Hang up the phone, Arthur just and looked at him, shocked Jiang Lai smile, then looked at Curtis said: "or that sentence, I will give you the full authority to operate the club, the same, I will not invest too much money to the club, so, don''t think about the saints will be heavily funded.


    Although football is the world''s largest sport, investors may not regard football as the preferred investment project. After all, it is extremely difficult to improve brand value and realize profit through football in a short period of time.


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


    Hearing Arthur''s Frank words, Courtis was still deeply touched, especially trust, which moved him from the bottom of his heart. To tell the truth, what professionals fear most is the blind command of a boss who doesn''t know anything and relies on likes and dislikes to make decisions.


    "I won''t let you down!" Once again, Courtis solemnly assured.


    "I''ll see." Arthur nodded.


    Just then, Jerry fuller came back with his mobile phone. "Boss, it''s already made an appointment. They''ll be there on time."


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


    And Jerry and Curtis looked at Jiang Lai beside Arthur carelessly. Jerry shook his head and said with a smile, "we won''t disturb your appointment. You can call me if you have anything to do."


    Courtis also stood up, smiling and Arthur and pretty face slightly red, Jiang Lai look a little unnatural farewell, with Jerry left the coffee shop.


    "Sit down --"


    he and Jiang Lai are left. Arthur sits down with a smile and signals Jiang Lai to sit down as well.


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


    "No," Jiang Lai said with a smile on his face, "but do you want to say something to me?"


    "What?" Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked in an unknown way.


    Jiang Lai''s charming white eye, still with a smile on his face, said: "you say you are a landlord, a farmer, a newspaper, a publisher, a founder of a website, a writer, but you have not said that you are actually an aristocrat or a count!"


    "Oh, this one." Arthur shook his head suddenly and said with a smile: "ha ha, what 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, a symbol and a kind of trouble."


    "Well, sir, can you tell me your true identity?" At the beginning, Jiang Lai was really upset and dazed by all kinds of accidents and shocks. However, when he calmed down, he was no longer so shocked. Instead, he was more curious and fresh. Of course, he was happy to know Arthur.


    Who doesn''t want to meet big people?


    "Hehe, OK, ok... "Arthur was ridiculed, shaking his head and laughing." now the so-called aristocracy, I know what I know, but I don''t know. I call myself "middle class" from small to large. I never talk about my hereditary aristocratic family background in public. Talking about it makes me uneasy. However, since you want to know, there is nothing you can''t say. I am the 30th successor of the Earl of Boleyn. It''s so simple. "


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


    "Well, if you are curious, I can show you around my castle, but don''t be disappointed." Arthur said with a smile, and then changed the subject, "no, it''s boring. Would you like to invite you to attend the dinner party tonight as my companion?"


    "Come on, you''re going to talk about business, so I won''t take part." Jiang Lai looked at Arthur, hesitated and said with a smile.


    "Ha ha, if we talk about our business, we should make more new friends and practice Jiao English." Arthur continued to bewitch.


    “。。。 All right Jiang Lai hesitated for a moment and finally agreed with a smile.


    Hearing Jiang Lai''s promise, Arthur was very happy. Although he knew that he couldn''t eat hot tofu in a hurry and had a perfect start from a friend, Arthur still chose to chase after him, because the specific things should be treated concretely. For Jiang Lai, she was in a foreign country, and everything around was strange. It was possible to take a sense of loneliness and lack of security In imagination.


    Arthur is to speed up the two people''s relationship, eliminate each other''s strangeness, really into Jiang Lai''s heart, to become her only few in this foreign land, or the only one that can be trusted.


    Some people are quite right. Getting along with men and women is actually a game in their hearts.


    After tea, at Arthur''s insistence, she accompanied Jiang Lai to the youth hostel where she stayed, checked out and stayed at the spa hotel in Southampton harbor.


