Night, London's West End, Notting Hill at the northwest corner of Hyde Park.
The newly opened Wangjiangge No. 4 store is brightly lit.
There were all kinds of luxury cars parked on both sides of the narrow road outside the gate.
The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the luxury bus of Southampton, the Saints who just won the championship at Wembley Stadium.
Gentlemen in neat suits, holding elegant female companions on their arms, walked into Wangjiang Pavilion one after another, attracting a group of dozens of reporters stationed outside the gate of Wangjiang Pavilion to take crazy photos.
All those who appear here tonight are famous British political and business figures.
After watching Southampton's reversal of Manchester United in the final at Wembley Stadium, they all received invitations to attend Southampton's celebration banquet at Wangjiangge Store No. 4.
"Congratulations, congratulations" "Congratulations, Mr.
Yang Huan" "Well done, Saints, congratulations on winning the championship."
Every guest who walked through the gate of Wangjiang Pavilion smiled and shook hands with Yang Huan to congratulate him.
Being able to defeat the Premier League champion Manchester United as a third-tier league team and win the FA Cup.
This honor has never happened before in the history of English football for more than 100 years.
Just for this honor, they deserve all the praise.
"Thank you, Chairman Bernstein.
Sit inside."
"Mr.
Yang Huan, we are very much looking forward to seeing you Southampton return to the Premier League.
Please do your best."
"Thank you, Mr.
Scudmore" "Howard, you have to greet Mr.
Scudmore for me."
"Of course, don't worry, Master Huan" Yang Huan smiled and welcomed a number of senior British football officials, including FA Chairman David Bernstein, Premier League CEO Scude Moore, Coaches Union Chairman Howard Wilkinson and Players Union Chairman.
Football is very popular in the social circles of the British upper class.
Even discussing football is the most popular topic among political and business celebrities.
Therefore, Bernstein, Wilkinson and other highly respected authorities in the football circle are very popular in the upper class society.
Still very popular.
Even Prince William and his wife paid homage to them.
"Congratulations, Mr.
Yang Huan" As soon as the front foot welcomed the guests in, another person came in immediately from the back foot.
It was the white-haired London Mayor Boris Johnson, accompanied by Terry Matthews, the future mayor of Southampton, who walked into the door of Wangjiangge No. 3 store.
"Thank you, Mayor Johnson."
Yang Huan greeted him with a smile.
Although Yang Huan does not have a good impression of Boris Johnson, the London mayor said a few things that made the Chinese feel uncomfortable when he was running for office.
But after all, it was just for votes, and now people are actively trying to get close to her.
Our ancestors have a saying, don't hit the smiling person with your stretched out hand.
Forget it, as long as he doesn't say it again.
"Mr.
Yang Huan, Terry and I have already understood what happened this time.
Don't worry, we have already taken care of everything.
Terry Adams and his gang, we will not let anyone go."
Boris Johnson solemnly assured road.
Although he is only the mayor, he and the conservative party behind him are still quite capable.
There has been talk that Boris Johnson’s future will be as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Terry Matthews also said: "We already have enough evidence to prosecute them.
Terry Adams, the first offender, will spend at least twenty or thirty years in prison."

Yang Huan was quite satisfied with the result.
When something like this happened, he was more concerned about how to strengthen the security measures for himself and those around him.
It seems that Long Wuduo has to recruit a few experts to help him.
"By the way, I heard from Terry that Mr.
Yang Huan is interested in buying property in London."
Boris Johnson suddenly asked with a smile.
Yang Huan was stunned.
At this moment, he saw Cash Harris walking in with a stranger.
He nodded towards Yang Huan from a distance, indicating that he had time to talk, so he took this opportunity to think about it.
This sentence.
"Yes" Yang Huan decided to confess, he believed Terry Matthews.
"According to our preliminary estimates, Wangjiangge will open at least three or four branches in London.
Currently, it has only opened two.
Moreover, the housing prices in London are now very low, and many people want to buy property in London."
The most typical one is that a large consortium from the Middle East bought almost the entire Knight Street in one go.
All we can say is that those Middle Easterners are extremely rich.
"If Mr.
Yang Huan is interested, then I suggest you do it as soon as possible."
Boris Johnson said with a smile.
Yang Huan also smiled slightly, "Please tell me."
Boris Johnson looked around to make sure no one could hear him, then moved closer, "London is currently discussing a 7% stamp duty on purchases of properties over two million pounds starting from 2013. and the imposition of capital gains tax on foreigners starting in 2015.”
After Yang Huan heard this, he was a little stunned and didn't react for a while. 2013 and 2015, but it’s only 2011 now why as soon as possible But Boris Johnson didn't say much, and walked into the lobby after saying a few more polite words to Yang Huan.
"Old Sun, you and Nicholas are here to receive the guests."
Sun Yue and Nicola Cortez immediately walked to the gate to greet the guests.
Yang Huan felt that Boris Johnson's words were a bit strange, "Lao Wu, go and call Zhao Yuanfang."
Soon, Zhao Yuanfang arrived.
Yang Huan paraphrased what Boris Johnson just said.
"Yuanfang, what do you think?"
Yang Huan asked.
Zhao Yuanfang was immediately overjoyed, "Master Huan, this is an excellent opportunity."
"What's the meaning" “What do you think property investors will do once London announces stamp duty and capital gains tax on purchases?”
Yang Huan understood, "You mean, everyone will take action first."
"Yes, once the news comes out, investors from all over the world will flock in.
London's housing prices will definitely skyrocket in a short period of time.
All investors will rush to buy before the policy is introduced, especially in the core areas of London."
Yang Huan listened silently.
This aspect was not his strong point.
"The rental return rate in London is the highest among all major cities in the world, especially in the core areas.
After tax, it is as high as 5% or even as high as 6%.
In our country, the capital and Longhai are only at most Two percent.”
After Zhao Yuanfang calculated this, Yang Huan really understood.
If you dare to buy at the bottom now, even if you don’t sell it while the value rises, it is still a good thing to keep it in hand to collect rent.
"The whole world thinks that the oil tycoons in the Middle East are stupid and make money quickly, but in my opinion, they are the smartest in the world."
Yang Huan really admired this group of people in the Middle East.
Oil has its limits, especially with revolutionary advances in shale gas and other energy sources.

