Corinthia Hotel.

In the conference room provided by the hotel, Li Changqing and Chen Dongcheng reported the latest progress of the negotiations.

The ENIC Group was interested in Li Changqing's offer.

It's not easy for Tottenham to find the right buyer.

Zuckerberg was more interested, but he only made an offer once, and he was directly gone.

Therefore, Tottenham Hotspur fell into a situation of no price for a while.

The shareholder composition of the ENIC Group is simple, with Lewis, the majority shareholder, holding 70.6% of the shares, and the minority shareholder, Levi, holding 29.4%.

Levy doesn't really want to sell Tottenham now, and even if he does, he will have to wait until the new stadium is built, and he will definitely be able to sell it for a good price at that time.

But the big boss Lewis has a strong willingness to make a move, he has little interest in football, and is a typical speculator.

At the beginning, he was optimistic about the potential of the Premier League and bought the shares of Tottenham.

Compared with the original payment of more than 20 million pounds, I don't know how many times it has now.

Li Changqing concluded: "Now the main problem is the quotation, and Levy bites it more deadly.

Not only do you have to pay a billion pounds, but you also have to take on 400 million pounds in debt.

You also need to continue to hire him as CEO of Tottenham Hotspur and earn at least £5 million a year. ”

Chen Dongcheng frowned, he had read Levi's information, and he was a very shrewd Jew.

But the conditions offered by the other party are too shameless.

With a salary of five million pounds a year, do you really use him as a stupid fork?

"I'll look for another professional manager, and he's going to have to fuck me off. ”

Chen Dongcheng refused without hesitation, among the CEOs of major clubs in the Premier League.

Three million pounds, all well-deserved high salaries.

Not to mention five million pounds, that's sky-high.

Li Changqing was not surprised that Chen Dongcheng chose to refuse, and he also felt that Levy's conditions were too harsh.

"They seem to have some problems in this stadium?"

Chen Dongcheng pointed to Li Changqing's investigation materials.

'Yes, Tottenham have too few fans to accommodate at the old stadium.

Fans have been hoping that the team will expand with a new stadium.

Although the stadium applied for construction relatively early, the United Kingdom also successfully passed the mandatory land purchase policy.

However, not long ago, Tottenham's stadium construction was suddenly halted by the British High Court.

The exact timing of the resumption of construction is unknown, and the worst consequence is that construction costs will skyrocket.

The stadium that could have been done with 600 million pounds is estimated to add hundreds of millions of pounds in cost. ”

After hearing this, Chen Dongcheng was thoughtful and asked, "So, now Lewis's willingness to make a move is very strong?"

"According to our analysis, the construction cost of the stadium is too high, it could crush Tottenham, and there will be no profitability for a long time to come. ”

Li Changqing paused and continued: "And after we took a closer look, we found that the evaluation of Levy in the Tottenham team is also very bad.

Many players have asked for a pay rise, and Levy has been forceful in refusing.

This has caused many players to have a very serious resistance mentality.

We suspect that allowing Levy to stay at the helm for so long could have a worse impact on the team's record. ”

The reason why Tottenham are not giants is simple.

You've seen a few wealthy families, picking and searching.

Even if Real Madrid builds a stadium, it does not prevent people from buying it, this is a giant.

It seems that Levy has helped Tottenham stabilize the rankings and shrink his food and clothing every year, which is a lot of credit.

But it's all in time, and the players aren't stupid.

Looking at people who are not as good as themselves, with twice their salary, who can be willing to kick down sincerely?

Chen Dongcheng put a big X on Levi's name with a black pen.

Obviously, after he bought Tottenham, the first person to be sacked was Levy.

There are many capable managers, and what Chen Dongcheng needs is his absolute control of the club.

A cancer like Levi must be removed as soon as possible.

"You go to Lewis and tell him that my patience is limited.

Also, you're starting to make contact with Liverpool, isn't that owner interested in selling as well?"

Li Changqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact you." ”

"Go and wait for your good news. ”

Since Chen Dongcheng has come to London, he must do things well before leaving.

In addition to the acquisition of Tottenham, Chen Dongcheng intends to buy a property in the United Kingdom.

Occasionally, there is a place to stay.

Before coming, Chen Dongcheng determined the criteria for purchasing real estate.

First of all, the price cannot be less than ten million pounds.

Otherwise, it will be exposed by the media, and the villa where the Tottenham boss lives does not even have 10 million pounds.

That's a shame.

