Now that the banquet has officially ended, it means that it is time for the guests to leave. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After saying goodbye to the two hosts, George and Elizabeth, the guests invited to the banquet left the banquet hall that could accommodate nearly 1,000 people under the guidance of the butlers, and drove away from the Boyd Leiden Manor, which left a deep impression on them.

"Haha, David (Dane), we really didn't come for nothing this time!" Inside the car, Hillwood said to his CEO with a smug face, "You say, if George Nelson knew that he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to make us such a banquet, but made us a wedding dress, would he be mad?"

At the banquet, Hillwood secured a loan from Barclays Bank, successfully closing some of the funding gap needed to build the new course. That's why Hillwood is in such a good mood now, and he is no longer as gloomy as he was when he lost the Community Shield title before.

"Uh, boss, I don't think that's going to happen. In any case, Viscount Nelson should have expected this beforehand. After all, it's normal for this kind of thing to happen at a banquet. Listening to Hillwood's remarks, David Dane couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and at the same time quietly swallowed the second half of the unspoken sentence back into his stomach, and then flattered his boss, "If it weren't for the boss and you got such a huge amount of money from Barclays Bank, we would probably still be worrying about raising the funds needed to build a new stadium." ”

"Haha, it's still David, what you say is most in line with my heart. Hillwood smiled smugly, feeling very useful for Dane's flattery, "David, the loan contract with Barclays Bank must be finalized as soon as possible, so as not to have too many troubles in the night." I'm worried that if someone else finds out about this, they will find a way to stumble over the construction of the new stadium. ”

If Hillwood had known that Barclays chairman Marcus Aggis had approached George at a banquet to win a place on Tottenham's chest with an eight-year, £60 million contract, and that he had struggled to get a £50 million loan from Barclays, secured by future ticket revenues for the new stadium, the Arsenal president would not have been as happy as he is now.

In fact, a club of Arsenal's caliber shouldn't have to worry about the funding of building a new stadium. With the Gunners' outstanding performances in the domestic arena, the soaring TV broadcast fees of the Premier League, and the high enthusiasm of Premier League fans, it is not a problem to repay these hundreds of millions of pounds in loans.

The main reason why Arsenal's efforts to raise funds have become so difficult is that the construction of the new stadium has been delayed for a variety of unexpected reasons, which has seriously undermined many investors' confidence in Arsenal's ability to repay the loan - the delay in the completion date means that the Gunners will have more time to return the funds. For investors and banks, this kind of project that cannot recover the invested funds on time is undoubtedly a very bad kind of investment, because this often puts extremely great pressure on their capital turnover!

While Hillwood and the others were leaving Leyden Manor in their cars, no one noticed that there were several fewer cars leaving the manor than when they came—although Abramovich, Kenyon, Ferguson, and David Gill, who had been informed by George in advance, had also walked out of the banquet hall with the large army under the guidance of the butler, on the way out, the group cleverly took advantage of the fork in the manor and the diversion of people to sneak back unconsciously, and finally came to the door of a smoking room.

"Good evening, gentlemen. Seeing that Abu and the others had finally arrived, George, who had been waiting in the smoking room for a long time, greeted with a smile, "Welcome to the Humble House again, I hope you can have a pleasant night here." ”

"George, this manor you bought is really good. I didn't pay attention when I came, and I didn't realize until just now that the exterior decoration should be from the volcanic rock of Spain, and the floor of the whole house should be made of the finest teak from Burma, right?" Although it was getting late, Abu did not immediately ask George why he had called them here, but tacitly talked about other topics that had nothing to do with the matter - in the eyes of the Russians, since George, who was the initiator of the talks, was not in a hurry to get to the point, then there was no need for him to be too concerned about this issue.

"That's right, it's really Roman, you have the most vision. Glancing at Abu rather in surprise, George quickly collected his expression and replied with a smile, "These volcanic rock exterior decorations and teak floors are difficult for those who don't know how to see with their own eyes. I didn't expect you to see it at a glance, Roman, it's amazing!"

"Cut, George, don't always think of me as one of those vulgar and ignorant nouveau riche. Abu pursed his lips and said in a disdainful tone, "Although my background is not good, I have also made up for it in this regard. ”

"Haha, it's my fault this time, don't underestimate Roman's ability. Seeing Abu's reaction, George smiled and apologized to the other party, and then said, "Come, I'll give you this bottle of red wine as compensation." Although it's not Roman's favorite French grey goose, it's definitely a top-notch good product. ”

"Hey, it's not Lafite from 1982, it's Romanée Conti from 1987?" George, isn't it that your compensation is too insincere?" Abu said, looking at the label on the wine. Of course, if Abu's expression wasn't so fake, or if the people present didn't often come into contact with the circle of high society, maybe the Russians' acting skills could really deceive many people.

"Don't talk nonsense, how can that kind of goods be on my table?" Seeing Abu's contrived performance, George didn't know that the other party was deliberately retaliating against his previous remarks, and glanced at the Russians angrily, and said, "Don't tell me that you don't know that the 82-year-old Lafite is just a hyped fame and is used to fool those nouveau riche who don't know how to do it." The 1987 Romanée Conti is the best wine, and if you don't like it, I won't give it to you. ”

"I was just kidding, George, don't take it seriously. Hearing George say this, Abu hurriedly snorted, hurriedly handed the red wine in his hand to Kenyon beside him to put it away, and replied with a straight face, not seeing any dislike for wine at all.
