I Am a Nobleman in England

Hanging up the phone, Arthur just smiled at Jiang Lai who was looking at him with a shocked face, then looked at Kautis and said, "It's still the same sentence, I will give you the full authority to operate the club. It will not invest too much money in the club, so don't think that the Saints will spend a lot of money on signings.

Although football is the largest sport in the world, as an investor, you may not regard football as the first choice for investment. After all, it is extremely difficult to enhance brand value and achieve profitability through football in a short period of time.

I bought the Saints because of my love for football. I also have time and patience. I will give you enough time and trust. Therefore, if you have any plans or reforms, you can boldly try them! "

Hearing Arthur's candid words, Kautis was very touched, especially the trust, which moved Kautis from the bottom of his heart. To be honest, what professionals are most afraid of is not knowing anything The boss directs blindly and makes decisions based on likes and dislikes.

"I won't let you down!" Kotis solemnly promised again.

"I'll wait and see." Arthur nodded.

At this moment, Jerry Fuller came back with a mobile phone, "Boss, we have an appointment, and they will be there on time."

"Well, that's good, it's still early, let's sit down and have afternoon tea together." Arthur said with a smile.

Both Jerry and Kotis glanced casually at Jiang Lai who was beside Arthur, Jerry shook his head and said with a smile, "We won't disturb your date, please call if you need anything."

Kotis also stood up, smiled and bid farewell to Arthur and Jiang Lai, who had a slightly red face and an unnatural expression, and left the coffee shop with Jerry.

"sit down--"

There were only himself and Jiang Lai left. Arthur sat down with a smile, and motioned for Jiang Lai to sit down too.

"Will you feel bored after listening to it for so long?"

"No," Jiang Lai said with a smile on his face, "But, should you say something to me?"

"What?" Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly and asked back with a look of confusion.

Jiang Lai rolled her eyes charmingly, still with a smile on her face, and said angrily: "You said you were a landlord, farmer, owner of a newspaper or publishing house, founder of a website, or a writer, but you never said that you are actually a A nobleman, and an earl!"

"Oh, this." Arthur shook his head and smiled suddenly: "Hehe, what kind of nobility, it's just a title. We are all middle-class. After staying in England for a long time, you will know that now it is just an honor , is a symbol, but also a kind of trouble."

"Then, middle-class lord, can you tell me your real identity?" Jiang Lai was really disturbed and dazed by all kinds of accidents and shocks at the beginning, but when he calmed down, he couldn't help himself. No matter how shocked it was, it was more curious and fresh, and of course I was happy to know Arthur.

Who doesn't want to meet big shots?

"Hehe, okay, okay..." Arthur shook his head and laughed when he was ridiculed, "The so-called nobles now know it well, but they don't know it, and they call themselves 'middle class' to the outside world. Not talking about my hereditary aristocratic background in public. Talking about it makes me uncomfortable. However,

Since you want to know, there is nothing you can’t say. I am the thirtieth successor of Earl Boleyn, it’s as simple as that. "

"The 30th generation really has a long history, so you should have grown up in a tall, majestic and ancient castle?" Jiang Lai immediately became interested and began to ask curiously.

"Hehe, um, if you are curious, I can take you to visit my castle, but just don't be disappointed then." Arthur said with a smile, and then changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this, it's boring, the dinner tonight, Is it an honor to invite you to attend as my female companion?"

"Forget it, you guys are going to discuss business, so I won't participate." Jiang Lai looked at Arthur, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, let's talk about us, let's meet some new friends and practice social English." Arthur continued to bewitch.

"...Okay." Jiang Lai hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed with a smile.

Hearing that Jiang Lai agreed, Arthur was very happy. Although he knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he had a perfect start as a friend, Arthur still chose to pursue and fight hard, because specific things need to be treated on a case-by-case basis. , For Jiang Lai, she is in a foreign country, everything around her is strange, and it is conceivable to feel lonely and lack of security.

Arthur wants to quickly draw the relationship between the two of them closer, eliminate the strangeness of each other, truly walk into Jiang Lai's heart, and become one of the few or the only people she can trust in this foreign country.

Some people are quite right that getting along between a man and a woman is actually a game between two people's hearts.

After finishing the afternoon tea, at Arthur's insistence, he accompanied Jiang Lai to the youth hostel where she stayed and checked out, and stayed at the Southampton Harbor Spa Hotel together.

Originally, Arthur wanted to take Jiang Lai to buy an upcoming dress, but Jiang Lai directly rejected it. Arthur could clearly feel her rejection of the gift he wanted to give her. Perhaps, it was because of his relentless pursuit. Hit, feeling a little uneasy.

