Upon hearing Kellner Bacon's words, William understood that a 1 million pound watch-type detector was indeed too extravagant and ostentatious for the officials.
Even Kellner, the head of the company, had to think twice about it. Those politicians with lower status than him definitely wouldn't dare to buy it.
It was impossible to reduce the price. After all, the detector was the only one in the world. If the sales couldn't be opened, then it would be customized according to the customer's needs. Anyway, there was a Sunday, so the cost wouldn't be much higher.
"Thank you, it seems that I should listen to the customer's suggestions more, so that I won't always stay in the lab and build a car behind closed doors. Although the things I invent are useful, I don't find the right market position."
"Haha, it's good that it's helpful to you," Kellner said happily. "Maybe you can consider setting up a factory in France. We can set up some preferential policies for this kind of high-tech product."
William smiled and shook his head. "I'll have to think about it, but I'm honored to be invited by you personally." He looked at his watch again. "Sorry, Kellner, I really have to go. See you at the church later."
"Okay, see you later," Kellner nodded.
After personally sending off William, Kellner's personal assistant Kevin walked to his side and whispered, "Boss, you don't have to lower yourself to rope in William Devonshire."
This made Kellner unhappy. He felt helpless that Kevin, his personal assistant and chief of staff, was only good at publicity and didn't know anything about economics.
He explained in a low voice, "You have to understand that if I don't try so hard to rope him in, he's already dissatisfied with the Bank of France.
Maybe this bank, which has been established for hundreds of years and is ranked third in assets in France, will really go bankrupt. Then what will I use to save them? How will I save them?
Now, I just have to say some nice words to calm him down and make friends with him. What's there to be afraid of?
And don't forget, even if I can stay in this position for two terms, I'll only be 59 years old when I retire. Who knows what will happen in the future. Besides, what if William really invests a lot of money in France? "
Kevin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Okay, since you're thinking about what will happen nine years later, then William Devonshire with great potential is indeed worth roping in."
.....
After leaving the dock, William returned to his car and drove to the Platinum Khan Palace.
It took seven to eight minutes for William's car to enter the Platinum Khan Palace after two checks and another check outside the palace gate.
After parking the car, he saw many lobster soldiers wearing red woolen clothes and tall hats lining up from afar.
The butler who came to pick up William saw that he was interested in the lobster soldiers, so he explained, "The royal family will hold a farewell ceremony for James alone at 9: 30. Madam Agnes of Germany will accompany His Majesty to watch it. If you are interested, you can watch it together."
Looking at his watch, it was already 9: 05. He tried to recall the memories in his mind, but he realized that there was no scene of Philip participating in the ceremony.
After a few seconds, William decided to take care of Philip first. If the situation permitted, he would save Agnes. "Let's go. Take me to King Philip."
"Yes, sir." The butler nodded and opened the box in his hand. He took out a golden work pass and said, "Mr. Devonshire, this is the work pass that His Majesty has specially prepared for you."
A golden work pass? William took a look at it curiously. There was a picture of him on it. The information bar showed that he was a special consultant of the royal secret service team, and a consultant with a monarch's title.
"Consultant? When did I have a monarch's title, and I even became a major? "
"Mr. Devonshire, this identity is just an honor. It is to make it convenient for you to accompany His Majesty today. It has nothing to do with active duty," the butler explained with a smile.
"The royal secret service team's scope of authority is only around the Platinum Khan Palace and His Majesty Philip. They are only responsible for protecting the royal family. They don't have to be responsible to anyone else."
"But I don't remember when I agreed to join the secret service team." William stared at the butler unhappily.
"Please don't mind, sir. This is a helpless action." The butler smiled as usual. "It's just the identity of Zero. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to find a suitable identity and reason to keep you by His Majesty Philip's side."
Without waiting for William to get angry, the butler quickly said, "After today, you can continue to keep this identity or withdraw directly. I guarantee that you won't have any trouble."
Hearing this, William suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. "That's more like it. However, I can't guarantee that I won't get back my face from Wilson."
"Haha, you can do whatever you want. I think His Majesty and Prince Charles won't mind." The old butler laughed. "Mr. Devonshire, as an old friend of your grandfather, Henry Devonshire, who has known you for decades, please remember that regardless of whether you have a sense of belonging to the nobles or not, your birth has already determined that you and we are on the same side.
If you don't want to accept the identity of a noble, then reject it early. Otherwise, it won't be good for anyone if you drag it out. "
After saying that, he gestured for William to follow him.
These words stunned William. He was indeed too indecisive about whether he wanted the title of a noble or not. Since he didn't want his mother to be sad, inheriting the title of a count was already an established fact. He really shouldn't be half-hearted.
Thinking about it carefully, the reason he resisted the identity of a noble was probably because of the mischief in his soul. Since he couldn't go back to the Celestial Empire, there was no need to waver.
Anyway, he didn't have to worry about money and he didn't want to walk in the direction of power. There was nothing wrong with being a super rich noble.
Thinking of this, William hung the identity card in his hand on the left breast pocket of his shirt and walked quickly to catch up with the old butler. However, unexpectedly, the butler didn't bring him inside. Instead, they walked towards the main entrance near the main street.
This made many people who came to the iron fence outside the palace early in the morning to wait quickly recognize him.
Hearing people shouting his name outside the iron fence, William couldn't help but smile and wave his hand. When he saw many older people waving at him, he even deliberately patted his left chest and nodded in return.
This polite gesture made the people staring at him feel comfortable. At the same time, they also noticed the golden identity card hanging on his shirt.
The long live broadcast immediately focused on the identity card, and the image was then transmitted to the televisions of all households in England.
This surprised everyone. William actually became a royal consultant without saying a word. The host in the broadcast room quickly received the information and explained to everyone that this position could only be obtained by a noble who was trusted by the royal family.
Then, without waiting for William to walk through the main entrance, because he didn't button up when he waved his hand, his shirt lifted, and the handle of the gun under his armpit was frozen by the flash of the camera.
Everyone who saw this had a strange expression on their faces. They couldn't help but have an ominous feeling in their hearts.
Who was William? He was a super-rich man with a net worth of more than 20 billion or even 30 billion US dollars. Was it really necessary for someone of his status to carry a gun in this kind of situation?
