Chapter 836: 40 million pounds, can you listen to it?
"Yes, of course you have to be my consultant. You are the only one I can trust."
I was about to say the word "friend".
Xiang Yang quickly took it back.
Which one of you here is not his friend from all over the world?
If you say this.
Didn’t that offend everyone here?
"I trust you more than the British lawyer consultants that Bea Shaffer hired for me."
"Yeah" Macron groaned.
This is really nice to say.
But before he could laugh, the troublemaker appeared.
Alisher Usmanov squinted his eyes and smiled: "Xiang, if you need help with the law, Abu and I can help you hire the best team at any time."
< br>"Well, I have a lot of experience in buying real estate in London." Abramovich, who was in a good mood, also sent an assist.
"Thank you, Macron's help is enough."
Xiang Yang quickly laughed and tried to change the topic: "But to be honest, it seems that I don't want to buy this castle now. , it doesn’t work either.”
After he finished speaking, several people nodded in agreement.
Even they rolled their eyes at Xiang Yang.
Who is offended by this?
Who among you can't afford 4 million pounds?
Macron: "."
But whether the "afternoon tea" thing has anything to do with this property, that's for sure.
Spending 4 million pounds for a meal of tea is quite worth it in their opinion.
Although, the gimmick of this afternoon tea is greater than reality. The players like the club can only shake Elizabeth's hand and say hello.
But it doesn’t mean that anyone who spends 4 million pounds can enjoy such treatment.
To put it bluntly, the invitation to the club was nothing more than a pretense, and Xiang Yang was the one who was really invited.
As for why he was invited.
Just look at the later actor of "Downton Abbey", Jim Carter, who played the role of the Crawley family butler Charles Carson.
Such an actor who is basically unknown to many people internationally was awarded the Order of Merit, the highest honor of the British Empire, for his special contribution to dramatic works.
As Xiang Yang, a designer who graduated from a British design school and is deeply involved in promoting British culture in global culture is taken seriously. It is not too surprising to those who know the industry.
This medal has the same nature as the French Cultural Medal.
There are many actors, directors, and singers who have received this honor.
Like Adele, Ed Sheeran, Nolan, Freckles, Kelly, etc. have all won.
Of course, designers in the fashion industry are no exception.
Norman, the master of romantic couture, Hedi Yaman who founded the British luxury brand, Paul Smith who can't take his eyes away when he sees pink, and Stella McCarter, the founder of the fashion brand of the same name Nidu has received medals awarded by members of the royal family.
Who is the person who allows people around the world to have a deeper understanding of British fashion culture through film and television works?
Anna Wintour definitely counts as one.
But Xiangyang’s contribution cannot be underestimated.
And as a Chinese, he had just presided over the acquisition of Liverpool, and then immediately purchased real estate on the Isle of Man, the royal reservation.
It’s worth it to win over.
If it were not for the fact that his contribution to cultural communication is not particularly outstanding, it would not be too surprising to directly add him to the list of honors for next year.
Anyway, this medal is divided into five levels from MBE to GBE.
"Haha, even if she gives it to me, I don't want it." At the dinner table, Xiang Yang and the others were also talking about the medal.
Because according to tradition, every year on the Queen's birthday and New Year's Day, it is the day when the list of the Medal of Honor is announced.
Twice a year.
People awarded each time
As many as thousands.
Because whether it is the Commander's Medal, the Officer's Medal, or the Officer's Medal, they are the lowest level.
Only the Knight Grand Cross (GBE) and the Knight Commander (KBE/DBE) are rare.
Those other three, even if you take them, you are not awarded the knighthood. What's the use of coming here? Moreover, even if foreigners hold a title representing a knighthood, they cannot have Sir or Dame in front of their name.
So this kind of honor has little practical significance here in Xiangyang.
Got it.
Should Liverpool fans scold him, they will still scold him.
As for wearing it, let alone other things, he just couldn't accept the charity he had to participate in every year in the UK.
He doesn’t think it’s okay to do more charity in Europe for brand marketing.
But taking money out of your own pocket to support the British?
Xiangyang chuckled just thinking about it.
“I think if you have the opportunity, you can fight for it.” Macron suggested.
With or without this medal, it is still different.
From ZZ’s perspective.
"I'll wait for you to award me a medal later." Xiang Yang seemed to be joking, but in his heart he was just a little bit jiujiu.
"Haha, okay. If France wants to grant you this kind of honor, I will definitely apply for it."
Macron responded with a smile.
If nothing else, what Xiang Yang said sometimes made people feel particularly comfortable.
Abu, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Xiangyang, then looked at Macron without any trace, and then pursed his lips habitually.
As the person who had the deepest contact with Xiang Yang among the people present, he felt that there was something in his words. Anyway, that's what his intuition told him.
Although he is in England, he still knows France very well.
How many consultants does Lao Sa have?
The answer is 117.
The salary of each consultant is 42,000 euros.
But such a "low-income" economic consultant received great attention in Xiangyang.
If there is nothing going on here, then his dealings with the emperor will be in vain.
The other side.
Buckingham Palace’s official website announcement.
Elizabeth’s invitation to Liverpool Club was set for December 28, which was stuck in the middle of New Year’s Day (New Year’s Day) after Christmas.
For this announcement, it’s not just those on Hong Kong Island who are busy.
In England, the BBC is making urgent plans. They were invited to make a documentary about Arsenal, and as the invited media, they captured precious footage.
This time, it is no exception.
The board of directors of the school where Xiang Yang originally studied is holding an emergency meeting
Similarly, Standard Chartered Bank is not idle either.
As Xiang Yang meant, Edwards immediately replied to them who were waiting for the results.
Hmm.
Unlike clubs in lower leagues who are rushing to serve sponsors, the giants in the Premier League have a great say when it comes to sponsors.
But Liverpool is undoubtedly the most special one in the Premier League.
He really has no shortage of sponsorship.
Uh.
Although the sponsorship fee for chest advertising is very important to the operation of the club, it is also a sign of success in business development.
But as long as you are willing to speak, it will never be Standard Chartered Bank’s turn.
This fact, after Edwards made it clear that everything would be discussed after the New Year holiday is over, Standard Chartered Bank feels that when it comes to sending money, it is so humble.
Have they already reached an agreement with Qatar Airways?
From the perspective of Standard Chartered Bank, their biggest competitors are not HYS and Hermès, the financial backers behind Liverpool.
But the club is PSG.
While the British side is busy, the football world in Paris is also not peaceful.
It is said that during these few days of Christmas, there will be a big burst of confidence.
Many people are guessing what it is.
But after thinking about it, in the French football league, only Paris Saint-Germain has the strength to stir up the focus that is now firmly controlled by the Premier League, La Liga, and the Bundesliga.
But it was precisely because of competitors such as HYS and Hermès before and Qatar Airways later that Standard Chartered refused to give up easily.
“40 million pounds.”
After discussing for a long time, the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank came up with the final plan.
40 million pounds of annual sponsorship, signed for 4 years at once.
A total of £160 million.
And in order to show sincerity as much as possible, the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank also decided that as long as Liverpool can add a priority renewal clause to the final agreement.
They can pay this sponsorship fee to Liverpool in one lump sum.
Or use this sponsorship agreement as a guarantee to provide Liverpool with an interest-free loan of 200 million pounds.
To say that such a sponsorship plan still cannot impress Liverpool, then to be honest, there is no need to talk anymore.
After all, before, except for the chest advertisement of Paris Saint-Germain.
The most expensive chest advertising sponsorship that has been exposed is the five-year sponsorship agreement that Qatar Fund and Barcelona Club are about to sign, with a total amount of up to 170 million euros.
Of course, this sponsorship was not achieved due to unexpected events.
But it is of great reference significance.
What level is Barcelona and what level is Liverpool?
One has been flourishing in both the Champions League and the domestic league, and the other is facing reconstruction.
“Since everyone agrees with this plan, we will go to Liverpool tomorrow.”
Hurry sooner rather than later.
Signing this agreement tomorrow will just make the afternoon tea a hot topic of public opinion.
What level is this hot spot? What level is it that many Barcelona players are under investigation for tax evasion?
Edwards looked embarrassed after answering the phone.
How to report this?
Boss just rushed to London and will be back tomorrow.
The key is that the chairman of the board of directors and the CEO come to the club to negotiate in person, and he, the sports director, cannot make the decision.
How about
"Shaffer, if the boss can't get away and come back, will you represent him?" Faced with this problem, Edwards could only count on Bea Shaffer to help him at the critical moment.
Hearing this, Bea Shaffer looked confused at first.
After I figured it out, I laughed at myself.
Can she represent Xiangyang?
Bea Shaffer really wanted to tell Edwards a fact truthfully.
In this world, there is only one woman who can make Xiang Yang say what he means without thinking.
That is.
