HP's Foreign Land

one,

To be honest, the former head coach of the Ice Ridge Krona team is a serious and responsible coach. He diligently supervises the players, conscientiously plans tactics, and never arrives late or leaves early in the past three years. He can be regarded as a model of Quidditch coaching.It stands to reason that such a coach who is hard to find even with a lantern should be cared for and supported by the upper management of the club. The whole team is full of stars, so why let him go so easily?

There is only one answer. Under his leadership, Ice Ridge Krona has no signs of revival, and its results are shockingly stable—there are occasional fluctuations in the bottom three rankings in Iceland.

With such a result, Ice Ridge Krona is not the worst team in Northern Europe, thanks to the "non-violent non-cooperation" of the Nordic wizards.Among the Nordic countries, Norway’s Quidditch results and public attention are the lowest, followed by Finland, then Sweden, and then Iceland. The attention and average scores are relatively optimistic. The one who can occasionally show up in international competitions is Denmark. Quidditch club.

In view of the fact that the Director of the Wizarding Sports Department of the Finnish Ministry of Magic was specialized in Quidditch before he took office, and he was also a well-known Quidditch idiot, coupled with Finland’s strong enthusiasm for bidding for the European Cup, all signs suggest that the Quidditch movement A rise within Finland is just around the corner.When that day really comes, Iceland's non-violent non-cooperation ranking will probably be second to none.

The local tycoon Kenny is not really only in charge of the local tyrants. Heimdall in the carriage who came here discussed the list of members with New Lun who insisted that he has no interest in Quidditch. Even the well-informed judge Sturluson also I was overwhelmed by Ice Ridge Krona's tall all-foreign aid lineup.The wizards who played Quidditch in Iceland probably all moved to Gobstone. The directors so respect foreign athletes?

The major shareholder struggled to select an Icelandic batsman candidate among twenty or so names. One of the purposes of the major shareholder's visit to the club today is to show his face in front of the big and small shareholders. Another important task is to inspect the team list. In particular, this alternate batsman is the entry point for the major shareholders to Icelandic Quidditch, and it is also the greatest curiosity.

People's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead. I am afraid that is the most appropriate sentence to describe the current situation of Ice Ridge Krona.

The former coach worked hard to bring the team out after he settled in Iceridge Krona three years ago. When he took office, he also shouted the slogan "Go abroad, go out to Europe, go to the world" in front of the directors. Most of the team members are With the efforts of the former coach, the club bought it under the pressure of debt, with the aim of qualifying, but the result was disappointing.

Ice Ridge Krona's best result in the past three years is the fourth place in the national professional competition. Let alone going out of Europe to the world, they have never even been out in Northern Europe.

The players who had a good relationship with the head coach became even more demotivated after the head coach gave up their picks to seek new careers. A few players with close ties even found out that the head coach planned to find another way of life earlier than the board of directors.The board of directors didn't know what the head coach had hinted to the main players before he left. Since the vacancy of the leader, the phenomenon of fluctuating hearts has become more and more obvious. Even the directors who usually don't pay much attention to team training have seen something strange.

After the European media broke the news that the transfer window of the Quidditch club was open a few days ago, the main foreign players whose contracts were about to expire seemed to have been beaten one by one, and the directors were awakened by lightning one after another. The seemingly loyal and honest head coach played Infernal Affairs.The idea is nothing more than one: the main players all responded to the head coach's call, and collectively defected to the new club after the contract expired.

The board of directors beat their chests and feet. They were really dissatisfied with the incompetent former head coach, so the other party resigned and they pushed the boat along the way. Unexpectedly, when the radish was pulled out, the mud was also brought out.

All the shareholders are at a loss for no other reason, they have no money and no achievements, they are neither Icelandic wizards nor ice ridge krona diehard fans, no matter the reason or reason, the board of directors can't find an excuse to put pressure on the team members, they can only watch Watching the main force flying around absent-mindedly on the training ground.

The only thing the shareholders are grateful for is that these foreign aids have a conscience, otherwise the major shareholders will face an empty training ground today.

two,

The major shareholder held a thick long gold powder cigar in his mouth—one of the accessories, but he didn’t light it. He looked up at the old guard training ground calmly, with its rotten outer walls and cracked windows. The glass is full of post-modern artistic atmosphere, and the big and small shareholders who follow are in a panic, for fear that the big shareholders will say amazing words again.

After a short contact, the small shareholders of fans with weak psychological quality have been deeply exhausted.

The training ground of the Guards is not the arena of Ice Ridge Krona. The Krona team has never tasted the taste of fighting in the home arena since its establishment. The reason is naturally that it has no money.The Guards is also the training ground that was eliminated by the Fahsa Banner team, one of the Nordic giants Quidditch teams, and is leased to Ice Ridge Krona for 50 Galleons per year. The rental fee of 50 is an insignificant amount in the field of Quidditch, but it is an astronomical figure for Ice Ridge Krona wandering in the deficit streets.If there is no new capital injection, not only will they lose their head coach and key players next season, but they will also be unable to rent the Guards training ground.

Major shareholders can't help but compare the Guards with the Vulcan's home court, which is simply shabby.

"Why is it so broken?" the big shareholder said bluntly.

The big and small shareholders really don't know what to say other than laughing.

Fortunately, the major shareholder didn't care about it anymore, and walked in. All the shareholders were relieved, and at the same time, an unspeakable disappointment rose in their hearts: Why didn't Mao mention "not bad money" right now?

The facilities in the training ground are outdated, and the management is not in place. A group of people walked in mightily, without even a gatekeeper or guide, let alone protection spells and the like. Ice Ridge Krona's locker room.Oh, there are still living things. Major shareholders saw their brooms and rags moving around. These should be the house elves of the club, so the training ground is dilapidated, and the interior is generally in good order.The giant Fakhsa doesn't care about an extra or a small sum of 50 in income every year, but the maintenance of the training ground is relatively strict-even if it is a training ground that is eliminated, the club spends all the money for security guards at the beginning of the lease to introduce small players. On the elf.

Nylon, the goblin advisor, raised his eyebrows critically, but remained silent.

Shareholders big and small are restless.

The major shareholder didn't ask how to get there, just glanced at the fork in the road and determined the direction to the training ground. Shareholders are vigilant. It is impossible for a wizard who entered the Quidditch training ground for the first time to be so sure about the direction...

The second shareholder hadn't finished thinking about it when he saw the major shareholder coming back, yelling impatiently, "Where's the bathroom? This damn place is like a maze!"

The ups and downs of the small theater in the mind of the second shareholder closed instantly.

three,

The team members of Ice Ridge Krona all know the second shareholder. This is the deputy of the former chairman during his tenure. The communication between the board of directors and the team is basically completed by the second shareholder.All members of the Ice Ridge Krona team are relatively unfamiliar with the former chairman who only knows how to make money, so they don't feel much about the former chairman's departure.

The arrival of the second shareholder caught the team members by surprise, especially after they were asked to suspend all training and stand in a row, this serious welcome posture made the team members even more confused.

"What are you doing so grandly?" Even so, the big shareholder didn't stop, and came to the team members with a little joy.

The members of Ice Ridge Krona stared dumbfoundedly at the sudden human-shaped jewelry stand, and failed to complete the instructions given by the two shareholders to greet each other with smiling faces.

The major shareholder took down the cigar from his mouth, "You can call me Kenny, I took over the mess left by the previous chairman, and I am the largest shareholder of Ice Ridge Krona from today on."

Shareholders big and small were embarrassed by the outspokenness of the big shareholder.

The members of Ice Ridge Krona looked at each other in blank dismay, more disapproving in their hearts, most of the team members had already decided where to go, and reached a verbal agreement with the next family in private, and they didn't care who the major shareholder of Ice Ridge Krona was, even if it was the camera Ghosts have nothing to do with them either.

Before the shareholders came back to their senses and the team members lost their energy, the major shareholder said "Mr. Consultant".

Newlon unhurriedly took out a roll of parchment and spread it out, and read aloud, "Mark Alexander, Seeker."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Who's Mark Alexander?" said the major shareholder casually.

The blond young man in the lead raised his hand, "I'm Mark Alexander."

The major shareholder looked at Nulun, "The main Seeker?"

Newlon nodded.

The major shareholder then turned to the blond young man, "Go or stay?"

The main Seeker was a little at a loss.

"I won't do anything to you, I never advocate the use of violence, of course there are exceptions as a last resort..."

The main Seeker panicked even more.

