"Viscount Nelson, you have worked really hard. It is obviously a cocktail party to celebrate the team's successful victory in the Champions League, but you have to be distracted by dealing with the affairs of these clubs." He just sent off Ta, who came to congratulate him as a representative of the Qatar Investment Authority. Mim Al Thani, George heard a voice that was not unfamiliar to him coming from behind him, "If it were me, I would have been overwhelmed by these tedious things, and I don't know what to do." It’s too late.”
"Your Highness is overly complimentary." George chuckled and turned around. At the same time, he picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with Prince William. After taking a sip, he said, "Who made me the owner and head coach of Tottenham Hotspur? ?If I don’t come out to receive them personally, then it will be my Tottenham that will suffer the loss. This is my responsibility as the club owner, and I will not blame it on others.”
Although George always said that he wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and there were many capable subordinates under him, the actual situation was that as long as it was within the scope of George's responsibilities, he had never shied away once, and the worst was not I will first negotiate a general framework with the other party, and then let my subordinates work freely within this framework. This is also the main reason why although John Smith and Adele verbally complained that George always left the work to them, they never really expressed dissatisfaction - for the current family has a large business and obviously plans to spend most of it. For George, who devotes his energy to coaching the team, it is not easy to achieve this point. If he is allowed to take on more work, I am afraid that George will die like Zhuge Wuhou!
"Haha, if you really treat me as a friend, then don't call me Your Highness, just call me William." Although the British royal family has always paid attention to etiquette, and the rules are so complicated that it makes people's scalp numb, but as a The younger generation of the royal family, Prince William, who is two years younger than George, does not have extremely strict requirements on these rules like his grandmother, the current Queen Elizabeth II of England. Not to mention, George’s answer just now is quite in line with Prince William’s appetite and values, which aroused the latter’s desire to further get to know George, “After all, this is just a private conversation between the two of us, not a formal meeting. , there is no need to be so formal, doing so will only ruin the atmosphere of this conversation."
"In that case, I'd rather be respectful than obey. Accordingly, William, just call me George." Seeing Prince William say this, George couldn't help but smiled and responded, and changed his title by the way. Although the British royal family does not have a lot of money and even faces the dilemma of being unable to make ends meet every year, no one dares to look down upon them because of this. Even in this era, the British royal family still has a very prominent social status and strong influence around the world. Therefore, it can be said that George is happy to see the results of establishing a good relationship with the royal family.
After a brief polite exchange, the two parties chose a remote location to sit down and began to chat leisurely. From Tottenham's victory in the Champions League this season to George's generous assistance during the preparations for the Olympic bid to help the London Olympics bid committee overcome difficulties, Prince William used warm but not flattering words to express George's contribution to English football and the British sports community. These contributions are highly appreciated. Faced with Prince William's praise, George did not show a arrogant attitude, but humbly said that this is what he should do...
As the saying goes, people carry people in a sedan chair. Since the other party was the first to express goodwill towards him, George would not be stupid enough to reject Prince William and the British royal family behind him. Therefore, George would spend time having such a business exchange with the other party to increase their favorability.
"George, to be honest, I really admire you." At this time, Prince William said in a sincere tone, "You also know that although we members of the royal family seem to have a lot of glory, we actually have very little funds to mobilize. It's so pitiful that most of the income has to be used for various charitable donations and real estate maintenance. Therefore, He built a family business worth tens of billions of dollars in his early twenties, and this was without any family support. Comparing you, George, who has achieved such an achievement under such circumstances, really makes me feel ashamed."
"William, what you said is really too self-effacing." Knowing that the other party was preparing to change the topic to the right track, George quickly made a statement, "William, if you or the royal family need my help in any way, please Although I have mentioned it, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help! "
"By the way, the Prince of Kent mentioned to me that George, you plan to discuss the purchase of Kensington Palace with Her Majesty the Queen after the Champions League final." Seeing the hint given by George, Prince William did not continue to talk in circles and took the initiative. Clarifying the true intention of his trip, "Now that Tottenham have won the Champions League and the 2004-05 season has ended, can we have a serious discussion on this matter?"
That’s what I’ve been waiting for! Seeing Prince William mention the Kensington Palace matter, George immediately felt confident and knew how to deal with the young man in front of him.
George knew very well that Prince William would take the initiative to find him, not just to congratulate him and get closer to him, but because he must have more important things to discuss with him. Looking at it now, his hunch was indeed correct. Prince William came here just to discuss with him how to resolve the sale of Kensington Palace without affecting the bottom lines of all parties!
Taking over Kensington Palace was George's plan after he learned that the British royal family intended to sell the palace. However, he has not taken any actual action in the past few years. Because although the British royal family has always wanted to sell Kensington Palace at a high price for cost-saving reasons to alleviate the serious lack of liquidity in the royal family, the conditions they offered were really unacceptable to George - both They want to make a lot of money from me, and they don’t plan to sell all the ownership of this palace to me. They just want to give me the right to use it for a period of time, and the royal family can also share all of Kensington Palace during this period. Right to use, your guys’ calculations are too pretty, right? !
You must know that in George's plan, Kensington Palace is one of the main private residences for him and Ellie after their marriage. Confidentiality and security must be treated with emphasis. And if he accepts the conditions offered by the British royal family, then these two things will be out of the question!
It is precisely for this reason that George has never launched any substantive negotiations with the British royal family on the Kensington Palace matter. Instead, he chose the strategy of avoiding talking and deliberately ignored the matter. See After the royal family, which was constantly running into walls, had to proactively lower its demands under pressure, it released the news that it planned to buy Kensington Palace.
The reason why George made this decision was because after leading Tottenham to win the Champions League, he planned to use this championship trophy as a gift to propose to Ellie! Under such circumstances, he naturally had to put the purchase of Kensington Palace, which he had already fancied, on his agenda to prepare for the next proposal!
In this way, in a few words, the two reached a preliminary consensus on the transfer of Kensington Palace. Prince William, who had consulted Elizabeth II in advance, no longer insisted on the previous condition of only selling the right to use the palace for a certain period of time, and agreed to George's request to buy the permanent ownership of Kensington Palace; in exchange, George stated that he would purchase the permanent ownership of Kensington Palace in the future. Kensington Palace is being renovated and a part of the palace is isolated for the royal family to live in!
As for the specific matters that follow, there is no need for big figures like George and Prince William to deal with it personally. It can be left to the professionals under them to handle it.
