After putting on his pajamas and walking out of the bedroom, William saw Gallis sitting at the bar drinking whiskey. When he saw the bottle on the bar, he couldn't help but curse.
"Damn it, you bastard opened a bottle of Macallan 1926 and didn't wake me up."
"Hehe, you warned me before that if I woke you up, you would kick me out, so I can only drink by myself." Gallis smiled and poured William a glass. He shook the bottle a few times and said, "I'm a good friend, right? I left you more than half a bottle."
William took a sip and exhaled. "This wine is really good. Thank you, buddy. I'll remember to call you when I have good wine in the future."
"Haha, that's settled then. Come, cheers." Garris picked up his glass and clinked it with William's before downing it in one gulp. Then, he poured himself more than half a glass. "Come, let's have another toast. I have to go back to work after this."
William had just picked up the glass when the housekeeper who was waiting on him stuttered, "Sir, there's something I have to tell you.
This bottle of Macallan 1926 was specially prepared for you by our hotel according to your past drinking habits. It's priced at 55,000 US dollars.
Mr. Mallory opened this bottle on his own during your lunch break. This, this … "
"Wait, you just said 55,000 US dollars a bottle. Did I hear wrongly?" Before William could speak, Gallis quickly asked, "Then do you have any more of this wine? I'll buy a bottle from you for 55,000 US dollars."
"Hmm?" What does that mean? William looked at Gallis in confusion. He drank too much and became dizzy. No, William immediately reacted and asked the housekeeper, "How much is this wine on the market?"
The housekeeper was waiting for William to ask, so he looked at Gallis gratefully and said with a smile, "Sir, the auction price of this bottle of wine last year was 55,000 US dollars. This bottle was specially provided by a director of our hotel. Otherwise, we could only provide Macallan 1939 and Macallan '55."
"Do you have any more? One bottle is too little. How about Macallan 1946?"
William was also a shrewd person. That director must have something to ask of him since he had specially provided the wine to him.
However, if he wanted to approach William with just a bottle of wine, then William would be too cheap. Therefore, he directly suggested the Macallan 1946, which was so rare in this era that it was comparable to the giant panda.
"God, you're thinking too much, William. There were only 40 bottles of 26-year-old Macallan when they were refilled in the 1980s. I've never heard of a 46-year-old Macallan being auctioned. Just enjoy the bottle in front of you."
Seeing Gallis take a big gulp of the wine, William helplessly waved his hand and asked the butler to leave. He didn't have time to pay attention to the hotel director.
Holding the bottle, William sighed in his heart. He didn't care about the $55,000, but it was a pity that he couldn't keep it. Now that the bottle had been opened, it would be a waste of saliva to scold Garris, so he could only let him have it.
Gary, who had been quietly observing William's expression, was relieved when he saw that William didn't blame him at all.
Although he knew that William didn't care about tens of thousands of dollars, he was still a little worried when it came to it.
The two drank wine and ate snacks. Half an hour later, William saw that Gary was a little drunk. He smiled and said, "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Of course I want to hear the good news while drinking such good wine," Gary replied casually.
"The good news is that my people have secretly contacted Silva's mistress. If you want to continue what we talked about in the castle forest, then let Craig contact her. If you give up on that plan, I'll know where Silva is right now."
"You talked about it in the forest?" Gary put down the wine glass and thought about it. He understood what William meant. He was asking if he should kill M.
Looking at William's calm face, Gary's suddenly accelerated heartbeat slowly calmed down. He said indifferently, "It's only been a few days.
Not only did you find Silva's mistress, but you also managed to instigate her. William, how did you do it? "
William put two fingers together and made a gesture of counting money. "This is the bad news I want to tell you. 10 million dollars and a new identity. You should pay for it."
"My friend, are you joking with me?" Garris's mouth twitched as he said with a hint of schadenfreude.
"I have to say that you're really a capitalist. But I advise you to give up. Even if I agree to your request now, you won't get the money.
I'm not you. I can make my own decisions with money. The Security Committee's money is allocated by the finance department. It's easy for others, but it's difficult for you.
Hehe, think about it. The special policy for you has caused the finance department to lose hundreds of millions of dollars. The finance minister wants to eat you alive. You still want to take money from him? Are you still asleep or drunk? "
Not fooling the old fox, William changed his mind and said, "Then you have to help me promote the equipment Bond is using now. Otherwise, I'll lose a lot. I spent 10 million dollars just to buy Silva's information."
"Wait a minute, William. You might be able to fool people who don't know you, but don't try to fool me. If the price of buying information is more than one million dollars, then I'm sure you'll be able to buy it.
If you spend more than 1 million dollars, I'll immediately approve the purchase of 10 sets of 1.0 equipment from you. If it doesn't cost more than 1 million dollars, you'll give me 5 sets for free. "
"F * ck you, I'm working for you at a loss. I just asked you to help me promote some equipment and you're already so reluctant. Don't expect me to help you fully in the future." William angrily picked up his glass and took a big gulp.
After getting to know William, Gary understood his character too well. William had no concept of the country at all. All he thought about was his own interests. He wanted to ignore him, but he was afraid that if he didn't give him any benefits, William would cause trouble.
"Okay, after this, I'll lead a few departments to test the equipment you mentioned. It's up to you whether the people below will buy it or not. I have to go to work."
Gary finished the rest of the wine in his glass in one gulp. When he walked to the door, he turned around and looked at William's back.
"Once you've decided on something, you have to follow it to the end. If you say you'll send her to God, then you'll send her to God. You have to be a man of your words, right, William?"
William turned around, picked up his glass and made a toast to Gary. "I'm sure there won't be any problems on my side. Just think about it carefully."
After Gary left, William ordered Sunday to transfer the money to Seveline so that Bond could use the equipment for a longer time. Then, he started thinking about how to promote the new equipment.
.....
After Seveline received the deposit of 5 million dollars, she thought about the recording in Christmas's hands where she said she killed Silva in her dream. Seveline knew that she had no way out.
Under Christmas's guarantee that he would secretly protect her safety, she didn't think for a long time and told him where Silva was hiding. After agreeing on the secret signal, she returned to the Golden Dragon Hotel as if nothing had happened and waited for Bond to come.
With Seveline as a spy, everything went according to plan. Bond got on the boat to see Silva as he wished.
The dare-to-die team took advantage of the time difference. Caesar and Lu Tong drove the motorboat to send Barney, Christmas, Gunnar and YangYang to the island.
Seeing the island from afar, the four of them put on diving equipment and quietly went to the island in the night. Caesar and Lu Tong drove the motorboat back to the Malayan base. After receiving the signal, they would fly the Hind helicopter to the island to pick them up.
After going to the island, Barney and the other three were worried that Silva had an emergency escape route or was not on the island at all, so they didn't rashly search the island. Instead, they waited for Silva to show up.