Secondly, the location of the villa is best in a neighborhood with more mature commercial facilities, not too far from the city center.

Generally, luxury homes that meet these labels have a common characteristic, that is, expensive!

I had nothing to do, made an appointment with a real estate agent, and Chen Dongcheng took Xie Jingyu and them to see the house.

The hotel provided a Rolls-Royce as a courtesy car for Chen Dongcheng, who stayed in the presidential suite.

With a room fee of 200,000 one night, it is not an exaggeration to regard Chen Dongcheng as a god.

......

Kensington neighborhood.

Rolls-Royce found a place to stop, Chen Dongcheng got out of the car and walked, visiting the most traditional rich area of London.

London is one of the richest people in the world and one of the most popular cities for home investment.

The influx of wealthy people has also pushed up house prices in London.

The man who showed him was a blonde white guy in his twenties, his name was Dylan, and he smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth.

Dylan is very talkative, and after learning that Chen Dongcheng is Chinese, he is even more enthusiastic.

In recent years, in addition to the Middle East and Russia, a group of local tyrants will come to the UK to buy real estate.

There are also many wealthy people in China who have bought real estate in the UK.

Dylan had previously served a wealthy man from China and helped him buy a villa.

It was a villa of tens of millions of pounds, and the other party didn't even blink an eye.

For the first time, Dylan felt the wealth of the Oriental tyrant.

"Mr. Chen, the Kensington neighborhood is full of businessmen and celebrities, and the famous football star David Beckham has also bought a property here.

After Beckham appeared, many landlords in the Kensington neighborhood raised the asking price of their homes.

You can see the prosperity and scarcity of Kensington's neighborhood. ”

Dylan took Chen Dongcheng to the door of the villa that Beckham bought.

The location is amazing indeed, right next to Holland Park.

If you live here, open the yard gate and step into Holland Park and smell the freshest air.

Dylan's eyes couldn't hide his envy, don't look at him often going in and out of major mansions.

But the price of this kind of mansion is something he can't afford in his life.

"Fuck the world, David Beckham spent £31.5 million and since he moved in, the house has become more valuable!"

Dylan's tone was a little sour, it was too easy for rich people to make money.

As a low-level person, he wants to sell a house, and he doesn't know how much tongue he wastes.

Even so, there is still little hope for a house to buy.

Perhaps, the welfare housing on the ground floor is his home.

In order to solve the dissatisfaction of the people at the bottom, the UK requires real estate developers to set aside a certain percentage of social housing in the area they develop for local low-income people.

As a result, the original low-income people in many areas can live in the same community as the newly moved high-income people.

Chen Dongcheng listened to Dylan's half-grumbling and half-flattering narration all the way before he felt the more naked class division abroad.

People like Dylan can live in the same community as the rich.

But the rich live in million-pound cottages, they live in ordinary small apartments.

Not to mention that the children of the rich will all be classmates in the same elite private boarding school.

Most universities study subjects such as law, medicine, or political economy.

After graduation, this group of second-generation Bai Fumei and handsome rich people who work silently are likely to easily get internship positions in large companies or parliamentarians' offices.

Most of the families living in public rental housing and welfare housing are engaged in occupations such as plumbers and taxi drivers.

Their children receive low-cost government education.

For example, Dylan is, who came out to work after graduating from high school.

Because of his family, he simply couldn't support him to continue his college studies.

Dylan is relatively healthy and has a fighting heart.

"I made an appointment with Kareda that I would be able to go to the Merchant Square, two kilometres away from the Greenfield Building. Buy an apartment that belongs to us. ”

Greenfield Building is a welfare house for the ground floor in Kensington, London.

Merchant Square is a high-rise luxury condominium that has recently been under construction.

The smallest one-bedroom apartment also sells for more than £1 million.

For ordinary people, it is difficult to buy a high-end apartment like this.

Dylan was very professional when he introduced it, and he paid attention to Chen Dongcheng's dress.

Patek Philippe on the wrist, bodyguards and secretaries on his feet are all worth Dylan's hard selling.

After looking at a few houses, the Kensington neighborhood is indeed full of businessmen and celebrities.

However, the surrounding noise problem is also very serious.

Dylan was also helpless: "Many Middle Eastern oil tycoons will come to London in the summer and drive gold-plated Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini to blow up the streets.

Kensington is also the busiest neighbourhood in London, which is an unavoidable problem. ”

Let's put it this way, in Kensington, which is full of rich people, the streets are full of money.

