Chapter 214 Team Plan
The first day of the Jockey Club was very lively and grand.
It allowed the audience to experience a feast of dresses and hats, feel the charm of beauties from all walks of life, and satisfy people's exploration and yearning for those princes and nobles. On the first day of the Jockey Club, the British royal family made a collective appearance, and the low-key nobles on weekdays were rarely high-profile.
There were even visitors from other countries, such as the Dubai chief who had a big beard, but also appeared in suits, dresses and sunglasses. He heard that the chief likes horse racing and comes from a distance with his private identity. There were also several members of the royal family in Qatar, An Feng met Khalid who was mixed in the team.
There were many heavyweights on the first day, so there were many arrangements. After watching it, An Feng followed Bazer to socialize. He also had his own circle in the UK. Although they were not all royal nobles, these celebrities and tycoons were the ones who had real wealth, so they were very worthy of making friends and being familiar with each other.
With Bazer's face, no one dared to underestimate this Chinese. An Feng gained a lot. Although both the UK and the US speak English, it would be wrong if you really think they are the same. In some aspects, they are the opposite. For example, Americans like to be grand and enthusiastic, while British people pay more attention to restraint.
It is true to describe a gentleman with a tight upper lip and absolutely restrained statement.
Joanna used to joke: "They are in a stable mood, humble and low-key manner. If they really want to express their emotions, they will be dramatic or very exaggerated. For example, because of the judges' mistakes, I won the Nobel Prize; thanks to the measurement error, I won the marathon championship."
But there are exceptions to everything, such as not all Americans are enthusiastic, there are also naked beaches in the UK, and there are also people in China who eat cheese. However, in the upper class, the nobles and rich people abide by the rules and restrain themselves without expressing their emotions easily. This way they reflect their "class".
Bazer also said to him: "Basicly speaking, Britain is a country that distinguishes social status through language and accent. The upper class has a unique way of dealing with things. The explosion of emotions and excessive emotionality are considered to be out of place. Of course, ordinary people do not need to control their emotions, which is exactly the case. They are in the lower class. And in us, we must avoid excessive emotionality."
An Feng understood it, no wonder there was something to say before. In other countries, dialects are only regional dialects, but in Britain, it means social dialects. Just like Shaw's famous drama "My Fair Lady", the heroine should work hard to change her accent to get rid of the traces of life in the lower class.
Joanna gave him this impression at the beginning: he had an authentic Oxford English, absolutely self-control, and his emotions were always stable.
This is naturally very iconic, representing the upper class who is high and high, but he loses the fun of life. Fortunately, An Feng is constantly subtly moved by Joanna, making her more natural, rather than living in the dead atmosphere in the aristocratic society.
...
Anfeng, Jockey Club, felt good for several consecutive days.
The main reason is that there is a large group of ladies who show off their beauty. It is indeed a pleasing beauty. Joanna is no exception. Her clothes and styles are carefully prepared, and according to the environment of every day, she has to pay attention to any jewelry she wears... An Feng, who has walked the three-piece complete journey, is glad that she is a man.
But when the beautifully dressed lady appeared with his hand in her hand and was able to show off her style in communication with people from all sides, it was worth it. The limelight of the racecourse was snatched up by the ladies. The men were in the gentlemanly low-key manner, and the only thing they could show off was their female companions.
Especially on the third day, known as "Ladies' Day", unlike the previous two days, today's style is more free. It highlights personality, and is modified based on morning dresses. There are even women wearing semi-transparent clothes to attract attention... An Feng condemned this provocative behavior with his eyes.
While criticizing his heart, a voice sounded behind him: "Mr. An?"
An Feng looked back and smiled and walked up to shake hands with the other party: "I'm glad to meet you. Khalid! Do you like watching horse racing?"
Khalid nodded: "Of course, I have some good horse racing in the UK. I also invested some money at this event and tried my luck."
An Feng smiled and said, "I have followed a few batches, but unfortunately I have been not very lucky."
"Let's go and try it together?" Khalid said.
An Feng looked around. Joanna was chatting and laughing with other ladies. Obviously he didn't need him, so she and Khalid returned to the audience area on the stage. There was a waiter holding a betting machine and could swipe the card. After An Feng and Khalid sat down, they each had a glass of juice and started chatting on the horse racing.
The betting patterns of horse racing are complex and changeable. The number one and two or three are ranked in order, and the number two and three are ranked in disorder. The main bets are bets, but the total points of the jockey can also bets... The bet ratio changes with the difficulty. In addition to luck, betting on horses also relies on some techniques.
All I have had with Khalid is entertainment, focusing on communication rather than gambling. Occasionally, I spend 100 or 200 pounds, but I don’t have much to do if I lose, but I just want to have fun. After afternoon tea and biscuits, I unknowingly talk about horse gambling to raising horses. Khalid and An Feng are both good at it.
Khalid also invited An Feng: "If you have time, go to my horse farm to have fun. Although it is not as large as here, it also has a complete runway and an automated stable. Every horse pays attention to the purity of bloodline and a standard horse. You will never be disappointed after you have been there."
