Chapter 814: I'm talking about pounds!

"In your Glory Square, there are usually so many people?"
Sitting in the car of the Lagonda conqueror dedicated to the reception of the Southampton Club, Florentino is on the Royal Tanker Terminal, overlooking the Plaza of Glory on the opposite bank.
Although the league is over, and although there are no events or festivals today, and even now it’s only past three o’clock in the afternoon, the endless stream of pedestrians can already be seen on Glory Plaza.
On the Royal Cruise Terminal, in the huge bus stop area, buses come and go, and every stop will bring a lot of fans and guests, and judging from the bus stop sign, there is even Winches Intercity buses in surrounding cities such as London, Eastleigh and Portsmouth.
Just now, Florentino headed south from London and entered the urban area from the newly opened Municipal Avenue. You can see along the way that the entire old city reconstruction project in Southampton is already in full swing.
And now, he is undoubtedly very sure that Glory Square will be the busiest and busiest business district in Southampton after the transformation of the entire old city, and there is even a huge potential to be tapped here.
When visiting here with Florentino, the CEO of Southampton, Peter Kenyon, heard Lafayette’s question, smiled and nodded: "Yes, it’s usually like this. If it’s night, Or on match day, there will be more people."
Florentino nodded steadily. He was involved in construction and real estate, so of course he knew what it meant.
What Southampton really admired Florentino was Yang Huan's courage.
He even made up his mind to build this amazing artificial island and the dreamlike underwater hotel on the surface of the Solent Strait. These two projects alone were put into use. Huge sums of money.
But also because of the artificial island of the stadium and the underwater hotel, the surrounding vitality is driven.
With the backing of the Qatar consortium, which is not bad money, and the Grosvenor Group, which is well-known for both political and business in the UK, the transformation of the entire old city of Southampton is a natural thing.
But this feat, even Florentino, as a real estate crocodile, has to be admired and admired.
They are like being born on the entire south coast of England, using money to build a magnificent city!
This kind of thing is not new to the local tyrants in the Middle East. It is the case in Dubai and so is Doha. They have long been used to it.
Florentino also has a foreboding that after this round of craze, more investors and consortia will inevitably flow into the city.
For example, Florentino knows that baa, the largest airport operating company in the UK controlled by Spanish Railways, has already considered the renovation and expansion of Southampton Airport. Obviously, they are also aware of the city's potential.
It is completely foreseeable that within a few years, Southampton will become the most dazzling emerging city on the south coast of England.
Oh no, it should be considered a revival!
"Come on, let's go to St. Mary!" Peter Kenyon said with a smile.
Florentino also had no objection, so he nodded and agreed.
The driver turned the front of the car and headed straight for St. Mary's Stadium.
Near the Royal Cruise Terminal, Peter Kenyon also specifically introduced a building that had already been laid and the first floor was built. There will be the future administrative headquarters of Southampton. The House of Apprentices.
Due to the new season, Southampton’s home stadium will officially move to the Glory Stadium, so St Mary’s Stadium is basically no longer needed.
According to the original plan, St. Mary’s Stadium should be demolished. However, considering that the Southampton administrative office cannot be moved yet, the demolition project has not moved for the time being, but the surrounding area has already begun to be demolished. It's pretty big.
But in the eyes of real estate merchants like Florentino, the greater the movement, the brighter the future.
It also reminded him of Real Madrid's Bernabéu Stadium.
Had he never thought about turning the Bernabéu Stadium into a commercial ecosystem like Southampton?
It's just that Real Madrid's internal interests are intertwined and very complicated. Many things are not the only thing that he can do as the chairman. Therefore, sometimes he can only think about it and envy it.
"Come on, Florentino, please inside!"
After Peter Kenyon got off the car, he politely invited Florentino into the St. Mary's Stadium.
"Mr. Kenyon!" The lady at the front desk in the lobby stood up and said hello as soon as she saw them coming in.
"Well, is Young Master Huan here?" Peter Kenyon asked.
"I came ten minutes ago." The lady at the front desk replied.
Florentino felt a little unhappy in his heart.
To say that Master Huan, the score is also a little bigger, right?
When he arrived at the Bernabeu, he personally came out to welcome him, but when he came by himself, he was obviously there, but he avoided seeing people?
what is this?
But soon, he forgot to care about such trivial matters.
Peter Kenyon said, "You tell Master Huan that Mr. Perez is here."
"Oh, but Master Huan just said that if Mr. Perez arrives, let Mr. Kenyon entertain you first. He has something to do temporarily, so..."
"What's the matter?" Peter Kenyon asked.
"Man from Manchester United are here!"
Manchester United?
Florentino was also taken aback. Why did Manchester United come?
"Why did Manchester United come at this time? Didn't it make an appointment tomorrow morning?" Peter Kenyon frowned.
Obviously, this is also beyond his expectation.
