Chapter 838 What a coincidence, we meet again~
Liu Qianqian was chatting with Principal An in the hotel.
After checking into the hotel, Little John freshened up and put on an exquisite suit and went to Liverpool Club to meet Xiangyang.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Bea Shaffer and Edwards preparing for negotiations.
"Merry Christmas, Jean." Edwards greeted warmly.
"Good morning, Edward, you did a good job." Little John not only used the nickname affectionately, but also patted Edwards on the shoulder.
It’s just what he said
Bi Shaffer didn’t say anything about him.
If he had the title of director, he would be the leader.
"You don't have permission to look at these documents." After knocking on the documents placed in Xiangyang's position, Bea Shaffer said righteously.
As for Xiang Yang taking the initiative to show it to Little John, that was a matter between the two of them.
She has no right to interfere.
But Little John couldn’t help but agree and just read it, no way.
"I'm just here to listen." Little John, who knew it was not a good time to argue today, responded with a raised lip.
He and Edwards chatted about yesterday's game for some time before Xiang Yang's car arrived at the door of the club.
After getting off the car and thanking the driver, Xiang Yang walked into the club's office area under the guidance of the staff.
On Christmas, club employees also have to work.
While passing by the corridor, many cleaning staff were busy making arrangements to welcome the delegation from Standard Chartered Bank.
"Good morning, everyone." After Xiang Yang came in, he first said hello and then looked at Bea Shaffer.
She was so understanding that she had already prepared thoughtful coffee for Xiangyang.
"Let's go, let's have a brief meeting first." Xiangyang took it and took a sip. It was necessary to have a meeting before the people from Standard Chartered Bank arrived.
The main thing is to give the club’s senior management the right to speak.
Let them express their views through a huddle.
But in his heart, Xiangyang also has his own price tag.
While listening to Edwards and others expounding their respective views, Xiangyang flipped through the documents and wrote out the price in his heart on the paper.
40 million pounds, Xiang Yang is certainly satisfied with this figure.
But not satisfied.
He feels that 50 million pounds per year is negotiable.
And this is one of the reasons why he agreed to Little John's participation in the business negotiations.
"The value of a tool person lies in how to show it in a better way to obtain higher returns." This statement may hurt my friend's heart too much, but it is also true.
As the CEO of Hermès Film Investment Company and CC Films, he came to participate in Liverpool FC's commercial sponsorship negotiations, didn't he just play the role of a tool man.
Only this time, this tool man is a bit redundant.
"Mr. Xiang, you mean that Liverpool will not only go to China for friendly matches, but also to the United Arab Emirates and Qatar?"
Because many of the club's facilities are being renovated.
So when the Standard Chartered representative arrived, less went through the routine and steps of visiting the club.
After a brief walk in the honor room, the two parties, who tacitly wanted to start negotiations as soon as possible, came to the conference room.
When the negotiations started and Xiang Yanggang raised the topic of expanding cooperation, Winters, the CEO of Standard Chartered Bank, couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.
“Of course, Mr. Winters, this is the club’s most important business promotion next summer.”
At the beginning of the negotiation, Xiangyang got into working mode, and he smiled confidently Said: "I believe that with the help of Standard Chartered Bank, it will be more successful."
"This surprise surprises me a little."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Winster felt that the intelligence collected was indeed groundless. Xiangyang was very good at grasping the pain points of his partners!
When everyone focused on Hong Kong Island, only he noticed that as an outstanding person from a global bank, it was not just China's Hong Kong Island.
The UAE and its surrounding markets are also very important to Standard Chartered Bank.
Hmm.
The documents prepared by Bei Shaffer for Xiang Yang were mainly information collected in one night to provide Xiang Yang with a better entry point in the negotiation process.
The authenticity of these messages is 100% accurate.
Standard Chartered Bank has a loan totaling US$7.77 billion, and a company accounting for 4.2% of its total outstanding loans is still undergoing restructuring.
This company is the largest entity company in Dubai.
In addition, they just acquired Barclays Bank’s custody business in Africa this year and it is progressing very smoothly.
From these two strategic investment projects alone, we can see that Standard Chartered Bank has also made huge investments in the development of these two markets.
Coincidentally, Xiangyang is also very concerned about these two markets.
"Mr. Xiang, your proposal is a bit sudden. I need to communicate with the board of directors first." Winster said carefully after thinking about it.
Next year Liverpool will go to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates for commercial competitions, and will also introduce African players to expand the club's local influence.
This.
Not a bit tempting.
With the combination of Hermès and HYS, spending an extra 10 million pounds per year is equivalent to free advertising in two regions for Standard Chartered Bank.
Banks cannot do without publicity.
Leaving the other team members behind, he followed Bea Shaffer to the lounge that had been decorated with a Christmas atmosphere after leaving the conference room. He took out his mobile phone.
"Mr. Winster, what drinks should I prepare for you?"
Bea Shaffer said and asked the staff in the rest area to bring the water bill.
Tea, coffee, mineral water, sparkling water
These are nothing.
You can see it in the rest area of any large-scale enterprise, but after the black tea he asked for was brought over, he subconsciously glanced at the tea cup.
