Chapter Thirty-Eight: Finding a Strong Woman for Chelsea 2
PS: Thank you very much!
Andrew asked Leo to contact Evelle for help in understanding how to implement her proposed plan for reforming the club.
In response to Andrew's request, Leo readily agreed, and contacted him immediately after lunch. The two of them are world friends, they are very familiar with each other, and their friendship is very strong.
Moreover, Ewell has been a little lonely and depressed recently due to setbacks. As a small hair, they are still looking for a way to enlighten her.
Now as the owner of Chelsea Football Club, Andrew. I was very interested in Ewell's plan to reform the club. That means that the Liverpool setback that Evel suffered is likely to materialise at Chelsea Football Club.
Before contacting Ewell, though. Leo still reminded Andrew that Ewell was keen on forming a women's soccer team.
Andrew is happy with the club's women's football team. The fan base is both male and female, and having a women's football team is a great thing for Chelsea Football Club to expand the make-up of the fan base.
Moreover, in the future, the consumption power of female fans will still be a very important part of the consumption of fan products.
At this moment, Emma came to the living room and beckoned everyone to get up and go to the dining room, where lunch would begin.
After lunch, Leo actively contacted Ewell and explained the reason. At this time, Ewell, who happened to be bored, immediately agreed to Leo, and agreed to meet at a nearby café in half an hour.
Leo saw an opportunity to get rid of accompanying the lady to the streets, and immediately offered to ask him to accompany Andrew and Ewell to meet and negotiate.
Half an hour later, Andrew and Leo walked to the agreed café early. At this time, there were not many customers in the café, and the two sat down in a prominent position, waiting for the arrival of Ewell.
After a while, a beautiful young woman dressed in fashion walked into the café in style, and after seeing Leo's location, she came straight to her.
The two men stood up and welcomed Ewell, and Leo, as an acquaintance of both parties, introduced the two to each other.
The three of them sat down, ordered coffee, and chatted leisurely. After greeting each other for a while, let's get to the point. Andrew first explained his philosophy on the management of football clubs, and expressed his interest in the club reform plan proposed by Ewell, and he was very interested in the specific implementation methods of the club reform plan.
Andrew's football club is very innovative. It also has a lot in common with Ewell's plan to reform the club.
In this regard, Ewell's conversation gradually began, and Andrew had a comprehensive discussion on the specific affairs in the operation of the football club.
In the discussion between the two, Ewell, the characteristics of a strong woman, showed that she was very decisive and principled in handling some specific affairs. For the different opinions on the handling of affairs with Andrew, he is also based on reason, completely putting himself in the position of the club manager and considering the handling of problems.
In this regard, Andrew admires Ewell's strong woman qualities, shrewd and capable, and sticking to principles. Such a club manager is very suitable for Andrew's positioning.
Andrew's position as a sole manager of the club is to follow Andrew's general direction. Independently formulate the specific development plan of the club, and handle the daily management of the club well.
Andrew doesn't have that much time to spend on Chelsea's specific development plans. He just needs to see the end result of the club's development.
When you meet a confidant, you will sigh that there are fewer glasses, and when you meet a confidant, you will sigh that time flies quickly.
By the time the two men and women with similar ideas had come to an end in their talk, nearly two hours had passed.
Andrew took into account the timing of his return to London, so he apologized for explaining the situation to Ewell. He also invited Ewell to visit Chelsea Football Club in the coming year and discuss it in detail again.
Unexpectedly, for Andrew's invitation, Ewell directly raised a premise question, whether Chelsea Football Club can accept the formation of a women's football team.
In response to Ewell's question about the formation of the women's football team, Andrew replied in the affirmative.
At this point, Ewell happily accepted Andrew's invitation.
Saying goodbye to Ewell, the two returned to Emma's house. By 4 p.m., Emma and her mother had come home shopping for their belongings. Andrew then said goodbye to Emma's family and returned to London.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Andrew returned home. His parents were in the living room, waiting for his return.
