Chapter 207: Yuan Fang, what do you think?
Night at Notting Hill in the northwest corner of Hyde Park in London's West End.
The No. 4 Wangjiang Pavilion store, which has just opened, is brightly lit.
On both sides of the road outside the gate, which is not wide, all kinds of luxury cars are parked.
One of the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the luxury coach of the Saints Southampton, who has just won the championship at Wembley Stadium.
There were constantly gentlemen in straight suits, holding elegant female companions, and entering Wangjiang Pavilion, which attracted a group of dozens of reporters stationed outside the gate of Wangjiang Pavilion to shoot wildly.
Tonight, all the people who appeared here were well-known political and business celebrities in the United Kingdom.
They had just watched Southampton's final against Manchester United at Wembley Stadium and received an invitation to attend Southampton's celebration banquet at Wangjiang Pavilion No. 4.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Yang Huan!"
"Well done, Saints, congratulations on your victory!"
Every guest who walked into the gate of Wangjiang Pavilion shook hands with Yang Huan with a smile and congratulated.
The team that was able to win the FA Cup in the third tier defeated the English champion Manchester United.
This award has never been seen before in the more than 100-year history of English football!
For this honor, they deserve a qiē praise!
"Thank you, Chairman Bernstein, sit inside!"
"Mr. Yang Huan, we are very much looking forward to seeing you Southampton return to the UK, come on!"
"Thank you, Mr. Scudmoor!"
"Howard, you'll have to greet Mr. Scudmore for me!"
"Definitely, don't worry, Young Master Huan!"
Yang Huan laughed and put FA chairman David? Bernstein, British League executive John Skudmoore, and Coaches Union president Howard? Wilkinson and the president of the players' union and a number of other top officials in British football welcomed the entrance.
Football is very, very popular in the social circle of the British high society, and even discussing football is the most enthusiastic topic among political and business celebrities, so Bernstein, Wilkinson and other respected authorities in the football circle are still very popular in the high society.
Even Prince William and his wife were in high esteem.
"Congratulations, Mr. Yang Huan!"
As soon as the front foot welcomed the guest in, someone on the back foot immediately came in.
The white-haired Mayor of London, Boris? Johnson, the future mayor of Southampton, Terry? Accompanied by Matthews, he walked into the door of the No. 3 store of Wangjiang Pavilion.
"Thank you, Mayor Johnson!" Yang Huan greeted him with a smile.
Although Yang Huan is against Boris? Johnson's impression is not good, the mayor of London originally ran for election, but said a few words that made Chinese feel unhappy when they heard it.
But in the end, it was for the votes, and now people are taking the initiative to come up and set it up.
The ancestors have a saying, don't hit the smiling face when you reach out.
Forget it, as long as he doesn't say it in the future!
"Mr. Yang Huan, Terry and I have already understood the matter this time, don't worry, we have all done it, Terry? Adams and his gang, we won't let any of them go! "Boris? Johnson sternly assured.
Although he is only the mayor, he is still quite capable as the mayor and the Conservative Party behind him.
There has always been news that Boris? Johnson's future will be British.
Terry? Matthews also said on the sidelines: "We already have enough evidence to prosecute them, Terry? Adams would have to spend at least twenty or thirty years in prison! ”
Yang Huan was quite satisfied with this result.
When this kind of thing happens, he thinks more about how to strengthen the security measures for himself and the people around him.
It seems that Long Wu still has to recruit a few more masters to help.
"By the way, I heard from Terry that Mr. Yang Huan is interested in buying a house in London?" Boris? Johnson asked with a sudden smile.
Yang Huan was stunned, just at this time to see Kesh? Harris walked in with a stranger, and nodded to Yang Huan from a distance, signaling that he had time to talk, so he took this opportunity to ponder this sentence.
"Yes!" Yang Huan decided to confess, he believed Terry? Matthews.
"According to our preliminary estimates, Wangjiang Pavilion will open at least three or four branches in London, and only two have been opened so far, and now the housing prices in London are very low, and many people want to buy property in London."
The most typical is the big consortium from the Middle East that bought the entire Knight Street almost in one go.
It can only be said that those Middle Easterners are really rich.
"If Mr. Yang Huan is interested, then I will build a good job." Boris? Johnson said with a smile.
Yang Huan also smiled slightly, "Please say." ”
Boris? Johnson looked around to make sure no one was listening, and then leaned closer, "London is already discussing a 7% stamp duty on purchases on properties over £2 million from 2013 and a capital gains tax on foreigners from 2015." ”
After Yang Huan heard this, he was a little stunned and didn't react for a while.
2013 and 2015, but it's only 2011!
Why do you want to do kuài?
But Boris? Johnson didn't say much, and walked into the lobby after a few more polite words to Yang Huan.
"Old Sun, you and Nikolai are here to receive guests!"
Sun Yue and Nikolai? Cortez immediately walked to the gate to greet him.
What does Yang Huan think of Boris? Johnson's words were a little strange, "Old Five, go, call Zhao Yuanfang to me!" ”
Soon, Zhao Yuanfang came.
Yang Huan put Boris just now? Johnson's words were paraphrased.
"Yuan Fang, what do you think?" Yang Huan asked.
Zhao Yuanfang was immediately overjoyed, "Young Master Huan, this is a great opportunity." ”
"What do you mean?"
