After hanging up the phone, Wilson called again in less than ten seconds. As soon as the call was connected, he complained, "God, can't you wait for me to finish?"
"Then say it quickly, I'm going to take a nap later."
"Buddy, you're really brave. You're being scolded by the whole of France and you still have the mood to take a nap," Wilson sighed and continued, "My grandfather asked me to ask you when we're going to hand over the shares of England Electricity and Bulletproof Supplies."
"Let's talk about it when I'm ready," William said perfunctorily.
"Hey, buddy, you're not going back on your word, are you?" Wilson asked anxiously. Recently, the share price of England Electricity had been falling slowly.
Especially after the unexpected death of James, some foreign companies were worried about accidents and stopped or slowed down their investment in England. At this time, the Wilson family was worried that William would go back on his word.
"Go back on my word? Of course not. Don't worry, when I buy a shell company that can be listed, we'll exchange shares, "William said with a smile.
"Damn it, don't cheat my family. In order to buy England Electricity, my family fund's cash is almost used up," Wilson said with a slightly pleading tone, "Buddy, you can't only think about yourself and not help your allies when they're in trouble. We're doing this for you."
"Okay, okay, when I'm done with the Desert Tycoon's goods, we'll exchange."
"God, I'm such an idiot," Wilson said regretfully, "I knew it, I'm such a fool. I shouldn't have reminded you about the Desert Tycoon. Even if you sell 100 sets first, it'll still be 500 million pounds in sales."
Wilson blamed William for being unrighteous for a long time, but how could William let go of the profits that could be seen and touched?
In the end, Wilson said helplessly, "Let's exchange first. At most, our agreement stipulates that I'll only officially join the board of directors and receive dividends after a month."
"Okay, then you and Grand Duke Grosvenor will go to Moonstone Agency tomorrow. Oh right, I have to remind you that in our contract, the patents and manufacturing technology for bulletproof vests and explosive detection watches are not in the hands of the new company, but mine alone. Is that okay?"
"I know, but I also have to remind you, William, the sales of these things can only be in the hands of the new company in the future. No one else or company can sell these products," Wilson had to emphasize again.
"Hehe, no problem. See you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, he sat at the dining table and pondered silently. He decided to call Catherine and Garris to inform them.
Previously, he had promised Catherine and Garris that he would give them a chance to acquire 1% of the shares for every 100 units sold.
So, William asked Sunday, "How many bulletproof suits have Catherine and Garris sold so far?"
"Sir, Miss Catherine sold nearly 100 sets last month. As of today, she has sold a total of 186 sets. Gary sold a total of 94 sets."
"Alright, Garris only sold half of Catherine's shares. Call them and tell them to go to Moonrise tomorrow to discuss the shares." William despised Garris in his heart.
At 8: 50 am the next day, Anthony, who had received a notice to return to London, personally picked up William from the parking lot and brought him to the prepared meeting room.
After entering the meeting room, William took out a device the size of a cigarette box from his pocket and opened it on the table. He smiled at King Philip, Grosvenor, Catherine, and Garris, who were shaking their heads.
"It's never wrong to be careful. I made this myself. As long as it's activated, all eavesdropping devices within a radius of 10 meters will not work. If you like it, I'll get someone to send a few to you."
Philip and the other three looked at William in annoyance. It wasn't like they didn't have this kind of thing on the market. It wasn't worth owing William a favor for something that could be bought. "Alright, let's begin."
After saying that, he waved his hand and dismissed everyone else.
After the lawyer and his subordinates left, Philip complained, "Why didn't you come to me if you wanted the land? Are my assets any worse than Grosvenor's?"
"Hmm?" William looked at the silent Grosvenor. "You didn't tell His Majesty the reason?"
Grosvenor shrugged and took out a document from the bag in front of him. He threw it to William. "This is the ownership of the 30,000 acres of land. As long as you sign it, the land will be yours."
He then took out another document and handed it to William. "This is the remaining 4,000 acres of land. Take it as a gift from me to thank you for agreeing to exchange shares at a time like this.
From now on, the area around your castle that is 13 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide will be yours. Congratulations, as long as you sign it, you will be the person who owns the most land in England. "
"Hmm? That's fast. "William quickly put on his glasses and ordered Sunday to scan the contract in his hand. After scanning it for a minute, Sunday replied that there was no problem.
"God, I thought I'd have to wait until the end of this year to be able to buy all of it. It's only been a few days and you've already done it?"
"This is all thanks to the unexpected death of our Mr. James, hehe." Grosvenor looked at Catherine mockingly.
Everyone present knew that James' death wasn't an accident. It was caused by Valentine, and Catherine couldn't get away with it.
Seeing that Catherine didn't respond, Grosvenor pursed his lips. "The land price has dropped by 6% compared to last month. Many people in traditional farming areas have lost confidence in the land, or rather, they've lost any source of capital and can't support it.
It's easy to exchange land or buy it with cash. I've also bought some land in England and the surrounding areas like you. I hope I won't regret this decision in the future. "
"Hmm." Philip, Catherine, and Garris's eyes flickered as they listened to Grosvenor. They felt that they had to buy some land when they got back.
"Hehe, I'm confident that it'll increase by two or three times in ten years." William smiled and signed his name on the document. "Alright, let's talk about the exchange of shares."
Hearing that William went straight to the point, Philip and the other three's expressions became serious.
"Don't be so serious. I'm here, so there's no possibility of changing my mind." William looked at Philip and Grosvenor with a smile. "Our previous agreement was 13% of the new company's shares in exchange for 20% of England Electricity, right?"
Philip and Grosvenor nodded. This was something they had discussed long ago, so there was no doubt about it.
"Alright, Wilson has told me about your conditions. Grosvenor and I both agree that we'll formally announce the rights and dividends in a month's time. Sign it."
Philip looked at William with disdain. "I really don't know where you learned this from. You're so calculative about everything. If it weren't for your trustworthiness and you didn't go back on your words when England Electricity's share price plummeted, I wouldn't want to deal with you anymore."
"Ha." Being blamed, William's expression didn't change. "You're talking as if I'm taking advantage of you. You said it yourself that England Electricity's share price plummeted. If I don't find some profits from other places and recoup my losses, I'll really be a fool."
