When a wealthy gold Lagonda Conqueror quickly drove up to the gate of the Landmark Hotel from Marylebone Road, the soldiers standing on both sides of the gate immediately ran forward.
"Welcome to Landmark, dear sir" Two courtesy soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, ran over to help the guests open the car door.
Another one quickly ran to the driver's seat and waited for Long Wu to get out of the car, obviously to help drive to the parking lot.
Long Wu had been following Yang Huan for a long time and knew the rules.
After getting off the bus, he casually handed over a pound.
The soldier knew how much it was without even looking at it, and he immediately said thank you ecstatically.
Afterwards, the person who opened the door and the concierge who helped open the hotel door were all tipped.
Yang Huan and Peter Kenyon walked into the hotel lobby unimpeded.
"Dear Sir, may I help you?"
Immediately, a polite middle-aged male waiter in a suit and leather shoes came up to him with a professional and kind smile on his face.
"Ah, it's Mr.
Kenyon."
Peter Kenyon represents Manchester United and Chelsea, regularly attends the Premier League Chairman's Summit and regularly stays at the Landmark Hotel.
"This is my boss, Mr.
Yang Huan," Peter Kenyon introduced with a smile.
The waiter immediately looked awe-inspiring and said, "Hello, dear Mr.
Yang Huan, welcome to Landmark."
He seemed to have guessed the purpose of Yang Huan and Peter Kenyon's visit, and immediately reached out and pointed forward.
"You two, please come this way."
Yang Huan felt from beginning to end that this butler-like waiter looked very respectful and had a very good attitude, but he was a little fake, a little too professional, and even called it deliberate.
But there is no way.
You can't ask the waiters in the hotel to be as considerate as the personal maids at home.
The hotel lobby is very traditional British, Victorian architectural style, with extremely high arched ceilings, giant chandeliers, exquisite murals and oil paintings.
Walking in it, you can deeply feel the flavor of the British aristocracy.
But after walking through the lobby, it suddenly became enlightened.
Behind the lobby is a tall and open atrium.
The atrium is divided into several dining areas.
It is afternoon tea time, and many gentlemen and ladies are sitting in it, enjoying their afternoon tea quietly.
The whole scene makes people feel warm and comfortable.
"Are they all here?"
Yang Huan asked casually.
The waiter was also smart and understood immediately, "There are still a few that haven't arrived yet."
Every three months, the Premier League Chairman's Summit is held here, which is also an honor of the Landmark Hotel.
Therefore, the hotel also attaches great importance to it.
There is even a round table conference room specially provided for their meetings on the eighth floor of the top floor.
"Then let's enjoy afternoon tea here first."
Yang Huan walked into the atrium with a smile.
"Okay, please come this way" The waiter was indeed professional and quickly led them to an unmanned dining area, which was very quiet.
After Yang Huan, Peter Kenyon and Long Wu casually ordered an afternoon tea, they sat in their seats and watched.
The Undersea Hotel in Southampton is a project that Yang Huan attaches great importance to, so in the past period of time, whenever he went to a place, he would definitely stay in the best local hotel, and even occasionally write down some thoughts and feelings. .
"The Landmark Hotel was formerly the Grand Central Station Hotel, which has been around for more than a hundred years.
It was a railway hotel in the Victorian era."
Peter Kenyon knew that Master Huan was interested in the hotel and immediately introduced it with a smile.
Anyway, when we sit down, we have to find something to talk about.
"Later, the hotel re-invited the famous architect Robert William Addis, who was always famous for his Gothic Revival architectural style, to design, which almost perfectly preserved the style of the Victorian era and also demonstrated the prosperity and prosperity of the Victorian era. " Yang Huan couldn't help but nod.

He is now well-informed, but he was still surprised when he walked into this hotel just now.
This is true for the lobby, and so is the atrium.
The layout and design of the entire hotel is indeed quite stunning.
While Yang Huan and Peter Kenyon were enjoying a peaceful afternoon tea, two more people walked in outside the hotel lobby.
The leader is a middle-aged British man in his fifties.
He is not tall, but has a round face.
The most impressive thing is the abrupt double chin, which is definitely memorable at first glance.
You don't look fat to that extent, so how can you have such a surprising double chin?
Next to this middle-aged man is an old man in his sixties.
Interestingly, both of them have similar body shapes, both are short and slightly fat, and the old man's double chin is equally obvious.
It really makes people doubt that these two people are father and son.
"That's the owner of Newcastle, Mike Ashley, and his club director Derek Lambiase."
Peter Kenyon sat opposite Yang Huan, pointed at the two people at the entrance, and introduced them.
Yang Huan said oh, it turns out they are not father and son, what a pity.
But when I think about it, I find it funny.
Why do both of them look like this?
"Mike Ashley is a rich man from the UK.
He is on the rich list.
He is worth up to 2 billion pounds.
He started in the retail industry."
Yang Huan nodded, thinking to himself that it was a good thing he brought Peter Kenyon with him, otherwise he would have been depressed.
But he does know about Ashley.
When he came to the UK and wanted to buy the team, Cash Harris mentioned Newcastle.
Ashley purchased Newcastle from former chairman Sheppard in 2007.
As a result, after the acquisition, it was discovered that Newcastle had a big bad debt, and Sheppard didn't even tell him.
Okay, I've been taken advantage of.
But Ashley is also a very personal person.
He started scolding him directly and vowed to sell Newcastle.
This will anger Newcastle fans.
Damn it, the new chairman just bought the team and in the blink of an eye he said he was going to sell it.
What do you mean?
In addition, Ashley's refusal to pay for the transfer angered the then head coach Keegan, who was so angry that Keegan left angrily.
And Ashley's life is not easy either.
Even if he offends the fans, the team still cannot be sold.
From his point of view, the asking price is indeed not excessive, because he based the acquisition price, plus the debt repayment, and finally came up with a slightly higher price, but it cost more than 300 million pounds.
But this price scared off all potential buyers, especially with the financial crisis hitting Newcastle.
But this guy's character is also a bit interesting.
He keeps shouting to sell every year, no matter how the fans scold him, that's what he does.
Not only did he say that, he also did it.
I'm afraid no one has ever seen a club owner post a sale notice directly on the official website.
That's what he does And he kept making trouble, which eventually caused Newcastle to be relegated.
Therefore, some people say that he is the most bastard boss in the Premier League.
However, in the past two years, Newcastle has established a firm foothold in the Premier League after returning to the Premier League.
Last season, it reached fifth place in the Premier League.
Newcastle seems to be showing signs of full recovery.

