Although he lost, the boss from Birmingham still sent someone to invite Zeng Cheng, saying that he wanted to meet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zeng Cheng knew the purpose of the other party's meeting with him, that is, he hoped to loan a few players from Manchester United before the transfer window closed. Birmingham are promoted and have limited strength, and their owner Yang Jiacheng has just bought a stake in the team at a large price, and now there is little money to supplement the team's strength.

However, if the strength of the team is not replenished, then Birmingham's relegation task this season will be very difficult, as can be seen from this game, with Birmingham's current results, there is no way to play with the Premier League powerhouses. Continuing like this, the team will end up with no choice but to be relegated at the end of the season.

Yang Jiacheng is ambitious, and naturally he doesn't want the team he bought at a lot of money to have a season trip to the Premier League, and then go to play in the Championship next year.

It is difficult to buy players directly from the transfer market, especially if you want to get good players.

However, it is difficult to transfer and acquire players, and there is another way to get players, and that is on loan. Especially for a super giant like Manchester United, in their team, some players who can't play the main team or even the game are actually quite good, enough to become the main force or even the core of a small team like Birmingham.

Especially now Manchester United, the squad seems a little bloated, and the number of first-team players is as high as 36. Even if Manchester United have to play in the league, Champions League, League Cup and FA Cup in the new season, this squad is still a bit redundant, and it is imperative to purge some personnel.

Of course, according to Zeng Cheng's plan, it is necessary to directly sell some of the strength that is not good, and at the same time loan some potential young players to let them play more games and get exercise.

Therefore, cooperating with Birmingham is actually beneficial to both sides, so Zeng Cheng also accepted the invitation of the Xiangjiang compatriot.

The official meeting between the two parties took place in a rather stylish hotel in Manchester.

Yang Jiacheng opened his arms as soon as he saw Zeng Cheng, and Zeng Cheng also hugged him, and these superficial efforts still had to be done. He didn't have any impression of this Yang Jiacheng, he only remembered that he was a businessman from Xiangjiang, and naturally he couldn't be the world's top like Li Chaoren, but his strength was okay, and the industry was mainly concentrated in the real estate market and gambling market, with a net worth of about several hundred million pounds, converted into soft sister coins, which was also billions.

This guy is said to be a huge fan, who once served as the chairman of a local football team in Hong Kong, and he has a long-standing interest in English football, before buying Birmingham, he offered £120 million to buy Reading in the Championship at the time; In March of the same year, he offered Wigan Athletic another £50 million; In April 2006, he made another £30 million offer for Sheffield Wednesday, but all three failed acquisitions.

In June 2007, he finally managed to acquire a 29.9% stake in Birmingham, becoming the largest single shareholder. And just three days earlier, on August 13, he made another move, taking another roughly 46% stake in Birmingham, owning more than 75% of the team in one fell swoop, and privatizing the team.

After the two met, Yang Jiacheng invited him to sit with him again on a large sofa in the center of the hall, which was conducive to harmonious communication between the two sides, both parties were Chinese, and even the translation was saved.

Before the negotiation began, Yang Jiacheng took out the cigarette case and handed another good Cuban cigar, although Zeng Cheng usually did not smoke, but now he was disrespectful, he had to swallow the clouds with this shy guy.

Yang Jiacheng praised Manchester United's achievements last year and congratulated Manchester United on achieving better results in the new season.

In fact, when it comes to negotiations, Manchester United CEO David Gill has communicated with them on behalf of Zeng Cheng before, and the two sides have reached a consensus in many aspects, but when it comes to the core price issue, the two sides have some differences, so in the hall, David Gill and Yang Jiacheng's representatives are-for-tat, while Zeng Cheng and Yang Jiacheng, the two bosses, are watching with a smile.

After some bargaining, Zeng Cheng saw that Yang Jiacheng's negotiator refused to increase the price, and then he nodded to David Gill, who immediately stopped.

Zeng Cheng turned his head to Yang Jiacheng and said, "Mr. Yang, thank you for this invitation, I think the negotiations between us, don't worry, let's continue tomorrow." ”

After all, Yang Jiacheng is a figure who has been immersed in the mall for a long time, and he also knows that the negotiations between the two sides have reached an impasse temporarily, Zeng Cheng proposed to slow down, which is also a normal thing, although he is a little anxious, but he also understands that the bargaining between the two sides today, the key issue is the price.

