The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 185 Sugar Daddy

It was once said that in the world we live in, money cannot beat the rules.

But Ye Qiu thinks it depends on the situation.

And when Ye Qiu saw this young Russian rich man in front of him, his first impression was that the reason why money can't beat the rules is mainly because you don't have enough money.

If you can have endless money like Abramovich, then you can also be like him, accompanied by the most powerful super human trafficker in the Premier League on the left, and the well-known Premier League coach on the right as a follower. Two top Premier League superstars are leading the way, and the scenery will definitely make you unforgettable.

Among other things, Roland was dumbfounded, wondering in his heart, and called softly, "Hey, what's the origin of this guy?" It seemed that he must have been frightened.

Ye Qiu kept a calm face from the beginning to the end. He had already passed the age and experience that his legs would become weak when he saw celebrities. When he was sitting in the coffee shop of the top Edward VII Hotel in Manchester, looking at Abu Ramović and his four friends, or more suitable followers, walked over slowly, and he was looking at these four people.

The super human trafficker is Pini Zahavi, the most powerful football agent in the Premier League.

Many people may not know this Israeli. He is not just an agent. His players include not only some Eastern European and Russian players, but also top superstars like Ferdinand. He is Manchester United’s biggest partner and Ferguson A good friend, Ferdinand's move to Manchester United was finalized by him.

In addition to player transfers, he was also involved in club transactions. For example, Arkadi Gedmark's acquisition of Israel's Jerusalem Beta Club was done by him, and the acquisition of Portsmouth by Jr. Gedmark was also his handwriting. If Ye Qiu remembers correctly, Abramovich bought Chelsea and the MSI consortium bought West Ham United, all of which were done by him.

To say that this guy has all-hands in the Premier League would be an underestimation of him. Strictly speaking, he is the little Moggi of the Premier League.

As for the follower on the other side of Abramovich is the Premier League coach, Blackburn's current head coach Souness.

Blackburn is not far from Manchester, but it can make Souness put aside his team's FA Cup and league games and come to Manchester, which shows that he attaches great importance to Abramovich and Zahavi's trip, and When he saw Ye Qiu, his eyes were even more guarded, even hostile.

This made Ye Qiu feel puzzled. Damn it, how could I offend you? As for killing me with that look of wanting to cut me into pieces?Where am I sorry for you?UEFA Cup or Champions League?Oh, your Black Instinct will be there!

But soon, Ye Qiu understood that the main reason Souness was so courteous was that Abramovich had a crush on Manchester United.

Just imagine, if Abramovich can be dealt with and take over Manchester United, even if Souness is a direct descendant of Manchester United's rival Liverpool, this will also make this head coach who is still hated by Liverpool fans immediately famous. Even if it doesn't work, it's good to have a good personal relationship, so as to leave a way out for yourself in the future.

As for the two leading superstars, one is the Manchester United midfielder Juan Veron that Ye Qiu was talking about before, and the other is Rio Ferdinand. Both of them are considered hosts and are responsible for leading the way.

This set of battles was put on, let alone Roland, Ye Qiu was a little bit stunned.

So, if you have money, you can make ghosts work. You can’t let ghosts work. It proves that you don’t have enough money. Look at Abramovich, look at someone who just came to Manchester to watch a game, and he can make money. So many people are driven by him, you can see.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Qiu!" Abramovich was not as overbearing as he imagined.

In the end, he was an oligarch and rich man who was able to get ahead in the complicated former Soviet Union and Russia. If Abramovich was not smooth, he would have been cleaned up long ago.

"Hello!" Ye Qiu naturally pretended not to know him, but politely stretched out his hand to hold him together.

From a simple handshake, Ye Qiu could tell that Abramovich's strength was neither light nor heavy, which made people feel comfortable.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, this is Roman Abramovich from Russia. He is very interested in football. He even went to South Korea and Japan last year to watch a lot of World Cup matches. Today he is at Old Trafford Watching the Premier League FA Cup at the stadium, I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet Mr. Ye Qiu."

"Mr. Ye Qiu's Ajax has been the most popular team in European football in the past two years. They play offensive football, not to mention playing very pleasing to the eye, and the results are also very satisfactory, especially Mr. Ye Qiu. The strength of building a top team is really admirable to everyone."

Zahavi is a typical Israeli. He is not tall but has a good eloquence. He introduced the two main characters in a snappy manner, and also pointed out some things about Ye Qiu. Obviously, he was afraid of Abra Mović is unfamiliar.

Hearing Zahavi talk about Ye Qiu, Ferdinand and Veron both smiled politely. They are now Ye Qiu's opponents in name. Embarrassed.

Of course, no one would have thought that Ajax would acquire these two superstars.

As for Souness, he was obviously jealous, but he didn't attack, he just turned his face to the other side.

Only Abramovich always looked at Ye Qiu with a comfortable smile.

