Football giants

Chapter 8 You Can Only Like Me
"Mr. Harris, you really know how to hide!" Yang Huan looked at the little fat man from England and laughed.

"Tell me, what's the name of your team?"

"Southampton!" Kesh Harris smiled awkwardly. "Actually, strictly speaking, this team did not officially authorize the transaction, but I understand that the consortium behind him does intend to sell."

After a pause, Kesh Harris stared at Yang Huan and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the consortium behind Southampton also has a great relationship with China." He felt that this rich second generation from China seemed to have a strong sense of superiority in China, so he fell in love with him.

"Oh?" Yang Huan was really interested, "Let's hear it."

Kesh Harris immediately sent a set of words he had prepared.

"The consortium behind Southampton is the Liebherr family from Switzerland. It was this Liebherr family who invested in China back then and jointly established the Haier Group, which is now well-known in China."

Yang Huan smiled after hearing this. This is a corner to gain relations with the Chinese, but it is very good, he likes it like this.

"Last summer, Southampton fell into a financial crisis. With the help of Swiss banker Nicolas Coster, Marcus Liebherr finally spent 300 million pounds to buy Southampton, which was relegated to League One, which is England's third-tier league. However, Southampton was deducted ten league points because of financial problems."

"Without these ten points, Southampton should be ranked in the promotion play-off area now, and there is still hope for promotion to the British Championship."

Yang Huan was noncommittal about this, and thought to himself, if he was deducted ten points, he would not be able to upgrade. Is this a reason?

At the beginning of the season, I told you that ten points will be deducted from you, and you will not be promoted in the end. It can only be said that the team management and coaching staff are incompetent.

Speaking of the League One this season, it is quite lively. Leeds United and Millwall have been upgraded, and Milton, Leyton Orient, Charlton and other teams located around London after madly helping Wimbledon to change their names are still there. Among them, Milton is located in one of the areas with the highest per capita income in the UK.

But compared to these teams, Southampton is a high-quality asset.

If Yang Huan remembers correctly, Chamberlain, Luke Shaw, Chambers, Lallana, Lambert, Schneiderlin and other international stars who will be targeted by the giants in the next few years and spend a lot of money to buy them are all in this team.

And Southampton has an advantage, that is, they are licensed to select young players from Wales, which is why Gareth? Bell will join Southampton.

Kesh Harris saw that Yang Huan was silent, he knew that Yang Huan was seriously thinking about it, so he quickly continued to sell.

"Marcus Liebherr had always suffered from heart disease and died of illness not long ago. His daughter Katharina Liebherr inherited his £30 billion fortune and Southampton, which she had no interest in."

Speaking of this, Kesh Harris changed the subject, "But there have always been rumors that Marcus Liebherr wanted the current chairman of the team, Nicola Coster, to control the team. This is unacceptable to Katharina, so she considers selling the team in exchange for a sum of cash, because she is not interested in investing in football."

Yang Huan listened carefully. He thought it was normal. If he couldn't control it, he might as well sell it.

It seems that this Katharina has a bit of the typical thinking of the rich second generation.

"How much are they asking for?" Yang Huan asked lightly, he didn't want to show the slightest interest.

Even if, he does feel that buying Southampton now is a bargain.

A bargain at a great value.

"It's not clear yet." Kesh Harris shook his head, "However, it shouldn't be less than the purchase price a year ago."

A year ago, Southampton was acquired by the Liebherr family for 300 million pounds. The latter actually picked up a big bargain. If you look at it according to normal circumstances, Southampton's price is more than 2000 million pounds.

Not much else to say, just pointing at the golden sign of the youth training of the century-old saints, it is worth the money!

"Mr. Harris, they were relegated from the English Championship to League One a year ago. Everyone thought they would be able to return to the English Championship a year later, but one year later, they are still in the League One. In terms of investment value, they have depreciated!"

Zhang Ning, who had been silent all this time, spoke again, unceremoniously refuting what Kesh Harris said.

Upgrading is a matter of effort. When you are first relegated, you have the most motivation to upgrade, and you have enough strength and financial resources. But once you sink into the low-level league for a long time, the financial income is getting worse and the player's level is getting worse. In the end, the hope of promotion will become more and more slim.