"Young man, be decisive, go or stay?" The major shareholder bared his big white teeth. "I can assure you that I will never interfere with your decision, because I don't intend to leave half-hearted players to cause trouble for myself."

The main Seekers feel embarrassed under the watchful eyes of the public. Once the window paper is pierced through the well-known things, it will always change the self-righteous calm.

"Go..." The main seeker spat out the answer with difficulty.

"Okay, write it down." The major shareholder nodded to New Lun, and then said: "I wish you a prosperous future and a bright future after you settle in the new owner."

The main Seeker felt that the words of blessing were inlaid with a core of ridicule - he thought too much, but the major shareholder didn't care.

"next."

Newlon held up the parchment again.

Most of the team members suffocated at the same time.The large and small shareholders who were onlookers eased their anxiety and became a little more happy.Only the second shareholder remained calm and did not show the joy of enjoying the pleasure after revenge.

"Claude Athelborn, Seeker."

The substitute Seeker in the team smiled wryly...

In this way, twenty or so names were read out. Among the 22-member team, only the substitute batsman of Icelandic nationality chose to stay and continue to play for Iceridge Krona. The caliber is the same: after the contract expires, find another way out, and the shareholders turn from chilling and disappointed to numb and desperate.

After leaving the training ground, the big and small shareholders waved their fists in outrage, clamoring to sell these ungrateful wolf cubs while the transfer window is still open—thank God the World Cup year window is still within the contract period, lest After the contract expires, Ice Ridge Krona will not be able to get a Nat.

"Don't obstruct it deliberately. If any team members want to leave early, talk about it, but before the contract expires, none of you can make transactions without my consent." The major shareholder waved his magic wand, and the noisy conference room suddenly There was no sound.

When some shareholders were moved by the nobility of the major shareholder, the major shareholder grinned with a cigar in his mouth, "Don't be caught by me, everyone should be polite and get along with each other." He paused appetizingly, "I don't pay much attention to this money~~"

The last sentence is the finishing touch.

The most annoying of local tyrants!

In the end, the major shareholder was successfully elected as the latest chairman of the board of directors of Ice Ridge Krona with the support of the majority votes of the emotionally unstable shareholders, and became a veritable big boss.The second shareholder's fluke procrastination policy is still in its infancy, and even the idea is still in its infancy. The second shareholder's eyes full of fear and suspicion continue to scan the new chairman. The local tyrant model is carried out to the end.

When leaving the Ice Ridge Krona Club, the major shareholder "met unexpectedly" with the Icelandic batsman backup.

The big boss, smoking a cigar, looked at him for a moment through the sunglasses, and then said: "Your personal information says that you were born and raised in the Netherlands, why did you choose to return to Iceland to develop? There are many strong Quidditch teams in the Netherlands. "

The alternate batsman didn't expect the big boss to pay so much attention to him, so he responded cautiously: "The Quidditch industry in the Netherlands is indeed thriving, and there are many strong players, but it is relatively difficult to stand out in the fierce competition."

"Do you think there are more opportunities in Iceland? Because there are not many Quidditch geniuses here, maybe you will be the next Uranus superstar?"

The alternate batsman blushed, "I'm not..."

"Don't rush to refute. I don't think your idea is wrong. There is nothing shameful in wanting to get ahead."

The batsman shut his mouth in surprise.

"Do you have any suggestions?" the big boss said suddenly.

The alternate batsman was at a loss.

"I mean the roster, what type of Quidditch player do you think we should envision before the transfer window closes in the first half of the year?"

The alternate batter faltered.

The big boss waved his hand, "If you have an idea, make a list when you get back, and then hand it over to Newlon Consultant."

Nulun immediately handed over a well-crafted business card.

The batsman took over, flattered.

"Do well, Ice Ridge Krona's prosperity will benefit you and me." The big boss patted the batter candidate on the shoulder encouragingly.

The alternate batsman was both moved and somewhat baffled, and watched the big boss go away in a daze.

Mr. Candidate never dreamed that on a certain day in a certain year and a certain month, he met the big boss by accident on a carriage bound for the old house in Sturluson. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to meet again after that. .

Bassman's full name is: Barn van der Fel Sturluson.

(PS: I won’t specifically describe which chapter this guy played in. I believe that most readers have no impression of him at all. If you don’t remember, it shouldn’t affect your understanding. I said that it’s my job to set up difficult problems for readers. One of my hobbies~~~~)

four,

When the major shareholders left, they finally figured out that they were too hotheaded to "give" Bingji Krona to the new chairman.

