Chapter 350 The Flower Falls in London

"George, how much hope do you think London has to win the Olympic Games right this time?" Although he was unable to go to the scene to watch the Olympic Committee meeting, which was related to Tottenham's fate, George and Elizabeth still closely monitored the progress of London's Olympic bid through live broadcasts.

"It's hard to say, after all, Paris and Madrid are not bad either. It's not easy for London to defeat these two opponents." Since they had communicated with London Olympic Bing Chairman Sebastian Co., before, George knew that a total of five candidate cities had joined the battle for the 2012 Summer Olympics. However, New York and Moscow's Olympic bid were not prepared for the Olympic bid, and the key was that the participation tasted heavier. Therefore, only Paris and Madrid can be regarded as strong rivals on the road to London's Olympic bid!

The first thing I came to the stage was the Paris delegation, one of the popular bids. In order to show my importance and support for the Paris Olympic bid, the Paris delegation not only made extremely detailed preparations, but also invited the famous director Luc Besson to produce an Olympic bid promotional video, perfectly combining Paris, known as the Flower Capital, with the Olympic movement! In addition, French President Chirac even arrived on the spot to speak in person, building momentum for the Paris delegation's Olympic bid action with practical actions!

After the Paris representatives finished their statements, although the representatives of New York and Moscow who were on stage performed well, it can be seen from the promotional video and the subsequent questioning session that their preparations were still much worse than those of Paris. If nothing unexpected happens, these two cities should be eliminated first!

The London delegation was arranged to take office in the fourth place. Compared with his previous life, the London delegation in this life seemed more confident when he came to the stage to make a statement. Because after receiving George's promise and signing a cooperation agreement, the biggest weakness of London's bid for the Olympic Games, that is, the financial problem no longer exists!

The last one to take office was the Madrid delegation. Although Spanish Prime Minister Zapatro personally made his opening remarks, expressing the Spanish government's support for Madrid's bid for the Olympics, Madrid also showed its advantages while playing celebrity cards in the promotional video, the members were skeptical of Madrid's security power due to the Madrid bombing a year ago. Therefore, although Madrid's chance of winning the bid is higher than that of New York and Moscow, it is still not as good as Paris and London.

In the end, after a full four rounds of voting, London defeated Paris by a slight advantage of four votes in the last round of voting, and successfully won the right to host the 30th Summer Olympics!

Since London had previously held the Olympics in 1908 and 1948, when the 2012 Olympics were held, London became the first city to host the Olympics three times!

"The big thing is decided!" When the Olympic Committee Chairman Roger announced that London had won the right to host the 2012 Summer Olympics, George excitedly waved his fist and slapped Elizabeth next to him to celebrate. "Eli, tell John, let him start the action immediately 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 and the London Olympic Bill Committee has finally come to officially implement it!

George was quite excited when he thought that after completing this project, he would get an inexhaustible super gold mine, and his career scope would also be expanded from the investment industry to the real estate sector. Although for George now, money has long been just a number, this does not mean that he doesn't like to see this number continue to increase!

Of course, before the formal start, it is extremely necessary to sign a formal contract with the London Olympic Bing Committee, which has been reorganized into the London Olympic Organizing Committee. After all, the cooperation agreement reached by both parties only sets a big box, and many details have not been fully implemented. For example, the specific delivery date of various facilities, as well as the time period for the income from the Olympic Park and Olympic Village to belong to the London Olympic Organizing Committee, etc., George needs to send someone to finalize it with the Olympic Organizing Committee!

Based on the contract that both parties finally signed, George can determine the next action plan to ensure that he can spend the least money to do the most!

Although the total amount of funds required for the entire London Olympics is very huge, even if all the cash George can raise now cannot be filled, don’t forget that no one will pay out all of this large-scale project these days when running?

Moreover, what is Trafalgar's best at? There is no doubt that it is capital operation! This is well 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 he can mortgage the future income of the already built property and various competition venues to the bank, and complete the subsequent construction work through bank loans!

Considering that the London Municipal Government intends to build the area where Tottenham is located into a new CBD in London through the Olympics (central    business                                                                                                        �

In this way, George can handle this large project without using too much cash flow!

The reason why George believes that banks will be willing to provide themselves with such a huge loan instead of keeping themselves out is that they can see that the future profitability of the new CBD, Olympic Park and Olympic Village is only part of the reason. The main reason is that the Trafalgar company controlled by George is a major shareholder of Apple and Google, and is also the parent company of emerging technology companies such as Facebook and Twitter!

In other words, even if the future returns of these facilities do not meet expectations, banks do not have to worry that George will not be able to pay back the money - you should know that the total value of the stocks of Google and Facebook in George's hands is already over 10 billion US dollars at this time!

Therefore, if the London Olympic Organizing Committee uses these incomes as collateral to borrow from the bank, then the most likely result of Sebastian Co. is to get a slight loss. Because they don’t have the high-quality assets that George can make the super consortiums behind these banks feel at ease, and the strong economic strength to ensure that these loans will not turn into bad debts!
