When the team's captain, Gary Neville, led a group of teammates to climb the more than 100-step staircase and enter the royal box, the whole stadium was a sensation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

As soon as the players entered the royal box, they immediately saw Zeng Cheng and greeted him one by one:

"Boss!"

"Hello boss!"

"We've won, boss!"

……

Zeng Cheng was in a good mood, shaking hands and hugging them one by one.

"Well done, this season, we keep working hard!

"Well, well said, boss!"

"We're all following you!"

"The champions are ours!"

……

The group of people in the royal box all looked at the black lines on their faces, and they were sweating profusely when they heard it. Isn't this like a football team? No, it's like a bunch of fearless warriors!

But the problem is that when you watch them play, you feel like a pack of wolves, a group of hungry and crazy wolves!

There is no doubt that the football field is a war without gunpowder, and only the ruthless and brave can win it.

And the Red Devils, worthy of their name, all have a kind of demonic nature.

………………

When Gary Neville took over the trophy, there was a thunderous roar of roar across Wembley Stadium. All the Red Devils fans once again chanted the team anthem and the song that we are champions to celebrate.

Coloured paper was falling in the sky, and Manchester United's players raised their arms in the air to prop up a Community Shield.

This scene was captured by countless journalists.

It also started a good start for the new season for Manchester United.

………………

Night at Notting Hill in the northwest corner of Hyde Park in London's West End.

On both sides of the road outside the gate, which is not wide, all kinds of luxury cars are parked. One of the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the luxury bus of the Red Devils Manchester United, who have just won the championship at Wembley Stadium.

There are constantly gentlemen in straight suits, holding elegant female companions, entering the hotel, attracting a group of dozens of reporters stationed outside the hotel gate to shoot frantically.

Tonight, all the people who appeared here were well-known political and business celebrities in the United Kingdom. They had just been invited to attend the Manchester United celebration after watching the final of Manchester United's win over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Zeng Cheng!"

"Well done, Red Devils, congratulations on your victory!"

……

Every guest who walked into the door of the hotel shook hands with Zeng Cheng with a smile and congratulated him.

Football is very, very popular in the social circle of the British high society, and even discussing football is the most popular topic among political and business celebrities, so these respected authorities in the football circle are still very popular in the high society.

As soon as the front foot welcomed the guest in, someone on the back foot immediately came in. The white-haired mayor of London, Boris Johnson, walked through the doors of the hotel accompanied by the future mayor of Manchester United.

"Thank you, Mayor Johnson!" Zeng Cheng greeted him with a smile, although Zeng Cheng did not have a good impression of Boris Johnson, the mayor of London had said a few words that made Chinese feel unhappy when he was campaigning. But in the end, it was for the votes, and now people are taking the initiative to come up and set almost, the ancestors have a saying, don't stretch out your hand to hit the smiling person. Forget it, as long as he doesn't say it in the future!

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Zeng Cheng is interested in buying a property in London?" Boris Johnson asked with a sudden smile.

"Yes!" Zeng Cheng was stunned for a moment, but then nodded, "My industry intends to explore the European market, and London, as one of the economic centers of Europe, must be my priority, and now the housing prices in London are very low, and many people want to buy a house in London." ā€

The most typical is the big consortium from the Middle East that bought the entire Knight Street almost in one go.

It can only be said that those Middle Easterners are really rich.

"If Mr. Zeng Cheng is interested, then I suggest it as soon as possible. Boris Johnson said with a smile.

Zeng Cheng also smiled slightly and said, "Please speak." ā€

Boris Johnson looked around to make sure no one was listening, so he leaned in and whispered: "London is already discussing a 7 per cent stamp duty on purchases on properties over Ā£2 million from 2013 and a capital gains tax on foreigners from 2015." ā€

After Zeng Cheng heard this, he was a little stunned and didn't react for a while.

2013 and 2015, but it's only 2009!

Why as soon as possible?

But Boris Johnson didn't say much, and walked into the lobby after a few more polite words to Zeng Cheng.

Because Zeng Cheng had something in his heart, he didn't stay anymore and handed over this task to others, and he himself found the twin female snitch sisters. They are Europeans, and for a period of time, they have been under Zeng Cheng's orders to collect intelligence on European countries, and they should look at the problem more comprehensively.

Zeng Cheng relayed Boris Johnson's remarks just now, and finally asked, "What do you think?"

