Chapter 5 Capital Injection Rejected
"Philip, if I want to inject money into the club in the summer, will those bastards agree?"

Hearing his question, the old butler was very surprised.Edward was not interested in football at all before, and the old Hoffman forced him to take the test for the coaching license. Obviously he wanted to inject capital into the club. Was this a plan to get that huge inheritance?

Could it be because the breakup changed this young master who was devoted to being an artist?
Even though the old Hoffman passed away, Philip Jennings was also paying attention to Edward's movements, so he naturally knew that Edward was cheated or even injured.

The old butler was delighted with Edward's transformation, thinking that indeed feelings can make a man mature.

However, he is not very clear about the situation of the club. In the later stage, the old Hoffman has not cared much about the team's affairs. He only hopes that Edward can change his mind. Edward, and as a housekeeper, Philip Jennings, although he likes football, is a supporter of West Ham United. If it weren't for his employer, he would never pay attention to German football.

Seeing Edward's expression now, he felt that he had to give the young master some support, or the artist might be unhappy and run away from home one day. As a housekeeper, he felt uncomfortable without a master at home.

"I don't know too well, but I think you can try."

Not getting any useful advice, Edward fell into deep thought. It seems that the only way to make the next move is to contact the club's management first.

"Help me prepare a suit of clothes, I want to meet them."

Thinking of this, Edward confessed that in just a few days, he was completely used to being served by others.

After a while, the old housekeeper handed a suit of high-end fabrics to Edward.

The self in the mirror is slender, with exquisite facial features, high nose bridge, sharp edges and corners on his face, and neat brown hair. He is a standard handsome guy. The only thing that makes Edward dissatisfied is that his body is too thin. Appears a little big on the body.

The old butler looked at Edward in formal attire with a kind face and fell into deep memories. When he first came to Hoffman's house, old Hoffman was not much older than Edward. The grandfather and grandson were carved out of the same mold. At that time, the old Hoffman, who was not yet 30 years old, had worked hard to earn a lot of money, but he didn't dare to make it public. The family lived with a housekeeper and a nanny, which was no different from an ordinary East German family.

Philip is younger than the old Hoffman, and he followed the old Hoffman to watch Hoffman build up a huge resource empire step by step, and Philip became the logistics director of the old Hoffman, and everything at home was taken care of They are well organized, and the two are said to be masters and servants, and their relationship is similar to that of brothers.

It is a pity that the three children of the old Hoffman are not very up-to-date.

The eldest and the second are standard sons, and the third is Edward’s father, who dreamed of traveling to space after watching an episode of a science program. The third wants to fight for property inheritance for the sake of “travel expenses”, which is fundamentally different from the two brothers. But the three children are not very normal.

The three big ones were useless, especially the third one had a car accident, which made old Hoffman feel disheartened. Fortunately, the third one kept Edward.

The master and the servant poured all their efforts into Edward. His tutors were all well-known contemporary artists. Edward didn't know about them. In the end, he fell out with the old Hoffman and didn't even see him for the last time. Now that there is a change in Edward, as a steward, he must let Edward move forward on the path that the old Hoffman hoped.

"By the way, throw all the paintings in my bedroom into the warehouse and replace them with Blaney's photos for me."

Hearing Edward's explanation before he left, Philip opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say. Is Edward's change too great?
Chasing stars is what a child of this age should do, at least it's better than shutting himself in the studio all day, Philip shook his head and walked towards the master bedroom.

----

As the owner of the club, Edward easily met the senior management of Union Berlin.

The incumbent of Union Berlin, Karl Müller, has a typical German appearance, with rather rough facial features. The glasses on the bridge of his nose add a little academic atmosphere to him, and the eyes under the lenses are full of light. He is not an easy character to deal with at first glance.

When Edward was looking at each other, Karl Müller was also observing him. He had seen Edward when he was a child, and later he also heard that Edward and the old Hoffmann had a falling out. What he did not expect was the last rebellion The kid turned out to be the sole heir of that huge inheritance, and people couldn't help but envy Edward for his good birth.

As for Edward's reason for coming, he had guessed a lot. This kid is not interested in football. He probably saw some artwork and had no money, so he wanted to sell the club.

It is hard to find investors as stupid as old Hoffman these days. It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to get investment from Edward, Karl Muller lamented in his heart.

"I want to inject money into the club in the summer, what do you think about that?"

Edward startled Karl Müller as soon as he spoke, but he was an old fritter after all, so he quickly covered it up with a cough.

"Edward, aren't you not interested in football?"

Karl Muller asked suspiciously, capital injection is not necessarily a good thing, and he was full of vigilance against Edward's abnormal expression.

"I just want to fulfill my grandfather's last wish and make the club a big German team."

Hehe, I don't want that inheritance yet.

Everyone in Berlin knew about the old Hoffman’s legacy, and the only explanation Carl Muller could think of for Edward’s move was that the kid had figured it out and planned to jointly inherit Thomas Hoffmann’s legacy through Berlin.

He wanted to inject capital, but he didn't want Edward to join the club. When his grandfather was in charge of the club, his two uncles almost played Union Berlin in the amateur league. This season, the team finally had a chance to enter the second division. , he didn't want to find himself an overlord.

Karl Muller did not directly refuse, and the smile on his face was even thicker: "This is a big matter, I can't decide by myself, I will discuss it with other people in the management and give you an answer."

Hearing this, Edward knew in his heart that there would be no results today, so he sat in the lounge and waited.

Sure enough, after more than an hour, Karl Muller appeared again: "Unfortunately Edward, the club is developing very well now and does not need investment."

Hopes were completely shattered, Edward didn't say anything, shook hands with Karl Muller politely, turned and left, and cursed as soon as he stepped out of the club's gate: "These damn bastards!"
