Starting with saving Manchester United

Chapter 79 The Most Useless Reincarnated Person in History

The morning after playing Barcelona, ​​Yang Fan woke up to find that the prize money for reaching the semi-finals had already been deposited into his account.

As expected, the list has over 53 entries!

It really hurts to think about it.

He paid 47 in taxes all at once; no wonder those star athletes are scrambling to avoid taxes.

But Yang Fan is now facing some trouble in tax evasion.

He doesn't have an agent, so he has to do everything himself.

Besides, the British government is no pushover.

Just because people are turning a blind eye now doesn't mean they're unaware.

In a few years, when the economy is in a slump, they'll be stripped of all their veneer and the fines will be even more severe!

In particular, if you want to remit this money back to China, you must provide complete proof of income and proof of tax payment.

According to domestic tax standards, Yang Fan paid less tax in the UK and will have to make up the difference.

Of course, Yang Fan had a general understanding of the situation and knew that no supplementary payment was needed.

Therefore, he needs to declare it in advance so that his money can be legitimately returned to his private account in China.

Thinking about this, Yang Fan felt much more at ease.

This money isn't enough; Yang Fan needs to think of a way to earn some extra money.

Last night, after the match, Vidic and Ferdinand took the players out to celebrate.

The team had a day off in the morning.

Yang Fan remained as busy as ever.

At the appointed time, Zhang Han and the CCTV interview team arrived in Carrington.

Woodward and the public relations team arrived even earlier, and they even rearranged Yang Fan's head coach office.

Before the interview, we always have a brief discussion to discuss what questions to ask and how to answer them.

Manchester United's public relations department will also offer suggestions, such as where it is appropriate to mention Manchester United.

Squeezing in the gaps to kill GG, the same old trick!

Yang Fan cooperated actively because of the 53 English prize money.

-

Woodward grinned like a wealthy landowner.

The entire interview process went very smoothly.

At noon, Yang Fan and Woodward invited Zhang Han and the interview team to have lunch at the club restaurant.

Especially that famous champion meal.

With Yang Fan's success as manager of Manchester United, the reputation of this championship meal is growing louder and louder.

Why?

It was most popular when Ferguson was in charge, and it always brought in championships.

When Ferguson retired and Moyes came, he cancelled it, and as a result, championships and victories began to elude Manchester United.

Now that Moyes has stepped down and Yang Fan has taken over, the championship feast has been restored, and miraculously, Manchester United has been resurrected.

Isn't that amazing?

English football can be really superstitious at times.

The media is also happy to make these sideline news stories as magical and fantastical as possible to attract the attention of fans.

By lunchtime, the players had gradually returned to the team.

The interview team was also allowed to interview the players.

Almost everyone gave Yang Fan extremely high praise.

Even Giggs received a friendly "reminder" from Woodward beforehand, so he didn't say anything bad about Yang Fan on CCTV, but instead gave him a "sincere" compliment.

The afternoon training session focused on recovery, and the interview team was allowed to follow and film the entire session.

At the end of training, Yang Fan announced that the team would have two days off on the 11th and 12th.

This news was no secret.

But Yang Fan made the request very seriously.

"During the holiday, everyone must strictly adhere to the schedule. Don't let me find out that you're still out and about in the early hours of the morning, okay?"

"Got it!"

The players dispersed in a flurry, all in high spirits.

Manchester United gave the team two days off because their next match after the game on the 9th was on the 20th.

There were a full 11 days in between.

The training session on the 10th was for recovery and adjustment, and it was very necessary.

The 11th and 12th are holidays, and preparations for the Champions League semi-finals will begin on the 13th.

There is still plenty of time.

Manchester United have been playing two matches a week for a period of time, which has put a lot of pressure on the players.

Now that we have more time, we should definitely let the players rest and recover.

As for morale—

The team's performance has improved significantly, especially after reaching the semifinals. At this point, Yang Fan is not worried about the players' fighting spirit.

At the very least, the green lights above everyone's heads don't lie.

After seeing off the players, Yang Fan and Zhang Han also saw off the CCTV interview team.

Zhang Han helped a lot with this CCTV interview, and since they were both from the same hometown in Nan Province, they naturally became familiar with each other.

The CCTV interview team is heading south to London to catch a flight back to China.

But she will be in Liverpool on Sunday to film the key match of the 34th round of the Premier League, Liverpool hosting Manchester City.

This is the Premier League title race this season!

It wasn't very convenient to go back and forth, so Yang Fan suggested that she simply stay.

They don't need to spend money to stay in hotels; they can just stay in their own rented apartments.

"I've been staying in Carrington lately. The manager's suite is five-star hotel quality, much better than my apartment."

Speaking of which, Yang Fan's rented apartment has been vacant for more than half a month.

Manchester United's sponsor, Chevrolet, sent many cars to Carrington, but no one has used them.

Yang Fan drove off in any car and took Zhang Han to an apartment near Carrington.

Zhang Han originally thought that the boy's place would be quite messy, and was even planning to help Yang Fan tidy up.

To my surprise, when I entered, apart from being uninhabited for more than half a month and having a little dust, it was quite tidy.

"This place is fine." Zhang Han wasn't too picky.

"Yes, the security is pretty good. There's a police station right across the street, and a supermarket a little further south. Transportation is also convenient."

Yang Fan searched around the apartment until he found the phone number of the water, electricity, and gas supplier. He called to inquire about their nearest service location, and then, accompanied by Zhang Han, went to print out the bills for the past six months.

Incidentally, in the UK, utilities such as water, electricity, and gas are usually transferred to the tenant for payment when renting a house.

"What do you need the utility bills for?"

Zhang Han temporarily acted as the driver, while Yang Fan checked the bill from the passenger seat, only feeling relieved after confirming that everything was correct.

"I'm getting ready to earn some extra money."

"Extra income?"

"Yes, in capitalist countries, it's incredibly difficult to succeed without money."

Back in his apartment, Yang Fan took out a copy of his personal identification document that he had prepared in advance, logged onto the IGInode website on his laptop, and started registering a new user.

"What website is this?"

As Yang Fan was busy operating and typing, a faint fragrance wafted from the side. Turning his head, he found Zhang Han intently staring at the laptop screen, completely unaware that he was sitting rather close to her.

"A UK brokerage firm regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which is a safe and legal spread trading platform."

"You want to invest in stocks?" Zhang Han asked, somewhat surprised.

"More or less."

Yang Fan didn't offer much explanation.

"Nothing to be surprised about. You haven't forgotten that I graduated with a degree in economics."

Zhang Han then suddenly realized what was going on.

Besides earning some extra money, Yang Fan's most important task was to familiarize himself with the business processes.

In his previous life, he had also invested heavily in the capital market and made some money.

But haven't we been reborn now?

You definitely need to practice first the first time.

He chose gold futures.

Yang Fan registered a new account on the Instagram platform, submitted his mobile phone number, identity certificate and proof of address, and also linked his Barclays Bank account, which is Manchester United's salary payment account, currently holding £60.

This platform has a strict review mechanism; after registration, you must submit your application to the backend for manual review.

In the section for injected funds, Yang Fan filled in £60.

"60 pounds? You've invested your entire fortune?" Zhang Han was very surprised.

Yang Fan nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm very reliable."

steady?

Zhang Han's eyes showed disbelief.

This doesn't look stable at all.

"You want to trade gold futures?"

"Yes, right now with the conflict between the two bears, isn't everyone calling for war?"

When war breaks out, gold, as a safe haven, will definitely rise in price.

"Everyone said they wanted to fight, but they didn't. Look at the Krasnoyarsk incident in March, how much it was talked about, but in the end it was quietly dropped."

"Zhang Han is clearly paying attention to current events."

That is indeed the truth.

黄金作为避险的黄金，从13年12月到3月，每盘司1195美元涨到了1395美元，甚至差点就破了1400美元大关。

Surprisingly, after the Croat Island incident in March, gold prices have been steadily declining and are now hovering around $1310.

"Gold futures are too unpredictable and risky. I suggest you be careful," Zhang Han advised.

"Don't worry, I'm just registering an account to take a look."

Yang Fan smiled and nodded in agreement.

Although he is a time traveler, he is not a god and has no way to accurately control the gold price trend.

He even doubted how the male protagonists in those rebirth novels from his previous life could remember lottery numbers, stock dates, and points so accurately.

I must be the most useless reborn person in history!

Fortunately, he remembered one message.

The massacre at the union building on May 2nd!

According to his vague memories from his previous life, although this tragedy did not directly trigger a war, it caused a surge in gold prices within a few days.

The increase wasn't much, but it was just right for him to practice and earn some extra money on the side.

"If you want to trade gold futures, why did you register on the IG platform?" Zhang Han asked curiously.

Yang Fan nodded, "Because the profits from spread trading are exempt from capital gains tax and stamp duty."

Futures trading is subject to taxation, but spread trading is not.

Yang Fan had also traded stocks and futures in his previous life, but he always sought stability and did not act rashly.

And I will never be greedy.

Just like this time.

He plans to wait for a suitable low point to enter the market, such as the recent low of around $1270, and after the union building incident, let it ferment for another two days, make money, and then quickly leave the market without lingering.

Because he knew very well that in the capital market, greedy people who chase highs and sell lows will suffer a terrible fate!

Moreover, this time he mainly focused on familiarizing himself with the techniques and practicing.

The next big deal is yet to come!

If he does well, he'll make his first fortune.

Zhang Han watched Yang Fan operate the equipment skillfully, which didn't seem like that of a novice at all, and this made her very curious.

He's clearly registering a new account, but why does he seem so familiar with the Instagram platform?

Also, £60, more than 6 million RMB, how come he talks about it like it's just over 60 RMB?

You know what, it's true.

Yang Fan had handled a great deal of accounts and funds in his previous life, so 6 million was not a big shock to him.

That is, a slightly longer string of numbers.

Yang Fan had two days off in the following two days.

During this time, Yang Fan received a phone call from Simon, a business broker on the IG platform, mainly because he had transferred in £60, which had attracted their attention.

Yang Fan revealed his identity but asked the other party to keep it confidential.

He also recounted to Zhang Han the whole story he had used to persuade her.

"Mr. Yang, the market generally believes that gold will continue to fluctuate, or even decline gradually," the business broker politely reminded him.

"I know, I'll observe for a few more days and see."

The business brokers didn't say much either.

He encounters many newbies like Yang Fan every day.

Some people study candlestick charts, making it all mysterious, pontificating on theories, and even citing various news articles to support their claims.

In the end, most of these people left with empty pockets.

Mr. Yang, your record as manager of Manchester United is not bad, but as for futures trading—

hey-hey----

The broker on the other end of the phone seemed to already picture Yang Fan dejectedly losing a large sum of money, cursing and blocking him.

Yang Fan didn't offer any further explanation.

After finishing his own business, he threw himself back into his work at Manchester United.

Especially in the Champions League semi-final draw on the 11th, Manchester United drew Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid played out the Madrid derby.

Manchester United have drawn the favorites in two consecutive knockout rounds; their luck is truly unmatched.

In the early hours of the 13th, Yang Fan, who was sound asleep, was woken up by a sudden phone call.
