"Haha, Ms. Huang, Master Huan has always praised you in front of me. http://www.vodtw.com"
In one of the conference rooms of the seven-star underwater hotel in Southampton, Prime Minister Hamad, who came to the UK from Qatar, smiled and shook hands with Huang Ying, who came south from London.
While Huang Ying was being polite to Prime Minister Hamad, her wonderful eyes swept towards Yang Huan who was next to her. Water dripped from her pupils, not to mention how moved she was.
Fortunately, she misunderstood just now, thinking that Master Huan just wanted to pull her over to test the bed, who knows...
Norman Foster was also grinning from ear to ear. More than anyone else, he hoped that his apprentice would be successful and make a name for himself in the construction industry all over the world. Then he, the master, would follow suit. Proud.
"It is so, 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 will build a Kingdom Tower, which will be the tallest building in the world, with a height of 1,600 meters, twice as high as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai."
Everyone present had heard of this incident, but they were only amazed at how rich the local tyrants in the Middle East were.
"After careful consideration, we plan to build the world's tallest building in Doha. The budget is not a problem, but the height must be higher than the Kingdom Building, preferably more than two thousand meters."
Huang Ying and Norman Foster looked at me and I looked at you, both dumbfounded.
Isn't this too capricious?
Saudi Arabia is just going to build a 1,600-meter-high building, and it's just planning, and it hasn't started yet. You can't wait to build a world's tallest building that surpasses them?
But both of them knew in their hearts that this was the dream of any designer.
Whoever designs this tallest building in the world will be able to become famous in the architectural world!
Prime Minister Hamad looked at Yang Huan, "Miss Huang, Master Huan is full of praise for you. He told me very confidently that you will become a world-famous architect in a few years."
When Huang Ying heard this, she couldn't help looking at Yang Huan again, her eyes were covered with a thick layer of mist.
"We also looked at the stadium and buildings designed by your firm,
I am very satisfied, and I came to this submarine hotel today and visited the Southampton Sea Stadium, which is very dreamy. Very amazing. "
"So, this time we decided. 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, or even tens of billions of buildings, all designed by me?
Prime Minister Hamad laughed, "We believe in Master Huan's vision, and we also believe in your ability!"
That's the way it is said, but everyone knows that it was recommended by Master Huan. is the most important.
Otherwise, there will be many capable designers in the world, and once the temptation of designing the tallest building in the world is thrown out, which one will not flock to it, and it will be her turn to be a young designer who is just emerging?
Yang Huan felt Huang Ying's grateful eyes, and felt very disappointed.
In fact, he didn't say much, just boasted a few words casually. He recommended it to Prime Minister Hamad, and said that he planned to give Huang Ying the design of the entire Banana Island project, which had been renamed Crescent Bay.
As a result, Prime Minister Hamad decided to first invite Huang Ying to design and give her one year.
In other words, as long as it is within this year. If Huang Ying can come up with a design that satisfies them, then she will be able to win the project, and if they are not satisfied within one year, then they will consider inviting other architects to bid.
Of course, inviting Huang Ying to design would cost money.
"Okay, Prime Minister Hamad. Leave these matters to your subordinates!"
Yang Huan stood up with a smile, "Our guests have arrived, let's talk about serious business!"
Serious business?
Huang Ying and the others smiled wryly. In the eyes of the two big bosses, building the tallest building in the world 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, he winked.
"Remember, we have to try that bed tonight!"
Huang Yingfen's face was flushed, but she couldn't think of refusing at all, she hurriedly nodded in agreement.
A group of people walked out of the meeting room and walked along the winding tunnel under the sea.
The underwater world is everywhere in the front, back, left, and right sides. From time to time, you can even see the thrilling scene of a big fish hitting the glass on the bottom of the sea. It is very exciting, and even Prime Minister Hamad is full of praise.
Not long after, a group of people walked into another meeting room.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that there were still many people in the room.
Kesh Harris and Pini Zahavi both met when Prime Minister Hamad was in Doha.
Among the others, the bald head is the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy.
Sitting next to Levi is Lewis, the behind-the-scenes boss of Tottenham Hotspur, and the core executives of Tottenham Hotspur.
Accompanying her in the last seat was a very handsome blonde girl. After Yang Huan introduced her, Prime Minister Hamad discovered that she was the number one soccer player in England, Charlene Lahiri.
"Hello, respected Prime Minister Hamad!" Lewis and Daniel Levi looked very respectful and polite.
"Hello, I heard that Master Huan mentioned the two of you. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
After exchanging pleasantries, a group of people immediately sat down as host and guest.
