Chapter 458: Could it be that the heart is soft again
Seeing Philip off in person, watching the six-car convoy drive out of the building of the Moonstar office, William shook his head and complained, "There are almost 20 drivers and bodyguards, can you use it?"
"What's the trouble with this, just as they don't exist, you will get used to it after a long time", Grosvenor, who was standing on the side, looked at William, who didn't bring a bodyguard, and hesitated for a few seconds and reminded vaguely, "There are still few people around Philip today, usually there are 6 people on the surface, and there are at least 20 people secretly."
There are usually 4 people around me on the surface, and there are almost 20 in secret", Grosvenor looked at William's car and shook his head, "It must be no problem to apply for a Rolls-Royce bulletproof version with your identity, William, you will be our God of Wealth in the future, if you are troublesome, I will give you a bulletproof version of the Rolls-Royce?"
"Thank you, it's just a phone call if you want," thanked Grosvenor, and William complained, "I don't need Rolls-Royce myself except because I don't want to give them free advertising after buying Aston Martin.
And because the current Rolls-Royce models are too ugly in my eyes, not to mention aesthetically pleasing, and completely immersed in the design concept of the 90s, maybe I should really find someone to make some ideas about the car in my head."
"You still design car shapes?" Grosvenor looked at William in surprise, "It's better to be young, and you have wild ideas." Flash Dance
"Let's go, take my car, let's talk about your design in the car, if you can impress me, maybe I'll find you to customize one."
"Haha" William smiled crookedly, "I'm sorry, if it is really designed, I don't want to sell it, I design a car that is unique in the world, it feels good to think about it."
Thinking about whether to get the Rolls-Royce Phantom out, or the Maybach 62, or build one of both models, anyway, he only needs to copy the shape of the two cars in his memory, and the rest gives the designer a headache.
Grosvenor shook his head, mistakenly thinking that William was too energetic and wanted to intervene in everything he was interested in, "If you like it, maybe you can really design a car that is different, let's go, lunch time is coming, don't make my wife wait too long, otherwise I will be unlucky if you leave."
"Haha", seeing what Grosvenor said, William laughed, if he hadn't known that this guy was a playboy like Andrew, he was almost deceived by his harmless appearance.
And William knew very well that Grosvenor must have other things to do with him to dinner, and if he hadn't thought of asking Grosvenor for his experience and ideas in land management, he wouldn't necessarily give Grosvenor face.
I got in the car and spent more than 20 minutes at Grosvenor's home in London, where I met Mrs. Grosvenor and little Grosvenor Jr., who had come back from school temporarily.
Little Grosvenor is only nine years old now, and he is still a handsome and shy little Zhengtai, and after knowing each other, he may have admired William very much, and after eating lunch and chatting a lot of words, Little Grosvenor has been following William after dinner, chatting about his trivial matters at school,
Out of politeness, although William didn't want to listen to the rambling things between these children, but looking at Mrs. Grosvenor with a relieved face, William didn't show impatience on his face.
Chatting and chatting, Little Grosvenor's completely unguarded and calculating words also made William feel a lot more relaxed, and in the end, I don't know if I saw that Little Grosvenor really liked to worship himself, William actually agreed to take him to hunt in the forest around Devonhill Castle, and by the way, he taught him some self-defense skills.
This made Grosvenor and his wife very happy, and they were very surprised and happy to be able to talk to William like this, and in their eyes, William's series of achievements were indeed worth learning from their children.
Before we knew it, it was half past one in the afternoon, and the maid came to inform Little Grosvenor that it was time to go back to school, and the couple let little Grosvenor go to school with some unfinished business.
When the child was gone, Mrs. Grosvenor was very interested in asking the servants to change into new tea and snacks, and then left herself.
There are only two of them, and they don't have to care so much about talking, William took the initiative to ask Grosvenor about managing the land, and Grosvenor, who had something in mind, answered them one by one with a completely knowledgeable and endless attitude.
After chatting for half an hour, William was very depressed to hear that the Grosvenor butler alone was a four-in-one and five people, and that the affairs of the company and the manor were basically taken care of by professionals.
The old aristocracy completely crushed him as an upstart at this moment, Grosvenor has a sentence William thinks about it and thinks that there is some truth in what he said, how can there be a person in this world who can be completely trusted, and if he does not give others the opportunity to contact and work, how can he find a suitable housekeeper and subordinate.
But there are too many secrets on his body, and exposing any of them will become a big trouble, "Forget it, let's talk about the topic, you won't come to me just to get to know your little prince."
"Of course not," Grosvenor thought for a moment, "I received an invitation from the Four Seasons Hotel the other day to build a five-star hotel apartment complex on the former Grosvenor Plaza, now Devonhill Plaza.
I have an 8-storey building on the other side of the plaza, and if you add the mall in the northeast corner, the two towers together will make a huge luxury hotel apartment on 4 acres."
"Working with a fourth-tier hotel?" the news made William flustered.
He's been thinking about what kind of reason to empty these tenants these days, because just since he knew that Amir Bakawi's guy was eyeing him, William had been thinking about how to get Amir Bakawi to target the buildings in the square.
After buying Grosvenor Place before, he had the idea of demolishing the four buildings around the square that were only five or six stories after learning a little about the specific situation.
But after consulting with lawyers, it was found that the money to pay the tenants to empty the four buildings would be more than £100 million, and there was a 70 probability that the tenants would not agree to take the money and leave.
Because they can make more money if they continue to operate, William will not pay them more, and since there is no way to properly eliminate these tenants, it is no problem to let Amir Bakawi, the empty cloth, blow them up.
William might even be able to make some money on the construction of a new building.
He had previously checked the insurance for the four buildings, and Grosvenor had paid $300 million in insurance premiums for the four buildings that were more than 100 years old.
As long as Bakawi blew up the building, he would not only help him clear out the tenants, but also help William get permission to build a new building, after all, the building would have to be rebuilt.
Normally, William wants to get permission to rebuild, but it is not so easy, because the square is located in the most central part of London, Mel, and many buildings are old buildings with historical value, and there is no possibility of demolishing them.
