Football giants

Chapter 621

"Haha, Miss Huang, Master Huan has praised you a lot in front of me."

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. The eyes seemed to be dripping water, 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 architectural circles all over the world. Then he, the master, would be honored to follow suit.

"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 600 meters, twice the size of 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 exceed the Kingdom Building, preferably more than 2000 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 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 within a few years, you will definitely become a world-famous architect."

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 have also seen the stadium and buildings designed by your firm, and we are very satisfied. Moreover, I came to this submarine hotel today and visited Southampton's sea stadium. They are all very dreamy and amazing."

"So, this time we decided to 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, 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 what I said, but everyone knows that Master Huan's recommendation 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, and recommended it to Prime Minister Hamad. He also said that he planned to hand over the entire Banana Island project, which had been renamed Crescent Bay, to Huang Ying for design.

As a result, Prime Minister Hamad decided to first invite Huang Ying to design and give her one year.

That is to say, as long as Huang Ying can come up with a design that satisfies them within one year, 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, let your subordinates be responsible for these matters!"

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 conference 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 Prime Minister Hamad met when he was in Doha.

Among the other people, the big 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 many times, they all felt the strong financial resources from the Middle East consortium and the 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, and has received strong support from the district council, the city council, and the British government. This is also a very attractive plan for the Qatari 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 brought 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 30.00%.

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 [-]%.

All remaining shares belong to Lewis.

Because neither Yang Huan nor Daniel Levi considered selling their shares, what the Qatari 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, he was a little surprised, and immediately glanced at Yang Huan who was sitting beside him.

The latter smiled slightly and nodded, expressing that he approved of this proposal.

According to the plan proposed by Tottenham Hotspur, after the acquisition is completed, Yang Huan's shares will be reduced to 30.00%, while Daniel Levy's shares will be reduced to 5.00%.

In other words, the Qatar consortium's shareholding will reach 60.00% five, completely controlling 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 Qatari consortium will immediately invest [-] million pounds of operating funds in 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 substantive 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 cannot guarantee that he can reach the top four in the league.

Prime Minister Hamad also has his own calculations in mind.

First of all, he knows nothing about football. How to manage after the acquisition is a big problem.

So we have 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, the guy has a big appetite.

The purchase price of [-] 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 5000 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 preparations for the new season have entered an intensive stage. I hope to complete the acquisition within the next few days, so that the team will have enough time to sign up and prepare for the game."

When he said this, several senior executives, including Daniel Levy, 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, it is the prime minister of a country, and when he speaks harshly, he is very majestic without anger and prestige!

"Now, I'm raising my offer again to [-] million pounds. I can complete this acquisition with a maximum of [-] 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 excited to hear it.

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?