Have a late dinner and take a break. His father, Alan, recounted the purchase of a merchant's estate on the outskirts of London today.
Because, the businessman is in dire need of money, and the Smith family is the only clear potential buyer in the near future. After some negotiation, the final purchase price was £8.5 million. But the businessman has a request, that is, tomorrow, the purchase funds must be in place.
Andrew has no opinion on the timing of the funding requirements. Before Christmas, the matter of buying the manor was settled, which can be regarded as a Christmas blessing to the Smith family.
The next morning, Andrew went with his father and the family's legal adviser, Mr. Modi, to the merchant's estate outside London. After clarifying the delivery date of the manor and the ownership of the ancillary facilities and related items in the manor, the purchase agreement was signed.
With this purchase agreement, the two parties went to the estate department in London and changed the ownership of the estate. With the purchase funds paid, the transfer of the estate outside London was completed.
Twenty days later, the Smiths would officially take over the estate.
The lively and warm Christmas and New Year passed, and January 1976 arrived. The Christmas holidays will end tomorrow.
Andrew, who had been relaxing for a few days, after breakfast. In his room, he looked at the papers.
First thing to look at: New York futures gold, the price action in late December last year.
From December 20 last year to the end of the year, the last trading week of 1975, the price trend of gold in New York futures showed a significant acceleration of the downward price trend, and by the end of the year, the price of futures gold closed at $138 per ounce.
For futures gold in New York, Andrew's plan is to wait and see for the time being.
Next, check out: Mr. Henry of Hong Kong's detailed report on the exit funds of the Hong Kong stock market.
This time, according to Andrew's strategy, the holdings in the Hong Kong stock market, except for the shares of Wharf, continue to increase their holdings, and the other holdings have been successfully withdrawn.
From September '75 to the end of the year, Andrew's holdings were withdrawn from the Hong Kong stock market for a total of £350 million. Of this, £100 million has been transferred to a Middle East investment bank account. The remaining $130 million was transferred to a settlement account in New York.
Andrew checked his funds, and only $130 million in the settlement account in New York was available.
According to Andrew's plan, after the Chinese New Year, the construction plan for the three islands purchased in the Bahamas will start immediately. The yacht should be ordered immediately, and at least $50 million must be reserved. As for the purchase of the aircraft, it had to be postponed.
In the afternoon, Emma called and informed Andrew that she would be coming to London by train with Ewell tomorrow at 12 noon. He also revealed to Andrew that Evel intends to leave Liverpool, a frustrated and sad city, and has the idea of going to other cities to work again.
Hearing what Emma revealed about Ewell's thoughts, Andrew thought about it. Inviting Evel to join Chelsea Football Club was also a good choice.
Ewell can be put in charge of the affairs of the fans and the market development of fan supplies. In terms of these two matters, Ewell has a lot of experience.
Once she is familiar with these two matters, she can be put in charge of building the Chelsea women's football team. This is also Andrew's promise to her, the formation of the Chelsea women's football team, the actual arrangement supports.
At noon the next day, Andrew drove to meet the two ladies at the London train station. After arranging a hotel stay, a group of three, at Emma's suggestion, found a very distinctive restaurant and enjoyed the restaurant's characteristic lunch.
After lunch, the trio went to the hotel's casual café, where Andrew and Ewell talked about the business of the football club, which had not been discussed in the previous discussion at Liverpool.
Today is a lot of time. Therefore, the two of them who talked about sex started to comprehensively discuss the business development of Chelsea Football Club. and what to do with new fan markets around the world facing the future.
It took nearly three hours to talk about the two of them, and finally came to an end. Both agreed with each other's business development philosophy and specific implementation strategies and methods.
Taking advantage of the harmonious atmosphere at this time, Andrew made an offer to Evel for a job at Chelsea Football Club. After the two discussed the content of the work and reached a basic agreement, Ewell accepted Andrew's job offer.
Ewell will join Chelsea Football Club tomorrow and will be responsible for the development of the fan service and the market for fan supplies. and was responsible for the development of the Chelsea women's football team.
