Hello 1983

It's just that the current Prince William is still a kid of seven or eight years old.

The current chairman of the Football Association, Earl Martin, also greeted Liu Qingshan and his party with a smile.

The old earl was nearly sixty years old, and his hair was still combed meticulously. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a snow-white inner lining, showing a bit of extravagance.

He behaved elegantly and looked amiable: "Oh, Mr. Mountain, welcome to your wonderful young man!"

Liu Qingshan was wearing a neat Chinese stand-up collar, and he was full of vigor, especially the confident smile on his handsome face, which was not inferior to the veteran nobles in front of him.

"Count Martin, I'm very glad to meet you. How can I let you greet me in person, I'm ashamed." Liu Qingshan also bowed to return the salute.

The old earl let out a hearty laugh: "Mr. Mountain, I think those ladies in the hall are very happy to see you."

Such a ball, of course, cannot do without those famous ladies.

Especially a young man like Liu Qingshan, who is young, rich and talented, is simply a killer for those ladies and noble ladies.

The upper class society in England has always been very chaotic. It is very normal for noble ladies to have a lover or something, and it often even becomes a good talk after dinner.

For example, the famous Princess Diana, on the one hand, donated her assets many times to help the poor, so she is deeply loved by the lower class.

On the other hand, after the feud with Charles, there were several rumored lovers.

It's a pity that Diana's fate was ill-fated, and most of her trusts were not human.

Just like one of her lovers, the equestrian coach James, has a very low character. For money, he brazenly betrayed Diana.

Just for the high publishing fee, he published the book "The Concubine in Love", and shamelessly clamored: Give me [-] pounds, and I will tell you everything that happened.

Such a guy can no longer be described as hateful.

Liu Qingshan was not interested in appearing in tabloids with those famous ladies or noble ladies, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Earl, I am more interested in football."

Earl Martin raised his eyebrows: "I also like football."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Liu Qingshan introduced Gao Lingfeng, Lao Cui, Jiaju, Huanzi, Amao and others who came together, and then walked into the hall.

Although Liu Qingshan doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, it is still necessary for the singers under his banner to show their faces more.

In the hall, the crystal chandelier is brightly lit, and the melodious music echoes. The men and women are either strolling on the dance floor, or sitting on the sofa and whispering, which outlines a high-society party scene.

Liu Qingshan wrinkled his nose, he seemed to smell a sense of extravagance unique to this level.

Earl Martin still attaches great importance to Liu Qingshan, he clapped his hands lightly: "Gentlemen and ladies, please allow me to solemnly introduce, this is Mr. Mountain from China!"

Polite and reserved applause rang out, I don't know if it was for the Earl's face, or for Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan also bowed slightly: "I'm very glad to meet you all. You can call me by my Chinese name Liu Qingshan."

Afterwards, everyone returned to their original state and enjoyed themselves.

It is still very difficult for a stranger, and a bumpkin from a backward place like China, to mix into the noble circle.

Of course, Liu Qingshan is not interested in this either.

There were also a few people who came up to say hello to Liu Qingshan. Among them was a middle-aged man in his 50s who caught Liu Qingshan's attention: Isn't this the famous Sir Alex Ferguson?

This former player, who later coached Manchester United, had a brilliant record and was awarded a lower-level knighthood by the royal family.

He is unique among the ranks of the nobles because of football.

Liu Qingshan asked Gao Lingfeng and Lao Cui to take care of themselves, and then he, accompanied by Earl Martin and Sir Ferguson, sat on the sofa together and started chatting.

The topic of the three of them naturally revolved around football, so they had a very pleasant chat.

After the heat was over, Martin finally introduced the topic: "Liu, I heard that you are very interested in football and want to acquire a team. Are you interested in developing with us?"

Liu Qingshan smiled: "If you can invite Sir Alex Ferguson as a coach, then it will be absolutely fine."

The three laughed together. Everyone knew that it was impossible for Ferguson to leave Manchester United, so this was just Liu Qingshan's joke.

However, it can still be revealed that he is obviously interested.

Martin was determined: "Liu, do you need me to recommend it? I am very familiar with all levels of league teams."

In England now, football clubs are divided into A, B, C, D, and the later Premier League has not yet been born.

