Chapter 1548: Buckingham Palace

Li Mu searched around the Internet and found that most of the future superstars in football are now cheaper than cabbage, which makes him feel like he has discovered a new continent.

Interestingly, Li Mu also found Neymar's information on the Internet, Neymar, who just turned 11 this year, has joined the Brazilian Santos club and became a member of the Santos junior team, although he only appeared once on the official website of the Santos club in an article about the junior team, and there was not even a photo, but Li Mu can be sure that Neymar, who just joined the Santos junior team, is the Brazilian genius in the future.

A talented teenager like this, you might as well let him hone and hone in Santos, and wait another three or five years to sign it.

Li Mu also knows that he doesn't have enough energy, if he really lets himself manage the club, I'm afraid he will pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon, so he is only ready to do two things for the club, one is to invest, the other is to select players, as for the rest, it can only be handed over to professional managers to manage.

The morning before leaving for Manchester, William had been waiting there for a long time when Li Mu arrived at the restaurant accompanied by Wendy.

Seeing Li Mu come in, he took the initiative to stand up, beckoned to Li Mu, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, do you want to have breakfast together?"

Li Mu smiled slightly, nodded politely, and sat opposite William.

William smiled: "Mr. Li, why haven't I seen you participate in any activities these days?"

Li Mu laughed at himself and said, "I'm not very interested in the activities that everyone is keen on, so I didn't participate." ”

William said: "Golf and equestrian, since Mr. Li is not interested, it is better to find a time to play futsal, Mr. Li should like football, right?"

Li Mudao: "I like to watch football, but if I really want to play, I can't even bring the ball." ”

After that, Li Mu said again: "And I have to leave tomorrow, so let's wait until I have a chance to talk about it later." ”

"Leaving tomorrow?" William asked in surprise, "Why so suddenly?"

Li Mu said: "I'm going to Manchester tomorrow. ”

"To Manchester?" William wondered even more, what was there in Manchester worth going to Li Mu?

Li Mu saw his puzzlement, and he didn't deliberately hide it, so he said: "I asked Davidson to help buy a Premier League club, and I plan to go over tomorrow to take a look." ”

William immediately thought of the news he had just heard, the Goldberg family had bought Manchester City Club, which turned out to be for Li Mu.

Thinking of the task given to him by the family a few days ago, William said: "Mr. Li, on behalf of the Windsor family, I want to invite you to Buckingham Palace as a guest, I wonder if you have time in the UK this time?"

The Windsor family is the British royal family, and William, as a member of the royal family, invites himself on behalf of the royal family, which is very grand in terms of etiquette, but if he does not go to Goldberg Manor, Li Mu may still be interested in the British royal family and Buckingham Palace, but after coming here, Li Mu realized that the royal family is actually nothing unusual, and their pursuit of fame and fortune is even more fierce than that of entrepreneurs and capitalists.

William, for example, has made Titter his home on the Internet since he earned millions of followers while lying on the Titter.

William not only publishes at least five to ten Titters a day, each of which is very carefully worded, infinitely close to a formal press release, and most of the content revolves around the British royal family, and at a glance it is clear that his Titter has become an online propaganda self-media platform for the entire British royal family.

And the entire British royal family is not only William who has joined the Titter, most of the members of the Windsor family who have heads and faces have opened their own Titter, and even the Queen has opened a Titter named after her, and it is updated every day.

Now, the Windsor family wants to invite themselves to Buckingham Palace as a guest, and you don't have to think about it to know that this is a very topical thing in itself, and if you agree, the news of your visit to Buckingham Palace will inevitably become a hot topic in the whole of Britain and even the whole of Europe.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Mu is a hot topic in the news wherever he goes now, and there are naturally countless people who want to rub it.

Although he was not very interested in the royal family, Li Mu thought about it carefully and decided to accept William's invitation, not to have a good relationship with the royal family, but to gain the recognition and support of the British people, so that he could also accumulate enough fan base for Manchester City Club, otherwise, with the proud character of the British, it is estimated that Manchester City Club will end up with a similar fate to Chelsea after it is officially announced to be its own.

It is said that the British at that time, except for Chelsea's own fans, everyone watched Chelsea's games and unconsciously became the opponent's home team fans, hoping to see Chelsea lose, as long as Chelsea lost, they were happy.

It's not that they have any objections to Abu, but that they have a huge resistance to foreign capital buying British clubs, so Li Mu is also worried that once the news of his becoming the owner of Manchester City is released, British fans will boycott Manchester City like they boycott Chelsea.

Since the British generally respect their royal family, being a guest of their royal family can also make the British more recognized.

