Chapter 508 Even if Barkawi Is Dead, He Will Be Used
Shawn Wayans suppressed his excitement and held William's hand, "I, I, sorry, Mr. Devonshire, I'm a little too excited."
Shawn Wayans took a few deep breaths, "Although we learned from the media that the company's newly produced DB9 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, what's there to doubt about this, let's go, are you ready for everything you are asked to prepare?" William's hand loosened, and Shawn 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 are all here, waiting for you to start."
"Well, let's go."
"Okay, please follow me, BOSS" Shawn Wayans approached the exhibition hall with William, Anthony and other lawyers.
When they saw William coming in, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time were all excited.
No one had expected that the person who bought Aston Martin a few months ago would be William. Many quick-witted reporters quickly came up with the headlines for tomorrow's news.
Aston Martin, the pearl of England's industry, has finally returned to the embrace of the English.
He ignored the reporters who kept asking him questions loudly along the way, and came to the side of the rostrum under the escort of the security guards that Anthony had arranged long ago.
He pretended to take the headphones that Anthony handed him and put them on, tidied his clothes and walked onto the rostrum.
"Good morning, gentlemen, I am William Devonshire, the new boss of Aston Martin. Today's theme is the launch of Aston Martin's new supercar DB9."
After saying that, he snapped his fingers, and the sound of Sunday immediately came out of the exhibition hall, and a promotional video of DB9 also appeared on the big screen behind William.
All the reporters complained that William sat down after only saying a few words, and he had no awareness of being 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 excellent performance and technological interior of DB9.
William added a lot of technology and science that only appeared in sports cars a few years later, which greatly increased the appeal of DB9.
After the parameters of the new car were introduced, it was soon time to experience it. For a while, the three cars in the exhibition hall quickly became the stars of the day.
However, after being able to move around, many reporters still surrounded William, who was protected by dozens of security guards.
Knowing that if he didn't say something today, these reporters would definitely talk nonsense tomorrow, so William took the initiative to tell the reporters why he bought Aston Martin and how much he spent on it.
Then he told the reporters that he would invest 100 million pounds to expand the production capacity of Aston Martin, and then he left under the escort of security guards and Anthony's lawyers.
The next day, the media all over England were full of news about his acquisition of Aston Martin and DB9, as William hoped.
Those who are knowledgeable and interested in DB9 found that this 12-cylinder supercar, except for the high fuel consumption, basically surpassed any supercar of the same level in other aspects after comparing it with other existing supercars of other companies.
The acceleration of 4.1 seconds from 0 to 100 kilometers also temporarily ranked this car in the top three, and it crushed any other supercar in terms of comfort.
However, the price is not very pleasing. The low-end version is priced at 210,000 pounds and the top version is priced at 290,000 pounds. Not only is it ridiculed by other sports car companies, but ordinary people also say that William is crazy about money.
But it is very popular among the rich and young circles. In just one week, the orders from all over the world exceeded 2,000, and the delivery time is almost scheduled for a year later.
This made many car owners who wanted to buy hesitate, but this is also a common problem of all handmade supercars, but low production means that the collection value will be very high.
Aston Martin only shifted the focus of publicity to the 87-year history of the company. After 80% of the sports cars produced were preserved intact and became collectible vehicles, the orders suddenly increased again.
After a few busy days, William boarded a plane to the United States, with the destination being Philadelphia, Binzhou. Before boarding the plane, William knew that this time not only would he be awarded by Benjamin Arthur, but also by an Ethiopian Archbishop Desmond.
However, the medals awarded to the two were different. William's was the Medal of Honor of the United States, while the Archbishop's was the Philadelphia Memorial Medal.
It took more than ten hours to get off the plane, and he took the extended Rolls-Royce that came to pick him up at the Four Seasons Hotel and rested for a night.
The next morning, he was picked up by the American Secret Service and came to Philadelphia Square. 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. General, how have you been recently?" William smiled and greeted Benjamin.
"Not very good, haha," Benjamin smiled and whispered, "Have you found any clues about Amir Barkawi?"
"Sorry," William shook his head, "Barkawi's men were killed, but he himself seemed to have completely disappeared, and there was no clue at all.
Either he is really dead, or he is hiding in the gutter like a rat. He probably dare not run out again during your tenure."
"No," Benjamin shook his head and said seriously, "C1A received a tip a few days ago that Barkawi appeared in a secluded hotel in Colombia. We found all the hairs in the room and compared them with the DNA of Barkawi's son, proving that Barkawi is indeed not dead.
There is no mistake in the content of the first post. Check it out in the 6-9 book forum!
Unfortunately, the message took too long to pass, and Barkawi escaped again."
"Are you sure about this?"
"Of course, the DNA comparison is absolutely correct," Benjamin said with certainty.
"God, that old man is really crazy, he dares to stay in Colombia? "William looked at Benjamin with a shocked expression, but he was actually very happy.
Of course, he asked Carlos the Cross to arrange these hairs. After Carlos took away Barkawi's body, William asked him to shave all of Barkawi's hair and freeze the body, just to make the Americans think that Barkawi was not dead.
A week ago, when he received a notice from the Americans asking William to come to the United States to award the medal and discuss the cost of saving Benjamin, he asked Carlos to use Barkawi's hair to create an illusion.
After so many calculations, it finally paid off.
Benjamin hesitated for a few seconds and said seriously, "We must find Amir Barkawi as soon as possible, otherwise no one knows how he will retaliate against us crazily when his whole family is dead.
William, I have a son and you have a mother. You must not want our loved ones to be hurt, just like me."
"Of course," William nodded seriously, "What do you need me to do?"
"I will give you the full reward of 500 million US dollars promised to you before, but I hope you can increase the reward for Barkawi."
"Is 100 million US dollars not enough? ”
