"God, if it's really built, not to mention private museums, even some national museums don't have as many collections as you do." Wilson put his arm around William's shoulder and smiled slyly. "You bought Chelsea and planned to invest hundreds of millions of pounds to build a stadium training base. Now you want to build a super private museum. Man, how much money have you made? Don't tell me you really have 20 billion US dollars. "
"Well," William thought for a few seconds and shrugged. Why should he tell you? "It's hard to say exactly how much it is because a lot of it is in stocks and other book numbers. However, if the Grand Duke's wealth is really as reported, then I have no problem with having a little more than him."
Grand Duke Min Xishiji smiled. "William, being too modest is being hypocritical. The Min Xishiji family fund is only 7 billion US dollars. It's not just a little less than you, it's at least twice as much. Your wealth is worth more than 10 billion US dollars based on the stocks we can find.
Although we don't know how much cash the Swiss National Bank has, I think it should be no less than 3 billion US dollars. Plus your newly established Devonshire family fund, these add up to more than 15 billion US dollars.
And I believe you must have a lot of hidden wealth. With this calculation, the wealth you have may be more than the second to tenth place on England's wealth list combined. "
"No matter how much money you have, it can't compare to your influence in England."
"No, you're wrong. Now it's the eyeball economy. Most people don't care what the second place on the wealth list is called. 99% of the media reports are focused on the richest man. Moreover, all of my wealth is in land, real estate, and other real estate.
Although the income from these wealth is stable, it doesn't surprise people. Unlike you, you earn hundreds of millions, more than a billion at a time. You're the new darling of the media. Your influence is much greater than mine. "
"I don't agree with that." William shook his head. "In this world, it's not about who has more money or who is more powerful. It's about who can create more wealth for more people. Min Xishiji's family has created so many jobs. Their social contribution is much higher than people like me who rely on the stock market to make a fortune."
"Haha, you're right. Regardless of the era, the person who can make his own fortune and lead others to create wealth is the boss," Wilson chuckled. "So, William, don't forget about me if there's a good opportunity. I'm younger than you anyway, so I don't mind being your little brother."
"Forget it. If your grandfather and father find out that I treat you as my little brother, it would be a light punishment if they don't beat me up. You should just obediently be the second in line to the throne. Otherwise, if you have too much money in your hands, you might do something absurd and affect the reputation of the royal family."
"Damn it, buddy. If you don't want to make money with me, just say it. Why do you have to talk so much nonsense to brush me off? What do you mean by having too much money and doing ridiculous things? "Wilson glanced at William in disdain." You've done more ridiculous things than I have. The last time I took you out to play, you were one of them. "
"Stop," William quickly interrupted Wilson. "The party hasn't even started and you're already drunk? If you dare expose me, I'll tell your mother about what you've done. I guarantee that you'll be grounded for a year. "
"Do you have to be so cruel?" Wilson quickly raised his hand. "You win. If I'm grounded for a year, I'll definitely go crazy." He pulled Lin Li's arm. "Let's go. Don't let my grandfather and father wait for too long."
Before entering the private room, Wilson opened the door and pushed William into the room. He turned to Duke Min Nishideramin and said, "Duke Grosvenor, can you show me this 18th century building? I've been fascinated by Gothic architecture recently. I've been regretting that I didn't get to take a good look the last time I came. "
"Go away, kid. Don't forget that your godmother is my wife. You're still too inexperienced to leave me." Duke Min Nishideramin pushed Wilson away. However, to his surprise, Wilson didn't budge. Duke Grosvenor was so angry that he pointed at Wilson's nose and scolded.
"You heartless little bastard. I was kind enough to remind you to follow William's footsteps. Do you think I'll let go of this opportunity? If you don't go away obediently now, I'll beat you up. "
"Whatever." Wilson raised his chin and said in a low voice. "It's not like I haven't been punished by you when I was young. If you dare to beat me up now, I'll risk being punished by my godmother. I'll make that kid Hugh Grosvenor go home crying."
"Alright, Wilson. Let Grosvenor in." When Wilson heard his grandfather's voice, he immediately smiled and gestured for Grosvenor to enter. He rolled his eyes at William, who was standing by the door. This act was too fake.
However, sometimes a fake act wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Wilson was using his actions to tell his grandfather and father that he dared to stand in Grosvenor's way for the family's benefit.
Grosvenor glared at Wilson in dissatisfaction. If it were in the past, he would definitely teach Wilson a lesson. However, Wilson had grasped his Achilles' heel. Hugh Grosvenor was his only son, and he was not even ten years old. He whispered to Wilson, "This is the first time I've seen you become so shameless."
Wilson shrugged. He pointed at William and said to Grosvenor, "I learned this from him."
"Mm!" Grosvenor looked at William and said to Wilson with a smile, "Next time when you go out to play, remember to play some games that Hugh can play too. I'll let Hugh interact more with William, in case he still doesn't know what shamelessness is when he grows up."
"Forget it. What are we going to play with Hugh? Fishing, hunting, or karting?" Wilson looked at William, whose face had darkened, and chuckled. "If you let Hugh interact more with William, I guarantee that he'll be a playboy in the future. He'll have a bunch of girlfriends since he's ten years old. Maybe you'll have grandchildren before he's sixteen."
"Haha, that's not bad, actually. Don't you think so? Grosvenor. "Prince Char walked closer and laughed loudly." In case the Grosvenor family only has one heir. "
"That's right. I just think that Hugh is too naive and timid when he's in trouble. He's too well protected by me and his mother. Now that he's ten years old, it's time for him to learn things that he can't learn at home."
Grosvenor looked at Wilson. "Look at you. The last time we met, you didn't even dare to refute me. Now, not only do you dare to stop me, you even dare to play tricks on me."
"Alright, gentlemen, I'm here to talk business, not to listen to you talk about the problem of future generations." William said to Grosvenor with a darkened face. "If you can rest assured, I promise that I'll make Hugh Grosvenor a man. However, if you really hand him over to me, he won't be able to come home early unless his one-month training is over, no matter if he cries or is injured. I won't even let you know where he's been for the past month."
