"Haha, Miss Huang, Young Master Huan didn't praise you in front of me."
In one of the conference rooms of the seven-star undersea hotel in Southampton, Prime Minister Hamad, who had come to the United Kingdom from Qatar, shook hands with Huang Ying, who had specially traveled south from London, with a smile.
While Huang Ying was polite to Prime Minister Hamad, a pair of wonderful eyes swept towards Yang Huan next to her, her eyes seemed to be dripping, not to mention how moved she was.
It's a shame that she misunderstood just now, thinking that Young Master Huan just wanted to pull her over to try the bed, who knows......
Norman Forster was also smiling from ear to ear, he wanted to see his apprentice make a name for himself in the world of architecture, and he would be honored to be a master with him.
"That's right, Lord Foster, Miss Wong."
As soon as everyone was seated, Prime Minister Hamad's secretary stood up and briefed everyone on the whole thing.
"Not long ago, Saudi Arabia announced that it would build a Kingdom Tower, which would be the tallest building in the world, 1,600 meters high, twice the size of Dubai's Burj Khalifa."
Everyone present had heard of this incident, but they were only amazed that the Middle Eastern tycoons were rich.
"After careful consideration, we plan to build the world's tallest building in Doha as well, and the budget or anything is not a problem, but the height must be more than the Kingdom Tower, preferably more than two kilometers."
Huang Ying and Norman Foster, you look at me, I look at you, they are a little crying and laughing.
That's too capricious, isn't it?
Saudi Arabia is just going to build a 1,600-meter building, and it's only planned, and it hasn't started yet, so you can't wait to build the world's tallest building that surpasses them?
But both knew in their hearts that this was something that any designer could only dream of.
Whoever designed the world's tallest building will become famous in the world of architecture!
Prime Minister Hamad looked at Yang Huan, "Miss Huang, Master Huan is full of praise for you, and he told me very confidently that in a few years, you will definitely become a world-famous architect." ”
When Huang Ying heard this, she couldn't help but look at Yang Huan again, her eyes covered with a thick layer of mist.
"We also looked at the pitch and the architecture designed by your firm and were very satisfied, and I came to this underwater hotel today and visited the sea course in Southampton, which was very fantastic and amazing."
"So, this time, we decided to invite you to design this building for us!"
When Huang Ying heard this, her eyes widened suddenly, and she couldn't believe it.
This is a building that can easily cost billions, or even tens of billions, and I will design it?
Prime Minister Hamad laughed, "We believe in Young Master Huan's vision, and I also believe that you have this ability!" ”
That being said, everyone knows that Young Master Huan's recommendation is the most important thing.
Otherwise, there will be more capable designers in the world, and the temptation to design the world's tallest building will be thrown out, which one will not rush to her, and it will be her turn to be a young designer who is just a budding designer?
Yang Huan felt Huang Ying's grateful eyes, and his heart was very disappointed.
In fact, he didn't say much, just praised a few words casually, and recommended it to Prime Minister Hamad, and said that he planned to hand over the entire banana island project that had been renamed Crescent Bay to Huang Ying to design.
As a result, Prime Minister Hamad decided to invite Huang Ying to design it first and give her a year.
In other words, as long as Huang Ying can come up with a design that satisfies them within this year, then she will be able to win the project, and if she is not satisfied within a year, then they will consider inviting other architects to bid.
Of course, inviting Huang Ying to design costs money.
"Okay, Prime Minister Hamad, these things will be handed over to his subordinates!"
Yang Huan stood up with a smile, "Our guests have come, let's go talk about serious things!" ”
No laughing matter?
Huang Ying and the others all smiled wryly, daring to love In the eyes of the two bigwigs, building the world's tallest building is not a serious matter!
Prime Minister Hamad also stood up with a smile, instructed the secretary and the team a few words, and walked out of the conference room.
Before Yang Huan left, when he passed by Huang Ying's side, he was very eyebrow-raising.
"Remember, we're going to have to try that bed tonight!"
Huang Ying's face was flushed, but she couldn't think of refusal, so she nodded in agreement.
A group of people walked out of the conference room and down the winding undersea tunnel.
There is an underwater world everywhere, and even from time to time you can see the thrilling scene of a big fish hitting the glass on the bottom of the sea, which is very exciting, and even Prime Minister Hamad is full of praise.
Not long after, a group of people walked into another conference room.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that there were quite a few people in the room.
Kesh Harris and Pini Zahawi both met Prime Minister Hamad when he was in Doha.
Among the others, the bald head is the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy.
Sitting next to Levy is Tottenham Hotspur's behind-the-scenes boss Lewis, and Tottenham Hotspur's core executives.
Accompanying the last seat was a very handsome blonde girl, and after Yang Huan's introduction, Prime Minister Hamad found out that it was the number one football legend in England, Charlene Lahri.
"Hello, Honorable Prime Minister Hamad!" Lewis and Daniel Levy were very respectful and polite.
"Hello, I heard Young Master Huan mention the two of you, and it's a pleasure to meet you!"
After a group of people exchanged pleasantries, they immediately sat down as the host and guest.
In fact, before today's meeting, everyone had already passed each other's anger.
From the day Lewis bought Tottenham Hotspur, he has been looking for a buyer.
