Football Giants

At night, London's West End, Notting Hill in the northwest corner of Hyde Park.

The newly opened Wangjiang Pavilion No. 4 shop is brightly lit.

On both sides of the not-so-wide road outside the gate, all kinds of luxury cars were parked.

One of the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the luxury bus of Saint Southampton, who just won the championship at Wembley Stadium.

There are constant gentlemen in suits, holding elegant female companions, and stepping into Wangjiang Pavilion, attracting a group of dozens of reporters who are stationed outside the gate of Wangjiang Pavilion to take crazy photos.

All those who appeared here tonight were famous British political and business celebrities.

They all had just watched the Southampton reversal of Manchester United at Wembley Stadium and received an invitation to attend the Southampton celebration banquet at the No. 4 Wangjiang Pavilion.

"congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Yang Huan!"

"Good job, saint, congratulations on winning the championship!"

Every guest who walked into the gate of Wangjiang Pavilion smiled and shook hands with Yang Huan.

A team that was able to defeat the Premier League champion Manchester United with the third level of the league and won the FA Cup.

This honor has never been seen in the history of English football for more than 100 years!

For this honor, they are worthy of all praise!

"Thank you, Chairman Bernstein, sit inside!"

"Mr. Yang Huan, we are very much looking forward to seeing you Southampton return to the Premier League. Come on!"

"Thank you, Mr. Scudmore!"

"Howard, you have to greet Mr. Scudmore for me!"

"Definitely, don't worry, Master Huan!"

Yang Huan smiled and greeted the top leaders of the British football industry, including the Chairman of the Football Association, David Bernstein, the CEO of the Premier League, Skudmoore, the Chairman of the Coaching Union, Howard Wilkinson, and the Chairman of the Players Union. Go in.

Football is very popular in the social circles of the upper class in the UK. Even discussing football is a topic most popular among political and business celebrities. So Bernstein, Wilkinson and other highly respected authorities in the football circle are in the upper class. Still very popular.

Even Prince William and his wife treated them with respect.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yang Huan!"

As soon as the front foot greeted the guests, someone came in immediately on the back foot.

It was the gray-haired London Mayor Boris Johnson, accompanied by Terry Matthews, the future mayor of Southampton, walked into the door of Wangjiang Pavilion No. 3 Store.

"Thank you, Mayor Johnson!" Yang Huan greeted him with a smile.

Although Yang Huan’s impression of Boris Johnson was not very good, the mayor of London had said a few words that made the Chinese people feel uncomfortable when he was running for the election.

But after all, it was for the votes, and now people are taking the initiative to get close.

There was a saying from the ancestors, not to hit the smiley people.

Forget it, as long as he doesn't say it again in the future!

"Mr. Yang Huan, Terry and I have already understood what happened this time. Don't worry, we have already done it. Terry Adams and his gang, we will not let them go!" Boris Johnson Seriously promised.

Although he is only the mayor, he, the mayor and the Conservative Party behind him, is quite capable now.

There has always been news that Boris Johnson will be the prime minister of the United Kingdom in the future.

Terry Matthews also said on the side: "We have enough evidence to prosecute them. The first offender, Terry Adams, will have to stay in jail for at least 20 or 30 years!"

Yang Huan was fairly satisfied with the result.

When this kind of thing happened, he still considered how to strengthen the security measures for himself and those around him.

It seemed that Long Wuduo had to recruit a few masters to help out.

"By the way, I heard Terry say that Mr. Yang Huan is interested in buying a house in London?" Boris Johnson asked with a sudden smile.

Yang Huan was taken aback, just at this moment when he saw Kesh Harris walking in with a stranger, and he nodded towards Yang Huan from a distance, indicating that he had time to have a good talk, so he took this opportunity to think about it. With this sentence.

"Yes!" Yang Huan decided to confess, he believed Terry Matthews.

"According to our preliminary estimates, Wangjiang Pavilion will at least open three or four branches in London. Currently, there are only two. Moreover, prices in London are now very low. Many people want to buy properties in London."

The most typical is the previous large consortium from the Middle East, which almost bought the entire Street of Knights in one go.

It can only be said that the group of Middle Easterners is really rich.

"If Mr. Yang Huan is interested, then I suggest as soon as possible." Boris Johnson said with a smile.

Yang Huan also smiled slightly, "Please speak."

Boris Johnson looked around and made sure that no one could hear him, and then he moved a little closer. "At present, London has been discussing a 7% purchase stamp duty on properties over £2 million in 2013. , And the levy of capital gains tax on foreigners since 2015."

After Yang Huan listened, he was a little bit stunned and didn't react for a while.

2013 and 2015, but now it is only 2011!

Why as soon as possible?

But Boris Johnson didn't say much, and after a few more polite words with Yang Huan, he walked into the lobby.

"Old Sun, you and Nikolai are here to receive guests!"

Sun Yue and Nicolas Cortes immediately walked to the gate to welcome the guests.

Yang Huan felt that Boris Johnson's words were a bit strange, "Fifth, go, call me Zhao Yuanfang!"

Soon, Zhao Yuanfang came.

Yang Huan repeated what Boris Johnson had just said.

"Yuanfang, what do you think?" Yang Huan asked.

Zhao Yuanfang was overjoyed immediately, "Master Huan, this is an excellent opportunity."

