Chapter 396: The icing on the cake is as good as a piece of charcoal in the snow
"Gentlemen, welcome to Devonhill Manor", William stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, leading the three of them into the living room of the manor, "I'm sorry, this manor is the place I just took over yesterday, and it's rude to ask Haihan."
"It's okay, William, we're not here for this today", Archduke Devon waved his hand to let his men out, and William also waved his hand to let the servants out, and poured a cup of tea for the three of them with his own hands.
Archduke Devon took the tea, "Thank you," he said, taking a sip, "I'm sorry, William, I brought Marco and Charles with me without informing you."
"It's okay", William smiled with a teacup, but he was a little impatient in his heart, he hated the bridge of recognizing relatives the most, but everyone came, no matter how much he didn't like it, he had to get by on face.
"Okay", Archduke Devon looked at William's expression and knew that he didn't like it, shook his head and smiled, "I'll just say that Marko's Kans Group has always been involved in the automotive industry, not only is it the largest spare parts manufacturer in Europe, but also has an F1 team in hand, and he came this time to buy your Aston Martin company."
"I'm sorry, I'm also interested in the automotive industry, so, I'm sorry", William interrupted Archduke Devon, wanting to buy the company from him, how could it be.
There are only a few independent sports car companies in the world that can get their hands on it, and God knows when they give up and want to enter the industry again.
"Don't you listen to my conditions?" Marco clasped his hands on crutches, "William, the automobile industry is not as simple as you think, and many things cannot be solved with money."
"NO, NO, except for some emotional things, anything else can be solved with money, and if it can't be solved, it's not enough money,
If 100 million doesn't work, 200 million, 200 million, then 1 billion, and if 1 billion doesn't work, then 2 billion." William shrugged, "Two billion dollars is just a month's worth of income for me."
"FK", Charles, who had been smiling and not speaking, cursed in a low voice, and the Archduke Devon and Marco turned their heads to look at Charles, but they magically didn't blame him,
The two of them were choked by William's words and didn't know what to say, thinking about the outside world's estimation of William's worth, and had to admit that William's ability to make money is so strong, as long as he wants to, there is indeed no industry that money can't get into.
"Well, just when I didn't ask," Marco shook his head with regret on his face and took out an invitation from his suit, "This is my wedding invitation, I hope you have time to go to Morocco for my wedding".
"Wedding?" William looked at Marco, whose hair was all white, then at the Archduke Devon with a helpless expression on his face, and at Charles, whose eyes were bulging in shock, "This, this."
"Haha, it's okay, William", Marco got up and sent the invitation to William, and when William hurriedly stood up and took it, he smiled and said, "It is everyone's right to pursue love, even if I am 74 years old, no one can stop me".
"Alright, William, then I'll take my leave, if you have any thoughts of selling Aston Martin, you hope to think of me, goodbye, boy".
Marco shook hands with William, but only nodded to the Archduke Devon, and walked out of the hall on crutches.
Sending a car to see Marco away, William heard Charles's voice full of resentment coming from him, "Why, why did he marry Susie, God, Uncle Robert, why didn't you tell me earlier".
"Would it be useful to tell you earlier, what could it change?" said Archduke Devon in a tone that hated iron and steel, "Isn't it just a woman, I also want to ask you, why did you have an island girlfriend, don't forget that for more than 60 years, my youngest brother, your youngest uncle, died in South Asia."
After listening to the meeting, William lost interest, he didn't have the slightest idea of participating in these wealthy grievances, he just wanted to send away the uncle and nephew of the German Grand Duke as soon as possible, knocked on the door, pushed the door and walked into the living room, put the mobile phone on the coffee table, sat down and snapped his fingers, and said to Sunday,
"On Sunday, the speculation about the antiques of the Italian company Rafali and the Riva yacht company was revealed".
"Understood, SIR".
Soon, the mobile phone shot out a 3D three-dimensional light, and when the explanation was finished on Sunday, William ignored the German Archduke and Charles Cavendish who were staring at the mobile phone on the coffee table, "Your Excellency, I have no problem quoting 200 million US dollars for this information."
Archduke Devon reluctantly watched William put away the mobile phone on the coffee table, closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "No problem, what we promised is to give you a 7% discount on 1 billion US dollars of antiques, this time 200 million plus the previous 500 million, a total of 700 million, we have cleared both."
Even if there is a problem, but seeing the mobile phone in William's hand, it will be fine, and the Grand Duke sighed, "I always thought you were a genius, but I didn't expect you to be a genius to this extent, is it possible for me to join?"
Joining, then you have to think carefully, unless you exchange it for something that can make William's heart move, but thinking about the wealth structure of the Archduke Devon, except for land and antiques, it seems that there is nothing worth thinking about William.
As long as there is money for antiques, there is now more land in Europe? William will soon be able to acquire at least 30,000 acres of land near Devonhill Castle.
With these 30,000 acres of land, William has little interest in other places, he does not make money from land, and it will be very troublesome to manage the scattered land.
But now that it's out, I want to leave some thoughts for the old fox, waiting for him to put forward his own conditions, if there is really something that can make William's heart move, it is not impossible to let the German Grand Duke join.
So William smiled and said, "I have what you want, but if you want to eat delicious food, we can exchange it for the same price in addition to paying."
The Grand Duke of Devon nodded in understanding, "Very good, William, I will think about it carefully, you wait for my news, as for Charles", the Grand Duke looked at the somewhat decadent Charles and shook his head and sighed,
"Hey, Charles has a Ph.D. in archaeology from Oxford University, and I originally wanted to introduce him to you to help identify antiques, but now it seems that it's better to forget it, let's talk about it when he recovers."
"No, wait," William immediately said when he heard that Charles was a double degree doctor of archaeology from Oxford University, "maybe it would be better for Charles to find something to do."
"Haha, you are really," Archduke Devon shook his head and looked at William with disdain, "It's not a capitalist, William, you have done a very good job in squeezing labor."
"Okay, I'll go first", Archduke Devon glanced at Charles and then looked at his watch, "It's just time to rush home for lunch, and when I think about it clearly, I'll call you, finally", Archduke stared at William, "In the end, whether you admit it or not, we are all family, take care of Charles, goodbye, my child".
Personally sent the Grand Duke to the helicopter, watching the helicopter fly away, William scoffed at the last words of the Grand Duke of Devon, the icing on the cake, no matter how many flowers were added, they could not compare to the pile of charcoal sent in the snow.