In fact, before today's meeting, everyone had already passed each other's breath.
From the day Lewis bought Tottenham Hotspur, he has been looking for a buyer.
Therefore, for ENIC Company, there is no so-called issue of whether to sell or not, but whether the other party can offer a price that makes them excited and satisfied.
In the previous contact 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 big surprise either.
Tottenham Hotspur is located in the north of London. Although it is the birthplace of the London riots, it is precisely because of this that the London City Government and the British government attach great importance to the development of this area, so the potential is very great.
Moreover, ENIC has worked out a set of Northumberland development plans before, which has received strong support from district councils, city councils and the British government. This is also a very attractive plan for the Qatar consortium.
Because this plan is more profitable than their large-scale 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 dispute lies in two points, one is the purchase price and how to distribute the equity after the completion of the purchase.
Yang Huan entered Tottenham Hotspur with Gary Cahill, Moutinho, Eriksen, Markovic, Rojo and Emre Can. 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 stake can even be higher.
According to the original three-legged situation, Daniel Levi's shareholding will also be reduced to about 7%.
All remaining shares belong to Lewis.
Because neither Yang Huan nor Daniel Levi considered selling their shares, what the Qatar consortium wanted to buy now was the shares in Lewis's hands.
"Prime Minister Hamad, this is the plan we came up with after research and discussion."
On behalf of Tottenham Hotspur, Daniel Levy took the lead in proposing an acquisition plan to the Qatari consortium responsible for the acquisition.
Prime Minister Hamad took the document from Mr. Bald, opened it, and read it line by line very seriously.
when he saw one of them. Somewhat surprised, he immediately glanced at Yang Huan who was sitting beside him.
The latter smiled slightly and nodded, expressing that he approved of this plan.
According to the plan proposed by Tottenham Hotspur, after the acquisition is completed, Yang Huan's shares will be reduced to 30%, while Daniel Levy's shares will be reduced to 5%.
That is. The Qatari consortium's stake will reach 65 per cent, giving them full control of Tottenham Hotspur.
But Yang Huan's request is that he must have a place on the board of directors.
Daniel Levy has also asked to be on the board, while he intends to remain with the club.
And their request is very 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 shareholdings.
Of course, Daniel Levy also made a substantive promise. Even if the Qatari consortium does not invest after the acquisition, he is confident that Tottenham Hotspur will continue to maintain a healthy financial situation, but he cannot guarantee that he will be able to enter the league. top four.
Prime Minister Hamad also has his own calculations in mind.
First of all, he knows nothing about football, how to manage after the acquisition. This is a big problem.
Therefore, it has to rely heavily on Yang Huan and Daniel Levi, so it is only natural to give them shares.
Is it possible to let the horse run without letting the horse eat grass?
What's more, if the Northumberland plan is to continue to be implemented, Daniel Levy, who knows the basics, and Master Huan, who has a wide network of connections in the UK, must be behind the scenes for their strong support.
Otherwise, relying on them alone, can they play well?
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 purchase price of 400 million pounds was offered before, and Prime Minister Hamad's saliva was almost sprayed 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 stake does this guy own in Tottenham Hotspur?
When Tottenham Hotspur's stock price fell to the bottom, he took the opportunity to buy the bottom, and the purchase price was extremely cheap.
Now the lion is directly opening his mouth, obviously to make a lot of money.
However, Young Master Huan told him through it before.
Therefore, Prime Minister Hamad smiled and closed the document in his hand, looked at Joe Lewis, nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Lewis, the new season has entered the stage of intensive preparations, and I hope to complete the acquisition within the next few days." , so that the team can have enough time to sign up and prepare for the game."
When he said this, several senior executives including Daniel Levi nodded in agreement.
Regardless of whether the acquisition is successful or not, the management and operation of the team are the most important.
"So, my attitude is, either, we end this negotiation within two weeks, or I give up this acquisition."
When Prime Minister Hamad said this, his attitude was very serious, and there was no room for joking or negotiating.
After all, he is the prime minister of a country, and when he speaks harsh words, he is very majestic 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. Whether it succeeds or not, you can decide for yourself!"
After finishing speaking, everyone present immediately looked at Joe Lewis in unison.
At this moment, the ball was thrown at his feet again.
Because of Yang Huan's invitation, Charlene Lahiri, who was honored to attend the audition, was very excited.
It was the first time for her to experience an acquisition worth hundreds of millions, and she felt that it was quite enjoyable.
Surprising, isn't it?
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.)