"Mr. Ye Qiu is in Manchester this time, but is he going to inspect Manchester United?" Abramovich asked with a smile after Zahavi finished speaking. His voice was not as loud as the Russian guy imagined. A little soft, but quite magnetic.

"Yes!" Ye Qiu nodded, it's no secret anyway, "Are you a Manchester United fan?"

Always looking for a topic, Ye Qiu had to pretend that he didn't know this guy.

Abramovich laughed after hearing this, "If I told you that I came to buy Manchester United, would you believe me?"

"That depends on how much money you have!" Ye Qiu replied with a smile, and everyone present also smiled.

It is indeed something that everyone knows that Manchester United can be acquired with money.

Abramovich smiled again, "How much do you think is enough?"

Ye Qiu thought for a while, "It's not just a matter of money to buy Manchester United. Manchester United is a listed company, and the shares are held by many people. If you want to impress these people, you have to pay a high price. I estimate that it will cost at least 10 billion euros, and the whole process will take a long time, Murdoch failed in 98!"

In the previous life, the Gretz family bought Manchester United after Manchester United lost many stars, but it cost more than 8 million pounds. Now that Manchester United is so strong, it may not be easy to acquire their shares. You have to vomit blood.

"10 billion euros?" Abramovich's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Zahavi, who didn't refute or give any hints, which proved that Ye Qiu's guess was similar.

"This is just the beginning. Football is a game that burns money. Manchester United's lineup looks strong, but in fact it has a lot of weaknesses. After the acquisition of the team, it must last for several years. We still have to convince Sir Alex Ferguson, without him nodding his support, the acquisition might not be possible."

Ferguson's influence on Manchester United cannot be underestimated. In fact, if the Glazer family's acquisition of Manchester United can be successful, Ferguson nodded in support. Otherwise, there will definitely be many variables.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Ye Qiu not only has excellent coaching performance, but also is very familiar with the club's management!" Abramovich directly stopped the topic with a laugh.

Ye Qiu smiled and was noncommittal. He is now the head coach of Ajax, so it is necessary to have a demeanor of not being surprised.

"Just now, Mr. Ye Qiu said that Manchester United's lineup has a lot of weaknesses. It sounds like you have a certain chance of defeating Manchester United?" Souness took advantage of no one to speak, and said something against Ye Qiu.

When the Premier League coach said this, he made Ye Qiu's comment just now seem like Ye Qiu was being arrogant.

You know, the current Manchester United is the top team in Europe. Even if they encounter the defending champion Real Madrid, the La Liga giants dare not say that they can beat their opponents steadily, let alone a small Eredivisie team?

"Mr. Souness is wrong. Football is round. The outcome is unpredictable. Anything is possible. Don't you think Ajax can't beat Manchester United?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

When it comes to the topic of Manchester United, the two Manchester United players, Ferdinand and Veron, are a bit embarrassed, but they have never made a sound. Obviously, they are more or less restrained in front of Abramovich, which is also related to their loyalty to Manchester United. The degree is not high.

If it were Keane, Scholes and others who were sitting here now, it would be good if they didn't start scolding.

"The odds are slim." Souness did not say it was impossible.

Ye Qiu chuckled, "It depends on the person. Maybe for Mr. Souness, the odds are very small, but for me, it may not be so. It's like asking me to take Blackburn now. I can't guarantee it." Can take you to seventh place in the Premier League, right?"

After hearing this, Souness felt a little complacent, smiled, and did not refute.

What he is most proud of is leading Blackburn to upgrade from League One to the Premier League, and almost every year to a higher level, this season has brought Blackburn to the 7th position in the Premier League, and even one step further, it will be a European competition.

But to Abramovich, Zahavi and others, these words felt awkward no matter what.

Is it an honor to be 7th in the Premier League?
They led the Ajax second team to win the Dutch Cup, led a newly reorganized Ajax to win the UEFA Cup and the Dutch Cup, won the Dutch Championship in the second year, and defended the Dutch Cup , also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, this year's performance is still not bad, the Eredivisie, the Dutch Cup and the Champions League go hand in hand.

Although the Eredivisie League is not as influential as the Premier League, the results are solid. If there are no results in European competitions, it may not be considered a skill, but their strength in the European arena is also a solid fact.

Therefore, what Ye Qiu said, in their ears, was actually implying, what are you Souness showing off in front of me?When you have the opportunity to compete with the master in the European arena, then you are qualified to speak!

But Souness didn't notice it, and there was a smile on the other side, which made Abramovich look a little hesitant.

Abramovich's face darkened, and Zahavi knew that Souness wanted to get this big money, and it was basically useless!
This Israeli is also a master who is good at observing words and deeds. On the contrary, he saw that Abramovich was interested in Ye Qiu, so he laughed, "In the current European football, dare to say that the team that can beat Ajax , I don’t think even giants like Real Madrid and Manchester United have the guts!”

