Chapter 313: Luck and Misfortune and Earn More Than a Billion
William, who sailed out to sea and was waiting for Sunday to check whether all the transaction records of this short sale were compliant, heard his mobile phone ring suddenly.
Picking up an unfamiliar number in New York, William answered the phone in confusion, "Hey."
"Hello, Mr. Devon Hill, I'm Martin Downer, I'm sorry to disturb you so late, I have an urgent matter to report to you",
What Martin wanted to say William already knew, so instead of asking what it was, William asked, "Tell me how you know my mobile phone number first, I don't remember when I gave you a business card."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Devon Hill, I know your phone number because I was standing behind Mr. Hunt when you told Chef Hunt that I accidentally saw the number on the phone screen.
Sir, I assure it was an accident, probably because I was very concerned about your business, so I don't know why I remember it very clearly after looking at it."
It's easy to find out, and I said, "Wait."
With a snap of his fingers, more than ten seconds later, Sunday's reply came from the invisible headphones, "SIR, according to the video from the yacht, Martin Donald didn't lie".
"Very good, it seems that you are not lying, go ahead".
"Okay, sir", Martin Donner, who was a little anxious and waiting, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this,
began to narrate everything that happened after he got off the yacht, not only the content of his conversation with Griff word for word, but also Griff's expression was clearly described.
After explaining the whole story, Martin quietly waited for William's reply,
"Very good, it seems that my kindness has not been in vain", William smiled, and said in Martin's frightened expression: "Tomorrow the tax people in the United States will find you for tax evasion."
"God," Martin exclaimed.
"Don't worry, the final result is that you will be fined $120,000, no more than a penny, exactly $120,000, this is a punishment for you, and it is also for the sake of you having two lovely children, a small punishment,
You won't be reluctant to pay $120,000, Martin."
"I, I, I".
Martin stammered and couldn't speak, knowing very well that his words with Griff had actually been known to William a long time ago.
There was no expectation in his mind when he first called, only fear and happiness, yes, he was extremely happy at the same time as fear.
Glad that William liked the people who took care of his family, and even more glad that he was not dazzled by the 10 million dollars, Griff confessed to William as soon as he left,
"Ming, Ming, understand, sir, I will honestly pay the fine."
"Very well, it seems that you are indeed a smart person, do it well, as long as Ambrosio is satisfied, maybe you will become her special assistant,
Then your $600,000 loan may be paid off in less than a year, and as for why Ambrosio invited you to be her assistant, I think you should understand."
"Yes, sir, I understand that this is to prevent Mademoiselle Ambrosio from misunderstanding that I am the eyeliner you have arranged for her, and at the same time to test my ability to work".
"Well, that's it, looking forward to your performance, Mr. Martin Donner".
"Thank you, sir, thank you for your kindness".
"Haha, you should thank yourself, thank yourself for being a good father, otherwise you and Griff's endings wouldn't be so different."
Yes, and Griff, Martin just wanted to open his mouth to intercede for Griff,
But after thinking about it, you can understand that his plea is useless at all, maybe after persuasion, not only will he catch himself, but at the same time, Griff's ending will be even more ugly,
In the end, I could only sigh silently, "Thank you, sir, good night, sir".
Hanging up the phone, William began to look forward to the future performance of this guy who only graduated from high school and climbed all the way from the bottom to the manager of the New York Yacht Club.
A few days later, Martin, who was not concerned about his tax investigation, learned from an Italian friend that Griff had returned to Italy and found evidence of an affair with his young and beautiful wife at home.
After the husband and wife quarreled, before the divorce lawsuit started, his wife bit back.
Revealing his finances not only made Griff anxious, but he was soon invited into the police station for coffee.
In the end, Griff got his wish and divorced his female cousin, but the property was not divided to half of it, and it all belonged to his wife.
Not only that, but he was also sued by Faraday and Riva for receiving kickbacks, and he could be sentenced to five years in prison.
This made Martin Donald, who was far away in New York, even more afraid of William, and at the same time congratulated himself again on his good luck and met William's rare kindness.
.............
After dealing with the two small roles, William sat in the driver's seat and listened to Sunday's report on the profit of shorting Debys, when he learned that the reason why the profit was only more than three times was that he had invested too much money.
William cursed in a low voice, many ghosts, only 500 million US dollars were invested, and 10 times the leverage was 5 billion US dollars, and as soon as he made his efforts, Debis surrendered as if he was about to go bankrupt.
But Sunday's summary reminded William that 70 percent of the diamonds mined by Debeth were stored in the underground vault of his headquarters in London.
The value of the group is at least 6 layers on these diamonds that they dare not sell at all, and the real wealth is actually more than 10 billion US dollars
In addition, the diamond itself is not an item that can be sold in large quantities, and once it is sold at a reduced price, it may make Debys die faster, and in this case, Debys cannot collect funds on a large scale to resist.
Second, after William started to act, there were too many short sellers behind him, and they attacked in droves.
The most important thing is that the evidence of this revelation is too clear, and the whole industrial chain of blood diamonds has been picked up clearly, and even his own boss has been photographed buying blood diamonds in person.
In the face of these evidences, Debys himself was not confident in winning the battle, and the institutions and individual investors in the market saw that Debys had relented and immediately made adjustments.
Most of the institutions that bet against William, financial companies would rather blow up their positions than add futures margins, and cut their meat and quit not playing with William.
Betting on a single listed company's stock index requires real money from people or institutions to take over futures contracts, and no one plays with him, and the expected returns certainly do not meet his expectations.
Losing the seven or eight billion dollars invested in the early stage, in the face of overwhelming accusations from the media and the public, and the predictable low tide of diamond sales, the people of Debes were very bold to hold more than a billion dollars in cash in their hands as ammunition for the last counterattack.
Then a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water to ask for help from the English government, and at the same time threatened the English government with taxes, layoffs, and the influence of the diamond industry as bargaining chips.
And this situation is the last thing William wants to see,
After all, Debias is not one of those technology companies that speculate on concepts, and it is impossible to really fall worthless.
They have diamonds in their underground vaults that are now worth less than $10 billion and will rise back to about $15 billion in a few years, as well as several large diamond mines in Africa to support them.
In order to avoid the interference of the government and the foreseeable counterattack of Debith, Felix followed the emergency treatment set by William at the beginning, and began to clear the warehouse as soon as he saw it.
