money trouble

Chapter 324 One Mountain Holds Two Tigers
Wu Qian made successive moves within two days, all of which he acquired were large projects, involving an amount of up to 90 billion pounds. This kind of investment behavior will naturally attract the attention of all relevant departments.

Fortunately, the attitudes of all relevant departments and high-level officials are positive.

Britain's current economic situation is not good, and it desperately needs fresh blood from the outside world. They welcome investors from all over the world, and they will meet the capitalists' requirements at the expense of part of the interests of leeks.

Some people in the royal family even asked whether they should consider awarding this young man named Wu Qian an honor. In the end, they did not reach a consensus on the matter of awarding the honor, so they gave it up temporarily, but they will definitely pay close attention.

There is no requirement for the nationality of the recipients of royal honors, and there have been precedents for non-British nationals to obtain knighthoods. Mr. Li is a Canadian citizen. Because of his investment in the UK, he was awarded an honor by the Queen of England and became a veritable nobleman.

Nowadays, there is no real benefit to granting honors and titles, but it is a kind of honor and umbrella, which has an unparalleled effect in certain circles.

Wu Qian naturally didn't know that he almost became a jazz, and at the moment he was thinking about the football club.

At this point, he finally understood what Rapo Elkann had told him.

What kind of business is profitable, interesting, and passionate?Raise a football club!

The beauty of Thames Water is the result, I'm making money!The process is nothing to enjoy, and it can even be said to be tedious without a technical investment.

Do you go to check the pipeline in person every day, obviously there is no water leakage, deliberately drill a hole and then fill it up, increase GDP while making the outside world feel that the group has done a real thing; or just adjust the booster pump when you have nothing to do startled...

Football clubs are different, with high participation and playability!
Training, competitions, attending events, holding public welfare projects, visiting sponsors' groups, not only the first team, but also the reserve team, second line, youth training team, etc., as long as you want to play, you are too busy.

Wu Qian's thoughts had already flown to the Carrington training base. The senior person in charge of the Thames Water Company proposed to invite Wu to visit, but he politely refused.

It is said that they will go there and arrange together after finding the personnel for the relevant positions, but Wu Qian asked Weissman and his party to go to the company to set up an additional agreement on share changes, and then go to the Carrington training base to find him to sign, by the way Complete the club deal.

The operation and supervision model of Thames Water Company is completely different from that of Harrods. If it is not a technology investment, the shareholders are very relaxed and there are very few things to manage. The financial affairs are checked every quarter, which is similar to buying a financial management...

Thames Water has more than a dozen shareholders, seven or eight of which are invisible, do not participate in management, and wait for the money to be distributed every quarter.

The typical example is that those who have money contribute money, and those who have no money contribute.

"I hope there will be no troubles at Avram, and I hope everything goes well..." Wu Qian couldn't help thinking while looking at the scenery outside the window.

Manchester United's training base is located in the Carrington area in the west of downtown Manchester. It takes about ten kilometers for the players to drive from the training base to the Old Trafford Stadium. When the traffic conditions are good, it takes only a quarter of an hour.

Manchester is an industrial city with a long history. The Carrington area was once a famous chemical industry area, famous for its natural gas and chemical plants. The international giant Shell Petroleum Group once set up factories here.

In recent decades, in order to protect the local natural ecological environment, the local government has closed many old factories. Now Carrington can no longer feel the traditional British industrial atmosphere. On the contrary, it is more of a peaceful and comfortable British rural scenery. Many factories are hidden in the green forest.

Wu Qian and his party were galloping on the path in the forest with two cars. He received a call from Lapo Elkann, saying that everyone who should be there had already arrived, and he was the only one missing.

"Everyone is more anxious than me, yes, they are all making money, I spend money..." Wu Qian muttered softly while looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Cooks glanced at the navigation and said, "Boss, don't worry, we'll be there soon."

Surrounded by green trees on both sides of the road, it is very quiet. Occasionally, buildings appear from among the trees. There is nothing unique about them. Passing through here at night will look a little eerie.

Wu Qian didn't know the situation of this road, but David knew it very well, because he is a die-hard fan of Manchester United. He knew it when he saw the "Carrington" roadside sign on the roadside. "The training ground is not far away.

For many Manchester United fans, this is the holy place in their hearts. From time to time, fans from far or near come here to make a pilgrimage, waiting for their favorite star to pass by. If you can get an autograph of the star, it will be a worthwhile trip .

but……

Before entering the Carrington training base, you will first pass through the training base of Manchester City Club...

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, but one city can accommodate such two top European football clubs, and they have coexisted for hundreds of years. There are love and hatred between each other, and the stories continue.

In the [-]-year history of the Manchester United club, the team has borrowed Manchester City's Maine Road Stadium because of the bombing of the Old Trafford Stadium.

Now, the training grounds of the two clubs are so close to each other, I have to say this is a kind of...fate!

"Boss, don't be surprised for a while, because you will see a very impressive training base first, but it is not owned by Manchester United...it is the training base of Manchester City."

Cooks vaccinated Wu Qian in advance, because he had vaguely seen the magnificent gate of Manchester City's training base.

"I... I'm on a horse, is that okay?"

Wu Qian was speechless, driving very fast. He also saw the Manchester City training base. The big logo of the Manchester City club was hung on the gate.

Some vehicles gathered not far from the wall of the training base, which seemed to be fans, and some people were standing under the wall, chatting and smoking.

"No way, the only way, haha. Boss, the two clubs are very close. During training, a player with excellent foot strength can kick the football into the opponent's training base with a sudden kick. You said that if that is the case, yes To pick it up or not to pick it up?"

Cooks smiled badly and asked a very interesting question.

"Haha, of course we have to pick it up, those are the property of the club!" Wu Qian also joked.