Like everyone who walked into the atrium of the hotel, Mike Ashley stood at the entrance and looked around.
Although Yang Huan was already sitting low-key in the corner, the fat man with sharp eyes still paid attention to him.
Not only that, he also walked up with a smile.
"Hello, Mr.
Yang Huan" Mike Ashley smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Mr.
Ashley" Yang Huan smiled politely and shook hands with him.
But I'm wondering in my heart, why are you looking for me?
We are not familiar with each other
"I heard that Mr.
Yang Huan has been having a hard time recently," Ashley said with a smile that meant something else.
Yang Huan pretended to be dumbfounded, "Why don't I know it?"
"That may be because you don't know your current situation yet."
At this point, Ashley pointed to Peter Kenyon.
"You should ask Peter, he will know better than you" Peter Kenyon smiled lightly and said, "Mr.
Ashley is joking."
"You'll find out soon if you're joking or not," the fat man laughed.
"However, I still have to remind Mr.
Yang Huan that although the Premier League has 20 teams and more and more foreign owners, many things are still decided by the local small circle."
What does it mean Yang Huan is a little depressed Damn it, you finished fifth last season, do you really think you can inherit Newcastle's previous status and influence in the Premier League?
You don’t even have to count on your fingers.
Your current Newcastle team is nothing.
"This is a kind reminder, Mr.
Yang Huan.
After all, I have to thank you."
Seeing that it was clear that he was here to put pressure on her, Yang Huan immediately laughed.
"You don't have to be so polite, Mr.
Ashley, we Chinese are always very helpful."
Ashley's face suddenly stiffened.
This girl is too shameless.
Do you understand the polite words?
"Remember Alan Pardew?"
Of course Yang Huan remembers it.
Not only does he remember it, he also knows that Alan Pardew is now the head coach of Newcastle.
After being suspended for a year, this guy came back again.
By some luck, he became the head coach of Newcastle in the Premier League.
He also led Newcastle to gain a foothold in the Premier League and finished fifth in the league last season.
Now he is famous He seems to have the potential to become a famous local coach in the Premier League.
"Alan Padu" Yang Huan clicked his tongue a few times, as if he couldn't remember who it was.
Mike Ashley is depressed.
You don’t even remember Alan Pardew, so how can I continue to pretend?
Are you so tormenting people?
Can't we cooperate a little bit?
If you ask me to pretend, I will die.
"That's the Southampton manager you fired," Ashley reminded angrily.

"Oh" Yang Huan looked like he suddenly understood.
"That loser you mentioned, I remembered it.
What happened to him?"
Ashley wanted to speak immediately, but Yang Huan beat him to it.
"I thought at the beginning that this guy has no ability at all and is just a liar.
Only a stupid and idiotic bastard boss would let such a person coach the team.
I believe that there should be no such stupid person in the entire European football world. " Mike Ashley has a fat face with a variety of expressions.
He almost started to spray on the spot.
I'm the idiot and idiot boss you call me.
But unfortunately, he couldn't say this.
You can't help yourself, right?
"Ahem," Peter Kenyon stood aside, coughed twice, and warned in a low voice in a pretentious manner.
"Master Huan, Alan Pardew is now the head coach of Newcastle United" Yang Huan was shocked and said, "Oh, no, no, I said it wrong just now.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Ashley, I didn't mean it." you didn't mean it If you didn’t fucking mean it, I’d call you grandpa "Actually, Alan Pardew is a very high-level head coach.
I am very optimistic about him.
I think he is likely to become the best head coach in the UK after Ferguson.
I believe he will be able to lead Newcastle.
If he becomes a wealthy team, I am optimistic about him.”
But these words of appreciation were extremely harsh to Mike Ashley's ears.
You are optimistic about him If you were optimistic about him, you would have fired him in the first place OK, you're fooling me, right?
Hum, let’s walk:
