Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant Chapter 198

  Chapter 198 Team Planning

  The first day of the Jockey Club was very lively and grand.

  It allows the audience to appreciate a feast of dresses and hats, and feel the beauty of beauties from all walks of life, and it also satisfies people's exploration and yearning plot for those princes and nobles. On the first day of the Jockey Club, the British royal family made a collective appearance, and the normally low-key nobles also made a rare high-profile appearance.

   There are even visitors from other countries, such as the sheikh of Dubai who has a big beard but also appears in a suit and sunglasses. He heard that the sheikh likes horse racing and came from afar in his private capacity. There were also several members of the royal family in Qatar, and An Feng saw Khaled who was mixed in the team.

  There are many heavyweights on the first day, so there are many arrangements. After watching for a while, An Feng socialized with Bazel. He also has his own circle in England. Although not all of them are royal nobles, these celebrities and tycoons are the ones who have real wealth, so it is very worth making friends and familiarizing with each other.

  With the face of Bazel, everyone did not dare to underestimate this Chinese. An Feng has learned a lot. Although the UK and the US both speak English, it would be a mistake to think that they are the same. In some respects, they are opposite. For example, Americans like to be grand and enthusiastic, while the British are more restrained.

   Tightening the upper lip, it is true to describe a gentleman with absolute restraint.

Joanna joked before: "They are calm, humble and low-key. If they really want to express their emotions, they will use dramatic or exaggerated ways, such as: I won the Nobel Prize because of the mistakes of the judges; thank you The error in measurement made me win the marathon.”

   But there are exceptions to everything, for example, not all Americans are enthusiastic, there are **** beaches in the UK, and some people in China eat cheese. However, in the upper class, the nobles and the rich abide by the rules, restrain themselves and not easily express their emotions, and reflect their "class" in this way.

Bazel also said to him: "Fundamentally speaking, Britain is a country that distinguishes social status through language and accent. The upper class has a unique way of doing things, and emotional outbursts and excessive emotions are considered gaffes. Of course , Ordinary people don't need to control their emotions, and that's why they are the lower class. In our case, excessive emotionality must be avoided.”

  An Feng understood, no wonder it was said before that dialects are only regional dialects in other countries, but in the UK, they mean social dialects. Just like Bernard Shaw's famous play: "My Fair Lady", the heroine has to work hard to change her accent to get rid of the traces of life in the lower class.

  Joanna gave him this kind of impression at the beginning: she speaks authentic Oxford English, has absolute self-restraint, and is always emotionally stable.

   It's naturally iconic, a high-rise representative of the upper class, but without the joie de vivre. Fortunately, An Feng continued to subtly influence some of Joanna's habits, making her more natural, instead of living in the lifeless atmosphere of aristocratic society.

  The Jockey Club Anfeng for several consecutive days feels good.

  The main reason is that there are a large group of ladies who show their beauty to the fullest, which is indeed a beautiful thing to look at. Joanna was no exception. Her clothes and styles were carefully prepared. According to the environment of each day, she was particular about what jewelry she wore... An Feng, who had completed the three-piece suit, was glad that he was a man.

   But when the well-dressed lady came out holding his hand and communicated with all parties without losing her style, it was all worth it. The limelight on the racetrack was taken away by the ladies, and the gentlemen kept a low profile as gentlemen, and the only thing they could show off was their female companions.

Especially the third day, known as "Ladies' Day", is different from the previous two days. Today's style is more free, showing individuality, with a major modification on the basis of morning dresses, and even women wearing semi-see-through clothes to catch people's attention... Ann Feng condemned this provocative behavior with his eyes.

   While criticizing inwardly, a voice sounded behind him: "Mr. An?"

  An Feng looked back, then smiled and shook hands with the other party: "Nice to meet you, Khalid! Do you also like to watch horse racing?"

  Khalid nodded: "Of course, I have raised some good racehorses in the UK. I also invest some money in this grand event and try my luck."

  An Feng smiled: "I have also followed a few batches, but unfortunately I have not been very lucky."

   "Shall we try it together?" Khaled said.

  An Feng looked to the side. Joanna was chatting and laughing with other ladies. Obviously she didn't need him, so she and Khalid returned to the audience area on the stage in a low-key manner. There are waiters holding betting machines here, and they can also swipe cards. After An Feng and Khaled sat down, they each had a glass of juice and chatted about horse racing.

The betting pattern of horse racing is complex and changeable, the single choice first, or the first, second and third in order, and the second and third in disorder, mainly betting on the horse, but you can also bet on the total points of the jockey... The betting ratio varies with the difficulty The degree of difficulty varies, betting on horses not only depends on luck, but also relies on some skills.

Playing with Khaled is just for entertainment, the emphasis is on communication rather than gambling. Occasionally bet one or two hundred pounds. It doesn't matter if you lose. It's just for fun when you win. When talking about raising horses, both Khalid and An Feng are good at it.