When the female snitch's sister Blanche heard this, she was immediately overjoyed and said, "Boss, this is a great opportunity. ā€

Zeng Cheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Boss, what do you think real estate investors will do once London announces that it will have a stamp duty on purchases and a capital gains tax?"

Zeng Cheng understood and said, "You mean, they will be the first to strike?!"

Blanche nodded: "Yes, once the news comes out, investors from all over the world will rush in, and London's house prices will definitely soar in a short period of time, and all investors will rush to buy before the policy is introduced, especially in the core area of London." ā€

Zeng Cheng listened silently, this aspect is not his forte.

Blanche explained to Zeng Cheng: "Boss, London's rent return rate is the highest among all major cities in the world, especially in the core area, as high as 5% after tax deduction, and even up to 6%. And as far as we know, China's capital and magic capital are only two percent at most. ā€

"In addition, because of the subprime mortgage crisis in the past two years, Europe has not fully recovered from the financial crisis, and housing prices in major European cities, including London, have been hit hard and are now very low. ā€

After this calculation, Zeng Cheng really understood. Dare to buy the bottom now, even if you don't sell it when the value appreciates, it is quite a good thing to stay in your hands to collect rent.

Because of Blanche's words, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but think of those guys in the Middle East, and said with some emotion: "The whole world thinks that the oil tycoons in the Middle East are stupid and come quickly, but in my opinion, they are the most shrewd in the world!"

Zeng Cheng really admires this group of people in the Middle East, oil has a limit, especially with the revolutionary progress of shale gas and other energy sources, in the long run, oil will gradually be replaced. Therefore, the rich people in the Middle East are now taking out the money they earn from oil and investing it in other fields, such as media, real estate, tourism, etc., which are very long-term investment projects.

"Who said it wasn't?" Blanche also smiled and said to Zeng Cheng, "Which rich person is stupid?"

Even Roman Abramovich is buying a lot of money in London, let alone anyone else. Besides, if the rich don't understand it, won't they still hire people?

"Boris Johnson told me this news, and it is clear that he wants to return the favor and return the favor to me!" Zeng Cheng swept forward, and Boris Johnson, who was bragging with people in the lobby, seemed to have a sense, turned around, and nodded at Zeng Cheng with a slight smile.

"Such a good opportunity, if you don't make money, you won't earn it in vain!" Zeng Cheng thought secretly.

Blanche listened, and knew her time had come to show her loyalty. The most important thing for his boss is the ability of his subordinates, so he said to Zeng Cheng: "I'll go and prepare tomorrow!"

Zeng Cheng nodded, and said to the twin female snitch sister: "You can do this kind of thing!"

Blanche nodded, "Understood!"

As soon as Blanche left, another person immediately greeted her and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Zeng Cheng." ā€

This person is angular, not small, and looks quite imposing. However, Zeng Cheng didn't know him, so he asked hesitantly: "Hello, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm Greg Case, Chairman and CEO of Aon!" he said, handing over an intricately designed business card.

"Yee On Group?" Zeng Cheng took the business card, knowing in his heart that he dared to send money to the door.

He immediately smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Mr. Case!"

When people send money, they can't be too rejecting people thousands of miles away, right?

"Mr Zeng Cheng, first of all, on behalf of the company, I would like to congratulate Manchester United on winning the Community Shield and winning the five-time Crown. It's a very, very great honour and at the same time we're very optimistic about the future of Manchester United, especially next season. After a pause, Max Blau expressed great confidence.

"Thank you!" Zeng Cheng replied with a faint smile.

Greg Keys got straight to the point after finishing the opening kick-off: "We've heard that AIG's contract with Manchester United is about to expire and we really want to work with a team as good as Manchester United. ā€

Zeng Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, we are also very happy to cooperate with a large company like Yee On Group. ā€

But soon, he changed his tone and said, "But I really want to know, how do you want to work together?"

Prior to this, Manchester United's main sponsor was AIG (American International Group) in the United States, but due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, AIG's operation had major problems and was on the verge of bankruptcy, so it was naturally unable to sign a huge contract extension with Manchester United.

The vacancy of Manchester United's main sponsor naturally aroused the covetousness of a large number of companies, including Aon Group, sponsors, who had been in contact with Manchester United before, but had been pressed by Zeng Cheng.

"We are willing to add another 60 per cent to United's contract to AIG for a five-year sign!" said Greg Case.