"What do you mean?"

"You think, once London announces that it will levy purchase stamp duty and capital gains tax, what will real estate investors do?"

Yang Huan understood, "What you mean is, they will be the first to shoot!"

"Yes, once the news comes out, investors from all over the world will swarm in. London's house prices will surely soar in a short period of time. All investors will rush to start before the policy is introduced, especially in the heart of London."

Yang Huan listened silently, this aspect is not his strong point.

"London’s rental rate of return is the highest among all major cities in the world, especially in the core areas. After tax deduction, it is as high as 5%, or even as high as 6%. In our country, the capital and Longhai are the highest. Two percent."

With Zhao Yuanfang's calculation, Yang Huan really understood.

Dare to buy the bottom right now, even if you don't take advantage of the appreciation, it is quite good to stay in your hands to collect rent.

"The whole world thinks that the group of oil tycoons in the Middle East are stupid and quick to come, but in my opinion, they are the smartest in the world!" Yang Huan really admires this group of people in the Middle East.

Oil has its limits, especially with the revolutionary progress of shale gas and other energy sources, in the long run, oil will gradually be replaced.

Therefore, the rich in the Middle East are now taking out the money earned from oil and investing in other fields, such as media, real estate, tourism, etc. These are investment projects with very long-term value.

"Who said no?" Zhao Yuanfang also smiled, "Which rich man is stupid?"

Even Abramovich bought his property in London, let alone other people.

Besides, people who are rich don't understand, don't they still hire people?

"Boris Johnson told me this news. It was clear that he wanted to retaliate and pay me back!" Yang Huan swept forward. Boris Johnson, who was bragging with Prince William and his wife in the lobby, seemed to have something. Induction, turning around, nodded at Yang Huan with a slight smile.

"Such a good opportunity, if you don't make money, you don't make money. Anyway, Kesh Harris wants me to take a loan!

Zhao Yuanfang heard it and knew that it was time to show his loyalty.

The most important thing for Young Master Huan was the ability of his subordinates. I didn't see that Sun Yue's **** was always criticized, but he was the favorite of Young Master Huan, relying on his ability to do things.

"I'm going to make preparations tomorrow!"

Yang Huan nodded, "You can handle this kind of thing!"

"understand!"

"By the way, tell my dad the news by the way, it's cheaper for him!"

Zhao Yuanfang knew that this was an opportunity for him to make a comeback, so excitedly agreed to go.

Yang Huan just stood up, and another person greeted him immediately.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan."

This person has sharp edges and corners, is not small, and looks very powerful.

"Hello, who are you?" Yang Huan didn't know him.

"I'm the senior vice president of Adidas Football Division, Marcus Bowman!" As he said, he also presented a very delicately designed business card with both hands.

"Adidas?" Yang Huan took the business card and understood in his heart.

Dare to love this is to send money to your door.

"Hello, Mr. Bowman!" He immediately smiled and stretched out his hand.

When people send money, they can't be too far away, right?

"Mr. Huan Yang, first of all, on behalf of the company, I congratulate Southampton on winning the FA Cup. This is a very, very remarkable honor. At the same time, we are also very optimistic about the future development of Southampton, especially next season."

After a pause, Marcus Bowman said with great confidence: "We believe that Southampton will not only return to the Premier League, but also hope to make a difference in the European arena."

"Thank you!" Yang Huan answered with a faint smile.

After Marcus Bowman finished speaking, he went directly to the topic.

"We understand that the contract signed between Southampton and Umbro will soon expire, and we very much hope to be able to cooperate with an excellent team like Southampton."

Yang Huan smiled and nodded, "Of course, we are also very happy to have the opportunity to cooperate with Adidas."

But soon, he changed the subject, "But I really want to know, how does your company hope to cooperate?"

Including Nike, Adidas, Puma, Umbro and other jersey sponsors, they have had contact with Southampton before, but they have always been suppressed by Yang Huan, because at that time Southampton did not have enough voice.

But now the situation is completely different.

An FA Cup winner may not explain much, nor can it make everyone confident in the future of Southampton.

However, Southampton will participate in the Europa League next season!

Judging from the current situation, once you cooperate with Adidas, the contract cannot be signed once a year, at least for more than three years, so the amount of sponsorship has become the focus of Yang Huan's most concern.

Of course, Southampton has some additional conditions.

"We are willing to mention another 60% on the basis of the contract between the Saints and Umbro for five years!" Marcus Bowman said.

Sixty percent, which means that ~www.readwn.com~Adidas' bid is 8 million pounds.

This money is counted, it really can't be considered low.

If it is placed in the Premier League, it is the level of the middle team.

But Yang Huan shook his head and smiled, "Mr. Bowman, let's find a chance to discuss this matter. Tonight is our celebration party. You must not get drunk and have no return!"

After speaking, Yang Huan didn't talk to him, turned around and left with a smile.

Kesh Harris has been waiting for him from a distance.

Marcus Bowman understood what Yang Huan meant. He was very dissatisfied with the price and didn't even want to talk about it.

A team that has just been promoted to the British Championship can't even look down on the eight million pounds of shirt sponsorship?

He really didn't know whether it should be said that this world is too crazy or Yang Huan's appetite is too big!

But when he looked at Yang Huan’s back, he immediately noticed ()
