Time flies quickly, the two legs of the Champions League semi-finals, there is obviously a time gap of weeks, but it makes people feel as if it has passed in a blink of an eye, too fast.

In the last Champions League semi-final, Southampton played away, and nearly 100,000 fans gathered at Glory Plaza, which not only made all the tenants of Glory Plaza excited, but also made everyone see the commercial potential here.

In the second leg, although Southampton was playing at home, Glory Square was still crowded.

With the experience of a week ago, this time, the merchants of Glory Plaza did not need to worry about it at all, and they themselves carefully prepared a series of promotions and promotions in advance, hoping to attract more fans to gather.

As a result, it was only dusk, and the area around Glory Square to St. Mary's Square was already full of traffic.

Even the police in Southampton were dispatched and had to come early to maintain order at the scene.

If there is a big blockage for the Saints in such a critical battle, the anger of the angry fans will definitely burn them all to slag, and even the police chief will probably have to step down and apologize.

A golden elongated version of the Lagonda Conquistador slowly followed the traffic and drove towards the St. Mary's Stadium.

This car is exactly the same as Yang Huan's car, but the license plate number is different.

But many fans of the Saints can't tell the difference, but they just know that some reporters have reported that the extended version of the Lagonda Conqueror is limited, and Young Master Huan has one, so many people are chasing this car and shouting Young Master Huan's name.

This made Pini Zahavi, who was sitting in the car, helpless and envious.

"It's a good taste to be misunderstood!"

Sitting across from him were the famous European agent Horabuchin, and the Brazilian superagent Giuliano Bertolucci.

Brazilians rarely come to Southampton, and when they see the group of fans outside who are making trouble, but they are chasing the car and shouting, they nod with envy and admiration: "I dare to say that Master Huan is definitely the most popular club owner in Europe!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Khorabchin nodded.

"I have been to so many clubs and seen so many operators, but there has never been any team, any owner who can win the hearts of so many fans and be so sought after by them like Master Huan!"

Pini Zahavi smiled, "That's for sure, you know, four years ago the Saints were in the third tier of England, but now? The Saints have a very good chance of reaching the Champions League final and becoming European champions! ”

"You say, just for this result, which club in Europe can do it?"

When he said this, the Israelis didn't forget to look back at the window, "Not to mention the group of fans outside, sometimes, even those of us who followed Young Master Huan all the way feel incredible, we ourselves didn't expect that there would be today, this feeling is like a dream!" ”

Giuliano Bertolucci couldn't stop nodding his head, "I met Raiola once, and he said that he sometimes even wondered if Young Master Huan had the ability to predict the future, because almost all the players he fancticated were quite good. ”

Pini Zahavi laughed, "He's right, if it's not a bit of science fiction, I feel it myself, and I'm even much stronger than that fat man." ”

After a pause, he seemed to recall his past experience.

"You know what? My first transaction with Southampton, I provided a list, but Young Master Huan picked it up and looked at it, picked up the pen, and called the names of several people, and as a result, each of these players is now worth a hundred times. ”

Speaking of this, Pini Zahavi shook his head with a wry smile, "If someone tells me that Young Master Huan can do divination, I will never doubt it, and I will even believe it!" ”

When Horabuchin and Giuliano Bertolucci heard this, they just smiled, but they didn't feel it deeply.

Since Oscar's move to Southampton, there have been more deals between them and the Saints.

Over the past year, they have brought the Saints some of Brazil's best talents, such as Jerson Kenedy and Barbosa, and Southampton have been unrelenting when it comes to bringing in such talent.

This time they came to Southampton mainly to talk to Southampton about Balbosa.

And if he could, Horabchin was very eager to negotiate a big deal with Young Master Huan.

The Conqueror of Lagonda slowly drove into the staff passage in Southampton and into the parking lot of the executive office.

There were many Saints fans outside the periphery shouting Young Master Huan's name outside the wall, but when they saw that it was not Young Master Huan who got out of the car, they were all disheartened, and some people were even booing.

This made Pini Zahavi and the others feel very depressed.

Please, you guys made a mistake, okay? Why boo us?

But they also know that Southampton attaches great importance to the interaction and contact with the fans, and they can only endure this injustice, otherwise, Southampton will definitely find them trouble.

"Let's go, let's go inside!"

The three of them hurried straight to the gate.

Southampton's new stadium is a big deal, and the Saints office now employs a lot of people, including about 20 in the marketing department alone, all of whom are elite talents in the industry.

In addition, there is a press and public relations department, a fan service department, and a competitive department......

All combined, there are more than 100 employees of the saints, and the office area will occupy a large area.

After consideration, Yang Huan decided to build a headquarters building at the Royal Cruise Terminal, which can provide a variety of services for fans in addition to the club's office, and the site of the Saints Fan Club will also be there.

So, until the construction of the headquarters building was completed, the offices of the Saints were still at St. Mary's Stadium.

