The first day of the Jockey Club was very lively and grand.

It allows the audience to appreciate a feast of dresses and hats, feel the demeanor of beauties from all walks of life, and satisfy people's exploration and yearning for those princes and nobles. On the first day of the Jockey Club, the British royal family made a collective appearance, and the usually low-key aristocrats also had a rare high-profile appearance.

There are even visitors from other countries, such as the sheikh of Dubai, who has a big beard but also wears sunglasses in a suit and dress, and heard that the sheikh likes horse racing, so he came from afar in his private capacity. There are also several members of the royal family in Qatar, and An Feng saw Khalid mixed in the team.

There were many heavyweights on the first day, so there were many arrangements. After watching a paragraph, An Feng followed Bazel to socialize. He also has his own circle in the UK, although not all of them are royal and noble, but these celebrity tycoons are the ones who hold the real wealth, so it is very worth making friends and getting acquainted.

With Bazel's face, everyone didn't dare to underestimate this Chinese. Although both the UK and the US speak English, it would be wrong to really think that they are the same, and in some respects they are the opposite, such as the Americans like to be grand and enthusiastic, while the British are more introverted.

The taut upper lip and absolute restraint are not wrong to describe a gentleman.

Joanna used to joke: "They are emotionally stable, humble and low-key, and if they really want to show their emotions, they will do so in dramatic or very exaggerated ways, such as: I won the Nobel Prize because of the judges' mistakes; Thanks to the error of the measurement, I won the marathon. ”

But there are exceptions to everything, just as not all Americans are enthusiastic, there are nude = body beaches in the UK, and there are people in China who eat cheese. However, in high society, aristocrats and wealthy people abide by the rules, refrain from showing their emotions easily. In this way, their "class" is reflected.

Bazel also told him: "Fundamentally, England is a country that distinguishes social status by language and accent, and the upper class has a unique way of doing things, and emotional outbursts and excessive emotionality are considered gaffes." Of course, ordinary people don't need to control their emotions, and that's exactly what happened. They are the lower classes. And we have to avoid being overly emotional. ”

An Feng understood, no wonder it was said before that dialect is only a regional dialect in other countries, but in the United Kingdom, it means a social dialect. Just like George Bernard Shaw's famous play: My Fair Lady, the heroine has to work hard to change her accent in order to get rid of the traces of life in the lower classes.

Joanna gave him this impression at the beginning: a native Oxford English and absolute self-restraint. Eternal emotional stability.

This is naturally iconic, a representative of the upper class, but without the joy of life. Fortunately, An Feng has some habits for Joanna and constantly imperceptibly, making her more natural, rather than living in the lifeless atmosphere of aristocratic society.

……

The Jockey Club Anfeng felt good for several days in a row.

The main thing is that there is a large group of ladies who show off their beauty to the fullest, which is indeed a beautiful thing for the eyes. Joanna is no exception, the clothes and styling are carefully prepared according to the environment of each day. You are particular about what jewelry you wear...... An Feng, who completed the three-piece suit, was glad that he was a man.

But when the brightly dressed lady appeared with his hand and did not lose her style in communicating with people from all walks of life. It's all worth it. The racecourse was stolen by the ladies, and the men were in a gentleman's low-key, and the only thing they could show off was their female companions.

In particular, the third day, known as "Ladies Day", is different from the previous two days, and today the style is more free. Showing individuality, making a big change on the basis of morning dresses, and even women wearing semi-sheer clothes to attract attention...... An Feng condemned this provocative behavior with his eyes.

When he was criticizing in his heart, a voice sounded behind him: "Mr. An? ”

An Feng looked back, then smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with the other party: "It's a pleasure to meet you." Khalid! Do you also like to watch horse races? ”

Khalid nodded: "Of course, I have some good racehorses in England. Also throw some money at this event and try your luck. ”

An Feng smiled: "I also followed a few batches, but unfortunately my luck has not been very good." ”

"Let's try it together?" Khalid said.

An Feng looked to the side, Joanna was talking and laughing with other ladies, obviously not needing him, so he and Khalid returned to the audience area on stage in a low-key manner, where there were waiters with betting machines and credit cards. After An Feng and Khalid sat down, they each had a glass of juice and chatted about the horse race.

Horse racing betting is complex and varied, with a single selection of the first, or the first, second and third place in order, and the second and third place in order, mainly betting on horses, but you can also bet on the total points of the jockey...... The multiplier of betting varies with the degree of difficulty, and betting on horses depends on some skills in addition to luck.

Playing with Khalid is just entertainment, focusing on communication rather than gambling, occasionally one or two hundred pounds, it doesn't matter if you lose, winning is just having fun, afternoon tea and biscuits, unconsciously from betting on horses to raising horses, Khalid and An Feng are good at it.

Khalid also invited An Feng: "If you have time, go to my horse farm to play, although it is not as large as the scale here, but there are also complete tracks, automated stables, every horse pays attention to the purity of the pedigree, standard horses, you will not be disappointed after you have been there." ”

"Oh good, I'll have time after this horse racing festival." An Feng said.

