William's compliments made Hunter feel very comfortable. However, he was indeed a little too busy, and he couldn't put down his pride for William's scheme.
But William was a person who would not give up until he achieved his goal. He thought for a moment and said,
After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe I can ask Gordon Ramsay from Gordon Restaurant in Chelsea, England, to be your assistant to reduce your workload. At the same time, you can exchange cooking skills together."
"I know Gordon Ramsay. His restaurant was recently promoted to three Michelin stars." This suggestion made Hunter moved.
There weren't many opportunities for chefs to communicate with Michelin stars. They were usually too busy. Now that he could communicate with a new three-star chef, it was also a chance for Hunter to understand the new generation's tastes.
Moreover, William's salary was too generous. 1.5 million dollars for three days was a huge sum for someone like Hunter who had been famous for a long time.
However, preparing for a banquet wasn't that simple. Hunter thought for a while and said, "Mr. Devonshire, do you need our restaurant to provide the ingredients, banquet utensils, kitchen utensils, waiters, and so on?"
"Of course," William said without thinking, "1.5 million dollars is your team's salary, and I'll pay for everything else.
However, I hope that everything related to the banquet will be handed over to your restaurant. I'll only be responsible for paying. "
Hunter was both happy and depressed about William's attitude of only paying and not caring about anything.
He was happy because as long as the banquet was successful, William would pay without hesitation. However, he was depressed because there were more things that he needed to be responsible for.
Once he decided to be a chef, it wasn't a matter of three days. He had to start preparing from now on. Thinking about it this way, 1.5 million dollars actually bought him more than a month's time.
"Can you tell me how many guests there will be at the banquet? At the same time, what's your budget for the banquet? Are you going to leave everything related to the banquet to our restaurant? Also, "
"Stop," William interrupted Hunter again. "I don't know how many people there will be at the banquet, but the initial budget is 5 million dollars. If it's not enough, as long as the expenses are reasonable, I'll increase the budget.
I'll say it one last time. I'm only in charge of paying and getting someone to check the accounts. You guys can handle everything else.
As for how much money your restaurant can make, that depends on your ability. As long as it's reasonable and can withstand an audit, I don't care even if it costs 10 million US dollars in the end. "
"Okay, a banquet worth five to ten million US dollars. I think all the mothers in the world will be jealous of Mrs. Devonshire."
Hunter lowered his head and pondered for a moment. With an order worth at least five million dollars, the other shareholders of the restaurant would definitely not reject it.
However, he still apologized and took out his mobile phone to call the shareholders. A few minutes later, as expected, the shareholders agreed without any resistance in the face of five million or even ten million dollars.
Hunter walked back with a smile and nodded at William. "Then it's a pleasure working with you, Mr. Devonshire."
"Haha," William laughed a few times. He was very proud in his heart. Except for childbirth and illness, there was no Michelin chef in the world that couldn't be hired with money. Even if there was, it was because the money was not in place.
"It's a pleasure working with you, Hunter. My private lawyer will take care of the rest. You can look for him if you need anything."
"Understood, Mr. Devonshire," Hunter thought for a while and said, "I don't have much time left. If it's possible, I hope to contact your private lawyer now. I have a lot of work to discuss with him."
"Very good, I like your dedication." William didn't want Sunday to be too advanced in front of outsiders. He could only pretend to take out his mobile phone and said 'Anthony'. Soon, a beeping sound came from the phone.
Even so, other than Ambrosius, the others were very surprised. They were not only surprised that William only needed to say the name and the phone would automatically dial.
They were also surprised that William was holding a full-screen phone with a big screen and no buttons.
However, no matter how surprised they were, they could only look at it. He wouldn't give this kind of phone to an outsider.
The phone and glasses that he gave to Bond previously were all self-destructed after the mission. After reminding Bond a few times, Sunday destroyed the phone, glasses, charging case and so on.
It was the same for the equipment given to the suicide squad. All the equipment would self-destruct after the mission.
"Beep, beep." Anthony, who was sleeping at home in London, was suddenly woken up by a ringing phone. He got up and looked at the phone under his wife's irritated pats.
All the gloominess disappeared. After answering the phone, he said respectfully, "Good evening, Mr. Devonshire. What can I do for you?"
William told Anthony about the birthday party for his mother.
After listening to William's instructions, Anthony wailed in his heart and complained slightly, "Sir, I'm already too busy. You can't leave everything to me. I'm only your private lawyer, not your butler."
"Haha," William laughed and said, "How much is your annual salary?"
"One million pounds," Anthony answered guiltily. He thought that William was reminding him that William was paying for it.
However, Anthony didn't worry for more than a few seconds. William said, "Then your annual salary will be doubled. At the same time, I'll give you one million pounds a year to hire more subordinates. Any questions?"
"No, Mr. Devonshire, no questions," Anthony was so excited that he almost jumped up.
In just a little more than half a year, his annual salary had increased from three hundred thousand pounds to two million pounds. Moreover, he could allocate one million pounds to build a team.
One million pounds was enough for him to build a private team of about eight of the best young people. Plus, he had four subordinates assigned to him by Moonstone.
With more than twelve subordinates, he would soon become the lawyer with the most subordinates in Moonstone.
With the stimulation of money, Anthony quickly communicated with Hunter, who had taken over William's phone.
Seeing that William was fine, Ambrosio, who had been standing beside him, hugged William's arm and complained, "Dear, Chef Hunter is preparing for your mother's birthday party. What about my party?"
What else could he do? Of course, his girlfriend wasn't as important as his mother. However, William wasn't an idiot to say it out loud.
He smiled and said to Ambrosio, "It's not like we're going to England immediately. Most of the preparation work is done in New York.
You're treating at restaurant No. 11. Chef Hunter still has time for a day. "
"Hmph, I'm not as important as your mother in your heart."
"Damn it, aren't you talking nonsense?" William rolled his eyes at Ambrosio who was stubborn. He replied unhappily, "Don't tell me that I'm more important than your parents in your heart now."
Ambrosio opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She wasn't as confident as William to tell her directly that she wasn't as important as William's mother.
However, if she didn't say anything, she was afraid that William was testing her. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red and tears were about to fall.
"Okay, okay." William hugged his girlfriend and joked, "It's normal that I'm not as important as your parents. If you say that I'm more important than your parents, then I won't be happy. Maybe I'll even teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents.
Apart from children, it's normal that a husband isn't as important as parents, let alone a boyfriend. Dear, I don't like unfilial girls. "
"You bastard, William. Who said that I'm unfilial? I just think that you're as important as my parents." Ambrosio hit William's shoulder a few times.
