"Haha, Miss Huang, Master Huan praised you in front of me. http://%77%77%77%2e%76%6f%64%74%77%2e%63%6f%6d"
In one of the conference rooms of the seven-star undersea hotel in Southampton, Prime Minister Hamad, who came to the UK from Qatar, smiled and shook hands cordially with Huang Ying, who went south from London.
While Huang Ying was polite with Prime Minister Hamad, her wonderful eyes swept towards Yang Huan beside her, her eyes were dripping with water, and her heart was moved.
Fortunately, she had misunderstood just now, thinking that Master Huan just wanted to bring her to the trial bed, who knows...
Norman Foster also laughed from ear to ear. He hoped more than anyone else that his apprentice would be promising and be able to make a name for himself in the world of architecture. Then he, the master, would also follow suit. Rong Yan.
"That's it, Lord Foster, Miss Huang."
As soon as everyone sat down, Prime Minister Hamad’s secretary stood up and introduced the whole thing to everyone present.
"Not long ago, Saudi Arabia announced that it would build a Kingdom Tower, which will be the tallest building in the world, at 1,600 meters, twice the size of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai."
Everyone present had heard of this incident, but they were only amazed by the wealth of the rich in the Middle East.
"After careful consideration, we plan to build the world's tallest building in Doha. Budget or something is not a problem, but the height must exceed the Kingdom Tower, preferably more than two kilometers."
Huang Ying and Norman Foster look at me, I look at you, they are a little bit dumbfounded.
This is too willful, right?
The Saudis are just going to build a 1,600-meter-high building, and it is only planning, and construction has not yet started. You can't wait to build a tallest building in the world that surpasses them?
But both knew in their hearts that this is a good thing that any designer dreams of.
Whoever designs this tallest building in the world will become famous in the architectural world!
Prime Minister Hamad looked at Yang Huan, "Miss Huang, Master Huan is full of praise for you. He is very confident and told me 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 mist.
"We also looked at the stadium and buildings designed by your firm and were very satisfied. I came to this underwater hotel today and visited the sea stadium in Southampton. It was very dreamy. It was amazing."
"So, this time we decided. We invite you to design this building for us!"
Huang Ying's eyes widened when she heard this, she couldn't believe it.
This is a multi-billion-dollar, or even a tens of billions of buildings, all designed by me?
Prime Minister Hamad laughed, "We believe in the eyes of Master Huan, and we believe that you have this ability!"
That's how it is said, but everyone knows, Young Master Huan's recommendation. Is the most important.
Otherwise, there will be more capable designers all over the world, and the temptation to design the world's tallest building is thrown out. Which one is not in droves, but she is just a young designer who is just a budding young designer?
Yang Huan felt the gratitude in Huang Ying's eyes, and felt very sad.
In fact, he didn't say much, just casually boasted. He also recommended it to Prime Minister Hamad, and said that he intends to entrust the entire Banana Island project, which has been renamed Crescent Bay, to Huang Ying to design.
As a result, Prime Minister Hamad decided to invite Huang Ying to design and give her a year.
In other words, as long as within this year. Huang Ying can come up with a design that satisfies them, then she can win the project, and if they cannot be satisfied within a year, they will consider inviting other architects to bid.
Of course, it costs money to invite Huang Ying to design.
"Okay, Prime Minister Hamad. These things are left to the people under him!"
Yang Huan laughed and stood up, "Our guest has already arrived, let's go talk about serious matters!"
Serious business?
Huang Ying and others all smiled bitterly. In the eyes of the two big men, it is not serious to build a world's tallest building!
Prime Minister Hamad also stood up with a smile, asked the secretary and the team a few words, and walked out of the conference room.
Before leaving, when Yang Huan passed by Huang Ying, he winked.
"Remember, we have to try that bed tonight!"
Huang Yingfen's face was flushed, but she couldn't think of rejection at all, so she nodded her head in a hurry.
A group of people walked out of the conference room and walked along the winding undersea tunnel.
The underwater world is everywhere, and from time to time you can even see the thrilling scene of big fish hitting the glass. It is very exciting, even Prime Minister Hamad is full of praise.
Before long, a group of people walked into another conference room.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a lot of people in the room.
Kesh Harris and Pini Zahavi, both Prime Minister Hamad met in Doha.
Among the others, the big bald head is the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy.
Sitting next to Levi are Tottenham Hotspur’s behind-the-scenes boss Lewis, as well as the core executives of Tottenham Hotspur.
At the end of the seat was a very delicate and charming blonde. After Yang Huan introduced it, Prime Minister Hamad discovered that it turned out to be the No. 1 football player in England, Charlene Laherit.
"Hello, dear Prime Minister Hamad!" Lewis and Daniel Levy looked very respectful and polite.
"Hello, I heard Master Huan mentioned both of them, and I am very happy to meet you!"
A group of people exchanged polite greetings, and immediately sat down as the subject and the guest.
