"10% for 20%? That's impossible, "Grosvenor immediately rejected William's offer," Let's not talk about whether your new company is worth 5 billion pounds. Although England Power has been rising and falling recently, according to the current stock price, its market value is about 5 billion dollars. If converted to pounds, it's 3.5 billion pounds. We're at a disadvantage if we convert it to 1: 2. "
Just as William was thinking about bargaining, he suddenly heard Grosvenor say, "You were the one who bought England Power some time ago, right, William?"
"Hmm?" The other three looked at William in surprise. Although they didn't have any power, it was necessary for them to pay attention to the people's livelihood. They didn't expect that England Power, which wasn't valued by the market, would become William's target.
Grosvenor suggested, "I think 13% for 10% is a fair price."
William thought about the shares of England Power in his hands. He had obtained 40% shares from Old Smith at the Caesar Hotel in Las Vegas. In addition to the 8% he had secretly bought during this period, he had to buy another 19% shares.
Only then would the shares in his hands exceed the threshold of absolute control of 67%. If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many scattered shares in the market now, William wouldn't have asked someone to exchange shares. "10% for 15%. That's the limit."
"If you can get 20% of England Power's shares, I'll add 0.5% as a reward."
"In other words, 13% of the new company's shares for 20% of England Power."
"Then we'll exchange shares according to this ratio," Philip said.
"Wise choice," William gave him a thumbs up. "On Sunday, introduce the new product to His Majesty. We have to let our business partners understand that they're not at a disadvantage."
"Yes, sir." The schematic and structural diagram of the new suit appeared in the 3D holographic projection.
"Gentlemen, although the bulletproof effect of the new bulletproof suit hasn't been enhanced, cushioning materials have been added. In the future, even if you're hit by an AK or other firearms, you won't suffer any fractures.
At the same time, a mini air-conditioning system has been added to the suit. On the back, arms, waist, and trousers, there's a patch air-conditioning system that's only the size of a cigarette box. It can maintain a hot and cold temperature cycle for five hours.
In the future, even if the weather is 20 degrees below zero, customers only need to wear a thin coat, a suit, and a shirt. Of course, when the wind is strong, it is recommended to wear a hat and gloves. "
"Alright, that's enough." With a snap of his fingers, the virtual beam of light that shot out from the phone immediately disappeared. William took the phone back from the coffee table and put it into his pocket under the reluctant gazes of Philip and the others.
"The new product can be released at any time, so if you want to join us, hurry up."
"No problem," Philip chuckled.
Now that they were done with the business, all that was left was to chat and drink. At ten o 'clock at night, William stood up and bid farewell. Wilson sent William off and immediately returned to the private room.
As soon as he entered the private room, he heard Grosvenor's voice. "A company that hasn't been established yet is valued at five billion pounds. Even if the new company has good prospects, it will take several years for it to reach five billion pounds."
Philip ignored Grosvenor's doubts and took a sip of whiskey. "If you don't think it's suitable, you don't have to exchange shares. William in Devonshire is buying England's power company. You can still ride on his ship with the power company shares."
Grosvenor was speechless. Of course, he understood this. However, he also understood that if he dared to do so, William would not only ignore him in the future, but would also treat him as a rival. It was not a good thing to be targeted by a super money-maker, especially when his company's main business was in the real estate industry, which could be easily attacked.
Seeing that Grosvenor was silent, Philip stared at the whiskey in his glass and said faintly, "I don't need to teach you the principle that you have to pay first if you want to get something. Right now, we are the ones begging William. We want to follow him to make money, big money.
You have to let him see your usefulness first. Today's discussion was just a ticket to get on the boat. If you want to take advantage of him, he'll have to beg you. "
After finishing the whiskey in his glass, Philip put down his glass and stood up. He said to Prince Charles, "I remember that the Royal Fund has some shares in England's power company. Don't touch these shares. Go to the person in charge of the fund and ask him to use his connections. Whether it's buying or exchanging shares from other companies, I want to see 10% of England's power company shares in three days."
"Understood, Father." Charles nodded.
Philip turned to look at Grosvenor. "You'll be in charge of the rest. Is that okay?"
Grosvenor thought for a long time before reluctantly agreeing. "No problem."
After sending off Philip and his sons, Grosvenor sat in the private room and drank. He felt that he had suffered a great loss from the five billion pound valuation. However, when he thought of the full-screen phone that was more advanced than any other phone on the market and the holographic projection technology that Wilson had mentioned, he couldn't help but feel tempted.
Grosvenor's heart itched, and he couldn't help but light a cigarette. After taking a big puff, he stood up and paced around in annoyance. "That bastard William definitely did that on purpose. Damn it, he drew an even bigger pie to tempt me. If you want to eat meat, you have to pay first!"
Although he was unwilling, when he thought of what that old fox Philip had said before leaving that the Royal Fund's power company shares would not be touched, Grosvenor understood that Philip was waiting for him to make a choice. If he didn't follow suit, Philip might have been happier. "What is the reason that old fox Philip values William so much that he would support him regardless of the financial gains and losses?"
This question had been bothering Duke Grosvenor the whole night. Even though he was very tired, the moment he closed his eyes, the sci-fi holographic projection and the phone would appear in his mind, and his heart would be on fire.
On the way back to Buckingham Palace, Philip closed his eyes and thought about his cooperation with William a few months ago. That time, he and Grand Duke Devin had taken the trump card that they had obtained from William and found the Archbishop of London of the Church.
When he thought of the Archbishop's cold sweat and panic when he saw the evidence, Philip felt great. After that time, not only did he take back a lot of power from the Church, he also tore off a large piece of fat from the Church.
Philip, who had worked with William before and had benefited greatly from it, had seen the full-screen phone and holographic projection technology in William's hands this time. Without much consideration, he made up his mind to use all means to get the chance to board the ship.
When he thought about how the Royal Family's wealth on the surface was not as much as the Grosvenor Family's, Philip felt very unhappy.
Now that there was an opportunity for him to accumulate a large amount of wealth openly, Philip would not let it go no matter what. William, who could help him make money, was now more and more pleasing to the eye.
Opening his eyes, Philip looked at Prince Charles who was sitting beside him and asked, "How is the Earl of Oxford now?"
"Very bad," Charles looked at his son Wilson and said in a low voice, "He might not last a few months."
"A few months?" Philip closed his eyes and muttered, "A few months is too long."
