Chapter 838 What a coincidence, we meet again

Chapter 838 What a coincidence, we meet again~
Liu Qianqian chats with Principal An in the hotel.

After checking into the hotel, Little John washed up, put on a fine suit, and went to Liverpool Club to meet Xiangyang.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Bi Shaver and Edwards preparing for negotiations.

"Merry Christmas, Jean," Edwards greeted warmly.

"Good morning, Edward. Well done." Little John not only used the nickname affectionately, but also patted Edwards on the shoulder.

What you say
Bea Schaeffer didn't even want to talk about him.

Do you really think that just because he has the title of director he is a leader?

"You don't have the authority to look at these documents." Bi Shafu said righteously, tapping the documents placed on Xiangyang's position.

As for Xiangyang taking the initiative to show it to Little John, that was their business alone.

She has no right to interfere.

But Little John couldn't think of reading it without consent.

"I'm just here to listen." Knowing that it was not appropriate to argue today, little John raised the corner of his mouth in response.

He and Edwards chatted about yesterday's game for a while before Xiangyang's car arrived at the door of the club.

After getting out of the car and thanking the driver, Xiangyang walked into the club's office area under the guidance of the staff.

The club staff also have to work on Christmas.

When passing through the corridor, many cleaning staff were busy preparing to welcome the delegation from Standard Chartered Bank.

"Good morning, everyone." Xiang Yang greeted everyone after coming in and then looked at Bi Shafer.

She seemed to understand what Xiangyang meant and had already prepared a cup of coffee for him.

"Let's have a brief meeting first." Xiang Yang took it and took a big sip. It was necessary to have a meeting before the people from Standard Chartered Bank arrived.

The main thing is to give the club's top management a say.

Let them express their opinions through a meeting.

But in his heart, Xiangyang also has his own price.

While listening to Edwards and others expressing their views, Xiangyang flipped through the documents and wrote down his own price on paper.

4000 million pounds, Xiangyang is certainly satisfied with this figure.

But I am not satisfied.

He feels that 5000 million pounds a year is negotiable.

This is also one of the reasons why he agreed to let Little John participate in the subsequent business negotiations.

"The value of a tool lies in how to present it in a better way to obtain higher returns." This may hurt my friend's feelings, but it is also true.

As the CEO of Hermès Film Investment Company and CC Films, he came to participate in the commercial sponsorship negotiations of Liverpool Club, just to play the role of a tool.

But this time, this tool is a bit redundant.

"Mr. Xiang, do you mean that Liverpool will not only go to China for friendly matches, but also to the UAE and Qatar?"

Because many of the club’s facilities are being renovated.

So when the Standard Chartered representatives arrived, the usual routine and steps of touring the club were omitted.

After a brief formality in the honor room, both parties, tacitly wishing to begin negotiations as quickly as possible, came to the conference room.

When the negotiations started and Xiang Yanggang raised the issue of expanding the scope of cooperation, Standard Chartered Bank's CEO Winters was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, Mr. Winters, this is the club's most important commercial promotion next summer."

At the beginning of the negotiation, Xiang Yang entered the working state. He smiled confidently and said, "I believe that with the help of Standard Chartered Bank, it will be more successful."

“This surprise took me a little by surprise.”

Looking at the young man in front of him, Winster felt that the information he had collected was not groundless. Xiangyang was very good at grasping the pain points of his partners!

When everyone focused their attention on Hong Kong Island, he was the only one who noticed that in the eyes of the leaders of a global bank, there was more than just Hong Kong Island in China.

The UAE and its surrounding markets are also very important to Standard Chartered Bank.

Ok.

The documents that Bi Shaffer prepared for Xiang Yang mainly contained information collected overnight to provide Xiang Yang with a better entry point in the negotiation process.

The authenticity of these messages.
100% accurate.

Standard Chartered has a total of $77.7 billion in loans, and a company that accounts for 4.2% of its total outstanding loans is still undergoing restructuring.

This company is the largest physical enterprise in Dubai.

In addition, they just acquired Barclays Bank's custody business in Africa this year, which is also progressing very smoothly.

Just from these two strategic investment projects, we can see that Standard Chartered Bank has also made huge investments in the development of these two markets.

Coincidentally, Xiangyang is also very concerned about these two markets.

"Mr. Xiang, your proposal is a bit sudden. I need to communicate with the board of directors first." Winster said carefully after considering it.

Next year, Liverpool will go to Qatar and the UAE for commercial matches and will also introduce African players to expand the club's influence in the local area.

this.
Isn't that a little tempting.

With the combined efforts of Hermès and HYS, spending an extra 1000 million pounds a year is equivalent to free advertising for Standard Chartered Bank in the two regions.

Banks also cannot do without publicity.

Leaving the other team members behind, he left the meeting room and followed Bi Shaffer to the lounge which had been decorated with Christmas atmosphere in advance. He took out his cell phone.

"Mr. Winster, what drinks do you need prepared for you?"

Bi Shaffer said this and asked the staff in the rest area to bring the bill.

Tea, coffee, mineral water, sparkling water
These are nothing.

