I am a nobleman in England

Hanging up the phone, Arthur just smiled with Jiang Lai, who was shocked looking at him, and then looked at Courtis and said: "That said, I will give you the full power to operate the club. Same, I Nor will it invest too much money in the club, so don't think that the Saints will pay a lot of money for signings.

Although football is the world's largest sport, as investors, football may not be regarded as the first investment project.After all, it is extremely difficult to increase brand value and achieve profitability through football in a short period of time.

I bought the Saints out of my passion 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!"

Hearing these candid words from Arthur, Kauttis was still very touched, especially the trust, which made Kauttis sincerely moved. To be honest, what professionals fear most is that they don’t understand anything. The boss blindly commands and makes decisions based on likes and dislikes.

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

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

At this moment, Jerry Fuller, who was holding his mobile phone, walked back, "Boss, an appointment has been made. They will be there on time."

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

And Jerry and Courtes inadvertently glanced at Jiang Lai beside Arthur, Jerry shook his head and smiled: "We won't interrupt your date. If you have anything, you can call and ask."

Kotis also stood up, smiling and saying goodbye to Arthur and Jiang Lai, who had a slightly reddish face and looked a little unnatural, and left the cafe with Jerry.

"sit down--"

He and Jiang Lai were left, Arthur smiled and sat down, and motioned for Jiang Lai to also sit down.

"After listening for so long, will you feel boring?"

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

"What?" Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly, asking back with an unidentified appearance.

Jiang Lai gave a charming look, still with a smile on his face, and said angrily: "You said you are a landlord, farmer, newspaper, publishing house owner, website founder, writer, but you never said that you are actually A nobleman and an earl!"

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

"Then, your excellency, can you tell me your true identity?" At the beginning, Jiang Lai was really disturbed and tranced by various accidents and shocks, but when he calmed down, he didn't. No matter how shocked, it was more curiosity and freshness. Of course, I was also happy to meet Arthur.

Who doesn't want to meet big people?

"Haha, okay, okay..." Arthur shook his head ridiculed and laughed. "Now the so-called nobleman, he knows it well, but he doesn't know it, he claims to be a'middle class' from a young age. I don’t talk publicly about my hereditary aristocratic family background. Talking about it makes me feel uneasy. However, if you want to know, there is nothing to say. I’m the thirtieth generation of Earl Bolin, it’s as simple as that ."

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

"Haha, um, if you are curious, I can take you to my castle, but don’t be disappointed then." Arthur said with a smile, and then changed the subject, "Don’t talk about it, it’s boring, the evening dinner, Are you fortunate enough to invite you to attend as my female companion?"

"Forget it, you are going to discuss business, I will not participate." Jiang Lai looked at Arthur, hesitated, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, when we talk about us, we should meet a few more new friends and practice JIAO English." Arthur continued to bewildered.

"...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, he had a perfect start from his friends, but Arthur still chose to chase after him, because specific things must be treated specifically. For Jiang Lai, she is in a foreign country, and everything around her is unfamiliar. It is conceivable to have a sense of loneliness and lack of security.

Arthur wanted to quickly close the relationship between the two, eliminate each other's sense of strangeness, and truly walk into Jiang Lai's heart, becoming the one of the few or the only person she can trust in this foreign country.

Someone is right that getting along between men and women is actually a game between two people.

After drinking the afternoon tea, at the insistence of Arthur, Jiang Lai accompanied Jiang Lai to the youth hostel where she was staying, leaving the room, and staying at the Southampton Harbor Spa Hotel together.

Originally, Arthur wanted to take Jiang Lai to buy a dress and dress, but Jiang Lai refused directly. Arthur could clearly feel her rejection of giving her a gift, perhaps because of her pursuit. Hit, feeling a little uneasy.

Arthur also knew that he couldn't be rushed, so he didn't insist. At the same time, he 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, love can't be retained, only routines are popular!

"Boom boom——"

Dressed in a black suit, Arthur, handsome and handsome, 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. He was very surprised. I have to say that Jiang Lai's clothes are really good, wearing a white shirt with pleated lotus leaf sleeves and bows. Wear a black shiny high-waisted T-skirt with high heels."Black and white" really didn't seem monotonous to her.

"Oh, you look so beautiful!" Arthur did not hesitate to praise himself.

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

Arthur smiled and bent his right arm up, and gestured to Jiang Lai, and Jiang Lai also shook his head with a soft smile, but he still took Arthur's arm and walked towards the hotel elevator together.

The Pier 15 restaurant is located at the yacht pier on the bank of the Yichen River. When Arthur and Jiang Lai arrived, Jerry and Courtes had already been waiting.

And ten minutes after Arthur's arrival, the three shareholders of the Saints Club came together. Although the two parties had bargained for many times before, this was the first time Arthur and each other met, and it was natural to have a greeting.

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

The dinner menu was very rich, and it went very smoothly, the atmosphere was relaxed, and there were constant laughter.At the end of the dinner, everyone talked about the acquisition of the Southampton Club.

But what Arthur didn't expect was that the other party's opening was a very surprise to him, and also let him know that he was not the only one interested in the Southampton club, which undoubtedly disrupted Arthur's negotiation plan.

"Swiss businessman Marcus Liber?"

Hearing this name, Arthur couldn't help thinking of the famous Liebherr Group. Hearing the other party continue to speak, as Arthur had imagined, he was the head of the Liebherr family.

However, Arthur didn't worry much about Cheng Yaojin, who was halfway through. Moreover, this may not be the way that the shareholders of the Saints deliberately create competitors and increase the selling price of the Saints.

"Then, can you reveal Mr. Marcus Liber's offer?" Arthur asked directly, looking at the three shareholders of the Saints Club with a smile.

"This--"

The three shareholders of the Saints looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, one of them said: "We really want to get rid of the club as soon as possible, so our offer from the beginning is very sincere. Of course, we also Consider the Saints' fall into the League of Legends and the financial difficulties they face.

Our offer of 15 million pounds to Mr. Fuller is already the lowest offer we can accept......"

"Don't rush to conclusions yet." Arthur frowned slightly and interrupted the other party's words. He knew that the British were both stubborn and unwilling to fight for the problems, and since the other party insisted on 15 million pounds, that is to say, The so-called quotation of this opponent is also between 13 million and 15 million.

"It's just a business worth more than 10 million. I really don't want to waste too much time and energy. So, I don't care what price the other party pays. I will give 13 million pounds in cash!"

Arthur looked at the three shareholders whose expressions had changed and said: "I believe you know best what is going on at the Southampton Club. After so many years, I think you should also have a certain affection for the Saints. I believe that instead of It is better to hand the saint to a foreigner than to me."

After speaking these words, the three shareholders frowned slightly and fell into silence, seeming to be thinking carefully.And Arthur didn't say anything. He felt that the price should be acceptable to the other party. Besides, the other party had to consider other factors, such as public opinion and reputation.

I have to say that when the quotations are similar, the other party will give priority to selling to local people, especially Arthur's identity. This is the main reason they have to carefully consider.

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

"Thank you!" Arthur's smile became so brilliant, he reached out and shook hands with the three of them, raised his glass and said, "For friendship and for the saints, cheers!"