The chairman made no secrets, "There will be a friendly match this afternoon to celebrate the upcoming opening of the Quidditch World Cup."

As soon as the big and small shareholders inquired, the Bulgarian national team played against the Cyprus national team.

The Chairman has true love for Victor Klum Cliff.

Shareholders are in the truth.

Heimdall and Nülen parted ways at the carriage stop, and after weighing the most precise possible landing point for the Apparition, Heimdall chose to take the cheap carriage.After waiting for about half an hour, a passing bus to the Czech Republic finally arrived. The wizards who were waiting for the bus complained that the bus was delayed by an entire hour.Heimdall, who took off his disguise for the time being, wandered wildly in the rickety inferior carriage, and he will be a person of status in the future—after all, he is the chairman of a professional Quidditch club, should he follow the example of those superior people and raise Pegasus? Self-driving?

He quickly dismissed the idea and bought a modified car. The initial investment was higher than expected, the horse-drawn carriage was much more laborious and expensive than the car, and the later maintenance was a bottomless pit...

The carriage landed in the wild imagination of the rich chairman.

The Sudeten Arena was full of seats. Today's match was a star-studded match. Both teams sent out the strongest lineups. Victor Krum, who people talk about, changed his usual silence and was listed as the starter.In fact, the head coach of the Bulgarian national team wanted to carry on playing pigs and eating tigers to the end, but the media did not cooperate. Under the premise of the transfer turmoil and twists and turns, he was extremely unwilling to send out the JOKER in his hand. "Caring"; the second is that the head coach has had enough of the endless greetings from the head coaches of major clubs.

Everyone wanted to see the standard king of Quidditch transfers this summer so far on the field. The head coach didn't want to fight against the whole world, so he had to compromise.

After re-arming himself in the arena bathroom, local tycoon Kenny, holding a nearly-bitten gold powder cigar in his mouth, avoided the "far infrared" scanning of one security guard after another, and successfully sneaked into the arena where tourists stopped.

At that time, the game had just come to an end, and Bulgaria won the victory. Victor Krum, who caught the Golden Snitch one step ahead of his opponent, became the focus of cheers from the audience.The fans proudly declared that whenever Krum played, the game would be almost without suspense, unless the overall strength of the team was too bad to slow down the Seeker.

At this moment, facing the disparity in the score, no one dared to jump out to spread hatred.

Victor, who was repeatedly extended by enthusiastic fans, finally stopped his broomstick, returned to the side of the field, and walked quickly to the dressing room of the Bulgarian national team.

The local tyrant Kenny makes his debut.

Chairman Kenny knew how much this shiny outfit violated Master Krum's aesthetic sentiments, and the master's rebellious psychology must have been aroused quite vigorously, provided he was not recognized.

"Mr. Victor Krum?" Kenny held out his right hand covered with big gold rings.

Victor didn't take a second look, and shook it expressionlessly. The time was very short, and he let go after a little touch.

Kenny resisted the urge to laugh.

"you are?"

"On behalf of the Ice Ridge Crown Club, I extend a sincere invitation to you."

Victor didn't even move his eyelids, "Please contact my agent."

"The transfer fee is not a problem. Even if there is liquidated damages, the club is willing to bear it. We only need you to join." Chairman Kenny's unmodest tone carried a strong sense of supremacy.

"Please contact my agent."

Although the tone of Victor's sentence seems to be the same as the previous sentence, Heimdall, who is the person next to the pillow, still sensed the impatience and rising disgust concealed by the master, and did not just throw up his sleeves and leave. It's self-cultivation, Chairman Kenny twisted his body in his heart: so cool~~~~~

"So do you agree to our invitation?" Chairman Kenny chased after him.

The Bulgarian Quidditch superstar left quickly after leaving the stereotypical "Please contact my agent".

Chairman Kenny looked around and found a sneaky figure buried nearby. A thought flashed in his mind, and he shouted at the back of the quickly walking away, "Ice Ridge Krona is willing to pay 2000 million or more. When you transfer, please Be sure to consider Ice Ridge Krona first——Ice Ridge Krona, the Nordic Quidditch giants—it’s right to choose us—don’t miss it when you pass by—”

Heimdall saw from a distance that the master's steady footsteps seemed to have slipped a little, and before the tabloid reporters rushed forward, Heimdall nimbly flashed into the nearby bathroom.

