Chapter 72: Tool Man to Raise Price
Adam Crozier didn’t sleep well all night.
He is so unlucky!
Yesterday afternoon, by mistake, I went to Cardiff to watch a game, and the result was captured by the live broadcast camera.
No need to guess, they all appeared on the big screen, and probably also on live broadcast.
When leaving the field, he had been particularly careful.
As a result, the paparazzi who were all-pervasive got their scent.
He even left through another exit, but was caught red-handed by a reporter from the Sun.
There is no other way, he can only accept the interview.
Why come to watch the Bayswater Chinese match?
Because Yang Cheng and I are very good friends.
Do you have any thoughts of returning to English football?
No, no, I'm very happy at Royal Mail.
Is it possible to return in the future?
Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
How to evaluate the work of the FA in the past two years...
Adam Crozier looked back afterward and felt that his answer was impeccable.
It shouldn’t be a big problem, right?
But what happened yesterday still shocked him a lot.
He really didn’t expect that Yang Cheng could bring out the Bayswater Chinese.
From the current point of view, this team is indeed very effective.
This club does have a bright future.
The debt is just too high.
If he had not come to Royal Mail, well, especially without such a high salary, Adam Crozier would really have been able to take a willful risk like Xia Qing.
The League Cup final is on Saturday afternoon, so there is no need to go to work the next day.
Adam Crozier was still catching up on his sleep when his cell phone rang suddenly.
He grabbed it and answered it, and the secretary's sweet voice came immediately.
"Adam, the directors hope to hold a meeting in the afternoon and ask you to come back and explain."
"Explain what?" Adam Crozier was puzzled.
“Didn’t you see the morning newspaper?”
Adam Crozier was stunned for a moment, and immediately had an ominous premonition.
He is very aware of the style of the British paparazzi.
What these bastards are best at is creating hot news.
It just so happens that Adam Crozier is quite hot right now.
Especially the Royal Mail strike.
After hanging up the phone, Adam Crozier jumped out of bed. Without brushing his teeth or washing his face, he walked straight out of the bedroom and out of the courtyard, and got the morning's fresh newspaper from the newspaper box at the door.
He subscribed to many newspapers, including The Times, The Guardian and The Sun.
This morning, the front pages of major newspapers in the UK all published the celebration scene of the Bayswater Chinese winning the League Cup. Many media even described this championship as a "miracle".
It is completely conceivable that overnight, the Bayswater Chinese became popular in English football!
Of course, Adam Crozier knows very well that this kind of fire is virtual fire.
Despite the huge momentum overnight and the media attention and hype, this kind of traffic comes and goes even faster.
The key depends on whether the Bayswater Chinese can continue this wave of traffic.
For example, reaching the Premier League.
If they do, they will become one of the most watched teams in the Premier League in the new season.
Adam Crozier is not in the mood to pay attention to the Bayswater Chinese right now.
He kept flipping through the Sun and soon found an article about himself.
Royal Mail CEO actively returns to football!
Adam Crozier’s first reaction when he saw this report was to curse.
I am Kequni Madi!
Looking at this report again, it contains photos of Adam Crozier appearing in the stands to watch the game and cheering for the Bayswater Chinese, as well as an interview after the game.
I have to admit that The Sun’s accomplishments in journalism are truly proficient.
Obviously there are two questions and two answers, but they are integrated together.
So, in the newspaper it became: The Sun reporter asked if he planned to return to football?
“I am very happy working for Royal Mail now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?”
The most terrible thing is that they deliberately disrupted the order of questions and answers and put this question Put it last.
The front is about some of Adam Crozier’s comments about the Bayswater Chinese and this League Cup final.
As invited by Yang Cheng to watch the game, the Bayswater Chinese won the championship again. There is no reason for Adam Crozier to disparage it, right?
Of course you have to say more nice things and praise me, right?
The result is good.
After the previous compliment, he said that he and Yang Cheng were good friends, and finally gave an ambiguous answer.
