Chapter 851: An Invitation from the Royal Family
Ronaldinho's awesomeness Lu Shaohua knows, that is the winner of the European Ballon d'Or and the world footballer, and he won it in the same year, which means how strong Ronaldinho's peak is.
At the same time, Lu Shaohua also knows that Ronaldinho began to make a name for himself this year, letting the five major leagues know that there is a tooth burst, and since then, Ronaldinho has become a hot commodity, and many clubs want to buy this player.
But that doesn't exist anymore, because Ronaldinho is not yet famous, his name is only known in Brazil, and he was signed by Manchester United, a traditional giant, and no club is destined to compete with him.
As for the issue of labor certification, it may not be possible to apply for it now, but after he becomes famous, the situation will be different, using the genius clause, plus Huo Yingdong has someone in the British Football Association, I believe that it is no problem to get a labor certification.
This is the fact, the facts show that Ronaldinho belongs to the Manchester United team, although it is only temporary, and I don't know if he will transfer to Lu Shaohua in the future, but in the next few years, Ronaldinho must belong to the Manchester United team, which is no doubt.
Some people may ask, is a Ronaldinho worthy of Lu Shaohua's attention?
If Lu Shaohua is asked to answer, Lu Shaohua will definitely say that it is worth it, yes, Lu Shaohua has just bought Manchester United, and he urgently needs such a player, a player who can bring the Ballon d'Or and the world footballer to the team.
Although Ronaldinho will not get the award until a few years later, after he grows up, people will definitely remember that the purchase of Ronaldinho was purchased by Lu Shaohua when he first became the owner, and this credit will not go to Lu Shaohua.
What Lu Shaohua wants is credit, so that he can further realize that Lu Shaohua is right to join the Manchester United team.
But no matter what, Lu Shaohua's trip to Britain is over, and after learning that Ferguson has acted according to his arrangement, Lu Shaohua has nothing to worry about, so people can prepare to leave the UK and return to Hong Kong the next day.
However, just as Lu Shaohua was about to leave the UK, an unexpected invitation made Lu Shaohua have to temporarily stop all trips and stay in the UK for two more days.
There are not many invitations that can make Lu Shaohua temporarily stop all trips, and now that Lu Shaohua has made the decision to stop the trip, it can be seen how high the weight of his invitation is.
That's right, that invitation came from the British royal family, the British queen personally invited Lu Shaohua, although the royal family has left the center of power, but as a spiritual symbol of the British, sometimes the words spoken are more appealing than the British president, how could Lu Shaohua refuse the invitation.
Of course, with Lu Shaohua's current status, it is not a big deal to refuse an invitation, because the Phoenix Group is too powerful, and it is appropriate for a state-owned company to give three points when it meets Lu Shaohua, the owner.
If this is the case, then why did Lu Shaohua still accept the invitation?
The reason is very simple, Lu Shaohua has already guessed that the British Royal Queen's invitation to him will involve two things, one is about the Royal Dutch Shell oil company, and the other is commercial.
It can be said that half of the royal family's invitation to Lu Shaohua is for public and half is for private purposes.
The reason why the Dutch Royal Shell Oil Company added an extra royal to its name is because part of the shares of this company are in the hands of the British royal family, and this company used to cooperate with the Phoenix Group, and now the Phoenix Group occupies more than 17.0% of the shares.
As for the public, this is even simpler, the royal family must have been entrusted by the British political axe, so that the Phoenix Group can come to the UK to invest, which is a bit of a taste of attracting investment.
Investing in the UK?
Lu Shaohua's acquisition of Manchester United is partly because he wants to break into the British high society social circle, why should he enter the upper class social circle? It's not all about investment, it's about being able to buy Rolls-Royce.
It's good now, the British official took the initiative to throw out the olive branch, what reason does Lu Shaohua have to refuse?
No, Lu Shaohua has no reason to refuse, but wishes that the British official invited him, so that he can have a realistic purpose and display his ambitions.
…… Strange to say, the place where the royal family invited Lu Shaohua was not in the palace, but in a five-star hotel, which seemed to be treated as equals, not as if the royal family summoned Lu Shaohua.
But then again, whether it is a summons or equal treatment, Lu Shaohua doesn't mind at all, as long as he doesn't put on a high-minded posture when he meets, Lu Shaohua can ignore etiquette.
Lu Shaohua is here for benefits, as long as Lu Shaohua is given benefits, then what is the use of those so-called etiquette, Lu Shaohua pays attention to reality, not those false.
No, Lu Shaohua is dressed very casually, not so formal, although he is also in a suit and tie, neatly and neatly, but it is far from being as formal as going to a banquet, but it is a bit like going to a negotiation.