Whether Hermès tea cups are exquisite or not is another matter.
But the L.F.C printed on it
frowned, and when he saw the staff walking out of the rest area with Bea Shaffer, he took a look at the layout of the rest area.
In addition to the Christmas decorations that can be seen everywhere during Christmas, the most obvious one is the full range of souvenir display area specially provided by Hermès for Liverpool.
He is very familiar with BCK in the middle position.
Because many of his wife’s handbags are from Hermès, and of course, other luxury brands. "Ms. Schaffer, can you introduce me to her?" Coming out of the rest area, Winters was no longer in a hurry to communicate with the board of directors.
"Mr. Winters, these are not for sale."
Bee Shaffer, who has been waiting outside the door, is of course willing to act as a temporary commentator, "According to Mr. Xiang's idea, in the future Liverpool For important friendly matches, we will obtain authorization from the other club and then hot stamp their team logo on the bag.”
“This is a good idea.” Winters didn’t feel too surprised when he heard this. .
“After the game is over, we will hold a charity auction locally and donate the funds raised from these limited edition styles in the name of the club.”
"."
Winters was stunned for a moment.
This.
Not to mention anything else, he has been there several times and knows that although the teams in oil countries are not well-known, the financial backers behind them are real. Not short of money.
Especially, those clubs that he couldn't even name that had dominated the league for a long time.
If they participate in a charity auction like this.
The transaction price is really difficult to estimate.
No, more importantly, the series of advertising value and brand building value behind it cannot be measured by general advertising.
“I can tell you a little bit, Axel was invited to the Qatar Art Museum, and one of the gifts he brought was this leather bag.”
Bea Shaffer said, Mo Princess Zha is willing to endorse this charity event.
Is Standard Chartered Bank willing to join in the fun?
That depends.
"Mr. Xiang, thank you for choosing Standard Chartered Bank on behalf of the club. I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant in the next 5 years."
Taking the memo from Xiang Yang, Winster had a big smile on his face.
It can not only attract strong support for Hong Kong Island and China's advertising in the next few years, but also take advantage of Liverpool's commercial development in the Middle East.
It's simply too wonderful.
Had it not been for the time required to draft the contract and the careful review by legal counsel, he would have wished to sign the contract today.
"I am also very honored to represent Liverpool and be able to reach a future strategic cooperation agreement with Standard Chartered Bank."
Xiang Yang and Winster shook hands vigorously.
The business negotiation of 200 million pounds was completed in half a day. It was worth getting up early this time.
"Then let's work hard to sign the contract as soon as possible." Although there is a memorandum, not signing the contract is less of a gimmick.
No matter what, we have to work overtime to get this thing out.
"I will ask our legal department to seize the time to contact your company." Xiangyang also feels that it is better to sign early.
He can't leave without signing the contract.
He also agreed to accompany Liu Qianqian back to China to promote "Black Swan".
He always lies to her, just in case she breaks up with him.
In the end, he was the unlucky one.
"Mr. Winter, if it's convenient for us, let's have a simple lunch together to celebrate." After the intense business cooperation talks, it was time to have a meal and relax.
As the host, Xiang Yang must send out an invitation.
You have already spent 200 million pounds, you can’t just ignore lunch, that would be rude.
At the very least, there must be a small ceremony to support the scene.
"No problem, Mr. Xiang, I just want to communicate more with you on promotion." Winster was naturally happy.
Others in the Standard Chartered Bank team are also used to it.
"Schaffer, please arrange to get off the bus." Xiang Yang then explained to his assistant Bea Schaffer.
The restaurant inside Liverpool Club really has nothing to offer.
If you want to have a good business banquet, of course you have to go to a high-end restaurant or hotel. This is why the club facilities need to be completely renovated.
When they all arrived at the Harts Hotel in Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, they just walked into the elevator with the general manager of the hotel.
There was a "ding" sound.
The elevator door opened.
"Mr. Bill Winter, welcome." Liu Qianxi's graceful figure appeared at the door of the elevator.
She immediately gave him a friendly smile.
And her smiling eyes seemed to be saying to Xiang Yang: "Hey, what a coincidence, can we meet here?"
"What a coincidence? What a coincidence." Xiang Yang just said If you don't believe it, there are such coincidences in the world that can happen quietly around him.
"Mr. Winster, let me introduce to you, this is my wife."
"It is a great honor to see Mrs. Xiang here." Winster said kindly I touched hands with Liu Qianqian.
He was really not surprised by Liu Qianqian's appearance.
Because in British social etiquette.
The hostess plays an important role.
Whether it is receiving guests, selecting dishes, or even arranging seats to ensure guest comfort and satisfaction, it is very important.
While chatting, he remembered that Xiangyang’s wife was an actress in the information, and he said with a smile:
"My wife and family have just finished watching "Black Swan" which is currently being screened. They really appreciate your performance in it."
Hearing this, Liu Qianqian pursed her lips.
She didn’t believe it.
That’s right~
As Mrs. Xiang, she can see through but not expose.
"I hope you and your delegation will be satisfied with today's lunch."
"Of course."
"." Looking around, Xiang Yang swallowed.
That’s not right.
How do you feel, I have nothing to do here?
Me.
