Billionaire in Kingsman with a Marvel System

Dali took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Devonshire. Besides Turkmenistan, the polar bear, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan all have Akhal-Teke horse farms, and the scale is not small. Turkmenistan now has about 2000 horses. You know it's hard to buy horses, but it's different with the polar bear, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. These countries have about 1000 horses. They have also been working hard to breed Akhal-Tekes in recent years, but the scale seems to be decreasing. There are too few buyers for Akhal-Tekes, making it difficult for them to operate. If they know you want to buy such a large batch of Akhal-Tekes, they will definitely be overjoyed and might even sell you breeding horses."

"Hehe, I don't care about the money, but I don't want to be a fool either. Consider buying the horses as a test for you. If you can satisfy me, it's not impossible for you to manage the horse farm. Understand?"

"Of course, Mr. Devonshire. We can't guarantee other things, but we promise to do our best in anything related to horses," Dali quickly assured. He knew that the horse farm was the main deal. If they could establish a cooperative relationship with William's horse farm, the profit would not be just a one-time thing but would last for years or even decades.

William didn't pay much attention to Dali's assurance. "As long as the horses are good, I'll pay in full, and your commission will be 10%. I'll have a professional horse appraiser to inspect them, and a professional accountant will accompany you during the transaction. How much you earn depends on whether you can find horses that satisfy me. Any questions, Dali?"

Hearing William mention the commission, the excited Dali immediately calmed down. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Devonshire, if you want to buy ordinary Akhal-Tekes, I can accept the 10% commission by gritting my teeth. Because for ordinary Akhal-Tekes, I just need to pick them from the big horse farms, and transporting them back to England doesn't require a transfer specialist to take care of them one-on-one. Using a ship is fine. Although I won't make much money, I won't lose money either. But the level of horses you want in the catalog, a 10% commission is definitely not enough. Professional care and feeding along the way, plus using special planes and cars to transport the horses to England, will cost a lot. Not to mention the golden mare and the chestnut horse you fancy. Buying them is not just about money but also about connections. I think a 25% commission is appropriate, sir."

Damn profiteer. Mention money and he gets excited. But William knew that good horses were a scarce resource. Without connections, you wouldn't find sellers even if you had money. Moreover, the better the horse, the less likely it is to be underpriced. If the price is not right, the horse farm will not sell to you.

After thinking for a while, William knew that leaving no profit margin was impossible. Only a fool would work for free. "15% for those in the catalog and 20% for better ones, Dali. I'm buying dozens of horses here. You'd better think about how to find Akhal-Tekes of the same quality as in the catalog. If you fail, you won't have a part in the horse farm's construction and future cooperation."

William's words choked Dali, but he had to do it no matter how difficult it was. If he didn't give his all now, the horse farm would indeed have nothing to do with them.

Dali pondered, thinking of playing with the time difference, buying in the original places of Akhal-Tekes simultaneously. Maybe he could buy dozens of top-quality Akhal-Tekes in one go. With some effort, buying over a hundred wasn't impossible. After all, the price of Akhal-Tekes was not high now. Most people in the horse industry only cared about those that had won championships in Europe and America and their offspring. The horses sold in the original places were not the best, so there were few buyers, and the market situation was not good.

But then Dali realized that if William bought all the good horses from the original places this year, wouldn't he be able to monopolize three to four percent of the top Akhal-Tekes on the market? Was William's real purpose this?

Dali calculated the profits and suddenly wanted to ditch William and do it himself. But this thought didn't stay in his mind for long before he shook his head. He wasn't a big tycoon like William. Losing tens of millions of pounds wouldn't hurt him. Horse farms weren't fools and wouldn't sell all their horses to one person. Even if he bought all the good horses this year, there would be good horses next year. Complete monopoly was impossible. Plus, raising horses cost more than buying them. If he spent tens of millions of pounds on Akhal-Tekes and didn't produce results, he would be doomed. Besides William, a die-hard Akhal-Teke fan, who else would spend so much money on horses that didn't perform well in short-distance races?

After figuring it out, Dali decided to act as William's second-hand dealer. If he succeeded in this business, he could earn two to three million pounds, which was equivalent to his profit for several months. Not to mention the future construction of William's horse farm. If this business could satisfy William, he might hand over the management of his horse farm to their company, and the money-making time would be calculated in years.

William didn't care if Dali would compete with him for Akhal-Tekes. If someone competed with him, he would spend more time. It wasn't necessary to buy dozens of them.

"Mr. Dali, I hope this purchase will be low-key and simultaneous. I don't want to be ruthlessly slaughtered. If the price of Akhal-Tekes soars, I will terminate the transaction."

Hearing William's request, Dali quickly nodded, "Of course, Mr. Devonshire. We are a professional horse company. It's our responsibility to think for our customers. I just calculated. Excluding those already on the track, there are about 40 to 50 registered top Akhal-Tekes for sale now. My plan is to buy them directly at the registered price. About 10 million pounds can buy about 30 horses. After all, your main purpose for buying horses is not to race but to breed, so you don't need to buy so many stallions. We can buy the rest as mares. We will use the time difference to finalize the deal before the market reacts. Once these mares are bought, we can only wait for the next batch of foals to grow up. If you can lower your requirements, buying 200 horses is possible."

William knew it was impossible to buy all the good horses at once. If he did, the price of Akhal-Tekes would immediately skyrocket. He was rich but didn't want to be a fool. After buying these, he could slowly buy more good horses.

"Buy this batch of horses first. As for future horses, I want to see the market and if the horses you provide meet my expectations. Dali, you can contact my private lawyer, Anthony. He will draft the contract for me to sign," William said, giving Dali Anthony's phone number. He also called Anthony to inform him of the requirements for buying horses and asked him to send someone to monitor the prices with Dali's company.

After the call, William signed a check for 2.2 million pounds to Dali. These five Akhal-Tekes were now his.

Dali took the check with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Devonshire. We can deliver these five horses to you the day after tomorrow morning. As for the horse purchase, I promise to make you satisfied. We'll go see Lawyer Anthony now. Goodbye, Mr. Devonshire."

"Goodbye, Dali," William said, sending Dali and his team out of the castle gate.
