I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 72: Price Raising Tool

Adam Crozier didn't sleep well that night.

He is so unlucky!
Yesterday afternoon, I went to Cardiff to watch the game for some unknown reason, and was captured by the live broadcast camera.

No need to guess, it all appeared on the big screen, and it was probably broadcast live.

He was very careful when leaving.

In the end, the paparazzi who were omnipresent still got a whiff of it.

He even tried to leave through another exit, but was still caught by a reporter from The Sun.

He had no choice but to accept the interview.

Why come to watch the Bayswater Chinese play?

Because Yang Cheng and I are very good friends.

Do you have any thoughts on returning to English football?

No, no, I'm very happy working for the Royal Mail.

Is it possible to return in the future?
Who can predict what will happen in the future?

How do you evaluate the work of the English Football Association in the past two years?

Adam Crozier reviewed the answer later 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 the Chinese out of Bayswater.

From the current perspective, this team is indeed very combative.

This club does have great prospects.

The debt is just a bit high.

If he hadn't come to the Royal Mail, well, especially if he didn't have such a high salary, Adam Crozier might really have taken a willful risk like Xia Qing.

The League Cup final is on Saturday afternoon, so I don’t have to go to work the next day.

Adam Crozier was still catching up on some sleep in bed when his cell phone rang.

I picked it up and immediately heard the secretary's sweet voice.

"Adam, the directors want to have a meeting this afternoon and ask you to come back and explain."

"Explain what?" Adam Crozier wondered.

"Didn't you see the morning paper?"

Adam Crozer was stunned for a moment, and immediately had an ominous premonition.

He knew all too well the ways of the British paparazzi.

What these bastards are best at is creating hot news.

But Adam Crozier is still quite popular right now.

Especially the Royal Mail strike thing.

After hanging up the phone, Adam Crozier jumped out of bed, without brushing his teeth or washing his face, and walked straight out of the bedroom, out of the yard, and took the freshly baked morning newspaper from the mailbox at the gate.

He subscribes to a number of newspapers, including The Times, The Guardian and The Sun.

This morning, the front pages of major British newspapers all reported the celebration of the Chinese in Bayswater winning the League Cup. Many media even described this championship as a "miracle".

It is entirely conceivable that overnight, the Chinese from Bayswater became famous in the English football world!
Of course, Adam Crozier knew very well that this kind of fire was a false fire.

Even though it generated a lot of publicity overnight and received a lot of media attention and hype, this kind of traffic comes quickly and goes away even faster.

The key lies in whether 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 was in no 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 is back in action!
Adam Crozier's first reaction to this report was to curse.

I am Qunimadi!

Looking at the report again, there are photos of Adam Crozier watching the game in the stands and cheering for the Chinese in Bayswater, as well as post-match interviews.

One has to admit that The Sun's achievements in journalism are truly extraordinary.

There are clearly two questions and two answers, but they were integrated together.

So, in the newspaper it became: A reporter from The Sun asked if you planned to return to football?
"I'm very happy working for the Royal Mail now, but who can say what will happen in the future?"

The worst thing is that they deliberately disrupted the order of questions and answers and put this question at the end.

The previous report was about Adam Crozier's comments on the Chinese in Bayswater and the League Cup final.

As a guest invited by Yang Cheng to watch the game, the Chinese from Bayswater won the championship again. There is no reason for Adam Crozier to belittle it, right?
Of course, you should say a few more nice words and give some praise, right?

The result is good.

After all the praise at the beginning, he said in the middle 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 most likely to join the Bayswater Chinese?

Journalism is really life-threatening!
……

Yang Cheng had just brought back the first national championship trophy in the club's history from Cardiff, and before he could get over the excitement, trouble followed.

First, the London Borough of Westminster City Council sent an official letter to the Chinese in Bayswater.

The content of the official letter was basically inquiring about the construction progress of the Bayswater Stadium.

It cites many legal clauses and government regulations, all of which are aimed at urging the Chinese in Bayswater to complete the construction of the new stadium and training ground as soon as possible to avoid adverse effects on the appearance of London and Westminster.

At the same time, the Chinese in Bayswater were reminded that if the deadline was exceeded, they had the right to reclaim the land.

When Yang Cheng first saw this official letter, he was quite surprised.

Where did this Westminster City Council come from?
Finally, I found Xia Qing and figured it out.

It turns out that this piece of land owned by the Chinese in Bayswater is quite interesting.

The land is located in the City of Westminster, 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 autonomous region.

So if they want to rebuild Stamford Bridge, it will be extremely difficult.

To put it more simply, based on house prices, Kensington and Chelsea is the most expensive, and Westminster is slightly behind, but this is also very influential.

The British Parliament is called Westminster Parliament.

In London, the Greater London Authority 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, etc., falls to the municipal councils, of which there are about thirty in total.

"Is it because we rented the Loftus Road Stadium that made them unhappy?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

If what Xia Qing said is true, Loftus Road Stadium belongs to Hammersmith & Fulham.

The municipality has two teams, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers.

By the way, Westminster City currently has only one professional football team.

If that's the case, it would be a bit difficult to deal with.

After all, it is leased at Loftus Road Stadium, so consumption, employment and so on are all there.

"It shouldn't be the case. The city of 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 urging it on. After all, this project is rotten and it doesn't look good." "And you also know that London is bidding for the Olympics."

Yang Cheng said to himself, I didn’t build this unfinished building.

But I have to admit that what Xia Qing said was true.

Located in the core area of ​​London, the surrounding supporting facilities are very mature, but there is such an unfinished project standing there, which is really ugly.

"Then I can't help it. I don't have any money now."

Yang Cheng is single.

What can I do if I have no money?

Should we snatch it back?
"In the short term, it is definitely not possible to take it back, but in the long term, it is hard to say."

"That's okay." Yang Cheng was relieved.

"Let's first build up the training base over at the Brent Reservoir. In four or five years, I will scrap this unfinished project and rebuild the largest and most luxurious stadium in the world."

"Where did you get the money?" Xia Qing thought Yang Cheng was joking.

“Borrow it.”

"The interest rate is going to be raised again. It is said that it will be raised to above 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 came, the UK would cut interest rates six times in a very short period of time, directly reducing it to 6%, and it would continue for many years.

By that time, Yang Cheng would 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.

But for various reasons, it was kept delayed, and when it was finally built, it happened to coincide with the British government's interest rate hike cycle.

But even so, Tottenham Hotspur's largest loan of more than 6 million pounds has an interest rate of only about 2.5%.

When Arsenal were building the Emirates Stadium, the interest rate was 4-5%.

However, a rate cut is a matter of a few years.

What Yang Cheng needs to do most now is to quickly set up the training base and improve the club's operating framework.

Especially business development.

Entering the Premier League is a piece of fat meat.

Well, there’s also the Cheap Daddy chest ad.

I got free rides from him for two years, and now that I’ve entered the Premier League, I must ask him to pay.

It is necessary for fathers and sons to settle accounts clearly.

……

After dealing with the government letter, another trouble came.

As 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, Aaron Lennon, Kitson, Huddlestone and Las Diarra.

These players are all very young and have shown very good levels.

Ribery, in particular, has begun to be called up for the French national team.

The Sun previously revealed that Mourinho was very interested in the French winger.

Kitson is the leading scorer for the Bayswater Chinese this season and a local center, so naturally he is also attracting a lot of attention.

By the way, Jonathan Steed has proven his strength and potential at Blackburn, but with Souness's dismissal, his situation has become worse day by day.

I have previously conveyed through my agent that I want to return to Bayswater Chinese.

But Yang Cheng declined.

Now there is no place for him in the team at all.

Besides, if he really needs a center, Yang Cheng would rather buy one outside.

At least it's cheap.

English players are really expensive.

Huddlestone is another local player who has received attention.

That world-class goal in the League Cup final was truly amazing.

He has a strong build and is excellent in frontal defense, especially his 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 agreed a deal for Joe Hart and were now approaching Huddlestone.

"When I see you now, I want to kill you."

Yang Cheng threatened the agent who had a kind smile on his face.

Jonathan Barnett certainly didn't believe it.

On the contrary, he felt that Yang Cheng might be very 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.

If he sold Huddlestone again, would he be able to find another one right away?
If this were to be possible, Jonathan Barnett would certainly have to re-evaluate Yang Cheng and the Bayswater Chinese.

"Go ahead." Yang Cheng's time is very 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 try to hide it, but asked in return, "Is there Chelsea?"

Jonathan Barnett was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately and cried out in his heart: It’s dark, so damn dark!
"Yes!" Barnett answered confidently.

No?

I leaked the news directly to the media. It's impossible for Chelsea to deny it, right?
deny?

That's a case of trying to cover up one's own mistake.

As agents, our main focus is flexibility!
"Now is the critical moment for our team to advance to the Premier League. We will not contact any team. Everything is based on the goal of advancement to the Premier League!"

Jonathan Barnett understood what Yang Cheng meant.

Yang Cheng was very satisfied with the cooperation of this big agent.

This is actually a form of cooperation.

As for Chelsea, is there anyone more suitable than the Blues to raise prices these days?

"Also, I want you to do something for me."

Jonathan Barnett has extraordinary connections in British football and is one of the best agents.

Yang Cheng felt that it would be most appropriate to entrust him with this matter.

First deal with the club, and if necessary, he will personally persuade the players.

As long as we get it, we won’t have to worry about the flanks 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 terms of sticking to the ball, and Yang Cheng will continue to criticize him.

Modric is also continuing to improve.

After selling Huddlestone, Yang Cheng wants to sign a world-class midfielder who can complement Las Diarra and Modric.

When the new season comes, Yang Cheng will let the Premier League feel the shock from the Chinese!