Chen Dongcheng doesn't want to spend tens of millions of pounds to buy a house, and listen to others bomb the streets every day, so it's not that he is looking for guilt.

Dylan had more than one house in his hands, and then took Chen Dongcheng to the Chelsea neighborhood.

Compared to Kensington, the Chelsea neighborhood is more low-key and reserved.

It's just that there is a low-key and introverted house, and it is a house built in the 17th century at every turn, and Chen Dongcheng feels that it is too old.

And one thing to consider is that once he lives in the Chelsea neighborhood as the owner of Tottenham, it is inevitable that there will be some extreme fans who pick on him.

Chen Dongcheng interrupted Dylan's introduction and asked, "Are there any other villas?"

"Well, yes, but the price of that villa is very expensive. ”

Dylan hesitated, but decided to take Chen Dongcheng to see the house.

The houses introduced to Chen Dongcheng before were all about 10 million pounds, and Dylan felt that Chen Dongcheng should have the buying power.

"Mr. Chen, this house was purchased by a Greek real estate developer in 13 years.

At that time, the purchase price was £14 million, and now the offer is £30 million. ”

The mansion Dylan is talking about, is located on a tree-lined avenue in St. John's Wood.

St John's Wood is more historic for London.

From the early 19th century, St John's Wood was one of the first suburbs in London to build a large number of low-density "villas".

It is the exact opposite of the terraced houses that prevailed in affluent areas in the 19th century.

It is precisely because of the low population density that a large number of wealthy people and celebrities buy real estate.

This has also led to house prices in this area, which are no worse than those in Kensington and Chelsea.

Dylan deliberately took Chen Dongcheng to see the place where the Beatles recorded, and some scattered tourists happened to visit here.

However, compared to the number of tourists in Kensington, it is less than a fraction of the other party.

Although St John's Wood is not far from central London, St John's Wood has a more rural and idyllic feel than the crowded, modern city.

This is a wonderful dream home for many wealthy people who are not willing to give up the prosperity of the city and are eager to return to the countryside.

The car stopped at the gate of the villa, and after a little waiting, a balding middle-aged white man walked over.

He is the manager appointed by the Greek real estate developer and is responsible for regularly cooperating with the agent to view the property.

Dylan humbly greeted the balding white man and stuffed him with two hundred pounds as a hardship fee.

The balding white man was satisfied, and opened the black iron door of the villa.

The villa is 25,000 square feet, which is equivalent to 3.5 acres.

But this is London, the St John's Wood area where land is at a premium.

There are only a handful of villas of this size.

At first glance, the four pillars with Roman characteristics are magnificent.

Dylan pushed open the door, and Chen Dongcheng walked into the villa.

In a 13-meter-high foyer, there is a golden crystal lamp on the head.

This foyer leads to a marble spiral staircase leading upstairs, and there is an elevator up and down 5 floors.

A few steps away, there is a very formal living room on the side, with a very unique and delicate pink carpet.

The sofa brands are naturally owned by top luxury brands, and the texture is very good.

The living room is directly connected to the dining room, and Gaggenau's built-in refrigerator is unsurprisingly quietly placed there.

The design of the smart study room is very novel, and the wrap-around bookcase is full.

Due to London's height limit, the basements of many mansions can be said to rack the brains of designers.

This mansion is no exception, with a fourteen-metre-long heated swimming pool in the basement with a Jacuzzi.

There is a small bar by the pool, think of swimming tired and sitting there for a drink.

Watch your beloved woman swim comfortably in the pool......

Chen Dongcheng suddenly woke up, and almost was corrupted by this kind of extravagance, his pure heart.

What a pool party, I never thought about it......

Chen Dongcheng hurriedly shifted his gaze and didn't dare to look at the pool again.

The rest of the design is still worthy of the standards of the top luxury house.

Ten bedrooms, each designed as a suite.

A very formal family bar with a wine storage room that can store about three or four thousand bottles of good wine.

There are all kinds of gyms, saunas, game rooms, and family video rooms.

What Chen Dongcheng likes the most is the underground garage of the villa.

The hydraulic lift has the capacity to accommodate four vehicles, and the underground garage is located behind the glass windows of the passageway.

Imagine you go for a swim in the heated pool, holding a glass of the best vintage red wine from the five major wineries, and look at the supercar under your name behind the glass window......

It is estimated that this should be the life that most people dream of.

After Chen Dongcheng read it, he made up his mind directly, and that's it.

What is the price......

When a man buys himself a beloved gift, he still needs to look at the price?
