Chapter 363
Because William was driving some time ago, the db9 remodeled on Sunday made a big splash. In these days, the number of db9 orders that have not been released to the outside world has reached more than 1,300 at once.
This surprised everyone in the entire Aston Martin company, but problems followed.
Before being acquired by William, when Aston Martin was still a subsidiary of Ford, their sales volume was only a little over 10,000 in the entire decade of the 1990s.
Even in 1995, they only produced 700 cars, and even in 1999, when the economic situation was the best, they only sold 1,200 cars a year.
But now the db9 has not been officially launched yet, the 1,300 car owners who placed the order did not even know the price, so they placed the order, and depending on the situation, this number will increase greatly when it is officially released.
Skilled workers Aston Martin can be found in the car city of Gayton, where does the money to expand production capacity come from.
The biggest headache for Aston Martin's executives is that even if they want to borrow money, they can't get a loan, because no one can get a loan from the bank without the signature of the boss.
So these days, the general manager of Aston Martin called Yueshida office every day, hoping to meet with the boss and talk about the expansion of car production capacity.
Hence the meeting today at Aston Martin headquarters in London.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, driving the bd9 that had been overhauled on Sunday, William arrived at the destination on time. As soon as the car stopped, William's number one dog leg, Anthony, quickly stepped forward to help William open the car door.
When William got out of the car, Anthony made a special bow to meet the nobleman, "Good morning, His Royal Highness, I...".
"Stop, stop, stop, just call me the boss," interrupted Anthony, who was a bit over the top, and William looked at the current general manager of Aston Martin, Sean Wayans.
"Come on, good morning, boss"
Chapter 507 Even if Barkawi died, he was taken out and used
Sean Wayans suppressed his excitement and held William's outstretched hand, "I, I, I'm sorry, Mr. Devonhill, I'm a little too excited."
Sean Wayans took a few deep breaths, "Although we learned from the media that the db9 just produced by the company is in your hands, we guessed that the boss is you, but when I saw you in person today, I still felt a little unreal ".
"Haha, there's no doubt about it, let's go, are you ready for everything you have prepared?" William let go, and Sean Wayans immediately let go of his hand.
"Everything is ready, boss, two silver and rose gold high-end versions and a newly produced convertible version, a total of three cars are placed in the exhibition hall, and the reporters have also arrived, waiting for you to start the show ".
"Well, let's go."
"Okay, please follow me, boss" Sean Wayans walked William and Anthony and other lawyers into the exhibition hall.
Seeing William coming in, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time were all excited.
Everyone never thought that the person who bought Aston Martin a few months ago would be William. Many journalists with active minds quickly thought of the title of tomorrow's news.
The pearl of England's industry, Aston Martin is finally back in the arms of the English.
Ignoring the reporters who kept asking him loud questions along the way, he came to the rostrum under the escort of the security guards that Anthony had arranged long ago.
Pretentiously, he took the earphones that Anthony handed him and put them on, tidied up his clothes and walked up to the rostrum.
"Good morning, gentlemen, I'm William Devonhill, the new boss of Aston Martin. Today's topic is the press conference of Aston Martin's new supercar db9."
After speaking, he snapped his fingers, and the sound of Sunday came from the exhibition hall immediately, and a promotional video of db9 appeared on the big screen behind William.
All the reporters complained that William sat down after only saying a few words. He didn't have the consciousness of a celebrity at all, but seeing dozens of security guards standing in front of the stage and seeing the content in the video, he was quickly caught by db9's excellent The performance and the interior full of technology are attractive.
This car William added a lot of technology and technology that appeared in sports cars only a few years later, which greatly increased the appeal of the db9.
After the introduction of the parameters of the new car, it was soon time for the experience. The three cars in the exhibition hall soon became today's stars.
However, after being able to move around, many reporters still surrounded William, who was protected by dozens of security guards.
Knowing that if you don’t say anything today, these reporters will definitely talk nonsense tomorrow, so William took the initiative to talk about why he bought an Aston Martin and how much he paid for it.
Then told reporters he was going to invest £100 million to expand Aston Martin's production capacity, and then walked away escorted by security and Anthony's lawyers.
The next day, the media in England was full of news about his acquisition of Aston Martin and db9 as William hoped.
Those who are knowledgeable and interested in db9, after comparing the existing supercars of other companies, found that this 12-cylinder supercar basically surpasses any other supercar of the same level except for its high fuel consumption.
Accelerating from 100 kilometers in 41 seconds also makes this car temporarily ranked in the top three, and it crushes any other supercar in terms of comfort.
However, this price is very unpleasant. The low price is 210,000 and the top price is 290,000. Not only are other sports car companies ridiculed, but ordinary people also say that William is crazy about money.
However, it is very popular among the wealthy and young people. In just one week, orders from all over the world have exceeded 2,000, and the delivery time is fast.
It's been a year.
This makes many car owners who want to buy can't help but hesitate, but this is also a common problem of all manual supercars, but low production means that the collection value will be high.
Aston Martin only shifted its publicity focus to the 87-year history of the company. After the 80 sports cars produced were preserved intact and turned into collectible vehicles, orders suddenly increased.
After a busy few days, William got on a plane to the United States, and the destination was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Before he got on the plane, William knew that not only would he be honored by Benjamin Arthur, but also the Archbishop of Ethiopia. Smond.
However, the medals awarded by the two are different. William's is the Medal of Honor of the United States, while the Archbishop's is the Philadelphia Memorial Medal.
It took more than ten hours to get off the plane, get on the extended Rolls-Royce that came to pick him up from the Four Seasons Hotel, and rest for a night.
The next morning, he was picked up by the Secret Service of Lao Mei's chief barrel, and came to Philadelphia Square. After waiting for half an hour, he finally saw Benjamin Arthur, who had arrived late.
When he saw William Benjamin, he gave him a big hug, "Long time no see, William".
"Not too long, Mr. Chief Barrel, how are you doing recently?" William greeted Benjamin with a smile.
"Not too good, haha," Benjamin said with a smile, "Have you found any clues about Amir Barkawi?"
"Sorry," William shook his head, "Many of Barkawi's subordinates have been killed, but he himself seems to have disappeared completely, without any clues at all.
Either he is really dead, or he is hiding in that gutter like a mouse, probably he will not dare to come out again under your appointment."
"No," Benjamin shook his head and said solemnly, "The people from c1a received a tip a few days ago that Barkawi appeared in a hidden hotel in Colombia. We retrieved all the hairs that could be found in the rooms and sent them through Barkawi. The dna comparison of Kawi's son proves that Barkawi is indeed not dead.
It's a pity that the news took too long, and Barkawi escaped again."
"This, are you sure?"
"Of course, the dna comparison is absolutely correct," Benjamin affirmed.
"God, that old man is so crazy, how dare he still stay in Columbia?" William looked at Benjamin with a shocked face, but his heart was full of joy.
Of course, he asked Carlos to arrange these hairs. After Carlos took Barkawi's body away, William asked him to shave all of Barkawi's hair, and the body was frozen for the purpose of Let the old beauty think that Barkawi is not dead.
When he received a notice from Lao Mei a week ago to ask William to come to the United States to award honors and talk about the cost of saving Benjamin, he asked Carlos to use Barkawi's hair to make an illusion.
After so many calculations, it finally pays off now.
Seeing Benjamin hesitate for a few seconds, he said seriously, "We must find Amir Barkawi as soon as possible, otherwise no one knows how he will take revenge on us with his whole family dead,
William, I have a son, you have a mother, you must be the same as me, you don't want the person we love the most to be hurt."
"Of course," William nodded seriously, "what do I need to do?"