Fives,

[This is different from what we agreed! 】Bastetto's hostess over the fireplace is aggressive. 【Bastetto is flustered by the ups and downs. In order to cooperate with your request, I had to leave my hometown and hide my name. As a result, you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge? ! ] "Who firmly believed that this was a brilliant idea? The bad things about the International Quidditch League have caused everyone in the Quidditch clubs around the world to avoid it. Is it my idea that you run away? No You make up your own mind?" Victor pointed out bluntly. "You didn't think of notifying me until after you left. I'm just following my plan."

[I didn't let you transfer! 】

"It's just an offer in the normal process. Besides, you released the rumor. I think I cooperated very well. I can't control what other club owners think."

【...You won't leave, will you? 】

"You want to drive me away?"

[2000 million Galleons, are you really not interested? 】

"You are too well informed."

[No matter how ill-informed people run away, I will still be kept in the dark. 】

"You can rest assured that the idea of ​​retiring in the Vulcan team has not yet shown a trend of change."

【Really saying 'I won't leave' will make you bite your tongue? 】 "There is no absolute in the world."

【You are such a boring man. 】

"It doesn't matter."

The female boss hated him the most for his appearance as an old monk who had settled down and was sure of winning. He took the light wine handed over by the handsome assistant, and said through gritted teeth: [I can't understand why Li Ge fell in love with a boring man like you! ] Victor's smile became a little more wanton.

This is - those who cannot get are always in turmoil, and those who are favored have nothing to fear.

"You reminded me, I haven't shared this little secret with Rieger, and I'll tell him tonight."

The female boss withdrew from the fireplace angrily, she didn't want to see him show affection!

After dinner that evening, Heimdall, who had returned to being a dick, didn't say a word after hearing what the master said.

"I'm sorry dear, I'm afraid telling you will affect your review." Victor hugged Heimdall apologetically.

"The exam starts tomorrow, so if you tell me today, you won't be afraid of affecting me?"

"Anyway, it won't help if you review it again..." Heimdall gave him a glare and didn't continue.

Heimdall thought for a while and said, "You mean everything stems from the alliance's internal struggle?"

"It is impossible for any organization to be peaceful forever, not to mention the rumors that Chairman Mustafa is about to retire." Victor continued, "Henry Derry's succession calls have been getting louder and louder in recent days. .”

"Henry Derry?" Heimdall frowned.

Victor smiled playfully.

"Did you contribute to the flames inside?" Heimdall guessed.

"No one in the high-level referee council has absolutely clean hands and feet. I'm going to take a gamble." Victor narrowed his eyes.

handsome...

Stulu Song's room chief nympho ING

Victor suddenly thought of something, and said with a hint of pride: "Today someone offered 2000 million galleons in front of me, asking me to join his Quidditch team."

"What team?" Heimdall pretended to be surprised.

"I don't remember the name."

There was a trace of unnaturalness in the expression of a certain local tyrant.

"Will you agree?" Heimdall adjusted his mood.

"You don't know me yet?"

Heimdall nodded, the master would definitely not leave Basteto on his own initiative.In this way, the local tyrant gold plan he originally formulated to cheer up the master lost the prerequisites for its realization, but Heimdall's loss was only momentary, because he found a new goal of struggle.

The determination of the new goal was based on the fact that Chairman Kenny was flatly rejected by 2000 million seekers. The rebellion and disdain concealed by the cold face of the 2000 million seekers aroused Chairman Kenny's fighting spirit.The thought of competing with the Quidditch superstar Basteto for the title of the strongest horse really made him a little excited, no, he was so excited!

Didn't it mean that long-term healthy competition can effectively extend the vitality of athletes? He will help the master become an evergreen tree in the Quidditch world.

Maybe Chairman Kenny originally had a playful mentality, but after getting in touch with the Quidditch team, he gradually started to think about managing it well, not to mention that there are also members of the team who are working tirelessly to become famous. Unable to help the club strive for the top, at least do what it can.

Heimdall looked at the master with a smile, greeted the kiss meekly, and slowly deepened it, but this time the master failed to understand the deep meaning behind his partner's smile like before.

Well, Heimdall tycoon Kenny Strulusson admits he's jittery.