"Okay, I'll have time after this horse racing festival," said An Feng.
"No problem." Khalid said readily, "except for Ramadan, I need to go back, and I am free to spend all over Europe at other times."
An Feng said: "You really know how to enjoy it, there is no pressure."
Khalid shook his head: "No, my friend, I am not only a fun trip, but also shoulder the great responsibility of seeking a path of development for the country."
An Feng almost wanted to laugh. Your "heavy task" is to stock up on houses in London, then buy more than a dozen sports cars and blow up the streets in turn to go to grab Arab national treasure-level beauties?
But he still held back and changed the topic: "Then what are your plans?"
Speaking of this, Khalid was very interested. He put down his cup and talked: "To be honest, I recently fell in love with a team and planned to invest in it or buy it directly. Although its operating conditions are not very good, the prospects are still OK, as long as I can get through the difficult period."
An Feng said: "Premier League team?"
"Of course." Khalid nodded. "How about it, is this plan very good? You can advertise Qatar Petroleum. As long as the team's performance is good, it can be seen by the whole world. The advertising effect must be good. Even if you operate a small proportion of debt, you can save a lot of advertising expenses."
An Feng understood. This guy didn’t love football at all, but turned his attention to advertising. But in the current situation, most Premier League teams are in debt, and only a few teams can make money, but so many wealthy people are rushing to invest money. Why?
If you don’t seek fame, you will seek profit.
Although the Premier League is a British event, their bosses are almost from the world. They are divided into several categories, including rich groups and families led by the United States. The purpose is to operate interests and explore their potential value space; while the Russian side, Abu's purpose is very complex, and he is probably to seek overseas amulets; as for the Middle East, it is largely a matter of seeking name and pursuing the influence of political and international status.
Khalid is obviously both for fame and for profit. At first glance, all the rich people in the Middle East are generous, but they have their own little plan behind them, not that they have money and have nowhere to spend it. They just want to satisfy their "rich"... An Feng defended himself. In fact, his investment can also generate economic benefits?
An Feng asked, "Then which team do you plan to invest in?"
Khalid said: "I originally wanted to invest in the most valuable Manchester United. But it is worth about 1.1 billion pounds and is not cost-effective, so Arsenal, which is too expensive, is also excluded. But it cannot be too famous and can't be stuck after playing a few games. So teams worth between 300 million and 500 million can be considered."
An Feng said: "I feel that investing in football is also quite interesting."
Khalid smiled: "Then what reason do you have?"
"Reason?" An Feng held his chin and thought, as if... no.
Khalid plans to buy a team. He seems to be a tyrant, but actually has a deep purpose. An Feng wants to buy a team. He seems to be a tyrant, but he is really a tyrant!
"Yes!" An Feng thought. "I can promote the Medical Research Center!"
"Research Center?" Khalid was puzzled.
An Feng said: "Have you heard of the 'Jen and Tima Medical Research Center'?"
Khalid suddenly realized: "It is the medical research center that has been in the hot topic recently. A wealthy rich man from the UAE has also booked to go to the United States for cancer treatment?"
"Of course, it's it!" An Feng said proudly, enjoying worship.
"Then what investment do you use to advertise!" Khalid was speechless, "The whole world knows it, wouldn't it be enough to just hit the iron while the advertisement is hot?"
"Different." An Feng shook his head, "In some aspects of biological research and development, it has little to do with cancer... Maybe I really promote it so that everyone can understand their strength. If it is not suitable, just change it and hang a security company advertisement on the stadium... Does this seem more affordable?"
Khalid felt a little speechless when he heard his words.
An Feng turned around and asked, "Khalid, do you think it is appropriate to borrow the team to promote the security company?"
"What's wrong?" Khalid asked, "Everyone's purpose is very complicated, and there are people who promote banks through the team! You said before, you want to promote medicine through the team. And we are improving our international status. As long as you dare to think, there is no impossible!"
An Feng thought about it and it was not bad, but there were still many places to spend money at present, and the teams that could promote him must be well-known and perform well. Although he doesn't like watching football, he also understands these principles. But these teams often cost 400 million to 500 million... or pounds!
Take Manchester City as an example. Under the Markham system, it is worth about 410 million pounds, and it costs more than 700 million to US dollars. This is not cheap. Moreover, the commercial expenditure in this regard is not in the United States, and it seems that it cannot be deducted too much, which does not meet Anfeng's current consumption focus.
Anfeng seems to be rich this year, but his spare money is still not much. Some of the money needs to be included in luxury housing expenses, and some of it is needed by racing stadiums. Ocean Shipping, which operates with the shell, should be added as a... Considering the issue of tax deduction for commercial expenditures, it is still cost-effective to consume in the United States.
In the long run, investing in sports is a good choice, an advertising method with a huge impact, and can also show off... But with the current capital level, it is not enough to consume, so it can only be included in the plan first. In the second or third year, if you really have money and have nowhere to spend it, burn it hard.