What Zahavi said made Ye Qiu feel more important in Abramovich's heart, while Souness's face changed and he was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to complain to Zahavi.

"Mr. Ye Qiu can use two or three years to bring an Eredivisie team into a top team in the current European arena. This strength is still admirable." Abramovich smiled after hearing this, "Just I don't know if Mr. Ye Qiu likes it or not, but I hope to watch this match live in Amsterdam."

Can Ye Qiu say no?

Obviously not, because the rich man opened his mouth, so he can't slap him in the face, right?

There is a saying that goes well, one more friend and many paths are better than offending someone.

"What does this Russian guy do? He seems to be very rich?" On the way back to the airport, Roland asked Ye Qiu in a puzzled way. Even now, he still hates Abramovich. surprised.

The meal they invited Ye Qiu just now cost several thousand pounds, right?

Thinking about it makes me feel crazy, how can the rich live such a luxurious and carefree life?
"Don't be unbalanced in your heart!" Ye Qiu scolded with a smile, "If someone has money, it doesn't necessarily mean that it falls from the sky. Who doesn't earn it through hard work?" Even these oligarchs, did they get their money by sitting at home?
Of course, maybe the way they make money is somewhat unacceptable, but no matter what, Ye Qiu always feels that no one in this world is unexplainably successful, and no one's success is accidental.

"From his tone, it seems that he really wants to buy a football club." Roland said.

Ye Qiu smiled and nodded, "That's for sure, but it can't be Manchester United, the Red Devils are too expensive!"

"I think that Abramovich admires you very much. If he buys a Premier League team and invites you to coach, will you go?" Roland asked tentatively.

Ye Qiu glanced at the chubby Dutchman, smiled inwardly, shook his head and said, "I'm not thinking about it for now, the most important thing for me right now is to beat Manchester United and get the right to qualify for the group stage."

"Besides, he appreciates me, so I should obey him and flock to him? What's the reason?" Ye Qiu sneered and shook his head, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes sugar daddy? ?”

After really thinking about it, Ye Qiu admitted that his future wife is indeed rich, and super rich, but when he was dating her, he didn't know that her family was so rich, it could only be a coincidence and luck.

Roland smiled after hearing this, he knew Ye Qiu very well.

Ye Qiu seems to be very tactful in doing things, but he is still very arrogant in his heart. He has always believed in a principle, that is, you have to be strong yourself to forge iron, so he didn't give Westhoff, Walter Si waited for the superior's face, which caused so much trouble.

If Abramovich just said that he is rich now, and if he wanted to buy a club, Ye Qiu had to flatter his ass like that Souness, then Ye Qiu would probably not be able to do such a thing if he was killed.

No, just now Ye Qiu agreed to give Abramovich the tickets, but said that he would be busy in those two days. This is also tantamount to implying that after Abramovich arrives in Amsterdam, he can do whatever he wants!

After thinking about it, Roland admired Ye Qiu even more. If it were him, he might not be able to stick to principles like him.

The rich man who wants to buy Manchester United, how much money does it have?It's scary to think about the fact that you can spend a lifetime without worrying about eating and drinking for a small change.

The two flew from Manchester, crossed the English Channel, and landed in Amsterdam.

Ye Qiu's Ferrari was parked in the parking lot of Amsterdam Airport. The two picked up the car and went home directly.

Early the next morning, after the team's training session, Ye Qiu called a meeting of the entire first-team coaching staff, mentioned his achievements at Old Trafford, and raised the biggest problem for Manchester United.

"Defense!" Ye Qiu faced all the coaches of the first team, expressing his opinion, "The defense line composed of Sylvester, Brown, Ferdinand and Gary Neville, the two central defenders are the biggest. In this game against Arsenal, the two central defenders did not cooperate well enough, their attention was not concentrated enough, etc. All of these caused the two central defenders to be responsible for conceding goals and being passive in the scene.”

"And I just received the news that Ferguson kicked Beckham with a flying shoe in the locker room after the Arsenal game. The two masters and apprentices had a falling out. The English media have already hyped up this matter. It's a big change, so if Beckham plays in the next game, it's better, if not, our chances will be even greater."

With Beckham and without Beckham, there is still a big gap between the two, especially for Manchester United's midfield combination, which has lost Beckham's ability to accurately pass long passes with almost no restrictions , Ye Qiu was more confident that his team could suppress Manchester United's midfield.

Although a bit unkind, Ye Qiu really felt that the flying shoe incident was not a bad thing for Ajax, but a good thing.

But Ferguson is also the master who can afford to let go. On the third day after the flying shoe incident, on the morning when the team came to Amsterdam, he took the initiative to interview Beckham after the training session. The two sides announced soon, A settlement was reached over the flying shoe incident, which ended with a private apology from Ferguson.

But many people believe that this is only temporary, and the possibility of Beckham leaving Manchester United is constantly expanding.

Ye Qiu didn't feel much about this piece of news. Instead, another piece of news came, which made him very happy.