"I would like to hear more about it." Liu Qingshan is also more interested in buying an English team, after all, the football market here is relatively hot.

Not only has a long history of inheritance, but also can radiate brand-new vitality. Even if you buy a team and put it away for a few years, when those local tyrants wave their money and start buying the team, they can make a lot of money by changing hands.

Martin was also clearly prepared. He introduced several teams with a long history, and then changed the topic: "If you want to say that our team with the longest history in Great Britain, it must be the Notts County Club."

This is true, the Notts County Club, established in 1862, is the earliest existing club, not one of them.

It has a history of more than 100 years and is the oldest club in the world.

It's just this name, most fans may not have heard of it, because this team basically wandered around in the second and third divisions, and has long since withdrawn from the ranks of strong teams.

However, Liu Qingshan has studied the team after preparing to acquire the team, so it is still very clear.

So knowingly asked about the current situation of the Notts County club, and of course Martin said it nicely.

He was entrusted by this club to be a lobbyist, and of course he wanted to speak well.

Liu Qingshan smiled without saying a word, just listened quietly.

After Martin finally couldn't boast anymore, Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "I just heard a joke two days ago."

"It is said that Notts County Club played the FA Cup with Manchester United. The head coach told the players of Notts County Club not to exchange jerseys with Manchester United stars. Otherwise, the club has no money to buy them new jerseys."

After finishing speaking, Liu Qingshan turned to Ferguson: "Sir, I wonder if this rumor is true?"

Ferguson could only laugh a few times, and then gestured to Martin with his eyes: old guy, don't fool young people, they are clean.

Martin's face is neither red nor white. If he is not thick-skinned, he will not be able to become a qualified nobleman, so he continued:

"Although the team has temporarily encountered some financial difficulties due to operational problems, for Mr. Liu, is the problem that can be solved with money still a problem?"

These words are comfortable to hear, and it is estimated that ordinary young people will be overwhelmed immediately.

Liu Qingshan knew it well, of course he knew the current situation of Notts County Club:

The club is not doing well and is currently heavily in debt, owed more than 200 million pounds.

If it weren't for the donations from Nottingham's diehard fans, the club probably wouldn't be able to survive.

But as Martin said, Liu Qingshan really doesn't care, what he fancy is the team's signature.

As for strength, it can be quickly improved by recharging.

Liu Qingshan is quite satisfied with it, but he will not express his opinion so quickly.

Although he couldn't bargain like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, Liu Qingshan didn't want to waste his money, and his money didn't come from the wind.

But the two old foxes on the opposite side obviously guessed what Liu Qingshan was thinking. Ferguson said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, Nottingham needs a savior like you right now."

Liu Qingshan finally understood: the two of them probably connected in series long ago, just waiting for him to play.

But this kind of thing, Liu Qingshan is also voluntary, don't look at the team's current cabbage price, but it will soon usher in a huge room for appreciation.

The most important thing is that Liu Qingshan can use his detached vision and abundant financial resources to select players with potential. By then, the Notts County team will definitely be able to become a top giant.

By that time, the starting price of the team will be above one billion.

He was also curious, wondering how much a team is worth now, so he smiled and said, "Earl Martin, if I join the Notts County Club, what conditions do I need?"

Martin was overjoyed: "100 million pounds, for Mr. Mountain, this is not a problem at all."

Is it that cheap?

Liu Qingshan couldn't believe it. Thinking about future generations, the purchase price of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars is so cheap that it is as cheap as grandma's house.

Do you want to buy more?

But he was not impulsive: "How to deal with the team's foreign debt?"

"Well, of course, the successor of the club needs to bear the burden." Martin's smile was a little bit awkward, after all, it has exceeded 300 million pounds.

Even those mid-range teams in the current League One are not worth the price, let alone a League Two team like Notts County?

Sure enough, Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "Count, I need time to think about it."

Dealing with these nobles is troublesome, and you can't bargain with real swords and guns.

Martin was entrusted by others. In fact, his bottom line is: as long as he finds someone who is willing to take over the club's debts, thank God.

So he quickly said: "Of course, the funds for the acquisition of the club are mainly given to the local government for urban construction."