In the long run, oil will gradually be replaced.
Therefore, the wealthy people in the Middle East are now taking the money earned from oil and investing it in other fields, such as media, real estate, tourism, etc.
These are investment projects with very long-term value.
"Who says it's not the case?"
Zhao Yuanfang also laughed, "Which rich person is stupid?"
Even Abramovich is buying a lot of properties in London, let alone others.
Besides, if rich people don’t understand themselves, why don’t they know how to hire people?
"Boris Johnson told me this news.
It is clear that he wants to reciprocate the favor and return a favor to me."
Yang Huan swept forward.
Boris Johnson, who was bragging with Prince William and his wife in the lobby, seemed to have sensed it and replied.
He turned around and nodded at Yang Huan with a smile.
"Such a good opportunity, if you don't make money, you won't make it in vain.
Anyway, Cash Harris is eager for me to get a loan."
Zhao Yuanfang heard this and knew that the time had come for him to show his loyalty.
What Young Master Huan valued most was the ability of his subordinates.
He didn't realize that although Sun Yue's toady was always criticized, he was the most favored by Young Master Huan because of his ability to do things.
"I'll go get ready tomorrow" Yang Huan nodded, "It's up to you to take care of this kind of thing."
"clear" "By the way, tell my dad the news, it will be easier for him."
Zhao Yuanfang knew that this was her chance to come forward, so she excitedly agreed.
As soon as Yang Huan stood up, another person came up to him.
"Hello, Mr.
Yang Huan."
This man has sharp edges and corners, is quite big, and looks quite imposing.
"Hello, who are you?"
Yang Huan didn't recognize him.
"I am Marcus Bowman, Senior Vice President of Adidas Football Division," he said, and he also presented an exquisitely designed business card with both hands.
"Adidas" Yang Huan took the business card and understood.
I bet this is money delivered to your door.
"Hello, Mr.
Bowman" He immediately stretched out his hand with a smile.
When people send you money, you can't be so repulsive as to be thousands of miles away, right?
"Mr.
Yang Huan, first of all, on behalf of the company, I would like to congratulate Southampton on winning the FA Cup.
This is a very, very great honor.
At the same time, we are also very optimistic about Southampton's future development, especially next season."
After a pause, Marcus Bowman said with great confidence: "We believe that Southampton will not only return to the Premier League, but also hope to make a difference in the European competition."
"Thank you" Yang Huan replied with a faint smile.
After Marcus Baumann finished his opening remarks, he went straight to the topic.
"We understand that the contract signed between Southampton and Umbro is about to expire, and we very much hope to cooperate with an outstanding team like Southampton."
Yang Huan smiled and nodded, "Of course, we are also very happy to have the opportunity to cooperate with Adidas."
But soon, he changed the topic, "But I really want to know how your company hopes to cooperate."
Jersey sponsors including Nike, Adidas, Puma, Umbro, etc. have all had contact with Southampton before, but they have always been suppressed by Yang Huan because Southampton did not have enough say at that time.
But now the situation is completely different.
An FA Cup championship may not mean much, nor can it make everyone confident in Southampton's future.

However, Southampton will participate in the Europa League next season
Judging from the current situation, once cooperating with Adidas, the contract will definitely not be signed once a year, at least it will have to be signed for more than three years, so the sponsorship fee has become the focus of Yang Huan's greatest concern.
Of course, Southampton has some additional conditions.
"We are willing to raise another 60% on the contract between the Saints and Umbro and sign it for five years," Marcus Bowman said.
Sixty percent, that is, Adidas' bid is eight million pounds.
Calculating this amount of money, it really cannot be considered low.
If it were placed in the Premier League, it would be at the level of a mid-level team.
But Yang Huan shook his head and smiled, "Mr.
Bowman, let's talk about this matter again when we find a chance.
Tonight is our celebration banquet.
You must not get drunk without returning."
After saying that, Yang Huan stopped talking to him, smiled and turned around and left.
Cash Harris has been waiting for him in the distance.
Marcus Bowman understood what Yang Huan meant.
He was very dissatisfied with the price and didn't even want to talk more.
A team that had just been promoted to the English Championship still looked down upon an eight million pound shirt sponsorship.
He really didn't know whether he should say it was because the world was too crazy, or because Yang Huan's appetite was too big.
But when he looked at Yang Huan's back again, he immediately noticed:
