Chapter 399: The deal with William
Three days later, Yang Cheng took Susu to fly to London on the Jason, along with Zheng Jiaxuan. It is rare that Zheng Yuhan, who has been with him, did not go with him.
After a long flight, after arriving in London, Yang Chen stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel next to Hyde Park. The purpose of this trip to London was to announce his arrival to the Sky TV board of directors, and to attend the Premier League committee joint meeting. Three years of Premier League copyright negotiations have gradually come to an end. The clubs are about to stage a battle for their own interests-broadcasting rights income. How can he be absent from such an important matter as the owner of Liverpool.
Therefore, he did not return to the North Sea Manor and chose to live near Hyde Park for the convenience of travel. After all, London is also a famous blockade. Moreover, the North Sea Manor is undergoing renovation, and he will have to delay the renovation process when he goes back.
Settled in the hotel and greeted Zheng Jiaxuan, Yang Cheng hurriedly left while sitting on the Rolls Royce that came from Beihai Manor. Before coming, he specifically called Prince William to meet at a secret club and was helping Zheng Jiaxuan. Before the introduction, he had to communicate with Prince William.
After the car drove for more than 20 minutes, a building on the Thames River, which covers a small area but has a typical baroque style, slowly came into view. It contrasted with the nearby St. Paul’s Cathedral. Yang Cheng had never been to St. Paul’s Cathedral. , And I don’t know what mysterious club is around here, just follow the address given to him by Prince William.
He is now located on the north bank of the Thames River. London in the low temperature in winter seems rather bleak. The Thames River not far away flows quietly, the sky is drizzling, and his clothes are always wet.
The car stopped in front of this Baroque building about 4 stories high. Yang Cheng quickly got out of the car and trot up the steps. He stopped for a moment in front of the colorful glazed glass door, which could only accommodate two people at the same time. Slowly opened, a typical British butler with a temperament similar to Carson greeted him with a cordial smile, "Mr. Yang, I am sorry to keep you waiting. His Royal Highness is already waiting in the room, please come with me."
Yang Cheng came here for the first time, not knowing the rules, did not speak much, put on the most standard smile, silently followed the housekeeper into the building, the crystal chandelier above his head glowed with a creamy warm glow, instantly driving away the cold inside Stepping on the soft Persian carpet, looking around, similar to other top clubs, the luxurious and classically decorated welcome hall on the first floor seems to be just a decoration, the real world is on the other floors.
In this building that has a history of at least a hundred years, don't think that there are high-tech products such as elevators. If you want to get to the highest level, don't be lazy and climb the stairs with peace of mind.
The wide but not steep stairs meander up to the top of the building. Under the leadership of the housekeeper, it doesn’t take much effort. Two people go up to the fourth floor one after the other. It seems to be a huge living room with enough area. Several hundred square meters, the design style is no different from the castle of his Beihai Manor.
In the fireplace on the left, the fire was blazing, and a circle of palace sofas was placed around the fireplace. A figure was facing Yang Cheng with his back, as if he was looking down reading a book? But this person doesn't need to guess who it is. The ancestral Mediterranean head shape of the Windsor family is well reflected in William.
The old butler first stepped forward and bent over to ask William for instructions. Before he could finish his words, William turned and waved to Yang Cheng, "Come on, I'm just here too."
Yang Cheng politely thanked the old housekeeper and ordered a cup of hot chocolate. He sat casually on the sofa next to William and exhaled heavily, "It's still warm inside, but it's too cold outside."
Although it is difficult for London’s winter temperature to drop below zero, no one can bear the demon wind that does not know when, and the drizzle that spreads all over the sky. Not to mention the high latitudes of London, even in the tropics. Can not be rained every day.
William stretched out his hands helplessly, "Jason, I think you should have been used to the London weather."
Yang Cheng smiled and took the hot chocolate from the old butler, and took a sip, with a wonderful sweet and greasy taste, passing through his heart with heat, and he felt that he was alive.
"Only God, the old man, knows how much I resent the **** weather in London." Yang Cheng continued jokingly.
After a pause, he looked around curiously for a while, and he and William were the only two in the huge living room. They felt that they could hear the echo when they spoke a little louder.
He stretched out his index finger and drew a random circle in the air, and asked curiously, "By the way, I have never heard of it. What kind of club is it? There is no one at all? Or did you make a reservation?"
William casually put the later books on the coffee table, took a sip of the coffee, and introduced with a smile, "It's strange that you know, this was a private hotel owned by the royal family before, and it was transformed into a royal family by his grandmother. The dedicated club is used by royal family members to receive their friends. The privacy and security level is mentioned as the highest. Don’t worry about the conversation being leaked. By the way, if you haven’t arranged a hotel, you can also live here."
Yang Cheng nodded suddenly, no wonder he had never heard of it. He took another sip of hot chocolate, cleared his throat, and told William about his deal with Zheng Jiaxuan, and at the same time made a small suggestion.