Doesn’t this imply to all readers that Adam Crozier is actively planning to return to football?
And probably join the Bayswater Chinese?
Journalism really costs lives!
......
Yang Cheng had just won the first national championship trophy in the club's history from Cardiff. Before he could get over the excitement, trouble followed.
First, the London Borough of Westminster City Council sent an official letter to the Bayswater Chinese.
The content of the official letter is generally to inquire about the construction progress of Bayswater Stadium.
There are many legal provisions and government regulations cited in it, which are nothing more than urging the Chinese people in Bayswater to complete the construction of the new stadium and training ground as soon as possible to avoid damaging the appearance of London and Westminster. cause adverse effects.
At the same time, the Chinese people in Bayswater were reminded that if the deadline is exceeded, they have the right to take back the land.
When Yang Chenggang saw this official letter, he was quite surprised.
Where did this Westminster City Council come from?
Finally, I found Xia Qing to figure it out.
It turns out that the land owned by the Chinese in Bayswater is quite interesting.
The location where the land is located belongs to the City of Westminster, which is a borough of London.
If you go a little further west, you will find the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium is located in this borough.
So it is really difficult for them to rebuild Stamford Bridge.
To put it more simply, in terms of housing prices, Kensington-Chelsea is the most expensive, and Westminster is slightly less expensive, but it is also very influential.
The British Parliament is called the Westminster Parliament.
In London, the Greater London Government only provides some strategic, cross-regional public services.
But most of the day-to-day work, such as education, social services, housing, roads, regional planning and so on, belongs to the borough councils, of which there are more than thirty in total.
“Did we make them unhappy by renting Loftus Road Stadium?” Yang Cheng asked funnyly.
If you follow what Xia Qing said, Loftus Road belongs to Hammersmith & Fulham.
This borough has two teams, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers.
By the way, Westminster currently has only one professional team.
If that were the case, it would be a bit difficult to stretch.
After all, the lease is at Loftus Road Stadium, so consumption, employment, etc. are all there.
"It shouldn't be the case, Westminster is quite rich." Xia Qing smiled and shook her head.
Yang Cheng’s speculation is unreasonable.
“I think it’s just a matter of exerting some pressure and supervision. After all, this project is rotten and doesn’t look good.” “And you also know that London is bidding for the Olympics.”
Yang Cheng thought to himself, I was not the one who built the unfinished building.
But I have to admit that what Xia Qing said is the truth.
It is located in the core area of London, and the surrounding facilities are very mature. However, such an unfinished project stands there, which is really unsightly.
“Then I can’t help it, and now I don’t have any money.”
Yang Cheng is very single.
What can you do if you don’t have money?
Should we take it back?
"In the short term, it will definitely not be a problem if we take it back, but it will be hard to say if it takes a long time."
"That's okay." Yang Cheng was relieved.
"First build up the training base at Brent Reservoir. In four or five years, I will push forward all the unfinished projects and rebuild the largest and most luxurious stadium in the world."
< br>"Where did you get the money?" Xia Qing thought Yang Cheng was joking.
"Borrow it."
"Now the interest rate is going to be raised again. It is said that it will be raised to more than 5%." Xia Qing poured cold water on him.
Yang Cheng smiled mysteriously and said no more.
There is no use in talking more.
Because no one would have thought that when the US subprime mortgage crisis hit and the European debt crisis hit, the UK would cut interest rates six times in a very short period of time, directly to 0.5%, and this has continued ever since. Many years.
By that time, Yang Cheng will definitely borrow money to build the stadium.
In Yang Cheng's previous life, Tottenham Hotspur had already planned to build a stadium as early as around 2010.
However, due to various reasons, it has been delayed. When it was later built, it happened to be during the British government's interest rate hike cycle.
But even so, Tottenham Hotspur's largest loan of more than 600 million pounds has an interest rate of only about 2.5%.
When Arsenal was building the Emirates Stadium, the interest rates were 4-5%.
