotiations began again, knowing William's bottom line, this time the negotiators of Yueshida did not bother to speak, and directly quoted a separate offer of $1.3 billion for land and castles and $1.7 billion for cultural relics and antiques.

The people of the Banque de France certainly disagreed with this price, and hated the separate offer.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the value of the land and the castle was actually very easy to estimate, and if it was really a separate offer, how would they slaughter William.

The two sides began to argue fiercely again, and after listening to the argument for a few minutes, it was all about antiques, which made William not interested in listening any further, and said a few words to Anthony beside him,

Just stood up and walked out of the conference room, anyway, the bottom line of the negotiation has already told the people of Yueshida that it doesn't matter if others are at the negotiation table now.