This can be seen in the rest area of any sizable company, but after the tea he ordered was brought to him, he subconsciously glanced at the teacup.

Whether the Hermès teacup is exquisite or not is another matter.

But the LFC printed on it is
He frowned and saw the staff walking out of the rest area with Bi Shaffer, then he looked at the layout of the rest area.

In addition to the Christmas decorations that can be seen everywhere during Christmas, the most obvious thing is the full range of souvenir display area specially provided by Hermès for Liverpool.

He was very familiar with the BCK placed in the middle.

Because many of his wife's handbags are from Hermès, of course, there are other luxury brands. "Ms. Schaffer, can you introduce me?" After walking out of the lounge, Winters was no longer in a hurry to communicate with the board of directors.

"Mr. Winters, these are not for sale."

Bi Shaffer, who had been waiting outside the door, was of course willing to act as a temporary commentator. "According to Mr. Xiang's idea, in future important friendly matches of Liverpool, we will strive to obtain authorization from the other club and then stamp their team logo on the bags."

"That's a good idea." Winters didn't feel too surprised when he heard it.

"After the game, we will hold a charity auction locally and donate the money raised from these limited edition models in the name of the club."

"."

Winters was startled.

this.
Apart from anything else, he knew very well having been there several times that although the teams in the oil-producing countries were not very famous, the financial backers behind them were really not short of money.

Especially those clubs that have dominated the league for a long time and whose names he can't even remember.

If they get involved in a charity auction like this.

It’s really hard to estimate the transaction price.

No, what’s more important is that the series of advertising value and brand building value generated behind it cannot be measured by general advertising.

"I can tell you a little bit that Axel was invited to the Qatar Museum of Art, and this bag was one of the gifts he brought with him."

Bi Shaffer said that Princess Moza was willing to endorse this charity event.

Standard Chartered Bank is not willing to join in the fun.

That depends.
"Mr. Xiang, thank you for choosing Standard Chartered Bank to represent the club. I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant in the next five years."

Taking the memo from Xiangyang's hand, Winster smiled widely.

It will not only attract strong support for Hong Kong Island and China's advertising and promotion in the next few years, but also take advantage of Liverpool's commercial development in the Middle East.

It's just too wonderful.

If it weren't for the fact that drafting the contract required time and careful review by legal advisors, he would have signed the contract today.

“I am also very honored to represent Liverpool and to be able to reach a future strategic cooperation agreement with Standard Chartered Bank.”

Xiangyang and Winster shook hands vigorously.

The business negotiations worth 2 million pounds were completed in half a day. It was worth getting up early.

"Then let's work hard to sign the contract as soon as possible." Although there was a memorandum, not signing the contract would ultimately lack some gimmicks.

This thing needs to be finished by working overtime no matter what.

"I will ask our legal department to liaise with your company as soon as possible." Xiang Yang also felt that it would be better to sign earlier.

He can't leave without signing the contract.

He also promised Liu Qianqian that he would accompany her back to China to promote "Black Swan".

I always lie to her in case she brings up old issues with me.

In the end, he is the one who suffers.

"Mr. Winster, if it's convenient for you, let's have a simple lunch together to celebrate." After the tense business cooperation discussion, it was time to eat and relax.

As the host, Xiangyang must extend an invitation.

They have paid 2 million pounds, you can't just ignore their lunch, that would be so rude.

At the very least, there should be a small ceremony to liven up the occasion.

"No problem, Mr. Xiang. I just want to discuss promotion with you more." Winster was naturally happy to do so.

Other people in the Standard Chartered Bank team have also gotten used to it.

"Shaffer, arrange for them to get off the car." Xiang Yang then instructed his assistant Bi Shaffer.

There's really nothing special about the restaurant inside Liverpool FC.

If you want to have a better business dinner, you have to go to a high-end restaurant or hotel, of course, which is why the club facilities need a complete renovation.

When they arrived at the Hearts Hotel in the Mount Pleasant area of Liverpool, they followed the hotel's general manager into the elevator.

There is a "ding" sound.

The elevator door opened.

"Mr. Bill Winster, welcome." Liu Qianqian appeared at the elevator door with a graceful figure.

She immediately gave him a friendly smile.

And her smiling eyes seemed to be saying to Xiangyang: "Hey, what a coincidence, we meet here too?"

"Is it a coincidence? How could it be a coincidence?" Xiangyang didn't believe that there could be such a coincidence in the world that would happen quietly around him.

"Mr. Winster, let me introduce you. This is my wife."

"It's a great honor to see Mrs. Xiang here." Winster shook hands with Liu Qianqian cordially.

He was not really surprised by Liu Qianqian's appearance.

Because in British social etiquette.

The hostess plays an important role.

Whether it is receiving guests, selecting dishes, or even arranging seats to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of guests is very important.

During the greeting, he remembered that Xiang Yang's wife was an actress according to the information, so he smiled and said:

"My wife and family just watched the popular Black Swan, and they really enjoyed your performance in it."

Hearing this, Liu Qianqian pursed her lips.

She didn't believe it.

But well~
As Mrs. Xiang, she saw through it but did not expose it.

“I hope you and your delegation will be satisfied with today’s lunch.”
