92 million US dollars could buy less than one-tenth of the antiques of the Celestial Empire?
This news made William happy instead of surprised. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. These old aristocrats seemed to have declined, but they were really rich. Only five or six families could come up with such valuable antiques of the Celestial Empire.
Their family history was very long and glorious, but their vision was really not good. In addition, in the current period, the overseas purchasing power of the people of the Celestial Empire had not yet begun, so these aristocrats inevitably looked down on the prospects of the Celestial Empire's antiques.
But they didn't know that England would really become a second-rate country in less than 20 years. At that time, the people of the Celestial Empire would look down on them.
But this was also good, otherwise he wouldn't have the opportunity to buy on a large scale. William sneered a few times in his heart. A group of country bumpkins living in the dream of the Empire with no foresight.
If he could buy all of them, this batch of Celestial Empire antiques would immediately become 5 billion US dollars in less than 10 years. It might even be 20 billion US dollars in 15 years.
This was really a more suitable heirloom than gold. In the future, with these Celestial Empire antiques, he could be on the Forbes list of the world's richest people.
He just didn't know if in the future there would be a prodigal son who would sell the antiques he had painstakingly saved.
At the same time, William had some feelings in his heart. When people were lucky, they didn't need to think about it. Wealth would lean on you.
Grand Duke Devin and the others would definitely not agree to buy it directly with money, because not only would they have to pay taxes, but they would also not achieve their original intention of making their descendants rich and rich to pay the inheritance tax.
William lowered his head and looked at the dark sea surface. He pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision. He would tell Duke Devin and the rest about the Polar Bear Mafia in exchange for the Herbal Medicine.
It was a very simple arithmetic problem. The value of the Celestial Empire antiques would soar in the future. The Guaikuang and the sniping of the Faraday Group could only make a little money, at most 300 or 400 million US dollars.
The entire Faraday Group was less than 1 billion US dollars. Faraday was not a Ferrari. Faraday was just a yacht maker. Don't expect to squeeze much out of them.
There was also the matter of the Pushkin gang in the Polar Bear. Pushkin had the same black money in many countries in Eastern Europe as in New York.
As long as Pushkin was killed, the Polar Bear Gang would be in chaos without a leader. But William had no choice and did not want to care about the gang. He did not have any power or manpower in Eastern Europe.
Now, not only could he sell the information to Grand Duke Devin in exchange for the Celestial Dynasty antiques in their hands, but he could also attract Grand Duke Devin's attention and energy to these troubles.
It can also greatly weaken the power of the Polar Bear Gang and prevent them from retaliating. For William, this is killing two birds with one stone.
After making up his mind, William said to the phone, "Are you still there?"
"Of course, I almost thought you were asleep," Garris complained over the phone.
"Cut the crap. I'll send people to check and appraise those Celestial Dynasty antiques. I only want high-quality goods. If they're all trash, then our agreement is invalid."
Although William couldn't wait to collect all the antiques of the Celestial Empire, he knew that it was impossible. He couldn't show too much urgency in his first transaction.
Otherwise, those old foxes would definitely keep the good stuff first and use it as a bargaining chip to exchange with him next time.
However, he couldn't delay for too long. Otherwise, the value of the Celestial Dynasty antiques would start to rise, and he wouldn't be able to exchange for them.
Therefore, William planned to bait the Grand Duke Devin and attract their attention to money and trouble.
"If you want to make money, then take out the good stuff for me to choose. As long as I'm satisfied, I have two ways to make a fortune. One is very simple. It takes one to three months and the profit can be about three to four hundred million dollars. If you're brave, you might be able to get a medium-sized group of one billion dollars.
"The other may be a little troublesome. The location is in Eastern Europe. This should be a long-term source of income, but it will involve some illegal activities. Once you understand the specific situation, I don't care if you do it or not, I'll charge you 200 million dollars for the information.
"However, I promise that it'll be easy to make 500 to 600 million dollars a year if you do it well in Eastern Europe. If you're ruthless and don't fear retribution, it won't be a problem to make one billion dollars a year."
"One billion a year? Then why don't you do it yourself?" Gallis asked doubtfully. "You mean a business related to illegal activities. Eastern Europe is so big, how can you guarantee that we can clean up the other party's manpower?"
"I already said that there will be retribution for that business. I don't lack that 500 million or one billion. As for the information, hehe, I promise that the information will be so accurate that the other party's leaders and small leaders will know exactly how many lovers they have.
"Also, I'll provide after-sales service. Whoever you think is a hindrance, as long as you pay one to five million dollars, I promise that the hindrance won't live for more than three days."
"Hehe, you're really greedy, William. How can after-sales service be called after-sales service when you have to pay for it? That's a secondary fee, okay?" Gallis choked in annoyance.
"Also, do you think that the big nobles won't have a few people who specialize in illegal activities? One to five million dollars? You won't even have a chance to touch that kind of money."
"Very good, Gallis. You've successfully removed my burden of raising the price. Now, this information is worth 300 million dollars."
"Bastard," Gallis held back after cursing. He really believed that if he cursed a few more times, William, this shameless guy, would definitely raise the price again.
"Thank you. Actually, you don't have to be so polite. I don't mind if you curse me a few more times," William laughed sinisterly.
"Alright, you win, William," Gallis admitted defeat helplessly. If Grand Duke Devin and the others knew that they had to pay an extra 200 million dollars just because they cursed William a few times, Gallis would definitely agree.
Gallis believed that even if Grand Duke Devin and the others knew that this was just an excuse for William to raise the price, they would definitely be unhappy with him. It was even possible that they would label him as an idiot.
"I'll send the information to a website tomorrow. As long as you open the website with the password I gave you, you'll have to pay me 300 million dollars. Plus the 92 million dollars from before, you'll owe me 392 million dollars.
Use the Chinese antiques as a deduction and get a 30% discount. My people will pick Chinese antiques worth 560 million dollars. Is that okay with you? "
"How would I know if there's a problem? I'm just a messenger. Personally, I still believe in your credibility. But shouldn't you tell me about the easy way to make three or four hundred million USD?" "That's right," Zhang Heng said. "That's right.
"Hehe, it's more interesting to eat first before it's sweet. Eat the unpalatable parts first, then the good parts will taste better."
"Screw you. You're just afraid that we'll choose the easy way and give up the hard way. Don't worry about it. As long as it's really as easy as you say, you'll be able to earn a billion dollars a year.
As long as there's money to be made, there are many people who don't care about that little bit of karma. Even if you're a big noble, it's not like you don't have the money to keep a mistress, "Gallis said faintly.
"Haha, that's it then. My people will go to London in a few days," William reminded him. "Take good care of my people. She's a great beauty. You know what will happen if cockroaches harass her."
"Hehe, no problem. You're our rich man now. I guarantee that no one will dare to touch your woman," Gallis laughed. "Bye bye."
