When he walked out of his mother's private room, the game had already ended for more than 20 minutes. He saw the guests from the Celestial Construction Group standing not far away and chatting.
William walked forward and greeted them with a smile, "Let's go, gentlemen. You are also the main characters today."
"No, no, Mr. Devonshire, this is Stamford Stadium. You are the main character, and we are all green leaves."
William laughed, "Haha, I hope this flower of mine is a crystal flower that will never wither."
Seeing how witty William was, and how familiar he was with the proverbs of the Great Celestial Empire, everyone laughed out loud. They couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
After chatting happily for more than 20 minutes, Anthony received a report from his subordinates and walked to William's side and whispered, "Boss, the post-match press conferences of the two teams have just ended. We can go over now."
"Okay," William nodded and said to the guests, "Then let's go, gentlemen. It's time for us to appear."
He brought the people from the Construction Group to the prepared press conference hall. As soon as they entered the hall, the reporters stood up and applauded William. These people wanted to interview him so badly that they were going crazy. Of course, they were excited to get this opportunity today.
And if the rumors outside were true, then tomorrow's newspapers would have something to write about. Big news was the God of the reporters.
After a long hubbub, when the late Duke Ximin walked into the conference hall, the reporters all cheered. Seeing Duke Ximin here meant that the rumors were true.
After a moment of politeness, William and Grosvenor shook hands and sat on the rostrum. Lawyers from both sides took out the prepared documents and placed them in front of William and Grosvenor. The two signed their names under the flashing lights.
After signing, the two stood up to exchange the contracts, shook hands, and smiled at the reporters for photos. After a few minutes, the two sat down. William patted the microphone and said, "Here, I would like to thank Duke Ximin. At the same time, I am honored to have reached a land exchange agreement with the Grosvenor Group.
I will invest £300 million, and it is estimated that it will take two years to build a brand-new modern stadium that can accommodate 60,000 people on the edge of the old stadium. At the same time, I will build a modern training ground covering 200 acres in Surrey, 50 minutes away from Stamford Bridge.
After the completion of the new stadium, the old one will be demolished. It is estimated that around 200 million pounds will be spent to build a residential area and the land will be given to the Grosvenor Group as compensation. "
As soon as William finished speaking, the reporters all raised their hands and shouted, "Mr Devonshire, Mr Devonshire."
Bang! Bang! Bang! William slapped the microphone and ignored the reporter's question. He continued, "In the end, these projects will all be handed over to a certain construction group in China for two years. Oh, by the way, there will also be a private museum of the Devonshire family worth 200 million pounds. The total value of the project is 700 million pounds. Thank you."
After saying that, William stood up and signed the contract with the construction company that was already prepared.
When the reporters asked questions, William only said why he chose the construction company in China to undertake these projects. When they learned that the budget price of the construction company in London and other countries was 40% higher than that in China, and the project time was twice as long, some of the people who were clamoring began to shut up.
After spending more than ten minutes answering some questions about the project, William and the Grand Duke of West Temple Min shook hands and said goodbye to the guests from China. Under the escort of Anthony and his men, he walked out of the hall. He still had someone to meet.
When he came to a small internal conference room, he asked Anthony and his men to wait outside. William knocked on the door and walked into the conference room. He saw Old Swagger walking around anxiously in the conference room, and the main character of this meeting, Bob Lee Swagger, was sitting quietly in a chair, looking helplessly at his father walking around.
"Hi, Old Swagger and Bob," William greeted the father and son with a smile and walked to Bob. "How many years has it been since we last met, Bob?"
Seeing William come in, Bob Lee Swagger quickly stood up, clasped his hands together and placed them flat in front of his waist. He looked at William nervously. He still couldn't believe that the little guy he helped when he was young had become a big shot in less than a year. "About seven years. I haven't been back to London since I went to America."
Old Swagger loved his son dearly. He didn't think that William would look for his childhood friend for no reason, so he quickly asked, "William, why are you looking for Bob?"
"Mr. Swagger, can you give me and Bob a few minutes?" William looked at the anxious Old Swagger with a smile and comforted him, "Don't worry, this isn't difficult for Bob, and I promise I won't force him to agree."
Seeing William's serious face and his promise that he wouldn't force Bob, Old Swagger looked at his son. When he saw Bob nod, he walked out of the meeting room helplessly.
"I'll be direct so that you don't have to guess," William walked to Bob and sat down. "Sit down, Bob. Like I just said, if you don't want to do it, I won't force you to do it."
Bob nodded, sat down, and waited for William to speak.
Taking out a pair of glasses, William gestured for Bob to put them on. As soon as he put on the sci-fi glasses, Bob's ears and eyes heard and saw sounds and images.
"Mr. Swagger, the person you saw is called Casova. He's the leader of the mafia in Sicily. Basically, he'll do any bad thing you can think of. Maybe he knows that he's done too many bad things.
So, wherever Casova goes, he has ten bodyguards following him 24 hours a day, which makes it difficult for us to get close to him. If you want, we hope you can help us get rid of him from a distance. "
After the voice finished speaking, the image in the glasses disappeared. William smiled and took the glasses that Bob handed over. "This mission is from the British Special Task Force. Their people came to you some time ago, but you refused.
They heard that I have some relationship with you, so they came to me to persuade you. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. I can guarantee that this guy named Casova is really a damn guy. "
Bob Lee Swagger thought about it and said, "If Casova is really what you said, I'll help you get rid of him. It's my responsibility as a British."
"Very well, you can call this number if you need anything," William gave Bob 007 Craig's phone number. After Bob memorized it and repeated it, William said, "When the mission is completed, the British Special Task Force will pay you 100,000 pounds. If you need anything in the future, you can also look for them or me."
Bob Lee Swagger didn't say anything. He just nodded.
"Okay, my mission is completed. Then, goodbye, Bob." William stood up and shook hands with Bob. Before he left, he said kindly, "The next time you meet someone who asks you to do a mission, remember what happened to you five years ago. Don't be silly anymore."
"Goodbye, Bob." William didn't wait for Bob Lee Swagger to ask any more questions. He opened the door and walked out of the conference room.
