Since the people from the Foundation were so smart, William didn't mind flattering them a little.
"Thank you to the operation team of the Foundation for not only having strong professional ethics, but also thinking of donors while adhering to the operation rules."
Looking at William, who rarely said good things and was full of smiles, the reporters and the people from the Foundation were waiting for him to say that he would donate more money in order to thank them.
But after waiting for a long time, what they got was heart-wrenching words.
If they wanted him to donate money, they had to have a purpose. He wouldn't do charity for no reason.
Thinking of the Americans' idea of the spaceship, William smiled.
It was impossible to privately control a country in this day and age.
But it was not difficult to control most of the country's infrastructure and affect the daily necessities such as water, electricity, gas, and gas for half of the people.
If he really did this, it was equivalent to indirectly tying himself to the lives of ordinary people.
It should be simple to have a limited influence on the people if they didn't care about the profits.
Not to say that they would follow you wholeheartedly, but the people would never want you to have an accident, lest the cost of living increases with a change of boss.
Having already won over the upper class of England, William would have pulled half of England's society onto the ship if he won over the ordinary people.
As for the kind of thing that the whole of England supported, he was not arrogant to that extent.
He apologized to the audience and explained that he had to contact his family about the transfer of money.
He picked up the live broadcast ball and threw it out of the cockpit. He contacted Lena in advance through Sunday and handed over some information.
Then he used the spaceship's communication equipment to contact Lena again, but seemed to have forgotten that the spaceship's communication was in a loudspeaker mode.
Every word was transmitted back to Blue Star by the live broadcast ball, and at this moment, Sunday seemed to be down and didn't remind him.
When the communication was connected, William laughed and repeated the commemorative gold coins, and finally said jokingly.
In addition to the first batch of gold to be made into special commemorative coins, the amount of gold needed to be controlled.
After that, the batch of gold shipped back from Mars would all be made into gold coins with the Olympus volcano and his face.
When there were 100 million Devonshire gold coins in the world, he would probably never be forgotten.
"You're crazy, William."
Hearing the 100 million gold coins, Lena finally understands that this call is an act.
He was still shocked. "One hundred million pieces? That's ten thousand tons of gold. Are you trying to completely destroy the Blue Planet's gold price?"
"How is that possible?" William shook his head. "It's not like I'm going to release the gold. If I leave it in the family vault, it won't affect the price of gold in the outside world.
And don't look at the 1,500 tons of gold I brought back from Mars every year. This amount of gold might not even be enough to cover the annual gold sales of the two major countries in Asia.
In addition, the consumption of gold for industrial products in the future would increase.
As long as I don't ship back thousands of tons a year, the price of gold won't fall in the long run. Instead, it might rise. "
After saying that, William explained as if he was afraid that Lena wouldn't believe him.
"Mom, believe it or not, as long as I announce that I've shipped back the gold, I'll leave behind a thousand tons to make ten million gold coins for myself. Tomorrow, the price of gold will immediately stop falling and rise."
"That's possible." Lena thought for a moment and said, "If you didn't act recklessly.
"Right now, there are many people in the outside world who want to buy gold to maintain their value."
"And even for our family, I think it's better to store gold than cash. After all, pounds and dollars are just paper and numbers.
Besides, I have more than 2 billion pounds in my account alone.
Your cash should add up to more than 20 billion, right? "
"Damn it."
"God."
Hearing Lena's words, the people watching TV all over the world couldn't help but curse. Then, they were so jealous that their heads hurt.
Damn Devonshire, even the bank can't make money as fast as you and your mother, and you actually said that money is just paper.
When the whole world was cursing, Lena followed William's script and said something that excited the English audience.
"William, the Devonshire family has been English for generations.
You are also a hereditary Grand Duke personally awarded by His Majesty Philip and witnessed by hundreds of celebrities.
While enjoying fame and the respect of the English, you should also do what you can for England.
Therefore, I suggest that you transport gold back to London in the future and pay taxes directly in gold.
The more gold you have at home and in England, the better it is to protect the value of the pound.
And the more stable and strong England is, the better it is for our family.
As for the money earned every year, there is no need to put it in the bank.
It can be invested in infrastructure that no one wants to invest in. Although these projects are profitable, they also retain their value.
It's just right for us who don't know where to spend the money. "
"Wait, Mother."
William interrupted his mother with a smile.
Even if they wanted to, they couldn't let people think that they were determined to get it.
Because he knew very well that a rushed transaction was not a transaction, but a fat sheep.
People were like that. If you helped them with good intentions, not only would they not appreciate it, but they would also think that there were some benefits that they didn't know about.
Otherwise, only a fool would do something that was thankless.
You have to let others beg you. You have to let them think that you were unwilling and forced to do it.
In the end, when things were done, they would feel that they were the ones who took advantage and not the other way around. Then, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
"I don't object to you saying that you want to give back to society, but these days, who would want to invest money in a basic industry that only earns 5% a year?"
William sighed and denied, "Don't forget, people are never satisfied.
Even if we are kind enough to take over England's already dilapidated infrastructure,
But how difficult are those guilds in England? Haven't the newspapers reported enough?
Those people won't care if your investment is seriously inconsistent with your output. Even if the company loses money, they will still clamor.
Since the Devonshire family is so rich, then what's a little loss? Just treat it as giving back to society.
I don't want to scheme against these people every day. With that time and energy, I might be able to earn more than ten times the money.
So, instead of giving back to society, it's better to donate money to vulnerable groups like women and children.
It's simple, worry-free, and safer. "
"This …" Lena couldn't help but hesitate.
But the topic she and William were talking about already involved the interests of two groups in England.
But other than the workers in the basic industry, most people in England agreed with William's words as long as they thought about it.
One was the workers in the basic industry who had no problem filling their stomachs, but only enough to support their families.
The other was the group of divorced, jobless, and orphans. In fact, there was no need to think about how to choose.
For a moment, most people in England were paying attention to what Lena would say.
In their opinion, no one was surprised that William would look down on a low-return industry like infrastructure.
But most people in England knew that Lena had struggled at the bottom of society for ten years with William's rise in the past two years.
But was the bottom of society as hard as a single mother?
So, people like Lena were perfect to be a good guy and pretend to be a good person.
