Chapter 280 Team Plan

Anfeng then went to Switzerland.

In the Credit Suisse office in Zurich, I saw Hollandek, who was in a straight suit and a calm expression.

An Feng sat down, said thank you to the assistant who poured him water, and said to Hrandek: "Why didn't you notify me of this situation before?"

Hlandek flipped through the computer records: "I have called you seven times and sent twelve emails, indicating that the international exchange rate has changed frequently recently and the US dollar is unstable. I suggest that you exchange your deposit for more stable fixed assets or other commercial investments, but you say you are not worried."

An Feng felt embarrassed when he thought about it and smiled: "Sorry, I've had too much trouble recently."

"So I'll inform you urgently, because the dollar may rise, but it's more likely to fall." Hollandek said seriously.

"What are the good ways to preserve value?" An Feng asked.

"You can consider gold, or use this money to invest in funds, or engage in other things that can appreciate, such as sports. As far as I know, American professional football teams have a high appreciation potential, either basketball, motorsports, and European football."

An Feng thought that American investment naturally had an Xuntong account, and offshore accounts were obviously more suitable for overseas use, so he asked: "European football?"

"For the Premier League teams," Hollandek said. "Although the teams are not profitable, the team's value actually increases every year. For example, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United have profits and losses, but the overall price has risen."

An Feng was thinking in his head.

Hollandek reminded: "My plan is just a reference and there is also the possibility of losses."

"I know." An Feng naturally knew this. It was not that if he invested in high value, he could maintain his value. He lost more money and had debts in the end. But now he put too much money in the bank and earned money every year. His career was in the initial stage and he didn't have time to spend a lot of money.

So he didn't want to put too much money in the bank. It evaporated silently, which was a loss.

Investing in sports is also beneficial to bio-drink promotion.

An Feng communicated his ideas with his assistant Goodridge. Goodridge is very enthusiastic about Premier League teams, and he is a fan himself.

An Feng asked him to sort out the information and list the value and acquisition possibilities.

...

One day later.

An Feng was invited to fly to Qatar. He was flipping through the local culture. I believe that the one who is most familiar to the Middle East is Dubai. It is a representative of richness in the eyes of the world, with supercars and top hotels all over the streets, the location of the tallest building, and a luxurious resort.

However, the Gulf country not far from Dubai, Qatar is relatively low-key.

In fact, although Qatar is not as good as Dubai, it is richer. Dubai has a population of more than 2 million, and its per capita GDP is about 40,000 US dollars, while Qatar has a population of nearly 2 million, and its per capita GDP exceeds 100,000. In terms of total GDP, Qatar is more than twice that of Dubai.

It may be that the two regions have different concepts of spending money. Dubai is crazy about investing money in urban construction and building it into a tourist consumption destination to cope with the situation of oil depletion. As a country, Qatar is committed to increasing its influence and investing more internationally.

The most famous one is their big investment. The funds invested in the 2006 Asian Games are the standard of the Olympics. This country regards the Asian Games as the Olympics, and in order to host the 2022 World Cup, they previously claimed to install air conditioners on the stadium... In order to increase the influence of football, they even prepared 1.5 billion pounds to acquire Manchester United, but in the end they were left alone and are still staring at the Premier League.

Qatar does not have the crazy nature of Dubai in urban construction, but in terms of money-burning ability, these Middle Eastern tyrants are the same. After a preliminary understanding, An Feng understood why Khalid was so enthusiastic. The reason is naturally that the United States, Qatar has a lot of cooperation with the United States and wants to accompany the rich.

As the core of the consortium, An Feng supports the new US president. He is definitely closer in cooperation with oil or natural gas, and the United States is also interested in providing Qatar with military equipment... Through this complex relationship chain, it can indeed play a positive role.

The plane arrived over the peninsula. The country was very small and had nothing except oil and natural gas. Most of the daily necessities were imported, but it also built the capital Doha into a modern city. Looking down, tall buildings stood tall and the buildings by the bay were lined up one after another.

The plane landed on a new airport built by Qatar. Its huge scale makes it possible for the world's largest transport plane: An-225 to dock, which is a reflection of its image and strength. The airport has just been put into operation and has few flights. After the plane lands, it will dock in a special area.

A flight attendant came and said, "Mr. An, your car is here."

"Okay, goodbye everyone! I wish you a happy journey!" An Feng said to the crew.

Holding Joanna's hand, walking down the gangway, a black Rolls-Royce was parked.

The driver opened the door for them, and the two sat in the back seat of the Phantom and left the airport. It was afternoon, but the temperature in March was not low, the sun was shining outside the window, and the surrounding buildings were covered with a layer of earthy yellow. It was probably the wind and sand were not small, and there were many construction sites on the road.

After driving along the coast for more than ten minutes, we arrived at a luxurious and beautiful villa area.

