Chapter 217: The Five-Pound Football Club

Kangning didn't know Huang Xing's layout in the Ninety-Six Space. After www.biquge.info reincarnating him in the soil, Corning only inquired about his layout in the 17th century. Because he felt that was what he was all about. Four hundred years of time and space may not be enough to resist aliens, and in just a few decades, it will definitely not be enough. The most important thing is that Corning only knows the secrets of the next twenty years in the ninety-six plane. In the next few decades, it will depend on the talent at hand.

Therefore, he is not very clear about the ninety-six time and space, he only knows that Boss Huang has two foreign trade companies here, and that was the last time he came to the ninety-six time and space, Boss Huang told him. Speaking of which, his attitude towards this time and space is like Boss Huang's attitude towards the seventeenth century, which is only used as an accelerator for the development of a fundamental base.

Against this backdrop, Corning narrowly missed David Beckham, who would later become a heartthrob.

Why do you say "nearly"? If he had not been indifferent, he would not have known what was happening in England at this time.

That's because he made a phone call.

"Hey, boss." A few hours later, Huang Xing and J.K. Rowling were at the training ground of Leyton Oriental Club, where they met David Beckham, who is still playing there on loan.

The trio were looking for a place to rub together and celebrate the successful publication of Harry Potter. It was at this time that Corning's transatlantic call came.

"Lao Huang." Since the reincarnation of the filthy soil, Kangning's name for Boss Huang has changed, "We discussed it here, and we think that the most urgently needed books are the history of science and technology development. I know you may not agree with me, but we still have to go through the scientific process all over again, so that the scientific and technological foundation can be consolidated, which is extremely important for the society of the seventeenth century. ”

Huang Xing disagreed with this matter. He was even more in favor of moving things from the 21st century to the 17th century. In this way, more than 300 years of time can be directly saved. Wasn't Corning's task to use its familiarity with history to avoid detours in the process of technological development?

In fact, in his opinion, using the seventeenth century as a colony and accelerating the development of the twenty-first century may be able to defeat the alien invasion directly in a few decades. Of course, his idea was too radical for Corning, who was on the safe side.

Moreover, Kang Ning had fully expressed that he was familiar with Huang Xing's ideas on the phone, which made Huang Xing feel a sense of recognition in his heart, which made him embarrassed to continue to emphasize his previous views on this matter.

So he said, "I know the boss." What we need most is a book on the history of technology. However, I was directly prepared to ask for books from publishers such as the Penguin Group in the name of opening a bookstore. It's easier for us. ”

Corning agrees.

At this time, J.K. Rowling, who was sitting on the side, asked in surprise, "How can anyone ask for a secretary like the history of technology?" As far as I know, this is a very unpopular subject. ”

"It's our boss Corning, and he's interested in that. There are a lot of such scholars under his command? ”

"Really?" J.K. Rowling said curiously, "I'd like to go over and see it." ”

At this time, Corning, who was on the other end of the phone, also heard J.K. Rowling's voice, so he asked, "Lao Huang, where are you now?" Is it with Ms. Rowling? ”

"Yes boss, we're with a player called David Beckham now. I forgot to tell you that I bought a club in England called Leiden Orient. The Mr. Beckham is playing for Leyton East. ”

Huang Xing didn't know that Corning's brain had already short-circuited when he heard Beckham's name. As for his words after that, it seemed that he was blocked out of his ears and waited in line for a long time before he got a ticket and rushed into Corning's auditory center.

"What did you say?" Corning's surprised voice came, "You have a football club?" How did I not know, and what you said about David Beckham, wasn't he supposed to play for Manchester United? ”

"I knew you weren't too interested in my layout, so I didn't tell you."

"That's right." Corning wiped his sweat and saw what he had almost missed, "Then I'm interested now, you can tell me." ”

Huang stepped aside, leaving the two Englishmen guessing what he was talking about, as he had switched to Chinese.

"I started by auctioning antiques. You can guess that. The auction industry in China is not yet sound, and besides, some sensitive things are not easy to sell, so I came to the UK. We recently acquired antiques from the Japanese Kingdom, and many of them are sold here. came a lot, and naturally I met some people unintentionally, and I knew some business opportunities that I didn't know if they were pits. Last year, Leiden East's chairman, Tony Wood, was on the verge of bankruptcy, apparently due to a civil war cut due to her termination in Rwanda. The club lost its source of funding and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Tony Wood was only prepared to transfer it for a price of five pounds. British TV 4 also produced a documentary specifically for this purpose, called Leiden East, a five-pound club. When I found out about this, I auctioned off a few antiques more smoothly and decided to buy them. ”

Corning has a rough impression of this, after all, this is also a strange story in the history of football. However, in the course of history, the team was bought by a man named Barry Hearn. It seems that the light gate used to cross has changed the fate of Huang Xing, and it has also changed the fate of this club.

Moreover, Corning vaguely remembers that the club was only a League Two team, and even after the acquisition was completed, the team was unfortunately relegated to the lower level of the third division. I don't know if Huang Xing has successfully improved the team's performance after the acquisition.

However, there was no rush to ask about this matter, because there were more important things for him to ask.

"That Mr. Beckham is going to be the best player in the world, how did you sign him?"

Huang Xing replied: "I told the boss. He's on loan from Manchester United, not a player from my club. The situation at the time was that United were preparing to send David Beckham to Breston on loan for three months. That's also a third-division team. My club's scouts told me that he was a player with a lot of potential, so I paid seven times as much to cut him off and extend his loan to two years. He is returning to Old Trafford this summer. I heard that Ferguson over there was already crazy. This player seems to be important for his league. ”

"Do we have any hope of buying him?"

"My scouts said that with his quality, it is not possible to stay in the fourth division, even though we are almost certain that we can be promoted."

Corning was speechless, but it quickly occurred to him that there would be many more high-profile players at this year's European Championships and in the World Series in the years to come. And the current scouting system is not perfect, and he still has a lot of opportunities to hoard talent.

After a general recollection, Corning immediately said, "I'll give you a few names and let your players go to the Czech Republic, Norway, Ireland and Georgia, in short, make sure to get them." ”
