Seeing Gao Xian lost in thought, Mrs. Thatcher did not urge him, because with Sir Gao's current status and strength, whether he is willing to run errands depends on his mood. If the human relationship is in place, it doesn't matter.
About half an hour later, Gao Xian made a decision without dragging the mud and water. "OK, I'll try. I hope I can live up to my mission."
Mrs Thatcher beamed and said, "I'll immediately ask the relevant departments to arrange travel, translation, security and so on for Sir Gao."
Gao Xian waved boldly, "since it's the contact mode of the Personal Envoy, I'll bear the cost. Please prepare enough professionals for selection."
The implication of this is that now that the British economy is in recession, it is not difficult to imagine that the government has to pay close attention to financial expenditure. Don't be embarrassed. Just send enough professionals. Of course, it's reasonable for me to do some private work.
In the "old script", when Mrs. Thatcher visited China with the victory of the Falklands war, as a social etiquette, she tried to choose a cheap menu to avoid being caught by British political opponents or being made a big fuss by the media. It can be seen that Thatchers have more concerns.
Our friendship is here. Sir Gao reminded us not to be "stingy". Mrs Thatcher should not be embarrassed. She just said that it all depends on Sir Gao.
After the private meeting with Mrs. Thatcher, Gao Xian took the time to explain to Wei Peter, chairman of the board of directors of Xiangjiang land, and others.
For example, Xiangjiang land came forward to find two container ships and oil tankers to help the Royal Navy transport logistics supplies.
Peter Wei has no bottom in his heart. He doesn't know how long the war will last. Even if the cost of "working for the country" is found in the end, it should at least be hung on the account of Xiangjiang land for a period of time. The impact on listed companies can't be ignored.
Gao Xian is funny. Modern war is increasingly dependent on logistics. It takes a long time. Britain's national strength can't stand it. Speculative Argentina can't stand it. It lasted three months.
However, Gao Xian didn't say his analysis, but waved his hand with awe inspiring air, "take a long-term view. If land is' serving the country ', it will naturally pay off."
All right, God bless the queen. Peter Wei put down his concerns and nodded his head.
In fact, this is just an episode. Gao Xian brought Wei Peter and other executives of Xiangjiang land to the UK to participate in a series of business activities. The real purpose is to brush the British property value of Xiangjiang land and pave the way for the next step to Jardine's harmony. The extra drama of "serving the country" can also be used as a chip whose value can not be ignored.
In this series of business activities of Xiangjiang land in the UK, it is worth mentioning that Gaoyi UK was responsible for the specific operation, acquired the control of Stamford Bridge Company, the owner of Stamford Bridge Stadium, and received a gift - Chelsea Football Club.
Stamford Bridge Stadium and its surrounding area of more than 50000 square meters were originally owned by the mills family. The history of this control has been more than 70 years, but it was destroyed by the reconstruction plan of Stamford Bridge Stadium, which began in the 1970s.
Because it was too ambitious, the step was too big to pull the egg. The reconstruction plan of Stamford Bridge Stadium became a unfinished project and dragged the relevant parties into the mire of debt.
The reasons are not hard to understand. In recent years, the world oil crisis and economic stagflation have been rising one after another. Now the world economy is still in recession. In addition, during this period, British social contradictions have emerged one after another, construction workers strike every once in a while, and there is a shortage of building materials. As early as 1977, the Stamford Bridge Stadium reconstruction plan had a debt of £ 4 million, The mills family and the Stamford Bridge Company are desperate and can be called looking for takers everywhere.
However, local people in the UK know their roots and do not want to be wronged, or carefully put forward the acquisition conditions that are most conducive to them. For example, Ken Bates, former president of Oldham football club, put forward such a plan to the mills family. Chelsea Club sold it to me for a pound, so that I could solve the thorny problems of the club's players, other staff and fans; As for the heavily indebted Stamford Bridge Company, I don't want it. You can find a way to rebuild the new stadium and provide it to Chelsea club.
In contrast, investors outside London and even outside the UK, such as Xiangjiang land, must have different ideas. If the mills family and Stamford Bridge were not reduced to such a miserable place, outsiders would not have much chance to enter the circle where the pattern has stabilized. It's worth spending more money.
Specifically, Xiangjiang land spent nearly 20 million pounds for the control of Stamford Bridge Company and the debt of Stamford Bridge Company. Therefore, the mills family was happily relieved, and those local British forces who wanted to take advantage of the fire could only bitterly scold where the people who came out were stupid and rich!
Tomorrow, Xiangjiang land and mills family will hold a formal signing ceremony to make a grand handover.
Gao Xian revealed a determined latest achievement to Wei Peter, "Gao Yi UK has controlled several pieces of land near the Stamford Bridge Stadium. At that time, it will be put together for comprehensive development around the cake of sports culture."
Peter Wei sincerely supports Gao Xian's arrangement, because Xiangjiang land has occupied many valuable properties in Xiangjiang, including Hong Kong Island Central. After the new central land king was robbed by Jardine, it is really difficult for Xiangjiang land to further develop. Developing real estate in London can be called a wonderful move with many benefits.
"What about Chelsea club? Just from the book, it loses 15000 pounds a week, but the League results are in a mess, with a huge risk of falling from Serie B to Serie C." webpeter took the time to ask some difficult questions.
Gao Xian said leisurely: "It will take a long time to eliminate the exclusion faced by outsiders like us. Especially at this stage, the football hooligans in Chelsea fans are notorious all over the UK. They will certainly make a lot of small moves. Let Chelsea club be so bad first, just keep the basic operation, and then take action when there is the value of turning the tide. Anyway, we really care about the value It's real estate. The team's problem is not as important as expected. Even some Serie A teams are eager to replace Chelsea and come to Stanford stadium. "
Wei Peter guessed the intention of Gao Xian. Chelsea club, which can't even pay players' wages, hasn't reached the worst time. No matter how much and how good it is, the British local groups, including fans, may not appreciate it. Let's drag it half dead first.