Originally, An Feng planned to stay in a local hotel, but could not resist Khalid's enthusiasm. He said that there were no people at home and they had a comfortable room for them to choose. An Feng agreed. When the car passed by the gate, the security guard saw the iconic car and passed it without checking it.

After driving for a while in the villa area, the car finally stopped in front of a modern building with a bit of European style. The door was opened. An Feng suddenly felt the hot weather in Doha. The two-piece set couldn't stand it. It was still March. If it was June and July, it would be inevitable to go to forty.

No wonder the Qatar government proposes to change the World Cup to be held in winter. Players can stand such hot weather and fans can't stand it.

A man wearing a traditional Arabian white robe walked out of the house, with a pair of sandals under his feet. An Feng looked at him for a few seconds before he recognized him as Khalid.

"Welcome to you!" Khalid invited them into the house.

After walking into the house for a cool feeling, An Feng looked at the Western style decoration and joked: "I thought you were going to invite me to live in the palace."

But Khalid said, "If you want, I can take you in and stay for a few days."

"I still like to be freer, it's good here." An Feng refused with a smile.

Khalid said: "I said you would like it. I live in the West all year round. My living habits and aesthetics are similar to you."

"It's very good here." An Feng said, just like some vacation villas in the United States. The front yard has a garden and the trees that best reflect the level of wealth.

In the desert area, it is said that if you want to plant a tree, the annual maintenance fee is at least 5,000 US dollars, and the highest one will reach 10,000 US dollars. He just counted it. There were at least eight trees in the front yard of Khalid, and then he came to the green grass and could look at the back yard of the bay. Not only the trees, but also a luxurious swimming pool hidden under the green trees. Fresh water is a perfect luxury.

"How is it, isn't it okay?" Khalid said.

"A very good place. You must have put a lot of thought into it."

Khalid heard the praise and smiled on his face: "Of course, this place is different from London, and it costs a lot of money to transform the environment."

After visiting the backyard, he returned to the house. Khalid asked them to sit down and entertained the servants for tea. He said, "Tonight prepare a roasted lamb feast for you."

Roasting whole lamb is a way to entertain VIPs in Qatar. Khalid specially prepared it. An Feng knew the customs, so he said a few polite words.

After Khalid left temporarily, someone came to his house.

The first ones came in were two children wearing white robes, about eleven or twelve years old, both with pretty faces and a football in their arms. After entering, they were talking in a murmur. An Feng couldn't understand Arabic either, but he saw that they were extraordinary and had a sense of pride in his eyes.

A middle-aged man in a white robe and bearded came up. He took a photo of the naughty child who wanted to play football in the living room, taught him a lesson, and then glanced at An Feng. He hesitated and said in very unfamiliar English: "Are you Khalid's friends?"

"Yes, who are you?" An Feng looked at him.

Khalid soon appeared and said a few times in Arabic. Then he introduced him: "This is my eldest brother Fahard, his two children."

Then he said a few words to Fahard in Arabic. Fahard smiled and reached out his hand. An Feng shook his hand. Khalid translated on the side: "He said he was very happy that you came to visit. You are noble friends. I hope you can enjoy life here and get used to this place."

"Thank you very much for your enthusiasm, sir!" An Feng said with a smile.

The two naughty children stared at An Feng and muttered, not knowing what to say, Khalid translated: "I hope you don't mind, they want to come here to play football."

"It's okay, exercise is good for the body," said An Feng.

Khalid said while walking: "Actually, it's because of hosting the World Cup. Football has emerged in our country. Two children have nothing to do at home, and Fahard doesn't know how to play football. I practiced some when I was in college in the UK, so they like to come here to play with me every time."

An Feng smiled and said, "Maybe they are very talented."

Khalid said: "Even if there is, their future path will not be in sports."

An Feng understood that these are all members of the royal family. It would be too expensive to play football and be a professional athlete.

Several of them came to the backyard, and Joanna and Leila sat down to have tea in the shade. The two children played in the sun. Although the naughty children were wearing robes, they lifted up and kicked the ball high. Khalid ran out to catch the ball with his chest, rolled down to the instep, and skillfully slammed a few times, and slapped it to the two children.

An Feng also played with them for a few minutes. His skills were average, but he was still more than enough to abuse the naughty children. When he was tired of playing later, Khalid gave them the task of training, so he returned to the shade and drank ice water to relieve the heat. The two children were still having fun playing on the green lawn.

Regarding the topic of the World Cup, An Feng said: "When it comes to football, I have also been interested in acquiring Premier League teams recently to promote corporate brands for me."

Khalid asked, "Which team did you like?"

An Feng said: "I have sufficient funds. Except for the two most expensive teams, I have the ability to buy them, but the main reason is that the boss is willing to sell them."

Khalid said: "You are so awesome! We have not yet settled for the acquisition of Premier League teams, and things are divided again. We intend to spend more money on buying young or valuable players, so that they can become Qatari nationality, and represent the 2022 World Cup."
