William went to the wine cabinet and asked Pierre, "What would you like to drink, Mr. Pierre?"

"Whatever, it would be best if there is good French red wine," Pierre said listlessly.

"What about the 90's Latour?"

These words cheered up Pierre, who was in a terrible mood, "Mr. Devinhill, you really have 90-year-old Latour? This is a good wine at the collection level."

"Haha, it seems that you are also a lover of red wine," William snapped his fingers, and the hidden wine cabinet immediately automatically delivered a bottle of 90-year-old Latour from the underground wine cellar.

Taking out the wine bottle from the wine cabinet, William is very satisfied with this hidden and anti-theft wine cabinet, and no one can directly search for good wine from his wine cabinet in the future.

Chapter 461. Four hundred sixty-one

William opened the red wine with a wine opener, poured half a bottle into the decanter, took two glasses and the decanter, walked to Pierre and sat down on the sofa.

He smiled and said, "You are an expert, how about this wine?"

"No problem." Pierre took the decanter and looked at the light. "The color looks very good, but unfortunately the opening time is too short. If you want to really taste the wine, you have to wait for a while."

"It's okay, we have time." William knew that the red wine was sober. During the wait, the two chatted about the interesting things about Chantilly Castle.

Ten minutes later, it was not time to sober up. Pierre, who couldn't wait, swallowed and couldn't resist the temptation of good wine. He picked up the decanter and poured himself some red wine, took a few sips slowly, his face showing With an intoxicated expression, he said, "It is indeed the best vintage wine. Every time you drink it, you can feel different feelings, thank you."

"You're welcome, if you like it, I'll give you a box when you leave," William laughed.

"Thank you." Shaking his head, Pierre regretted, "Next time, I dare not accept the expensive gift from you before this transaction. If we are found out, we will all be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, William realized that it was true that Pierre could not be given valuables during the transaction between the two parties, "Well, next time at Chantilly Castle, I will treat you to a 82-year-old Latour."

"Haha, it's settled," William said, making Pierre very happy and relieved, "Mr. Devinhill, with your contacts, you may already know what happened to our bank.

So I'll just say something directly," Pierre put down his wine glass and said with a serious expression, "We need your financial help to overcome the most serious crisis of trust that the Bank of France has encountered since its establishment for a hundred years."

"It's okay if you want me to help you, but what can I get?" William said calmly,

It is impossible to ask him to help in vain, and even if William is willing to do this, the people at the Bank of France may wonder whether he has ulterior motives in doing so.

Pierre clenched his fists involuntarily, thought for a moment and said, "We will sell Chantilly Castle to you for 35 billion US dollars."

"NO, NO, Pierre, I can help you, but that doesn't mean I will lose my own interests and help you in vain,

We all know in our hearts how much Chantilly Castle is worth, and I need real benefits, or to put it bluntly," William said with two fingers.

"I understand," Pierre nodded helplessly. Now they are begging William, not William begging them. There are still people in the world who can afford Chantilly Castle, but they will be interested in Chantilly Castle , and only William made the offer.

And they also want to use William's reputation to offset the negative news as much as possible, "So if you can agree to our quotation for the castle, we will issue you a 5% stake in the Bank of France at a fixed point, and what you need to pay is only 15 billion dollars".

"Hey, so you have already regarded the 50 billion dollars I deposited in your bank as meat in your mouth?"

Pierre spread his hands and shrugged, "You know, any possible funds are the most precious in our eyes. Whoever dares to give up will be fired by the board of directors the next day."

15 billion to take 5% of the shares, William calculated in his mind, so Pierre and the others set the valuation of the Bank of France at a low price of 300 billion U.S. dollars, which is half of their current market value of 700 billion U.S. dollars more.

It seems that the situation is more severe than imagined, but in a blink of an eye, during this stock market crash, all banks have had a hard time, and now they have lost one-tenth of the market value of cash. If it is not handled properly, the Bank of France may even go bankrupt. risk.

Otherwise, even if the news of the bank’s loss of 70 billion yuan broke out and the stock price plummeted, no one would directly slash the market value by half and seek help from others.

But this is a good thing for William, "Can I enter the board of directors?"

"Of course," Pierre nodded hurriedly, "Personally holding 5% of the shares is already the fourth largest shareholder of our bank, and of course has the right to join the board of directors.

And we also welcome you to join us, your record in the stock market is exactly what we need."

"Very well, I will seriously consider this matter."

Being able to enter the board of directors will ensure William's position in the bank and give him the opportunity to reach into the bank.

At his stage, money is no longer his top priority, but status and prestige are.

This is also a conspiracy used by the Bank of France. They know that William is not short of money, but his background.

The only pity is that it may take a long time to get back the money, but William, who only has $15 billion in cash, is not on his mind, and it is not impossible to make the stock price rise.

"OK, happy cooperation", this kind of thing doesn't need much thought, William only thought for a dozen seconds before agreeing.

"Thank you," Pierre stood up excitedly, holding William's hand tightly, "Thank you very much, Mr. Devinhill."

"Don't be too happy, Pierre, it's up to you whether the French authorities will allow you to sell Chantilly Castle," William said calmly.

"But now that a decision has been made, I will authorize you to use the 50 billion US dollars, but there is a premise that if the official finally rejects the transaction of the castle, then the 50 billion US dollars will be converted into 18% of your bank's shares to compensate my loss".

"This, this," Pierre hesitated after hearing this, "God, your appetite is really big."

After bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Pierre shook his head regretfully and said, "Give you 18% of the shares, not to mention that the bank's board of directors will not agree. I think the government would rather sell you the whole castle than approve this agreement."

"Then what if I can help you solve some of your losses?"

Thinking of Amir Barkawi who is calculating these days, William still has confidence in helping the Bank of France to make some money from the stock market.

He didn't play in person because Amir Barkawi put the location of the attack in London. William wanted to live comfortably in England. This kind of national calamity cannot be earned. Once earned, it will be settled afterwards. The day of trouble is certainly not far away.

But things always have a solution. The stock price of the Bank of France will plummet because they lost money in the stock market. As long as they can make a large amount of money back, the market value will not only return to the peak of 700 billion, but [-] to [-] billion can still be guaranteed. of.

As long as he can buy shares in the bank at the price of 300 billion US dollars, covering the market value of the bank will help William make money for himself, and it is legitimate and legal.

So William smiled and said, "I dare not say anything else, I am confident that I can help you recover at least half of your losses in the stock market."

"what?"
