Chapter 462

William used the wine opener to open the wine, poured half a bottle into the wine opener, took two glasses and the wine opener, went to the sofa beside Pierre and sat down.

He said with a smile, "you are an expert. How about tasting this wine.".

"No problem," Pierre said, picking up the receiver and looking at the light. "The color looks very good, but it's too short to turn it on. If you want to really taste the wine, you have to wait for a while.".

"It doesn't matter. We have time." William knew the wine had to wake up. During the waiting period, they chatted about the Chateau Chantilly.

more than ten minutes later, the time for sobering up was not yet up. Some of Pierre couldn't wait to swallow the temptation of good wine. He picked up the sober and poured some wine for himself. After a few sips, he said with an intoxicated expression on his face“ It deserves to be the best vintage. Every time you drink it, you can feel different. Thank you.

"Don't mention it. If you like, I'll give you a box when you leave," William said with a laugh.

"Thank you," El said regretfully. "Next time, I dare not accept your valuable gift before this transaction. If it is found out, we will be in trouble.".

On hearing this, William reflected that Pierre could not be given valuables during the transaction. "Well, next time at Chantilly castle, I'll treat you to drink Ratu of '82.".

"Ha ha, that's settled," William said, making Pierre very happy and relieved. "Mr. Devonshire, with your contacts, you may already know what happened to our bank,

so I'll just say some words," Pierre put down his glass and said solemnly, "we need your financial help to get through the Bank of France The most serious crisis of trust since its establishment.

"I can help you, but what can I get?" William said calmly,

it's impossible to ask him to help in vain, and even if William would do so, people in the Bank of France might wonder if he had ulterior motives.

Pierre clenched his hands and thought for a moment, "Chateau Chantilly, we'll sell it to you for $3.5 billion.".

"No, no, Pierre, I can help you, but that doesn't mean that I will lose my own interests and help you in vain.

we all know in our hearts how much Chateau Chantilly is worth. I need to see the real benefits, or white spots." William chased you out with two fingers

"I understand," Pierre nodded helplessly. Now it's their turn to beg for prestige Lian, not William, begged them. There are still some people in the world who can afford Chateau Chantilly, but William is the only one who will be interested in Chateau Chantilly.

And they also want to use William's reputation to offset the negative news as much as possible, "so if you can agree to our offer for castle, we will issue 5% of the shares of the Bank of France to you, and you need to pay only $1.5 billion.".

"Hey hey, so you've taken the $5 billion I deposited in your bank as the meat in your mouth?"

Pierre spread his hands and shrugged, "you know, any possible fund is the most precious in our eyes now. Anyone who dares to give up will not be fired by the board of directors the next day.".

1.5 billion won 5% of the shares, and William calculated in his mind. So Pierre, they set the valuation of the Bank of France at the low price of $30 billion, which is more than half of their current market value of $70 billion.

It seems that the situation is even more severe than expected. However, in a flash of an eye, all banks have been suffering from this kind of stock market disaster. Now they have lost one tenth of their market value in cash. If they can't handle it properly, the Bank of France may even go bankrupt.

Otherwise, even if the news of the bank's huge loss of 7 billion goes out and the stock price falls sharply, no one will directly cut half of the market value and find someone to help.

But it's good for William, "can I get into the board?"

"Of course," Pierre nodded hastily, "private ownership of 5% of the shares has become the fourth largest shareholder of our bank. Of course, we have the right to enter the board of directors,

and we also welcome you to join us. Your record in the stock market is exactly what we need.".

Good. I'll think about it.

Being on the board would ensure William's position in the bank and give him a chance to reach inside the bank.

At this stage of his life, money is no longer his favorite thing, but status and reputation.

This is also the plot used by the Bank of France. They know that William is not short of money, what he is short of is the inside information.

The only pity is that it may take a long time to get the money back, but William has not paid attention to the cash of only $1.5 billion, and it is not impossible for the stock price to recover.

"OK, happy cooperation", this kind of thing does not need to think about, William only thought for more than ten seconds to agree.

"Thank you," Pierre stood up excitedly, holding William's hand tightly. "Thank you very much, Mr. Devonshire.".

"Don't be too happy, Pierre. Will the French authorities agree to your sale of Chateau Chantilly?" said William calmly,"However, since the decision has been made, I will authorize you to use the $5 billion, but on the premise that if the official finally denies the castle trading, then the $5 billion will be converted into 18% shares of your bank to compensate for my loss.".

"This, this," Pierre hesitated after hearing, "my God, you have a big appetite.".

Looking down for a moment, Pierre shook his head regretfully and said, "I'll give you 18% of the shares, not to mention whether the board of directors of the bank will agree. I think the government would rather sell you the whole castle than approve this agreement.".

"What if I could help you with some of your losses?"

Thinking of Amir bacawi who has been calculating these days, William is confident that he can help the Bank of France to make some money from the stock market.

He didn't play in person because Amir bacawi put the place of attack in London. William wanted to live comfortably in England. He couldn't earn this kind of national wealth. Once he earned it, he would be settled by the personnel, and the time for trouble would be not far away.

But there is always a solution. The stock price of the Bank of France will plummet because they have lost money in the stock market. As long as they can earn a lot of money back, the market value will not return to the peak of 70 billion, but 50 billion or 60 billion will be guaranteed.

As long as he can buy shares in the bank at the price of US $30 billion, covering the market value of the bank is to help William make his own money, which is legitimate and legitimate.

So William said with a smile, "I dare not say anything else. I am confident to help you recover at least half of your losses in the stock market.".

"What?"

Pierre was stunned. But when they brought William to the board of directors, what they valued was not William's past record in the stock market. They expected William to lead them out of trouble.

Now that he didn't have to mention it, William volunteered. How surprised and unhappy Pierre was, he took William's arm and said excitedly, "are you serious? Mr. Devonshire.