    At first, Arthur wanted to take Jiang Lai to buy the dress, but Jiang Lai refused directly. Arthur could clearly feel her rejection of the gift he wanted to give her. Perhaps it was because of his pursuit and fierce fighting that he felt a little uneasy.Arthur also knows that he can''t be too quick, so he doesn''t insist. At the same time, he slows down the pace of "attack". Some people may say that Arthur can''t move when he sees a woman and kneels down.


    However, the pursuit of women is like this, since ancient times deep love can not stay, only routines win the hearts of the people!


    "Dong Dong --"


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


    "Kazam --"


    after the door opened, Jiang Lai appeared in front of Arthur after making up, which was very amazing. I have to say that Jiang Lai''s clothes are really good. She wears a white shirt decorated with a pleated lotus leaf sleeve and a bow tie, and a T-skirt with a black bright face and high waist, and high heels. "Black and white" in her body is really not monotonous.


    "Oh, oh, you look so beautiful!" Arthur was not stingy with his praise.


    "Thank you." Jiang Lai smiles sweetly, then goes out of the guest room, closes the door, and puts the room card into his handbag.


    Arthur laughs and bends his right arm to show his intention to Jiang Lai. Jiang Lai also shakes his head gently. However, he takes Arthur''s arm and walks to the elevator of the hotel.


    Pier 15 restaurant is located on the yacht pier on the banks of the ichin river. When Arthur and Jiang Lai arrive, Jerry and Curtis are already waiting.


    More than ten minutes after Arthur''s arrival, three shareholders of the saint''s club came together. Although the two sides had bargained for many times before, this was the first time Arthur and the other party met. Naturally, there was a greeting.


    In business communication, the British people''s hierarchy concept makes them pay more attention to the identity, experience, performance and background of the other party, rather than the performance of the opponent in the communication or negotiation as the Americans do. Therefore, do not think that Arthur is so young, the other party will despise or disrespect, on the contrary, the identity and status of Arthur''s aristocratic count definitely played a positive role.


    The dinner was very rich and smooth. The atmosphere was relaxed and the laughter was continuous. Towards the end of the dinner, people talked about the acquisition of Southampton club.


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


    "Marcus Libo, a Swiss businessman?"


    Hearing this name, Arthur could not help but think of the famous Liebherr group. When he heard the other party continue to speak, he was the leader of the Liebherr family as Arthur thought.


    However, Arthur didn''t worry much about Cheng Yaojin, who was killed halfway. Moreover, this may not be the routine of saints who intend to create competitors and increase the selling price of saints.


    "Well, can you disclose Mr. Marcus LIBOR''s offer?" Arthur looked at the three shareholders of the saints'' club with a smile and asked directly.


    "This -"


    after the three shareholders of saints looked at each other and were silent for a moment, one of them said, "we really want to get rid of the club as soon as possible, so we have been very sincere in our offer from the beginning. Of course, we also considered the saint''s fall to the League one and the financial difficulties faced by him.


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


    " don''t jump to conclusions. " Arthur interrupted the other party''s words with a slight frown. He knew that the British were stubborn and unwilling to make great efforts. Since the other side insisted on 15 million pounds, in other words, his so-called rival''s offer was 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. In this way, I don''t care what the price is offered by the other party. I offer 13 million pounds in cash!"


    Looking at the three shareholders with a slightly changed look, Arthur said, "I believe you know best what is going on in Southampton club. After all these years, I think you should also have some feelings for saints. I believe that it is better to give the saints to me than to give them to a foreigner."


    After saying this, the three shareholders frowned and fell into silence, as if thinking cautiously. And Arthur did not say anything. He thought the price should be acceptable to the other party. Besides, the other party had to consider other factors, such as public opinion and reputation.


    It has to be said that when the offer is similar, the other party will also give priority to selling to their own country. The identity of local people, especially Arthur, is different, which is the main reason why they have to think carefully.


    After the three shareholders exchanged their eyes again, one of them said with a bitter smile: "Sir, 13.5 million pounds, this is the offer of the other party. However, as you said, after all, he is a foreigner, so the saint is yours!"


    Thank you Arthur''s smile became very bright. He held out his hand and shook hands with the three people. He raised his glass and said, "for friendship and for saints, cheers!"