The current situation in Birmingham is not good, although it is still half a month before the final closure of the transfer market, but the so-called long nights are too much, it is better to finalize the contract as soon as possible. After all, as a team that has achieved almost unprecedented results in football history over the past two years, Manchester United's players are the sweethearts of the transfer market, not to mention teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League like Birmingham, some of the Premier League giants, and even the top European giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

There is no way, now Zeng Cheng doesn't want to talk about it, Yang Jiacheng has no choice but to make a haha, and then ask Zeng Cheng to go back to the room to rest. Before parting, he invited Zeng Cheng to go to the nightclub he opened tonight, Zeng Cheng did not refuse, and agreed with a smile.

David Gill briefly bumped into Zeng Cheng in the hotel room, and Zeng Cheng praised his negotiation skills. In recent years, as capital has entered the British football market, the value of Premier League players has risen rapidly, and even led to the rapid rise of the value of players in Europe and even the world. Coupled with Manchester United's near-invincible performance in the past two years, its players are definitely the darlings of the transfer market and are sought after by all parties.

In any case, Zeng Cheng, who has mastered the player, has the initiative, and he feels that there is no need to rush the negotiation with Yang Jiacheng, and he can take his time.

However, Yang Jiacheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and when he saw that the hard one was not good, he decided to come to the soft one. After the dinner in the evening, Yang Jiacheng took Zeng Cheng and his party to a nightclub he opened in Manchester.

This is magnificent, it is simply a gold cave in the world. On the stage is a fragrant striptease performance, several **** are doing exaggerated movements, they have slowly taken off their clothes one by one with the music, causing the crowd below to whistle and cheer, which is a microcosm of Western free life.

Zeng Cheng knew what kind of virtue such an occasion was, so when he came, he didn't bring Bai Bing, Bai Xue and a few bodyguards, but only David Gill and other Manchester United staff.

Coming to the box, Yang Jiacheng clapped his palms, and soon a group of blonde and blue-eyed foreign girls came in, all of them were tall and scantily dressed, two of the most beautiful of them were sent to accompany Zeng Cheng, and David Jill also spread two, plus the bodyguards he brought over, they were also one by one, and the cool guys were up and down, it seemed that it was good to follow the boss.

Anyway, it was a scene to play, Zeng Cheng was not polite, he hugged and hugged the two of them, it can be said that he was left and right, and he had a lot of fun, since it was Yang Jiacheng who accompanied him, of course he couldn't waste a piece of his "kindness".

"Mr. Zeng, I don't know what hobbies you usually have?" asked Yang Jiacheng on the side.

"Me?" Zeng Cheng smiled as he kneading and kneading the blonde girl next to him, "My biggest hobby...... Hehe, it's like this, hehe......"

He knew that Yang Jiacheng was testing himself, so his answer was also leaky, the two of them were not familiar with each other, and they also had a process of getting to know each other, to be honest, he didn't trust this Xiangjiang man very much, this guy was too cunning.

Yang Jiacheng saw that Zeng Cheng's answer was ambiguous, and he didn't think it was angry, and echoed and said: "Yes, of course women can't be missing......

Everyone sat for a while, Zeng Cheng felt that Yang Jiacheng's addiction to smoking was too great, and after entering the box, he kept smoking three cigars, and Zeng Cheng also smoked one with him at first, but he couldn't stand it anymore.

In the back, he excused himself to go to the bathroom to get some air, there were two David Gill bodyguards who were going to go out with him, Zeng Cheng waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to.

Zeng Cheng didn't even let Bai Bing and Bai Xue, two elite bodyguards from the South China Sea, follow them, let alone the ghosts that David Gill was looking for.

It's not that Zeng Cheng is arrogant, but he does have this strength. As a person who had cultivated Qi Alchemy to the late tenth layer, Zeng Cheng was confident that in terms of personal strength, he was definitely standing at the peak of this planet. If something really happens, it would be a burden for him to bring bodyguards by his side, and maybe he would need to protect them.

When Zeng Cheng finished comfortably solving it in the bathroom, the conversation between the two ghosts who came in outside caught his attention.

"Hi...... I'm going to go to that Chinese chick later, you know, Frank?" said a hoarse voice.

"Why did you go first, Roy, I remember the French chick last time, and you played first...... No, it's my turn to say anything this time. Another voice said.

"Hehe, don't worry, wait a minute, give her the medicine first, and when the medicine comes in, how can we play, right, Frank?" the hoarse voice in front of him continued.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, that Chinese chick is pretty punctual, but I can't let her run away. Hey, hey, hey......" Another voice laughed, and the two of them quickly went out.