"What do you think property investors will do once London announces that stamp duty on purchases and capital gains tax will be imposed?"
Yang Huan understood, "You mean, you will be the first to strike!" ”
"Yes, once the news comes out, investors from all over the world will rush in, and house prices in London will definitely soar in a short period of time, and all investors will rush to buy before the policy is introduced, especially in the heart of London."
Yang Huan listened silently, this aspect is not his forte.
"London's return on rent is the highest of all major cities in the world, especially in the heartland, as high as 5 percent after tax deduction, or even as high as 6 percent, while in our country, it is only 2 percent at most."
As soon as Zhao Yuanfang calculated this, Yang Huan really understood.
Dare to buy the bottom now, even if you don't sell it when the value appreciates, it is quite a good thing to stay in your hands to collect rent.
"The whole world thinks that the oil barons in the Middle East are stupid and have a lot of money, but in my opinion, they are the most shrewd in the world!" Yang Huan really admires this group of people in the Middle East.
There is a limit to oil, especially with revolutionary advances in shale gas and other energy sources, which will gradually be replaced in the long run.
Therefore, the rich people in the Middle East are now taking out the money they earn from oil and investing it in other fields, such as media, real estate, tourism, etc., which are very long-term investment projects.
"Who's to say it isn't?" Zhao Yuanfang also smiled, "Which rich person is stupid?" ”
Even Roman Abramovich is buying a lot of money in London, let alone anyone else.
Besides, if the rich don't understand it, won't they still hire people?
"Boris? Johnson sued me for this news, and it was clear that he wanted to repay the favor and return the favor to me! Yang Huan swept forward, Boris who was bragging with Prince William and his wife in the lobby? Johnson seemed to have sensed something, turned around, and nodded at Yang Huan with a slight smile.
"Such a good opportunity, don't earn it for nothing, anyway, Kesh? Harris's side wishes I could take out a loan! ”
Zhao Yuanfang listened and knew that the time had come for him to show his loyalty.
Young Master Huan values the ability of his subordinates the most, I didn't see that although Sun Yue's sycophant spirit is always criticized, he is the most favored by Young Master Huan, relying on his ability to do things.
"I'll get ready tomorrow!"
Yang Huan nodded, "You can do this kind of thing!" ”
"Understood!"
"By the way, by the way, tell my dad the news, it's cheaper for him!"
Zhao Yuanfang knew that this was his chance to get ahead, and he agreed excitedly.
As soon as Yang Huan stood up, another person immediately greeted him.
"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan."
This person is angular, not small, and looks quite imposing.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Yang Huan didn't know him.
"I'm Senior Vice President of Football at Adidas, Marcus? Bowman! As he spoke, he handed over a delicately designed business card with both hands.
"Adidas?" Yang Huan took the business card and understood it in his heart.
Dare to love this is to send money to the door.
"Hello, Mr. Bowman!" He immediately smiled and stretched out his hand.
When people send money, they can't be too rejecting people thousands of miles away, right?
"Mr. Yang Huan, on behalf of the company, I would like to congratulate Southampton on winning the FA Cup, which is a very, very great honour, and at the same time, we are very optimistic about Southampton's future exhibition, especially next season."
After a pause, Marcus? Bowman is confident: "We think Southampton will not only make it back to England, but also have a good chance of making a difference on the European stage. ”
"Thank you!" Yang Huan replied with a faint smile.
Marcus? After Bowman finished talking about the opening, he went straight to the point.
'We understand that Southampton's contract with Umbro is about to expire and we really want to work with a team as good as 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'd love to know, how do you want to work together?" ”
Including Nike, Adidas, Puma, Umbro and other jersey sponsors, they have all been in contact with Southampton before, but they have always been pressed by Yang Huan, because Southampton did not have enough say at that time.
But now the shape shì is completely different.
An FA Cup win may mean little and no confidence in Southampton's future.
However, Southampton will play in the Europa League next season!
Judging from the current situation, once you cooperate with Adidas, the contract will definitely not 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 greatest concern.
Of course, there are a few additional conditions for Southampton.
"We are willing to raise another 60 percent on the basis of the contract between the saints and Umbro and sign it for five years!" Marcus? Bowman said.
Sixty percent, that is, Adidas' bid was eight million pounds.
If you calculate this money, it really can't be considered low.
If it's in the UK, it's the level of a medium team.
But Yang Huan shook his head and smiled, "Mr. Bowman, let's find a chance to talk about this matter, tonight is our celebration banquet, you must not get drunk and go home!" ”
After speaking, Yang Huan didn't talk to him, turned around with a smile and left.
Cash? Harris had been waiting for him in the distance.
Marcus? Bao Man understood what Yang Huan meant, he was very dissatisfied with the price, and he didn't even want to talk about it.
A team that has just been promoted to the Championship can't even look down on the £8 million shirt sponsorship?
He really didn't know if it was because the world was too crazy, or if Yang Huan's appetite was too big!
But when he looked at Yang Huan's back again, he immediately noticed Kesh? The man next to Harris.
If you look closely, isn't it Belt, vice president of Nike Europe? Hoyette?
Why did he come too?
Could it be that he also came to Southampton to talk about sponsorship?
It seems that this Southampton is really in demand right now!
