Chapter 163: The Joy of Housewarming
George chose to travel to Boyd Layden at this time because he had just received news from Adele that the acquisition and renovation of the entire estate had been completed earlier this day, just waiting for him and Elizabeth, the two new owners, to move in!
In order to decorate this nest of love with Elizabeth, and also to conform to the mainstream ideas of the traditional British aristocratic circle, George can be said to have spent a lot of money this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Not to mention, George spent Ā£150 million on the purchase of the Boyd Layden estate alone, not counting the renovation and renovation costs after the purchase of the estate. If that part of the cost is also taken into account, then George will spend a whole hundred million pounds more on this new home!
Considering that none of the previous owners of Boyd Layden Manor have left behind to modernize the estate, George's spending on the estate can be said to be extremely staggering.
In this regard, the British royal family, who failed to promote Kensington Palace, was naturally full of envy, jealousy and hatred. Although the total value of the assets in the name of the British royal family is as high as 60 billion pounds, most of them are real estate and various treasures that cannot be realized or cashed out, and the liquidity that can be used freely is extremely limited. So all along, the British royal family wanted to be able to sell Kensington Palace to George for a large sum of cash and at the same time cut huge maintenance costs.
Especially when George bought Boyd Layden Manor and spent more than £200 million on it, the eyes of the British royal family were green - and the royal family now regrets that they could not sell Kensington Palace to George. Otherwise, with George's handwriting, it is conservatively estimated that it can be exchanged for at least 400 million pounds.
Now that the manor has been renovated and all the hardware and software facilities have been updated, it is natural that George will hold a private banquet to celebrate the housewarming.
However, to George's surprise, after he told Adele about this plan, he was severely despised by his sister!
"I knew that you shouldn't be held responsible for something like this, brother. Seeing the surprised expression on George's face, Adele still didn't know what her brother thought, "There is really nothing wrong with holding a banquet to celebrate after buying the manor, and it is also a common practice in the aristocratic world. But, brother, the people you plan to invite to this banquet are a little too unruly, right?"
"This ...... I guess there shouldn't be any problem, right?" George hesitated for a moment in response to Adele's question, and said, "Adele, who do I invite to the banquet at my manor, this should be my freedom, right?"
"Maybe it's okay in your eyes, brother, but it's not the same in the eyes of others. Adele sighed, secretly saying that she was really careless, knowing that the other party was not conscious in this regard, she hadn't paid much attention to it, "Let's put it this way, if you invite your players and the owners of Premier League clubs to this banquet, then after the banquet, you will definitely be criticized as the host." This is because there is a considerable gap between the two sides in terms of identity, and they stand at opposite ends of each other in terms of status. So, if they show up at your private party, not only will the players feel quite uncomfortable, but the Premier League owners who have been invited will also feel offended and complain about your brother. ā
"Then Adele, according to your opinion, how should this banquet be organized, and who should be invited to attend?" Knowing that he had made another mistake, George immediately humbly asked his sister for advice. In this regard, Adele is much more professional than him.
"Hmm...... If I were to organise it, I would invite the owners and executives of 20 Premier League clubs, the major directors of Premier League companies, and the main sponsors of the Premier League. Dude, when you run Tottenham Hotspur, you need to deal with these people a lot, so they have to take the opportunity to build a good relationship and win them over. Adele pondered for a moment, and quickly gave a rough plan, "In addition, this banquet is best hosted by Sister Eli." As my future sister-in-law and mistress of the estate, Sister Eli's status and position are best suited for the position, and there will certainly be no resentment in the face of this arrangement. ā
"Why do you have to invite so many people?" George was taken aback by Adele's words. You know, in George's initial plan, he only planned to invite some people who were close to him, such as Bobby Robson, Alex Ferguson, Roman Abramovich and Cristiano Ronaldo, to communicate with them at the banquet, but he did not have the idea of calling all the owners of the 20 Premier League clubs, let alone inviting the board members of the Premier League companies and those major sponsors.
"Of course, if you don't invite them to participate, I think these people will be dissatisfied with you in their hearts, or suspect that you are secretly planning something against them in the name of this banquet. Adele punctured the omissions in George's plan, and then added, "Also, the security forces around the manor need to be strengthened." Although the location of Boyd Layden Manor is private enough, and the large oak forest around it has been bought by us, in order to guard against those pervasive paparazzi, it seems that the geographical environment and laws and regulations alone are not enough. ā
"By the way, if you want to hold a large-scale banquet of this scale, then the manor is probably a little understaffed now. Adele, who was immersed in thought, didn't notice that George, who was already dumbfounded, just sat on the sofa and began to calculate, "There should be enough high-quality staff to rent from the Langham, but in this way, those reporters are likely to find an opportunity to sneak in here, and the privacy of the banquet will be greatly affected......
"Okay, okay, Adele, you still have to discuss these things with Eli, and I won't get involved. If there is something that requires me to come forward, you can notify me directly when the time comes. Confused by Adele's tirade, George decisively became the shopkeeper and handed over the decision-making power to Adele on all matters related to this banquet.
At this time, no one, including George and Adele, could have predicted that this large banquet held at Boyd Layden Manor in the name of celebrating George's housewarming would become a custom after its great success, and it would be held at the estate once before the start of each season, becoming a top social event that celebrities from all walks of life flock to!
