I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 29 I am not a rich man

"That's 2000 million pounds!"

"Ah Cheng, I'm not questioning you, but even if you sell me out, you can't come up with that much money."

"That's 2 million RMB!"

"Two years, can we afford it?"

……

On the way back to central London from the Brent Dam, Lin Zhongqiu, sitting in the back seat, kept nagging Yang Cheng.

This was very novel to Chris Hunter, who was sitting in the front seat and driving the car.

how to say?

Full of conflict.

The young Yang Cheng was decisive and made the decision on the spot, even proposing to invest 2 million pounds in the next two years.

If Chris Hunt fails to negotiate such an investment with the government, he will have no chance of staying in the City of Finance.

But what about Lin Zhongqiu?
He is the complete opposite of Yang Cheng, very conservative and cautious.

When he heard the number 2000 million pounds, he probably almost collapsed.

But on second thought, Chris Hunter felt a little sympathy for the poor old treasurer.

Given the current situation of the Chinese in Bayswater, it is unrealistic to come up with £2000 million.

But for some reason, Chris Hunter had confidence in Yang Cheng again.

Brian Kidd, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was already accustomed to this kind of scene. He just smiled when he saw Chris Hunter's strange expression.

"No, we can't do this." Lin Zhongqiu firmly objected.

"Don't worry, Uncle Lin, I'll figure out the money issue, so don't worry about it."

Yang Cheng felt somewhat helpless as he looked at this elder who was loyal to his family but also cautious.

He increasingly felt that Lin Zhongqiu would become an obstacle to him.

Perhaps we should consider sending him back home.

But who will replace Lin Zhongqiu?

Yang Cheng was really worried about the finance department because they didn't have his own people.

This is a top priority for any club.

During his tenure at Barcelona, ​​Ferran Soriano was the vice-president in charge of finance and the right-hand man of President Laporta.

It was also because of his outstanding performance during his tenure at Barcelona that he was favored by the Abu Dhabi consortium and appointed as the president of Manchester City.

In Real Madrid, the vice president is also in charge of finance.

During Florentino's tenure, Real Madrid's finance department recruited many talents from major multinational companies, and they created a very meticulous salary structure for Real Madrid.

At the same time, he also provided advice for Real Madrid's signings.

This is basically the case for other major clubs, and even all clubs.

Yang Cheng would really feel uneasy if there wasn't someone with outstanding abilities and whom he could trust in charge of finance.

This even involves the core competitiveness of a club.

For example, salary structure.

A well-functioning salary system can effectively motivate players and create a virtuous circle for the team.

This has been proven countless times.

But at present, there is no such system for the Chinese in Bayswater.

Yang Cheng is not capable of doing it on his own.

To be able to work in the UK, you must have sufficient ability and, most importantly, absolute trust...

Yang Cheng racked his brains, but he really couldn't find a suitable candidate.

But in this life...

It seems there really is one.

……

After returning to the city center from Kimberly Green, Yang Cheng began intensive preparations.

The team is currently operating stably, but next they will play in the British Championship final, which is the first professional league championship trophy for the team in all its years of existence.

No matter what, Yang Cheng and the entire team hope to win it.

Yang Cheng's cheap dad even called him from China to ask him about the land purchase.

Needless to say, Lin Zhongqiu went to report on his work again.

But he did not elaborate, just expressed his support for Yang Cheng again.

At the same time, he also plans to go to the UK to watch the British Championship final.

3月2日，贝斯沃特中国人在英乙第34轮比赛里，主场2比0击败了谢周三。

But four days later on the weekend, in the 4th round of English League Two, the team drew 35-0 with Notts County away.

As Queens Park Rangers and Plymouth both drew, Bayswater Chinese's lead remained unchanged.

With only 11 rounds left in the English League Two, promotion is a high probability event for Bayswater Chinese.

It is precisely because the team is operating stably that Yang Cheng has time to step away and do his own things.

……

Mention London's Fleet Street and the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is definitely the paparazzi.

Fleet Street in the City of London was once the headquarters of major British media outlets.

But times have changed, and today there is only one Reuters left on Fleet Street.

There have even been rumors that Reuters is considering moving out of Fleet Street.

After leaving Fleet Street, these newspapers generally went to Wapping or Canary Wharf.

Also moved was the Fleet Street title.

But Fleet Street was still crowded.

The entire street is filled with law firms of all sizes.

The River Court Building is located at the corner of Fleet Street East. It was once the headquarters of the Daily Telegraph and is now the UK headquarters of the investment bank Goldman Sachs.

At tea time, in a donut shop diagonally opposite the Heting Building, Yang Cheng sat in front of the window facing the street, leisurely drinking coffee and waiting for people.

The door rang, and an urban beauty dressed in black OL with a white V-neck shirt suddenly appeared.

She was obviously a regular customer of this store. She came to the counter, greeted the busy proprietress, and said "business as usual", but her eyes were wandering around the store.

Soon, she locked onto Yang Cheng.

In Yang Cheng's memory of this life, his impression of his college senior Xia Qing was rather vague, consisting of only one word.

nice!
Their university had never held a selection for the so-called campus beauty, but among the male students, whenever they discussed beauties, they would definitely mention Xia Qing from the business school.

To be honest, Yang Cheng, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was a little disappointed when he saw Xia Qing for the first time.

There was no such shocking impact as expected.

She is really beautiful, with picturesque features, but she does not leave any particularly deep impression at first glance.

But when he took a closer look for the second time, Yang Cheng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Her face was almost flawless, as if it was carefully carved by God with his magic, explaining to the world the golden ratio of three parts, five eyes, four highs and three lows.