Don't look at this office as a little small and old, but after renovating, the image is completely different from the past.

As soon as you enter the lobby, there is a young front desk sitting in the depths.

As soon as he saw Pini Zahawi and the others coming in, he immediately stood up with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Zahavi, Mr. Gurley informed me before, you are here, you can go directly to his office, please come with me!" ”

"Okay, thank you!"

Giuliano Bertolucci was a little surprised when he was visiting Southampton's administrative office for the first time.

"This is completely in accordance with the modern enterprise management model!"

Holabchin came a few times and nodded, "yes, so Southampton is very efficient. ”

Who's to say it isn't?

The current football clubs, especially the big teams, are called terrible in management, and they are not efficient at all.

Everywhere is full of favors and relationships, corpses are vegetarian, and people who do nothing abound.

Looking at Southampton's ability to modernise management, it's not hard to see how ambitious this team is.

The front desk quickly led them to the front of an office with the chief operating officer hanging on the door.

After knocking on the door, the front desk led them in.

"Hello, Pinicia Giuliano, and welcome to St. Mary!"

As soon as Ron Gurley saw them enter, he left his desk and greeted them.

Because there have been many transactions and contacts before, they are familiar with each other, and they say a few polite words as soon as they meet.

Southampton are now a big team, and Ron Gurley is in charge of the team's transfer operations, so it is natural that Pini Zahavi Horabchin and Giuliano Bertolucci are highly valued.

Of course, heavy reinforcements or something need to be negotiated by multiple people, but some low-priced young players only need to pass the technical assessment, and Ron Gurley can make his own decisions.

However, I heard that Southampton will also assess his performance.

"This time, I invited them here, and it was a bit sudden." Ron Gurley started with an apology.

Horabuchin smiled and shook his head, "Ron, it's too much for you to say that, Southampton vs. Bayern Munich, even if you don't invite us to come, we have to come in every possible way, it's a pity to miss it!" ”

"Isn't it? I heard that the market is generally optimistic that Southampton will reach the final, can we miss it? Bertolucci laughed too.

Ron Gurley smiled, he was actually just expressing an attitude, could it be that he was really afraid that they would be unhappy?

No kidding, Southampton doesn't need to look at anyone's face now!

"Ron, you said before, what exactly is the situation about Balbosa?" Bertolucci asked with concern.

Ron Gurley nodded: "Here's the thing, about two days ago, Young Master Huan told me that he was going to loan a player to Ajax, so I asked the technical department to evaluate it, and they felt that Barbosa could do it, so I wanted to hear your opinions." ”

"To Ajax?" Khorabchin and Bertolucci looked at each other, both surprised.

But it's also a very good opportunity for the players.

Don't look at the decline of the Eredivisie now, Ajax is no longer the heroic style of the European giants, and even compared with the beginning of the century, it is regrettable to decline, but in the end, it is the former youth training temple, the ability to cultivate players, that is leverage, if Barbosa can have an outstanding performance at Ajax, his value will immediately skyrocket.

"What do you think?" Ron Gurley asked with a smile.

In fact, Southampton can make up their own minds about this kind of thing, and they don't need to ask their brokers at all.

But out of politeness, Ron Gurley decided to talk to them.

"We don't have a problem!" Horabuchin and Bertolucci made the decision with eye contact.

"But, Ron, will you be able to play the main force at Ajax?"

This is also a very crucial factor.

Barbosa is a standout performer in the Brazilian league, but he is only seventeen years old.

There is no problem with going to Ajax, but you have to have a game to play, and without a game there is no value in training, and it is not as meaningful as staying in Brazil.

"Don't worry, I've communicated with Ajax, main force!"

Hearing this, Horabchin and Bertolucci immediately nodded, "Then we have no problem." ”

Ron Gurley nodded and smiled, "Okay, then I'll have someone follow up on this matter and get it done as soon as possible, so that Balbosa can participate in Ajax's summer training camp." ”

"Good!"

Being able to participate in the summer camp is so important for a new player.

"Ron, why did you suddenly decide to let Balbosa join Ajax?" Pini Zahavi asked curiously.

Ron Gully smiled: "Originally, we were sending Aboubakar on loan at Ajax, but now we have decided to transfer this player to Hamburg, so Ajax wanted us to be able to send another player on loan, so after thinking about it, we chose Barbosa. ”

Pini Zahawi and Khorabchin, both of whom are the kind of people with eyes and hands, immediately caught the slightest hint when they heard this, especially the Israelis, who immediately laughed.

"Ron, it seems that Young Master Huan has successfully entered the Bundesliga!"

Ron Gurley smiled and shook his head, "Only 35 percent of the shares!" ”

These words immediately made Horabuchin and Bertolucci's eyes light up, and they looked at Pini Zahavi again in unison, and there was a hint of asking for help in their eyes.

"Ron, I don't know, where is Young Master Huan now? Is there time we would like to meet him? ”
