Chapter 714: Nothing else, a lot of money
Running for Cabinet?
Could it be that this guy is going to make a comeback?
Thinking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, this guy is a little interesting!
Boris Johnson didn't know what Master Huan was thinking, as soon as he arrived at the opening ceremony of the new stadium in Southampton, he and Yang Huan immediately became the focus of attention of everyone in the audience, murdering countless reporters Film.
Yang Huan intends to let Boris Johnson be in the limelight, so he keeps a low profile, more like a foil.
And this very shameless guy actually swore that he was a Southampton fan, thinking that Southampton had no problem winning the Premier League this season, and even had the hope of winning the Champions League.
"Winning the Champions League?" The reporters below are all fried.
"Wouldn't it? How is that possible? ”
"yes, it's the Champions League, it's impossible!"
But Boris Johnson seemed very sure in the face of reporters' doubts, and asked, "Who said it can't be?" Wasn't that the case at Nottingham Forest? Don't you think Southampton is a lot like Nottingham Forest today? ”
When Boris Johnson said this, everyone was really a little convinced, or at least speechless.
If you want to say like, it's a bit like it, and even more legendary.
Nottingham Forest was relegated to the second tier of English League Double, and after inviting Clough, a lot of powerful players were introduced, and as a result, Nottingham Forest won the League One championship in the first season of promotion from League Two to League One, and in the second season, represented League One in the European Champions Cup and won the championship.
Even more terrifying, Nottingham Forest successfully defended their European Cup title the following year.
So far, Nottingham Forest have won a top-flight title, two European Champions Cups, and a UEFA Super Cup, all of which have been won in those two seasons, which is legendary.
Southampton, on the other hand, has won the championship every year since the third tier of England, has been promoted continuously and entered the Premier League.
As a result, last season, the Saints defeated Manchester United and won the Premier League title with the attitude of being promoted from the Premier League, which is quite a legend in itself.
This season, Southampton shined in the Champions League, second only to Real Madrid in the group stage, and in the knockout round of the Champions League, they beat Turkey's Galatasaray 6-0 away in the first leg.
Just ask, how is this kind of performance not amazing?
If the Saints can really go further in this season's Champions League, or even win the title, won't it be the second Nottingham Forest?
No, even more legendary than Nottingham Forest!
If it's just the same results, then forget it, but the problem is that head coach Bielsa and Clough are also very similar, but Bielsa is not like Clough, with a kind of British tough guy brutality, but the passing and control styles of the two, as well as the overall coordination of tactics, have some similarities.
So, suddenly, when Boris Johnson said this, all the reporters present were a little stunned.
Look at the taciturn Bielsa in the distance, it seems that there is really such a thing!
Don't look at the Premier League, many fans are talking about the world's first league, but in fact, in English football, there is still a very strong retro mood, that is, the desire to recreate the glory of the seventies and eighties.
You must know that the English team at that time was invincible on the European continent and completely dominated European football.
In the late 70s and early 80s, there was little doubt about the dominance of English football in Europe, as Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa won six European Champions Leagues in those six years, including three for Liverpool, two for Nottingham Forest and one for Aston Villa.
Although the European Champions Cup was lost to Hamburg in the 8283 season, Liverpool soon won the European Champions Cup in the 8384 season, and in the 8485 season, they also reached the final of the European Champions Cup.
Unfortunately, Liverpool were greatly affected by the world-shattering Heysel tragedy before the final, and Juventus beat Liverpool in the game thanks to a very controversial penalty from Platini.
In the aftermath of the De Heysel tragedy, England teams were banned from European competitions.
Liverpool's Red Dynasty also went into complete decline after this battle.
Since then, the English team has lagged behind the European continent in terms of technical and tactical aspects, and its results in Europe have plummeted, and since then it has been sluggish until Manchester United won a Champions League in 99.
This is also the reason why Manchester United's treble in 99 years has been crazy by countless English fans!
For a long time, in the eyes of many English fans, it was UEFA's ban that beat English football!
Without UEFA's ban, with the strength of the English team at the time, I am afraid it would have continued to dominate European football.
Therefore, at the moment, Boris Johnson mentioned Nottingham Forest, and many people at the scene remembered the glory of English football in the past, and remembered the dazzling glory of the English team when they swept the Europa League in the past.
This made Yang Huan in the back a little dumbfounded.
I didn't see it, this guy's eloquence is still so incredible!
Sure enough, no wonder people say that this politician eats by his mouth!
Looking at Boris Johnson's generous back, in the eyes of many British women, this means that they are reliable.
This guy is going to enter the cabinet?
Then you have to run for the House of Commons first!
It seems that this guy is finally ready to take a crucial step!