In the small restaurant of the five-star hotel, there is a restriction here, and the hotel guests are not allowed to eat here, and only Lu Shaohua and officials of the British royal family and British political axe can enter here.
This is the United Kingdom, not Hong Kong, it is impossible for Lu Shaohua to bring all his bodyguards into it like in Hong Kong, and Lu Shaohua only brought two people, one is He Qiang, and the other is Li Shangkui.
Fortunately, Lu Shaohua's English level is good, and he can talk to anyone, but he doesn't need to go through the translation link.
After the politeness was over, everyone took their seats one by one, along with Li Shangkui and He Qiang, and Lu Shaohua also took their seats, at this moment, they were not Lu Shaohua's bodyguards, but the entourage on behalf of the Phoenix Group.
The British royal family was present with the Queen of England and a prince, while the British political axe was present with the president and the minister of Commerce, but today the British political axe is not the protagonist, the protagonist is Lu Shaohua and the queen of the royal family.
Obviously, this kind of occasion is not suitable for talking about business, after all, it is dinner time, Lu Shaohua also knows the situation, so naturally he will not mention business, but talk and laugh with the officials of the British political axe and the royal queen.
Until the banquet was over, everyone entered the reception room arranged by the hotel, sat on the sides, and the atmosphere automatically escalated and became extremely serious.
First of all, the president of the United Kingdom spoke, and he sent the most sincere invitation to Lu Shaohua, hoping that the Phoenix Group could come to the United Kingdom to invest. Oh no, not to be able to invest in the UK, but to invest more in the UK.
Don't forget, as an economically developed Britain, how can Phoenix Group not set up a branch here.
Phoenix Sales, in Lingdun, England, Phoenix Sales has a Phoenix Sales overseas branch, and now Lu Shaohua has invested in the Manchester United team, which can be regarded as an investment, but the British political axe feels that this is not enough, and hopes that the Phoenix Group can invest more.
After the British president said, Lu Shaohua also responded, claiming that he was willing to increase investment in the UK.
In addition, Lu Shaohua also said that Phoenix Group intends to enter the retail industry in the United Kingdom, and intends to open more than ten super hypermarkets in the United Kingdom.
Phoenix Supermarket, the first thing Lu Shaohua proposed was Phoenix Supermarket. Now Phoenix Supermarket can carry out overseas strategy, and the UK is just one of the stops. If you say it in front of the British political axe now, you may be able to get some preferential policies.
Don't forget, I heard that Lu Shaohua intends to enter the British retail industry, although Lu Shaohua only said that he would invest in more than ten super hypermarkets, but what kind of company is Phoenix Group, once the investment is successful, there is no problem in opening a few more or even ten or twenty stores.
This is a big investment, but also a behemoth form of investment, advanced tentative investment of a batch, and then look at the efficiency, and so on after the return, it is inevitable to increase investment.
In this regard, the British president was very happy, and after thinking for a while, he immediately said that he would give the Phoenix Group certain preferential policies, and at the same time, the British political axe will also help the Phoenix supermarket to settle on British soil in all aspects.
The British president said that the help was very vague, but Lu Shaohua knew that this help included a wide range of things, such as land, real estate, etc., which were necessary to open a big selling place, and the British political axe would do its best to help.
With the words of the British president, Lu Shaohua was naturally happy, and after thanking him, Lu Shaohua threw out an important investment - the automobile industry. Phoenix Group wants to invest in the automotive industry in the UK.
However, in this regard, Lu Shaohua was also very vague, and did not say whether to open a branch of Phoenix Motors or acquire a ready-made car brand in the UK.
The president of the United Kingdom was naturally happy, hurriedly expressed his welcome, and repeated what he had just said that he would give the Phoenix Group preferential policies, and it was obvious that as long as the Phoenix Group came to invest in the UK, then the preferential policies were indispensable.
Lu Shaohua now expressed his gratitude, and then said that he would send people to the UK as soon as possible to investigate, and then let the Phoenix Group's industry settle in the UK.
At this point, the two sides have reached an agreement, and the conversation with the British political axe has come to an end.
It seems that the officials of the British political axe are more acquainted, and after discussing everything, the British president immediately said that he still has affairs to deal with, and left with the accompanying officials, leaving only Lu Shaohua and others and the British royal family in the reception room.
However, the empress, a shrewd woman, didn't seem to be in a hurry, and chatted with Lu Shaohua with a few words, until the atmosphere was not very tense, and after easing a lot, the empress pretended to cough and 'cough' twice.
This is the prelude to getting to the point, Lu Shaohua knows it very well, so Lu Shaohua also put away his smile, became serious, and then waited for the following.