Khalid also invited An Feng: "Go to my horse farm if you have time. 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 blood, standard Junma, after you have been there, you will not be disappointed."

   "Okay, I'll have time after this horse racing festival." An Feng said.

   "No problem." Khalid said very readily, "I need to go back except for Ramadan, and I am free to travel around Europe at other times."

  An Feng said: "You really enjoy it, there is no pressure at all."

  Khalid shook his head: "No, my friend, I am not just playing, but also shouldering the great task of finding a development path for the country."

  An Feng almost wanted to laugh, your "important mission" is to hoard houses in London, then buy more than a dozen sports cars to blow up the streets in turn, to meet Arab beauties who are national treasures?

  But he still held back and changed the subject: "Then what are your plans?"

When it came to this, Khaled was very interested. He put down his glass and talked eloquently: "To be honest, I have recently taken a fancy to a team and plan to invest in it, or buy it directly. Although its operating conditions are not very good , but the prospects are still ok, as long as we can get through the tough times."

  An Feng said: "The Premier League team?"

"Of course." Khalid nodded, "How about it? Is this plan a good one? To be able to advertise for 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 Operating with a small percentage of debt can also save a lot of advertising costs.”

  An Feng understood that this guy didn't love football at all, but set his sights on advertising. But based on the current situation, most of the Premier League teams are operating in debt, and there are only a few teams that can make money, but why are there so many rich people rushing to invest money?

   Seeking profit without a name.

Although the Premier League is said to be a British competition, their owners are almost from all over the world. There are several types of people among them, rich groups and families headed by the United States. , Abramovich's purpose is very complicated, I am afraid it is to seek overseas amulets; as for the Middle East, it is largely the name of the picture, the pursuit of political and international status.

Khalid is obviously looking for both fame and profit. At first glance, the wealthy in the Middle East all spend a lot of money, but they all have their own little calculations behind them. It's not that they have money and nowhere to spend it. Justify yourself, in fact, his investment can also produce economic benefits, okay?

  An Feng asked: "Then which team do you plan to invest in?"

Khaled said: "I originally wanted to invest in the most valuable Manchester United, but it is worth about 1.1 billion pounds, which is not cost-effective, so Arsenal, which is too expensive, was also excluded. But it can't be too famous, and played a few games. The ball can't just lie down. So teams with a value of 300 million to 500 million can be considered.”

  An Feng said: "Hearing what you said, I think investing in football is also very interesting."

  Khalid smiled: "Then what reason do you have?"

   "Reason?" An Feng held his chin and thought, as if... no.

  Khalid's plan to buy a football team looks like a local tyrant, but actually has a deep purpose. An Feng wants to buy a team, which looks like a local tyrant, but he is really a local tyrant!

   "Yes!" An Feng thought, "I can promote the Medical Research Center!"

   "Research center?" Khaled was puzzled.

  An Feng said: "Have you heard of 'Jean and Tima Medical Research Center'?"

  Khalid suddenly realized: "Is it the recent uproar, a medical research center where a wealthy man in the United Arab Emirates is also scheduled to go to the United States to treat cancer?"

   "Of course, that's it!" An Feng said proudly, enjoying the admiration.

   "Then why do you invest in advertising!" Khaled was speechless, "The whole world knows about it, so why not just strike while the iron is hot?"

"It's not the same." An Feng shook his head, "In some aspects of biological research and development, it has little to do with cancer...Maybe we should really publicize it so that everyone can understand its strength. Advertisement for a security company...does this seem to be more affordable?"

  Listening to his words, Khaled felt a little speechless.

  An Feng turned his head and asked: "Khalid, do you think it's appropriate to use the team to promote the security company?"

"What's inappropriate?" Khaled asked back, "Everyone's purpose is very complicated, and there are people who promote the bank through the team! Didn't you say it earlier, you want to promote medicine through the team. But our side It is to enhance the international status, as long as you dare to think, nothing is impossible!"

An Feng thought about it, and it's not impossible, but there are still a lot of places to spend money, and the team that can promote him must be well-known, and the performance must be good. Understand these principles. But these teams cost four to five billion... or pounds!

Taking Manchester City as an example, under the Markham system, it is worth about 410 million pounds, and it would cost more than 700 million U.S. dollars. This is not cheap, and the business expenses in this area are not in the United States, so it seems that they cannot be deducted. Too many, not in line with Anfeng's current consumption focus.

This year's Anfeng seems to be rich, but there is still not much spare money. Some of the money has to be included in the luxury house expenses, and some of it is needed for the race track. The issue of tax credits for business expenditures is still a good deal for American consumption.

  In the long run, investing in sports is a good choice. It is an advertising method with a huge impact, and it can also be aggressive... But with the current level of funds, it is not enough to consume, so it can only be included in the plan first. In the second or third year, when there is really nowhere to spend the money, burn it hard.

  PS: Which team do you want to belong to?