William asked with an absurd look, "So you mean, you want me to acquire the Glencore oil storage business from Alex Bilder in advance, and then change hands to make a difference? Not only that, you want the other party. Replace the shares of Sky TV? Jason, what kind of medicine do you sell in this gourd?"
Yang Cheng’s idea is very simple. Since Zheng Jiaxuan is unwilling to reveal his mysterious background, he doesn’t bother to inquire, and treats him as a transaction party. In that case, he can’t live without slaughtering the pork delivered to his door. .
With a sinister smile, he explained, "I have counted it. The total value of the Glencore Group’s oil storage business is no more than 2 billion US dollars, which is about 1.5 billion pounds. It is impossible for Zheng Jiaxuan to spend such a long time just to buy shares. He must seek A wholly-owned acquisition or a holding acquisition, then he must take at least 51% of the shares.
According to the price I set for him, he needs to put out at least 760 million pounds, which is about 3.5% of the shares of Sky TV. Of course, whether he will generate a premium during the acquisition process is beyond our control.
So my thought is, can you take the oil storage business from Alex Bilder ahead of time at a price of less than 760 million pounds, and the difference in price will be divided between you and me, that is, wait After understanding the matter, I will compensate you 50% of the difference in cash. "
William unconsciously unbuttoned his shirt collar, took a sip of coffee to calm himself down, and confirmed to Yang Cheng again, "For example, if I can persuade Alex Bilder to spend 560 million If the British pound wins Glencore's oil storage business, I can get 100 million pounds in cash compensation. Is my understanding correct?"
Yang Cheng smiled triumphantly, and gave a thumbs up, "All right! How about? Is this deal done?"
With such a toss, Yang Cheng has taken a lot of money from Zheng Jiaxuan. He can retaliate against him for using him twice in a row without telling himself the truth, and he can also win Sky TV at a relatively low price. Of shares.
If everything goes well, plus he has twice obtained more than 10% of the shares from Zheng Jiaxuan and the shares he acquired from the stock market retail investors, the total holding of more than 20% is not a problem.
As far as William is concerned, this tm is just picking up money for nothing. His majestic Duke of England, the royal prince, is the superficial scenery. In fact, there is a shortage of money. If you want to buy a luxury car, you have to hesitate for a long time. With billions of pounds in cash, his quality of life will be a qualitative leap. Don't say anything simple, usually in order to maintain his prince's glorious image, spending money like water, relying on royal subsidies and his side business is far from enough.
Of course, there is a premise for William’s 100 million pounds. He has to get Alex Bilder to agree to the deal at the price he envisioned, so that he can get 100 million pounds. With a price difference of tens of millions, he didn't earn that much, but no matter how small the mosquito legs were, they were meat. At least the big pie drawn by Yang Cheng was enough for William to be moved.
"Okay, I did this business, do you have time to ask for it?" William gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, making up his mind.
Yang Cheng, who had everything under control, smiled with satisfaction, “The more you open, the better. I will join the Sky TV’s board of directors soon. If I can get more shares before that, the better it will be for me.”
William solemnly replied, "I understand, I will go to Alex."
William, who was filled with 100 million pounds in his mind, could not have the mind to drink coffee with Yang Cheng, get things done early and make money early, 100 million pounds, enough milk powder for his son and daughter.
Yang Cheng looked bitterly at the back of William leaving~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The empty living room only left him alone, the dark clouds outside, there was no sunlight, and the silence inside the building was scary. This place can’t be more. Stay, easy to have nightmares.
After a bite of the hot chocolate in the cup, he followed William’s footsteps and left the club. The khaki Rolls Royce Phantom, like a moving palace, Yang Cheng sat on his exclusive throne, closed his eyes, and quietly Thinking of tomorrow's Premier League club chairman meeting, what will it look like, and what role he will play in it.
The current Premier League broadcast contract was signed three years ago. The contract stipulates that in the 2013-2016 season, the total amount of local broadcast rights in the Premier League will reach 3.018 billion pounds. This is the case when Sky Sports has more than BT's opponent.
Sky Sports bought the live broadcast rights for 116 games for £2.28 billion, and British Telecom spent £738 million for the live broadcast rights for 38 games.
Now, those participating in the local broadcast rights bidding for the 2016-2019 season of the Premier League, in addition to Sky Sports and British Telecom, have also joined two foreign competitors: Discovery Channel in the United States and BeIN TV Station in Qatar. Although Sky Sports has the biggest win, the negotiations have not stopped for a second, and no one dares to fight for the guarantee. After all, this is also related to Yang Cheng's interests. He naturally hopes that Sky Sports will defeat all opponents and win the final victory.
The substantial increase in Premier League broadcast revenue is a great boon for Premier League teams. Each club can get a lot of broadcast share from it, thereby increasing investment and making league competition more intense. This virtuous circle has also made the Premier League the second most expensive league in the world, and buyers from all walks of life are eager for the broadcast rights of the game.
