Canary Wharf, City of London.

Andy's convoy stopped on the empty dock and got out of the car, some cool sea breeze blew in the face, blowing Andy's suit close to the figure, the tie was flying, a little grinning, his hairstyle was also blown a little out of shape, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Boss, that's Joe Lewis's Aviva luxury yacht, his floating office and gallery, and he spends months a year on board and traveling the world doing business. He carries with him some of his most cherished collections, including works by Lucian Freud, Gustav Clint, Paul Cézanne and Picasso. Only guests who value him will be invited aboard. ”

David Dunn saw the young boss's slightly unhappy expression, and hurriedly explained, don't cause any misunderstanding because you don't understand, after all, Joe Lewis really attaches importance to this meeting with Andy.

Andy looked at the five-story white yacht not far away, nodded slightly, and he also secretly pouted in his heart, the old guy is really good enough to pretend to be forced, and go to sea with works of art worth hundreds of millions of pounds, Nima, and he is not afraid of attracting pirates to rob him.

"Boss, the old man at the head of the crowd is Joe Lewis. ”

"Well, let's go, let's meet this invisible billionaire forex speculator Joe Lewis, and hopefully there will be a good outcome today. ”

With a sunny smile on his face, Andy took the lead and walked over to the group of people coming from the opposite side, and David Dunn quickly followed.

"Hello, Mr. Lewis, I'm Andy Smith and it's an honor to meet you. After all, he is almost 70 years old, Andy's etiquette is still very good, and when he is three steps away from the old man, he stretches out his hand to greet and introduce.

With a broad and bright forehead, thick eyebrows, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, although the skin on his face was very loose and wrinkled because of his age, the old man's complexion and spirit were very good.

"Hello, Mr. Smith, it's a pleasure to meet you, it's amazing age and achievement, welcome to London, please, I've prepared a good Blue Mountain coffee and black tea, I hope you'll like it. Joe Lewis looked at the handsome young man in front of him, whether it was his appearance, temperament or etiquette, he had to sigh that he was really a proud son of heaven.

"Thank you, please first. Andy smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and then walked slowly towards the luxury yacht with Joe Lewis.

"This is my Aviva, which I sail around the sea every year, and it is also my office, and being at sea makes me more energetic. Joe Lewis smiled and introduced Andy to the four-story luxury yacht in front of him.

Andy smiled slightly, he had read this Lewis information and knew that he moved to the Bahamas in 1979 because of tax avoidance, and it was from the Caribbean country that he turned his millions of fortunes into billions through financial skills.

"It's beautiful. Some time ago, I also ordered a new yacht with a maximum speed of 29 knots, and I am very much looking forward to driving it on the sea. Andy said with a smile.

"Wow, that's pretty good, young man's speed, haha, it looks like we've got a good topic, come, I'll show you my floating office gallery, maybe I'll give you some inspiration to decorate the interior of a yacht... ”

The group boarded the luxury yacht, and with Lewis, the old man, showing off, Andy began to tour the entire yacht space.

"This is Picasso's study of his young wife Marière's "Dream"... ”

。。。。。。

Andy looked at the many precious artworks and paintings hanging in the room, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a moving treasure trove. Even he, who doesn't know much about art, can guess that some of the paintings here can command tens of millions of dollars each.

As for why the other party didn't put it up for auction to alleviate the cash crisis, but instead sold the football club, Andy could figure it out.

For Joe Lewis, a Jewish businessman, these works of art are his treasures, hobbies, and many of them are nothing more than giving up and measured by price, and as for football, he never asks about the affairs of the club, but only regards football as an investment, a business, which is also the general original intention of the Jewish consortium to run a football club.

The bald Levi was in a complicated mood, and his expression was a little gloomy as he looked at Andy and Lewis, who were sipping Blue Mountain coffee, with cigars on their fingers, and talking and laughing, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

David Dunn, who was sitting on the side, looked at Levy and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, as the owner of the Premier League whose economic strength is second only to Abu, this Jewish businessman who made his fortune in foreign exchange trading and has assets of billions of pounds is a hands-off shopkeeper who never asks about the affairs of the club.

However, this does not mean that Levi can do whatever he wants, and his football is a business philosophy is the same as ENIC's speculation, especially on the road to building a continental organization, Levi's changes of order and indecisiveness and frequent tricks have also made the Joe Lewis lose patience.

Truth be told, given the Premier League's intricate competitive landscape and century-old heritage, Levy can't make it as successful in the talent market as Da Costa, Fidel Castro and Pozzo, but that doesn't stop him from being decisive and ruthless in selling star players.

As one of the first clubs to win honours for Britain in Europe, the embarrassing situation of only the League Cup for 30 years has made Tottenham more sensitive and vulnerable, and Levy's speculators have made Tottenham miss the opportunity to become bigger and stronger.

It's a matter of foundation, and it takes time to operate. Don't look at Andy's lack of understanding of football, David Dunn is extremely respectful of his young boss, mainly because Andy's employment is higher than many club owners.

In Andy's words, "Although I don't understand, I can hire the best people in this field to help me, money, power, and trust can be given to each other, if it still doesn't work, it's that the person I hired is not good enough!"

"Since David invited you to buy Tottenham on your behalf, White Hart Lane has become the most high-profile one in the Premier League, even more concerned than Arsenal, which is competing for shares, and Fleet Street has been questioning Tottenham's acquisition endlessly.

Football is just a business for me, it's nothing special, I'm not the Russian, I'm not going to throw money at football, and every summer, Tottenham fans and some media want me to be generous and join the big game of Golden Dollar football, which I have no interest in.

I've always believed that if you're successful, one of the rewards for your success is to enjoy it quietly. It's not a blessing to be on the front page of the newspaper, and now, my name appears in the newspaper almost every day, and it's not a life I like, Andy, we need to find a balance and get this deal done as quickly as possible, you say. ”

The smile on Andy's face was still so sunny, and he nodded lightly, indicating that he understood what the other party meant, and he also knew the low-key style of the old man opposite, Joe Lewis is definitely a low-key invisible rich man, but since he became the owner of Tottenham, every time Tottenham has not achieved satisfactory results, he will be pulled out by the media during the transfer period every summer. It is widely believed in the media that it was his and Levy's neuroticism that buried the team with his own hands, and that Levi's excessive interference with the head coach and the large number of player trades in and out of the team had nothing to do with his Lewis's cronyism and laissez-faire.

He is also quite helpless about these unwarranted disasters, but Levy's achievements are still worthy of recognition, at least the current ranking and market value of Tottenham Hotspur Club have improved qualitatively.

"Mr Lewis, you know, now the negotiations are at an impasse because of the valuation of the club, and the team's liabilities cannot be ignored, even if the plans for a new stadium are put on hold in the future, there will be an expansion of White Hart Lane, which will require a lot of investment, and for me, investing in a Premier League club is also a business, and the business needs to consider all aspects of the cost, after all, there is only one Abu in the Premier League, isn't it?"

Andy will not get carried away because of the other party's hospitality, pulling relationships, and some good words, he is not short of that money, but 40 million pounds is not a small amount,
