"Wow, is there so much? Doesn't that mean I'll have to pay more than five million pounds in inheritance tax in the future?" William made a funny face.
"Well, this is indeed a fortunate thing." William thought for a while and continued, "What I can do is that when I do inherit the title of Earl and the wealth of the Devonshire family one day in the future, I'll donate the remaining part to the England Foundation for the Protection of Women and Children after paying the inheritance tax. That is to say, for 100 pounds of property, I'll pay 40% of the inheritance tax, and I'll donate the remaining 60% in cash. Please note that I'm talking about the total wealth determined by the English tax authorities at that time, and I won't sell the family's real estate. I'll only donate the cash."
"Of course, there's one more important thing. I hope that I haven't gone bankrupt in a few decades, and that Mr. Earl's business talent is too good. By then, I won't be able to inherit even if I want to. However, I'm still very worried because Mr. Earl has increased your wealth by nearly 30 times in the past ten years. God, 30 times. I'm thinking that when I inherit the title in a few decades, the English government will ask William if he has one billion pounds to inherit the title. I think I'll be very desperate then," William said with a look of uncertainty.
Haha, everyone laughed knowingly. The people present were all in the media industry. They knew that William was joking and pretending to be pitiful. He was changing the topic, hoping that the English people would not hate him too much for being able to inherit the title and wealth. This method was still very useful for the 19-year-old.
A young man who could earn ten times the inheritance wealth by himself and who knew how to act cute and pitiful could easily win everyone's favor, and they would not be so jealous of him.
This was very important. As long as the majority of people did not object, there would be no accidents when he inherited the title.
In particular, the Earl of Oxford, who was watching the live broadcast on TV, suddenly had a good impression of William in his heart. He was not so resistant to William inheriting his title. After all, he had ten years to work hard.
But in the past ten years, no child had been born. He didn't know how many women he had found, but none of them had been pregnant. It seemed that it was just as William had said. This was all arranged by God. The count comforted himself in his heart.
The Grand Duke of Devon and many of the nobles watching the live broadcast had a good impression of William. After all, William did not show any signs of urgency, nor did he say that he did not want to inherit the title.
The press conference ended at 5 o 'clock sharp. William and Roger Moore shook hands and said goodbye. However, Roger Moore did not want to let William go now. It was understandable if he did not know. Now that he knew that William had a mature project in his hands, and it looked very delicious. The future was bright.
He would be a fool if he didn't hold on to William at this time. No matter what, he had to try and see if there was a chance to join.
"William, we're friends now, aren't we?" Roger Moore asked in a deliberately intimate tone.
"Of course, Roger. Of course, we're friends." William could tell that the vice president of Bai Shida was interested in the Listening series. However, William looked down on Bai Shida when it came to the MP3 player. Even Bai Shida's parent company couldn't do anything about it. Other than paying for it, Bai Shida couldn't help William much.
Wait, Viacom seemed to have a TV station. Maybe it would be useful.
"Just say it, Roger. You know, I have a wonderful date in a while." William winked at Roger Moore and gestured for Roger to look at the door of the conference hall.
He saw Diana League waving at William.
"Well, William, you lucky boy. I will say it directly. Baishida is very interested in your Listening series. I think we can find time to have a serious talk."
"Roger, I am not short of money now, so what can Baishida do for me? Roger, I think you can understand what I mean. What I need now is someone who can help me and help the Listening series. Money is not the most important thing. "
Roger Moore was about to say something when he heard the BBC TV station in front of him call in several experts to explain after the live broadcast ended.
The BBC host said, "Professor Thomas, do you think the technology William Devonshire just said can be achieved? And is the crude handmade MP3 in William Devonshire's hand really as good as he said?"
A white-haired old man in his sixties appeared on the TV and said to the TV, "From a technical point of view, what William Devonshire said can be achieved, and it is very easy to achieve. The most difficult part is how to soften these technologies together and how to raise the price to a level that the public can accept. I find it hard to believe that William alone has completed a task that even a big company might not be able to complete. But when I saw and heard that handmade MP3 he took out, I have to believe it."
"Okay, friends in front of the TV series, since Professor Thomas thinks that it is easy to achieve what William said, and it seems that William has solved the two problems mentioned by the professor, then here is the question.
If there is an MP3 cheaper than the current one, although I don't know how much cheaper it is, but it has a bigger capacity, better sound quality, and more beautiful, will you buy it?
I don't know what you will think, but I will definitely buy it because it is really too special. And what I am most concerned about now is how many products will be in the first batch of the Listen series. I even feel that the first batch is not enough to meet the needs of the City of London.
The reason why William Devonshire caught our attention is that he has become the youngest billionaire in England. But in less than two days, he used facts to tell us how cruel reality is. It took him a month to become a billionaire, and now he will become a billionaire in half a year. What about in a year? William Devonshire, you must not tell me or let me know that you are already the richest person in England. I will probably have a heart attack and be sent to the hospital. "
After that, he said to the people in the live broadcast room, "By the way, don't tell me that I have decided to block all information about William Devonshire in half a year, because I really think that my prediction will come true."
An expert in the live broadcast room laughed and nodded in agreement. "If, I mean if everything is really like what William Devonshire said, I think it will be no problem for him to become a billionaire. You noticed that during the interview, he mentioned drones, but he was interrupted by Diana League. Now I am more curious about the drones that William Devonshire mentioned."
"Yes, yes, yes. I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it. William said drones at that time, but unfortunately, there were so many reporters at the scene, and no one mentioned drones."
After seeing that the TV did not broadcast what he wanted to hear, Roger Moore stopped paying attention to the live broadcast. Looking at the young man in front of him, Roger Moore could not believe that the young man in front of him would become a billionaire.
Roger Moore said helplessly, "Well, William, let's make an appointment to have a good talk. I also need to go back to the United States to report the situation here to the board of directors. William, I won't disturb your date with the beauty. I wish you a wonderful night."
"Thank you, Roger. I will call you if I need anything. That's all for today. Goodbye." William shook hands with Roger and said goodbye.
When he walked to Diana League, he saw that the beautiful woman had changed into a woman's dress. She looked more feminine than the business suit she was wearing just now. William was stunned. He praised, "Diana, you are so beautiful now. I was stunned just now."
"Hahaha, thank you, William. You can call me Diana." Diana League was very satisfied with the way William looked at her just now. It meant that her strategy was successful. It made it easier for her to enter William's sight.
"Okay, Diana. Let's go."