In fact, Boris Johnson was a member of parliament more than ten years ago, but it was later revealed by the media that he had an improper relationship with a woman in the newspaper where he worked, and was eventually dismissed, but he still served as the Secretary of State for Education in the Conservative Party's shadow cabinet four years later, which shows the importance that the Conservative Party attaches to him.
The so-called shadow cabinet is a set of preparatory leadership groups prepared by the opposition parties in order to come to power.
In other words, if the Conservatives come to power, Boris Johnson will be the Secretary of State for Education.
But this guy was so ambitious that he gave up this position in order to run for mayor of London, and he was successfully elected and re-elected.
Listening to his tone, it seems that he has already made enough political capital and intends to go further.
Entering the National Assembly and entering the cabinet are indispensable and crucial steps for him to step up to the level of prime minister in the future.
Everyone knows that the vast majority of British prime ministers come from the House of Commons.
And if you want to campaign, you have to have funds, and if you want funds, you have to have donations to support it.
Money, Young Master Huan doesn't have anything else, but more money!
Thinking of this, Yang Huan smiled slightly, he had already made a decision.
Just because of his good relationship with Boris Johnson, there's no reason not to support it, isn't it?
Besides, many people have a misunderstanding about political donations, often thinking that giving money to support the election campaign is to gain policy preferences in the future, but in fact it is not.
For Yang Huan, he and his team have long understood the laws and policies of the United Kingdom, and use this set of laws and policies to seek their own benefits, so what he wants most now is not to tilt the policy, but to maintain the status quo.
The reason is very simple, if you spend money, the policy will be tilted towards you, so if another person spends money tomorrow, will the policy also be tilted towards him? If everyone is playing like this, then how can they continue? I can only die together!
Therefore, the rules of this game are very simple, not to tilt the policy, but to be stable!
Only when the policy is stable can everyone continue to play according to the existing set of models, right?
Just as Yang Huan was listening to Boris Johnson's very incendiary speech with a slight smile, two people walked next to him, one of whom was Southampton Mayor Terry Matthews.
"Young Master Huan!" Terry Matthews was extremely enthusiastic when he saw Yang Huan.
Without Young Master Huan's strong support, he wouldn't have expected to sit in this position at all.
"Hey, Terry!" Yang Huan smiled and turned his head away, and when he saw another person, "Oh, Ms. Miller! ”
But the British Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Maria Miller!
"Mr. Yang Huan, it is a great honor to be able to attend the unveiling ceremony of your new stadium!" Maria Miller smiled and shook hands with Yang Huan.
Over the past few years, there have been a number of quite good female politicians in British politics, and Maria Miller is one of them.
"Don't say that, Maria, I don't know how glad you're to come!" Yang Huan smiled and complimented.
At this time, Boris Johnson also noticed this, and immediately got rid of the enthusiastic reporter and greeted him.
The guy was even more shameless, giving Maria Miller a big bear hug, pretending as if they were very affectionate, and the reporters were like bees meeting nectar, and immediately swarmed up.
Then it naturally became that the two major politicians were singing a double reed.
This Boris Johnson's eloquence is indeed amazing.
When a reporter deliberately asked him whether supporting Southampton as the mayor of London would cause London citizens to be disgusted, Boris Johnson denied it, saying that in recent years, more and more Londoners are paying attention to Southampton, and even in Southampton's season ticket membership data, London citizens also occupy a large proportion.
After this guy's clever tongue, this problem was solved by force.
However, he is telling the truth, as there are more and more London fans in Southampton.
No way, it's close!
For many south London fans, coming to Southampton is as far away as heading north to see Arsenal play.
Even, the transportation is more convenient!
What Yang Huan didn't expect was that Maria Miller's eloquence was not bad, and she talked eloquently in the face of reporters, and even talked about the first leg of the Champions League knockout round two days ago, thinking that Southampton played the momentum of English football.
This made Yang Huan feel a little funny, and excused himself to withdraw from the crowd.
"How? Don't you think it's fake? Charlene Lahri walked over with a smile.
As soon as Yang Huan saw her, he was in a good mood, and shook his head and said, "No, I didn't mean that." ”
"Then why are you sighing?"
"I sighed because ......" Yang Huan thought for a while, "because I think that without their fakeness, how can I bring out my truth?" Are you right, Miss Charlene Rahry? ”
Charlene Lahri burst out laughing straight away, this guy is really narcissistic!
But at this moment, Peter Kenyon in the distance was already gesturing to Yang Huan, signaling that the time was almost up, and the unveiling ceremony was about to begin.
Yang Huan nodded, and after making a look at Charlene Lahri, he immediately stepped forward.
Seeing that Yang Huan had accusing the media reporters in front of him, saying that he would let Boris Johnson and Maria Miller, Terry Matthews and others attend the unveiling ceremony together, Charlene Lahri was vicious in the back, and really wanted to give him a kick.
Look back and see how I clean you up!
