Pierre, the general manager of the Bank of France, had a good discussion. Anthony, who had been ready that day, took a team of more than 20 people to Paris to discuss the contract with the people of the Bank of France.
After two days to confirm the contract, William left for Paris by helicopter and landed on the roof of the Bank of France building.
When I got off the plane, I saw not only the people waiting for him at the Bank of France, led by Anthony and his colleague Pierre, but also a helicopter flying around the bank building with the TV logo on its fuselage.
"Boss, now you may be the most unpopular Englishman in France," joked Anthony, who stood beside William.
"Is it OK to confirm the contract?" Regardless of Anthony's jokes, William asked with a smile,
when he heard that William was serious, Anthony said, "of course, no problem. We not only reviewed it ourselves, but also reviewed it with our colleagues in France to ensure that there will be no problem with this contract in France.".
"What if the French government wants to overturn the contract?"
"Don't worry, boss, we live in the capital world. If the French government wants to decide this contract, the Bank of France will have to accompany us with at least 50% of the penalty, which is US $1.75 billion. If it can't afford to pay, it will have to use 5% of the shares to offset it," Anthony said with a smile.
"In addition to your promise not to sell any of the relics in Chateau Chantilly to France, the current president reluctantly agreed, otherwise he would not have so much money to relieve the Bank of France.".
Ha ha, it seems that I have to find a chance to thank the president.
Although the discomfort cost US $300 million more than the bottom line of price in my heart, when I think about the doubling of land price in the future, my discomfort will soon disappear.
Then he shook hands with Pierre, who had been waiting for him and had been deliberately ignored by himself, and narrowed his eyes. Limang said in his eyes,
"it seems that not only ordinary people don't welcome me, but also the shareholders in your bank don't welcome me. No one has come to pick me up.
Do they think that with the $3.5 billion, they will no longer pay attention to me, the benefactor who reaches out to you when you are in danger, or do they think that the $3.5 billion sale of Chantilly castle is a great bargain for me? ".
"I'm sorry, Mr. Devonshire. Although it's a bit impolite, in my opinion, and even in the eyes of all the French people, you've really taken advantage of it. It's an obvious fact that if it wasn't for the big problem of our bank itself, let alone $3.5 billion, it would still be a problem whether we would talk to you.
It's not disrespectful that the shareholders didn't come to meet you, but because Mr. Zongtong will personally come to the meeting to witness the signing ceremony.
With that, Pierre grinned at William.
"Well, I don't think I'm as important as Mr. bucket." William laughs and takes the lead to walk down the roof.
William didn't care if he wasn't insulted on purpose. As for his unpopularity, it was expected.
People don't have to ask you now. Why flatter you.
"It's a pity that after this cooperation, other things we discussed may fail," Pierre sighed. "I didn't expect that 80% of the shareholders who agreed to your share would change their minds so soon,
but our cooperation has been fruitful. After today, Chateau Chantilly, the treasure of France, is your private property.".
"Ha ha, thank you." William was very happy to buy Chantilly castle. Not to mention antiques and castles, the 7800 hectares of land alone will be worth tens of billions of dollars in more than ten years.
It's normal for antiques and cultural relics to appreciate four or five times, which is another 67 billion US dollars.
And money is second. The key is that William really likes the climate and environment around Chantilly castle.
Walk into the elevator and go down to the conference room on the 22nd floor of the bank building.
As soon as he pushed the door in, he saw Abigail in a lady's work suit standing in front of a group of people to greet him.
Embracing Abigail, William pretends to complain, "why don't you pick me up on the roof?".
Abigail gave William a white look. "God, be serious, boss. It's working time. I don't want to be talked behind my back that I got my present position by betraying my appearance.".
But the truth is that you did tempt me.
"Damn it, let me go," he said to William. They hugged each other for a long time. Abigail, who didn't want to be gossiped, struggled.
"Well, I'll teach you a lesson at night," said Abigail. William went to the head of England's foreign office in France to thank him and several other high-level people for coming to the signing ceremony.
As the new richest man in England, the people in the foreign affairs office are certainly willing to have a good relationship with William. Maybe we can have a meeting sometime.
After introducing each other, everyone started chatting with their glasses. In a few minutes, the scene began to be noisy. Soon, the people in the Foreign Affairs Office whispered to William and their leader Ronnie, "Mr. main barrel is here."."Come on, Mr. Devonshire, let's pick up the most unlucky barrel that hasn't had a good day since we took office, Mr. KELNER beckon," Ronnie joked.
"OK," William nodded, followed Ronnie to the elevator and waited. Then he asked Ronnie in a low voice jokingly, "what's the temper and character of Mr. barrel who hasn't had a good day.".
"He has a good temper, that is, he has a strong smell of Gallic rooster, and he doesn't care about any affairs outside France, and he has a serious habit of being late.
except for business, if it's about nine o'clock, Mr. Zongtong will never arrive before nine ten. It's a common practice for him to be late for half an hour, and most of the time he is late Even if he arrives early, he will stay outside and let you wait for him to see you for more than ten minutes. "
"So special," William chuckled.
"It's so special." Ronnie laughed. "But these are not big problems. They're easier to get in touch with than those who have special interests. If they get in touch with each other more, maybe you'll make friends with them.".
"Thank you. Let's forget about becoming friends. I don't believe that a real Gallic Rooster can chat with me happily after seeing me, the devil who bought their national treasure. It's surprising that he can come to the signing ceremony.".
"No, no," Ronnie said strangely, "he's not here for the signing ceremony. There are so many people against him. If he didn't come for other purposes, he would be an idiot."
"Maybe it's from you for investment," Ronnie said, staring at William with a strange smile. "Anyone with the ability knows that you have at least ten billion dollars in cash in the bank,
so in the eyes of KELNER beckon, who has been short of money, you are a mobile vault. He must find a way to lead you to the French vault and lock you up.".
