Everyone's energy is limited.

Up to now, Jing Jian's industry has faintly become a giant, and what he needs is no longer to be investigated, but to choose benefit sharing.

The control of the overall strategy and the layout of the core industry must of course be firmly in Jingjian's own hands. And those secondary industries, like Liu Kai's Dahe Industry, simply let them become independent, or like Tian Pengfei and Ding Sheng, and give them power. Originally, power and money were not separated, as long as the core interests were not harmed, it was very helpless, even if these people embezzled and took bribes, Jing Jian would turn a blind eye. A boss who can't tolerate his subordinates' greed for small things will not be willing to follow you at all. This is the weakness of human nature, and when the water is clear, there are no fish!

Finally, there is the need to find business partners like Hofkin. Jing Jian can give up some of his benefits, but he also wants to get what he wants. If you can't achieve a win-win situation, why cling to a partner?

Obviously, Hofkin understood what Jing Jian meant. He said with a smile: "We at AGC have a lot of experience in stadium design and construction. The training base is located in the southern suburbs of Portsmouth, and 11 standard venues are planned. The total budget is £37 million. The location of the new stadium will be near the sea, 20 minutes' drive from the training base. There are two options: one with more than 31,000 seats and a budget of £84 million, and the other with 52,000 seats and a budget of £126 million. Of course, the specific design needs to be tendered, and you can also choose from the design scheme. Budgets may fluctuate. We at AGC can lead the financial street and raise £50 million to £80 million for you. ”

Jing Jian smiled slightly: "This can be determined first." I myself have no opinion on the training base. The stadium needs to be bigger, the kind with more than 50,000 seats. ”

"Absolutely, Bramble. "Are you interested?" with a £10 million investment in the construction of more than 800 apartment buildings on the site of the original Fratton Park stadium, as well as the construction of a marina, a hotel and a new commercial centre near the new stadium. You will receive 10% of the shares. The projected profit of the entire project will be more than £230 million before tax. ”

Jing Jian lit a cigarette and asked with a smile: "Have all the obstacles been solved?" This is the "reward" paid to Jing Jian. On the surface, it's really beautiful. In practice, however, there are certainly a number of pitfalls. Obviously, there must be collusion between officials and businessmen. And such collusion between officials and businessmen is in the name of the club's new stadium, and if it detonates, it may cause a fire. They were even pushed out by Hofkin as scapegoats. Therefore, Jing Jian needs to conduct a risk assessment.

Hovkin nodded: "It's basically settled." Bramble, I think we should be honest with each other. What we need most is to hurry up and ......" Then, Hofkin introduced some information to Jing Jian.

To put it simply, it is the reform of Britain's internal affairs. The city of Portsmouth will be upgraded to a single management district. Well, let's not use this awkward term, but explain it with something that can be understood. For example, the city of Portsmouth, which used to be administered by Hampshire, is now administered independently. It's like a mountain city, which used to belong to Sichuan Province and is now a municipality directly under the central government.

And in the UK, what difference does it make?

Such a huge investment plan also involves public projects, which in Western countries need to be approved by parliament. As a result, Hampshire's County Council approval is now required. In the future, to become a single management district, all that is required is the approval of the city council.

Obviously, the vast majority of the members of the County Council have nothing to do with the City of Portsmouth. As long as it's good for the local economy, it's easy to get approved. But instead of the city councils, to use the old saying – the vast majority of those councillors are the spokesmen of the capitalists. With the new commercial centers, what should the capitalists of the old commercial centers do? Don't stir up pornography? Are they worthy of the people of the motherland? Anyway, it's quite easy to fool the people who vote, and it's not environmentally friendly! What is transparent! If it weren't really useless, and women's rights, homosexuality, or animal protection were all used as justifications, then there would be no problem at all.

Doesn't it feel ridiculous? Actually, in this project, everyone has good intentions. Portsmouth can get development, citizens can get jobs, clubs can get new stadiums, Hofkin can get financial benefits, and even the mayor can get political achievements that will be beneficial to his re-election. However, as soon as democracy is reached, moths will emerge everywhere.

I can only sigh that those politicians in Europe, the United States and the West are increasingly playing with the rules of the democratic game. They have long since put aside the virtues of democracy. And they use democracy to make their own profits? They are playing more and more. It is really speechless that a good deed is not feasible to be above board, and it has turned into an interesting "insider trade".

What's even more ridiculous is that the Chinese people at this time still yearn for such a "paradise". This is even more true on Su Dong's side. However, it won't take many years, just look at the milk powder port and the tea egg island! their performance will be the best negative teaching material.

Jing Jian didn't care about the shortcomings of the British system. After hearing this, he weighed it and felt that there would not be any major problems. However, self-protection is still needed, nodding, Jing Jian smiled: "I don't need any shares, I plan to have a warehouse-style store in the commercial center, and I also need a cinema with full property rights." I can buy it at cost price. I will also be working with the publicity that White Lotus UK will be headquartered in Portsmouth and will have no less than 200 permanent employees over the next five years. ”

Anyway, if something happens, Jing Jian will spend money to buy it, and he can't catch any tricks on the transaction content. Insider trading? Why don't you go to the developer, why do you look for our owners?

Hofkin was quite satisfied, but he didn't expect to get more than expected: "We have already contacted another major shareholder of Daobao Cinemas Line who is also willing to transfer, £2.75 per share, or 34.7% of the total share capital. Excuse me, do you want to reduce your holdings somewhat, or do you want more than 51 per cent, and if it's a premium, even if it's 50 per cent, you'll need at least £80 million. "The UK stock market stipulates that more than 33% of major shareholders will either reduce their holdings to less than 33% or force their holdings to more than 51% of the simple majority.

"It's still 51 percent. Jing Jian decided. Although the value of the cinema chain is a little inflated, there are many cinemas in it that are fully owned by the cinema chain, and on the whole, it is quite cost-effective. Besides, Daobao is a listed company, so it is quite easy to raise funds or liquidate.

"That's good. This part can finance you in full. Please be polite. "Because Jing Jian's previous choice was a bit of a loss, so here, Hofkin made some compensation.

Jing Jian smiled and raised his glass: "That's a happy cooperation!"

"Cheers!"
