From the 80s to the beginning of the century, England's best players were constantly emerging.

But the popularity of the league has attracted excellent players from all over the world, and on the contrary, there has been a fault line in England's homegrown players.

In the years after Rooney, only one Kane could still be seen.

But even in the nineties, when talent was abundant, Beckham was still a player that no player could match.

Although his fame is not more because of his skills, but because of his handsomeness.

In his previous life, Jonas had always disliked Beckham at first, believing that he was a star, not a real player.

He liked Baggio, Ronaldo, Zidane, Ronaldinho after he started watching football......

Until the end of Beckham's career, in the last half of his tenure at Real Madrid, he had been relegated from midfield to a central midfielder.

However, in the last six months of Real Madrid, he showed a player's fighting spirit of never giving up, which was very touching.

At the World Cup, when he was in his thirties and ran to the point of vomiting and set a world record for a footballer's run on the pitch, Jonas fell in love with him.

Not to mention Beckham's football skills, but this kind of professionalism is already admirable.

What's more, he is the most profitable player in the world, as long as he has him, Arsenal will not have to worry about losing money for the next ten years.

However, Jonas only remembers one of him, the other 92 generations, he only knows the name, and he doesn't know what he experienced before coming to Manchester United.

For now, having a David Beckham is enough.

Returning to the hotel from the restaurant, Edward stood up from the couch in the lobby and was greeted by Jonas who followed the door.

Outside the glass doors of the hotel, the flashing lights of the reporters were dazzling. The meeting of two high school classmates, whether it is a real friendship or superficial kung fu, deserves media attention.

Edward's eyes flashed, and when he entered the elevator, he rubbed his eyes and complained: "Jonas, you should have bought a house in London a long time ago, and it was too inconvenient to stay in a hotel." ”

"Okay, I want to buy a house on Garden Street in Kensington Palace, you can help me get in touch. ”

London will be the second most important base for Jonas, and buying a house here is not a waste.

There are 28 villas in Garden Street at Kensington Palace, and the prices here have been the most expensive in the world, even the cheapest one costs £30 million.

The houses here belong to the Crown Asset Management Commission, and more than 20 of the 28 villas are currently leased to embassies.

When Edward heard this, he immediately became happy and asked, "What are your requirements and standards?"

"No, not really. I don't care about the size, the price, as long as it's in line with the market value. ”

"Then you just wait for my good news......"

Back in his room, he was about to make a phone call, but Jonas persuaded him. "There's no hurry about the house, tell me about your opera first. ”

Edward, who graduated from college this year, did not enter the Navy as is traditional, but wanted to pursue a career in television production.

Currently, he is in the West End theater, where he plays a small role in The Phantom of the Opera and also serves as an executive producer.

"Jonas, I need sponsorship. Do you know how poor our crew is? I now have less than a pound a day for lunch at noon, but all the cast is still full of excitement......

"Just tell me how much sponsorship you need......" Jonas sat down on the couch and instructed the hotel's butler. "Please open the wine I brought and bring us two more snacks. ”

"One hundred thousand pounds. ”

Jonas paused for a moment, not too much, but too little. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you interested in buying a theater?"

Edward nodded and said, "Of course, but I don't have any money." ”

Jonas was surprised and asked, "Haven't you been authorized by the fund to use your own assets?"

"Of course not. Edward said helplessly: "I lent all my money to Charles, and then became a shareholder of the resource recovery company, but now, the company has been losing money. ”

"All the money?"

"I now have only 100,000 a month for social expenses, which is a lot of money for other people, but for me, I can barely make ends meet. ”

As a prince, he has his own social responsibilities, attending social places, and fulfilling social obligations, which is barely enough to keep his men running.

Looking at the bitter prince, Jonas couldn't help but laugh. "Well, you go to your mom, tell her about our plans, and ask her to borrow a sum of money. It doesn't take much, just 20 percent of me, and then I'm giving you 15 percent of the management shares. ”

If it is consumption, the queen will definitely not give it to him, but if it is a legitimate investment, a small amount of money, the queen should still support it.

"Then I need to make a business plan first......"

"Of course, even I need to evaluate your management skills through a business plan. ”

It doesn't cost much to buy a theatre, and there are more than forty theatres in less than a square mile of London's West End, most of which are small theatres with seats under 500.

But don't underestimate the more than 40 theatres, which put on 17,089 performances a year, an average of 388 per theatre a year, launched 265 new plays, attracted more than 11.93 million audiences, and grossed more than £2.6 billion at the box office.

The audience's various expenses related to the theater, such as meals, accommodation, transportation, and the purchase of program lists and souvenirs, totaled 43.3 billion pounds, and the Western District paid 200 million pounds in various taxes for the government.

London's West End generates £700 million a year, but compared to that, the entire London box office is only £160 million a year.

In other words, the box office of a film is forty percent less than that of an opera, and the economic benefits generated are less than a quarter of that of an opera.

Jonas himself has no interest in opera, but his grandmother Hannah loves it, so why not buy a theater to not only maintain his relationship with the royal family, but also to please his grandmother?

Even if the theater keeps losing money, Jonas won't care.

Edward left happily, and Jonas instructed Mikiros, "Help me investigate Charles's recycling company, why have I helped them expand their sales channels and are still losing money?"

Getting up the next morning, Mikiros handed a report of the investigation to Jonas. "It's a bit complicated, but the key reason should be Andre. ”

Jonas picked up the investigation report, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but be a little amused. It turned out that after a long time, it was still the people of the Hoffman family who cheated Charles and Gerald.

Gerald asked Jonas to introduce Grandpa Philip to them, in order to help him get to know the power plant of the pharmaceutical factory.

And Andrei was responsible for this matter, but he did not care about the face of the prince and duke, and pushed the price to the industry standard.

So, it's not like they cheated them, but it definitely didn't let them take advantage of it.

And these two are not qualified businessmen at all, they don't know how to control costs, and resource recovery companies only need to make drizzle profits to survive, so in their hands, this company can't make money at all.

Jonas doesn't have a virgin heart, and he won't let himself earn less for a few outsiders.

But after thinking about it, he still dialed Andrei.

"Uncle Andrei, I'm Jonas. ”

"Jonas, you went to England?"

"Yes. And then here to know that Charles, their resource recovery company, has been losing money. ”

Andrei laughed on the other end of the phone. "But we're already the most generous next home they can find. ”

"I understand. Jonaston paused and asked, "If we raise the purchase price a little bit, will we lose money?"

Andrei on the other end of the phone pondered for a while before saying, "If it doesn't exceed five percent, we're still profitable." ”

Jonas asked, "How much does the power plant trade with them every year?"

"If you just look at the value of scrap, it's less than 8 million Swiss francs, but the freight plus that's more than 20 million Swiss francs. ”

It is not surprising to Jonas that the cost of such scrap exports is higher than the value of the goods themselves.

Jonas then asked, "Is it possible to reduce shipping costs when it comes to scrap shipping?"

André said: "Jonas, we can't do everything ourselves. ”

Jonas replied, "Uncle Andrew, if I come to bear the five percent premium, can I close the accounts?"

Andre on the other end of the phone pondered for a while before asking, "Jonas, it seems that the relationship with the royal family does not need to be maintained in this way! As far as I know, even the queen does not want Charles to participate in business." ”

Jonas smiled: "But London will be my financial investment bank in the future, and BP and Shell will be my big customers in the future, so it is very cheap to sell it well in front of the royal family for hundreds of thousands of dollars and get the friendship of the prince and duke." ”

Austria said on the other end: "It's just a small business, we Hoffmann family are a whole and you don't need to do it alone. I'll raise the purchase price in due course and reveal what you mean. ”

After hanging up the phone, Jonas still had a warmth in his heart. Having the support of a family is far more confident than going it alone.

"Mikiros, have you contacted the flight?"

"Yes. The nearest airport to Duke Vien Hotel is Helston Airport. The scheduled departure time at the city airport is 10:25 a.m. and landing at 11:20 a.m. Rosali had already driven to the airport in advance to wait, and when she arrived at the hotel, she was able to catch Neuer's lunch. ”

"What about the gifts I brought?" Jonas prepared a bamboo folding fan with a diameter of nearly two meters for each of the ladies attending the party, and the fan was embroidered with silk, which was not only very valuable, but also very exotic.

"In Roshari their car. Will arrive with us at the hotel. ”

"Mikiros, you've always satisfied me like this. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do. ”