"At that time, I will negotiate with them to see if I can collect some symbolically, but the team's debt cannot be erased anyway."

When Liu Qingshan heard it, he basically knew it: It seems that 200 million pounds can basically be won.

That's a lot of money at the moment.

But 200 million pounds, to be able to buy the oldest football club in the world, no matter what.

The two parties had initially reached an oral agreement, so they were in a good mood. A waiter came over and poured red wine for the three of them, and the three were lightly touched together.

So far, Liu Qingshan has obtained the ticket to enter England football.

I don't know how big a storm he will cause in football?

At this time, a waiter walked up to Earl Martin and whispered a few words, the earl signaled to Liu Qingshan, and then went out to greet him.

It is certainly not ordinary people who can ask the earl to greet him in person.

When the earl walked into the hall with a lady in an evening gown, everyone's eyes were involuntarily drawn to him, and then warm applause followed.

Liu Qingshan thought of Concubine Dai just now, unexpectedly, she appeared in front of her eyes so soon.

It has to be said that Concubine Diana has a very unique temperament, with a bit of innocence in her elegance. She is under 30 years old, which is the most mature season for women.

With a charming smile on her face, she nodded slightly. At this moment, the other women in the hall were all overshadowed.

The concubine of the British Empire gave birth to two sons for Charles, was merciful, and often did charity activities, so she had a very high reputation among the people.

It's a pity that once Hou Men entered the deep sea, his prominent status was mistaken for life. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't actually love his wife. It was just because the empire needed a princess, so he chose Diana.

The two people's marriage was not happy. After a few years of marriage, they were already inseparable. They officially separated in [-] and divorced in [-]. In [-], Diana died in a car accident.

The song "Candle in the Wind" made people who love Concubine Dai all over the world shed tears.

And that His Royal Highness the crown prince may also be cursed, whether he can inherit the throne in his lifetime is still a matter of debate.

Because his mother, the old European grandmother, was so alive that the crown prince's hair turned gray, but it is still unknown whether he can survive his mother in the end.

Perhaps the final successor to the throne is Princess Diana's son, Prince William, right?

Concubine Dai came to Liu Qingshan's side under the guidance of Earl Martin after socializing.

Liu Qingshan also smiled and bowed, while Earl Martin introduced: "This is Mr. Mountain from China."

Concubine Diana's eyes instantly resembled the stars in the night sky: "Hello, Mr. Mountain, I heard MJ mention you, saying that you are a talented musician."

Concubine Diana has an almost obsessive love for music, and has a very good relationship with Michael Jackson, and has also attended MJ's concert.

On the day Princess Diana died, MJ also canceled his concert.

"You're too much." Liu Qingshan said politely with a smile, his heart was also full of pity and sigh for the princess in front of him.

"Mr. Mountain, I really like listening to the last Mohican you played." Concubine Diana sat down on the opposite sofa and chatted about the music:

"My charitable foundation also conducted fundraising activities specifically for this purpose to help the aborigines improve their lives."

"Thank you, it's my honor." This was a bit beyond Liu Qingshan's expectation.

From Concubine Dai's eyes, Liu Qingshan really felt the light of kindness and benevolence.

"Mr. Mountain, I don't know if I'm lucky, can you please compose a song for me?" Concubine Dai at this moment is a bit like a little fan meeting an idol.

Liu Qingshan blinked: What are you singing, singing Candle in the Wind?

Chapter 862 Don't Play Cards According to the Routine

Candle in the Wind was first written for the famous movie star Marilyn Monroe. After the death of Concubine Diana, the creator sang the adapted "Candle in the Wind" at the funeral and it has been sung for a long time.

Of course Liu Qingshan can't sing this song now, and he even hopes that no one will ever sing this song for Concubine Dai.

This is actually a poor woman.

But since Concubine Dai made the request, Liu Qingshan thought about it and hummed the classic "Yesterday Again".

This song was created in the 70s and has been handed down to this day. It is a classic among classics. Naturally, Concubine Diana is familiar with it and also hums along with it.

But after she finished singing, she still couldn't get enough of it: "It's a pity that this song wasn't written for me, Mr. Mountain, I'm looking forward to your talent."
