Sean Vance held back his excitement and shook William's hand. "I, I, I'm sorry, Mr. Devonshire, I'm a little too excited."
Sean Vance took a few deep breaths. "Although we heard from the media that the company's newly produced DB9 is in your hands, we guessed that you were the boss. But when I saw you in person today, I still feel that it's not real."
"Haha, what's there to doubt? Let's go. Are you ready?" William loosened his grip and Sean Vance immediately let go of his hand.
"Everything is ready, Boss. Two silver cars, one rose gold, and the other newly produced convertible. A total of three cars are placed in the exhibition hall. The reporters have also arrived. We're just waiting for you to start the show."
"Okay, let's go."
"Okay, please follow me, boss." Sean Vance led William, Anthony, and the other lawyers into the exhibition hall.
When they saw William come in, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time were all excited.
No one expected that the person who bought Aston Martin a few months ago would be William. Many quick-witted reporters quickly thought of the headlines for tomorrow's news.
The pearl of England's industrial industry, Aston Martin, finally returned to the English people.
Ignoring the reporters who kept asking him questions along the way, he was escorted to the rostrum by the security guards arranged by Anthony.
He pretended to take the headphones that Anthony handed to him and put them on. He tidied his clothes and walked to the rostrum.
"Good morning, gentlemen. I'm William Devonshire, the new boss of Aston Martin. Today's theme is the launch of Aston Martin's new supercar, the DB9."
After that, he snapped his fingers and the sound of Sunday immediately came out of the exhibition hall. The DB9 promotional video appeared on the big screen behind William.
All the reporters complained that William only said a few words and sat down. He didn't have the awareness of a celebrity at all. But when they saw dozens of security guards standing in front of the stage and the content of the video, they were quickly attracted by the DB9's excellent performance and high-tech interior.
William had added a lot of technology that would only appear in sports cars a few years later. This made the DB9 even more attractive.
After the introduction of the parameters of the new cars, it was time to test them. The three cars in the exhibition hall quickly became the stars of the day.
However, after many reporters were able to move, they still surrounded William, who was protected by dozens of security guards.
Knowing that if he didn't say anything today, the reporters would definitely spread rumors tomorrow. Therefore, William took the initiative to explain why he bought the Aston Martin and how much he spent on it.
He then told the reporters that he would invest 100 million pounds to expand Aston Martin's production capacity before leaving under the escort of the security guards and Anthony's lawyers.
The next day, as William had hoped, all the media in England were talking about his acquisition of Aston Martin and DB9.
People who were interested in the DB9 found that this 12-cylinder supercar, except for its high fuel consumption, was better than any other supercar of the same level in all other aspects.
Its acceleration of 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds also put it in the top three for the time being. In terms of comfort, it crushed all other supercars.
However, the price was not very flattering. The price of the low-end model was 210,000 pounds while the price of the top-end model was 290,000 pounds. Not only did other sports car companies ridicule it, but ordinary people also said that William was crazy about money.
However, it was very popular among the rich and young people. In just a week, more than 2,000 cars were ordered around the world. The delivery time was almost a year later.
This made many car owners who wanted to buy the DB9 hesitate. However, this was a common problem with all handmade supercars. Low production meant high collection value.
Aston Martin only focused on the company's 87 years of history. After 80% of the sports cars produced were preserved and turned into collectible cars, the orders suddenly increased.
After a few busy days, William boarded a plane to the United States. His destination was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Before he boarded the plane, William found out that not only would he be honored by Benjamin Arthur, but also by Archbishop Desmond of Ethelbia.
However, the medals they received were different. William received the United States Medal of Honor while the archbishop received the Philadelphia Memorial Medal.
It took him more than ten hours to get off the plane. He sat in the Rolls-Royce that was picked up by the Four Seasons Hotel and rested for the night.
The next morning, he was picked up by the American Special Task Force and arrived at the Philadelphia Plaza. After waiting for half an hour, he finally saw Benjamin Arthur, who was late.
As soon as he saw William, Benjamin gave him a big hug. "Long time no see, William."
"Not long, Mr. Barrel. How are you doing recently?" William smiled and greeted Benjamin.
"Not so good, haha." Benjamin laughed and said in a low voice, "Have you found any clues about Amir Bakavi?"
"I'm sorry." William shook his head. "Many of Bakavi's men were killed, but he seems to have disappeared completely. There are no clues at all.
Either he's really dead, or he's hiding in the gutter like a rat. He probably won't dare to come out again during your term. "
"No." Benjamin shook his head and said seriously, "The people from C1A received a tip-off a few days ago that Bakavi appeared in a hidden hotel in Colombia. We found all the hair that we could find in all the rooms. After comparing the DNA of Bakavi's son, we confirmed that Bakavi is indeed not dead.
Unfortunately, the news took too long to spread and Bakavi escaped. "
"This, are you sure?"
"Of course, the DNA comparison is absolutely correct," Benjamin said with certainty.
"God, that old man is crazy. He actually dares to stay in Colombia?" William looked at Benjamin in shock, but he was overjoyed.
Of course, he had asked Carlos of the Cross to arrange the hair. After Carlos had taken away Barkavi's corpse, William had asked him to shave off all of Barkavi's hair and freeze the corpse. This was to make the Americans think that Barkavi was still alive.
A week ago, when he received a notice from the Americans to ask William to come to the United States to discuss the cost of saving Benjamin, he asked Carlos to use Bakavi's hair to create an illusion.
After scheming for so long, he finally got his reward.
Benjamin hesitated for a few seconds and said seriously, "We have to find Amir Bakavi as soon as possible. Otherwise, no one knows how he will take revenge on us when his whole family is dead.
William, I have a son and you have a mother. I'm sure you don't want the people we love the most to be hurt like me. "
"Of course." William nodded seriously. "What do you need me to do?"
"I'll give you the 500 million USD that I promised you, but I hope you can increase the bounty on Bakavi."
"100 million USD isn't enough?"
