Chapter 207 Yuanfang, What Do You Think?

Notting Hill in the northwest corner of Hyde Park, West End, London at night.

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

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

One of the most striking is undoubtedly the luxury bus of the Saints Southampton who just won the championship at Wembley Stadium.

There are constantly gentlemen in neat suits, holding elegant female companions, and stepping into Wangjiang Pavilion, which attracted a group of dozens of reporters stationed outside the gate of Wangjiang Pavilion who came to shoot wildly.

Tonight, the people who appear here are all well-known political and business celebrities in the UK.

They all received invitations to attend Southampton's celebration banquet at the No.

"congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Yang Huan!"

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

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

The team that was able to beat the Premier League champions Manchester United with the third tier of the league won the FA Cup.

This honor has never been seen before in the more than 100-year history of English football!

For this honor, they deserve all the praise!

"Thank you, Chairman Bernstein, sit inside!"

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

"Thank you, Mr. Scudemore!"

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

"Sure, don't worry, Young Master Huan!"

Yang Huan smiled and greeted the senior leaders of the British football world, including the chairman of the FA, David Bernstein, the chief executive of the Premier League, Scudemore, the chairman of the coaches' union, Howard Wilkinson, and the chairman of the players' union. go in.

Football is in the social circle of British high society,

It is very, very popular, and even discussing football is a topic that political and business celebrities are most passionate about, so Bernstein, Wilkinson and other highly respected authorities in football circles are still very popular in the upper class.

Even Prince William and his wife paid their respects to them.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yang Huan!"

The front foot just welcomed the guests in, and the rear foot immediately came in again.

It was Boris Johnson, the mayor of London with white hair. Accompanied by Terry Matthews, the future mayor of Southampton, he walked into the door of the No. 3 store in Wangjiang Pavilion.

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

Although Yang Huan had a bad impression of Boris Johnson, the mayor of London had said a few things that made Chinese people feel uncomfortable when he was running for election.

But that's for votes, and now people are taking the initiative to come together to get close.

There is a saying in the old ancestor, don't hit the smiling person when you reach out.

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

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

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

There has been talk of Boris Johnson's future as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Terry Matthews also said, "We already have enough evidence to prosecute them. The first offender, Terry Adams, will spend at least twenty or thirty years in prison!"

Yang Huan was quite satisfied with the result.

When this happened, he was more concerned about how to strengthen the security measures for himself and the people around him.

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

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

Yang Huan was stunned, just at this moment when he saw Kesh Harris walking in with a stranger, he was nodding at Yang Huan from a distance, indicating that he had time to talk, so he took this opportunity to think about it. with this sentence.

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

"According to our preliminary estimates, Wangjiang Pavilion will open at least three or four branches in London, and currently only two are opened. Moreover, the housing prices in London are very low now, and many people want to buy property in London."

The most typical example is that a large consortium from the Middle East bought almost the entire Knight Street in one go.

It can only be said that those Middle Eastern people are 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, making sure no one could hear it, and then leaned closer, "London is currently negotiating a 7% purchase stamp duty on properties over £2 million starting in 2013. , and a capital gains tax on foreigners from 2015.”

After Yang Huan heard it, he was a little stunned, but he didn't react for a while.

2013 and 2015, but now it's only 2011!

Why as soon as possible?

But Boris Johnson didn't say much. 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 Nicola Cortes immediately went to the gate to welcome the guests.

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

Soon, Zhao Yuanfang came.

Yang Huan repeated what Boris Johnson said just now.

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

Zhao Yuanfang was immediately overjoyed, "Master Huan, this is a great opportunity."

"What's the meaning?"

"What do you think property investors will do once London announces stamp duty on purchases and capital gains tax?"

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

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

Yang Huan listened silently, this is not his forte.

"London's rental rate is the highest among all big cities in the world, especially in the core area, which is as high as 5% after tax deduction, or even as high as 6%. In our country, the capital and Longhai are at most two percent."

After Zhao Yuanfang calculated this, Yang Huan really understood.

If you dare to buy the bargain now, even if you don’t sell it while the value is rising, it’s quite a good thing to keep it in your hands to collect the rent.

"The whole world thinks that the oil tycoons in the Middle East are stupid and quick, 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 advances in shale gas and other energy sources that will gradually be replaced in the long run.

Therefore, the rich people in the Middle East are now using the money they earn from oil to invest in other fields, such as media, real estate, tourism, etc. These are investment projects with very long-term value.

"Who said it wasn't?" Zhao Yuanfang also laughed, "Which rich person is stupid?"

Even Abramovich, let alone anyone else, is buying property in London.

Besides, rich people don't understand themselves, so can't they hire people?

"Boris Johnson told me this news, it made it clear that he wanted to reciprocate the favor and give me a favor!" Yang Huan swept forward, and Boris Johnson, who was bragging with Prince William and his wife in the lobby, seemed to have something to do with it. Induction, he turned his head and nodded at Yang Huan with a slight smile.

"Such a good opportunity, if you don't make money, you won't make it for nothing. Anyway, Cash Harris wants me to take a loan!"

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

Young Master Huan valued the ability of his subordinates the most. He didn't see that even though Sun Yue's flatterer was always criticized, he was the most favored by Young Master Huan because of his ability to do things.

"I'm going to prepare right away tomorrow!"

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

"clear!"

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

Zhao Yuanfang knew that this was her chance to stand out, and she agreed to go with excitement.

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

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan."

This man has sharp edges and corners, is not small, and looks quite imposing.

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

"I'm the senior vice president of Adidas football business, Marcus Bowman!" He said, and he also sent a well-designed business card with both hands.

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

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

"Hello, Mr. Bowman!" He immediately stretched out his hand with a smile.

When people send money, they can't be too rejecting people thousands of miles away, right?

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

After a pause, Marcus Bowman said confidently: "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 replied with a faint smile.

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

"We understand that the contract signed by Southampton with Umbro is about to expire and we are very much looking forward to working with a team as good as Southampton."

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

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

Shirt sponsors including Nike, Adidas, Puma, Umbro, etc. have all had contact with Southampton before, but they have always been suppressed by Yang Huan, because Southampton did not have enough right to speak at that time.

But now the situation is completely different.

An FA Cup title may not say much, nor can it give everyone confidence in Southampton's future.

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

Judging from the current situation, once we 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 fee has become the focus of Yang Huan's most concern.

Of course, Southampton has some additional conditions.

"We are willing to add 60% to the contract between the Saints and Umbro, and sign them for five years!" Marcus Bowman said.

Sixty percent, that is, Adidas' bid was £8 million.

This amount of money is really not 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 talk about this matter again at an opportunity. Tonight is our celebration banquet, you must be drunk!"

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

Cash Harris had been waiting for him in the 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 does not even despise the £8 million shirt sponsorship?

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

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