"I don't know, it is Mr. Ed Woodward leading the team."
"Well, all right, I know!" Peter Kenyon waved his hand, motioning her to go back to work.
Immediately afterwards, the Premier League bald strong turned his head and smiled apologetically at Florentino, "Sorry, Florentino, let's sit inside first."
Florentino said nothing, but nodded and followed Peter Kenyon into the innermost conference room.
On the way, after passing a conference room outside, the sound inside can still be heard vaguely.
But the sound insulation effect is very good, and there is no way to know what is being discussed.
But Florentino's heart was somewhat heavy.
He knows better than anyone that Manchester United now urgently needs to strengthen signings, but now the top European stars are extremely scarce, even if Manchester United now has a large transfer budget in their hands, they just can't buy players.
After finally catching a James Rodriguez, Manchester United have not tried their best to pounce on it?
In fact, Florentino is now anxious that Di Maria refuses to become Modric's transfer spoiler, because in this way, Real Madrid can justifiably send the Argentines into the transfer market.
With the current Argentine's worth, more than 60 million euros would not be able to run. Even if it is a little bit of operation and a little skill when negotiating, it is possible to reach 70 million.
Because Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain must be crazy.
However, when Southampton decided to sell Modric, it made a condition that Real Madrid had to trade Di Maria, and Florentino was eager to buy Modric and agreed.
Thinking about it now, I still lost!
But what can be done?
In Florentino's view, it is Real Madrid who will lose the promise to keep the promise, but if you break the promise, it will lose his personal credibility.
It's just that James Rodriguez must be taken down anyway.
After hard work and hard work, the entire transfer market has been heated up. If at the end, at the critical moment, the biggest star is given the first place by other teams, then Real Madrid is not going to make a basket of water?
"Florentino, you sit down for a while, I'll go out, I'll be back soon!"
After Peter Kenyon led them into the conference room, he hurried out himself.
Florentino didn't care about it, but turned to look at the legal counsel who accompanied him and was in charge of the negotiation, who knew what to prepare.
Then, he took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Please check for me. In the next month, how much funds we can raise at most, including the loans promised to us by the two banks, hurry up and send me WeChat!"
After hanging up the phone, Florentino simply closed his eyes and concentrated on the matter.
To deal with such a blockbuster transfer, there are too many things and details to consider.
Although these are all handled by his subordinates, Florentino is big enough to deal with the overall situation alone.
This is also what makes him strange. Why is the owner of the club and the signing of the same club, why does Yang Huan seem to be so relaxed and freehand?
Could it be that he planned it early?
How is this possible?
How can he be so sure that James Rodriguez will be poached by so many teams after the World Cup?
Unless, he can tell the prophet!
But this kind of thing, Florentino thought it was funny, let alone believed it.
Sitting in the conference room and waiting, time flies quickly.
The staff of the club came in and served hot coffee, and Peter Kenyon never showed up again.
Until, the door in the meeting room was opened again, and Yang Huan's apologetic laughter came again.
"Excuse me, Florentino, I'm so sorry!"
Florentino stood up, and when he turned his head, his face was already smiling, "It's okay, I know you are busy with young masters!"
"Look, you are angry with me like this!" Yang Huan smiled and greeted him to sit down, "So, you don't go back tonight, stay in my hotel under the sea, eat, live, play, everything. I treat it as if it were me to apologize to you!"
Florentino chuckled and asked, "Can I refuse?"
"No!" Yang Huan replied very seriously.
"Haha, well, I can only promise you!" Florentino smiled and nodded.
Yang Huan walked to the opposite side with satisfaction, and sat down face to face with Florentino.
"Well, Florentino, now we can start!"
Florentino nodded, "Master Huan, I believe, you should be very clear about my purpose today?"
Yang Huan nodded in time.
Needless to say, it must have come for James Rodriguez.
"Master Huan, we are very sincere and hope to introduce James Rodríguez. For this, we are willing to pay Southampton this amount!" Florentino used his right index finger to make a one-to-one gesture.
"One hundred million?" Yang Huan shook his head with a smile, "Florentino, I feel your sincerity, but just now, Ed Woodward of Manchester United proposed to me about 100 million euros. Quotation ~EbookFREE.me~ but I still did not agree to him immediately."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Huan finished speaking, Florentino waved his hand: "No, no, Master Huan, they are Euros, and what I said... is British pounds!"
"One hundred million pounds?" Yang Huan was a little moved.
"Yes, and I promised to pay cash in one lump sum!" Florentino's face was cruel.
It can be seen that this sum of money is already quite high for him.
Yang Huan stood up with a smile almost without even thinking about it, and stretched out his hand, "Then... happy cooperation!"
People have already met your psychological price, what else to consider?
Of course he agreed directly!
No matter from which point of view, James Rodríguez can buy 100 million pounds, which is quite an ideal price, isn't it?