Just like Charlton, this is also a veteran team in England, and it is now in the League One.

Yang Huan and Zhang Ning had agreed on the plane a long time ago that one would be a bad face and the other would be a bad face. As a result, Zhang Ning naturally wanted to play the role of a bad guy, while Yang Huan always pretended to be a good guy.

For Zhang Ning's unceremonious rebuttal, Kesh Harris could only respond with a wry smile, and he could not refute.

This is a fact.

"Kash, we are friends, but I like to do business clearly." Yang Huan stood up again to ease the atmosphere.

"In this way, I authorize you to negotiate with Katharina Liebherr on my behalf. If you have the ability to get the price below 2000 million pounds, I will give you 100 million pounds as a consultant fee. If you can negotiate 500 million pounds, I will add another 100 million pounds. And I will only authorize you to one company."

Kesh Harris was taken aback. The purchase price of 500 million yuan and the consultant fee of 200 million yuan were too high.

You know, when Abramovich bought Chelsea, he only paid a total of 100 million pounds in consulting fees, but they spent a total of 4000 million pounds on the acquisition of Chelsea.

200 million pounds, this amount of money is a lot of money for Seymour Pierce Investment Bank. After all, they are not a big bank, and now the economic crisis, this amount of money is not bad.

And after acquiring a team, they will always have to sign in and buy and sell players in the future. These are their business scope.

Of course, they are not brokers, but they are only involved in the business of some capital transactions and investment fields.

Kesh Harris was indeed intimidated by Yang Huan's offer, but he was also persuaded.

"Okay, Young Master Yang Huan, I will do my best to facilitate this deal."

"Okay!" Yang Huan was also very satisfied with his attitude. He was not afraid that Harris would be greedy for money. On the contrary, he hoped that Harris would be greedy for money. The more greedy the better.

As long as he is greedy for money, he will do his best to accomplish this.

"However, Kesh, I hope to have an answer before July [-]th, which is three days later."

After seeing off Kesh Harris, Yang Huan asked Zhang Ning and Sun Yue to check the situation in Southampton again, while he slipped back to his room, took a nice shower, and walked out wearing a towel.

When he came out again, he found Zhang Ning sitting on one of the beds in the double room.

I don't know how long I watched, Yang Huan suddenly asked: "Have you ever liked someone?"

"Ah?" Zhang Ning's response was a little at a loss.

"It doesn't matter, whether you have it or not, it doesn't matter!" Yang Huan laughed, "The important thing is that I like you, and from now on, you can only like me."

"Smelly!" Zhang Ning said angrily.

Yang Huan laughed, he liked to bicker with Zhang Ning.

"Is it stinky? Don't you think that you have changed a lot in the past few days?"

Before Zhang Ning could answer, Yang Huan continued on his own, "When I saw you that night, you looked like a frail and frightened bird. You are beautiful, but you are too Lin Daiyu. I don't like you. Relatively speaking, I like you more now, at least you are more confident."

After hearing this, Zhang Ning couldn't help but ask himself, have I really become confident?
If true, where does my confidence come from?
Could it be that it came from him?

"Don't worry, I said before that I'm flirtatious but not nasty. I like you, so I will do everything I can to make you like me too. I don't believe that you can still like others when we are together 24 hours a day, even eating and sleeping together!"

This should be regarded as Young Master Yang Huan's unique skill of picking up girls, the ultimate stalking technique.

Zhang Ning looked helpless, she did not expect that things would develop into what they are now.

She didn't like Yang Huan, but she couldn't hate him, but the more she got in touch with him, the more she felt that Yang Huan was a mystery, a mystery that made people want to dig out the truth.

"Oh, by the way, I want to invest in my own business, and you help me buy as much as possible of a thing called Bitcoin."

"Bitcoin?" Zhang Ning has never heard of this thing, what is it?
"There is already a lot of electronic currency in the United States. You can buy it for me, and you can buy as much as you have, but don't make too much noise."

Zhang Ning is inexplicable, so, electronic currency?Is there such a currency?What is the use of buying this currency?

But just when she was full of doubts, she happened to ask Yang Huan for an answer.

At this moment, she had the urge to pull him up and kick him to death.

But it turns out that no matter what, it is impossible to wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.