"No problem." Khalid said cheerfully, "Except for Ramadan, where I need to go back, the rest of the time is free to go around Europe." ”

An Feng said: "You can really enjoy it, there is no pressure. ”

Khalid shook his head: "No, my friend, I am not only for fun, but also for the great task of finding a path for the development of the country. ”

An Feng almost wanted to laugh, your "heavy duty" is to hoard houses in London, and then buy a dozen sports cars to blow up the streets and go to the Arab national treasure-level beauties?

But he still held back and changed the subject: "Then what plan do you have?" ”

Speaking of this, Khalid was very interested, he put down his glass, and talked eloquently: "To be honest, I recently fell in love with a team, and I plan to invest in it, or buy it outright. Although it is not doing very well, the prospects are still good, as long as it can survive the tough times. ”

An Feng said: "Premier League teams? ”

"Of course." Khalid nodded. "Well, isn't this plan very good? If you can advertise Qatar Petroleum, as long as the team's results are good, you can see it all over the world, and the advertising effect must be good. Even if you run a small percentage of debt, you can save a lot of advertising costs. ”

An Feng understood. This guy doesn't love football at all, but has his eyes on advertising. But in the current situation, most of the Premier League teams are in debt, and there are only a few teams that can make money, but there are so many rich people who are rushing to invest money for what?

If you don't want to be famous, you want to make money.

Although the Premier League is said to be a British event, their owners are almost in the world, and there are several types of people, including the wealthy groups and families led by the United States, whose purpose is to manage profits. explore its potential value space; On the Russian side, Abu's purpose is very complicated, I am afraid that it is to seek overseas talismans; As for the Middle East, it is largely about fame, the pursuit of political and international influence.

Khalid is obviously both fame and profit, at first glance the rich people in the Middle East are all generous, but they all have their own small abacus behind them, and it is not that they have money and nowhere to spend. Just to satisfy their own "local tyrants...... An Feng defended himself, in fact, his investment can also produce economic benefits, right?

An Feng asked, "Then which team do you plan to invest in?" ”

Khalid said: "I would have liked to invest in Manchester United, which is the most valuable company. But it is worth around £1.1 billion and is not cost-effective, so Arsenal are ruled out as overpriced. But you can't be too famous, and you can't lie down after playing a few games. So teams worth between 300 million and 500 million can be considered. ”

An Feng said: "Listening to what you said, I think investing in football is also quite interesting. ”

Khalid smiled: "Then what reason do you have?" ”

"Why?" An Feng held his chin and thought, as if he ...... No.

Khaled plotted to buy the team. It seems to be a local tyrant, but in fact it has a deep purpose, An Feng wants to buy a team, it seems to be a local tyrant, but it is really a local tyrant!

"Yes!" An Feng thought about it. "I can spread the word about the medical research center!"

"Research center?" Khalid was puzzled.

An Feng said: "Have you heard of the 'Jean and Tima Medical Research Center'? ”

Khalid realized: "Is it the medical research center that has recently been boiling and a certain billionaire in the UAE is also scheduled to go to the United States to treat cancer?" ”

"Of course, that's it!" An Feng said proudly, enjoying the worship.

"Then what kind of investment do you use to advertise?" Khalid was speechless, "The whole world knows about it, why don't you just strike while the iron is hot?" ”

"It's different." An Feng shook his head, "In some aspects of biological research and development, it has little to do with cancer...... Maybe it's really publicizing it so that everyone knows about the strength. If it's not suitable, change it and hang an advertisement for a security company on the stadium...... Does this seem more affordable? ”

Listening to his words, Khalid felt a little speechless.

An Feng turned his head and asked, "Khalid, do you think it's appropriate to borrow the team to promote the security company?" ”

"What's inappropriate?" Khalid asked rhetorically, "Everyone's purpose is complicated, and there are people who promote the bank through the team!" Didn't you say it earlier, you want to promote medicine through the team. And our side is to enhance the international status, as long as you dare to think, nothing is impossible! ”

An Feng thought about it, it's not impossible, but there are still a lot of places to spend money, and the team that can promote him must be well-known and perform well, although he doesn't like to watch football too much, but he also understands these truths. But these teams can easily make four or five billion ...... Or the pound!

In the case of Manchester City, under the Markham system, it is worth about 410 million pounds, and it will cost more than 700 million dollars to convert into dollars, which is not cheap, and the business expenditure in this area is not in the United States, so it seems that it cannot be deducted too much, which is not in line with Anfeng's current consumption focus.

This year's Anfeng seems to be rich, but there is still not much spare money, some of the money has to be included in the luxury house expenditure, and some of it is needed by the racing track...... Considering the tax deduction for business expenses, it is still cost-effective for American consumption.

In the long run, investing in sports is a good option, a high-impact advertising tool, and it can also pretend to be ...... However, with the current level of funds, it is not enough to consume, so it can only be included in the plan first. In the second or third year, after you really have money and nowhere to spend it, burn it hard.
