"George, how much hope do you have for London to win the right to host the Olympic Games this time?" Although they were not able to attend the Olympic Committee meeting that was related to the fate of Tottenham, George and Elizabeth still paid close attention to London through live TV. The progress of the Olympic bid.
"It's hard to say, after all, Paris and Madrid are both strong. It's not easy for London to defeat these two opponents." Because of the previous meeting with Sebastian Cote, chairman of the London Olympics Bid Committee There had been communication, so George knew that this time a total of five candidate cities had joined the battle for the right to host the 2012 Summer Olympics. However, New York and Moscow are not fully prepared for their Olympic bids, and their participation is more important. Therefore, only Paris and Madrid can be regarded as London's strong rivals on the road to bid for the Olympics!
The first person to take the stage to make a statement was the Paris delegation, one of the favorites to win the prize. In order to show the importance and support for Paris' Olympic bid, the Paris delegation not only made extremely detailed preparations, but also invited the famous director Luc Besson to produce a promotional video for the Olympic bid, linking Paris, known as the Flower Capital, with The Olympic Movement comes together perfectly! In addition, French President Chirac even came to the scene to speak in person, using practical actions to build momentum for the Paris delegation’s bid for the Olympics!
After the Paris representative finished his statement, although the representatives from New York and Moscow who took the stage next performed well, it can be seen from the promotional video and the subsequent question and answer session that their preparations were still much worse than those in Paris. If nothing else, these two cities should be the first to be eliminated!
The London delegation was scheduled to take the stage fourth. Compared with the previous life, the London delegation in this life seemed more confident when they took the stage to make a statement. Because after getting George's commitment and signing the cooperation agreement, the biggest weakness of London's Olympic bid, that is, the problem of funding no longer exists!
The last one to take the stage was the Madrid delegation. Although Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero personally took the stage to make an opening speech and expressed the Spanish government's support for Madrid's bid to host the Olympic Games. Madrid also showed its advantages and used celebrities in the promotional video. However, due to the Madrid bombings a year ago, , making members doubtful of Madrid's security forces. Therefore, although Madrid's probability of winning the bid is higher than that of New York and Moscow, it is still not as good as Paris and London, the two favorites.
In the end, after four rounds of voting, London narrowly defeated Paris by a narrow margin of four votes in the final round of voting, successfully winning the right to host the 30th Summer Olympics!
Since London had hosted the Olympic Games in 2012, when the right to host the 2012 Olympic Games was finalized, London became the first city to host the Olympic Games three times!
"The big deal has been decided!" When he saw Olympic Committee President Rogge announcing that London had won the right to host the 2012 Summer Olympics, George excitedly waved his fist and high-fived Elizabeth sitting next to him. "Ellie, tell John, let He immediately started taking action according to the original plan!"
With London successfully winning the right to host the 2012 Summer Olympics, this means that the cooperation agreement signed by George through Trafalgar Company and the London Olympic Bid Committee has finally come to be officially implemented!
George was quite excited when he thought that after completing this project, he would have an inexhaustible super gold mine, and at the same time, his business scope would expand from the investment industry to the real estate field. For George, money has long been just a number, but this does not mean that he does not like to see this number continue to increase!
Of course, before the official start of construction, it is extremely necessary to sign a formal contract with the London Olympic Bid Committee, which has been reorganized into the London Olympic Organizing Committee. After all, the cooperation agreement previously reached by the two parties only delineated a broad framework, and many detailed terms have not yet been fully implemented. For example, the specific delivery date of various facilities, as well as the time period during which the income from the Olympic Park and Olympic Village will belong to the London Olympic Organizing Committee, etc., all need to be finalized bit by bit by George sending people to the Olympic Organizing Committee!
Based on the contract finally signed by both parties, George can determine the next action plan to ensure that he can do the most things with the least money!
Although the total amount of funds required for the entire London Olympics project is very huge, even if all the cash that George can raise now is used, it will not be able to fill this big hole. But don't forget, no one will run such a large-scale project these days. All the time should be paid for by yourself?
And, what is Trafalgar Company best at? There is no doubt that it is capital operation! This point is excellently reflected in the plan submitted by John Smith - according to his previous plan, George actually only needs to provide about 800 million pounds of funds for preliminary construction, and then the already built buildings can be fully The future earnings of the real estate and various competition venues are mortgaged to the bank, and subsequent construction work is completed through bank loans!
Considering that the London City Government intends to use the Olympic Games to build the area where Tottenham is located into a new business district in London, that is, the central business district, which highly concentrates the city's economic, technological and cultural power and is the core area of a city), Its profitability is promising, and there should be many banks willing to provide George with such a loan!
This way, George can take on this large project without using too much cash flow!
The reason why George believes that banks will be willing to provide him with such a huge loan instead of shutting himself out is that he believes that they can see the future profitability of the new CBD and Olympic Park and Olympic Village is only part of the reason. The main reason is that the Trafalgar Company controlled by George is the major shareholder of Apple and Google, and is the parent company of emerging technology companies such as Facebook and Twitter!
In other words, even if the income from these facilities does not meet expectations in the future, the bank does not have to worry that George will not be able to repay the money - you know, just the stocks of Google and Facebook in George's hands, the total amount at this time The value has exceeded 10 billion US dollars!
Therefore, if the London Olympic Organizing Committee uses these incomes as collateral for loans from banks, then the most likely result for Sebastian Coe is to be in trouble. Because they simply don’t have George’s high-quality assets that can reassure the super consortium behind these banks, and the strong economic strength to ensure that these loans will not turn into bad debts!