In fact, before today's meeting, everyone had 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 such thing as whether to sell or not, but whether the other party can offer a price that makes them appealing and satisfied.
In the previous contacts with Kesh Harris and Pini Zahavi, they all felt the strong financial resources from the Middle East consortium and their strong interest in Tottenham Hotspur.
This is not a fuss.
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 both attach great importance to the development of this area, so the potential is very large.
Moreover, ENIC has already worked out a Northumberland development plan before, and has received strong support from the district council to the city council to the British government. This is also a very attractive plan for the Qatar consortium.
Because of this plan, they will be more profitable than buying and collecting rents from shops near Knightsbridge, London.
In this case, the willingness of both parties to complete the transaction is considerable.
The only dispute lies in two points, one is the purchase price and how the equity will be distributed after the completion of the acquisition.
Yang Huan took Gary Cahill, Moutinho, Eriksson, Markovic, Rojo and Emre Can into Tottenham Hotspur. According to the previous gambling agreement between the two parties, Yang Huan's shareholding should be around 35%.
If Tottenham Hotspur can reach the top four in the league. The shares can even be higher.
According to the original three-legged situation, Daniel Levy's shareholding will also be reduced to about 7%.
All the remaining shares belong to Lewis.
Because both Yang Huan and Daniel Levy are not considering selling their shares, what the Qatar consortium wants to buy now is Lewis's shares.
"Prime Minister Hamad, this is our plan after research and discussion."
On behalf of Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy took the lead in proposing an acquisition plan to the Qatar consortium responsible for the acquisition.
Prime Minister Hamad took this document from Mr. Bald Head, opened it, and looked at it line by line very seriously.
When he saw one of them. Somewhat surprised, he immediately glanced at Yang Huan sitting beside him.
The latter smiled slightly and nodded, indicating that he approved the plan.
According to the plan proposed by Tottenham Hotspur, after the completion of the acquisition, Yang Huan's shares will be reduced to 30%, while Daniel Levy's shares will be reduced to 5%.
In other words. The Qatar consortium will hold 65 percent of the shares, fully controlling Tottenham Hotspur.
But Yang Huan's request is that he must have a place on the board of directors.
Daniel Levy also asked to be on the board of directors, and he intends to continue serving at the club.
Their request is simple. After the acquisition, the Qatar consortium immediately invested 100 million pounds in operating funds for Tottenham Hotspur. And no matter how much they invest in Tottenham Hotspur in the future, they will not reduce their holdings.
Of course, Daniel Levy also gave a substantial promise. Even if the Qatar consortium does not invest after the acquisition, he is confident that Tottenham Hotspur will continue to maintain a healthy financial situation, but he is not guaranteed to enter the league. Top four.
Prime Minister Hamad also has his own abacus in his heart.
First of all he knows nothing about football, how to operate after the acquisition. This is a big problem.
So we have to rely on Yang Huan and Daniel Levy, so it is natural to give them shares.
Is it possible to let the horse run without letting the horse eat grass?
In addition, if the Northumberland plan is to continue, it must be supported by the well-informed Daniel Levy and the well-connected young master Huan in the UK.
Otherwise, relying on them alone, can you have fun?
Therefore, after thinking about it, Prime Minister Hamad felt that this condition was acceptable.
As for Joe Lewis, this guy has a lot of appetite.
The purchase price of 400 million pounds was offered before, and Prime Minister Hamad almost didn't let Prime Minister Hamad's saliva spray to death.
Now it is more pragmatic, and it has dropped to 250 million pounds, but it is still on the high side.
After all, how much does this guy own in Tottenham Hotspur?
He took advantage of Tottenham Hotspur's stock price to fall to the bottom, and took the opportunity to buy bottoms, the purchase price was too cheap.
Now it is straightforward to speak loudly, obviously to make a fortune.
However, Young Master Huan passed through with him before.
Therefore, Prime Minister Hamad smiled and closed the documents in his hand, 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 within the next few days. This allows the team to have enough time to sign up and prepare."
When he said this, several top executives, including Daniel Levy, nodded in unison and agreed.
Regardless of whether the acquisition is successful or not, the team's management and operation are the most important.
"So, my attitude is, we either end this negotiation within two weeks, or I give up this acquisition."
When Prime Minister Hamad mentioned this, UU Read www.uukanshu.com was very serious, and there was no room for joking or negotiation.
After all, he is the prime minister of a country. When speaking harshly, he has a majesty without anger and prestige!
"Now, I'm raising my offer again to 200 million pounds. I can complete this acquisition with a maximum of 200 million pounds. You can decide whether it will succeed or not!"
After speaking, everyone in the room immediately looked at Joe Lewis.
At this moment, the ball was thrown at his feet again.
Because of Yang Huan's invitation, Charlene Laheri, who was fortunate enough to be present, was enthusiastic.
It was the first time for her to experience acquisitions of hundreds of millions of dollars in person, and she felt that it was a pleasure.
It’s amazing, isn’t there?
And her biggest doubt now is, will Lewis agree? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
