Soriano still couldn't believe it, he never thought that the young man he had just talked and laughed with was actually the president of a professional club in England, which was too probable.

However, he had really heard of this club in Notts County, thanks to the name of the oldest professional club in England in Notts County, although he didn't necessarily know much, but at least he had heard the name.

"Are you really the president of Notts County?" Soriano asked incredulously.

David shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "It's like a fake!" ”

Soriano was amazed, as if he was sighing something, but he suddenly remembered that the young chairman had just invited him to become CEO of Notts County, right?

Somewhat confused by David's meaning, Soriano frowned and asked, "You're going to invite me to be the CEO of Notts County?" Why? ”

"It's very simple, there is no CEO in Notts County now, and I am tired of doing most of the work on my shoulders. We've been talking for a long time, and I think you're a perfect fit, and I want to leave the commercial development of the team and the day-to-day work of the club to you. David said sincerely.

"Are you sure you're not kidding?" Soriano still felt a little childish.

David shook his head and said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, we can sign a contract when we get to the United States, and then you can take office!" ”

This time Soriano was really a little overwhelmed, although he was very excited, but many decisions are not decided just because he was moved, it is related to his future.

Although the job in the airline is good and the future is very promising, this is not the life that Soriano wants, he loves football, he loves football, and if he can work in football-related industries, then he should be able to achieve more than half of his life dreams.

The cautious Soriano asked David a lot of questions over the ensuing period, and David answered them all, including the current state of the club, his plans for the future of the club, and his ultimate vision.

It has to be said that David's plan for the club is very appealing, and it is difficult for Soriano to say no to Notts County.

However, Soriano, who came from a financial background, decided to give it a look and discuss it with his family when he returned to Spain, so that perhaps they could give him better advice.

David was not in a hurry, he knew that the choice was sometimes very difficult, as long as he could make Soriano tempt and not refuse on the spot, then he would be successful today.

The plane landed, Soriano and David, who were on a business trip, said goodbye, and the two exchanged contact information.

David felt he should have said sorry to Laporta, as he may well have stolen the future president of Barça.

Well, I'd like to say sorry to Manchester City, your future president is gone.

David, who is in a good mood, puts things aside and puts all his energy into the US stock market, which will be his biggest asset in English football, and must not be messed up.

Fortunately, history has not taken an unknown turn.

911 happened as scheduled, then after the U.S. stock market opened, it was definitely all the way down, and no one could stop it.

On September 17, the first day after the 911 attacks, the Dow Jones fell 684.81 points, or 7.1%, and at the end of the week, the Dow Jones fell a total of 1,369.70 points, or 14.3% overall.

David relied on a large amount of principal and ultra-high leverage, and a week later, when his operations were all settled, he was already holding close to £1 billion in banknotes.

Money, money, I don't even know how to spend it!

This is a true portrayal of David's mentality at this time.

In fact, he has always thought that he is a person who is easily satisfied, if he just lives by himself, maybe there is no difference between 1 million and 10 billion for him, because as long as it is enough for him to live, the rest is just a number.

The previous planning is really on the agenda, except for the academy that has already begun to be built, and now the construction of the team's new stadium and the club's new training base can be officially started at one time, hoping to catch up with the new Premier League season in Notts County in two years.

If you have money, you won't have to pick and search, just do it in one step.

His mind involuntarily shifted back to his previous life.

In the past, the world's most famous training bases were Clay Fontaine in France, Las Los Los in Spain, etc., but the most famous is St. George's Park in England, which cost as much as 150 million pounds.

11 outdoor courts, 5 of which are lit and underground, plus a fully equipped indoor artificial turf field for all-day training. In the players' locker room, there are state-of-the-art touchscreen TVs and ice bath facilities; At the same time, there is a replica of a training ground about the size of Wembley Stadium.

The football training base also includes a five-star hotel that serves as a venue for pre-match press conferences and reception of journalists; The top floor of the five-star hotel is reserved for the England national team, ensuring the privacy of the team's pre-match training.

St. George's Park is home to top-of-the-line training facilities and top-notch medical resources. Here, the medical recovery center is comparable to a large hospital and can even handle surgical procedures; Five large indoor stadiums are equipped with NASA technology, the most famous of which is the "altitude room", which means players can train "on the plateau" without leaving their mouths.

David really wanted to build a training base according to the standards of St George's Park, but for a club, it was a bit of a bad fit, and it was not a question of more money and less money, but a waste of resources.

If it's just the first team and the reserve team at the training base, then this training base is probably similar to a ghost town, you know, St George's Park is more than enough for five or six clubs to train together.

After thinking about it for a long time, David still decided to give up this kind of nouveau riche nouveau riche practice, and plan the training base according to the actual situation in Notts County, after all, the training base is to be used, but to be admired by the world.

Training facilities and medical resources must not be sloppy, but the size of the building should be reduced accordingly to be able to sustain the first team and reserves, and to allow enough room for maneuver.

In this way, it may not cost 80 million pounds to build a training base in Notts County.

Come on, Soriano, David is extremely tired of the specific operation of these things, in his opinion, it is not as interesting as watching the team's training on the training ground at that time.