The third look reveals her beauty. She is 1 meters tall, with thin shoulders and waist, a slender figure, straight long hair tied behind her neck, and a neutral black and white uniform that fits her figure perfectly, revealing a neat and tidy workplace temperament, but it can't hide her soft beauty.

Seeing the fourth eye...

Xia Qing's gaze happened to fall on Yang Cheng. She smiled at him and walked towards him slowly.

In an instant, it seemed as if the whole world turned into warm white.

"Wait a long time?"

Xia Qing came to the opposite side of Yang Cheng, pulled out a chair and sat down. Her gentle eyes were always on Yang Cheng, which easily made people feel close to him.

This made Yang Cheng feel very comfortable.

"Not long ago, I just got here too."

Yang Cheng responded casually, but he noticed that when Xia Qing sat down, she looked at the empty coffee cup in front of him with a smile.

It’s over, it’s exposed.

"Well, actually, I arrived half an hour early." Yang Cheng confessed.

"Sorry, I'm busy following up on a project recently."

Xia Qing was not late, but she still apologized.

"I understand. He has a master's degree from Oxford Business School and is an investment expert at Goldman Sachs. He has handled large projects worth hundreds of millions of pounds."

Xia Qing smiled and rolled her eyes at him, "Don't make fun of me. In such a big organization, I am just a humble financial worker."

"Senior, if you say that, I will feel even more ashamed of myself."

Just at this moment, the waiter brought a cup of coffee and a donut and placed them in front of Xia Qing.

Yang Cheng also took the opportunity to order another cup of black coffee.

"Okay, stop joking. You've been in London for more than half a year, right? Why did you suddenly think of coming to see me?" Xia Qing took a sip of coffee elegantly, looking at Yang Cheng with a smile in her eyes.

Yang Cheng immediately smiled bitterly, "Aren't you here to ask Senior Sister for help?"

"Don't pretend. I've seen news about you in the newspaper. I heard that you are now the leader of the English League Two and the favorite to be promoted."

As she spoke, she looked at the junior in front of her with a look that showed she wanted to get to know him again.

"Senior, that's just superficial, really."

Xia Qing smiled but said nothing.

Yang Cheng discovered that she was not only extremely beautiful, but also loved to laugh.

She becomes even more beautiful when she smiles.

She always has a kind of confidence that makes her feel like she has never been troubled by this world.

This reminded Yang Cheng of a rumor he had heard during college.

It is said that Xia Qing's family is not simple.

With a good family background, beautiful appearance and strong abilities, it seems that there is nothing to be difficult about.

The key is that she is very easy to get along with.

Yang Cheng met Xia Qing when the new students entered the school. She was helping to welcome the new students in the student union.

But Yang Cheng had no idea that while he was sizing up Xia Qing, Xia Qing was also sizing up at him.

After not seeing him for three years, this junior has really changed a lot.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xia Qing looked at the watch on her wrist and urged.

Yang Cheng didn't say anything more and just handed over the materials he had prepared.

He told Xia Qing in detail about the problems currently faced by the Chinese in Bayswater and his own difficulties.

"Senior, if I remember correctly, you majored in accounting in your undergraduate studies, and you also interned in a large company in our province, right?"

Xia Qing frowned slightly and carefully read the materials handed over by Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng sat opposite, looking at the focused beauty in front of him with great interest.

She becomes even more beautiful when she is serious!
"How about this, we don't have time now. I'll take this material with me and I'll help you sort it out later to see if I can help you."

"Thank you, senior sister."

"Regarding the investment of 2000 million pounds to build a training base, I suggest you think about it carefully again."

"why?"

“The interest rates have increased.”

Yang Cheng didn't understand it for a moment.

"If I'm not mistaken, your idea is to acquire this piece of land, then use it as a mortgage loan and use the loan to invest in the construction of the training base, but you overlooked one thing."

"In the past few years, the UK's loan interest rate has been relatively stable, but it increased to 11% in November last year. In February this year, it increased by another 3.75 points to 2%. It is expected to increase further in the future."

When Xia Qing said this, concern flashed in her eyes.

"Ah Cheng, in this period of interest rate hikes, rashly borrowing such a large sum of money to invest in the construction of a training base, given your current revenue capacity, I think... it's a bit dangerous."

Yang Cheng had been busy with the competition and had not really noticed the news about the interest rate hike.

This shows that we still need to have a good financial expert around us.

"Senior, I do plan to take out a mortgage, but I won't take any chances."

Yang Cheng briefly explained his thoughts.

He raised funds in roughly four directions.

Part of it was paid out of pocket, and part of it was a bank loan.

There is no need to say more about this.

Also, he will go to the English Football Association to apply for youth training subsidies.

The English Football Association provides a certain amount of subsidies for clubs' investment in youth training and training facilities.

"Most importantly, I hope the FA can help us get a low-interest loan."

There's nothing we can do. Who made our family poor?

If he were a rich man like Abramovich, why would he care about these things?
After hearing this, Xia Qing thought it was feasible.

"If this is the case, the pressure will indeed be relieved a lot, but the key still depends on the amount of the low-interest loan."

Yang Cheng nodded, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I won't be reckless."

After a pause, he rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, don't you, senior sister, protect me from behind?"

Xia Qing immediately realized Yang Cheng's ill intentions, and immediately stood up and scolded with a smile: "I am so busy every day, how can I have time to worry about you?"

Having said that, she still took away all the materials prepared by Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng smiled and watched her leave, feeling relieved.

If it's really as Xia Qing said, then we really can't be too reckless.

But no matter what, youth training must be carried out.

Otherwise, qualification for the Championship will be in question.

And the stadium...

When Yang Cheng thought of these troubles, he felt a headache again.

　I beg for your collection! I beg for votes! Thank you so much!!
