The next day, after getting up and washing up, Jessie walked into the master bedroom with two maids carrying clothes. After helping William get dressed, she told William that Old Smith had invited him to have breakfast together.
William looked at his watch. It was already 9 o 'clock, and Old Smith was still in the mood to invite him to breakfast. It seemed that the sniping was going well.
Jessie took William to Old Smith's private residence in the Kaiser Palace. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw many security guards in black and white shirts with headphones around.
With a sweep of his mental power, he knew that these security guards were equipped with handguns. Some of them even had shotguns hidden in their clothes. William's heart tightened. Hehe, this old man is not going to have a Hongmen Banquet with me, is he?
Before he entered, he heard Old Smith's voice. "Good morning, William. How was your rest yesterday?"
William smiled and said, "Not bad. I'm very satisfied with the service of your hotel. I'm so satisfied that I want to invite Jessie to work for me. Unfortunately, she's still thinking about it."
"William, you're wrong. I assigned my most valued employee to serve you, but you want to poach my employee. No," Old Smith looked at Jessie and said, "Jessie, I'll promote you to the vice president of the hotel's service department. Your salary will be increased by 30%."
When Jessie heard this, her face immediately showed a grateful expression. "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Smith. I'll work hard and live up to your expectations."
William rolled his eyes. Why didn't any beautiful women throw themselves at him? Was it so unattractive to work beside him?
This made William unhappy. He said in annoyance, "Okay, okay, let's have breakfast first. This news is really sad, Jessie."
"Haha." Old Smith was very happy to hear William's words. Finally, his method of controlling his subordinates did not fail. Jessie, who he often paid attention to and trained, did not disappoint him. She was not taken away by William.
Jessie covered her mouth and chuckled as she apologized to William. She said that she could not ignore Smith's kindness and leave the Kaiser Palace.
Walking into the dining hall, the two of them finished their breakfast with Jessie and the maids serving them. During the meal, Old Smith was very envious of William's appetite. Although his appetite had always been good, it paled in comparison to William's.
After that, Old Smith took William for a walk on the rooftop of Caesar's Palace. As soon as they walked out of the elevator, they saw that the entire rooftop had been transformed into a private garden. There was grass, flowers, trees, and a gazebo.
William sighed in his heart. That old man Smith really knew how to enjoy life. In a desert like Las Vegas, one could imagine the cost of maintaining and taking care of a garden the size of half a football field.
He still couldn't learn the sense of superiority that was ingrained in the bones of these old tycoons.
The two of them walked and chatted in the garden on the rooftop for more than ten minutes. Old Smith sat down with William on a chair, took a few sips of coffee, and said, "Things are going well. Since this morning, many people have called me, hoping to get involved in the Belle Hotel Group's business. These hyenas have all rushed over as soon as they smelled the scent.
"Terry Benedict has been taken away by the police. This has caused Belle Hotel Group to be in a mess. The stock price has plummeted by 16% this morning. Tony should have made about a billion dollars. If things continue to escalate, it's not impossible for the stock price to fall by half.
"This time, Tony used convertible bonds. Maybe when Tony sells the futures in his hands, the bonds in our hands will become half of Belle Hotel Group's shares."
At this point, Old Smith paused for a moment and took a few sips of coffee. Seeing that William's expression didn't change, he said with a smile, "William, have you ever thought of becoming a shareholder of our group? The future of Las Vegas hotels and tourism is still very good. The revenue of the hotels has been constantly expanding over the years. If you invest now, maybe ten years later, the 100 million investment will become 300 million. "
Of course, William knew what Smith was talking about. It wasn't 100 million becoming 300 million, but 600 million. However, in his opinion, it was still too slow, and he didn't want to get involved in anything related to the card industry. It would have a great impact on his reputation. "Haha, you seem to be short of money?"
Looking at William's somewhat teasing expression, Smith knew that he couldn't fool William. He sighed in his heart and changed his tone. He said in a somewhat discouraged tone, "Sigh, if we want to swallow Belle Hotel Group as a whole, we can only acquire more than half of the shares in a short time. If we delay for too long, once other groups get involved, the acquisition will immediately fall into a tug of war.
"And we have to leave enough cash in hand to prevent others from spying on Caesar's Palace. So, we hope you can help us."
"How can I help you?" William asked in confusion.
"William, ordinary people don't know, but do you think I don't know? Don't forget that when you played against Stark, you provided three billion US dollars in cash from the Swiss National Bank.
So, we hope to borrow three billion US dollars from you with 12% of Caesar's Palace Group's shares. The time limit is one year, and we will pay you 3.3 billion US dollars when the time comes. "
Ten percent annual interest sounded good, but William refused without even thinking about it. "No, cash is the king at this time. I already have a plan for this money. The stock market is so low. In the first half of the year, I will buy shares of some big companies. In the future, the stock price will increase by one or two times."
Thinking that William, a little guy who made a fortune on the stock market, was now eyeing the stock market and was waiting for the stock market to hit the bottom, Smith knew that it was impossible for him to borrow money from William.
However, he wasn't frustrated. He didn't have much hope for this test. "Then we hope that your commission will be paid in shares."
Old Smith snapped his fingers at his men not far away. Immediately, several lawyers in suits and leather shoes came over with briefcases. After greeting Smith and William, they opened their briefcases and took out a bag of documents. After handing it to William, they returned to their original positions and stood there.
William opened the bag and slowly flipped through it. The top half of the documents were companies in England, and the rest were companies in Europe. There was not a single company in the United States. William couldn't help but feel annoyed.
However, after looking through the documents, he finally found a company that caught his eye. It was the England Power Company. He flipped to the last few pages and saw that the document showed 16% shares.
The market value of the England Power Company at this time seemed to be only about four billion pounds, which was about 5.3 billion US dollars.
Thinking of this price, William wondered if he should take advantage of the stock market crisis to buy the entire England Power Company. He had a lot of power technology in mind.
William threw the document in his hand aside. "I'm only interested in the England Power Company. I don't like the rest. Mr. Smith, you are being very insincere."
