Jing Jian lit a cigarette and listened to Hofkin with a smile. "Portsmouth's old town is already too crowded, and a new town to the north is being built, including plans for a new stadium. ”

The words were very subtle, but Jing Jianjian understood it with heart. After thinking about it, Jing Jian asked, "If you take the liberty of it, is AGC ready to carry out urban development?"

Hofkin smiled and nodded: "Our business includes construction and real estate. ”

Jing Jianxuan understands that the world's real estate is this set. Replacing the land, developing a new city, and in the name of the club's new stadium, telling the public media "for the cause of sports and culture"?

Those big real estate businessmen in Hong Kong learned from England, and those in the mainland studied from Hong Kong, which is completely in the same vein, and Jing Jian in his previous life vomited when he heard it.

But at this time, ten thousand words are better than silence, and after eating a bite of dessert, Jing Jian smiled silently.

After waiting for a while, Hoffman finally made a condition: "Many of our friends from the banks are interested in this project, and they are willing to provide financing of up to 50 million pounds. ”

For others, this condition may be good, but for Jing Jian, this is not even a small sweetness. Believe it or not, Jing Jian roared on Wall Street, and he could easily raise so much money!

Jing Jian smiled: "It's a long way from convincing me." ”

Hofkin was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a while, and then added conditions: "In the planning, try to strive for ancillary facilities for the stadium." The location of the stadium is very convenient. ”

This condition can be regarded as a little sincere. Jing Jian and Hofkin both understand that it is impossible not to pay for the land for the stadium, but there must be discounts. If the ancillary facilities occupy a large area, of course, it can be a lot more cost-effective.

But Jing Jian still smiled: "There is still a gap, in fact, there is no hurry, you can learn about what I am interested in, I hope it can satisfy me by then." ”

It is normal for such negotiations to drag on for a year and a half. Jing Jian is not in a hurry, and he is not in a hurry to build a new stadium. So call a timeout, let Hofkin and the others go back and prepare, and think about what more chips they can give? Even if they can't negotiate in the end, it's nothing. I won't hang myself from a tree, and I can talk to someone else.

However, unexpectedly, Jing Jian's words shocked Hofkin and them, and they glanced at each other, and Hoffman immediately said, "Wait, Bramble." Are you interested in a stake in Daobao? They are the third largest cinema chain in the UK. 23.5%, the largest shareholder, trading on the market price?"

"Oh?" Jing Jianjian laughed out loud. I can't wait like this, don't you tell yourself that I can cut it? Jing Jian smiled and asked, "Why?"

Hoffman's expression had become embarrassed, and he knew he was in too much of a hurry. I didn't expect Jing Jian to be so keen, and he immediately discovered his weakness.

"Haha. Jing Jian smiled even more happily, "Actually, you have a secret, I don't have to know." But this secret allows you to add something, something of sufficient weight. Sorry, forgive my jokes. Actually, I'm not greedy, that's all. If there is no problem, happy cooperation!" Jing Jian raised his glass.

"Huh?" the Hoffmans froze. I didn't expect such a dramatic turn. finally reacted, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Bramble...... Cheers! Happy cooperation!"

Actually, Hofkin: They do have a cat. To put it simply, it is a problem of the coup d'état system in Britain. The city of Portsmouth is about to become an independent city and will have its own city council, which will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the county, so the change is a good opportunity for all parties to ...... Anyway, make money in the chaos. So Hofkin and they were afraid of delaying the time, and they were afraid of delaying the formation of the city council in Portsmouth.

Of course, Jing Jian is not interested in those bad things, what he cares about is his new stadium. Since Hovkin has already given a lot, then take it when you see it. It is true that you can ask for more, so why bother? For the sake of some trivial things, you will offend a large number of local snakes? Blocking people's money? That is really a brain in water.

......

After a pleasant lunch, Jing Jian came to the club. The noon talks are only preliminary contacts, and their respective negotiation teams will be dispatched to discuss detailed contracts in the future. And now the main thing is to take over the club as soon as possible.

After the relegation, of course, the players went on vacation, each with their own thoughts and things, and people were panicking anyway. Of course, the head coach has resigned, and the coaching staff is left with only a goalkeeper coach and a team doctor, and there are few left.

And the reason why Jing Jian went to the club today was to meet the manager Pixar. This manager was introduced by the former boss, and he couldn't just fire the squid, he had to talk about it, which was considered to give face to the former boss.

Of course, whether to keep this Pixar or not, Jing Jian himself doesn't matter. He doesn't have anyone who understands team management, let alone anyone who is familiar with English football, so if there is really no one, he can use it temporarily.

When Jing Jian saw this Pixar, he simply asked him about his work experience. It's not complicated, it's an old friend of the club's former owner, and of course a big fan of the Portsmouth team. And he has been working in the club, gradually rising from small clerk to manager. The advantage is loyalty, and the disadvantage is that you are only loyal to the club.

Well, there are only about forty staff members in the club, and to be honest, I can't judge what they are capable of. Not to mention anything excellent. Therefore, Jing Jianjian has a label: diligent mediocrity!

Jing Jian is not afraid that there are mediocre talents under him, just be obedient, isn't there a mediocre talent who manages the White Lotus very well? So after talking, Jing Jian scored Pixar 70 points, which is considered to be in the upper middle, and it can barely be used.

So Jing Jian asked: "Pixar, use all your imagination, if we have to upgrade next year, what do we need to do?"

Pixar was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Sir, we need good coaches, and we need to keep the main players as much as possible." ”

Jing Jian was not satisfied with such an answer: "I repeat, you need your imagination, try to think boldly." ”

"That'...... Bring in quality players?" Pixar asked cautiously.

Jing Jian smiled: "Good coach, recruitment, this is the most basic." I'm not buying the team on a whim, I'm going to make him a top team!"

"Top team?" Pixar said with a look of disbelief, "Sir, ......what do you mean?"

Jing Jian felt that Pixar's underdog mentality was too serious, and he needed to be given a little stimulation: "In the direction of rebuilding the team, how should the champion team of the First Division be formed?"

"The champion of the First Division?" Pixar visibly gasped. Stunned, he realized that he had heard correctly, and he immediately became eager to try, his eyes lit up, "Sir, are you telling the truth?"