Arthur also knew not to act too hastily, so he didn't insist, and at the same time slowed down the rhythm of the 'attack'. Some people might say that Arthur couldn't walk when he saw a woman, so he knelt down.

However, chasing women is like this. Since ancient times, deep love can't be kept, only routines can win people's hearts!

"Boom——"

Wearing a black suit, the handsome Arthur stood at the door of the hotel room and knocked on the door.

"Crack——"

The door opened, and after putting on makeup, a more beautiful Jiang Lai appeared in front of Arthur. Wear a black shiny high-waisted t-shirt skirt, and step on high heels. "Black and white" is really not monotonous in her body.

"Wow, you look gorgeous!" Arthur was not stingy with his compliments.

"Thank you." Jiang Lai smiled sweetly, then walked out of the guest room, closed the door, and put the room card into his handbag.

Arthur smiled and bent his right arm, signaling to Jiang Lai, and Jiang Lai also smiled gently and shook his head, but he still took Arthur's arm and walked towards the elevator of the hotel together.

Pier 15 restaurant is located on the yacht dock on the bank of the Yichen River. When Arthur and Jiang Lai arrived, Jerry and Kautis were already waiting.

And just ten minutes after Arthur arrived, the three shareholders of the Saints Club arrived together. Although the two parties had bargained many times before, this was the first time Arthur and the other party met, and naturally a greeting was indispensable.

In business communication, the hierarchical concept of the British makes these people pay more attention to the identity, experience, performance and background of the other party, instead of paying more attention to the performance of the opponent in communication or negotiation like Americans. Therefore, don't think that Arthur is so young that the other party will despise or disrespect him. On the contrary, Arthur's identity and status as a noble earl definitely played a positive role.

The dinner dishes are very rich, and the process is very smooth. The atmosphere is relaxed and there are constant laughter. When the dinner was coming to an end, everyone talked about the acquisition of the Southampton club.

What Arthur didn't expect was that the first time the other party opened his mouth, he was very surprised and let him know that he was not the only one interested in the Southampton club, which undoubtedly disrupted Arthur's negotiation plan.

"Swiss businessman Markus Lieber?"

Hearing this name, Arthur couldn't help but think of the famous Liebherr Group. Hearing the other party continue to speak, it was just as Arthur thought, that he was the head of the Liebherr family.

However, Arthur wasn't too worried about Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway. Moreover, this might not be a trick by the shareholders of the Saints to deliberately create competitors and increase the selling price of the Saints.

"So, can you tell me about Mr. Marcus Lieber's offer?" Arthur looked at the three shareholders of the Saints Club with a smile on his face and asked directly.

"this--"

After the three shareholders of the Saints looked at each other, after a moment of silence, one of them said: "We really want to sell the club as soon as possible, so we have been very sincere in our quotation from the beginning. Of course, we also Consider the Saints' drop to League One and the financial woes they face.

The £15m we offered Mr Fuller was the lowest we could have accepted. . . . . . "

"Don't jump to conclusions yet." Arthur frowned slightly and interrupted the other party's words. He knew that the British were stubborn and refused to make great efforts to fight for it. Since the other party insisted on 15 million pounds, that is to say, My so-called opponent's offer is also between 13 million and 15 million.

"It's just a business of more than 10 million yuan. I really don't want to waste too much time and energy. How about this? I don't care what price the other party offers. I will offer 13 million pounds in cash!"

Arthur looked at the three shareholders whose expressions had changed and said: "I believe you know the current situation of the Southampton Club. After so many years, I think you should also have certain feelings for the Saints. I believe that instead of It is better to give the saints to a foreigner than to me."

After these words were spoken, the three shareholders frowned slightly and fell silent, as if they were thinking carefully. And Arthur didn't say anything else, he felt that the other party should be able to accept this price, and besides, the other party had to consider other factors, such as public opinion and reputation.

It has to be said that when the quotations are similar, the other party will also give priority to selling to their own country. The local people, especially Arthur's status is extraordinary, which is the main reason why they have to consider carefully.

After the three shareholders exchanged glances with each other again, one of them said with a bitter smile: "Your Excellency, 13.5 million pounds, this is the other party's offer, but, as you said, he is a foreigner after all, so the saint is yours." Already!"

"Thank you!" Arthur's smile became extremely bright, and he reached out his hand to shake hands with the three, raised his glass and said, "For friendship, and for the saints, cheers!"
