Billionaire in Kingsman with a Marvel System

The moment William saw the horse in the photo, he couldn't take his eyes off it. It was the dark chestnut horse he had always wanted.

He knew from research that only dark chestnut or bay horses would give the illusion of "bleeding" when they sweat, as the color of their coat becomes more vivid. So, William had always wanted a dark chestnut Akhal-Teke horse as his mount.

The description stated that this horse was taller and more robust than other Akhal-Teke horses. While Akhal-Teke horses typically stood around 1.52 meters at the shoulder, this one was listed as 1.56 meters, which made William a bit skeptical. "Dali, is this horse truly a purebred Akhal-Teke?"

Seeing William's expression, Dali felt a surge of joy. He knew William would like this dark chestnut horse. He was confident that anyone who saw this Akhal-Teke would like it. He wouldn't have brought out the first golden mare and this dark chestnut horse if it wasn't to win over such a wealthy client like William.

In response to William's question, Dali confidently said, "Mr. Devonshire, I assure you that this horse is a purebred Akhal-Teke. Its pedigree is very clear. We have complete genealogical records proving it is as pure as can be."

Dali's joke made everyone laugh. William, delighted, said, "I like this horse, dark chestnut, the best color." Closing the catalog, he thought for a moment and then said, "Great, I'll take all of these."

Hearing that the deal was made, Dali felt a rush of excitement. His intention was to spark William's interest in racing. Although the horses he brought didn't have outstanding race track performances, they were all very beautiful, making them perfect riding horses for a beginner like William.

Having been in the horse business for many years, Dali knew that newcomers often judged horses by their looks rather than their speed. Once they had a good-looking and powerful horse, it wouldn't be long before they started longing for the honor of winning races and dreaming of owning a champion horse. Given William's wealth, buying a champion horse wouldn't be a problem. However, the price of a champion horse was not the same as these ones.

To lure William into the expensive world of horse racing, Dali had brought out the golden Akhal-Teke as a gift. Excluding transportation, feeding, and labor costs, he made no profit on the golden horse, only a bit on the dark chestnut Akhal-Teke. They had bought it in Turkmenistan for £550,000, and after three months of testing and training, they were selling it for £780,000, just enough to break even.

However, if Dali knew William's real intentions, he might be disappointed. William had no plans to buy English thoroughbreds. This purchase was influenced by his Chinese heritage and memories. 

Feeling a bit let down that he couldn't buy top-tier horses, William sat on the sofa, deep in thought. Perhaps he should buy dozens of high-quality horses and breed them himself. Even if he didn't produce top-tier horses, he could brag about having hundreds of Akhal-Teke horses in the future.

Imagining showing off his castle and hundreds of Akhal-Teke horses to surpass any rich person gave him great pleasure. If he could get lucky and produce a champion horse, it would be even better.

While William was calculating, Dali, with a cheerful smile, said, "Mr. Devonshire, we will deliver these two horses to your estate tomorrow morning. It is an honor to serve you, Mr. Devonshire. If you have any needs regarding horses, please feel free to contact me directly. We guarantee to solve any issues for you."

Just as Dali finished speaking, William suddenly burst into laughter, leaving Dali puzzled and looking at him in confusion. 

After holding back his laughter, William said, "Sorry, my mistake, Mr. Dali. What I meant was, I want to buy all five Akhal-Teke horses in this catalog. In the future, please notify me first if you get any good Akhal-Teke horses. I want to keep dozens, if not hundreds, of Akhal-Teke horses in my estate. I plan to buy the surrounding 3,000 acres of land to build a breeding farm for Akhal-Teke horses. To me, Akhal-Teke horses are the most beautiful horses in the world."

"My God, you're really going to build a horse farm?" Dali exclaimed, then fell into a state of euphoria. This news was an unexpected delight. Building a professional horse farm capable of housing dozens or hundreds of horses wasn't something that could be settled with just a few million pounds. This was a significant business opportunity. If William entrusted all these matters to their company, Dali's company would not only make a substantial profit but also gain significant prestige. This kind of business only came around once in several years or even decades.

"Yes, building an Akhal-Teke horse farm is a recent decision. I want top-tier Akhal-Teke horses. If I can't buy them, I'll breed them myself. I refuse to believe that by buying dozens or hundreds of high-quality horses, I can't produce a top-tier Akhal-Teke. As long as it can be solved with money, it's a minor issue for me. I will use money to make this happen. Mr. Dali, I hope you can help me achieve this dream. The standard for buying horses must not be lower than the ones in this catalog, so the only worry is whether you can help me buy dozens of top-quality Akhal-Teke horses. If you can get the best Akhal-Teke horses, the price is not an issue."

Dali didn't dare to dream about top-tier horses, but buying one hundred high-quality Akhal-Teke horses? He didn't need to think long to know it would cost at least £30 million. His only concern was whether he could find that many good horses. But compared to building a horse farm, buying horses was a small business.

Dali's hands trembled with excitement as he decided to seize this opportunity. If they signed a contract for the horse farm, Dali Equestrian wouldn't need to worry about anything else this year. This single deal would keep them busy for one or two years, with guaranteed profits and no concerns about William defaulting on payments.

"No problem, Mr. Devonshire. I will definitely help you achieve your dream. You can rest assured that we have decades-long cooperative relationships with several countries and horse farms that produce Akhal-Teke horses. I guarantee that the authorities won't obstruct this transaction. I will personally fly to Turkmenistan today and send my subordinates to Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan to select horses for you. We will also provide you with various design plans for horse farms for your reference. If you agree, we can handle anything related to the horse farm, yes, anything," Dali said, almost incoherently by the end.

William didn't mind Dali's excitement. Anyone would be like this if there was a lot of money to be made. He was more concerned about breeding stallions and good mares. "Calm down, Dali. As long as you can meet my requirements, I won't consider other equestrian companies for now. But do Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan also have Akhal-Teke horses?"