Therefore, for ENIC, there is no so-called question of whether to sell or not, but whether the other party can offer a price that makes them happy and satisfied.
After several previous encounters with Kesh Harris and Pini Zahavi, they both felt the deep pockets of the Middle East consortium and the strong interest in Tottenham Hotspur.
It's not a fuss either.
Tottenham Hotspur is located in the north of London, not to mention that this is the birthplace of the great riots in London, but because of this, the city of London and the British government attach great importance to the development of this area, so the potential is very large.
Moreover, ENIC has already drummed up a Northumberland development plan, which has received strong support from district councils to city councils to the UK government, which is also a very attractive plan for the Qatari consortium.
Because of this plan, the income is greater than the large purchase of shops near Knightsbridge in London to collect rent.
In this case, the willingness of both parties to complete the transaction is considerable.
The only controversy is over two points, one is the price of the acquisition, and how the equity will be distributed after the completion of the acquisition.
Yang Huan brought Gary Cahill, Moutinho, Eriksen, Malkovic, Rojo and Emre Can into Tottenham Hotspur, and according to the previous VAM agreement between the two parties, Yang Huan's shareholding should be around 35%.
If Tottenham Hotspur can finish in the top four of the league, the stake could be even higher.
According to the original three-legged situation, Daniel Levy's shareholding will also be reduced to about 7%.
All remaining shares belong to Lewis.
Because Yang Huan and Daniel Levy are not considering selling their shares, what the Qatari consortium wants to buy now is the shares in Lewis's hands.
"Prime Minister Hamad, this is a plan that we have given after research and discussion."
Daniel Levy, representing Tottenham Hotspur, was the first to propose a takeover proposal to the Qatari consortium responsible for the acquisition.
Prime Minister Hamad took the document from the little bald man, opened it, and read it line by line very seriously.
When he saw one of them, he was a little surprised, and immediately glanced at Yang Huan who was sitting beside him.
The latter smiled slightly and nodded, indicating that he approved of this plan.
According to the plan proposed by Tottenham Hotspur, after the completion of the acquisition, Yang Huan's stake will be reduced to 30 percent, and Daniel Levy's stake will be reduced to 5 percent.
That is, the Qatari consortium will hold 65 percent of the shares, fully controlling Tottenham Hotspur.
But Yang Huan's request was that he must have a spot on the board.
Daniel Levy has also asked to be on the board of directors and intends to remain at the club.
Their request is simple: immediately after the takeover, the Qatari consortium will invest £100 million in Tottenham Hotspur's operating funds, and no matter how much they invest in Tottenham Hotspur in the future, they will not cut their shareholdings.
Of course, Daniel Levy has also made substantial commitments, even if the Qatari consortium does not invest in the takeover, he is confident that Tottenham Hotspur will continue to maintain a healthy financial situation, but he is not sure that he will be able to finish in the top four of the league.
Prime Minister Hamad also has his own calculations in mind.
First of all, he didn't know anything about football, and how to run it after the acquisition was a big problem.
So you have to rely on Yang Huan and Daniel Levy, so give them shares, which is a matter of course.
Is it possible to let the horse run and not let the horse graze?
In addition, if the Northumberland plan is to continue, it will definitely be indispensable to Daniel Levy, who knows the roots, and Young Master Huan, who has extensive connections in the UK, to support him strongly.
Otherwise, can they play alone?
Therefore, after thinking about it, Prime Minister Hamad felt that this condition was acceptable.
As for Joe Lewis, this guy has a big appetite.
The previous purchase price of 400 million pounds almost did not make Prime Minister Hamad's saliva spray to death.
It's a bit more pragmatic now, down to £250 million, but it's still on the high side.
After all, how much stake does this guy own in Tottenham Hotspur?
He took advantage of the fact that Tottenham Hotspur's share price fell to the bottom, and took the opportunity to buy the bottom, and the purchase price was too cheap.
Now it's a direct lion's mouth, obviously to make a lot of money.
However, Young Master Huan had passed through him before.
So, Prime Minister Hamad closed the document in his hand with a smile, looked at Joe Lewis, nodded and smiled: "Mr. Lewis, the new season has entered the intensive preparation stage, and I hope to complete the acquisition in the next few days, so that the team has enough time to bring in reinforcements and preparations." ”
When he said this, several senior executives, including Daniel Levy, nodded in agreement.
Regardless of whether the acquisition is successful or not, the operation and operation of the team is what matters.
"So, my attitude is, either we can end this negotiation in two weeks, or I will abandon this acquisition."
When Prime Minister Hamad said this, his attitude seemed very serious, and there was no joke or room for negotiation at all.
In the end, he is the prime minister of a country, and when he talks ruthlessly, he has a majesty that is not angry and arrogant!
"Now, I have raised my offer again, 200 million pounds, I will complete this acquisition with a maximum of 200 million pounds, whether it will succeed or not, you can see for yourself!"
After saying that, everyone present immediately looked at Joe Lewis.
At this moment, the ball was thrown at his feet again.
Because of Yang Huan's invitation, Charlene Lahri, who was fortunate enough to attend the hearing, was enthusiastic.
Hundreds of millions of acquisitions at every turn, it is the first time she has experienced it personally, and she feels that it is an enjoyable experience.
That's surprising, isn't it?
And her biggest doubt now is, will Lewis agree? r1148
