After hanging up the phone, William sat in the driver's seat and silently thought about the benefits and troubles of this cooperation.
There were many benefits. As long as Grand Duke Devin could make the expected money this time, there would be a large number of English nobles joining this group in the future. By then, he could have as many Chinese antiques as he wanted.
In William's view, this cooperation model could increase the expected benefits by many times in addition to the utilization of waste.
Just like what Gareth said about the source of wealth in Eastern Europe, William would definitely have left Pushkin alone after killing him because he had no intention and did not want to be involved in the underworld.
Now, he handed it over to Grand Duke Devin who was eager to find a source of wealth for his descendants. Not only could he completely destroy the remaining forces of Pushkin, but he could also get rid of the nobles in England who had been eyeing him. At the same time, William could make a lot of money himself.
There would definitely be many such opportunities in the future. This could also be considered as opening up his own source of wealth and influence in the aristocratic group in a disguised way.
No matter what era it was, the one who could make people rich was the boss. When more people in the aristocratic group knew that he could bring them wealth, he would be able to keep his word in the group, but at least no one would dare to provoke him. The God of Fortune was more popular than God.
Of course, William would not relax his vigilance against the aristocrats. These days, there were too many people who were stabbed in the back by their own people. Now that he needed the God of Fortune, it did not mean that some people would not have the idea of replacing him in the future.
William would never give away his own benefits. Just like what he had said to Gareth, at most, he would give the people on the same side a chance to drink some soup and eat some leftovers.
If they wanted to eat meat, they would have to exchange it with something of the same value or something that could interest William. Otherwise, he would chop off the hand of whoever reached out to grab it.
If he could not chop it off in the open, couldn't he do it secretly? It was not like he did not have any tricks up his sleeve.
After thinking it through, William said to Sunday, "Help me check the situation of Abigail in the National Archives of the United States and see if she is still under surveillance."
"Yes, sir."
More than ten minutes later, Sunday replied, "Sir, according to the current situation, Miss Abigail's investigation has been completed. Although she is fine, she has lost her job at the National Archives and has been idle at home for the past two months.
I checked all the surveillance videos of the places where Miss Abigail appeared in the past two months. The person who started to follow her in the past month has disappeared, but her mobile phone is being monitored. However, the data shows that she is not restricted from leaving the country. "
"Hehe, it's fine as long as I'm not restricted from leaving the country. On Sunday, find an art company and use their name to send an invitation to Abby. Then help me order a new phone and send it to Abby."
"Yes, sir. The mobile phone store will deliver it to Miss Abigail's home in fifteen minutes."
"Yes, the sales store came to me personally. When did the Americans become so considerate?"
"Sir, give me an extra 500 USD tip. I don't think any mobile phone store would refuse to deliver."
"Taiyang, since when did you learn how to spend my money?"
"I'm sorry, sir. You authorized me to use your account during the mission. I have to say, sir, except for your mother, you are a stingy person."
"In less than nine months, you have earned 20 billion USD in 250 days. You have already earned 18.11 times 500 USD in the ten seconds you are talking to me."
"The 500,000 USD you gave Miss Ambrosio a month is not as much as the money you earned in ten minutes. I feel sorry for Miss Ambrosio."
"FK, shut your beak." William hurriedly scanned the cabin with his spiritual force and heaved a sigh of relief when he found that Ambrosio was in the master bedroom. If that girl knew about this, it would be strange if she didn't make a fuss with him.
Sunday's words made William blush a little. He said stubbornly, "What do you know? I'm protecting Ambrosio. If people knew that she had a large sum of money in her hands, she would be targeted at any minute. How good is it now? Outsiders think that Ambrosio and I are just playing around."
"I'm sorry, sir. Ever since you named this ship Ambrosio, I don't think others will think that you are playing around."
"Hehe, how would an artificial intelligence like you understand? As long as I don't transfer the ownership of the ship to Ambrosio's name, outsiders will think that I am just playing around."
As for whether it was really playing around, William himself couldn't say for sure. At first, he must have had the idea of playing around, but now he had a good feeling about Ambrosio.
As for what would happen in the future, he would talk about it later. However, no matter how good the feeling was, William would definitely not get married.
Speaking of women, other than Ambrosio, it seemed that only Abigail would make him remember. Moreover, Abigail made William remember her because she was an expert in Chinese antiques.
Just as he thought of this, his phone suddenly rang. "Sir, it's Miss Abigail."
William snapped his fingers. "Answer it."
As soon as the phone was connected, he heard, "Hello, this is Abigail, Mr. Devonshire?"
"It's me, Abby. Long time no see. How have you been recently?"
After confirming that it was William, Abigail complained resentfully, "Ha, you still remember to ask me if I've been well. A few months ago, you sneaked back to England without saying a word and left me in Washington for investigation. William, Devonshire, you weren't so ruthless when you slept with me."
"I'm sorry, Abby. I didn't contact you to protect you. Now that you're fine, I'm looking for you. I still remember our agreement. This time, I'm calling you because I hope you can go to England to preside over the acquisition of Chinese antiques and the construction of the museum. "
"God, you're serious." The construction of the museum made Abigail immediately choose to forget to continue mocking William. "When? When will I go to England?"
"If you're free, there will be a private jet parked at the airport in half an hour. They will take you directly to Switzerland and then take you to London."
"I'll pack my luggage now. God, I can finally leave this suffocating place. I don't want to stay in Washington for a moment."
"Just pack a few clothes to change. You can go to London to buy the rest. All expenses can be reimbursed by me. Consider it a new meeting gift for your new job.
If you're interested, you can see the house in Kensington Garden Street. I've wanted to buy a villa there for a long time, but I haven't had the time. As a reward, I'll allow you to live in the new house. "
"Ha, just live in it?" Abigail laughed a few times. "No problem, Boss. I promise you'll get your wish soon. Maybe the next time you see me will be in the new house."
"Very good. Have a safe trip, beautiful Miss Abigail."
"Bye-bye, Boss."
After hanging up the phone, William told Sunday, "Tell Felix of the Swiss National Bank about Abby's flight. Except for the antiques, ask him to send someone to accompany Abby.
At the same time, ask him to go to China to find several experts to appraise the antiques with Abby. The commission can be relaxed, but the confidentiality clause must be the strictest. "
"Understood, Sir."