Thinking of this, Li Mu already had a plan in his heart, at this time, Anne Hathaway came to the restaurant in a black dress, saw Li Mu, looked at him and smiled, and then unnaturally combed the hair around his ears, and came to Li Mu and William elegantly.

Since Li Mu realized that the Goldberg family deliberately neglected Anne Hathaway, he paid extra attention to Anne Hathaway, but whenever he left his room and carried out any project, Li Mu would take Anne Hathaway with him, so as not to let her suffer a cold here, so in the past few days, Anne Hathaway has basically been with Li Mu for three meals a day, which made her mood suddenly clear and happy.

After Anne Hathaway and the two exchanged good mornings, they sat on Li Mu's left hand side, and Li Mu said to her: "Anne, Prince William wants to invite us to Buckingham Palace as guests, what do you think?"

"Going to Buckingham Palace?" Anne Hathaway looked particularly surprised, but after a moment returned to normal, and said, "But didn't you say you were going to Manchester tomorrow? ”

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Manchester is definitely going to go, but the time can be adjusted slightly." ”

Anne Hathaway smiled and blinked: "Anyway, I have to take your plane back, so the specific itinerary is up to you, and you can arrange it however you want." ”

Prince William on the side looked at Li Mu with an expectant face, and asked again: "Mr. Li, what do you mean?"

Li Mu thought about it for a while, and said to William: "Thank you very much for the invitation, if you can, can the time be set for tomorrow morning? ”

William was overjoyed, but asked further: "Mr. Li is in such a hurry, I wonder if we can postpone our return to Manchester for a day, so that we can be properly entertained." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Don't be so polite, I was originally going to go directly to Manchester, stay for a day and then return to China, if I postpone my day to Manchester, the whole trip will be postponed, if I go to Buckingham Palace tomorrow morning to visit, and then rush to Manchester in the afternoon, then I can still take off and return to China in the night of the same day or the early morning of the next day." ”

William heard that Li Mu was eager to return to China, and also knew that Li Mu was willing to spare half a day to go to Buckingham Palace under such a tight time arrangement, which in itself was already very face-saving, and if he forced it again, it would be rude.

So, William said to Li Mu: "Since Mr. Li is in a hurry to leave, then I won't force it, I'll make a phone call to make arrangements, and we'll set off together early tomorrow morning." ”

Li Mu nodded and said indifferently: "No problem, I'll say hello to Dai Vinson later, and put the meeting with the club members in the afternoon." ”

……

Early the next morning, Davidson and Prince William's convoy was ready.

Although today's itinerary is a bit rushed, fortunately, the distance is not a detour.

Travelling from Goldberg Manor to Manchester via London, you can stop at Buckingham Palace to meet the British royal family and have lunch before departing for Manchester in the afternoon.

After a brief breakfast, Li Mu prepared to leave Goldberg Manor with Anne Hathaway and his entourage.

The entire Goldberg family basically showed up to see each other, and Wendy Gober said to Li Mu with a smile after wishing Li Mu a safe journey: "Mr. Li, I will go to Huaxia to study in September, and I will ask you to take care of it when the time comes." ”

Li Mu nodded generously and said with a smile: "Please contact me as soon as you arrive in Huaxia." ”

Subsequently, Li Mu and Prince William shared a bulletproof Jaguar sedan of the royal family, and Li Ziwei and Anne Hathaway shared a Jaguar sedan of the same model.

When leaving Goldberg Manor, Prince William's motorcade was in front, Davidson's motorcade was behind, and more than a dozen vehicles were driven by six police motorcycles and drove quickly towards Westminster, where Buckingham Palace is located.

On the way, William said to Li Mu very carefully: "Mr. Li, the family hopes to spread the news of your invitation to Buckingham Palace through the media, I don't know what you think?"

For the entire royal family, Li Mu's visit is a huge hot spot, and the royal family naturally hopes to be able to report on a large area to enhance the exposure and presence of the royal family, but the royal family also believes that this must first be approved by Li Mu, otherwise if this time he makes his own decisions and uses Li Mu to increase his exposure, then it is basically impossible to have any contact with Li Mu next time.

Li Mu has a very accurate grasp of the needs of the royal family, he knows that what the royal family needs is exposure, and he also hopes to use the royal family to enhance the recognition of the British people, so he will naturally not refuse.

So, he said to William: "It's okay to report the media, it's just that I'm in a hurry, so please don't arrange an interaction with reporters." ”

When William saw Li Mu agree, he was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Mr. Li, please rest assured, we will never arrange any interaction with reporters, and even during your visit to Buckingham Palace, we will not invite any media, but our own team of photographers will follow the whole process, and then provide the rough cut material to the media, at that time, you are afraid that you have already arrived in Manchester." ”

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "This is the best." ”