However, interest rate cuts will only happen in a few years.
What Yang Cheng needs to do most now is to quickly set up the training base and improve the club's management framework.
Especially business development.
Entering the Premier League, this is a piece of fat.
Well, there is also Cheap Daddy’s chest advertisement.
I have been prostituted by him for two years for nothing. If I enter the Premier League, I will definitely ask him to pay for it.
It is necessary to kiss father and son and settle accounts clearly.
……
After handling the official government correspondence, another trouble followed.
As the Bayswater Chinese unexpectedly won the League Cup final, the outstanding players in the team began to attract the attention of more and more teams.
For example Ribery, Alan Lennon, Kitson, Huddlestone and Lars Diarra.
These players are all young and have performed at a very good level.
Francis Ribery, in particular, has begun to have calls to be selected for the French national team.
The Sun also revealed before that Mourinho is very interested in the French winger.
Kitson is the Bayswater Chinese's top scorer this season and is a local center, so he naturally attracts a lot of attention.
By the way, Jonathan Steed has proven his strength and potential at Blackburn, but with the dismissal of Souness, his situation is getting worse day by day.
I had previously conveyed through my agent that I wanted to return to Bayswater Chinese.
But Yang Cheng declined.
Now there is no room for him in the team at all.
Besides, if he really wants a center, Yang Cheng would rather go outside to buy one.
At least it’s cheap.
England local players are really expensive.
Huddlestone is another local player receiving attention.
That kick in the League Cup final was truly amazing.
He is tall and has excellent frontal defense, especially the long pass, which is very good. This is very attractive to the English team.
After the League Cup final, his agent Jonathan Barnett found Yang Cheng.
The two had just negotiated a deal for Joe Hart, and now they have begun to contact Huddlestone again.
“Now that I see you, I want to kill you.”
Yang Cheng threatened the agent with a kind smile.
Jonathan Barnett certainly didn’t believe it.
On the contrary, he felt that Yang Cheng might still be happy in his heart.
However, he himself was also very curious.
After Yang Cheng sold Joe Hart, he was able to sign Neuer without stopping.
So if he sells Huddlestone again, can he find another one right away?
To really do it, Jonathan Barnett will definitely have to re-evaluate Yang Cheng and the Bayswater Chinese.
"Tell me." Yang Cheng's time is precious.
"There are indeed several Premier League teams interested in Huddlestone. After all, he is still young and his salary is not high."
Yang Cheng did not hide it, but asked rhetorically I asked, "Is there a Chelsea?"
Jonathan Barnett was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and secretly screamed in his heart: Black, so damn dark!
"Yes!" Barnett replied firmly.
No?
Labor and management directly exposed it to the media. It is impossible for Chelsea to deny it, right?
Deny?
That means there are three hundred taels of silver in this place.
As agents, our main focus is flexibility!
“Now is a critical moment for our team to compete in the Premier League. We will not contact any team. Everything is focused on the great cause of competing in the Premier League!”
Jonathan Barnett understands Yang Cheng meaning.
Yang Cheng is very satisfied with the cooperation of this big manager.
This is actually a kind of cooperation.
As for Chelsea, are there any more suitable tools to raise prices than the Blues these days?
"Also, I want you to do something for me."
Jonathan Barnett has extraordinary connections in British football, and he is one of the best agents.
Yang Cheng felt that it was most appropriate to entrust him with this matter.
Fix the club first, and if necessary, he personally convinces the players.
As long as we take it down, we won’t have to worry about the wings in the next few years.
As for selling Huddlestone, Yang Cheng also has his own considerations.
Las Diarra has made great progress this season, especially in sticking to the ball, and Yang Cheng will continue to beat him.
Modric also continues to improve.
By selling Huddlestone, Yang Cheng will sign a world-class midfielder who will complement Lars Diarra and Modric.
Waiting until the new season, Yang Cheng will let the Premier League feel the shock from the Chinese!
