Chapter 168 The Three-Party Secret Talk (1)

Since the banquet was officially announced, it means that it is time for the guests to leave. So, after saying goodbye to the two hosts, George and Elizabeth, the guests invited to attend the banquet, leaving the banquet hall, which can accommodate nearly a thousand people, and drove away from the Boydleyton Manor, which left a deep impression on them.

"Haha, David (Dane), we didn't come in vain this time!" Hillwood said to his ceo with a smug look in the car, "You think if George Nelson knew that he had spent a lot of manpower and material resources to get such a banquet and made wedding clothes for us, would he be so angry?"

At this banquet, Hillwood got a loan from Barclays Bank and successfully blocked some of the funding gap needed to build a new stadium. Therefore, Hillwood is now in a good mood and no longer as gloomy as the team lost the Community Shield Championship before.

"Well, boss, I think this situation will not happen. No matter what, Viscount Nelson should have expected this in advance. After all, it would be normal for such a thing to happen at the banquet." After hearing Hillwood's remarks, David Dane couldn't help but feel ashamed. At the same time, he swallowed the second half of the sentence that he didn't say was back into his stomach, and then flattered his boss, "If it weren't for your boss, you personally and got such a huge sum of money from Barclays Bank, we are likely to be worried about raising the funds needed to build a new stadium."

"Haha, David, you're the one who speaks best for me." Hillwood smiled proudly, feeling very helpful for Dane's flattery. "David, the loan contract with Barclays must be implemented as soon as possible to avoid the nights and dreams. I'm worried that if some people are interested in learning about this, they will find a way to stumbling over the construction of the new stadium."

If Hillwood knew that Barclays Chairman Marcus Aggis took the initiative to find George at the banquet, hoping to win the advertising position on Tottenham's chest with an eight-year and £60 million contract, but he had to go through a 50 million loan from Barclays and also mortgaged the future ticket income of the new stadium as a guarantee, then the Arsenal chairman would probably not be as happy as he is now.

In fact, clubs of the level of Arsenal should not be worried about the funding of building a new stadium. With the Gunners' outstanding performance in domestic stadiums, the rising TV broadcast fees in the British League, and the rising consumption enthusiasm of British fans, it is no problem to pay for these hundreds of millions of pounds of loans.

The reason why Arsenal's fundraising work becomes so difficult is that the construction period of the new stadium is always delayed due to various unexpected reasons, which seriously hits many investors' confidence in Arsenal's repayment ability - the continuous delay of the completion date means that the Gunners' time period for recovering funds will also increase. For investors and banks, such projects that cannot recover their investment on time are undoubtedly extremely bad investments, because this will often put extremely huge pressure on their capital turnover!

Just as Hillwood and others drove away from Boydleyton Manor, no one noticed that there were fewer cars out of the manor than when they came. Although Abramovich, Kenyon, Ferguson and David Gill, who were notified by George in advance, walked out of the banquet hall with the main force under the guidance of the butler, on the way out, the group cleverly took advantage of the forks and the opportunity of personnel diverting people in the manor and walked back without anyone knowing it, and finally came to the door of a smoking room.

"Good evening, sirs." Seeing that Abu and others finally arrived, George, who had been waiting in the smoking room, smiled and said hello, "Welcome to the humble house again, and I hope you can have a pleasant night here."

"George, the manor you bought is really good. I didn't pay attention when I came here. Until I just found out that the exterior wall decoration should be from Spain's volcanic rocks, and the floor of the whole house should be made of top teak from Myanmar, right?" Although it was too late, Abu did not immediately ask George why he called them here, but talked tacitly about other topics that had nothing to do with the matter. In the eyes of Russians, since George, who was the person in this meeting, was not in a hurry to get to the point, he naturally did not need to care too much about this issue.

"Ah? That's right, you are the one who has the most vision." After looking at Abu unexpectedly, George quickly closed his expression and replied with a smile, "Even if people who don't know how to see these volcanic rock exterior wall decorations and teak floors, it is difficult for people who don't know how to see them with their own eyes. Unexpectedly, you can see them at first sight. It's so amazing!"

"Tsk, George, don't always treat me as a vulgar and ignorant atrocities." Abu curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Although I'm not very good, I've made up for it in this regard."

"Haha, this time it's mine. You shouldn't underestimate Roman's ability." Seeing Abu's reaction, George apologized to the other party with a smile, and then said, "Come on, I'll give you this bottle of red wine as compensation. Although it's not the French gray goose you like, you are definitely a top-notch product."

"Huh? It's not Rafi, produced in 1982, but Romani Conte, George, produced in 1987. Your compensation is too insincere, right?" Abu said in surprise after looking at the label on the red wine. Of course, if Abu's expression was not so fake, or if everyone present did not often come into contact with the upper class circle, perhaps the Russian acting skills could really deceive many people.

"Stop talking nonsense, how could that kind of thing be able to go to my dining table?" Seeing Abu's artificial performance, George didn't know that the other party was intending to retaliate against him before. He gave the Russian a angrily glance and said, "Don't tell me that you don't know that Rafi in 1982 was just a hype, and it was used to fool those who don't know the profession. Romani Conte produced in 1987 is the best wine. If you don't like it, I won't give it to you."

"I was just joking, George, don't take it seriously." Hearing George say this, Abu quickly blew up, quickly handed the red wine in his hand to Kenyon beside him, and replied with a serious look, and there was no sign of any dislike for the bad wine.
