Chapter 107: Money Many People Are Not Stupid (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
With just over 200,000 people in Stoke, this Chinese cafeteria does business well, but it's obviously not big enough to accommodate a few hundred.
Wang Zixuan chartered three nearby restaurants to arrange all the international students and fans.
The owner of the Chinese restaurant, now Wang Zixuan, a big celebrity, took people to take care of his hotel, and also asked for a group photo to hang in the restaurant.
Wang Zixuan also put a few photos with international students and fans in Chinese restaurants on his neck: "I'll watch my team play later." ”
In the past few days, many netizens have been chasing Wang Zixuan's European shopping trip.
There are also many domestic media that have passed on the news that the British media speculated that Wang Zixuan might buy Tottenham.
Seeing that Wang Zixuan really bought Tottenham, netizens cheered again.
Germany, France, Britain, Wang Zixuan flew to three countries in four days, this is the rhythm of sweeping Europe.
Tottenham fans in the country are even more cheering, Tottenham is finally about to rise.
There are also many fans of various European teams who have switched camps and joined the ranks of Tottenham fans.
There are also some domestic fans who organized and brushed Wang Zixuan's comments, hoping that Wang Zixuan would save Chinese football.
However, without Wang Zixuan's response, many fans gave their answers, the domestic football water is too deep, and Wang Zixuan will drown if he goes in.
Wang Zixuan walked around several restaurants and asked some fans what they thought of the team.
At about two o'clock, Daniel, the president of the club, reminded Wang Zixuan: "Mr. Lewis is still waiting at the hotel, we should go back to the hotel." Fans will have to get ready to go to Britannia Stadium too. ”
"Okay."
At that moment, Wang Zixuan said goodbye to the fans, left a bodyguard to settle the bill, and then left.
Drinks in the British Chinese buffet restaurant are chargeable.
After returning to the hotel, Wang Zixuan washed up and came to Britannia Stadium with Joe Lewis and his party.
Britannia Stadium is smaller than Tottenham's White Hart Lane and can only accommodate 28ooo people, but Stoke City has just been promoted to the UK for two seasons and has a population of just over 200,000.
Guided by Stoke City staff, the group entered the box of team owner Pete Curtis.
Pete Coutis is one of the UK's top 30 richest people, with ocean freight carriers handling 1o% of the UK's cargo.
In the box, Pete Curtis was chatting with Tom Wedgwood, and when he saw Wang Zixuan and his party coming, he greeted him with a smile.
Wang Zixuan shook hands with the two one by one, and explained to Tom Wedgwood, who is close to 1.9 meters tall: "I'm really sorry, I promised to have lunch with the fans before, so I can't have lunch with you." ”
As soon as Wang Zixuan and the fans went to the restaurant, Pete Curtis asked Tottenham Hotspur president Daniel and Tom Wedgwood to invite Wang Zixuan to lunch.
Wang Zixuan had already agreed to have lunch with the fans, so naturally he couldn't break the contract, so he could only refuse the invitation of the two.
Tom Wedgwood didn't hide it either, and said with a smile: "I read the newspaper this morning and found out that you came to Stoke, so I took the liberty of asking Mr. Curtis to invite you to lunch." Then I chased it here, and I beg forgive me for the abruptness. ”
Wang Zixuan smiled: "Speaking of which, I also like EDGOOD, I don't know what you have to do with me?" ”
Tom Wedgwood is the eighth generation of the Edgood family, but their family has a small stake and is now more engaged in technical research.
Tom Wedgwood said, "Does Mr. Wang know anything about EDGOOD? ”
"Know."
Wang Zixuan didn't know about the Edgood company before, but he only knew that Royal Dalton porcelain and Watford crystals were also from the Edgood Group.
However, Daniel knew about the recent situation of Edgood, and after learning that Tom Wedgwood and Pete Curtis had invited Wang Zixuan, he guessed a little, and then told Wang Zixuan his guess.
Edgood, a globally famous brand that supplies porcelain to the British royal family and many royal families, has been losing money for many years and has been sustained by shareholder blood transfusions, but the financial crisis of O'8 hit Edgood's major shareholder, Irish media tycoon Anthony O'Reilly, and the married family, Greek ship king Peter Goulandis, who could not afford to continue to inject capital into Edgood.
The company's shares fell to 1 euro per share, leaving the company with a market capitalization of just over 5 million euros.
In January O9, Edgood had to go into receivership and the exchange ceased trading in its shares.
For more than a year, the company's shareholders and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, which is in charge of bankruptcy administration, have been actively looking for a buyer to save the company, which has been around for more than 200 years.
There are many companies interested in Edgood, but none are willing to take on Edgood's debt of more than £400 million.
They are more expecting that after Edgood goes bankrupt, it will be spun off and sold, and then they will be able to buy what they want.
Tom Wedgwood doesn't want his grandfather's company to be broken up and sold, so he's been actively looking for a buyer.
After learning that Wang Zixuan had come to Stoke City, he asked Pete Curtis, the owner of Stoke City, to contact Wang Zixuan in the middle.
Tom Wedgwood said, "Then I'll be blunt." Huaxia is the place of Ming ceramics, and there is a large enough market, I would like to ask Mr. Wang to buy edgood company and let edgood continue to survive. ”
Wang Zixuan said with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, although I like EDGOOD, I don't have any plans to get involved in this industry." ”
There is no doubt that Edgood is famous all over the world, and the porcelain used in places from various royal families to the White House is basically Edgood.
Wang Zixuan also thinks that edgood's porcelain is very exquisite, but there are too many good things, and he can't buy all the things he likes, not to mention that edgood has continued to lose money for many years.
Although he has a lot of money, he is not stupid.
Tom Wedgwood said, "Listen to me. I have been to Huaxia many times, the market in Huaxia is very large, as long as EDGOOD opens the Huaxia market, it can definitely turn losses into profits. If you acquire Edgood, with your influence, you will definitely be able to open the market for Edgood in the shortest possible time. It's definitely not going to be a loss-making business. ”
Wang Zixuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, like you said, there are too many porcelains in my country, and I have no reason to buy a British porcelain to seize the market of my compatriots." ”
Hearing Wang Zixuan say this, Tom Wedgwood was also anxious, there was not much time left for him, and if he could not find a buyer, Edgood would be divided and sold.
"No matter who buys EDGOOD, with the British royal brand and EDGOOD's exquisite craftsmanship, and the Chinese people's yearning for the life of the British aristocracy, EDGOOD can open the Chinese market. If you don't want foreigners to earn money from your compatriots, then the best thing to do is for you to buy edgood. And although the ceramics are Chinese people, the bone china is our Ming. The best bone china in the world is also in edgood. ”
Tom Wedgwood's words were a little unkind, so he almost pointed to Wang Zixuan's nose and said that you Chinese people are admiring foreigners.
Wang Zixuan was not angry, looked at Tom Wedgwood and smiled: "I didn't expect you to know Huaxia so well. I'm a little moved by what you said, and I'll have people look into it. Let's watch the game first. ”
Tom Wedgwood saw that Wang Zixuan agreed, and returned to his gentlemanly appearance, bowed, and said, "Offended." ”
