Chapter 316: Preparation

"Viscount Nelson, you have worked so hard. It's a reception to celebrate the team's Champions League triumph, but you're still distracted by the affairs of these clubs. As soon as he sent off Tamim Althani, who had come to congratulate him as a representative of the Qatar Investment Authority, George heard a voice that was not unfamiliar to him from behind him, "If it were me, I guess I would have been overwhelmed by these tedious things." ”

"Your Highness has an overreputation. George chuckled and turned around, while holding his glass and touching it lightly with Prince William, taking a sip and saying, "Who made me the owner and manager of Tottenham Hotspur? It's my responsibility as a club owner and I'm not going to put it on anyone else. ”

Although George always said that he wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and there were many capable subordinates under him, the actual situation was that as long as it was within the scope of George's responsibility, he never prevaricated once, and at worst, he would first negotiate a general framework with the other party, and then let his subordinates play freely within this framework. This is the main reason why John Smith and Adele have never really expressed their dissatisfaction with George, despite verbally complaining that George always throws work at them - it is not easy for George, who now has a big family and clearly intends to devote most of his energy to coaching the team. If he is asked to take on more work, I am afraid that George will die like Zhuge Wuhou!

"Haha, if you really regard me as a friend, then don't call me Your Highness, just call me William. Although the British royal family has always paid attention to etiquette, and the rules are cumbersome to the point of making people's scalps tingle, as the younger generation of the royal family, Prince William, who is two years younger than George, does not have extremely strict requirements for these rules like his grandmother, the current Queen Elizabeth II. Not to mention, George's reply just now was also quite in line with Prince William's appetite and values, which aroused the latter's desire to further befriend George, "After all, this is just a private conversation between the two of us, not a formal meeting, there is no need to follow such rules, doing so will only ruin the atmosphere of this conversation." ”

"In that case, then I might as well be respectful. Correspondingly, William, you can also call me George directly. Seeing Prince William say this, George couldn't help but smile and respond, and changed his name by the way. Although the British royal family does not have a lot of money, and even faces the embarrassment of making ends meet every year, no one dares to despise them because of this. Even in this day and age, the British royal family still has a fairly prominent social position and strong influence in the world. Therefore, for the matter of building a good relationship with the royal family, George can be said to be happy to see it.

After a brief exchange of courtesies, the two sides sat down in a remote location and began to chat unhurriedly. From Tottenham's Champions League tribulation this season, to George's help in the run-up to the Olympic bid, Prince William spoke highly of George's contributions to English football and British sporting in warm but unobtrusive terms. In the face of Prince William's praise, George did not show a swaggering attitude because of this, but humbly said that this is what he should do......

As the so-called sedan chair carries people. Since the other party took the lead in expressing goodwill to him, then George would not be stupid enough to refuse Prince William and the British royal family behind him. Therefore, George will spend time and the other party to blow each other in such a wave of business to increase the favorability between each other.

"George, to be honest, I really admire you. At this time, Prince William said in a sincere tone, "You also know that although we royal family members seem to be in a tight situation, the funds we can mobilize are actually very small, and most of the income is used for various charitable donations and the maintenance of real estate. So, it's a shame to compare yourself to George, who built a family business worth tens of billions of dollars in his early twenties and achieved this without any family support. “

"William, you're being too humble. Knowing that the other party was about to turn the topic on the right track, George hurriedly said, "If there is anything that you or the royal family need my help with, just mention it, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help!"

"By the way, the Prince of Kent and I have mentioned that George is planning to discuss the purchase of Kensington Palace with Her Majesty after the Champions Cup final. Seeing the hint given by George, Prince William did not continue to go around in circles, and took the initiative to clarify the true intention of his trip, "Now that Tottenham has won the Champions League and the 04-05 season has all ended, can we talk about this matter?"

Seeing Prince William mention the matter of Kensington Palace, George immediately had a bottom in his heart and knew how to deal with the young man in front of him.

George knew very well in his heart that Prince William would take the initiative to find him, not only to congratulate him and get closer to him, but also to discuss more important things with him. Looking at it now, his hunch is indeed not wrong, Prince William came here to discuss with him how to solve the sale of Kensington Palace without the bottom line of all parties!

Taking Kensington Palace was a plan that George had developed after learning that the British royal family was interested in selling the palace. However, in the past few years, he has not taken any real action on this. Because although the British royal family has been trying to sell Kensington Palace at a high price for the sake of throttling, in order to alleviate the serious shortage of liquidity in the royal family, the conditions they offered are really unacceptable to George - they want to make a lot of money from me, and they don't plan to sell the entire ownership of this palace to me, they just want to give me the right to use it for a period of time, and the royal family can also share the full right to use Kensington Palace during this time, you guys are too beautiful, right?!

You know, in George's plan, Kensington Palace is one of the main private residences after his marriage to Ellie, and secrecy and security must be the two things that must be emphasized. And if he accepts the conditions offered by the British royal family, then these two things are impossible to talk about at all!

It is precisely for this reason that George has not started any substantive negotiations with the British royal family on the matter of Kensington Palace, but has chosen the strategy of avoiding discussions, deliberately throwing this matter aside and ignoring it.

The reason why George decided this way is because after leading Tottenham to win the Champions League, he is going to use this championship trophy as a gift to propose to Eli! In this case, he naturally wants to buy Kensington Palace, which he has long fancied, on the agenda, so as to prepare for the next marriage proposal!

In this way, between three words, the two reached a preliminary consensus on the transfer of Kensington Palace. Prince William, who had consulted Elizabeth II in advance, no longer insisted on the previous condition of selling only the right to use it for a certain period of time, and agreed to George's request to buy the permanent ownership of Kensington Palace, and in exchange, George said that Kensington Palace would be remodeled after that, and part of the palace would be isolated for the residence of members of the royal family!

As for the specific matters next, there is no need for bigwigs of the level of George and Prince William to go down in person, and it is completely okay to leave it to those professionals under his command to deal with it.
