The negotiation went on until 11 o 'clock at night. Before William could use any tricks, the people from the Bank of France actually took the initiative to ask William to stay in the manor after receiving a phone call so that it would be more convenient for the negotiation.
Although the manor in London was large, there were only 12 rooms that could be lived in. William didn't want outsiders to live in his house.
But with Pierre's abnormal behavior, William understood that there was an accident at the bank. In this case, it would be stupid to let go of the bank's negotiation team.
After thinking about it, he called the airline. More than 40 minutes later, five helicopters appeared over the manor. The two negotiation teams from the bank and Sony, who had been prepared, boarded the four helicopters in batches.
The helicopters took off and landed, which made the paparazzi and reporters waiting outside the manor confused. They didn't understand why there were so many helicopters in the manor at 12 o 'clock in the middle of the night.
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, the last helicopter carrying William took off and flew in the direction of Oxford. An interview helicopter rushed over and quickly followed behind William.
When they flew to Oxford, the reporters knew that William took the people from the Bank of France to avoid them and went to a more secluded castle to continue the negotiation.
As soon as the interview helicopter that had been following behind entered the 34,000 acres of land bought by William, a warning sounded in the pilot's headset.
It warned them that they had flown into private property. After three warnings, the castle had the right to carry out limited self-defense, and they would be responsible for any damage caused.
The reporters didn't take Sunday's warning seriously at all. It wasn't like they hadn't encountered such warnings before. Even if they did invade private property, they couldn't use weapons. The owner of the private property could at most drive them away with a helicopter.
But these people encountered William and Sunday this time. After three more warnings were ineffective, the interview helicopter's pilot and reporters suddenly found that within a few kilometers, more than a dozen high-power searchlights were shining straight into the sky. Then these light beams turned and aimed at them.
More than a dozen dazzling lights immediately enveloped the entire helicopter. Let alone taking pictures and looking at the ground and sky, they couldn't even open their eyes.
Fortunately, the pilot was experienced and immediately suspended the helicopter in the air with his experience. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the temperature in the helicopter slowly rose.
The whole aeroplane was frightened to death, and the pilot begged Sunday for mercy, and was directed to turn back to London.
He arranged for the bank negotiation team, who had just watched the show, to rest in the newly built four-star building in the castle. There were 24 suites of 70 square meters each.
On the other hand, Anthony and the leaders of the negotiation team went to the living room of the castle to see William.
As soon as they met, Anthony said happily, "Boss, it seems that the Bank of France has a big problem. When we were in the manor just now, we couldn't continue the negotiations and wanted to end today's negotiations.
Pierre's attitude had changed completely after that phone call. It seemed that their bank was in a very bad state, and that they might even have to sell the Château de Chantilly.
"Of course, this kind of opportunity doesn't come around all the time. I'd be a fool if I didn't bargain," William nodded with a smile. He didn't care about taking advantage of other people's difficulties.
There was no morality to be talked about with capitalists. If they were in his shoes, William believed that the people from the Bank of France would definitely make the same decision as him.
"The biggest weapon I can give you is probably that as long as the negotiation is done, the money will be paid in cash immediately. The rest is up to you guys. Guys, my bottom line now is $3.2 billion.
Below this line, you will get 15% of the profits. That means if the price is $3.1 billion, you will get an extra $15 million. Listen carefully, it's extra. So if you want to live a good life, start fighting. "
"Haha, no problem."
"Long live the boss."
The stimulation of the cash was very obvious. The next day, not only did the number of people in Yueshi not decrease, there were more than ten assistants. Both sides went back and forth for a few days.
The price also dropped from $5 billion to $3.9 billion, and the negotiation started again.
If the negotiation didn't work, then it would continue to drag on. Anyway, William wasn't in a hurry. After returning to the castle these few days, other than meeting with Yueshi's team every morning and night to understand the situation,
The rest of the time, William was either in the basement using a 3D virtual imager to draw the exterior blueprint of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, or dealing with the matters of the newly purchased 34,000 acres of land in the castle, or handling the trivial matters of the castle's newly built horse farm.
After dragging on for a few more days, even Black Phantom, who went out to sea for a week to look for the snake head, goat head, and eight tons of gold, returned to the castle in Devonshire. William then knew why the Bank of France was in such a hurry to sell the Chantilly Castle.
It was because one of the traders in the bank used the bank's reputation to speculate in futures. Not only did he lose a lot, but he also took advantage of the bank's poor supervision and falsely bought and sold short.
On Sunday, it was estimated that the Bank of France would lose at least $7 billion this time, and $7 billion was exactly the bank's profit for two years.
More importantly, if this matter was exposed, their bank's reputation would immediately hit rock bottom.
However, everyone understood that this matter could not be completely covered up, and it was only a matter of time before it was exposed. Their biggest hope now was to fill this hole first.
Therefore, the Bank of France was in such a hurry to talk to William about the Chantilly Castle and the antiques in the castle because of the $5 billion in cash that he had in the bank.
As long as they could get this money, their bank would not even need to issue new shares to survive.
This afternoon, William met Black Phantom who had returned. After putting away the two pieces of the snake head and goat head, they had not even chatted for a while when Pierre, the general manager of the Bank of France, knocked on the door and requested to talk to William in private.
"Is the thing I mentioned in the big tree?" William asked Pierre, who was standing straight, as he invited Pierre to sit down.
"Yes, sir, the thing is indeed in the big tree."
"Very good." William was in a good mood because he was about to get another eight tons of gold. "We'll talk later." He waved his hand and let Black Phantom leave first.
Black Phantom bowed and slowly left the room.
William walked to the side of the wine cabinet and asked Pierre, "What would you like to drink, Mr. Pierre?"
"Anything, it would be best if there is a good French red wine," Pierre said listlessly.
"How about the '90s Latour?"
This made Pierre, who was in a bad mood, cheer up. "Mr. Devonshire, do you really have a '90s Latour? This is a rare wine. "
"Haha, looks like you are also a wine lover." William snapped his fingers, and the hidden wine cabinet immediately sent a bottle of '90s Latour from the underground wine cellar.
William took out the bottle from the wine cabinet. He was very satisfied with this kind of hidden and anti-theft wine cabinet. In the future, no one would be able to get good wine directly from his wine cabinet.
